It has honestly taken me a minute to find a solid workout community I wanted to be a part of since moving out here. Committing to just one gym is difficult when each person goes through their productive, creative, or hibernation periods. I've wanted a place that made me look forward to going and not finding reasons to skip out. After some time with ClassPass, a 45-day workout challenge and a dozen-full of memorable buddy pass classes later, I finally made a decision I've been happy with since. Basecamp for the win. Love their lower to upper to full body workout schedule, the alternation between cardio and strength, the change/rotation of class layouts, their equipment, and of course, the instructors and team themselves. Special appreciation for the 9am goers because they became a solid community for me when I was going through some post-grad life transitions and turbulence. Somehow, when I was considering what to properly invest in while sacrificing to save money from other things, this was a good alternative investment that has sparked back some love for workout classes again. Well-deserved shout outs to Coaches Nick, Jacqueline, and Oliver and the front desk team. If you're looking for a motivating space, it's a good place for a comeback and a fresh start. Yes, I'm talking to you "New Year, New Me'rs". The time is right around the corner and I promise it's a sweet compliment to the place. read more

First time trying a workout class and it was pretty fun! It was a little confusing at first with the 3 different groups switching from the bikes to the floor and back to the bikes. But once we got the hang of it, it was a great routine. The instructor was enthusiastic and I learned some new workouts as well! The gym is very clean and equipment very well taken care of. I parked on the street which can be a bit difficult depending when you come. At 7pm, I found one free pretty close by. Would highly recommend checking out this gym if you're looking to signup for classes! read more

I used to be a avid basecamper pre-pandemic and just came back last month to give it a try again. I was looking for a gym close to my office where I can sneak away on my lunch to workout. I forgot how much I LOVED it here, a good mix of weights, cardio, and core in less than a hour. I was all about Jayens noon class, loved his vibe! Also, two women's showers with a good sized changing area. read more

Basecamp is seriously one of my favorite places to work out. The energy is always amazing and I love how it gives me a break from the mental load of the day. It's a fun and challenging workout that always leaves me feeling better (physically and mentally)! All the instructors are great, but I have to give a shoutout to Matt he's super helpful and always checks to make sure my form is on point. If you're dealing with an injury or need modifications, they'll work with you and adjust things so you can still get a solid workout. Also, the front desk crew is the amazing as well especially Natalie, Chris and Rebecca. They really make the space feel like a little community. I highly recommend checking it out if you're looking for a place that's motivating, supportive and actually fun. read more

Arrived when class had begun and someone else was on my assigned bike. Asked the Studio Manager, Tai, if she could assist by letting the man know and she agreed she could. After a few minutes she didn't do anything so I asked her again but instead she told me that I could either deal with it myself or leave the studio. I just wanted to not share a bike if possible - it was not a full class - and wanted her help as an employee to either reassign myself or let her other client know to move. For some reason, this got so elevated so quickly that I was told to leave the studio even though I paid for the class and I clearly wanted to attend. I don't know if my accent threw her off or she was having a hard morning, but she then decided to call the police. This feels crazy - what did I do to require armed police men to arrive? When they did come, she waved them off. What a waste of their time! I'm shocked at what happened not only because this type of gaslighting has never happened to me but also because myself and friends have enjoyed attending classes here. In a world where things seem to always be on the verge of boiling, Basecamp has felt like a safe and fun place to work out. Majorly disappointed and saddened by this experience. We are definitely not planing to come back. read more

Back in mid-July 2023, I attended a Yelp event held at Basecamp Fitness in Pasadena. After the event, Basecamp offered free classes for the rest of July to all the 626 Yelpies who attended... sweet! So I took advantage of the offer and attended both Saturdays and Sundays through the end of July. I am grateful I got a chance to try out their classes primarily for core/cardio, full body, upper body, and lower body that runs about 45 mins in the form of 1 min intervals routine on the floor and rotating back to the bike for X number of rounds. At the end, there is a 10 mins core wind down period before class is concluded. Believe me... you're not going to get bored and the class goes by really fast. This is my first time experiencing such a workout regimen. It's making me sweat a lot and I love it LOL. Kid you not, I think I lost 2 lbs after my first class LOL. Playhouse Plaza has parking which is next to Basecamp (they validate 75 mins parking... nice!). After a great workout, you may walk around town and check out the great shopping and dining options on Colorado Blvd that happens to be conveniently located about one block north of Basecamp. How cool is that! Entire staff is friendly, pleasant, and wonderful. Training instructors are fantastic all around... they provide great inspiration and motivation to their members. It did not take me long to get into the program. I ended up joining as a member, but since I live a distance, I can only attend mostly weekend classes. Hence, I opted for the 4 times per month to month package. They had a special for the 626 Yelpies so I jumped on it! I look forward to a healthier and better fit me in the months and years to come. Thank you so much Basecamp for your awe-inspiring crew and fun & fulfilling workout classes! P.S. If you haven't tried Basecamp, don't think about it, just give them a try to see if it's for you. They do offer a free trial class... just ask! read more

