I'm a member at Hourglass Women's Wellness in White Plains and really enjoy the experience and am…read morehappy I joined! The gym is always clean, well-maintained, and offers a range of services like a large fitness area with tons of cardio machines, weights, and strength training equipment, two bathrooms & lockerrooms, and saunas (my favorite to do after class), and variety of classes. Plus there optional add-ons at $ to enhance your wellness routine. There is also a hair salon, nail salon, and smoothie area, daycare, and more to meet women's needs.
My favorite classes are Monday's Core & More and Thursday's Body Shred Bootcamp led by Sam. She brings the kind of energy and intensity I've experienced at top NYC studios and is incredibly kind and relatable. If you need to make adjustments to the workouts, she's always willing to help and accommodate. Her classes have upbeat music and a motivating atmosphere. Sam's positivity, energy, and engaging style make each workout fun and challenging, which is what I'm looking for. I've noticed a big difference since taking her classes and look forward to them every week.
Jessy's yoga classes are another highlight, providing a peaceful, calming experience that's perfect for unwinding.
Enilida also leads some good HIIT and bootcamp classes as well, plus I believe belly dancing has been added for a fee, which is cool. My minor recommendation for an opportunity to improve would be to balance the class instruction in both English and Spanish (including the music) so it resonates with all attendees, as most of the class is currently in Spanish. A slightly faster pace might help it feel more like a focused workout, as it can sometimes lean towards feeling like a social hour for some. Regardless, I've still gotten a good workout and appreciate that she's very nice, kind, and funny.
I still need to try some of the other classes like cycling and Wednesday bootcamp. There is a lot of Zumba too (like everyday) for this who like that, personally it's not my preferred style as I lean towards high intensity, Bootcamp type classes. It'd be great if at some point the team considered adding boxing/kickboxing class or just a boxing bag to the floor (since it's noted on the website). They also offer hot yoga and a few other classes at cost. Hot HITT could be fun too!
Overall, it's a fantastic all-women's gym. The current membership skews a bit older (Gen-X, Boomer) and there's nothing wrong with that, but there's great potential to attract a younger crowd (Millennials like me & Gen-Z) as well through the type of classes. Highly recommend Hourglass Wellness for women looking for a supportive and fun workout environment. Staff are very nice at the front desk and all the trainers so far that I've worked with have been awesome. Thanks team!
