I recently joined fit4mom QC, and it has completely changed my views on fitness in motherhood…read more Before kids I had a very active fitness routine. Yoga, running, hiking, and soccer. When I had kids I couldn't seem to make it work like I use to. My lack of fitness hurt me physically and emotionally. I joined to try it out but didn't think my kids would be able to get through it regularly and they would be bored or fussy. But it turns out my 6mo, 4 year old, and even 6 year old (when he's on break!), really enjoy doing strides with me! Sometimes one of them has a fuss- but other moms are going through the same thing and there's so much support. So I have made it a routine and from there- got a running stroller to get back into running again, too. I'm able to run 4 miles now and on track to train for more. If your on the fence- try it! The coaches are awesome, the workouts make you sweat, it's fun for the kiddos, and you meet other mommy's with the same goals. It's awesome. I give it 5 stars!

They're also great about helping with form and offering modifications so you can push yourself safely. The studio is always clean and organized, and the front desk staff are friendly and welcoming every time I walk in. I also really like the heart rate tracking during class--it keeps the workout engaging and helps me stay accountable. It's such a positive environment and an amazing workout. I always leave feeling stronger and energized!

The manager Katy truly sets the tone for the entire studio always welcoming, organized, and clearly passionate about creating a positive environment for members. The coaches and front desk staff are just as incredible. They take the time to learn your name, encourage you during workouts, and make everyone feel comfortable no matter their fitness level. Every class feels motivating, supportive, and fun. You can tell the whole staff genuinely cares about the members and the community they're building. Because of them, Orangetheory has become one of the highlights of my routine. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a challenging workout and an encouraging team behind you!

This #ThankYouThursday review goes out to my local Burn Boot Camp, Gilbert East. I joined Burn in…read moreGeorgia in 2019 and haven't looked back. Prior to this, I went to a 'regular' gym with machines and weights. Burn is a combination of strength and high intensity interval training. However, they do not use machines; there are plenty of equipment such as free weights, bands, battle ropes, med balls, and more to help target every muscle group. Each camp is 45 minutes long and very challenging. I always leave sweaty and feeling good. Some days it takes me a while to get my heart rate down. There are several camp times offered throughout the day, Monday to Friday and three morning camp times on Saturdays. They are closed on Sundays. Burn Gilbert East has an amazing team. They are all friendly and supportive. I transferred to this gym over the summer and they made the transition very smooth. They welcomed me with open arms and treated me like I had been a member since day one. They learned my name quickly and greet me with a high five everytime I walk in. The trainers are very knowledgeable and will give you the right push to reach your potential. They will also make modifications if you have an injury but still want to participate. Focus meetings are included in the packages. The trainers will provide you a nutritional plan that's doable to help you achieve your goals. As a member, you also get free childcare and access to the private Facebook community group. There's always a fun challenge as well as specials throughout the year. I got started with Burn through one of their specials, a four-week trial for $99. I've been hooked ever since! I'm thankful for Burn Boot Camp Gilbert East today and everyday!

I wanted to wait a full 6 months to make an honest review. I didn't want to review something after…read morea few months. After all, you lose a lot of the water weight first, then the hard weight loss comes after. Before joining, I accepted the fact that being large & overweight was just going to be a way of life. This also took a toll on my self esteem and other aspects of my life. I had no desire to look in the mirror where I had to pre stretch my clothes for them to fit "better". Due to my weight at the time, I had to take medicine to control my acid reflux and blood pressure. Which also includes a few low blood sugar episodes (hypoglycemic) Then came my breaking point... I finally looked at myself in the mirror after years of a poor diet and zero excercise. Disappointed & disgusted in myself for letting me get so badly out of shape. My wife and I decided (after "bugging me" constantly) to start to get back into shape. We wanted to kickstart our weight loss and what better way than a trainer offering the first 4 weeks free (after a few waivers are signed). I can now say after 6 months of hard work, I have lost over 33 pounds, over 58 total inches, lost 3.8% body fat and 19 of those pounds were nothing but fat. I've lost almost 8 inches around my waist, 9 inches around my gut, 6 inches around my chest and hips. I can go on and on. Because of Jennifer, my clothes no longer need to be pre-stretched. no longer do I have to hold my breath to tie my shoes. No longer do I have to hope my button on my pants break loose. No longer do I have the desire to eat bad food. I was starting to wear XXXL shirts to hide my "fat feelings" now I can almost (depending on who makes it) wear a XL shirt. I still have a long way to go in my weight loss. I have made friends here that need the same thing and even though I will still come to My Perfect Body Now Boot Camp for years to come, I will never be able to thank Jennifer enough what what she's given me in just the short amount of time. She's given me my self esteem back, self confidence back, my waist line back . Just to name a few. But the absolutely best part is I no longer have to take any medications for blood pressure or acid reflux.

Today is my 6 month "fit-versary" with My Perfect Body Now Fitness Boot Camp, and I'm officially…read moredown 24 inches, 3.5 percent body fat, and in the best shape of my adult life...so far ;) I owe it all to Jennifer, the amazing owner/operator/instructor, and the many dedicated members who have inspired me to continue to reach my fitness goals. It's hard to put into words what an incredibly welcoming, positive and supportive environment it is. The workouts are challenging, fun, and do-able for ALL fitness levels. In the beginning I couldn't do all the reps (and sometimes I still can't!), but I've never feel pressured to push myself past my limits. Jennifer provides modifications to some of the more difficult exercises for beginners and she watches your form closely to prevent injuries, which is so very important. And did I mention the location is in a beautiful park setting where you get to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air? I may never exercise indoors again! I honestly can't say enough about Jennifer and her boot camp. Hands down, it was one of the best decisions I've made to improve my life and health. If you're thinking about joining, just do it! The first 4 weeks are free, so you have nothing to lose (besides maybe a few inches or pounds). Just show up each day with an open mind and a positive attitude, give it your best effort, and soon enough you will be amazed at what you can accomplish too!

Imagine this, on Sunday I went in the gym app with a very funky mindset determine to claim a spot in the yin yoga class so I could head to gym and do something different, focusing on wellbeing & breath. I thankfully noticed I was waitlisted because had I shown up I would be utterly embarrassed (on my mind) since I think i had signed up for a more advanced yoga class. Haha after that "failed" attempt into my new year, centered-me, I decided to start over on Monday. Monday came I got busy, never made it. Well, TODAY I walked into Mountainside like the boss (of me) and had an amazing workout, hit it up the weights, did some stretches also and I realized how much I have missed being consistent with my gym and my training. I love how clean mountainside always is, the colors around also are pleasing to the eye, great gym layout, cool people doing their thing, friendly staff, it is a very welcoming atmosphere that helps staying motivated. After my workout, I also managed to get a sauna session that is included in my membership. So, despite the unexpected plot twists of my early 2024 (and it is only 2nd week of the year!), I am so thankful for Mountainside for reminding me of my favorite cliches- "life is too short & health is wealth!" Here is to more unexpected twists and trips to mountainside to "pump some iron" and sustain the best version of myself! PS: Namaste with a side of laughter. :)
