The…read moreatmosphere is welcoming, comfortable, and completely free of ego Everyone is friendly, and the trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and focused on helping people succeed. What really sets them apart is how much they genuinely care about their member's health and wellness. The biggest difference for me has been the level of coaching. I deal with back and hip issues and my coach works with me by adjusting exercise so I can continue training safely and effectively. What I appreciate the most is that he doesn't just tell me what to do, he explains why I'm doing it. He takes the time to explain the anatomy behind the movement what muscles we are targeting, and how each exercise supports my overall strength, mobility and long-term health. That level of knowledge and education has helped me feel more confident and invested in my fitness journey. I highly recommend Vigor to anyone looking for expert coaching, a supportive environment, and a team that puts your well-being first!

I went back to Vigor to meet with their athletic trainer Cali for a symptom of "getting old". As…read moresome of us experience, I had the joy of waking up after sleeping and unable to move my neck fully. Even reaching for a cup out of a cabinet made me want to cry. This is when I reached out to see if she could help. When I say she performed a miracle, I am not joking. I went I to Vigor and she took me to a side room where we did cupping. She first analyzed my body and then went to work! I was lucky enough that she was gentle at first and then as soon as the cupping started she stayed true to what needed to be done. I had never had it done before! It felt as if she was pulling my muscles, cracking the fibers and laying them down perfectly. In the end it felt like I had multiple massages at once and my range of motion was better than before. Completely worth my time and the money! Don't sleep on Cali! She is amazing!

Recon is amazing! After reading such positive reviews I tried out a free class here and was…read moreimmediately hooked. All of the coaches and classes here are awesome and each is totally different. On the MMA side of the gym: Rob's MMA striking class is great and he will make you get comfortable in your opposite stance. Henry's submission grappling class is ridiculously fun and he is amazing at helping you jump into something that feels so completely foreign if you're new. Darren could not be more passionate about boxing and is so good about teaching you both the outer AND the inner game of boxing. In the kickboxing class Jon is all about proper technique so he will help you undo all the poor form you didn't even realize you were doing. Matt is a pro Muay Thai fighter who is approachable and a wealth of knowledge. In Jon's MMA striking class you get awesome instruction while doing really fun exercises and he will whip you into shape but with a sense of humor the whole time. On the BoxFit side: Mariel and Lilia lead super creative HIIT circuit classes that will make you sore for days. Mandy is a lovely badass and by the end of one of her intense classes you will be surrounded by a pool of your own sweat. Eric is hilarious and will push you to push yourself! If you spend any time here you'll quickly get a sense that Eric and Mandy work hard to make this feel like a community where everybody is welcome. They do this in terms of offering classes at really affordable prices, but more than that through the way they authentically interact with everyone who walks in the door. I was pretty intimidated about walking into a gym like this for the first time but it feels like an ego-free zone where you get the opportunity to learn new things alongside friendly people. It doesn't hurt that Chris at the front desk is incredibly welcoming and there's usually a sweet lab named Rio waiting to greet you. For first timers: -First class is free! (They have gloves you can use if you're not sure you want to buy them yet) -Don't believe Google maps' lies; the main entrance is off of Bridge St., behind Dunkin Donuts, not off of Bridgton Rd.

It's been a while since I've been to a gym that I actually saw equipment in which I had to figure out what it was so everything here my opinion is very progressive. The only downsides is the classes do fill up quickly, which could be a combination of New Year's resolution, folks and being newer only being all able to offer so many classes.

The fitness factory has everything you would need, from a decent sized cardio area, to free weights…read moreranging up to 150 lbs and even a pair of 195 lb dumbbells, tons of plate and pin loaded machines, and a separate big-boy room for squatting, deadlifting, and Olympic weightlifting. The hardware was a little dated, but that actually adds to the appeal for me. Only two machines were broken and neither one was one-of-a-kind so there were other options. This could be looked at as a pro or a con, but the gym was extremely empty; no more than five or six members there at any given moment. Day pass is $10. Overall, if I lived in the area I would give it a few more chances to see if the atmosphere and clientele picked up at different times/days. Pros: Multiple dumbbell racks so people using 30 lbs or below were in one area, 35 lbs through 80 lbs was a second area, and anything above 80 lbs was a third area. Cons: Some benches were awkwardly placed, up against walls so you could not fit a spotter behind you, or pooled in the middle of the free weights in a hodgepodge of disarray. Only one employee was working, and they were sitting at the front desk, so there was no one on the floor maintaining order and cleanliness. There was only one 90 lb and one 100 lb dumbbell, so unless you're doing single-armed workouts, those two are useless. Dumbbells above 100 lbs go up by 10 lb increments, so you go from 95 lbs to 110 lbs. Music was quiet and not motivational, but most people listen to their own music anyway. No windows in any weight-lifting areas so it felt slightly like a basement, however vaulted ceilings helped. It was slightly warmer than I would've liked.

Jessica has Cardio Tabata class Mondays at 6pm which I would describe as cardio/strength interval training where people rotate between different exercise stations. It is a great workout and keeps your blood pumping and heart rate up throughout the class. On Wednesdays at 6pm, she does a strength bootcamp class which is similar to Mondays class. We use free weights, interval training, "yoga bands" I'm not sure what they're called haha. Classes are a lot of fun and it's a great atmosphere, everyone is really welcoming to newcomers and very friendly. I've only been going for about a month and I can feel myself getting stronger, and I've lost about 10 lbs (I've been eating healthier, too). Jessica is a great instructor, and she also meets with people one-on-one for personal fitness training. At Back Cove they offer other services as well, you can receive individual personal fitness instruction, fitness rehabilitation, senior fitness, metabolic recovery, ski fitness, stroller fitness, and posture alignment (check out their website/facebook page for class schedules). The facility is very clean and well maintained. I definitely recommend the classes. It's a fun time and great workout for all stages of fitness.
