When I tell you that Blue Ocean has changed my life, I really mean it…read more My two closest friends started working out here a couple of years ago, and after finally giving in to peer pressure, I decided to give it a shot last January. I'm coming up on my one year mark and I can honestly say it has been one of the best things I've ever done for myself! I never felt great about any gyms I've belonged to in the past. I'm not a huge group class person, and personal training has always been $$$$$. Enter: semi-personal training! Basically, each of the trainers here has a few clients at one time, but it still feels, well... personal. You get your own workout, there are just others around you doing theirs, and it actually adds a fun element of community at the same time. Instead of working out so hard that you can barely walk the next morning, the approach here is more reasonable and based on intentional repetition vs. killing yourself. I typically do three circuits made up of 3-4 exercises, 3-4 times each. My muscle growth has been slow but extremely consistent, and I'm finally seeing the exact results I've always wanted. Working out three times per week at Blue Ocean has kept me feeling so strong and healthy. As a bonus, when I have to travel for work, I can pause my membership--and they even give me workouts to do on the road. The trainers are fantastic people, and the clientele is great, too. I look forward to belonging to Blue Ocean for a long time!

Had an issues with getting a partial refund when my known health issues by the owner for the majority of sessions I could not attend per Doctor's owners. No written agreement on either side.

Disappointed in no compromise given this unfortunate set of circumstances, especially when it comes to health issues that were noted by the owner upon intake.

Here's the skinny people (no pun intended!). I scoped Red out from afar not sure what this place…read morewas all about. I decided to take the plunge, sent in my email about a month ago. Pathetically expressing my need for truly working out and admitting I'm a cardio person but lack in strength endurance. My motivation was the cruise I am leaving for in just a few days. For the last several weeks I've arrived for my training sessions with Brian ready to sweat. I tried the (3) personal one on one's and then opted for the 10 sessions with small group. Brian is educated and knowledgeable; this is not a high school boy training you at Club Fitness. Brian's dedication to health and wellness is apparent as he helps me and hopefully you, to understand your goals! He does have a background in the medical field, so rest assure he won't over extend your bodies potential. When I first started at Red, I was nervous and intimidated. Not that I'm abnormally overweight or unhealthy but I knew that I was going to be facing some fears of pushing my limits. And since working with Brian, I've taken up running, 2 miles a few times a week. I am even more aware of what I eat and how much I eat. I believe that the financial investment into my body and wellness is a driving factor in waking up while on vacation to run and workout! I have to now talk about Red, the Fitness Lounge. It's beautifully coated in red paint with black accents and my favorite part the chandelier! Oh and the bathroom, it's huge and nicely decorated and smells good. And they don't use that industrial style hand soap; it's the nice smelling stuff. Ok, back to the gym... The equipment is all nice and well kept and the towels are on them, so just bring you H2O! You won't find a treadmill or an elliptical here, but you will find the stair climber, eeek! It burns, but in a good way! Now before making a commitment I did some research on Jamie, he's the owner. Let's just say this isn't Jamie's first rodeo with a gym or training people. Jamie is often in the gym or shall I say lounge when I am there, he's really a nice guy, funny too. Ask him to play your favorite 80's workout and he might bust a move. All in all I have experienced physical fitness that's worthwhile and fun. If you are thinking of starting a weightless plan, maybe want to tone up like I do, or you have another goal in mind. Don't hesitate!! Try it out, start slow and sample the trial they offer. If it's not for you then no worries, but if you truly want to be fit, you will be back!! The one thing that intrigued me was something I read on a posting by Jamie.... It was something to the effect of it takes 4 weeks for you to notice, 8 for others and 12 for everyone. I wanted to see how great I could look in 12 weeks! :) And then keep going! :) So, who wants to join me???

Sketchy parking lot.my trainer didn't allow sessions to roll over so if you were out of town, you'd have to agree on another time to come in and sometimes it just didn't work out or you came in while he was training 2-3 other ppl. Waste of time.

I typically don't review places besides restaurants but Dragonfly is such a huge part of my life…read morenow, I couldn't resist! I've been going to Dragonfly for about 2 months now. The atmosphere, community, and workouts are all fantastic. There are several options of membership but I'm on the 6 months unlimited classes. Considering I go 5-6 times a week, it is well worth it!! There's a great range of classes for strength training, and my go-tos are TRX, CardioStrong, and Lift. The trainers are great, and with their upcoming move to a new location, more trainers are in the works. This is a women's only gym so you never feel judged or uncomfortable, and since everyone's ages and fitness levels range, everyone is incredibly supportive. People are friendly and will always encourage you! My personal fitness level has drastically improved, with small changes like increased flexibility, to big changes like more energy during workouts and way more strength. This is the best decision I've made in years, and I truly encourage you to check out Dragonfly, you won't regret it!

Used to be a loyal member here -- over a year strong. The energy was great, the coaches (shoutout…read moreto Janise and Dan!) actually coached, and I left class sweaty, sore, and satisfied. So I decided to come back. Get my mind right. Get my body right. Step back into that early morning glory. And... immediately regretted it. Let me set the scene: One coach. No mic. No form correction. No encouragement. No presence. She introduced the stations, then went off-grid like she had somewhere else to be. I watched people literally coaching each other mid-workout -- not for fun, but out of confusion and concern. Someone almost got hit by a weight. I wish I were exaggerating. It was giving: "You got it, girl!" but in the way people say it when you don't got it and they're just hoping for the best. This is not the F45 experience I knew -- and not the one that keeps people paying boutique prices. This was a self-guided tour through chaos, with vibes but no supervision. Like an escape room... with dumbbells. What happened to the two-coach model? The accountability? The energy? This isn't just about convenience -- it's about safety, quality, and the entire point of going to a class instead of winging it in your living room. No shade to the coach -- this feels like a systems issue. And judging from the whispers during class and in the parking lot after -- I'm not the only one noticing. If things ever shift back to real coaching, energy, and safety, I'd love to return. But right now, it's not giving what it used to give -- and I hope whoever's running things sees that before more members walk away
