Yall. There are not enough words I could use to rave about this gym. I haven't committed to a gym…read moremembership in years and thought I was a ClassPass girlie for life. That was until my first AO class. This gym is lightning in a bottle. The programming is dynamic, engaging and effective. It's designed to help you challenge yourself week over week. The different classes between AO Strength, AO Fit and AO Power really allow you to find something tailored to your goals. I currently have the 8 class monthly membership as I am also training for a race but see myself upgrading to unlimited in the future. Now let's talk about the instructors -- the literal BEST. every single one is so engaged in your personal journey and locked in on how to help. I brought a friend with me on my third class and she was like 'are you sure you haven't been coming here for years, they are acting like they've known you forever'. If you are looking for a fun, intentional, challenging place to get fit and stay fit look no further! Love my AO family!!

I have had the best experience working out here. It started with a trial class, as most studios do,…read moreand it instantly felt like a fit and I signed up for membership. I liked that each workout is a bit different (unlike OT), with personal attention given by the coaches to form (unlike F45), while building strength in similar muscles groups to get fit over time. It also rotates in format with a good mix of resistance, strength, HIIT, cardio. It's usually 20-30 people in a class and you feel part of a community - other members are friendly and supportive of you need it, but also focused on their goals and not in your way of you prefer that. The place has easy free parking which makes the logistics easy and lockers/cubbies. They provide clean sweat towels (actually clean). And the team is highly responsive on phone/ message - I've never had issues reaching someone if I've needed to.

I've been attending CrossFit Central for the last four months and have had such an awesome…read moreexperience there. This gym is very intense in comparison to other CrossFit gyms I have been to and the workouts reflect that. I am not a beginning so I can't speak to the perspective of someone coming in new but for someone who has been doing CrossFit for many years this was a great experience. The coaches are all very friendly and really take the time to help you work on form and safety during the lift portion of the work out. During the WOD alternative movements are readily available (although not encouraged unless required) which I think is a good approach to make sure people are pushing themselves to get better and improve. The membership is expensive in comparison to some other gyms in the area but I think you really do get what you pay for here and it is very much worth it if you are willing to dedicate the time to go three or more times a week. It's also a huge bonus that they bill weekly rather than monthly so if you are traveling you can take a week off without feeling like you're missing out. I'm sad to have to leave this gym but I am moving across town and so I won't be able to come regularly. Highly recommend to anyone interested or visiting town.

I have been going to Dane's now for ~6 months. I had been going to a Crossfit gym for years, but…read moredecided I wanted to make a change. The class programming at Dane's is setup so that you generally have 1-2 warm up sessions, possibly a strength session, then there will be 1-2 high-intensity sessions, and finally a "fusion" (cool-down/stretching) session. Everyday is different - you'll never do the same boring warm-up or cool-down routine. The coaches are fantastic. For the first half of 2017 I wasn't able to workout after breaking my ankle playing "bubble soccer" (note to self: don't play bubble soccer again). When I finally was ready to get back at it, I decided to give Dane's a try. The coaches were super understanding and helped me find substitute movements when needed. They're quick to make recommendations on form and technique improvements. Class size is generally between 8-15 students, so I rarely have an issue with getting personal attention if needed. They have a decent amount of equipment, but occasionally you may run into issues with too few dumbbells. Classes are not uber competitive. You don't write your time down or number of reps on the wall. You're competing against yourself. They offer several types of classes and the monthly subscription includes them all: Strength, Fusion and Yoga. The members at Dane's are fun and they host a lot of events. These run the gamut from impromptu post workout happy hours, to "Push-Pull" events, to fun charity events like "Burpees for Bros." If you're looking for a great place to workout with good programming, great coaches, and a fun community, then I would strongly recommend giving Dane's a try.

This is only my second review on yelp as I usually only do this if I am passion it about something. I wanted to share my experience in hopes you will experience the same... On my first visit at the studio my trainer Shane Selberg, spent time helping me get specific with my training goals. He took the time to understand my likes and dislikes as well as the sports I enjoy. He made it very clear that all of this is important when looking at the big picture. After we discussed goals it was time for my measurements. I don't usually enjoy this part of the session, but Shane made me feel very comfortable and was very professional. He used ultrasound to check my body fat percentage as well as percentage of water. I was surprised to find out I still don't drink enough water. :) After reviewing all of his results with me, we revisited my goals to see if they were in align with my data. In my case they were. On to the workout...I loved it! Don't get me wrong it was not easy but it was FUN! Shane trains like no other trainer I have had in the past. Squats on a balance board, hula hooping to Michael Jackson...how could you not have fun! With the fun comes motivation, encouragement and inspiration! Just when I was beginning doubt myself, Shane had words to encourage those last few reps. Not only did he encourage me, he educated me on why he trains the way he does. This really helped me wrap my mind around the big picture. They offer Yoga, Kettle Bell and Boot Camps, I am excited to try them. There are no contracts at 5 fitness and they customize each program to fit the individual. I am looking forward to continuing with this Elite group of professionals and look forward to trying some of the other classes. You have nothing to lose by visiting 5 fitness! Everything I mentioned above is included in your initial visit and the cost is zero. Do it, I promise you won't be disappointed.
