I've always belonged to a gym and "thought" I was working out but at bootcamp I work muscles that I didn't know I had! Paul and his staff are amazing and the friends that I've made are priceless!

Went to one of his "group exercise classes" and this place a JOKE! First of all, he still has the…read moreold Curves sign on this door, and from my understanding he's been there for year. Second, he has no business cards, third his website isn't updated accurately with the class schedule, which would possibly be OK if he had al pamphlet in his office with the correct schedule. Nope, didn't have that either. That alone told me he was a on very low budget. When you walk into the next room, it's basically an empty room with dumbbells scattered around the room. The room isn't very big and the carpet appears to be a good 40+ years old. So it's time to work out now. He tells the overweight guy standing next to me to show me how to roll out. Overweight guy is now telling me how to stretch. I'm sorry, I thought it was the instructor's job to lead the class in a group warm up? Apparently not. It's a free-for-all. The "instructor" was still sitting at his desk while everyone warmed up and stretched on their own. Mind you, I do work out and I know how to stretch, but thankfully overweight guy was there to guide me (really?!). So now we start the workout. It's basically six rounds of six exercises, 30 seconds each exercises. Once you finish the first round, instead of going right into the second round, you just sit it there, for a good minute until he tells you to start. We never left that dingy little room with the old carpet. We barely even left the spot we were working in. In the adjoining room next to us (some people had to move over since there wasn't enough room in the main workout room for what little people were there) there was a man a woman who proceeded to TALK the ENTIRE time. They never shut up! This was very distracting, and frankly rude and disrespectful for others who were trying to work out. At one point our "instructor" is talking to people while we're doing our exercises. And he wasn't talking to them because he was trying to help them, he was BS'ing with them. At one point he said to another male member "I can see your sweaty f*cking balls." That was about my final straw. I am all for a relaxed environment, but this was almost too relaxed, and lacked professionalism in so many ways. When the class was finally over (thank God!) I looked at overweight guy and asked if Paul leads us in a cool down stretch. Nope! You do that on your own too. So basically I got a class of total chaos, no professionalism from the instructor and a facility that has no actual equipment, thank God it was a drop-in and didn't cost me any money. And this guy charges $175 a MONTH for this. I wouldn't pay $1.75 for a class of his. Oh and at end he had the nerve to offer my friend (who's lost over 50 lbs and is about a size 4-6) and eating plan, so she could lose weight. Mind you, Paul is a large guy, and not because he's cut, he's fat. So to have him tell my in-shape friend she needed to lose weight was the final straw. This guy clearly is a start-up with absolutely no money. His "gym" has zero equipment only consist of dumbbells kettle bells. The best thing he can do is to stop into another gym, look at what equipment and they and observe how a true group class should be taught. Needless to say we never came back.

YDM is open 24 hours, it has 1, 3, 6 and 12 month membership options so you're not locked in for a year with no other options. It's not a large place but it has the equipment I need to get to my goals. It's a gym set up for personal training, that is probably 75% of the business they do there if I had to guess. If a trainer is what you're looking for I would totally recommend you to stop in and talk the owner Tom. If you're looking to be on your own and you just want a gym this is not a bad choice but its not as glamorous as a chain gym. It all comes down to the amenities you are looking for in a gym. Good luck.
