Second, safety is her top priority. She closely observes your movement and constantly checks in on which muscles are engaging. If she notices any muscle compensation, she immediately modifies the exercise. I feel completely safe following her instructions. Finally, when I recently hurt my lower back, she guided me through corrective exercises. The very next morning, I was able to stand up and walk--it was truly amazing! I highly recommend her.

I've been training with Matt at Method3 for a little over 6 months now, and I've honestly noticed…read moresuch a big difference in my strength. He's really good at knowing when to push me and when to adjust things, and he always makes sure my form is right. I also really appreciate how encouraging and easygoing he is. The workouts are challenging, but he makes them enjoyable, and I've definitely gotten a lot more confident with strength training since working with him. Really happy with the progress I've made and would definitely recommend Matt!

I like this gym, it's a bit more like a club than purely a gym, but I don't really use the club…read morefacilities so the gym part is what I'm reviewing here. No tennis, no pool, no snack bar. Anyway, there are three key things for me when it comes to a gym. First is cleanliness, second is shower facilities, third is equipment. AVAC is a relatively small gym and I tend to go at off hours. This means not many people, so thankfully it's very clean inside. If you think about a 24 Hour Fitness or similar, they have hundreds of people constantly working out, there's no way to uphold hygiene standards. AVAC, despite being small, has frequent cleanings happening, which is nice. The showers at AVAC are... okay. On the plus side, they provide towels, which is a dealbreaker for me. Who wants to bring their own towel to a gym? So that's a big convenience factor. The towels have been bleached and washed to the point they are marginally more absorbent than copy paper and quite rough, but I guess a towel is a towel. The showers themselves are workable but not ideal. Communal in nature, which I personally find awkward, but going at off hours at least allows me to have them to myself or only 1-2 others at most. If it was packed I'd probably wait, it's just too weird. The shampoo and body wash are not very high quality, kind of reminds me of what you'd get at a cheap motel. But again, at least it's there. I also don't want to cart my own soap around. For the gym's size, the equipment variety and quantity is good. I've never not been able to get a treadmill, I've always been able to get the free weights I want, and there are usually benches available. The only thing in short supplies are squat racks, of which there are two, and space for deadlifts, which is basically also two. I would say the gym's clientele leans towards... not people doing those types of exercise. So I haven't typically had to wait, but again I also don't go at peak hours. There are also tons of machines, if you're the type of person who thinks isolation exercises are good. Better than nothing I suppose, but that's just me. AVAC offers a lot of free classes, of which I've taken none. They also have a snack bar, which I've never used. There's also a pool (not the swim school pool which is like 2.5' high) and a kiddie pool outside, neither of which I've been in. And there are tennis courts and pickleball and some outdoor fitness area, which, you guessed it, I have never been to. I wouldn't say AVAC is a destination gym the way Bay Clubs are, but if you're closeby it's probably the best one around. They also have plenty of parking in back in two lots.

I've been going to this location since it was Fitness 19 by Oakridge, so I've seen quite a few…read morechanges over the years. Overall, I think it's a decent gym and especially good for beginners, but there are definitely some things to consider. A majority of the ellipticals don't work, and there aren't always signs saying they're out of order, so you can end up trying several before finding one that works. The crowd, at least when I go, seems to be mostly 20 or younger or 45+, with not much of an in-between. The staff is also very young so as you can imagine you get a lot of "millennial stares" lol. Thats not too much of a problem at all, just something to consider. When I first started going, I loved that it was quiet and easy to get on the machines. Recently, it's gotten much busier, possibly due to a recent TikTok review. Unless you go early in the morning or late at night, most machines are usually taken. I personally only continue going because an old friend got me a really good deal on my membership. If I were paying full price, I'd probably go somewhere else. It's not a bad gym, but I do miss how it used to be.

In the years I've been visiting this location, I have never encountered anyone as diligently serious as she is.

Whenever you ask her to do something, she immediately gets to work and responds promptly to any requests. She is truly a phenomenal person, and I hope she stays with us for a long time. She is genuinely a winner!

This is my go-to gym and my favorite location at the moment. For the price, can you really…read morecomplain? Well, I guess I can. This is a review after all. I basically come to use the weight machines and then I use the treadmill. My only complaint in that regard is that half of the treadmills don't have the heart rate sensor working. Very frustrating. Lucky for me, I have an Apple Watch and can check that out on my own later on. My other big complaint is what they have on the tvs. Look, most of us come there to workout which is part of stress relief. I'm on the treadmill, have my music playing in my ears and then I am forced to stare at all of the tvs that have the news on the screens. For those 30 minutes or so, I DO NOT want to stare on the friggin news! It could be so much nicer if they had something relaxing and calming like a nature scene. I can't believe that most people want to look at the news right now. We see enough of it and our brains need a break. Anyway, besides those two issues, I am very happy with Planet Fitness.

I would not recommend this class for a beginner due to the corporate direction that instructors do not provide any feedback on form correction or pacing. Even though I frequent Pilates classes, sometimes I find myself rushing through exercises. It'd be useful to hear instructors assist class members in their workouts. It's still a good workout and involves a lot of reformer work as well as floor work!

My wife and I just finished our first class at F45 Branham Park, and wow, it was a whole new level…read moreof tough. The workout was called "West Hollywood" - 27 stations, full-body - and it absolutely kicked our butts. I'm not the fittest person and definitely have a lot to work on, so I felt gassed out pretty quickly, especially during the core exercises. It was way different from what I'm used to at Orangetheory, which I've been doing for a couple of months now, and definitely more intense in its own way. Coaches Michelle and Rudy were awesome - they really made sure we didn't feel overwhelmed and were super encouraging. They kept the energy high and took the time to help us get through each station without feeling too lost. It was tough and challenging, no doubt, and I can see why people get hooked - it feels like you're pushing yourself in a way that makes you leave everything out on the floor. There's a reason Mark Wahlberg is a promoter of F45; you leave feeling like you're ready to fight your way through an action movie. If you're ready for an all-out sweat and a solid workout that pushes your limits, F45 is definitely worth a try. Just be ready to feel those core muscles the next day - I know I will!

The reason for the four stars is because the bathrooms could use some upkeep and remodeling otherwise this place is perfect.

I took session of personal training but then the next time I came in to get requited with the machines there were two people out the counter and it was like they couldn't be bothered to help me. They acted very put off that I even asked. I noted that some people using the machines sit on them while they reading their phone instead of actually using the machine so you're having to wait until they get off.
