In February my father had a hip replacement, and about 5 weeks ago in September he had a full knee replacement on the opposite leg. He is an avid cyclist, and in good shape (thanks to Donny), but he is now also 74 years old. With the support of this trainer, who works specifically with seniors or nearing that stage in life (though he is still incredible with others like me too!!!) Dad is back on the road 5 weeks post op, riding his bike, and more (should I mention he was on the roof, or driving 3 weeks sooner than he should have been?) Seriously folks, if it were not for Donny's guidance, Dad would never have been able to get through this as well as he has, and in all honesty...he probably would have had to have the surgeries sooner, and also backed off of a sport he is passionate about. Now he is hoping to even run his first 5k and do "at least" a sprint distance triathlon. Donny Thompson may not be a magician, but he truly is amazing to me and my family for the work he has done with my father through the years. Thank you....

I've been working out with Rah for years and truly believe there's no one better. He's incredibly knowledgeable and well versed in both training and nutrition. He knows how and when to push me and each session throws something new at me to keep me on my toes. Can't recommend working out at IHP highly enough!

I've been working out at VASA for a few months now and this is my honest review. The gym itself…read morehas great equipment and everything you would need to get a great workout in. The hours are extremely flexible being open from 4am-12am most days of the week and I really love that they have a big kids club for parents to be able to have childcare during their workouts. All the staff I've interacted with have always been very polite. Now for the not so good. Most hours of the day, this place is crowded. Certain machines that are extremely popular are very hard to get access to which requires me to wait around for the machine I need. I also get approached numerous times by people asking me how many sets I have left or if they can work in with me. There are a lot of people in their late teens/very early 20s that use this gym as a social club. They will utilize the machines together and stay on for over 30 minutes not allowing other members to have a turn. A lot of people do not wipe their equipment and there seems to be no signage or enforcement to encourage people to do so. I have also noticed that weights don't get put back in the correct spaces or at all in some cases with a few wobbly weight benches and divots in the floors next to the weight racks that you can easily trip in. I love the recovery room and red light therapy but I really wish that yoga was a part of the regular membership instead of requiring an upgrade. The locker room doesn't provide hair dryers, towels or any hygienic items as other gyms do. I'm continuing to use Vasa as of now, but I'm keeping my options open for other gyms in the area that would be less crowded.

Then proceeds to hit on her younger sister who's 16. He may still be there since the GM Brian stood by his side even after i submit complaints to him and my PT at the time, Dan. i think the assistant manager Nicole started hiring even younger girls too. Also the PT Andrea has her kid in tae kwon do and learning about asian culture and yet liked to repress and oppress me for singing or expressing myself through YouTube content. Koreans are loud and expressive people, we've been oppressed for it for centuries. Cultural appropriation much. I wonder if this review will even be published with all the censorship going on

I gave them a call and started working out with them. I work out with Katie, but have also had Bill, the owner, when Katie wasn't available. I'm so happy I found them! They take Covid seriously. Everyone washed their hands before and after a workout; masks required; no more than two clients allowed at a time. They do "cadence counting" for each exercise... and boy do my muscles get a thorough workout each and every session. They recently bought some new machines from the place that was closing. So I like their new set up and find each machine effective. Great staff, great facility, great workout...

This business is a personal training facility for the Super Slow strength training practice…read more As far as the facility is concerned, it's nothing fancy and pretty and all that jazz, which is how it should be. Machines are all in good working condition and get the job done. The machines are also situated in a manner so that you are not concerned with those who may be around you. In front of you is a wall with a focus point, not another person for you to critiques or check out. The trainers seem to know their shit and get it done while working with you to cater to your style of training and push you to your personal abilities. If you have an injury keeping you out of the gym or are interested in the method of strength training, head over there and check them out. This review is strictly towards the facility and staff. NOT the training style or comparison of other super slow facilities.
