The bonus is that it's only 45 minutes! This studio has a kids babysitting area so work out while your kids are entertained. Parking is available on the street - Just don't park in the 30 minutes zone and by the fire hydrant!

I know many people who spend $100+ per hour on personal trainers, but thanks to Definition Fitness…read moreyou can experience the perks of personal training at a fraction of the cost. For just $25/session (yes- $25!!) Dan offers semi-personal training sessions basically whenever you want. I've been trained by Dan 4 times in the past few weeks & here's why I"ll continue to be a regular customer: - Challenging workouts: Thanks (or maybe no thanks) to Dan I've been sore for the first time in a few years. While I incorporate a lot of shred415 and spinning into my fitness routine, I realize I've been missing necessary weight training. - Flexibility: Between 3 small children and a busy job I can hardly keep my schedule straight. I can't commit to a specific time each week, but Dan is happy to train me whenever with just a 1/2 hour notice (although I do try to give him more than that). I've been there in the morning, mid afternoon and evening...and he's been ready each time with a challenging workout. - Focus on form: I'm pretty sure I do half the moves wrong when I take classes, but the instructors are so busy that they rarely take the time to correct my form. Dan spends time on every move to make sure my form is correct. In my 4 times at his gym I've been by myself or with 1 other person so he's able to spend time correcting form. - Nice guy: A challenging workout can suck if you don't have any distractions. However, Dan is fun to chat/gossip with so the hours I've spent with him go relatively fast. Unfortunately, he has the ability to chat and count at the same time so the chit chat doesn't mean I can any easier workouts. I paid for 12 workouts upfront so will be spending lots more time with Dan in the near future and recommend to anyone else looking for a challenging, affordable and/or flexible personal trainer.

Definition Fitness transformed my body. A month and a half after joining Definition Fitness I had…read moredropped 10 lbs and a dress size. This is all due to the dynamic combination of cardio and weight training by the amazing trainers at DF. Dan Deitch, the owner, is not only an amazing trainer, but a really great guy who will do anything to accommodate your schedule. The trainers are funny and engaging, and give great workouts...never the same one twice! It is hands down the best fitness facility I have ever been affiliated with, and I have done it all. $100 per hour personal trainers, fancy fitness studios...they all pale in comparison to the workout I get and the fun I have at Definition Fitness. At $25 per hour it is also the best deal in town. Not only are the trainers great, but the clientele is as well. Sometimes it will just be you and a trainer one on one, but sometimes the trainer might be working out one or two other people as well. As people go in around the same time each week, you get to know the other people you train with and I have made some wonderful new friends! I can't say enough positive things about Dan and Definition Fitness. Dan will let you try the first workout free and I urge you to do it. You'll be hooked. I know I am!

I hadn't done yoga since before the pandemic and wanted to do hot yoga. Somehow I stumbled upon a…read morefree class to The Hot Room and decided to take advantage of it. It was really easy to book a class and I thoroughly enjoyed it with Joseph. I downloaded the app and have found it easy to navigate. I love that it keeps your schedule after reserving classes. The things I didn't like are that there are not different levels, and there are no descriptions of the different classes on the app. After my free class they had a promotion for all the classes you can take in two weeks for $59. Without understanding all of the differences or knowing the instructors (some places have profiles on their websites), I booked several classes that worked with my schedule not knowing the differences, and definitely enjoyed two of my three classes so far. I appreciate the kindness of all of the instructors when they realize that someone is new, and the follow-up asking for feedback is nice as well. (I also received text asking how things were going and if I had any questions, yet when I wrote back with a question I never got a response.) A lot of regulars go here, which is encouraging as well. All ages too! I was feeling old but there are quite a few seniors, which made me feel comfortable with being somewhat out of practice. I have enjoyed most of the instructors who encouraged us to go at our own pace and don't single people out or embarrass anyone as some places do. I have come out drenching with sweat but feeling great! I have several classes to go so we'll see if I've found a new yoga home.

Update: There's…read morestill a lot to like here, but the studio has kind of been eroding since I last reviewed it two years ago. First the good news: they seem to have repaired what was a deeply unreliable and often broken furnace/humidifier -- I was frustrated by going to "The Hot Room" only to find it "The Warm Room" or even "The Cool Room." That said, the disappointing: the old sense of community at this studio is largely gone -- often feels more like a mid-range gym where you show up, do your workout, and leave. Little amenities that used to be there are now gone without explanation. Inflation? Seems as though there are fewer classes than there once were, but that may be perception rather than reality. I especially miss the "open studio" times that enabled one to come in and "practice one's practice" on one's own schedule. Maybe that was just a covid thing? Regardless, it's something that was once included that is no longer there. There has been a surprising amount of turnover in management, staff, and instructors. Fortunately, the best Inferno Pilates instructor has hung around through this, and the new yoga team is very solid. For the most part, the turnover doesn't necessarily bother me from a practice standpoint, but it does make me wonder why people keep leaving... Finally, there used to be a great end-of-week Friday afternoon 26/2 class -- with music. A fun tradition, and a great way to kick off the weekend. Despite repeated assurances from the owner that it would be reinstated, it hasn't been. Again, schedules and classes change and that's understandable -- it's unkept promises that are concerning. So, it used to rock. It's just ok now...but unless you want a long drive, it's kind of the only game in town. PS -- Their cancellation policy is kind of BS. It's one thing to charge no-shows if a class is full and your no-show keeps someone else out. But with a well-managed wait list (which they have) and classes that usually AREN'T full, charging for cancellations within (what I think is now) 6 hours (used to be 12?) is kind of a lame money grab. Bad karma.

Prior to my first lesson, I had never done Yoga before.

Not only is Essential Evolution a wonderful facility but all the teachers make Yoga approachable as they assure the comfort of all their students. Thank you so much for everything!

Almost 3 years ago, I was recommended by a friend of mine to check out FIT Boutique and immediately decided to purchase a ten-session package - the prices are very fair. The gym was a new environment for me; there was so much to learn, and I was just a beginner. The owner, Jim, made me feel comfortable and welcomed whenever I stepped foot in FIT Boutique, answering any questions I had regarding exercise. As an all-around very friendly and knowledgeable guy, Jim really motivated me to continue pursuing strength and good health for years to come! My goals when signing up included building muscle, endurance, and strength. My trainer, Shane, instituted growth in me through a vast amount of exercises that helped me reach my goals, and after just the first 2 sessions I was beginning to see the results I wanted. Throughout the process, he motivated me to push myself, and also made sure I felt good after each workout. Needless to say, this was a life-changing period of time for me as I gained skills, perfected form, and I continue to learn exercises. I definitely recommend you check out FIT Boutique!

After my first session, the first time working out in way too long, it was difficult pressing the button on my garage door opener. Since then I am no longer destroyed after my sessions, but know that I have had a good workout. Jim, the owner and my trainer has been cool and flexible with my schedule and has provided just the right amount of motivation without making things unpleasant. The price is a bit expensive, but you are paying for good equipment in a convenient location, and one-on-one time with a professional. When I am there, the gym is not crowded and the music has been good. Try it out - as far as I know, the $100 for 8 1 hour personal training sessions is still going.
