Back in May 2022 before the place opened she joined with two weeks free. The opening was supposed…read moreto be in June. In June it was pushed back to July and it didn't open until September. She went in September (she is a teacher so only certain times work in the school months as opposed to the summer months when was told they were opening). She went for her couple of free weeks in September and decided to cancel. She wa sthen told it was two weeks from opening not two weeks when she first went so we found out they charged her another month on our credit card on September 23rd. She tried to get it removed on September 28th and they said she needs to give a 30 day notice. She signed a form that said the date then is October 23rd. Lo and behold we are charged again on the 23rd of October for the next month!! My wife had texted the owner Joe back on October 19th to verify her membership is over and we won't be charged again. No response. Yesterday she texted him again and asked why he didn't respond to the earlier text and his response was "it looks like your message from 10/19 was missed". Sure it was. Be careful signing up with the gym and read the fine print carefully. My wife's "two week free membership" has turned into $258 and three month membership. No shame in what they screw people out of.

Since every class and instructor is very different from the next, it can be daunting for a newcomer to figure out which one(s) to choose. However, this doesn't really apply at Powerlife because every class and every instructor was superb, and I really mean it. By far my favorite class is Warrior Werk. That is some sexy, strong, vibrant stuff that will have you leaving exhausted yet also feeling like you can conquer the planet and look good while doing it. Cheers to the ladies that guide that class!

I have been a member at Krave Gym for about 7 or 8 years and there are so many things I love about…read moreit. Most importantly, the owners, coaches, and community. The owners started with one gym (this location) and have expanded to several more over the years, yet they remain involved in all locations. All of the coaches are great but I want to give a shout out to Anson Fisk! As luck would have it, I end up in his sessions more often than with other coaches. Anson is very enthusiastic and motivating but more importantly, he sees each person individually and works to correct form when needed. As for community, Krave partners with a local non profit each season (Special Olympics, ARL, etc.) and members are encouraged to participate in an event supporting each non-profit. There are also challenges (just completed a six-week one) and occasionally a social event. To me, Krave is much more than just a gym!

I can't say enough about this gym!…read more LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! It is a great place to go for all shapes and sizes, all ages, all skill levels. Classes ranging from 5:05am to 5:30pm so it's hard to have an excuse not to go. Classes are anything from Strength, Cardio, HIIT, Yoga, Pilates, TRX, Kickboxing and more! Open Monday through Saturday. It's a small group fitness setting and everyone supports each other it can start to feel like our little "FIT" family. There are also a wide variety of instructors so you don't always get the same person each time. The owner keeps me accountable and checks in to see how I'm doing or why I haven't been to class in awhile. She's all about the journey and keeping you on your toes about your goals. Since working out at FIT for about a year I finally reached my weight loss goal that I've had for 5+ years. Unfortunately, Christmas got the best of me and I gained a little back but I'm back in the saddle and doing one of there challenges. The challenges are great because she sets you up with a grocery list and daily meals so it takes the hassle out of the,"what are we going to eat tonight..." deal that we all can struggle with. I've lost so many inches, my mood has improved and I just feel all around better than I did before I started working out at FIT!

This gym is amazing…read more I was looking for a gym that could challenge me and I found that in Next Level. What is Next Level? Next Level is a boot camp style gym. The way the gym is set up they have 8 week sessions and everyday of that 8 weeks is different. I loved the variety of exercises and trust me you will never be "bored" during class with all the different workout combos they offer between kickboxing, body weight exercise, dumbbells, jump roping, resistance bands, rowing, steps, and ladders. I did one trial class and fell in love and signed up for 6 months because that is how amazing I thought this place was. Who is Next Level for? Next Level is for everyone! If you interested in nonstop intense workout, then check out this gym! I would recommend checking them out first to see what you are getting yourself into but you will not regret it. The owner and trainers are the best around and very focused on getting you to the next level of your fitness journey (see what I did there? okay I am done I promise)

Today I just finished my 1st 8 week session and I have to admit, I feel AMAZING. To compare my 1st…read moreweek where I wanted to puke, quit and give the middle finger to all the fit people, I accomplished my goal of not quitting and following through. I've signed up and have ran (3) 1/2 marathons, a few 10ks but never performed at my best because I would always quit in the middle of training. Thanks to the awesome trainers who push you to do better than your best, I lost a few lbs, a few inches, and I'm stronger mentally and physically. To see my testing results from the 1st 4 weeks compared to the 2nd 4 weeks made me proud of what I was able to do. I was able to double the weights I started with and knocked my rowing time down by 32 seconds. Next session is to complete 500 m in less than 2 minutes. The culture of the gym is probably one of the biggest reasons why I didn't quit. Everybody was focused of becoming better individually but always made time to motivate and encourage me to finish. There were so many times I didn't feel like working out but I went anyways because I had a whole class that kept me accountable. Joining NXLF is probably one of the best choices I've made in a long time. I have found an activity that challenges me on a daily basis and promotes a culture of people caring and looking out for each other. If anybody is interested, trial for next session is the week of July 31st. You go in, sign a waiver, sweat like you never sweated before and walk out in pain but hopefully, decide to go back for more. The owner/trainers will not push you into signing up, another perk I respect and appreciate it.
