The instructors are all awesome and they really push you. I also like that they aren't so pushy with buying more classes or gimmicky monitors. That was definitely a turn off for me with one of their competitors who shall remain nameless (starts with an Orange ).

I've been trying to switch it up with my workout routine to have more diversity with the exercises…read more I usually go to spin classes so I appreciate the cardio aspect of this but love that there is more weights involved. I recently tried Barry's and loved it so I figured I'd try this one as it's closer. Upon arrival, the woman at the front desk got me checked in and told me I could wait until the earlier class finished so she could give me an overview. They do have lockers in the bathroom for your stuff; however, most people just left their stuff in the open cubbies at the front. One the earlier class let out, us first timers were brought into the room and shown how to work the treadmill since it wasn't a generic one. For this class, the room has blue lighting and the instructor is on an elevated platform (or should I say DJ booth). The stage is where the exercises are demonstrated and you can always look for the instructor. While Barry's usually does a clean split between time on the treadmill and then the floor... SWEAT has 5-7 minute intervals and rotations. I didn't love this as I was sharing a space with someone else so when I got to the floor... there was sweat from the other person over the bench and it was a bit gross. Additionally, I think more time gets wasted doing the transitions. The workout itself was great and the instructor was nice. When on the treadmill, I appreciate that they give a walk, jog and run option although with the speeds they mention... no way are you still walking unless you're doing your own thing. On the floor side, I do wish they offered more options or guidance to those who have injuries and can't do some movements. I understand it's a large class so it's not feasible but it's something to note. All in all, it was a good workout and I'd visit again BUT would still pick Barry's over this one.

This is a fantastic pilates studio, and it's one of the more affordable ones. Unfortch for me, I…read morehave to hop on three freeways to get to this studio (there aren't any in the East End!), so I don't go as often as I'd like to. Thankfully, my friend has a membership that allows for a guest each month, so I've experienced this studio twice. Both times I took a class with Shannon H, who is great for instructing Lagree newbs and offering a quick refresher before class. Both classes I worked up a healthy sweat and had full body soreness the next day(s). They also offer Versaclimber classes, which I've yet to try, but the clients that walk out of that class are always drippin' in sweat! There's onsite parking, hand sanitizer, equipment wipes, water refill station... And they have an app where you book your group classes. New client specials: https://www.fyrefitlagree.com/newclients

I've been coming to this YMCA on and off since I was 19 years old. It's been around for much…read morelonger, though. Compared to all of the big chain gyms, and the new YMCA downtown, this might seem pretty dated. But if you are into working out for the actual love of fitness, then of course this Y gets the job done. There is an indoor gymnasium/basketball court and a decent outdoor pool for the summer months. The basement is where the traditional gym is, including tread mills, stair masters, and basic free weights/weight machines. It's really nice to come during school/work hours because there is no one there. You can get your entire cardio/circuit training done in an hour. The bad thing is that directly after work hours, when most people actually have time to go to the gym, it's a bit crowded, as there are only six tread mills and one weight machine for each muscle group. There is an old sauna in the men's locker room that has been locked for as long as I can remember. If only they would repair it, I wouldn't be considering renewing my membership to 24-Hour Fitness.

I've been going hard in training to pass the Air Force ASOS / TACP physical requirements and this recovery method has made a huge difference for me. I'm PR'ing everything at the gym. I also track my light and deep sleep, and the stats from my deep sleep went from about 2.5 hours per night to about 6.5 after partaking in Fire & Ice. How does it work? You spend 3 min in the ice bath followed by approximately 15 min in the sauna. Repeat 3x and do one final ice bath dunk at the end. If you're killing it and feeling run down, check them out and ask for Justin. He'll take great care of you. It's made a HUGE difference for me!

Popped into Rumble via ClassPass while visiting family in Houston recently. It's essentially…read moreBarry's meets Title Boxing -- a split-room setup with boxing bags on one side and benches/floor space for traditional strength and conditioning on the other. There's a similar concept in Dallas at a locally owned studio I prefer. It has no benches, and instead of a stage, the instructor teaches from a ring in the middle of the room. Everyone does the same block (either S&C or boxing) at the same time. That layout makes way more sense to me because: A) No matter where you are in the studio, you can see the instructor clearly. B) It prevents wasted time walking between rounds or stations. At Rumble, the setup made transitions a bit clunky, and I could tell the instructor was trying to sync the music with the workout -- like timing the beat drop with high-intensity intervals -- but because both sides of the room were doing different things, it felt off. As someone who with rhythm, that bugged me. Anyways, the front desk staff were incredibly kind, and knowledgeable. Heads up: you'll need wraps and gloves -- you can rent or buy them