Thanks to a Yelp special, I was able to try out their classes. After going to a few Basecamp classes, I decided to join. Their workouts are great. It's a HIIT style with you rotating between the assault bike and exercises for 1 min intervals for 30 rounds. The staff and instructors are great! It's a nice add in to my routine. Parking is also really easy. I highly recommend! read more

If you're looking for a fitness family or community, Basecamp Fitness is the one for you! I recently returned to Basecamp Fitness (my second time) after moving back to LA. The last time I was at this location was over 3 years ago! The workers here were SUPER friendly and nice. They walked me through the machines, how the fitness cycles ran, the overall process, and where everything was, and they assured me that they were open if I had any questions. The class itself was really fun! I love how they do 30 segments that juggles between cardio and strength training. It keeps it exciting and ensures you're not bored or overly exhausted by one exercise. I'm just OK sore after my workout, but not super sore. I wish I would've gotten a slightly more intense workout, but I appreciate moving around nonetheless. They have a bathroom with showers, cubbies to store your things, and parking in the parking garage is VALIDATED for 90 minutes (that's so awesome). There's also plenty of street parking (some are metered, but most of them have time restrictions). The actual workout might not be for everyone, but the kindness of the staff and people who come here will definitely make you want to come back! read more

Im so happy I join basecamp. When I did my first 2week session it was hard because of the drive and work schedule. This time I am able to make time for myself. Joining the basecamp is not just about being physically fit, having a good body, and sweating out all the fats but it also helps me mentally and emotionally. This place has helped me to relieve the stress in my life. If you want to change your daily routine, join basecamp. You can take out your anger through riding the bikes, sweat out all the stress, and listen to your coach that says "YOU CAN DO IT!! REFUSE TO GIVE UP!" Niko thank you for welcoming me, for being friendly, and lastly thank you for the good promo deal. THANK YOU TO ALLLLLLLLLLLL THE INSTRUCTORS/COACHES!! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING, VERY NICE AND CARING! read more

Basecamp Fitness - Pasadena - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Pasadena, California

While the staff and trainers were very friendly, I ultimately decided to cancel my membership. The structure of the class involved rotating between the stationary bike and various workout stations, which required navigating through a crowd of participants which took mental effort every time to not crash into someone. This constant back-and-forth became frustrating, especially when returning to a sweaty bike that had just been used by someone else. On top of that, the noticeable dust in the corners and crevices of the gym created an unclean environment that was hard to ignore during workouts. read more

Located across Pasadena Playhouse, Basecamp Fitness is one of the many boutique gyms around town that offer a roughly 50-minute workout. In a nutshell, the usual setup includes floor exercises with an assortment of equipment such as free weights, TRX, medicine balls, Bosu balls, agility ladders, and plyo boxes, depending on the day. These exercises are staggered with sprints on your assigned stationary bike, allowing you to either maintain your heart rate or take a quick breather. TV screens up above provide instruction on your current station and next station as well as what are essentially GIFs of the exercises for you to emulate. At the end of the regular class, some instructors lead you through additional movements such as burpees, wall sits, planks, and other core strengthening exercises, while others lead you through a cooldown stretch. All while the playlist of the day is blasting away. I decided to join after attending their Yelp's Fit Club event back in mid-July. As part of the cohort, the rest of the month was free of charge which didn't hurt. Their price model has memberships from 1-class/week to unlimited. Since I was preparing for a Spartan Beast, I justified going unlimited to the tune of $180/month. From August to mid-October, I would mix between the 7am class and afternoon class at 5:15pm, sometimes both on the same day. To some that may seem like much, but I noticed other familiar faces that doubled, if not tripled, their daily attendance. Parking is plentiful in the mornings with validation inside the structure and ample street parking. It's another story in the afternoons in the hustle and bustle of Pasadena. Not sure if they penalize for being late, but no-shows and late cancels (less than 8 hours before class starts) incur a $10 charge. On the subject of my fellow classmates, the very nature of the class setting shuffling between stations and watching the interval clock tick down made it feel difficult to get to know them. Gradually I had a few chances to talk to some folks post-workout, and over time we would support one another with fist bumps and a knowing nod. The instructors are all dynamic and supportive in their own way, and after a while I got used to their energies and go-to phrases. But what sets this establishment apart from the rest of the competition, you ask? Occasionally there were biking fundraisers, educational seminars from local businesses, and a Summer Sizzle challenge. For purely breaking a sweat and getting a pump, that might be all you need. I felt they could have added more creativity throughout each week to make the workout more fun. Based on attendance, there are T-shirts given out for each milestone, such as attending 100 classes. I saw someone wearing a 1000 class shirt, which impressed me to no end. Well, I made the push for that 100th class...and somehow they forgot. This doesn't happen too often, since the celebrations for milestone T-shirts happen fairly often, usually with fanfare from instructors and obligatory clapping from everyone else. In my experience, I had to ask the front desk. Turned out I had already taken 102 classes! If that's not extra credit, I don't know what is. After my Spartan Beast, I decided to cancel since I was going to be out of town for at least a month. Don't be like me and not know that you need to give an advanced notice of 5 days before your next pay cycle. Their system doesn't allow for quick changes to your membership, for some reason. All in all, a good experience. Just remember to stay informed. read more

