Highlights/Lowlights…read more 1) tough workouts 2) some really friendly staff 3) deals available on groupon occasionally We did the groupon for two which was an incredible deal! We thought the groupon was for a six week membership to the gym, however upon arriving for our consultation we found out that it was actually just for the boot camp classes. Th boot camp classes are offered 4-ish times per week. The staff person who helped us out at our consultation (required) was just ok. Not overly friendly and seemed annoyed by the questions I was asking. However, the trainer who led our classes during our short membership at Monkey Bar was great! She really pushed all of us to do our best while maintaining great form. The classes themselves are really challenging but a great work out! The workouts change so you only do the same workout 2X per 4-6 week period. I know that sans groupon Monkey Bar is pricy. Unfortunately we found that the gym equipment wasn't super nice and the space itself could use a refresh. Good workout by quite pricy compared to what you would get from other gyms in the area for the same price. Overall, definitely worth a try but maybe try and find a deal to see if you like it first!

I bought the groupon for Monkey Bar Gym and I was extremely nervous (as I am not a particularly fit…read moreperson), and now I am definitely going to get a membership. When you first sign up they require you to come in for an initial consultation. They will show you around and give you information about how the classes work and what to expect etc. This is a great time to ask any questions you may have and learn how the facility runs so you don't feel so lost on the first day. The trainers recommend a plant-strong diet and encourage all participants to log their workouts. I had my initial consultation with Raquel. She was amazingly helpful, and encouraging. It was nice to know one of the instructors before I had even taken a class! They post the daily workout on a whiteboard so you can check it out before class starts. They also have a binder that has all the workouts for the month, if you like to look further ahead. The workouts change all the time so you're never bored. Monkey Bar does a wonderful job of explaining/modeling how to do each exercise. They make it a point to go over every exercise you will be doing before participants begin the workout. The whiteboard also has a section that is divided into "stability" "strength" and "power". Here they have suggestions for modifications/challenges for participants who want to tailor their workout. The trainers are always helpful when it comes to finding an alternate exercise. The trainers and members at Monkey Bar are very friendly. They ask you to get with a partner for some exercises and I have had no trouble finding a partner and striking up a friendly conversation with them. Members often say encouraging things to one-another during the workouts as well. One day after the workout I was getting a drink and a man (who I believe is an owner, or at least another trainer I hadn't met) asked me if I had recently joined. I told him yes and he enthusiastically welcomed me. Overall, Monkey Bar is great. The workouts can be very intense but I always feel invigorated afterward. Great experience! :)

Just started this week and I love it so far. (I waited until after today's workout session to write…read morethis review instead of before just to make sure!!!) The 30 minute sessions go by so fast because there is such great variety, which is what I need because I get bored with the same old routine day after day. The app they use to sign up for sessions is great. I like being able to sign up ahead of time so easily. You can have the app add it to your calendar right away too. There's another app to be able to weigh in and create goals. Facebook groups for encouragement and to cry on each other's shoulders if you need it. So many great and convenient tools. The instructors and several of the other boot campers are so friendly and encouraging. The instructors do a great job of offering modifications to the day's exercises to suit your ability, which mine is certainly lacking. . .for now. I can't believe I was actually looking forward to hitting today's session and am still looking forward to my next one. Can't wait to see my progress six weeks in. I'll update this review then.

They give a great pitch, and I'm sure their programs work for the people in them. What I can't get…read morebehind, however, is the way they get people in the door. They offer you a six-week free program and get you excited to change your life by helping you drop 20 pounds or 5% body fat, and then ask you for a $400 deposit they'll return once you finish the program. So it's free, yes, but they want you to 'have some skin in the game.' They really just found a way to make their previous 18% six-week completion rates your problem. Of course you have 87% completion rates when you've passed the accountability buck off to the customer, so they have to choose between throwing away $400 or losing weight.
