My friends and I found this place inside of the Evoke gym. The room can hold a good amount of people. It's dark, has neon lights and loud music. The workout is great and the so are the instructors. The only downfall is the music; it doesn't vary. We have taken 3 classes with the same instructor and the music played during workout is the EXACT same each time. It makes it a little mundane. If they could switch up the playlist each class it would be close to perfect! read more

This black-lit gym does not provide your generic fitness experience. With high energy boxing and spin classes, Escape will treat you to a totally unique workout. The instructors are great, they know a lot about what they are teaching and they have a passion for it. The instructors also participate in the work out, which I admire. Once you've taken one spin or boxing class from Escape, your regular gym spin classes will be boring enough to put you to sleep. Escape uses blacklights because they believe fitness is about how you feel, not how you look. With loud music, high energy, great instructors, you'll finish your workout feeling stronger and more pumped up than ever. Memberships are a little out of my price range but drop in classes every few weeks are totally reasonable. I'll always be a fan of Escape and its unique workout experience. read more

I absolutely love coming here. My first time was during the YEE and I've been hooked ever since. First off it's super dark and the only light comes from black lights and a couple colored neon type lights in a few spots. Its completely free of any type of body shaming because 1. You can't see, and 2. You're so focused on your own workout and watching and listening to the music being played which by the way is on projected on the front wall. My favorite part I think is at the very end when nice cold wet towels are handed out for cool down. They feel so good! My reason for a 4 star instead of 5 is because I kind of felt that there should be an introduction to the area and how it works with waitlists and standbys and general info when you're a new member. Alo, I tried a couple different times to contact Escape by phone and email to ask some questions but never got a response. But finally after I ended up having a little trouble with a purchase online I used Facebook to message the business and I got a response back very quickly and all was fixed. The very last thing is the class packages as well as contact info are different in the app vs. on the website. It just got a little confusing. Overall I really enjoy going to classes here! read more

Escape - Boxing Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I am giving this business a one star because of its poor advertising, difficulty in scheduling a class and non-functioning internet site. My Girlfriends and I have been wanting to take a class for over a year and honestly I thought the place went out of business. I went to The Basement recently to the coffee shop and saw that it still existed. How on earth is this place still in business? I've even gotten on their Facebook page for a schedule and information with no luck. Seems like a cool place but all gyms in town have schedules online these days. read more

I wanted to find a good way to get back on a healthy routine, so when I saw the New Years F*ck A Resolution pass that Escape offered I had to do it! It was $75 for 12 classes, with a catch... the classes expired after 30 days. It forced me to stick to a routine of 3 classes per week. It's $12 for drop-in classes. Overall, I loved the experience!! Great classes, great instructors, great space. Nearly every class ended with a cool, refreshing towel. The only big issue I see is that the app and website have different pricing information, and it is confusing to understand what exactly each pass option provides. I really hope the app and website get fixed, because I do want to continue with the classes. I took mostly cycling classes, 1 Pound class, and 1 boxing class. I wanted to try as many classes as possible in case I decided I want to attend regularly. Let me start with the classes that kicked my butt--Pound and Boxing. Pound killed me, but it was also the second class I went to, so I was pretty out of shape still. Boxing was awesome, but I took it towards the end of my pass since Pound had been such torture for me. Shandise was really helpful with the newbies who had never done boxing before (like me, ha!). As for the cycling I took classes from Christin P., Colie M., Bailey P. (Owner), and Luke L. Christin's Thursday night classes with DJ Rhino providing an awesome mix are by far my favorite ones!! She has such a great motivational and inspirational skills! I love her. Luke integrated a good balance of upper body training with the weights which was a nice change from just 45 minutes of straight cycling. read more

Boxing, spin, poundfit, booty boot camp, and lots of plyo no matter the class it is awesome! Who doesn't love working out in the black light. ;) There are multiple classes each day and the app is great for keeping up with what is available and sending reminders for the classes I have signed up for. Bailey and Jen kick ass.... literally. Located in the Basement, you can work your butt off, grab a bite, a raw juice, or a wicked good coffee. All in one spot. Even find a wicked outfit to fit your new curves that escape has helped you sculpt. This is an awesome find. You have to try it to fully understand. I have been to tons of fitness classes and this is truly a unique experience. read more

