Turning Point Fitness completely changed my mind and gave me a passion for Pilates although they do offer other classes. Using a class-pass system is great since you can use them as you need to, it helps when you have a changing schedule.

They also have lots of fun classes like before or after Thanksgiving as well as way to keep you constantly challenged. The studio is very nice, very clean and always lots of fun to go to. In addition, they have an in-house massage therapist who is wonderful. Turning Point Fitness totally changed the way I think about exercise!

I have been an SOSer for 5 years now. Which makes it shocking that I'm just now getting around to…read morewriting review, especially since I'm such a mega-fan! I first heard about SOS from a few folks when I worked at L Brands. They had a few loyal customers with whom I worked. To be honest, I was a little intimidated when I'd see these folks post about their workouts on social media. I had thought about trying it circa 2017, but was too intimidated (my loss!). But in 2019, I ended up with a stress fracture while marathon training. I was able to barely finish my training for the NYC Marathon, which I did successfully complete in November 2019. But at that point, it was evident that I couldn't just keep running marathons without incorporating strength training into my routine. So in Christmas Week 2019, I started with the 7 class starter pack just to try it out. My first class was The Course with Kelsey. I felt comfortable because I knew Kelsey from work and luckily a few other co-workers happened to be in the class as well. I still remember during the warm up, I was thinking "dang this is tough!" And Kelsey even said "Much different than running a marathon, right Chelsea?!" She couldn't have been more spot on! I ended up feeling like the class was super tough but I was paired up with a coworker who was so supportive and kind (thank you, Shideh, if you're reading this!). By the time my 7 class pass was up, I was hooked and became a monthly member. I even joined Team Tread (their half & full marathon training program) in January to start training for the Nashville Half in April 2020. Unfortunately for me, my SOS morning routines were abruptly halted in March 2020. But luckily, my team tread registration got me into the "digital studio" which I had no idea what it was at the time. I very quickly uncovered that it's all the same studio instructors and they have recorded classes with new uploads almost daily as well as a huge library of online classes (which as you can imagine has only grown in the past 5 years). I did what everyone else was doing and immediately ordered as many dumbbells, resistance bands, and other equipment to build up a "home SOS studio" and my equipment has been growing ever since. I moved to Arizona in summer 2021, and have continued to be a dedicated Digital Studio user and advocate. Whenever I come home to Ohio (whether Cbus or Cincy), I get giddy at the thought of going to classes in person and it's a treat to choose which classes I'll take and with which instructors. I got married in June 2024 and I purchased the "Badass Bride" classes on the Digital Studio. As I was taking them and leaving comments the owner, Gretchen, messaged me and said she wanted to send me an SOS wedding gift. You'd never believe how touched I was to see a SOS tank, hoodie, sweat towel and t-shirt show up the week of my wedding. I'm still so honored by these thoughtful gifts. Someone I've never even met in person (which is hard to believe given how obsessed I am with SOS lol!) went out of their way to make my wedding week all the more special. I can honestly say SOS Digital Studio has helped me get in the best shape of my life. I feel like I personally know all of the trainers (I don't have social media anymore, but when I did, I followed all of them, so again, felt like I kew them personally). When I was in Hawaii for my wedding, SO many people were asking me about my arms and complimenting me. I kept trying to tell them about the DS and how special SOS is. I will always be a dedicated and loyal fan. It's become such a part of my routine that I'm on Christas Break now with my husband in Kansas (where he's from) and I've brought my ankle weights, light weights and loop bands just so I can get some classes in. Thank you, Gretchen and team for helping me be the best version of myself every day! Can't imagine what I'd do without the DS and my SOS training crew! (Only word of advice to newbies- the System DOES work! Don't skip out on any classes. As you can imagine, being a marathon runner, I favored all of the cardio classes. But it wasn't until I really started incorporating High & Tight as I prepared for my wedding that I noticed the chiseled arms that I'd always wanted. It's a well-rounded program that works wonders as long as you incorporate ALL of the classes).

