There you can pick where in the room you will be standing as the spots are painted on the ceiling. A bunch of us decided to take a lower body class so I was preparing to just do a bunch of lunges and hurting... lol The class started and the music began. The instructor took us through a warm up routine and then began to explain all the stations. There were 5-6 stations and we were to rotate between them. Yes, lounges were on the menu! Man, I was getting my butt kicked! each station had certain movements that focused on a certain body part and yes, I was sweating and crying lol. This lasted for about 45 minutes, once we were done with the stations twice, we rolled into a cool down period and eventually the class ended. What I liked about the class is that there was constant movement and you didn't get board with the movement. If I kept going to this class I know I would be in waaay better shape than I am but unfortunately, I don't live in town. I would try it out if you are visiting of living there. Its not too huge and intimate enough that you aren't lost in the crowd.

This was my first-ever experience in an infrared sauna, much less in a gym where you workout IN an…read moreinfrared sauna. It was easy to schedule, and the front desk person was friendly while giving me a tour. Isometric classes are about 40 minutes, but the cardio classes (yes, there are bikes and rowers IN the sauna pods) are only 15 minutes. The website says that is because they are basically twice as effective a room-temperature class, so you can do one sauna class in half the usual time. I did an isometric class, so I can't speak to the cardio experience, but I have never sweat more, not even in hot yoga. The provided mat and towel did their job, though, and it wasn't slippery at all. You reserve a time in a particular pod, and pick a specific pre-recorded class. The iso classes seemed to be one-person-per-pod as I walked by, but the cardio pods each had 3 bikes or 3 rowers in there, so you could be with other people. I could definitely feel my muscles burning, even though the exercises were slow and with minimal weight. I followed the instructions and drank a ton of water the rest of the day, but I did feel very good afterwards. Energized yet calm at the same time. Maybe I really did sweat out all of the negative vibes for the day (*shrugs*). I was happy to see a traditional free weights area with rack, so you could do extra exercises if you wanted to. The gym is 24 hours (not staffed the whole time, but members have access), which is definitely a nice perk, and the price is really reasonable (only $60/month for a basic membership). There are gyms with fewer amenities that charge that much, and this place was super nice. I would definitely go again and try a different workout, and would even consider this as a primary gym membership option.

I'm updating my review, and upgrading to five stars, in light of my six months as a very active -…read moreand very satisfied - member. This is a small fitness center which specializes in sauna workouts. Most of the space in this gym consists of actual saunas (although the weight-training area is quite well-appointed). There are two types of workout sessions that can go on in the saunas: isometric workouts like yoga and Pilates ("Hot Yoga", "Hot Warrior", etc.), and cardio workouts like exercise bike routines and rowing machine routines ("Hot Cycle", "Hot Thunder", etc.). Each sauna has a monitor with a virtual fitness instructor coaching you through a specific, well thought out session. Because these workout sessions are in for-real-hot saunas, they are INTENSE. But also for that reason, they are shorter than a normal comparable workout. You get more workout in less time, and the heat negates the need for extended pre-workout stretches. This is literally the only gym membership that has ever worked for me. I have visibly lost weight and my overall health and energy level have improved dramatically. Every other time I've tried a workout regime, it was always tempting to find excuses not to do it. But I am always excited for my Hotworx sessions. I look forward to my scheduled sessions and I always feel energized afterward. (Maybe not RIGHT afterward because at the end of the session I am an absolute mess... but that's how I know I'm doing it right!) These workouts are challenging, every time, but they are just doable enough that I know I'll be able to get through it. And there are modifications you can make to fit your abilities for each program, so if it seems impossible, make an adjustment that works for you. I have more details in my original review, and also I've left several tips in that section of the app. But after six months and probably about a hundred sessions, I can attest that Hotworx delivers on its promise, and I am a healthier and happier person than I was six months ago.

They communicate well and will work with you on whatever you need. 180 has fabulous trainers who really get to know the class participants. They figure out what YOU need from them whether it is encouragement, pressure to push yourself harder or just simple instruction. They keep the workouts fresh and new so you don't ever get bored. The exercises are varied and include kettlebells, ropes, TRX, and a large variety of other tasks. The best part is the sense of community at the gym. The other participants as well as the trainers support each other and offer the best reinforcement you can get. If you miss a class, they welcome you back and you truly feel accepted. 180 Kettlebells is the only gym I have been able to stick with. I attend 3-4 times a week and truly miss it if I don't. I highly recommend giving it a try. Don't give up the first week because I can guarantee you will be sore! (in a good way)

The workouts are great, and modifiable since we are more than a bit out of shape. There is a lot of variety to the workouts and exercises that keep things challenging and interesting.

We were a little nervous after hearing mixed reviews for the last few years about Crossfit -- some people think it's dangerous and others think it's the best thing ever! I can see how, based on what gym you go to, your idea may lean closer to one versus the other. Mi5 started us off with a 1 week free trial where we sampled several different classes! Endurance, Barbell Club, FIT, and Strength and Sweat! All of them with a very different purpose & stimulus. As an individual who needs to modify quite a few movements, I have ALWAYS felt like I had a place at Mi5 and never was looked at differently because I changed a movement or needed to do something a bit differently or with a lighter weight. Additionally, the coaches are PHENOMINAL! They help you to come up with modifications for a workout if you are injured, have not progressed to that movement yet, or just don't feel comfortable doing it! Even when I'm attending for Open Gym, if there's a coach around & I have a question about a movement, they are always willing to take the time to have a conversation about that specific movement, general gym goals, or just to hang out and chat! We're extremely glad we joined and are very grateful for this community!

"Define your strong" is not just a slogan - the trainers at Bodies by Burgoon really work with everyone to help them reach whatever goals they want to achieve.

It also provides an accessible alternative to a one-on-one approach without sacrificing the tailoring in your program. There is no pressure or expectations related to your looks - this place is all about helping you feel confident and finding strength in the ways that matter to you. It is clear that Jason is passionate about helping people be their best selves. He approaches every session with a team mindset and makes it clear that you're not on this journey alone.

You're not going to find anyone else that matches his knowledge, passion, and genuine love and kindness that he shows all his clients.

Jason has curated a special place that anyone, regardless of skill or experience level, are welcome and celebrated. He makes it a high priority to keep it this way, ensure gym goers never have to worry about being judged or bullied. Unlike traditional gyms, or even traditional gym group classes, you come in and work along with anywhere from 1-3 others to as many 6-7, but all focusing on your own individual workout. Jason seamlessly bounces around the gym space, directly and helping where he's needed. All this, and the rates are extremely affordable and generous. Jason treats this clients as people first and profit second, which is something I've never experienced elsewhere. Cannot recommend Jason enough, he and his gym are the gold standard!

However, when I looked at the schedule there are limited options. Unfortunately, only evenings (after 4pm) work for me and this location only has 3 options and those are basically full. If you work from home or not at all you will have lots of options. So sad. My mission is to try new things and go places i decided to try pilates reformer. I didn't know what to expect but I was excited because this was going to be different than floor pilates. I went to the 30min intro class to just try it out. We got some introduction and hopped on. The resistance was super easy, but what I didn't know is I would feel it later, lol. Dana was so great and because of her I'm considering the 8 pack/month pass. The manager was welcoming and they don't pressure you at the end of class to sign up. The class speaks for itself. If you've ever wanted to try reformer go to this location when Dana is teaching for the free (can't beat free) intro class.
