A lot of the people who lift here are very fit and body build. That being said it would be easy to be intimidated by the atmosphere from an outside view. But you would be completely wrong to judge by that! Everyone here is very respectful and even helpful. The staff are very genuine. They have proteins and snacks you can purchase as well as gear. Parking at all locations is very limited but you can find street parking at all that don't make you pay a dime. This is truly a gym for those looking purely to get in shape and lift heavy.

They also make everyone feel welcome. I've only been for Pilates classes but have been to several of them and loved them all. Pilates classes tend to draw a female crowd which can be intimidating but this studio couldn't be further from that. Everyone is welcoming, no one cares what you wear (Lulu who? Wear your favorite t-shirt), and every skill level is accommodated. They have 4 reformer machines so for classical reformer classes, they have 4 spots. I typically go over lunch and book ~5 days out and usually don't have an issue getting a spot. They use the MindBody app and have their own app as well so booking classes is easy! They use a waitlist and most times I've been on the waitlist, I get added to the class. The instructors mix things up and keep it interesting with fun music! I've been to reformer classes elsewhere with soft, soothing music and it nearly put me to sleep. Not here! Expect 80s jams from Jean, Lizzo from Andrea, and the Doobie Brothers (or Beyonce!) from Ruth. They have a Pilates Circuit class that combines the reformer, jump board, tower, chair, mat, TRX, and more. I haven't done the same workout in a Circuit class once. Circuit classes can have 12 (or maybe even 16) people in a class which is super fun and keeps the energy in class moving. The studio has cubbies for your belongings, a bathroom, towels, and a shower. They have a parking lot with maybe 10 spots and tons of parking spots along the street. I haven't had an issue with parking but they are next door to Psycho Suzi's so on a summer Saturday, give yourself extra time to park. Upstairs they have the "Treehouse" where they hold barre, Pilates, and yoga classes. The back wall of the studio is all windows that face the Mississippi. They also have the "Basement" where they have open gym and weight classes. They even have open gym times in the "Treehouse" with the Pilates equipment! Their prices are wonderful! Your first week is free so definitely try that. I did and 6 months later, am still going to classes. Your first month of unlimited classes is $59 which is INSANE for Pilates. Their memberships get you any class - reformer, yoga, kettlebells, whatever! PLUS unlimited access to open gym times. After the intro month, their prices and membership options vary but are still some of the most affordable options I've seen. They have a 12-class-a-month option for $135 which means each class is $11.25 - for reformer classes! I've seen studios charge $35 for one class. They host free outdoor workouts in the park, bike rides, and "Planks & Dranks" events at local bars. If you're looking for great workouts, a supportive workout community, and affordable classes, try a class at NE Fitness. I suggest the Pilates Circuit Class with Andrea to get you started. See you there!

Coach Alex let me drop into one of the weekday evening group classes (thank you!), and I was immediately welcomed by the class regulars. I loved the inclusive space, great music and good vibes. The group class started with some mobility, then 5 minutes of abs, then several supersets of strength and cardio-based work, followed by a finisher. Absolute Strength does primarily personal and semi-private training, but that they offer several group classes in addition is wonderful. If you sign up for a personal training package, you can also pay a little extra to get access to open gym. I wasn't looking for just personal training and wanted something open every day of the week, (plus it was a little pricy for me), but I would definitely recommend this gym!

This was my first visit for the purpose of volunteering at USA Swimming Junior National Championship. Parking can be a challenge for visitors. There is a nearby parking garage and very limited surface spaces. The area around the pool was clean. The building although dated to possibly the 70's is in great condition. The majority of the facility is the competition pool used by the University of Minnesota Swim team. The facility is nicely maintained. However, faculty and students can use the pool. The Olympic size competition pool is 50 meters with movable bulkhead, platform diving and well. The aquatic complex consist of approximately 145,000 gallons of swimming capability. The Long Course pool has eight lanes for competition.. The spectator area is expansive and spans the entire length of both sides of the pool and well. The public locker room area is large and pretty clean. There were two malfunctioning items. Great facility and hope to return for another event in the near future.

I would go as far to say that their services are better than Sydney's Olympic Park Aquatic Center. The Rec has honestly changed my life for the better. In my experience, the machines have always been clean and plenty to go around for everyone to work on any muscle or work on cardio. It can get a bit crowded at peak times; there's always space for everyone, even if you gotta wait a bit for a specific machine.

A very convenient location. I have lived in NE Minneapolis my whole life and have not found a better gym. Can't beat a gym that is open 24/7. I love the motivation mantras and workout routines that are written on the white board by the back door! I am a runner, but strength training at the gym is an important secondary compliment to running. (As well as yoga, but that is a whole different story for another day) Snap fitness fulfills that need! Everyone is nice and easy going when it comes to asking if you are using the machine, how many sets you have left, reminding you to take the weights off the bench press, or just letting you know if you are using a machine/bench. Signing up for another 6 months (+1 free 7th month) was quick and painless. Photo coming...

"Define your strong" is not just a slogan - the trainers at Bodies by Burgoon really work with everyone to help them reach whatever goals they want to achieve.

It also provides an accessible alternative to a one-on-one approach without sacrificing the tailoring in your program.

You're not going to find anyone else that matches his knowledge, passion, and genuine love and kindness that he shows all his clients. He has an astonishing ability to remember each and every clients individual needs to the point he seems to know more about your body than you do some days. Jason has curated a special place that anyone, regardless of skill or experience level, are welcome and celebrated. He makes it a high priority to keep it this way, ensure gym goers never have to worry about being judged or bullied. Unlike traditional gyms, or even traditional gym group classes, you come in and work along with anywhere from 1-3 others to as many 6-7, but all focusing on your own individual workout. Jason seamlessly bounces around the gym space, directly and helping where he's needed. All this, and the rates are extremely affordable and generous. Jason treats this clients as people first and profit second, which is something I've never experienced elsewhere. Cannot recommend Jason enough, he and his gym are the gold standard!