I had SUCHH an amazing experience at Basecamp in Pasadena! First of all, you feel soo incredibly welcomed and loved from the moment you walk through the door until stepping foot out. I signed up for a morning Tuesday Lower body session with Nick and he was AMAZING! I was also helped at the front by Annora and Kiara, who were both the sweetest, kindest people ever. They helped me get set up with my app/showed me where to sign up for future classes and oriented me to the process of each class. I was definitely excited but nervous since I had never been to a Basecamp class before, but felt so comfortable after their help. Each class is approximately 40-45 minutes long and every day is a different body part so coming every day of the week is always different! I love the variety of different exercises which keeps things interesting, challenges so many different body parts and makes the workout (as difficult as it is!) go by sooo fast! I loved the vibes, music and supportive workout environment. They offer parking validation so park in the garage below and they will take care of you. The facility has a bathroom with shower + soap, you name it! Anything you need, they take care of you so well here! I will DEFINITELY be coming back! read more

I am so grateful to have the opportunity to attend Basecamp Fitness classes in the Pasadena location. From Day 1 Kiara and Niko were my champions and helped me get acclimated into the classes I always felt supported by them! I have a good amount of fitness training of all types under my belt but this was a great breath of fresh air from what I am used to. The minute rounds consist of light or body weight strength exercises rotating with a minute of the attack bike. It's a quick but powerful classes left me tired but energized for the rest of the day and I couldn't wait to come back the next day. I hope the complimentary parking vouchers continue to stay available members because staying to socialize and going over time can add up. Basecamp was welcoming to everyone no matter the experience level or anything else and I truly appreciated that culture. This is an awesome club! read more

Okay need to update. So I downgraded my membership and got double charges by basecamp for both my new and old levels. Called, and they said they'd fix it right up and call me back later that day. I had to call back and talk to someone, and was again assured it would be fixed and refunded. Well, here we are two weeks later....and nothing has been refunded. I had to call again today and was assured someone would fix it and call me back. They also offered to just credit my account. With the money, which normally I would be fine with, but because of how this has gone, I don't trust that it would be credited correctly...hopefully this works out today... Okay refund has finally been issued...so hopefully it's off my card soon. UPDATE: All fixed!! read more

I spent about a decade telling myself "this year is the year I become more active and exercise". Basecamp is quite literally the only exercise option that has worked for me. I've tried personal training, all the different stand alone gyms, but Basecamp is it for me. My favorite coaches are Stephanie, Brandon, and Matt! I have some physical limitations and each of them are so kind and take extra care to ensure I modify the exercises that may cause me issues. I really don't think I'd exercise if it wasn't for Basecamp, which has totally changed my life. the front desk staff are also the absolute best! read more

