I can't believe I am using Yelp as an effort to get this owner to leave me alone once and for all…read more Alas, I wanted so badly to give this a great review. And honestly, based on the (majority) of the workouts (if you can handle all the chatty women and/or CrossFit knockoffs), it's not a bad place. I joined at the recommendation of both my neighbor, and my coworker. I also recommended it to 3 other coworkers. Less than two years later, NONE of us are going anymore (yep--that's SIX people gone). Why? Because not only do you get bombarded constantly with rambling, inappropriate, unhinged emails from the owner, but also because she lacks basic social skills and cues, you will hear all about her never-ending behind-the-scenes drama with various landlords, property managers, other businesses, etc. She completely lacks any insight that her customers don't need a constant stream of what's in her head or her angst, but she does it anyway. And don't even think about giving her feedback on this, because you'll then become the target of said ramblings--I have requested for WEEKS (**she is selectively forgetting her Facebook crazytrain as well as last year when I first told her I was stepping away...how convenient**) she stop contacting me, and I can expect a daily email of her playing dumb and most recently, telling me l "need help" and I "thrive on conflict." (Really? What happened in Burnt Hills, Amanda?) And yet, I'm not the one losing customers to more professional outfits. Go figure....It got so bad, I let my 3 prepaid classes expire, as did my coworker, because we just couldn't deal with being forced to watch The Amanda Show anymore. If you decide to go to Girl Fight be prepared to deal with the thin-skinned drama queen owner who can't seem to put together why she constantly ends up losing business. Seriously--save your money. Buy your own bag and gloves. There are lots of online PROFESSIONAL classes that will give you what you need, without all the hassle. PS: I anticipate her replying here with more of the same and/or getting another one of her crazy emails, and if (when) she does, I'll be sure to share it here.
Can you imagine being this unstable and insecure that you can't refrain from replying to a Yelp comment (newsflash, sweets, I am not "contacting your business" ...and I stand by everything I said. This woman is unstable, disrespectful of boundaries, and lacks professionalism. See for yourself, because she is letting her crazy flag fly for you all to see...and know that IF YOU SIGN UP WITH GF THIS IS THE KIND OF CRAZY YOU ARE IN FOR EVEN WHEN YOU HAVEN'T ATTENDED CLASS FOR A YEAR AND A HALF.
PS: she's right. I hadn't been to a class in a while, but unfortunately that doesn't mean I am exempt from her crazy emails rambling on and on and on...same stuff on Facebook. All these months later.
Update #2: zero reviews since 2017 and now 2 in the last 4 hours...including one BY AN EMPLOYEE!!!THIS WOMAN IS INSANE, but fun to watch as she just can't seem to stop digging herself deeper and deeper.
