I have been a Base patron for 9 years and just love this well-kept fully functional gym. All modern exercise equipment, saunas, classes, pristine lockers and the most amazing hospitable staff.

I joined ISF using their groupon, which is an amazing deal. Mike and Pasquale create a new and…read moredifferent workout each day. No two days are the same. They incorporate both weights and cardio for a total body workout. It's kind of like cross-fit but the workout is the actual full hour (rather than 20 minutes). If I were to offer one suggestion, although they give you time to stretch before and after the workout, it would be nice to be able to take a yoga / flexibility / stretching class as part of the membership there. Maybe like a once a week yoga class. They also have an easy to use app to check in to classes but they don't fill up so you don't need to reserve your spot well in advance. Most of the times I check in on the app on the way to the gym. It's a supportive environment and both Mike & Pasquale know everyone's name. I would have gotten a membership after my groupon expired but I'm moving out of state. But I highly encourage anyone to give it a try!

Mike and Pasquale (the two trainers that run this place) do an amazing job of kicking your butt…read morewhile also showing their utmost respect and care for you. I've only been going to Ideal for a few weeks but the trainers make each workout intense and worth your time and money. Ideal also has a community feel to it. A lot of the folks that workout here seem to get to know one another which can make the workout a lot more fun and challenging in my opinion. During the work out, you'll probably hate Mike and/or Pasquale. They challenge you and may even yell a little (not in mean way). Their boot camps consist of TRX, rowing, weightlifting, body weights, cardio (running, jumping, etc), free weights, outside activities, etc. Moreover, there are many different rotations of workouts they'll go through within the hour which makes it helpful to get a full-body workout. You'll definitely leave exhausted but happy you came. I also noticed that they tend to use the entire hour. Some places I've gone to only have you workout for about 45-50 min, however the guys at Ideal use the entire 60 min. You really get a good workout in that time. I've started at Ideal by using their Groupon deal but will definitely continue afterwards. This is one of the few boot-camp places that offer unlimited monthly boot-camps and for a price that I think is worth it. I can't recommend this place enough. I love it.

I've been working out with Coach Tuohy and the other trainers at X-tra Mile for a few years, and I…read morethink it's a great place to train, if you're looking for intensity, variety and some really nice people. I've seen them training school-aged and college athletes, soccer moms, pudgy dads, Spartan-racers and everything in between. I do "bootcamp" 5-6 times per week, which is a one-hour, high intensity butt-kicking that can include anything from chin-ups and pushups to tire-flipping and sledgehammers. And squats. Lots of squats. The workouts are flexible and scalable depending on the individual's needs, so a wide range of people can work out together. The trainers all do a great job of understanding the needs of the athletes, and keeping the workouts varied so it doesn't get boring or repetitive. There's great camaraderie among the boot camp crew, and we occasionally go to happy hour at the Riverside Inn, so there's that too.

What I love most about this gym is it's not just your standard, commercial gym.
