Yes! I love to torture myself, or something in that direction.... The background story is actually that I don't like conventional fitness center, because of the smell of sweaty people, the amount of endless staring into equipment that you're not quite sure how to operate but afraid that you might do something wrong with it, and to trump it all - I hate the crowd, or let's say people, in general. So I'm more into loner sports like running. However, I heard about this place from Yelp, where Martin R gave tip about this new place that could basically give you all the benefits of the fitness center, without the endless staring part - because there are instructors that tell you what to do with that complicated machine. Energii is a form of pilates, done on reformer machine, it might be hard for some, and easy for some others, but I've experienced that my muscles are challenged in such way they've never been that I actually woke up the next day and found myself couldn't laugh about it - like literally - my stomach muscles hurt so much after. But that's only a good sign. The place in Amager is clean and bright. They don't have any other classes but Classic and Power (some other centers have hot yoga, heat it up TRX classes and the likes), but that's all I need (at least for newbie me who have yet to master the reformer machine). They don't have shower, but they do have changing room - which fortunately doesn't matter much for me since I live across the park from this place. The instructors were nice, although they could be tough (as they way they scrunched up their face when they saw me doing it wrong - ELBOW IN THE BODY, EVA!! - uhh yes, ma'am - but that's only because they don't want you to hurt yourself during the training process. The classes might seem short (1 hour only) and the price is quite high (800 kr a month for free training and a thousand something for clipcard) but with sessions that require instructors all the time, I think that's fair enough (it's not like fitness center where you're basically "let loose" to do what you want). You'll get supervised training all the time and you'll feel that your body benefits from it. No more excuses from now! read more
