I had a hard time sticking to a fitness routine in the past, but Burn has kept me engaged and motivated to come back time and again!

I am writing this review after making multiple attempts to settle business with this gym…read more I initially put my membership on hold due to a knee injury I obtained at Burn Boot camp. Anne asked me how long I would like the hold for an I initially agreed to a month to see where things were. Upon further discussion in the future, she agreed to restart the remainder of my 18 month contract if I met with a trainer at Burn. I fulfilled that agreement. Now they are threatening to send me to collections if I do not pay for the previous 2 months, March and April. It is now May. I will not be retuning to the gym as what has previously been verbally agreed upon has not been fulfilled. In addition, I would have met with a trainer much sooner but as you will learn as a member, nobody ever answers the phone. I have attached evidence of our agreement on my membership resumption date. Clearly there is a lack of communication. When I did get in touch with the owner to clarify why I am being threatened to be turned over to collections, she clearly did not remember she committed to this agreement in an email.

After the initial trial period of eight sessions in a semi-private setting, I gladly signed on for more. Even with one-on-one personal trainers, I have never before experienced the degree of attention I get in this semi-private session. Alex and Tyler are careful to make certain I have proper form, and despite my back problems, I have not had any discomfort during or after training. I can tell after two months that I have better stamina, flexibility, and that my core strength is improving, As a 70+ year old woman, I can highly recommend Armored Athlete for anyone with physical limitations who needs fitness training. And who doesn't?

Strongly recommend this place for anyone who wants to get started with a fitness regimen, people who want to stay fit, and athletes looking to exceed their own personal best.

I visited Red Schafer MMA about a half dozen times for grappling classes (both gi and no-gi) and…read morealways learned a lot; Red Schafer is an amazing technician and also really great at explaining techniques and giving feedback when they're not working. The gym is pretty chill without a lot of the ego and drama and bullshit that follows some BJJ gyms around. :) Plus it's really amazing to train with Red because he's SUCH a good grappler. Some black belts are weird about visitors (or people asking them to roll versus vice versa) but Red is totally cool about working with anyone, giving feedback, etc.

She has given me confidence that I can do the workouts. I should add that I have a herniated disc in my neck and 2 fractured vertebrae in my spine. I feel great and look forward to our sessions.

Hard to believe that East Side Pilates (ESP) has yet to get a review. Two private lessons in, and…read moreI'm a huge fan of the studio. I can usually tell within my first 10 minutes of a first lesson on whether the teacher/student relationship is going to work out. I've been fortunate enough to have been taught by some awesome instructors in most major cities I've traveled to over the past five years. I've also had my share of crappy ones as well. Thus, I'm VERY particular with who I choose as my instructor. Being a future physical therapist who suffers from plenty of joint pain (and multiple operations), one of of my criteria in choosing a studio/instructor is whether I'd feel comfortable enough to send a patient there without the risk of the instructor injuring/killing them. I've definitely found a winner with Dawn at ESP. She's a wonderful instructor who actually listens to her clients. She's great at cueing students on what the particular exercise entails. Despite being classically trained, she's open to mixing things up a bit to keep me challenged and interested. I've taken lessons in the past by the annoying "classical purists/snobs" who refuse to change their routine - constantly name dropping and stating that "Joe" (as in Joe Pilates) did it a certain way and that's the ONLY right way. I guess they would be correct if we were still in the 19th century, but anatomy, orthopedics and biomechanics have evolved since then. Back on topic of Dawn, I have yet to take one of her classes, but plan on doing so soon. I know that she'll be equally as great teaching a group as she does a private lesson. The studio does offer group lessons at an affordable price, at least in comparison to studios in LA or NY. The variety includes reformed, tower, mat, jump board, and barre classes, and I believe classes are taught everyday. Classes run from around $15 to $25, and privates are $60/55 minute session. Packages are available, which can bring the prices down quite a bit. And for all you newbies to the studio, they offer fantastic introductory packages. I purchased an introductory three-pack for $160. In any case, East Side Pilates gets my seal of approval. I'm already looking forward to returning for my next lesson.....a very good sign that I found a winner indeed! Tip (an addendum): If you're a complete newbie or have an orthopedic/neurological condition, I HIGHLY recommend talking to Ann (the owner - who's awesome with coordinating lessons and communicating) and setting up a few privates prior to taking classes. Some of the moves can put your body into compromising positions with certain conditions, so it's better to err on the cautious side!
