I'd be lying if I said the idea of a gym that lowers the oxygen and increases the nitrogen in the…read moreroom to make your lungs work harder didn't sound intimidating. But after giving their first free class a try, I got hooked. If you haven't heard of Airlab, I highly recommend looking into it. It takes your typical group style HIIT circuit workout and elevates it, (pun intended), by creating an environment that challenges both your lungs and muscles in a completely different way. The concept is very unique. Before starting the workout, they display the current oxygen level and the equivalent altitude, letting you experience what it would feel like to train atop some of the highest mountains and iconic peaks. You'll burn more calories, increase cardiovascular health and most importantly, recover faster. The space and equipment are immaculate and each 45-minute session walks you through a variety of movements targeting upper body, lower body, core, or full-body, depending on the day. It keeps every class fresh, challenging, and never repetitive. They also do Hyrox training if you're into that. I'm also a big fan of all the coaches I've trained with. They're incredibly attentive, encouraging, and always making sure your form, pace, and technique are correct. If you're not used to training at higher elevations, like I am, there's definitely an adjustment period. I had to seriously pace myself during the first couple of weeks, and even now after a couple months in, I still listen to my body when needed. But if there's one thing I've noticed for certain is the improvement in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness. I'm genuinely seeing and feeling the benefits this style of training is doing for my body. Airlab has earned a fan in me, and I look forward to every workout and the progress that comes with it.

New to Coral Gables area, their…read moreother location is in Midtown Miami, I had only come across AL via an anonymous text of introduction. Usually these go directly to spam.... Timing and serendipity plus investigating website and reviews, I decided to set a preliminary appointment to visit location and discuss MY specific requirements and parameters. Conversation with owner Varun was informative. He listened and introduced me to Certified Personal Trainer Mike. All gyms have pluses, however, this is NO run-of-the-mill gym. There is science and research based benefit with AirLab's copyrighted process. Imagine working out on a mountaintop where oxygen is lighter. One's body is working at optimal effort. This is not about 'no pain, no gain'. The team are trained to work in this unique environment. As I walked outside after my first training session, I felt grounded in my stride having spent an hour inhaling purified oxygen; and actually walked four miles without effort. Whether placebo, positive thinking or reality, after just two sessions, others inquired what I was doing as they complimented my healthy glow. Yes, process and progress are a combination of good nutrition, self-care, etc.... Not just pumped muscles. Good health at any age takes: Information. Determination. Commitment. I thought I was in good shape before.....lol..... now the bar has been raised. I welcome the challenge...... and the RESULTS! Truly this is an ELEVATED EXPERIENCE ‼

Huge thanks to Diandra L for introducing me to this fabulous gym!…read more In town for a family wedding, I kicked off my Saturday morning with a P.I.T. Conditioning class with Sara. My cousin was my partner in class and there was no lack of motivation as we made our way through 20 stations and got a full body workout including strength and cardio. Sara and Nico were both super welcoming and this gym has an awesome community feel to it where everyone feels welcome. If I lived in the area, I'd definitely be a regular here. Instead, I'll keep it in mind for future visits!

I've been on class pass recently to discover new gyms and routines that get me excited to work out…read moreand let me tell you Legacy is becoming one of my favorites! I have done this workout at their Wynwood studio and also the Little River location so I knew I was in for a challenging but fun workout. The workout format is PIT (Partner interval training) so you rotate around the room with a partner for 20 stations for 2 minutes each. Depending on the exercise you and your partner alternate for reps or time or work together. If you're someone who has anxiety about trying a new gym and having to pair up with someone you don't know - do not worry about this here! The trainer and also everyone in the class are welcoming and friendly so it's a-ok if you are walking in alone. I love the idea of pairing up with someone who's super into the class because it pushes me to lift heavier, try harder and make them proud. I have gone to Nico's 7:10 am class for the last two weeks and then another Saturday class with Andre. They break up the classes into strength, conditioning and performance days to focus on different styles of training, but I have grown to love the set up of this workout. The studio does have some parking spots in front, but there is also plenty of metered parking nearby as well as a garage. Pro-tip - if you go to a class before 9 am, the meters are free. You'll also want to be sure to bring a towel to this workout as the studio does require it. It's def needed because you work up a sweat and don't want to leave your equipment sweaty for your partner or other class participants. The energy and music during the classes with fuel you to an epic calorie burn, that is gaurenteed!

I saw an ad (see picture) talking about a free 6 week chsllenge and decided I could do a free 6 week challenge. By now I've lost 30 pounds and wanted to get back into a box. I am on Reddit and asked about anyone that had done one and received a barrage of responses that it wasn't actually free. So I text the person that text me about the appointment, introducing himself as Sergio, and asked him about the challenge being free. He ended up cancelling my appointment without asking if that's what I wanted. Had I been given a straight answer about something I felt *uncomfortable* with, I probably would have gone to see what was being offered.

I actually enjoy it and I have also seen results. I like that you can get in and out in an hour and experience the most complete workout you can imagine. The workouts are always different so I do not get bored and they have lots of equipment you can use post workout to cool down or even continue pushing through. I have been with Aim Higher for almost a year and I absolutely love coming here to workout. Not only are the coaches attentive, funny and knowledgeable, but I have also made lots of friends. I appreciate that it feels like a family and no one ever makes you feel bad about your progress or lack thereof. There are no mean spirited individuals and everyone is very motivational. They are located in a great location right off of Bird Rd (sw 40th street) and 38th avenue in one of the rental communities near Merrick Park. There is a garage connected to the building so lack of parking is never a problem, which seems to be an ongoing dilemma in the Gables area (and with other cross fits in the area too). Come by and check them out!

They have a great variety of equipment and workout options, plus group classes that are actually really good. I just wish they offered morning yoga again because it used to be one of my favorites. A few things they could improve: some of the machines need maintenance, especially the hip thrust machine. The backrest padding is ripped and can literally cut or leave marks if you're wearing a sports bra. Also, I'm not sure what's up with the AC because it gets hot, especially in the back area near the squat racks and leg press machines. They do validate parking for two hours, which is super convenient, and while the membership is pricey, it's pretty reasonable for the area and everything the gym offers. Overall, I love working out here. It's one of the best gyms in Miami in terms of size, equipment, and energy.

A great gym. Superb equipment there are plenty of machines available to serve the Ninguna community.read more

This was only my second Pilates class ever, so I had no idea what I was walking into. Turns out I walked into the abs and glutes class of all abs and glutes classes. Lauren is tough -- but the kind of tough that keeps you going because she makes it fun and challenging at the same time. I wanted to quit and keep going all at once, which I think means she's doing something right. Beyond the workout itself, the studio was spotless, the energy in a full class was great, and the music kept the vibe going the whole time. Really impressive first experience here. I'll be back -- once my abs recover. Highly recommend if you're looking for a studio that actually pushes you.