Basecamp by far has been one of the best investments I have made in my health this past year. I have tried doing regular gym memberships in the past and trying to self-learn different workouts with weights, but it has always been hard to self motivate myself or to even know if I'm doing the exercises correctly. I've always been interested in high-intensity workouts (HIT), but it seemed daunting to try to learn it myself. When I found out that Basecamp specialized in these types of workouts, I knew I had to try it out. Each class is about 40-45 minutes long, with each day focusing on a specific body area (I.e. upper body, lower body, core, etc). You'll be split in groups when you first enter either being on the floor doing workouts with weights, TRX, or just specific body movements, or on the bike doing cardio, each usually being 60 seconds long for 30 minutes. Afterwards, the last 10 minutes is focused on core workouts on the floor all together as a group. This specific format works well for me since I enjoyed the short but intense format. It's so easy and convenient to slot in a class whenever I have a free hour. I also love the trainers who are constantly motivating you and making sure you're doing all the workouts in proper form. The first couple of classes felt especially tiring, but it felt motivating to visibly see and physically feel the progress and endurance I gained with each class. PARKING: there is an underground lot that is shared with the local office buildings and Playhouse. At the end of your class, you can pick up a validated ticket that is good for 90 minutes (make sure not to lose your original ticket since you'll need to insert that into the machine first!) Overall: basecamp is such a unique experience and a must try for anybody interested in short, but productive, work outs read more

If you're looking for a great workout with amazing coaches, then you need to try your free first class with Basecamp Fitness. It's 35 minutes of HIIT workout and then 10 minutes of either abs, cardio, and/or stretching. I've been coming to Basecamp Fitness for about 8 months and I absolutely love it. I come in, do my workout, and I am drenched in sweat afterwards (that's how you know you had a good workout). Every day is a different workout: upper body, lower body, full body, and cardio (rotating on different days). The members there are awesome too - it's so motivating! read more

Ah, Basecamp Fitness, where my once-jointed limbs go to have a good laugh. My doctor recommended fitness, and I made a huge mistake trying this place. I lasted 5 minutes. Here are my thiughts on the place. The rhythmic pounding of both my heart and the music was reminiscent of my time in the Roaring Twenties(kidding). The trainers, bless their energetic souls, they make me feel like I'm attending a pep rally instead of trying not to break a hip. The music, my dear friend, the music is a masterpiece of modern beats and electronic cacophony that would make Mozart turn in his grave. Let's not forget the camaraderie. The fellow workout enthusiasts, all half my age, talking about their twitters and tinders. In conclusion, if you're seeking an experience that's equal parts physical torture and time travel to a parallel universe where exercise resembles interpretive dance, Basecamp Fitness is your sanctuary. read more

Who knew I would love strength training so much?! Basecamp has been incredibly welcoming, fun and friendly. Modifications are shown and encouraged, camaraderie with classmates is fostered and lightheartedness and encouragement is woven throughout the workouts. Time flies and I crush hundreds of calories in 45 minutes. Super positive experience as I get stronger and fitter. read more

Basecamp Fitness - Pasadena - Post work out endorphins! - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Pasadena, California

Came here thanks to Yelp Fit club on Aug 10. The studio gave all attendees rest of the month free (which is amazing!!), so I came back for a total of 16 more classes. I am a fitness enthusiast and always looking for new studios or routines to spice up my workouts, and Basecamp Fitness exceeded all expectations in that regard. Every day is a different workout with a different focus, so you get to functionally train different muscle groups. The greatest part is that it's 35 min long (+10 more min for abs) - there's absolutely no excuse! At the end of my month, I mentally felt stronger, and was pretty happy with that. Format: Sign in on an iPad. The class is set up with generally 1 min of cardio (assault bike), 10 seconds to transition, then 1 min of functional training. Rinse and repeat. You usually are in a group of 4. Max per class around be around 32 people, for a total of 4 stations, with 8 people in each general group, 4 in each sub group. I appreciated how there were screens that demonstrated the moves constantly, so not only can you look up to adjust your moves, you can also look ahead to prepare mentally the upcoming moves. Instructors: I took classes with Brandon, Max, Matt, Katie, and Aubrey. They were all energizing, encouraging, giving everyone high fives or shouting out motivational messages. They try to come around to adjust your posture if the class isn't too large, or to make modifications. They also make it a point to demonstrate each move before the actual rotation, which I appreciate. Community: I was only there for less than 1 month, but I saw that for the regular members, there was a sense of camaraderie amongst the members and also with the instructors as well. The front desk staff were always so friendly and inviting once you enter, so you automatically feel welcome. No judgement zone- everyone there doing their thing and focusing on improving their own health and meet their goals. Facility: Extremely clean and well-stocked. The showers had good shower pressure, with shampoo, conditioner, and soap. They provide towels as well. Hours: Lots of classes to choose from, so it can work with almost any schedule. The earliest class I have taken was a 5AM, the latest at 8:15P, and regardless of time of day, you always get the same energy and enthusiasm from the instructors. Parking: free 90 min validated parking in the Playhouse garage located right downstairs. Why I didn't pursue a membership mostly came down to the price. Other Yelpers have mentioned it before. It is expensive, and it frankly isn't in my budget currently. From the email they sent me, 219.99 for unlimited classes/month, 179.99 for 8 classes/month, and 99.99 for 4 classes/month. If you have the buget and looking for a great gym to join, I would highly recommend Basecamp! read more

