I would recommend Finneys to anyone for overall experience.

While all of the instructors there were solid, there was just something about Joey that really stood out. He's an incredibly down-to-earth, approachable person easy to talk to, easy to joke with, and someone who makes training feel comfortable without losing focus or structure. Whether we were drilling techniques, working judo throws, or talking between rounds, he always brought a positive and welcoming energy to the mats. As an instructor, Joey is very attentive and patient. He takes the time to work with everyone, breaks techniques down clearly, and makes sure people actually understand what they're doing. One thing I really respected was how aware he was of his students as people, not just training partners. While jiu-jitsu naturally comes with bumps and injuries and pushing through can be part of the process, Joey also understood that some injuries genuinely require time to heal. He paid attention when people were out, checked in on them, and made it clear that health and recovery mattered. I experienced that firsthand when I was injured he was quick to check in and ask how my recovery was going. That kind of awareness and care goes a long way and isn't something you always see. I also had the chance to train at another Gracie Barra location in Missouri where Joey's dad taught, and he was excellent as well. When his dad came to teach at the O'Fallon location, that same welcoming, disciplined, and supportive approach was clear. It's easy to see that strong values and teaching mindset run in the family. I'm genuinely excited to see Joey and his dad open their own academy in Shrewsbury. Knowing the kind of instructors and people they are, I have no doubt it's going to be an excellent place to train. Highly recommend.

I wanted to wait a bit after signing up to write this review to give this place a chance to prove…read moreitself to me as a client. I initially signed up for the free 30-minute class because I wanted to find out what Pilates is all about. I have been doing home workouts for years but read a lot of good things about how Pilates can improve posture, which eventually lessens back pain, etc. The instructor teaching the free 30-minute session was not the nicest. However, I really wanted to give it a try and didn't want that one experience to dissuade me, so I signed up for an 8 class a month membership. The first month was 20%, and then a full membership fee at $159 every month. You are only bound to a 3-month contract, and it goes month to month, which isn't bad, in my opinion. They do require a 30-day notice to cancel. I eventually upgraded to the unlimited package because it has been a struggle trying to get in a class at the studio. It's better than back in January when all the New Year's resolutioners were very active, but it can still be challenging signing up for classes. The unlimited allows you to sign up classes at other studios, which is great! It's $199 a month. The Crestwood studio is new and spacious with new equipment, high ceiling, and friendly staff. I, of course, have my favorite instructors, but I think most of them are fine. Now on to the classes. I am actually enjoying them way more than I initially thought. Also the reason why I upgraded my membership. Pilates has been a great addition to my workout routine, and I have found my favorite instructors. Learning spine alignment, body awareness, and being conscious of my breathing during exercise have been helping me with my other workouts as well. While Pilates is low impact, the overall benefits of the workout are quite surprising. I have been signing up for classes 4 times a week, and I have been noticing the difference. I look forward to the classes and am looking forward to some continued benefits from doing this workout. I'm glad I gave Pilates a try! Now I'm hooked. My rating is a 5 based on studio conditions, staff, and overall workout experiences I have had for the past 5 months. I know signing up for classes is still a challenge, and they are working on adding more, so give it time.
