I'm a fan of Snap Fitness. Becoming a member is cheap (especially if you join with a group for a…read morefamily plan) and it opens you up to any of their locations. Very convenient. Now that I've stopped at a few of their other locations, I have to say that this location, the one I frequent the most being that it's just a couple blocks from home, isn't the best. I'll start with the pros - the staffer is awesome. I've only ever seen one woman staffing this location but she is always very friendly and helpful. They landed themselves a hard worker :) The other big pro is the location. On Snelling, just north of Summit, this spot is so quick and easy to get to. Especially when you live three blocks away. But that's also one of the con's too. It's a small sized Snap, with a big time crowd. I frequently have trouble parking in the lot it shares with multiple other businesses which is always a drag. The other issue is that this location gets packed after work and it only has 9 ellipticals/treadmills which are often completely full. This place gets the job done, I just know you can enjoy your experience more at another location.

I have been training with Lenora for a couple of months now and feel like the luckiest person in…read morethe world to have found her. I did a ton of research when l started looking for a personal trainer and interviewed several trainers in person. While they were all great in their own right, Lenora stood out among the rest. She has a solid education backing her training up and truly approaches it in a holistic way, which was exactly what I was looking for. So far she has helped me greatly! We are working through some postural issues I have and she is really great during every session making sure we are doing the right exercises to help strengthen and balance my body and changing something if it isn't working. Lenora really knows her stuff. She also helps me out nutritionally and is very educated in this as well. She makes workouts fun, but also kicks your a$$. She is very good at helping you learn to push yourself and cheering you on the whole way. She finds out what really motivates you and utilizes that in your sessions. She's firm, yet gentle and nurturing at the same time. Basically, she is amazing. She is changing my body, mind and spirit....my whole life! I will be continuing to work with her for a while. She is also guiding me through training for a 1/2 marathon. I have never been a runner, but with her help, I am becoming one...at age 34! I have also lost weight, toned up, gained confidence, etc. I HIGHLY recommend Lenora of Holistic Personal Training. You will not be sorry!

I am writing to strongly endorse my personal trainer, Lenora Lemke. I met Lenora when I was…read moredetermined to establish a consistent exercise routine and healthy lifestyle. She has helped me achieve those goals and MUCH MORE. She used her training as a therapist to guide me through a time when I was in a toxic unsafe work environment and trying to keep depression at bay. She used her body understanding to help me get my body structurally aligned. She used her training in nutrition to assess my specific needs and advise me. I could text her a nutrition question and know her answers were based on the latest research! On top of all her technical skills, she is one of the kindest, high integrity people I know. Anyone would benefit from working with and knowing Lenora. Although she has moved across the country, I still have a weekly check in with Lenora that helps me to keep on track. Her advice is always spot on!

I'm always on the fence about this location... here's why:…read morePros: some of the most experienced and talented trainers I've seen at an LA and staff is very friendly. Cons: literally NO ventilation in the weight section! I'll get to the end of my first couple of sets and feel like I'm about to pass out from the stuffiness. It's also usually pretty dirty and people don't treat the equipment very well. Also don't like that the cable machines are locked at starting at 15lbs. Why not 5 like the other locations? Overall an average location, but not my first pick.

My main gym is Maplewood, but I thought this one would be convenient. I knew it was bad but not…read morethis bad. The only time worth going is 5-8am so it is not packed, and even when packed, it is full of terrible gym etiquette. I am not even talking about cleaning off your machine after using it, which is overkill unless you are leaving sweat marks. But I cannot tell you how many times it would be packed and someone is using three machines at once, on opposite corners of the gym, with no phone, water bottle, towel, or headphones to even indicate the machine is in use. This is the same for people using three different sets of dumbbells while it is packed. Machines being in service for weeks at a time is to be expected, and even people being loud while working out, not a problem. However, even the basics facilities are rough. I went on a Friday and all of their water fountains were not working, no sign, and a bucket underneath one to catch a leak. I tried to fill my preworkout and a staff member told me they shut it off for the pool and he would fix it. He did not, I drank it before he came up to me and it tasted like straight chlorine. If I was a woman I would never go after 8am. The people are rough and unabashedly stare at women squatting. The no guests for basketball rule is a great addition, since the other St. Paul location (my old go-to) was shut down after countless fights and squad cars parked out front. It just sucks paying what ends up to be $35+ a month for a real gym that is not a real gym. At this point I see why people suck it up and go to planet fitness, snap, or anytime, while people who can afford it go to Los Canpeones or Lifetime.
