I filled out my online paperwork and went on in. My energy and motivation level is not much but Tyler talked to me got to know what I was looking for and my goals. I let him know my realistic exercise levels and he was more than happy to work w me in those. So we did some exercises and he promised to keep in touch until I have my next appt which I think I am going to schedule in 30 days. I have to say he was great and had me so motivated I even took the dog on a long walk later that night.

While LA does have more to offer, I never felt comfortable working out there. So many lunk heads and judgey stares. From the minute I walked in, I knew it would be a completely different experience. Sean, the assistant manager, knows my name and always smiles and says hello. This goes a long way in my book. At the big box gyms, you're just a face in a million. I always come on my lunch hour to lift and never have issues getting to any piece of equipment. The have a great weight room with a large selection of machines and free weights. The equipment is older and not shiny and new, but it's all functional and safe, so who cares? The cardio selection is decent, lots of treadmills, several ellipticals, lots of bikes and a few stair masters. I can't speak to their classes, I've never taken any. The sauna is nice and hot as hell. Locker rooms are older, but again, functional. All around, this is a highly recommended facility. Speaking as a woman that frequently works out alone, I very much enjoy my time at CTF and look forward to working out now more than ever.

The fast-paced workout was great for targeting different areas of the body and I found was very doable as it changes frequently, as opposed to a typical hot Pilates class when you feel like you can't do another set when there's 15 seconds left. It's a constant movement and I enjoyed that. I also loved that the weights were located at the deck, with ranges of weight depending on how hard you want to push. And there were two types of resistance bands to choose from right there with you. It was easy to hear and see the instructor and she was encouraging throughout. Overall I love how quick the workout was and I truly do feel like it was a whole body workout, and doable for everyone no matter how hard or easy you want to make it for yourself.

In my lifetime, I've had the chance to train with 6 different personal trainers. Access to a few…read morewas a perk at work, one was at the Y when I was working out there. Mike is by far my favorite. I workout with a trainer to make best use of my time, for accountability and the extra push, and for the expert-level knowledge (right exercises, right form, workout plan). My goal is personal fitness: strength, stamina, balance. I measure my results by how I feel running up stairs, working in the yard or after 18 hours on my feet at work. I'm male, 43. Here's what I look for in a trainer: -a challenging and unique workout that maximizes my time -someone who is positive, encouraging and helps motivate me -someone with education, experience and professionalism such that they are able to know me, evaluate my needs and craft a program that is challenging and appropriate -results that include strength, endurance and better daily function -someone who I feel comfortable with, and not judged Mike is fairly priced, easy to work with, down to earth and honestly, the best I've ever trained with.

The Monon Community Center is amazing in so many ways. I love the variety of the gym equipment available, even though I mostly only use the ellipticals.
