This book completely changed the way I look at training. Before reading it, I realized I had been…read moreapproaching my workouts all wrong--focusing on the wrong lifts and not really understanding how they translated to performance on the field. This book broke everything down clearly and showed me how to train the right way for baseball, not just to "get stronger" in the gym. Another huge takeaway was nutrition. I thought I had a decent idea of how to eat, but I wasn't fueling myself properly for peak performance. The strategies in this book made it simple to understand what to eat, when to eat, and how to recover the right way. The section on mental training was also eye-opening. I had been neglecting the mental side of the game, and this book gave me the tools to approach practice, competition, and even setbacks with the right mindset. There's a ton of practical information in here--specific training programs and step-by-step guidance--that makes it easy to put into action and see results quickly. My only regret is not finding this book sooner. Thank you so much for putting together such a valuable resource for baseball players.

It's not cheap, but it's life-changing…read more I'll be honest, Pilates lessons are my biggest expense after rent and my student loans. But the amount my body has changed since I began lessons here a year and a half ago has convinced me that classical Pilates is entirely worthwhile. My athletic background is mostly running and gym workouts, but I'm on my feet all day, and so I was interested in improving my posture to avoid back problems down the road. My back was extremely arched, and I was starting to have problems after I walked for long distances. I work mostly with Adrianna, but I've worked with pretty much everyone in the studio. The newer instructors are sometimes a gamble, but it really depends on what you're looking for in a workout. Don't write the studio off just because you don't get good vibes from your first instructor. I prefer Adrianna because she's committed to Joseph Pilates' vision in its purest form, without all the frills and fancy stuff. I also enjoy working with Regina, Clare, Sara(h?), and Chris. I need to point out that I was anxious to start Pilates because I was worried the studio would be populated with stick-thin, beautiful, pretentious, rich former dancers and trophy wives. There are a few, but most people are down-to-earth and average. Because you work with mostly the same people each week, getting to know the folks I work out with has been one of my favorite parts of Pilates. After you start with a few private sessions, you can move on to semi-privates and mat classes. I stayed with privates for quite a while, and I'm glad I did because I feel like I have a much better grasp on the reasons behind why the exercises are performed the way they are. I also feel much more independent in my semi-privates and mat classes, which gives me more bang for my buck and makes up for the initial money-sink. The front desk staff is generally friendly, and their bookkeeping/scheduling is always spot on. On a practical note, their facilities are clean and the showers are helpful for when I'm done with my morning or pre-dinner classes! I've also done Pilates at various studios in Michigan and Hawaii, and I would strongly recommend that even if you don't come to Metropolitan Pilates, you look into a classical Pilates studio. Enjoy, and don't be afraid to get started!

I know Pilates is popular but I was never one that wanted to do DVDs. If I was going to try this I want to use those reformer machines that sort of look like torture devices. My chance came when my mom and I were at a silent auction. Nothing offered sparked either of our interest then I saw a three private lessons package and begged my mom to bid on it. To my delight she won. Soon I was on my way to strengthening and lengthening my body. I had to leave a message to make an appointment but was immediately called back. I didn't have an instructor preference since I had never been there before and with the time and date that worked for me Kelsi ended up being the instructor I was paired with. Metropolitan Pilates is located in University Village next to the Gene Juarez salon. It is open and airy, clean, and bright. The front desk woman was very nice and pointed me in the direction of the locker room. Towels and a hair dryer are provided in the locker room and locks are there for your convenience. After I dropped off my things I made my way to the waiting area. Kelsi, with a genuine smile and a hand extended, met me. We immediately got on the machines. Kelsi was patient with me as I typically run, lift weights, and do boot camp classes which is the complete opposite of this regime and I found it hard, at first, to utilize different parts of my body to do moves I had one before. Lots of extensions and leg lifts and bending and rolling and slowly engaging muscles. All fun and harder than they looked but the challenge was worth it. Every time I left my session with Kelsi I stood a little taller and my muscles were stretched and longer. Although I wasn't sweating buckets or panting uncontrollably I felt that I got a great work out just a different type which I later realized, my body desperately needed. I recommend Metropolitan Pilates to anyone. The studio is lovely the staff is friendly, encouraging, and knowledgeable. I had a great experience and I hope to come back soon!

Lets just say I have a lot of credit to burn through with BP but now thinking about it, its not a…read morebad thing honestly as BP has many locations across the country. I was up in Seattle for work and came in one evening to climb while in town. I was doing a bunch of other things and didnt get in to climb until about 10 before 9pm. That gave me only 1 hour 10 min to climb. I wish they stayed open to 11pm as there were still a bunch of people here climbing close to the end! One of my gripes with BP is that they make you complete a liability waiver at each BP location you go to so that gets pretty annoying. Ive been to the BP in Brooklyn (not my favorite), Tempe, DC (pretty good), SLC (huge space and great to climb) and now here at this location and each time, had to complete the waiver. This purely bouldering gym is great. I like that the entire gym is for bouldering and no need to share with climbers on rope. Nothing against them, just like a bouldering only gym. So much stuff to climb here as there are two floors for bouldering. The routes are a bit easier than other BPs but still very fun. They also have sauna and cold plunge here but didnt get to try it. I will be back next time to check this out! There is street parking here, so while not the best parking, its not too bad. Day passes are $30 so not cheap but pretty worth it. Next time I plan to stay here for awhile. Great climbing experience here and an hour was not enough, I need like 2 or 3 hours honestly. Ill be back again when Im in town!

Hottest bouldering gym in Union District…read more ________________________ Top 3's: - Free day pass with shoe rentals included - Two floors of climbing terrain - Great hangout area with charging stations Low 3's: - So crowded - Service is alright - Gets super loud inside Overall: 3.7 Ambiance: 3.0 | Service: 3.0 | Value: 5.0 ________________________ This is the spot if you want to see what the climbing hype is all about in Union District. The free one-day pass (shoes included) makes it easy to test the waters. You sign waivers and check-in before climbing. The middle floor is the main climbing area with routes that range from beginner to rather difficult pretty quickly. The third floor offers another full course if you want more options and there's even a workout area up front for warm-ups. Free cubbies, complimentary chalk bags, and a solid hangout zone with charging ports and board games round out the amenities here. This place is mobbed however. Wall-to-wall college kids and young adults. Hard to find a safe spot to rest in between climbs. You have to give climbers space to fall, which can feel chaotic. Staff are mostly high schoolers. This place is best for first-timers wanting a free trial, groups looking for a high-energy scene, or anyone that seeks a social gym.