Escape - Spin class!!!! Let's do this - Boxing Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Just walking down the hall into the entrance of Escape, you know you are in for a totally different spin class experience. Walking in the dark past the boxing area you find yourself in the spin room that seems a little shy on space. You soon realize however that in nearly complete darkness, you have no idea how large the space really is. And while you're riding a stationary bicycle, how much do you really need. Colie led the class well, explaining to all the newbies the equipment we would be using, the positions she would be utilizing and that the strength level was totally up to what we were comfortable with. A very pleasant surprise for me was that the amazing music set that was being utilized was complimented by the display of the music video that went along with it. The projection was large enough for all in the class to see. It was an engaging distraction from the ass kicking that Colie was handing me. In other spin classes that I have attended, I would typically find myself reflecting on the time hoping the hell I was going through would end soon. That was nowhere nearly the case here. So as you can see, I was quite thrilled with the spin class experience that the Escape had to offer. The only downside for me is how far from home it is, but as with the gym I go to, I think the extra drive is worth it. It is also nice to see the revitalization of the downtown area and giving locals amazing reasons to re-visit their home downtown. read more

If you want a different approach to working out with music that gets you pumped up to a point where your adrenaline fuels you through the entire work out, then this place is for you. I decided I wanted to try something different from the typically gym routine of weights and cardio equipment. I have been hearing a lot about spin classes new twist, where you work out in a club atmosphere with loud dance music, dark room and bright lights! I thought that would be a great class where I would get lost with the music and work out twice as hard, but something else caught my eye. Pound Fit. I went to class and rocked out! You have these drumsticks, where you strike it as if you are about to play the drums/ or taiko drums and then you strike the floor as if you are making the sound effects to the music. I honestly felt pretty cool using the sticks for the work out. Today they focused on the hips and abs with some arms and thighs workouts. I definitely felt the burn with the abs and hips, and the soreness will definitely be kicking in the next day. *I'll update the review once I take the Build a booty camp on Friday.* My suggestion: - Buy the First Week unlimited trip for $20 to start. This is an awesome deal for you to check out all the classes they offer. A single drop in fee is $12, so you just need at least 2 classes to make it worth it. -HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you RESERVE in advance! The classes are in small groups and they fill up quickly. Plus it holds you accountable to make sure you don't think twice whether or not you feel like going or not. Note* you need to have a login account* - Bring a friend to rock out with. - Parking is a bit tough- So make sure you go in early. There spaces with/ without meters. - Have fun! read more

I came to the Escape trying to break out of a fitness rut. A former D1 collegiate athlete, and a coach myself, I find it sometimes really hard to come to class if I know that its not going to be hard, or if its not ran well - Escape took all my worries away with this. The instructors at Escape are top notch, a special shout out to Cristin Perkins and Luke Lippencott for taking my #1 choice to take a class from. Also, box and spin on Tuesdays is the worlds greatest class. Classes keep your cardio levels up, and incorporate muscle strength and over all fitness. This is not a "shame" gym, it doesn't matter how fast you go, its about how you feel and exercise because it makes you feel good. I love all the body positive actions and mantra that goes into the class. You always leave the place feeling better about yourself. Why only 4 stars then? Well, I wish the class times were a little more convienent for my schedule. I really appreciate the 7:30 pm at night classes, but there aren't that many a week. Also, theres no early 7 am classes to get your day off on the right foot. And it can be a little pricey. Sure they do specials such as the #fitmas special, but would like to recieve perks for reccomending a friend or social media shout outs. It isn't pricey enough for stopping me coming completely, but definitely something I will have to budget around. read more

Escape just keeps getting better! I finally ventured into the spin classes and it took me a bit to warm up but I actually like them now! On top of that, Heated Pilates was added to the schedule and that class is AWESOME. It's a full body workout and Alex takes the time to explain each move and make sure that you are doing it correctly. Hella reccomend. read more

