Trainer Review: JR has been my trainer off and on through…read moremy health problems and there has never been a trainer( I have had a few) more accommodating nor as committed as he is. Unlike most trainers, he is committed to you reaching your goal and he won't break you to do it. He's works you hard but you always feel good after the workout! His positive attitude and good nature makes the session enjoyable. Definitely a motivator! So hard to find trainers committed to the person! He is truly a good find! He is not stuck on just the machines either. You might kickbox one day and then another jog along side you he next (although truth be known my "jogging" is jog for a little bit and then gasp for breath walking, repeat. Lol)

The circuit style training they do gave me great heavy lift options but offered modifications for each student depending on level and injuries. Would definitely come back here for another workout. Also worth mentioning, they have free childcare which is a big bonus considering that's an extra charge at a majority of other gyms.

Towards the end he had us all in a circle doing pelvic thrusts but called them pickle pounders... Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Would I bring my kids? Absolutely not. 10/10 would pickle pound here again.

My only complaints are: 1)…read morehe often changes his mind in the middle of the workout right when it's getting good. 2) one time I asked a couple clarifying questions and he got so mad he said he was never doing this again. Not sure what set him off, but the instructions weren't super clear and I wanted to be sure I followed them correctly. Must have been a heat of the moment comment bc luckily he's still at it. And the heart rate notification is an odd flex. Would probably increase to 4 or 5 stars if he hit the 30 corridor harder. Edit: adding 1 star b/c Flo personally reached out to me and scheduled a boot camp along hwy 30. That's character!

I found out about TF via Groupon. I had always wanted to try a boot camp, so I gave it a go. I'm in…read moremy second week now and I actually look forward to working out! that's a first for me... ever! The staff is quick to help; motivate and welcome you. Kim in the mornings is awesome! I look forward to working with her every day. Like a lot of the other reviews mention; I don't even feel like I've been there an hour; it goes by so fast! But the workouts are intense and are set up in a way that I always feel motivated to push myself. (More than I ever have before) I am happy to report that I am signing up for a year membership; as well as their 6 week body transformation that starts in a couple of weeks. (Nutrition based). If you haven't found a gym or program that works for you, I urge you to try TF for a month!

I first learned about Torched on Facebook. I was hesitant to get started but bit the bullet and…read moresigned up for a boot camp. WOW. I have belonged to several gyms over the years and they don't hold a candle to Torched. I went to 24 Hour Fitness for the hours but it didn't stick. I tried Club Fitness for the price but it was really intimidating and I wound up feeling lost and out of place the whole time. I gave up on gym life for a while but eventually was lured to Planet Fitness by their promise of a no judgement zone. Sure, I never felt judged but it also never felt like a gym. It was too easy to talk myself into biking for ten minutes then getting a massage. Eventually I wound up using it pretty much just for the tanning. So fast forward to the beginning of 2018 and I'm the heaviest I've ever been, looking at a rigorous work/school schedule, and trying to have a baby with my husband. I needed a change. So I signed up for Torched and had a sit down with Jeremy, the head dude. We talked about my goals and about where I had failed - nix that - where my gyms had failed me before. I bought his sales pitch and decided to try out the 6 week boot camp because, worst case scenario, it's only six weeks, right? DUDE. I was a little nervous the first day because I've never done this sort of pseudo-cross-fit-circuit-training type of thing before. The trainer, Daniel, was a star, though, and walked me through it step by step. The second day was easier, then the third, until suddenly I realize I'm three weeks in and I'm LOVING IT. I go at 5am and see pretty much the same people every week. I feel like I'm making friends - I look forward to seeing them and working out with a great group of people keeps me motivated to keep pushing forward when I'm tired and want to stop. Everyone I've met has been friendly and kind and motivated to work hard and do better. The trainer in the morning, Emily, is brilliant. I pulled a muscle and hurt my knee (not at the gym!) during the boot camp and she was right there with me during my workouts to make sure that I was taking care of my injuries while still getting the most out of my time. Well, sadly I didn't finish the boot camp, but for good reason. The last week I found out I'm pregnant! I sat down with Jeremy again and we talked it all through. He's super supportive and is dedicated to making sure that I can still have a safe, effective workout throughout my pregnancy. I signed up for a whole year! Never in my life did I ever think that *I* would love going to the gym (mostly because video games are amazing and pizza is like crack). I guess it took finding the right gym.

I'm not one to write negative reviews about any place but thought Id give my few cents worth. What I like is more one on one and a gym type of setting. Now don't get me wrong I don't like big gyms but rather smaller type of gyms. Anyway I wasn't impressed with these services.

In my opinion yoga is one of the not only exercise, but body practice that you can do for yourself. This is small studio. I have not yet figure out who owns the place, I just know that every instructor truly loves yoga, and loves this place. I have attended about 5 classes at different times and I yet to have the small teacher. Uptown yoga offers classes for beginners and chair yoga. They also offer more advance class. They do have odd hours, but I was handed a class card when I first signed up. They want you to be there, one class on Saturday. They have a 5 or 10 class card or unlimited classes. It is just a great place to practice yoga and make new friends I am honored to have made this my 500th review.