Tried out SOS for the first time at a high and tight class. The instructor was upbeat and the space…read moreis really nice! It was my first time there but I got no introduction to the studio or space and didn't feel very welcomed. The class itself was ok - it's under infrared so I got a decent sweat but I'm not sure the workout itself was as hard as my sweat would lead you to believe (no second day soreness). The instructor said it was a old class layout they tried to revamp so I'd be willing to give it another shot but the overall format/moves felt like they were trying to do too much and less cohesive. Four stars mostly based on reputation alone as I've heard great things from others and think it may have been a one off experience.

When I first signed up for a class at 3Minute Fitness, I did not know what to expect. You walk in…read moreand it is a smaller little workout place with grass turf in the middle. I am not going to lie, I felt completely out of place during my first class. Everyone seemed to know what they are doing at each station and the different terminology used. The extremely nice thing is that the instructors go over each station, demonstrate, and tell you how long you are to do things. There are 10 stations and you are at each station for 3 minutes each. There is typically two types of workouts at one station. They can switch every 30 seconds, 2 minutes and 1 minute, or whatever the instructors decide that day. This makes the workout seem much faster! The stations pretty much stay the same: The what I call "fancier" treadmill, kettle bells, rower, Jacob's ladder, TRX, cycling, weights, body weight exercises, and the Dog Sled/ropes. I wish I knew more of the actual terminology of the equipment. It seems to be a rotations of cardio and then weights. Some exercises you do using body weights, such as push ups or burpees. Even though it's only 3 minutes at each station, it is a tough workout and the instructors will absolutely push you! You do get a break in between each station and this time can be used to wipe down the station you were just at. You will warm up and cool down with the instructor and will have music to help motivate you. I typically go during the weekends because those are full body workout days. I have gotten a chance to meet Shannon, Mackenzie, Diana, and Ulli. They all have such a different personality to them which I appreciate. I love Ulli's energy and Diana is hilarious! I would highly suggest 3MF if you want a killer workout! :)

I heard about 3Minute Fitness New Albany from Yelp Elite Lindsay G and her Find Where You Fit…read moregroup. The event she put on there was great. Why? I got out of my comfort zone for 50 minutes and experienced heart pounding workouts. As well as made modifications when I needed to. Just like the previous review, I had tried out all the gyms like Orangetheory, Lifetime Fitness, etc and none really did the job I was looking to get out of a real workout. Fast forward to yesterday, I step foot into 3Minute Fitness see, a bunch of stations and realize, dam I'm going to have my ass kicked here seeing all this equipment. It was certainly the case, 10 stations were put together and each station was 3 minutes hence the name of the place. They definitely kicked this girls butt yesterday! When you get to that point where it's super uncomfortable and you can't go anymore, that's when you know you've had a real workout. I had that here last night. I started on the rowing machine then did body lunges, followed by the hardest thing there the Jacob's ladder which moves only when you do and you have to be strapped to it. From there I moved onto the TRX straps, followed by the bike, weights, ball weights, Rogue equipment you push down the field and back, treadmill controlled by your movement alone and finally kettle bell's. Whew, that was a mother load of a workout! I probably missed a few little things but as you can tell I'm still sore from yesterday as I type this review! 3Minute Fitness, you definitely impressed this girl with your fitness classes! I love when I get the best workout that not only makes me feel better, but changes my whole day from a bad day to the best day of my life from sweating and working as hard as I knew I did!

So as a courtesy as we wait we were lucky enough to attend this second class just the other day. The first class we did was a 30 min pilates class, this time we did a 30 min yoga class. There are so many aspects we like about Hotworx. Working out in your own private sauna is so calming. Controlling not only the heat but the lightening and sound too. The virtual instructors really do keep you motivated throughout the challenging workout. We find they are really helpful in keeping you going through the hot, tough session. After both sessions we are dripping with sweat, but our muscles feel alive and exhausted. We make sure to try to hydrate well after each session. Completing a workout at Hotworx feels like an accomplishment. You should try it out sometime for yourself.

