Got it -- here's a Yelp-style review version for you:…read more The gym seriously needs to address the poor air quality and lack of ventilation. It gets dangerously hot, especially during classes, and feels unsafe to work out in those conditions. Exercise should not come with the risk of heat exhaustion. Until they improve the ventilation and temperature control, it's really hard to recommend this place.

I tried the Vacutherm Treadmill (what I was on the majority of the time), the Climber Machine and the Body Roll Machine. It wasn't the easiest workout but it wasn't impossible either. Definitely challenged you in the best way. You can choose your levels for the vacuum, for the infrared as well as if you want to run or walk. Loved that it was customizable to your needs!! Loved the body roll machine too as it was an easy way to foam roll. It was easy to adjust the intensity based on body part and what I needed. I felt so SO good after this workout. Prices per session are reasonable. The owner was also so nice and helpful! She really has a passion for this type of workout and it showed. I don't live in the area currently but I will be back!! If you have a waist trainer - bring it!

Like who is keeping these locked up even when there's clearly not that many males at a given time. The trainers consistently harass you to sign up for a plan. I told more than one trainer over in phone and in person that I did not want their services and to stop calling or emailing me. Yet this did not cease. Finally the predatory cancellation / membership annual renewal fee. They will literally charge and annual renewal fee on top of the next months fee. Doesn't matter if you cancel day of, they'll still charge you. The website offers cancellation form but this location doesn't approve them. I literally had to drive 1.5 hours to get to this location just to cancel and was met with additional fees. All around highly do not recommend this gym unless you don't have other options. Be careful of the cancellation when you do move because they will not hesitate to steal your money.

I was in town visiting and needed to get some cardio in. We got here around 9:15am and the gym was relatively calm for a Saturday morning. The facility was very clean, lots of wipes and spray bottles available. The TVs were working and only 1-2 machines were down in the entire studio. I didn't use the bathroom so can't speak to its cleanliness but I'm sure it was good. There was plenty of parking out front too which was nice.

Planet Fitness recently updated the layout and added more equipment, which makes sense since this…read moreis one of the busiest locations. The gym looks nice, and there are a lot of new machines. However, I have noticed that the weights on many of the machines do not seem accurate. I work out regularly at the Belmont and Mt. Holly locations, and the resistance on the machines here feels very different. The weight settings don't seem to match what is listed, making it difficult to track workouts consistently. I hate leaving a negative review because I appreciate the upgrades, but I hope management checks and calibrates the machines. If the weights aren't accurate, the new equipment isn't really an improvement.

Walking in I didn't know what to expect but was immediately greeted by the guest services guy and another trainer. I'm sure they could tell I was new because I was late, I got lost and went to the old location on Park Road. Either way, they welcomed me to the 4:30 cycle class and immediately provided me with shoes. The front entrance was cute and small, I presumed the entire facility was small until I walked down the ramp. To my surprise, they have a huge workout area, bathrooms, and showers as well as another room that provided weights and the cycling room. This workout facility is in the perfect location of the quickly growing southend.

I highly recommend! I met the General Manager Tina and she gave me a tour before my workout showing me the different rooms, workout areas, and educating me on how everything works. She was really helpful and informative with the whole experience. They have multiple saunas that have video training classes done with actual trainers. There was a HIIT sauna, rowing machine class, and yoga. I chose to do the hot yoga and did the max temp of 130 degrees. It was one of the best workouts I've had in a while! I typically weight train at a gym in Noda, but I'll be signing up soon so I can add these workouts to switch it up & have variety in my training. If you go, ask for Tina!

(Yeah right! Lol) Overall- such a GREAT workout, experience and Emily breeze is so awesome!!! The only thing that kept me from quitting..well two things kept me from quitting. Knowing that summer is coming and my booty isn't where it needs to be and sheer will power to just keep going. I almost quit. Like literally said to myself "I can't do this...I so can't do this". And I heard the small inner former athlete say "yes.you.can" so I took another step...one more push up...one more lunge...one more squat. It's a brutal workout. I think we did (well I did because I couldn't do them all) at least 200 squats. I'm sure others did more. I think about 50 or more (I dunno I think I blacked out after a while) push ups, so many sprints, a bear crawl, back pedals, omg...my body was quivering. My mental state was shot....until something clicked and I remembered "yes I can". Sure I didn't do 20 squats at each cone, but I tried to do 15. I just kept moving. Never standing and never cheating myself out of the movement. I push well past my comfort zone. Along with about 200 people. It's a good mix of fitness levels and a great sense of community. I met some great people. Strangers were encouraging each other. The group clapped for those who were coming in last to encourage them. Amazing. By the time we got to the burpee plank series I was spent. I'm glad that was last. The ONLY reason why I'm kicking off a star is because at the end a big muscle guy kick my foot while I was in a modified plank hold (my knees were on the ground and I would alternate left and then right knee) and said "is that your plank?" I said "yes. You don't know my story. You try having stomach surgery" and he walked off. What I SHOULD have said was "is that your face? Oh it is? Then yes. This is my plank" That made me mad and confirmed why I don't xfit. I was judged by my plank and he kicked my foot. So for that, I kick off a star. At least my plank will get better...your face?? *shrugs shoulders* I'm going to go back. I am so happy that I didn't quit. It's challenging and it will help push me past my level of comfort!!!

When I saw that it was co-led by THE Randy Moss, I knew we had to go, being a huge Patriots fan. Since we have been traveling around the US, we have really only been running and getting SOME body weight work in. This class whooped our asses haha! For a class size of about 200 people, it was very well organized! Everyone got a great workout, I felt like I could go ROUGHLY at my own pace, and everyone was very encouraging. I'd like to say that it is an all-levels class, but it really isn't. You would probably be better off with some athletic background or at least average/above average fitness level to keep up. I would be back if I am in the area again! Feel free to follow our travels at www.tandaintheusofa.com! One thing to note, is they do charge $5 to park in their lot, which we did not know. We did see many other people parking on the street perpendicularly across the street.
