I would not pay $55 a month for access to cardio machines and a weight room that only comes with dumb bells, a handful of kettlebells, and TRX straps. It was awkward when I was said, "oh, heh, heh, I guess you guys don't have barbells and stuff"; doubly more so when the trainer who was giving me the tour kind of said something about the "modern trend" being functional fitness, which is why they didn't have those things. Pshh. If I wanted to partake in "modern trends" I would go to a trendy exercise class, not to the weight room of a gym, where one expects to be able to lift heavy things.

Having worked with several different sports therapists throughout my college athletics career, I…read morecan confidently say that Brian is one of the best I have met. I was referred to On Track for a lingering shoulder issue, and Brian was able to quickly assess the problems and make a plan. In a little less than two months, my shoulder has shown remarkable improvement, and Brian has also started to help me become aware of and fix some of my other mechanical deficiencies. In my opinion, the best part about Brian's approach is that he really breaks things down to find the root cause of the problem. In my case it was a lack of core stability and postural awareness, so we worked on loosening up the affected area with massage therapy, and building strength and proprioception through various exercises, many of which were new to me. Brian is also really good about being attentive throughout the session - he literally watches every single rep you do and makes sure your posture and form are correct. This is extremely helpful if you are trying to correct a bad mechanic or weak muscle group, because it can be hard to maintain the proper movement pattern without a lot of guidance. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend On Track to anyone with a sports-related injury (nagging or serious), and especially if you are looking to invest some time and effort into rebuilding a particular body mechanic or motion that you are struggling with.

Align Cycling just opened up in June after being in the Burlington area and being previously known…read moreas REV. They've expanded their mission and now offer both fitness and cycling classes at their studio. I took a fitness class this week, which was an hour long, and what I loved about it is that they focused on mobility, posture and form while lifting, and core strength. We spent the first 15 minutes warming up, stretching, and rolling out our muscles. I love that it was focused on form and mobility, unlike other fitness classes I've taken. I also took a spin class here and their spin studio is huge and beautiful! It had so many bikes! They also use headsets for their spin studio, which I had never used before. You can adjust the volume for your personal headset and listen to the music as loud as you like. This was so appreciated because I always have to use earplugs at other studios because the music is so loud. The bikes also have baskets for regular sneakers OR you can turn over the pedals and clip in with spin shoes, I've never seen that before, it's so cool! You can rent spin shoes here for $3. A couple things to note: they don't offer a free class for your first time in the studio, and most studios I've been to offer a free class to explore the studio and see if you're interested in their space. I'm curious if this will change as they become more established. They have class packs for their fit classes, and class packs for their spin classes, but they don't have combined class packs unless you get their unlimited studio pass, which I was a little bummed about because I had wanted to try both. I just purchased a day pass for each class - the fitness class drop in is $24 for an hour long class, and the spin class drop in is $22 for a 45 minute class. They also don't provide towels for their classes, which would be a nice addition. Most spin studios I've gone to provide towels for their guests. The studio is beautiful and clean, and all of the equipment looks brand new. I'm excited to see this place grow as they continue to make adjustments and become established in the community!

Rev is an awesome spin studio that began about a year ago in Burlington and has grown by leaps and…read morebounds due to its amazing owners, instructors and music. As I searched for Rev's Yelp page to write this review, I expected to see about 20 super positive ones. I was surprised to see just one. But, then again, Vermonters are just discovering Yelp, so I guess it makes sense. Rev was started about year ago by Sarah DeGray in a small space on Pine Street. Sarah has a positive, friendly personality and her spin classes are about as fun as spin classes can be. Just the right combination of challenging and engaging. She also always has great music that really motivates participants. Over the year the studio has developed an almost cult following. People try out the classes and keep coming back. It's very easy to like Sarah and the classes make you feel good. Many newbies are daunted by spin classes. I get it, I used to be the same way. When you've never done a spin class they seem pretty hardcore. The fact is, you start out slow, there is no pressure to do more than what feels good to you, and you quickly see results and feel more fit. Sarah and the instructors are the right combination of motivated and laid back. They want you to feel good about yourself and their classes. In every class people are reminded to move at their own pace. Recently Sarah partnered with Steven Little, a long-time trainer and exercise class instructor who has lived in some of the biggest cities in the US and has pioneered many fitness classes in some of the nation's top gyms. Together, they have relocated to Flynn Avenue, purchased brand new bikes and started offering other types of classes on top of Spin. If you are wanting to get into better shape and don't know where to start, I suggest you visit one of Rev's many free 30-minute classes offered throughout the week. The vibe is friendly and encouraging and soon you will feel like part of the Rev family. I can't say enough positive things about this Vermont-grown spin studio.

There isn't a weight room per se; you work with different instructors and trainers and use the weights, TRX, cables, punching bags, etc. available. There are numerous group fitness classes for all interests from times ranging as early as 7am to 7pm: TRX, TRX Strong, TRX Bootcamp, TRX Express, H.I.T.T., F.I.T., Strength and Conditioning, Total Body ABC (Arms, Butt, Core), Box Fit, HIITBox, CoreBox, Total Body Circuit Training, ETHOS Bootcamp, Yoga. There are also certified massage therapists on site that do various massage modalities and therapies, including the Grafton Technique, trigger-point therapy, Swedish, and cupping. I've taken several classes with Anna Bohen Judge. Anna Bohen Judge is a yoga, TRX fitness instructor, and personal trainer that is one of several instructors at Ethos. I've attended her TRX and yoga and even had some personal training from her. Anna is extremely patient and kind, offering help with form and making modifications for those with physical limitations. Her TRX class is pretty awesome, using Tabatas in H.I.T.T. format as part of the program. Her restorative yoga class takes away stress and any aches and pains. I also went to massage therapist Joy Snow for help with my chronic shoulder issue and arm. She not only worked out the issue, but also explained to me why it may have happened and exercises to do in order to prevent it in the future. Ethos offers an excellent array of classes and services. There are several different membership offerings, plus punch cards that are highly reasonable. I highly recommend this gym for your fitness needs.

LOVE HAMMERFIT!…read more There is so much to love about this fitness center. The gym is great, plenty of cardio equipment and high quality weight machines to go around and a little added bonus- it has a good amount of natural light coming in. They offer a number of fitness classes and in particular they regularly schedule a number of really great Zumba classes with many of the best instructors in the area; try a class with Dillon, Leonora or Jess! The studio space is fantastic with great air flow, a bumpin' sound system and mirrors in the front and on the sides. They often run super affordable punch card specials (especially on or around a holiday) and their desk staff is always friendly and helpful. There is a locker room equipped with lockers, showers and even a basket with random items you may forget like shampoo or lotion. The atmosphere is positive and welcoming which is really important for me. The only downfall is that it's a bit of hike from Burlington; it would be awesome if they opened up a second location in the downtown area so I could ditch my Edge pass. Great space, great facilities and fun staff, check it out!