Basecamp Fitness - Pasadena - Still smiling after a grueling workout! - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Pasadena, California

Thank you Margaret and Basecamp for offering us the free 2 week session! I attended the full body class. I DO NOT REGULARLY WORKOUT, so I was a little scared. But the staff was so welcoming and friendly. Niko was friendly and welcoming. The trainer was awesome (I don't recall his name), but he was patient but also challenged me. This intense 35 minute workout session is NO JOKE! For me, because I haven't worked out like this ever (I'm a walk around a couple blocks kinda gal) , this work out kicked my butt! But hey I lasted and stayed as long as my body would allow me to, before feeling faint. It is intense!! The 35 minute workout is broken down in 1 minute intervals- you go from cycling for 1 minute to moving on the floor with a kettle ball for 1 minute, then lifting weights, and back to the bike- all in one minute intervals. So this kind of workout shocks the body and is proven to be effective. This was a great experience, but for me I need a few classes on a stationary bike workout before I can do another full body session. And Niko kindly offered the bike option for me, and that's very accommodating and helpful! The crew is awesome! Workout is intense! Definitely recommend to anyone who like the challenge and is looking for a new type of workout! read more

I love the basecamp family! They have a great and encouraging environment for the class. It's a cool concept- 1-1.5 min cycling and 1-1.5 min HIIT workout in repeating alternating pattern. Your 35 minutes workout breezes by. They assault bike gets harder as you try harder so you will always be challenging yourself! After the bike/HIIT- you get a quick core workout! Parking is available on el Molino in the garage for 75 min. Overall, it's super fun and the teachers are great! Occasionally you get a shirt for your biking distance too! read more

Basecamp has the best instructors! They motivate you to do your best and they're always high energy and funny. I like how they have different classes throughout the week that focus on core, cardio, upper body, lower body, and full body. I'm seeing my results as I have gained muscle and become more lean. I recently finished the Summer Sizzle Challenge where you are to complete 15 classes within 21 days. It was so much fun! Plus, they give you an incentive. They offer fun challenges like this throughout the year. Basecamp has multiple 45 minute classes throughout the day that start as early as 6:00 AM and as late as 6:15 PM. There is 1 hour street parking on El Molino and Green street. They also validate garage parking. Their bathrooms are clean and although I haven't used their showers, they look clean as well. read more

Tried this place out for the first time and I was definitely happy. I normally workout on my own and do my own strength training or cardio. My lady loves to come here and I finally decided to join her to try it out. I consider myself pretty athletic and have tried to stay active over the years. I took the lower body class and I can tell you be the end I loved it. I left with a good feeling of having a great work out and even felt that good jello leg feeling knowing all muscles were worked out well. I am definitely going to be signing up soon to add this to my workout regiment. read more

Took a free class in boxing with Matt and I got a great workout in less than 1 hour! I was looking to change it up a bit from my crossfit and yoga classes and found pretty good ratings for BCF. The staff and instructors here are SO. FRIENDLY. and engaging. I exchanged emails with Rebecca and she set me up for my first class. She showed me a bit of their facility and was able to wrap me up for class. For the workout, I started on the bikes (that are reserved with your name on it) and switched off to the mat every minute or so. I really appreciated the TV screens that showed the moves you were supposed to be doing if you forget or didn't hear clearly. Matt also walked around with his protection gear to practice our punches on him. Amenities: There are two showers with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. A few long lockers (like from high school) to put your items away if you don't want to leave it at the front (no locks provided). Towels for your workout and for your shower. Parking: They have a parking garage below them and have parking validations out for you when you're ready to leave. There is also 1 hour street parking available. Overall, you don't have an excuse for not being able to fit a workout in since these classes are less than 1 hour. I would totally recommend trying out one of their free classes...nothing to lose except for some calories ! :D read more

I started going to Basecamp 8 months ago and within the first few months saw changes in my body that I never imagined would take place and it all it takes is the discipline to go a few times a week. The instructors are incredibly trained and watch each participant in the class to make sure that we always do the exercises correctly. I have NEVER hurt myself and I go 5x a week when in town. I have never felt or looked better physically and have more energy than I did 20 years ago! I am 63 years old and was told I now have the physical energy and fitness level of a 25 year old!