First time cycling and I must admit- I am hooked! Helpful and experienced instructors and a super fun environment! read more

I tried my first class here today and it was Work Bitch with Jen. I've been a member at Orangetheory down in south Reno since their opening but have been looking for something closer to home and more in my budget. Unlimited classes here are $90 a month which is $10 less than what I have been paying for less classes. To start, I've never been to a spin class but was excited to try it out. It's super dark down there and I already have terrible vision. Totally fine, they can't help my genes. I got there probably more than 10ish minutes before class started and checked in. The woman at the front desk was helpful and showed me the lockers and the bikes. I was a little disappointed that I wasn't shown much else though, like how to adjust the bike. It took me awhile to figure that out. The overall workout was great. I left feeling dead, in the best way possible. I just wish I'd had a little more instruction seeing as it was my first time. The music is also REALLY loud. It's super motivating but I couldn't hear what the instructor was saying a lot of the time. Overall a great workout. I'm trying two more classes while my unlimited week pass is still good. I had a good time but I wasn't completely blown out of the water by it. I don't know yet if I'd sign up for a monthly membership but I'd definitely buy a package or pay the $12 for a drop in class! read more

Love this gym! Finally somewhere you can get away from the average gym routine. The in the dark experience truly takes you away from body shaming or too busy starting at others habit. Get in, get out and feel amazing! All the trainers bring such different elements to their classes you really can't go wrong with any of them! read more

I signed up for the Sunday night spin class at 7pm with 2 other friends. 1 class was $12 for 45 mins. This was the best cycling class I have taken so far! It's a very different experience than most gym spin classes. You spin in the dark with cool lighting, the music is loud and upbeat, with a video projection to watch the music videos. The workout is timed very well to the music. The instructor will guide you through different workouts on the bike and focus on different muscles. They also add in ab and arm workouts with dumbbells. And at the end of the class, they hand out a refreshing cold towel. This class was so fun and I am really excited to try it again. read more

Seriously the best spin gym in Reno! A lot of times when you first go to a gym it is intimidating but that is not the case with Escape. When you walk in it just seems like you're family. Everyone greets you and offers to help. That goes for not only the people working there but the clients. Everyone is so welcoming. The classes are amazing! Spin is hands down my favorite but POUND fit is quickly becoming my second favorite. Combine an amazing workout with great music and blacklights and the result is just magic! I also love that when you want you can mix up your cardio/workout routine with their variety of classes. If you are looking for a place to get your sweat on this is it! read more

I travel to Reno 2-3 times a year to visit family and I am SO glad I FINALLY found an amazing place to keep my exercise routine exciting and fun during my stay. Classes at Escape are more than just a workout (and they are quite the workout)... they are fun, energetic and exciting. Bailey (the owner) did an amazing job thinking through all the details of the experience, from an easy way to pay and sign up for classes (on their app) to the branding of the place, to the fun names the classes have ("Post Weekend Cycling"). Best part: icy-cold wet towels at the end of the workout to help you cool off. I'm totally addicted and try to get as many classes as I can every time I visit Reno. I even got my husband to join me and he's hooked as well! read more

This is the BEST place ever! Super helpful and nice people. The atmosphere really enhances the workout. Not for one second did I feel out of place or embarrassed at my level of fitness. LOVE these people read more

I love to workout at this hidden gym. The spin bikes are the best I've ridden and watching music videos while spinning in the dark makes the class seem to go by faster while you're getting your sweat on. The app to pay and sign up for classes is very easy and convenient, and you can get on a waitlist to get into full classes. The app also shows you what number you are and updates as you move up the waitlist to get in. Once you're in, you get a text that you're registered and just need to show up. My favorite class is the 30 minutes of spinning that transitions quickly to 30 minutes of boxing. Bailey and her trainers are all great instructors and she responds promptly to questions or issues via messages and texts. The only thing that would make it better is 5:30 pm classes for people who get off work at 5:00 and want to hit a 5:30 class and get home by 7pm. It's a great place to get a great workout! read more
