Alright, I suppose it's about time for me to write this review. I've been going to Marlow's Fitness…read moresince January 20th. I know that exact date because that was the date I read the Yelp reviews and texted a couple of friends and held my breath and jumped in this "Marlow's Movement" thing whole hog. It was... painful. It many ways. Physically of course with the weight lifting and whatnot. But also emotionally. It's bizarrely difficult to go from a generally sedentary lifestyle to something that requires five days a week and twice on Saturdays. Not. Joking. It's like slipping into someone else's life. It's not bad -- just uncomfortable. His program uses a couple of things to get you to show up and keep going. 1. Accountability: You're accountable to your team and to the program. Your participation, steps, team, weight goals, etc are all being tracked through your fitbit and myfitnesspal. 2. A reward system: If your team or you "win" the program, then you go on an all expenses paid trip to Cancun. You stay at an all-inclusive resort with the other winners. 3. Community: Since all classes are small (14 peopleish) you get to know everyone else in the movement. You become this kind of "we're all in this together" family. 4. Uncomplicated Workouts: 30 minutes of whatever cardio you prefer and 30 minutes of 45 second intervals of weights/body weight exercises. Also you'll participate in some external activities - 5Ks, Saturday morning walks, a scavenger hunt. I lost weight and continue to go to class, building my muscle, getting in better shape and it's legitimately the first time I've been able to keep it off and continue to workout. I mean, I love the ease of crash diets but just feels better.

I was a little apprehensive about boot camp workouts before coming here but I can see how effective they are as you keep moving during these workouts and get some cardio conditioning too. Good form is encouraged and the instructor goes from station to station to motivate and to help with modifications. Plus you get a killer playlist to listen to and people of all fitness levels to workout with. Looking forward to incorporate Heat into my exercise routine.

I loved the no nonsense workout routine at HEAT.

The trainers are great and understanding when I have an injury and a great at offering modifications when needed. I've lost body fat and increased my strength and lean mass. It's not a cheap gym membership but I look at it as an investment in my health. As someone with a heart condition I can tell you that your health and well-being are priceless and F45 helps keep me in n both departments! I love the strength workouts, the Saturday classes are a hybrid of cardio and strength, it's always a great way to start your weekend!

Long story short, F45 is the most AMAZING fitness studio I've ever been to and I've tried them all…read more F45 is a 45 minute Functional HITT workout. Monday, Wednesday, Friday are cardio days, Tuesday and Thursdays are resistance days and Saturday is the only hour long workout that is a combo of both. I love that all the workouts are functional meaning they resemble movements you do everyday. Just like an athlete trains for their sport, people should train for activities they do everyday like pushing, pulling, squatting and jumping rather than solely train isolated movements. One thing that really stands out to me about F45 is the individual attention each member receives from the trainers. They pay attention so that they can correct your form, challenge you and encourage you to give 110% every time. There's been countless times when Trainer Jane sees me slowing down and will get down on the ground and do the exercise with me all the way to the end. When I'm getting tired and think I'll just take it easy, Trainer Andrea levels me up and pushes me to my highest potential. I highly recommend getting the heart rate monitor because it really does motivate you during class to see how hard you're working. You also get workout reports at the end of each class emailed to you, so it's nice to see how you performed during class. They also offer the 8 Week Challenge 4 times throughout the year, which I highly recommend trying! Members and nonmembers can participate in the challenge. You will workout at F45, be given a nutrition guide and plenty of support throughout the 8 weeks and will be have your body composition taken every 2 weeks. I have never been able to make a difference in my body composition and after this challenge I was finally able to lose fat while gaining muscle!

THE BLACK AND WHITE: I tried out a class here with yelp and came back for more. There's multiple class times per day. They do have a strict on-time policy because it takes a few minutes to instruct the movements. Class structure is five stations and you rotate to each station based on # of sets and time. At each station there are different levels of RPE. Depending on the day, you can decide how heavy or light you want to go. Bathrooms and showers are also a part of the amenity here at the gym. THE FINAL BAMBOO: If you want to get a great HIIT workout while being plugged into a fitness community, MADabolic is your place! If it was closer to where I lived, I would definitely be a member here. Highly recommend.

Be Careful: Billing and Contract Issues…read more I have been a strong supporter of OrangeTheory, but after my recent conversation with Anthony, Regional Manager, with the Round Rock location, my wife and I have decided not to renew our memberships. I initially signed up under a promotion described as "pay for one month and get two months free." However, I later discovered that I had been enrolled in a 12-month contract. When I requested cancellation, I was informed that the previous manager, Jay, did some shady stuff and had offered deals that he was not authorized to sell. Upon learning this, I immediately submitted written notice to cancel -- more than 30 days before the end of the three-month period. Despite this, I was charged for an additional month. I was also billed on March 1, even though the studio manager, Britany, had confirmed in writing that billing would not occur until March 15. In fact, based on the timeline, the next legitimate billing date should have been April 1. However, since I canceled my membership more than 30 days in advance, I should not have been billed at all. Additionally, I was told by the regional manager that if I hold a membership at the Round Rock studio, I cannot attend the Pflugerville studio. This was surprising and unclear, as I was clearly communicated at the time of signup that I can do so. In fact, their app does allow me schedule sessions in Pflugerville. Can someone confirm, if the regional manager is saying the truth? Overall, this experience reflects poor communication and inconsistent billing practices. As a business owner and someone who has worked with Fortune 100 companies, I believe this situation could have been handled far more transparently and professionally. I would encourage prospective members to carefully review all terms before signing up, and not trust them on the face value. Additionally, you can also explore other options in the neighborhood. #RoundRockTX #PflugervilleTX #RoundRockFitness #MembershipCancellation #BillingIssue #ContractTransparency #OrangeTheory #OrangeTheoryFitness #OrangeTheory Round Rock membership cancellation #OrangeTheory billing practices #Round Rock gym contract terms #Pflugerville OrangeTheory access policy

I first learned about F45 from an instagram ad, they were promoting a six week challenge, and i was…read morestuck in a rut so i figured why not try something new. Shoal Creek was not far from my place, so i booked an appointment with Cory to learn about it. I signed up, and started my commitment to working out 4-5 days a week, even on days when i had previously made excuses for myself on why i couldnt work out, because of a work schedule or whatever i had invented to get out of physical activity, and adhering to their meal plan, which also required more planning and cooking than i was used to. I fell in love. Even though i don't like doing burpees, a year and a half after i started the trial, i'm still going, still hitting 5 days a week, still challenging myself every class that i attend. These workouts are not things that i would do if i was working out by myself, which is a good thing, and the sense of community and camaraderie keep me going. I attend the morning classes since i work nights, so Trent is the trainer that i see most often, and he really helps to make sure that no matter what your fitness level is, there's an option for you. His demeanor also makes me feel really at ease and is very encouraging. Also, with everything that's happened in the last 6 months, all the Covid shut downs and mandates, the trainers were working hard to give us content, Zoom classes and recorded workouts with modifications and options for weights from things that can be found in the household... I did not gain any Covid weight, and i attribute that to having workouts available, and having access to the meal plan, which are pretty easy to prepare, and pretty tasty... and now that they've reopened, they keep it clean and have a great environment to make me feel safe. I love this place, and love the compliments that i get from people that have noticed the difference from my attendance. And i feel great!
