    Susan O.

    Please stay away from this gym! My contract with the RAC for Woman ended months ago (couldn't renew because of the pandemic and the gym being closed). When Athena's Army bought it, I decided to cancel over the summer (not planning on going to the gym during COVID). Between an EXTREMELY rude and unprofessional phone calls and emails, they charged my account for a few months AFTER I ended an outdated membership. Nothing in writing was presented to me about this. Now Athena's Army is sending bullying posts to the old RAC for Woman Facebook page demanding people pay or your credit will be ruined. How on earth can they stay in business? There are plenty of great (and professional) gyms in the Rochester area, don't give them your business or you'll seriously regret you did!

    On this day, they had staff in the building unmasked but still not answering any phone calls.

The pandemic took a real toll on my fitness routine and I knew I needed to try something different if I wanted to start feeling better again, so I took a shot on winning 6 personal training sessions with these guys. I was blown away immediately by the upbeat, encouraging attitudes of each team member who acknowledged that I was struggling but also made it clear that we were going to work hard and work together to get me back to where I wanted to be. I finished out my trial 6-pack of sessions and loved them so much that I decided to purchase more to keep going! My sessions are 30 minutes each of intense and challenging guided exercises with healthy doses of "atta girl"s and very good music for a soundtrack. It's a solid 30 minute commute for me to get here but it's so worth it. They also offer nutrition training and total health coaching. If you're looking to do something good for your body, give these guys a call!

I was having way too much fun just eating and barely getting outside. Having a safe way to work out during the pandemic plus getting a killer workout in is seriously so clutch for my overall physical and mental health as winter nears. The workouts are always challenging but fun. I find myself getting stronger each week. I admire Rob's positive and encouraging approach. He keeps you MOVING and really packs in lots of different movements during each session. Getting a personal trainer truly maximizes your time and is such an efficient way to work out. Each time I end a session with Rob I learn a little more about fitness and my own health. He challenges you during your time with him and your time away from him to make healthier decisions. Super excited to continue my journey here and so happy I found this gem in Rochester!

    I have been to Affronti Fitness over a year now. I am very happy when I leave. Which is probably…read morepretty good. When I'm there I feel like I'm in hell! I will tell you a few things about Austyn Affronti. It was obvious to me immediately that he is a very serious young man, and he shows it by giving complete attention to those he is working with. You may assume that all physical trainer should do that, and you are right but it doesn't always work out the way it should. Austyn wants a great foundation, and what I mean by that is that he wants you to work perfectly so you will accomplish the most without potentially hurting yourself. I have now worked out as I said four times. In many businesses in the very beginning the person (The salesman) that's showing the form service is perfect but eventually some become lazy once they feel they've made the sale. So far I have noticed nothing but perfection. I hope I am right, I will let you know either way in the future. In addition I explained to Austyn I wanted to lose weight. Austyn created a menu for me. Time will tell how it works. But, if you look at the photographs you can see a major difference between people he has worked out with in the past showing before and after. More so those are real pictures, it is obvious these pictures are accurate and honest. They show pictures of before and now now. The pictures also show men and women young and older. There's a good chance hopefully before stars will become five. If another couple months it continues I definitely would go five. Yelp people we all love to eat. We also like to be healthy and look good. Try Affronti may work well for you too.

    Good news, Yelpers: if you'd wanted to try StretchLab but thought going out to Victor was too much…read moreof a hassle, you have another option. The StretchLab in Pittsford Plaza is easy to find and potentially a bit more convenient. If you've been to the Victor location, then you'll have an idea of what to expect. If not, it's still fairly simple: you'll check in for your appointment and switch to your grippy socks, and then discuss what you want to work on with your flexologist. Your first appointment is likely going to be a 25 minute stretch, where you focus on what you're in need of the most and then go from there. Like at Victor, the flexologists keep track of your progress and note any discomfort or other issues. Lately I've been taking advantage of various massage gun apparatus type things, which get at achy muscles like never before. I keep forgetting to take advantage of Normatec sessions, which aren't easy to book online or through the app. The staff is happy to help you get set up with your appointments in person and you can opt in for texts with vacancies that day. Finally, as you may recall, StretchLab takes FSA/HSA/HRA cards! It's never been easier to get the best use out of your dollars. Save your receipts if your plan doesn't have a debit card for reimbursement. I like both StretchLab locations, but I think I might just like Pittsford a bit better. You'll get a similar experience with qualified staff at both locations, but for me, Pittsford is just a bit easier to get to and that might be all you need to finally book that first stretch.

    I give 1 star for the instructors who teach the group classes. But that's it. I have been going to…read morethe RAC for women since May 2017 and I'm already counting the days until my membership is over. Thinking about paying it out or just signing up for a new gym until this one runs out. Here are my grievances: 1. They offer these "Power 30" classes you have to buy beyond your membership to utilize. They are actually pretty nice classes but expensive. The issue is these classes take place in the free weight room (arguably the busiest weight room of the gym) during BUSY hours. That means all us mere muggles must push off and work out some place else (why am I paying for a gym membership when I can't access the equipment?!). 2. If you want morning classes, get up at 5am or forget about it. How hard is it to offer a 6:30 or 7am yoga class? They only offer Power 30 in the morning when people want classes, so basically you can only utilize the prime hours and area of the gym if you pay more money. 3. Be prepared to receive lesser treatment from the staff if you are not paying more money for either Power 30 or personal training. Be prepared to be kicked off equipment so they can use it for their purposes. It has happened to me several times! Today a trainer was working with a woman, watched me use the pully machine as part of my exercise circuit. Walked up and took my attachments off, changed the weight, and used the machine for 10+ minutes when I only had one circuit left to do. The girl she was training even felt bad and I heard her say "I really don't mind walking to the other weight room," to which the trainer replied "No, we're staying right here" as she took my attachments off. Just rude!! Couldn't even ask if I was done using the equipment. 4. The free two meetings with a "personal trainer" they offer you are garbage. They set everyone who comes in up with almost the exact same plan. The girl who set my plan up was so miserable, she obviously hated working there and didn't care if I came back to the gym ever again. She doesn't work there any more (so much for helping me keep on track). If you want any useful help you have to pay for a personal trainer. 5. If you walk in and someone asks if you know anyone who wants to join, just say NO or she will text your personal phone trying to pressure you into referring your friends. There is no benefit to throwing your friends under the bus. They don't give you a free power 30 or a free month or anything if one of your friends sign up from your reference. And trust me, you do NOT want your friends going here! The only thing that I don't hate about this gym are the instructors. Susan and Jodi are both fantastic instructors and I love their yoga classes. I will miss them when I leave.

My number one love has always been running. Unfortunately, over the past several years, I have had my fair share injuries and set backs. And, as anyone who loves any particular activity knows, taking time off is torture! I am happy to report I am still at Pursuit Performance now 10 months later. (In spite of initially not planning to stay more than a month or two - which I think speaks volumes.) Why? The trainers are hands-on and tailor workouts based on your history and needs. Josh incorporates a diverse range of modalities that address mobility, agility, strengthening, coordination - and most importantly - injury prevention. Nothing is cookie-cutter and everything is intentional. As a runner, my goal primary goal was to get out of a rut and remain injury free so that I could keep running. Not only did Pursuit Performance deliver, but the icing on the cake? My performance has improved dramatically in a short time. I have come so far since last summer and I feel better both physical and mentally - I can't recommend Pursuit Performance enough. I promise you this is the best step you can take in order to realize your potential. There are lots of investments out there; if you are going to invest in anything, make it this. What you put in you will get back tenfold. And one more thing: I always look forward to seeing new faces, so come work out and make some new friends!
