It's semi-private, so you never feel uncomfortable in front of large crowds like at most large gyms. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the clients develop personal relationships with other customers as well as trainers (it's like one big fitness home). They are determined to see you succeed and will do anything to help you meet your goals. Having a personal trainer keeps me motivated and is the reason I make it to the gym. If I didn't have a scheduled appointment, I don't know if I would have the drive to make it there. In addition to appointments, they also have a cardio room which you can use whenever and bootcamp classes that help you stay on track. Whether you're there because of health reasons or just to feel better, it's definitely worth the investment and worth checking out!

She will inspire, motivate and challenge you to be your best self - on the bike and off the bike! Her classes will make your stronger each time you go! Class starts with a warm up, then expect to be challenged throughout the workout with hills and to push yourself through a sprint. Unlike other studios, you could tell Devon put time into her playlists and found remixes and beats that matched her moves rather than using a standard Spotify playlist. Always a great workout and anticipate to be a sweaty mess by the end!

Upon a recommendation of a friend, I stopped into The Vicious Cycle. I was immediately impressed with the hometown feel of the facility and the staff. I was also impressed that the clients were arriving and leaving with a smile on their face. After only my second class, the owner was already greeting me by name (I must be that much of a trouble maker). All of the instructors are top notch, encouraging, willing to go out of their way to help, and their attitudes are always above the clouds!! With both spinning and strength training available, I'd recommend The Vicious Cycle for anybody who is starting out, getting back into it, or maintaining their fitness. You'll be sweating with a smile on your face, and leave a happier person!! And wanting to go back for more!!

A couple of meals were posted on the app but it was not tailored to my needs and food allergies, just cut and paste generic recipes. Worthless. The gym is dirty, grips are sticky which implies that they are not wiped down ( I used machines right after another person and no wiping was done). My workouts were not structured with respect to goals and when I questioned James he said he would have to get to know me better and he needed a year? As I questioned many things, I was met with answers that were not direct and a barrage of statements that "I'm the best, I have degrees, you should trust me?" My confidence waned after several weeks of trying to stick with working out and quite frankly not knowing if it was appropriate for me or I was moving from machine to machine just to fill the half hour which cost $50. In addition to the facility smelling like mold, floors dirty, machine grips sticky, the bathroom was nasty too. Clean and spacious environments.. its a log cabin and the air quality is not the best. On the website it states Monday thru Saturday. Not so. He doesn't work on weekends. And train "like a movie star".. well, I don't even understand why that is on the website as a leader statement. Do u think it is appropriate to be training someone for $50. A HALF hour and be on the phone with a Company because your website is not working? Or leave to tell a person working in your yard where to dig holes? Professionalism...lacking. Think twice before you join this gym.. the photos on the website are misleading, it doesn't look like that and the trainer espouses how great he is but I witnessed nothing that gave me confidence with respect to a customized structured workout plan just for me. Does anyone ask for a year to "get to know you" if they are an expert in the field. I have worked out all my life and have been to many gyms. I do not claim to know all things but I am not a novice with respect to working out. I was expecting a personalized training program and goals with a personal trainer and so disappointed because of the great buildup of all the testimonials online and the complete absence of "personal" with respect to training. I had five more sessions that I paid for.. $600. for 12 1/2 hr sessions. He refused to give me a partial refund and he took money he didn't earn. By the way, are those photos on the website of actual people that have been there or stock photos? Clean and spacious place to work out? Customized workout plan? Sports nutritioni? Train like a movie star? Med Core. Beware.

Ok, the facility, owners and managers are really great that is not my issue. The issue is the…read more4:30-5:00 AM crowd that comes in and either stands around on equipment while on their phone, or 2 slam the weights down so incredibly hard I can hear it while I'm running on the treadmill across the gym. They really need to do something about these wanna be body builder guys that will do bent over rows right in front of the rack, and when you politely say "excuse me" so you can get your weights, they say "ill move when I'm done." To make it worse, you can not cancel this contract. I have complained about the women in here that also take 4 different sets of weights to work out with, but when another member did that one time, I saw this lady go up to him and say "there are no weights to use, put them back," when he was only using 2 sets of weights. I get that it is unstaffed at this time in the AM, but they need to review their security footage especially about guys who drop 100LB dumbbells from shoulder height on the floor and could hurt someone. I am trying to find a woman's only gym in the area to not have to deal with these guys and this lady that acts like it her own personal gym in the morning.

As someone who's gone to this gym from time to time, there are a few pros & cons that I will list…read moreout in detail to help you better understand as to whether or not this gym is for you! Pros: The gym has a LARGE amount of amenities. There are two basketball courts (which are also used for pickleball), an indoor lap pool with hot tubs, an outdoor swimming area with slides (at an extra charge). There are classes, a ton of different machines for both cardio and lifting, and a really clean and upscale atmosphere. People tend to mind their own business and the staff have on average been helpful, at least in my experience. There is also a kids "daycare" if that's what you call it. A lot of parents will use this so they can have time to work out and actually work. There's a little area right next to the cafe that has tables and outlets. I see a lot of people with MacBooks doing work. They probably work remotely. Who knows. Cons: The price point for this gym is definitely the highest of them all coming in at $220.00 a month per person. IF you are married or you can prove cohabitation, you can add an additional person on your account for around $100 a month. This gym definitely has a crowd that is very gymcentric. This isn't a bad thing. But some people who are looking for a more chill or less intimidating atmosphere may think twice. I was one of these people until I decided to just not care. But that's easier said than done. The gym can be exceptionally crowded at peak hours. So if you plan on going daily I'd do my very best to avoid late afternoons on weekdays and nights on weekends. I was hoping the bathroom situation would be a little better but, there seems to be 2 bathrooms for ladies and men of course (from what I've seen). And with the amount of people there sometimes, it can be a little bit hectic. The locker room is fine and the showers are just average. At the price point of $220.00 I was expecting some futuristic pod shower than also does your taxes but, we all can't have what we want. The outside swimming area is an additional monthly charge, by the way. Conclusion: So take it or leave it. The price point is HIGH, but there are a lot more amenities and options for machines than any other gym out there. Is that justified? I don't really know. So three stars. Until they have a robot that does my taxes, then it might go to 4.
