After 20-some years of working out at W-B/Scranton gyms, I've seen the entire spectrum of big…read moreboxes, boutiques, and boxing gyms. None, even on their best days, have compared to what is offered at Leverage. For years I confused what I "need" in a gym with what I like to tell people my gym has. It turns out I don't need tracks, pools, or extensive cardio rooms - I just need to see a challenging workout sizing me up from a chalkboard to get me going. For years I made the mistake of dragging myself to the gym for cardio-machine-based workouts with weight lifting. The results were OK, but they were nothing compared to Leverage's "B-WOW" workouts or intense Primal Scream group circuit workouts. When I leave here after only an hour of intensity, my body continues to blast calories and rebuild for days. This involves no cardio machines, and almost no weights. But it involves a LOT of time spent outside my workout comfort zone, and that's why it's so effective. The facility itself isn't much to see, but it has everything: free weights, kettles, balls, TRX bands, ropes hanging bars, mats, boxes ... oh, and a few machines. Towels are complimentary on the floor and the locker rooms, which are the cleanest locker rooms and showers (steam showers) you'll see anywhere. There are restrooms in the White House that aren't this clean, and I know because I've been there enough times. In fact, the entire gym is in a constant state of hyper cleanliness. And that's what I "need" to see at my gym. I need to see the trainer in the gym working out and swishing a mop across the floor. I want a trainer who lives the job, not just comes in for an eight-hour cubicle shift. And more importantly, I need to see other people in the gym for the same reason I'm there: RESULTS.

We walked in and asked the front desk attendant if we could work out being non-residents and he gave us the go-ahead. The space is efficient and full of a variety of equipment found at most gyms. We were encouraged to take advantage of the grounds and stay till closing which is what we did. He was gracious and extremely professional. Glad we found this gem in Wilkes Barre. Wish I had brought my clubs to enjoy the golf simulator.

Danny is patient, diligent, and an expert at knowing just how much to push, and how much to correct. I didn't know what I didn't know until I did reformer, and I am happy that I wound up at a studio that pays attention to your needs, and your mistakes, to correct, and make the "practice" of Pilates a joy. A good mix of rotation, mat, and reformer make the classes a new and welcome differentiation from the last one!
