Yesterday was my first visit to Temple Yoga Wellness Center. I attended the Yin Restorative class…read moreled by Serena that is 90 minutes and held once a month. The class had between 10-15 students, and I felt comfortable. Other students were helpful to make space for my mat and to make sure I had all the props I needed. Yes, they do have props available to borrow. Serena was very aware and noticed when I looked around for visual guidance. She casually gave the instruction that I needed... more than once. With an unlimited, short-term class pass that I bought, I will attend other class styles to find at least one regular class type that I like. I live within 15 minutes so am really glad to find something nearby.

It's also nice to lounge around & chat before leaving. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They also have yoga, cycling, and HIIT training. Each class is about$25-$30 for non members which is not bad considering all the perks. Bring grip socks.

Reformer pilates kicked my butt. I wonder who designed these intricate contraptions. My friend…read moreasked me if I wanted to do an easy or hard class, and I told her I wanted to do a hard one thinking it couldn't be that bad. I was wrong. The burn was unreal. It was a total body workout with a lot of lower body (incredibly painful), a good amount of abs, and some upper body at the end. My friend has the most basic membership that costs $145/month for 8 classes. This seems like a reasonable price for group classes. The studio has other kinds of classes too, like spin, yoga, and HIIT. The instructor was nice, and she explained how to use the reformer. She came to correct and assist me a few times, which was helpful. One thing I struggled with was that there were no beginner modifications given at all. There were only normal options given with advanced modifications. It would have been nice to have the option to use a lower resistance or do an easier modification. While I know I could just adjust the resistance on my own, I would feel like I'm not following the instructions correctly by doing so. There was also no cooldown or stretch at the end of the class, which I am normally used to in fitness classes. Apparently it costs around $18 to buy a pair of grip socks on site. You can get a pack of three for $10 on Amazon, so I think this discrepancy is unreasonable. I understand that boutique studios want to sell boujee, high-quality gear, but they should at least have something affordable especially for the people who are just trying out their first class. I would much rather wear some used (but washed) loaner socks than pay that much for a "fancy" pair. I have heard about people not being aware they had to bring their own grip socks to class, so they were cajoled into buying socks at the studio.

This place doesn't seem so bad. I'm not used to being in a gym facility like this place as big as…read moreit is. I think it sucks you have to pay to swim here and I learned that their pool wasn't working well during the winter months something about the temperature wasn't working well. Anyways, my encounter with the staff has been good, no complaints. I haven't toured the entire facility but I've seen there's multiple rooms with lots of gym equipment, I'd love to hit the weight room one of these days but I'm pregnant right now, so that'll have to wait. Wish there was a vending machine here though, I'm not going to lie.

I'd love to give this gym a higher rating because it's my gym. I want to take pride in it…read more Unfortunately, the owners don't seem to take pride in it and I'm not sure I can make up for that. My favorite thing about this place is that it is so rarely busy. I really enjoy being able to try out new equipment without feeling self-conscious, having my pick of equipment, etc. I was once bouncing back and forth between the abductor and adductor and someone wanted to use one of them, I told them I was happy to just finish on one and then come back to the other and they said they'd do their next machine and come back. That doesn't happen at busier gyms. It is a very co-op feeling space and I love the camaraderie. I also love that it is open 24-7. I think that also makes it feel more like the space of those using the gym. It's kind of like our gym and we all love it. However, the gym is grimy. The machines are old. They are squeaky, outdated, and don't operate the same way machines do at newer gyms. The free weight section leaves something to be desired - give us some barbells with weight already on them, etc. It's got a really solid apartment gym vibe. It has the essentials. Is it ever cleaned? I'm not sure. I wipe down my machines after I use them. I don't dust the windowsills and it doesn't seem anyone else does either. I'll keep using this gym because it's the only actual gym I've found in Belton. The price is fine if you have 2 people. It's great if you have a family. If it were just me, I would be very unhappy paying the monthly rate compared to chain gyms in Temple, but the location can't be beat because again, it's the only gym in Belton. Also, since they seem to really want everyone to feel ownership in this gym, I'd love for them to take down the "Biden Sucks" flag as working out shouldn't be politicized. There are a lot of people in Belton with a lot of different beliefs, and very, very few people are arguing about politics at the gym. Let it be a gym for everyone.

I wanted somewhere that I would be challenged physically and would make friends. From the first conversation I had with Coach Ben, I knew 5 Hills CrossFit was that home. The programming is incredible, and you can tell that thought and strategy is put into each workout. The coaching during the workouts ensures that you are pushing yourself, but doing so with proper form and in a way that will be most beneficial to you. The coaches are ready with supplemental exercises and tips when you're struggling with a movement or if you want a little extra work on a specific area. And the community is like no other! People cheer each other on, talk to each other and there's no feeling of "being picked last in gym class" when it comes to partner workouts- everyone there wants everyone else to feel at home! I'm so thankful I found this gym and continue to look forward to being the best I can be with the coaching and the community!

I've been going here for about 2-3 months and here's all the pros and cons of the gym. Let's start…read morewith the bad, they got rusted equipment which is really outdated and some machines like the leg extension have the seat pointed up putting your knees at a weird angle. Along with this there's no air conditioning which is absolutely ridiculous since it's in Texas. Like in the summer it's 90-105 degrees outside and all they have is fans, if you want heat stroke you better come here. Along with that in the winter time which is coming right now. It was 40 degrees today and all they had for heating is closing the doors. Now the good parts, the bench press has its own little lift off for you which is nice, the deadlift area has a bar that holds the bar your using so you can take weight off or put some on. They have a-lot of cardio machines which is cool. And that's all the good I see from this gym. I almost forgot to mention that the benches here suck, they are cheap and small. Overall it's overpriced and awful
