TREO changed my life! I have been a member here for about 14 months and I can easily say it is the…read morebest thing to ever happen to me. I am getting leaner each day and I feel like I am in the best shape of my life. I feel fantastic. The trainers here pay close attention to detail, give you tips you can take home with you, and become your friend from the moment you walk in the door. I haven't had a single trainer or session that I wasn't completely happy with. "Group PT" is exactly what it sounds like. Personal Training, in a group setting. The workout can be compared to circuit training. There are strength exercises and cardio mixed together. The workouts make use of kettle bells, free weights, TRX straps, heavy ropes, mats, bands, medicine balls, swiss balls, prowlers, and more. Groups can be anywhere from 2-20 people, depending on who signs up. The workouts are set up as stations of 2-4 people, with varying reps and time frames. They change up the overall format for each class. Over a year later and I'm still learning new things each class! The trainers are highly skilled and right there for you anytime you need assistance with form or have questions about the movements. EVERYONE here is very motivating. Trainers push you to work harder, break limits, and achieve your goals. The members are welcoming and fun to workout with. We all work together to keep the group going. The atmosphere here is wonderful. Trainers and members are all very friendly. I can't say enough about the overall attitude and environment. It's just great. The membership here ranges quite a bit. Serious athletes and newcomers sign up for the same Group PT and both get a great workout. Variations and modifications are made clear for those of us working at a different level. There are other types of training available at TREO. I have not attended EPIC yet and have not taken advantage of one-on-one training, so I can't say much about those options. TREO also offers occasional "challenges". This is how I originally joined TREO. I started during a fall challenge. Right now, I am a part of "Fit in 15" which is a post-New Year's 6-week fitness challenge. I took a body assessment at the beginning, set goals for my experience, and have been attending workouts 3 times per week. They set up opportunities to earn points during the workouts. There are additional at-home challenges as a part of Fit in 15. This week is plank week. Three minutes of planks at home is worth one point. Participants were divided into teams to motivate and compete for prizes. There are nutrition seminars and facebook support throughout the challenge and another body assessment at the end. This particular challenge has been so fun for me. It's a great way to stay motivated. It is important that you know this IS ABSOLUTELY NOT a naggy gym that focuses on trying to get you and all of your friends to sign up for 2-year contracts. This is a family business that values your success and achievements over anything else. They will check in on you -- they will call and email on occasion -- but because they care about how you are feeling and whether or not are achieving your goals at TREO. They also have an excellent facebook community that you are invited to once you join. The private groups they maintain have been motivational to me and offers an opportunity to make new friends. For frame of reference, I've worked out at just about every type of local gym and most of the national chains. I have never experienced anything as awesome as TREO in WNY. I still do yoga and spin, occasionally, outside of TREO, but nothing compares to the workout I get here.

The experience was wonderful and the workout was always challenging. I remember there were times that I thought "I can't do this", but at the end of the hour I couldn't believe how great I felt and anxious to return for another session. Emily is AWESOME!!!! She truly believes in every person and their individual concerns. She motivates and pushes you, but always in a way that is safe and totally comitted to your best interest. Don't hesitate to give this a try !!! I know I will be back later this year!!!!!!

You get the instruction and the tips on how to throw the hatchet and then boom, you're off and running. (Not actually running, but you know what I mean.) The instructors are all great and really liven up the whole experience while also giving you tips along the way. This kind of activity really brings out the competition in people in the best way. Many of us had ever thrown hatchets before and those who had, aren't masters by any means. It was just a really enjoyable time to all try something new together. The drinks help too! Not with the throwing (I mean I don't think so) but with keeping the spirits high and having a good ol' time. The space itself is very big but with the cages for throwing, it can get a little tight with a lot of people. There is a bar there with some great beers on tap including the mystery beer which is always fun to try to guess. Food is limited to mostly pub grub but honestly, you're here to throw hatchets, not eat a ton. The pizza we had was good though so check that out. Overall, this is a really cool place to try out. And hey, if you like it, they even have weekly leagues here you can join and get better and continue the fun.

Previously I wrote on my experience on the Muay Thai classes I have been taking with Kru Keith Forant and I still go to every class I can. Currently Coed Muay Thai is offered Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturdays with the addition of a ladies only class on Wednesday and Friday. I have learned so much and I can feel my body becoming leaner and stronger with the cardio that Muay Thai offers. I have also been doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for about under 2 months and this is something I do not regret starting up. BJJ is taught by blackbelt Joshua Ketry and he was born to teach as I fell in love with BJJ after my first class. BJJ is offered Monday - Thursday and Saturday mornings. BJJ is a ground type of martials arts that deals with a lot of grappling to defend yourself against an attacker. The idea is that a smaller, weaker, person can defend themselves against a bigger, stronger, person by using techniques to achieve submissions by chokes and locks. I take all the classes as I feel incredibly empowered as a female to learn something that can help me if I ever find myself in a situation that would call for my BJJ training. The instructors are top notch and the students are there to learn and help other students achieve the same thing there are, to be better than you were yesterday. I highly recommend checking out BUMA if you are looking to get into Muay Thai, BJJ or Judo whether it be for bullying, defense or just an amazing work out.

Looking at this gym from the outside, you don't really think much to it, since it is a bit hidden in the shopping center, but once you enter, it's like an entire sandbox of exercise equipment! There's a couple rows of a variety of cardio equipment, as well as machines and free-weights; all of which are spaced out properly so it's not like the person next to you is breathing down your neck. I signed up for the signature package online, which allows me to access the gym 24/7 with my key card; even if the staff is off for holidays, such as the Fourth of July! The only sad thing, is once I leave Buffalo, I won't be able to take this gym with me, since I don't have one in my hometown. This is by far my favorite gym I've ever been to in every aspect!