This review was started in Dec, before the pandemic..wishing I had taken advantage of my time and showed up for a few classes before everything was shut down. Once businesses are safely opened, I will be attending several classes. For now, please give them a follow on Instagram as they are offering a multitude of online instruction. -Located just east of Old Town Pasadena. Basecamp is tucked away in a small plaza on El Molino, south of Colorado Blvd. My now 4th (including off site) workouts, but my 2nd BaseCamp on-site workout. The 1st at this location. Came in as part of the New Year's Race collaboration. Myself and the other race ambassadors promoted the event prior to. The studio was reserved for us and anyone who wanted to join. Coach Nick is great. High energy. Positive and enthusiast. A geniune eagerness to work with you. His workout kicked our asses. Love a good challenge and a good sweat session. The other staff members were just as inviting. The space is very open, unlike some gyms that can feel crowded because the quantity and flow of the equipment is overwhelming. And did I mention they will validate parking?! A huge plus for the Pasadena parking situation. Looking to be motivated? Basecamp is the place for you. read more

Decided to try this and found it is a great gym! The format keeps things new and interesting with a lot of variety. I like how you can track the workout and know what is next with the screens. Stephanie does a fantastic job giving us that positive energy and enthusiasm to pull deep when tired. Nico was super helpful in understanding how to make it work with my schedule and budget. And I love how they have a parking option, which is difficult in that part of Pasadena. Definitely recommend. Great energy. read more

Let me start by saying that I'm not a gym person, my idea of exercise is walking around the rose bowl or hiking with my dogs all over LA. I did the fit yelp elite event at basecamp and was hooked. I took a bunch of classes with Brandon, Matt, Max, Aubrey and Katie and loved all the instructors and the format of the gym/classes...so much so that I have now signed up for the entire year! Pros: 1. awesome energy of the instructors and I love that no one is intimidating to newbies like me. I especially love Brandon's classes (the music rocks in his classes and he is super nice and funny!) I love the boxing classes...so much fun! 2. Free 90 min parking 3. Super friendly front office people (special shout out to Rachel and Jeff!), I love that everyone has a smile here. 4. The format of the classes is really awesome..you get in, you work out with the group and it's fast and pretty effective. I've taken classes at 8 am on sundays (in spite of not being a morning person) and as late as 8:15 pm on weekdays and they always leave me energized. Cons: I only see one con..it is expensive. I'm an economist so joining for a year made more sense in terms of numbers/math than signing for individual classes. They do have group of classes but if you like the gym and the format which I do, makes more sense to join yearly. Overall, I love coming here...here's to getting fit thanks to Yelp! read more

I took a first free class back in August at Basecamp Fitness, and I was absolutely amazed :D !! It was a huge morning class. But nevertheless, our instructor, Stephanie Blase, was phenomenal and she really knew how to lead everyone in their respective exercises! Embarassingly, since I haven't worked out in years, I was SO out of shape!! But when I checked in at the front desk, Christie and her staff members were super nice and friendly, and assured me that I would be ok! Ever since, I have taken 2 classes with Nick Andrade, who is also an awesome instructor :D !! And today, I took another class with Stephanie again :) !! Today was my first threshold class, and it was so helpful to know where I currently am at in terms of my ability to carry out certain exercises! For my first class, I loved how we alternated between cycling on the bike, and doing barbell and dumbbell exercises, push-ups, and stretching exercises! It felt like a boot camp, but a nice and encouraging one with a lot of highly qualified staff to assist everyone :) ! I have started gaining weight in my belly, and I knew I had to do something about it! So I decided to try this place out! And it certainly did not disappoint! I signed up for their Limited Hike membership (which is 4 classes for about $100). I know that I really need to get in shape again! And the only way to do this is to come to these classes, and be pushed to do these exercises! Otherwise, quite frankly, I probably would not do them on my own! read more

Honestly cannot say enough good things about this place. I've been coming here for about 3 months and I feel STRONG. There really isn't a reason not to work out when the classes are only 35 minute long. The instructors are friendly and the classes are always different. I tried to start off easy and test taking 8 classes a month but I loved all of the classes so I ended up bumping my plan to the unlimited. The plans are expensive so just commit to unlimited and go everyday to get the most out of your money ;) read more
