I started going to Basecamp fitness in 2021, while we were still in the middle of a global…read morepandemic. Like many people, I had put on more than a few extra pounds and was pretty unhappy with how I looked and felt. Before coming to Basecamp fitness I had pretty much no experience with group fitness classes, strength training, and was a novice at anything and everything. I didn't even know how to do a burpee! The Basecamp instructors including Zak, helped create a safe, judgment free zone, that I wasn't expecting, while teaching me proper form and technique. These 35 minute classes, with a 10 minute core block are fast paced, fun, and are over before you know it! My favorite days are lower body day (Tuesday/Friday) and full body day (Wednesday/Saturday). More than 2 years later, and over 400 classes, I couldn't be happier with my progress. A huge thank you to the Basecamp instructors, front desk, and manager for your continuous help and support. I couldn't have done this without you. I'm proud to be a part of the Basecamp community! Tips for newcomers- Stick with it! If you need help, just ask! The instructors are there to help you achieve your goals, and teach you proper form!

I often work out with classpass, so I've tried many of the fitness classes in Minneapolis. Basecamp…read moreis definitely my favorite. I can't say enough good things about the classes here. In 45 minutes, you get cardio, strength/HIIT, and core. The music is stellar, and because it's all timed (one minute on the bike, 10 second transition, one minute of an exercise), I don't have to pay attention to counting my reps and can sing along instead (lol!). You also only do each exercise once without any repetition so if you hate a move, you're done with it quickly. It's a bit chaotic, but despite that, the coaches do an excellent job of correcting form during the strength portions. Don't take my word for it, go check it out for yourself!

I recently moved to MN from CA. I was recently injured so I had to rest for 6 months. Since then, I…read morehave started to decline in my workout motivation. I've never done CrossFit but I have been lifting weights for years. Weight lifting is fun, but it gets boring over time. That's when I decided to try out CrossFit. I called around and found CrossFit SISU in Plymouth. It wasn't the closest CrossFit gym to me, but it had great reviews and the schedules they offered seemed to fit with my day. They put me on a one week trial. I was in constant contact with Christina. She answered my questions throughout the trial process. After the first few days, I fell in love with CrossFit and SISU. The workouts are amazing and highly motivating. There are no dull days. The coaches are super friendly and help me work around my injuries by tailoring the workouts to my needs. The other members are also friendly and help push each other.

Don't let the dumpy strip mall exterior fool you, this is the place for serious fitness not because you want to be a body builder, but because you want to do something for yourself. While they don't have the latest gadgets and equipment that doesn't stop them from giving you a solid 1-hour work out and helping you do the same at home and while traveling.

YAY! This is what…read morepersonal training should be! I took 3 sessions about 5 years ago, and using what I learned from them, lost 50 pounds. They told me they wanted to teach me the skills do do this on my own, and they certainly did. In the last year, I have gone back 4-5 times with a friend to just work out for fun, to learn a few new moves, and just stay motivated. Absolutely excellent. There's no unneeded glamor, no over-pumped-up trainers, this is real and this is practical. And it works. The only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is I would like to find a powerlifting contest trainer, and Powersource is more of a practical place. They train real people, all day every day, and that is good and they are very good at it, and the powerlifting trainer would kind of be overkill for them anyhow. Do yourself a favor and go there now.

I am the poster child for not being a morning person BUT I love waking up to start my day with a TRX workout early with Tara. Everyone has been going here for forever and they all know each other and their kids. Everyone is friendly and encouraging- very inclusive which is nice. The studio is family friendly and they offer a wide range of programs and challenges for the whole family. they encourage family activity which is so fun! I don't have kids but if I did I would definitely make attending a top priority for everyone. Tara is so sweet and is willing to stay after to help you if you want to focus on something additional or need help mastering a move. There is no pressure to be the best... she teaches you how to do the move, does them with you and is genuinely interested in YOU. Classes here make my week :) The studio is smaller and offers a lot of personalized attention, which is rare for a lot of places. Great for all levels.

The workouts are effective and work as long as you put the work in. Included in the membership is an app that has online workouts when you can't make to a class. Each class starts with a coach walking you through each station for that workout. Throughout the class, the coach is walking around, checking form and motivating you throughout the class. Workouts are posted on the app, so you have an idea of what you will be doing for the day. I hope my schedule leads me back to F45 Eagan West in the future.

There you can pick where in the room you will be standing as the spots are painted on the ceiling. A bunch of us decided to take a lower body class so I was preparing to just do a bunch of lunges and hurting... lol The class started and the music began. The instructor took us through a warm up routine and then began to explain all the stations. There were 5-6 stations and we were to rotate between them. Yes, lounges were on the menu! Man, I was getting my butt kicked! each station had certain movements that focused on a certain body part and yes, I was sweating and crying lol. This lasted for about 45 minutes, once we were done with the stations twice, we rolled into a cool down period and eventually the class ended. What I liked about the class is that there was constant movement and you didn't get board with the movement. If I kept going to this class I know I would be in waaay better shape than I am but unfortunately, I don't live in town. I would try it out if you are visiting of living there. Its not too huge and intimate enough that you aren't lost in the crowd.
