I come from a dance/aerial arts background, and I was looking for a strength-focused training program to supplement my dancing that was more affordable than personal-training. As a complete novice to weightlifting and strength training, I joined as a founding member and have been really happy with the membership and my results.
Each day of the week, there is a different focus (strength, cardio, etc.), and each type of focus varies from week to week so you will always be exposed to new movements and exercises. The workouts are great for any level of fitness, as the coaches can modify the movements to make them more accessible or more challenging. The coaches are really encouraging and do a great job of cheering you on, challenging you to push past your comfort zone, and correct your form and spot so you can feel safe and prevent injury. The workouts vary and cater to any goal whether it's to maintain fitness, lose body fat, or gain muscle.
I love the integration of the heart rate monitors available for purchase that gamify the experience so you can compete against others or yourself. They also have an EVOLT 360 Body Composition Scanner so you can track your progress over time and actually measure results. Not only do I look and feel stronger, I have data to prove it. In addition, the 8-week program based model where you have the option to test your strength at the beginning and end is another way to measure results.
The gym itself is clean, and the equipment is well-maintained, with high-powered fans, so it's always a great experience walking in.
The General Manager, Noel is the most genuine and down-to earth leader and makes you feel welcome the second you step in the door. It's clear that he truly cares about members, their lives inside and outside of fitness, and is passionate about inspiring a health-centered lifestyle. This mindset really permeates the team of coaches and has cultivated a community.
Shoutout to the coaches, John, Trystan, Azin, Stephanie, Drisana who regularly coach the noon class who each have a unique way of motivating and connecting to members, making us want to come back each day even when the workouts are tough.
The community is really welcoming as well, so this is great if you are someone who is motivated by partnering up with a gym buddy or want to be part of a community.
Keep up the great work BFT! read more
