The trainers are very clear about the movements of the daily workout, the proper form needed to execute the moves safely, and the methods MADabolic uses for keeping the class organized. MADabolic is an intense workout, but one that is great for all skill levels. Whether you're trying to get into fitness, or trying to refine your physique, MADabolic is a great place to accomplish goals. It is very nice to have talented trainers that shape the workouts, so that I don't have to wander around a jungle of weight machines, wondering what you should do next. I recommend coming by and trying the 10 days for $10 package. You can see a variety of workouts, meet the trainers, and see if it is the right fit for you.

I first connected with Tajia because I have had some repeated injuries due to hypermobility and had…read morebeen advised by my doctor that I compensate for a lack of strength with flexibility, which was causing the issues. Building strength and learning how to activate muscles before using them has helped protect problem joints. Since starting training, I've had fewer injuries, and I have more energy in my daily life. Working with Taija has challenged my preconceptions of training! It is refreshing to be in a training environment without pressure to have a goal like weight loss or a specific look. Our focus of "a stronger, less-injury-prone version of myself" helps reduce the stress of expectations. It is such a wonderful change to be focused on doing something good for my body, rather than trying to impose my will on it. Since training with Taija, instead of feeling bad when I am struggling in a workout or disappointed because I 'should' be able to do something, I have learned a more positive kind of self-talk. It started simple with a little cheer to push myself a bit further, but it got more encouraging over time. This positivity has moved outside of Taija's studio, too! I strongly recommend working with Taija to anyone considering a trainer!

Being a perimenopausal woman, I had heard how important strength training was, but had been hesitant to get started because I was afraid of my chronic pain issues flaring up. Taija has so much knowledge about chronic pain and has given me techniques to try that have been super helpful. I feel so empowered, knowing I'm doing something to create a healthier, stronger me, and I'm in way less pain. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

From free weights and kettle bells to Woodway curve trainers and suspension trainers, the gym houses brand new, state of the art equipment. UF offers high intensity workouts and strength training in a group setting. Classes are extremely fast paced but modified for all levels. The gym is relatively small, but there is no lack of space when you're working out. The group fitness classes are perfectly structured so that you're a bit constantly bumping into everyone. Stephanie, the main instructor, is fantastic. She pushes you to work hard and makes sure you have good form to prevent injury. They also donate money to a local nonprofit... how's cool is that??? All I can say is that it's about time Asheville got a community-oriented gym like this. After doing my first two classes free (which they offer to everyone if I'm not mistaken) I've already purchased an unlimited month membership. I can't recommend this place enough.... Dont hesitate to give it a try. Whether you're in shape or haven't worked out in years, UF will give you an EXCELLENT workout.

This is a really nice gym that is less than a mile from I-40. Wish I had realized that earlier. I…read morewould have been stopping in more often on my way to Cherokee. The staff here is friendly, everything is super clean, and like most PFs, there is a ton of equipment. Aside from one thing! They only have four Smith machines. When I arrived, they were all taken. When one opened up, a couple hopped on it in an instant. If you're strength training, you need Smith machines and dumbbells. The dumbbell area is also a little smaller than most. Despite all that, this is still a great gym and highly recommended. And if you're just looking to maintain and stay fit and do cardio, you will love it.

I was intrigued by the offer on the ad for a boot camp type work out. Located on Riverside Drive, you might miss them if you don't look carefully, but once you find them I think you'll be happy. The staff is uber friendly and helpful and the programs are very good - group as well as personal type training. We did a month program which was great, but in the end we decided to to another round of p90x, which isn't any reflection upon the gym.....just not the right time or in our budget at that moment.

I had no problems with membership contracts. It's month-to-month and I went to the membership desk…read moreto quit and the person just finished out the month. I absolutely loved the CrossFit-like training that you get with the highest membership category. The trainers are hilarious (super knowledgeable), the people you work out with a generally smart/crazy (and I loved every bit of it), and your burn your calories in this big open space that is perfect for the music they play. The facility equipment is top-notch. What I absolutely hated was that you could not use the space unless there was a CrossFit class that occurred. I was a kid in the candy shop since there's a window. You wonder why you're not in there and its because of corporate policy. They should have resolved it by having many more CrossFit classes in the space (but they choose not to pursue that recommendation). The other part that I hated was the men's bathroom often smelled either musty or chemically. They could never figure out the right balance so I just got in and out to head home and washed up. I moved to Arden but I would have kept the membership if I stayed closer to Asheville. CrossFit at this location was the reason to join.

This franchise uses a third party billing system called peak payment solutions to extract money…read morefrom their members. Even if you are not under any sort of contract or commitment they will not allow you to cancel your membership directly. You are instead instructed to address it with the billing company. This makes it next to impossible to cancel the membership, so your only course of action is to simply stop paying them. Then Peak payment solutions will immediately start charging you late fees and will start threatening collections and calling relentlessly within a week of a missed payment. It is illegal to try to extort payment out of people, who are under zero contractual commitment to pay you, by threatening collection.