I think they are $7 as a drop it, and it is a full hour of fun dancing and moving. It is truly a workout, and though there are many regulars who know all the moves, there are plenty of people who are there for the first time and just follow the instructor and everyone else. The space is really nice and the people there were all extremely friendly!

I cannot tell you how much I love this gym. First - let me extol the virtues of my pt Dustin Kelch…read more Dustin is a fabulous trainer - super thoughtful, smart, creative! I came to him with knee problems and some other strain that previous trainers seemed to ignore. Since working with Dustin I haven't had a single knee flare up, and my legs are a lot stronger! Plus my overall fitness has quite improved and Dustin has helped me with my overall wellness. But Dustin (and the other staff who are friendly and totally awesome) aside - I really love this place because it's diverse. A typical morning includes new parents with their kids in car carriers, older women lifting weights and practicing balance, boxers, marathoners, teens, even kids with special needs. Everyone fits in here. The place is basic but totally efficient and has better equipment than the rpac at Osu. The sweat box is fantastic and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It's a true place of wellness.

In order to get back to the level of overall fitness and activity I was used to and achieve new goals, I needed someone who was energetic, motivating and supportive! I was also looking for someone who modeled the services they provide yet, could meet me at my level to start and encourage me even when I am not confident in own ability. I found all of that with Latanya and FFF, whose focus is women over 40, but open to anyone who wants to improve their fitness. The one-on-one weight training, small group workouts and Saturday morning cardio sets are fun even when they are no nonsense and push you. I still have a long way to go, but because of Latanya's expertise and coaching, I already have improvement in my endurance and strength as well as in my body tone, and muscle definition. She also offers nutritional counseling. I highly recommend Latanya and the new fitness center she will soon be opening.

This is an incredible gym! Their workouts will get you the results you need in the most efficient…read moreway. To start, you'll tell the trainers what your goals are (they're very goal oriented here). They'll then direct you based off of your fitness level and goals. There are 12 stations total and each station has 3 different levels. You'll follow the same level through all 10 stations. The first station is warm-up, then you jump into 2-5 which are HIIT (cardio). Then 6-10 are more muscle-focused exercises. Each station lasts 2 minutes 30 seconds and then you get a 30 minute break. The best part? You're done in 30 minutes. Also, each round goes by so quickly that you're not thinking about the pain or when the time will run out. It's efficient but great enough to help you feel the burn the next day. I was told that you really only need to come in twice each week for this workout - it's that effective. The place is smaller but it doesn't feel cramped. Only one person can be at a station at a time. I've really enjoyed the different trainers I've worked with and I can't wait to enjoy my next workout! P.S. This place is tucked away in the corner of a plaza with plenty of free parking!

It is so hard to join here! First I called to ask about getting a membership, and they told me to…read morestop by. So I stopped by, and they told me to call. I finally started with one of their 6-week intensive programs. The classes are mostly really good. Kat is a great instructor, and Carly is also helpful, but another instructor who has since left did not share form or really demo much at all. The 6-week program had a reward of a travel voucher, and I did all the classes without missing, plus I checked in weekly on their fat measurement machine, and I didn't get the prize. I'm not sure exactly why that was, but I figured I still wanted to get healthier even without the prize. A year later, I keep finding out what exactly my membership entails. For example apparently I could have had one on one coaching sessions. That's never presented to you at the start. I had to ultimately join through an email exchange even after the 6-week program. It's a really well laid out gym, and the prices are super fair. A friend who joined as a guest told me these classes are a lot like cross fit but a little less intense. That was what he told me about the large group class he tried. I think it's a good spot either for classes or to do your own lifts or cardio, and it's never too busy. So in the end if you stay persistent, and chase down the owner/staff to get registered, you can have a great gym membership!
