Started doing personal training with Natalie S. After one session I feel like a whole new person. She listened to my concerns and my goals and tailored a regimen to my specific needs. Love the Chill Zone - just wish it was included in the membership instead of $20 a session (you do get one free session per month which is nice). The infrared sauna is a great warm down! Grateful for this community and excited to try out more classes. Just wish there were more offerings, the classes I like are only offered once a week.

I chose this gym for the convenient location and easy parking. I'd never done a full walkthrough,…read moreso I popped in one afternoon and was genuinely impressed by the old-school vibe. It felt like a perfect match for someone who appreciates real gym culture over shiny boutique studios. But the longer I trained there, the more the cracks started showing--and they add up fast. The equipment is a mixed bag. The free weights feel satisfyingly heavy (old-world heavy, great for pumps), and I really loved the turf area--it's loaded with punching bags, sleds, aerial bands, kettlebells, Bosu balls, a vibration plate, and more. It's genuinely impressive... when it's not a zoo. People constantly cut across paths or leave equipment scattered everywhere. Lanes or some basic traffic management would make a huge difference. The machines, mostly older Techno Gym and Hoist units, are where things fall apart. Many have off motions, some are missing weight scales entirely so you can't even tell what you're lifting, and the abductor/adductor machine has a weirdly tilted seat that forces awkward positioning and incomplete reps. The locker room was a constant frustration. Way too small for the traffic, with tiny lockers that barely fit a gym bag--forget squeezing in shoes, a phone, or a hat. It's also uncomfortably hot with terrible ventilation, and the black toilets plus lack of any real vanity area made post-workout routines feel like a hassle. Same story with the abysmal shower water pressure. Nothing about the space felt luxurious despite the "low membership, high quality" marketing. The infrared sauna gets plenty hot but is clearly showing its age (the teak creaks like it's begging for maintenance). The cycle studio is actually awesome--super dark and built for intense rides--and the yoga studio with skylights and soft wood floors is cozy. The stretching room has a stretching cage and free percussion guns, but with only one cage and limited space, it quickly turns into a crowded mess. Two reformers are a nice touch, though. The recovery area has real potential: hot bath, cold plunge, red light panel, and Norma-Tec boots. But everything is pay-to-play after the first use (one free recovery session per month, $35 extra after that; InBody scans are $15 each). At my previous luxury club, these were included with your membership. They send a cute monthly newsletter highlighting employee of the month and new equipment, which is a nice touch, but it doesn't hide the feeling that the club is running on limited operating capital. Everything feels a little gimmicky and nickel-and-dimed. I really wanted to love this place for its old-school soul and solid turf setup, but at $199 per month, the headaches and lack of luxury simply aren't worth it. I'll miss the turf training the most, but I won't be renewing. Best avoided unless you're okay with paying premium prices for a dated experience.

This review is long overdue, but so well deserved. EWB was an amazing experience. Over the year or…read moreso that I was there, I saw amazing improvements to my physique, posture, strength, and overall health. It was the best shape I'd been in since high school. For starters, the gym itself is small but well-equipped. It doesn't have the bloated feeling of big gyms, yet you can get the same quality of exercise in it that you might there. But what really makes EWB are the trainers. My earlier experience there was with a friend and trainer of mine named Diana, who was super cool and knowledgeable and really helps you enjoy working out. When I went there a couple of years later, I connected with a guy named Jonathan. Super knowledgeable both as a trainer and in anatomy and physiology. He was able to keep my technique safe and appropriate and give explanations for why we did things at all times. I was enjoying my experience so much that I started going up to 4 or 5x a week. That's when I had the pleasure of working with Sara and Jenn. Sara was able to keep working out simple and effective, and she always offered great nutritional advice to make sure that I got the biggest return on my investments. Jenn, meanwhile, gave me much needed help with mobility and provided bodywork to ensure that my body was a well-oiled machine while it endured weekly rigor from both training and work (which was also physical for me). When someone didn't have time to see me, the owner, Nicole, would work with me. She challenges you in a way that makes you feel capable, and I owed a lot of growth in confidence to her during my time there. I would highly recommend this establishment and its personnel to anyone serious about making healthy improvements in their life. I still recommend them to friends and colleagues of mine regularly.
