The classes tend to be a mix of different skill levels so you can actually see people that are really good. The more skilled fighters are always more than happy to teach me how to do things correctly. Overall, everyone's very welcoming and encouraging. If you like boring, monotonous, mindless workouts this place is not for you. You should totally check it out if you want to have a good time learning how to kick ass (mean while getting your ass kicked). The first week they'll train you for free so you can see if you like it.

One of the fighters just went into a fight with a broken ankle. It's not woman-owned. The owner, who isn't a woman, likes yelling at women too much. There's a cringe-inducing lack of emotional self-regulation and a lot of blameshifting in the form of lengthy e-mail blasts. Most of what I learned in the class, I had to unlearn over the $2000 trip to Thailand -- the mother gym, Sidyodtong, offers the same trip for half the price. All I know about my missing thousand dollars is that it didn't go into nutrition, recovery, mobility, or exercise science training for the instructors. It's a con. Steer clear.

I have found the environment to be very encouraging and supportive of my development. I think that comes from the top down - Phil sets a great example of professionalism and respectfulness. Balance has a wide variety of classes in multiple disciplines, and there's also a good mix of competition-focused students and hobbyists, so there's something for everyone. Speaking to the experience of being a woman in a male-dominated sport, I've found the atmosphere at Balance to be very inclusive to women and considerate of the unique challenges that we experience. I've consistently been treated as an equal member of the team.

A TON of group fitness classes if you're into that including free reformer Pilates classes (if you can get in.) Issues (that are unacceptable in general or just completely insane to have at the membership price point...these are things you deal with a budget gym or someplace you go for free): Constant elevator issues which cause lines and long wait times during peak hours. And for the last 6+ months they've only had two of three functioning if that. You know it's an issue, fix it for goodness sakes. Good luck if you rely on parking here. The entrance are closed half the time causing you to have to detour for a good ten plus minutes to get in and then exiting you're stuck behind trucks delivering in the alley they've left "open" for you to get out. And yes the validate but they randomly increased the price from $11 to $12 one day. Not a huge deal but why not tell members in advance? It's just sloppy. The sound systems are suboptimal for group classes especially in the HIIT studio. It is a vibe killer for sure. The spa that we were promising was coming soon when we joined in November of 2023 is still nowhere to be found. The locker rooms are adequately maintained but there are so many privacy issues. Often there are signs that there will be men working in the women's locker room. And the phone use is NUTS. People are on video conference calls! How is this allowed?? The cafe hours stink for early birds. If I'm done with my workout before 7am and I want coffee, I'm SOL. It's also insanely expensive. I cannot speak for the food there because I won't eat it after I saw a mouse in the cafe area while I was working from there one day. Treadmills are constantly broken. They added a bunch and now there's somehow less available because they cannot seem to maintain them. Out of service for a day or two is one thing but it goes way longer than that. Good luck and Godspeed accessing an assault bike or a ski erg between 10:15 and 2pm on weekdays. They're fully monopolized by the turf class and the HIIT studio is used for classes including mat Pilates (??) Generally speaking maintenance seems to be an issue. A pedal was hanging off one of the two assault bikes on the main floor this week when I was using it. A tread was sticking a few weeks ago when I started to run on it. I couldn't strap my foot into a rower the other day. It doesn't seem like it would be too much to ask that they keep their eye on this. I do feel like it used to be under control but had fallen off a cliff recently. Too many people here are shooting footage for social media. I cannot complete a workout without being concerned I'm in the background of someone's selfie-video or photo shoot. Hotel guests have full access to the gym. It adds to the insane crowds on the weekend and needs to get in check. Many of the trainers and instructors are great but a handful of trainers that either do personal training or turf classes are flat out RUDE. I was treated disrespectfully and even bullied by one of them while minding my own business just trying to complete my workout. This is embarrassing for the gym and needs to be addressed. Ultimately, I could no longer justify being a paying member with so little care shown by management about the member experience. Perhaps spending less time posting less on social media and more time listening to an addressing member feedback would be helpful.

There's a lot about this gym that's phenomenal, but the phone use in the locker room and sauna…read moredrags this place way down. This is a serious privacy violation, whether someone is intentionally taking pics not. (Sometimes they are taking pics.) Most people have camera permissions enabled on their phones for lots of apps. A sauna or locker room is a place where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, but the phone use means you do not have privacy here. It gets worse: the same people using their phones in the sauna are usually the ones who wear their dirty socks and gym clothes in there (sometimes even their sneakers), and you can even tell when it's empty, because the wooden benches are dirty from it. Gross. This isn't an occasional problem with only a few offenders. If you walk past the sauna (it has a glass door) you'll often see 4+ people in there scrolling their phones. The gym does have a couple of signs telling people not to do either of these things, but the signs are ignored. At $200 per month, this is considered a high end gym. The other high end gyms (Fitler, Equinox) in this area don't have the same problems, so I don't know what's going on here. I guess someone started doing it, no one stopped them, and now others see this and think it's ok? This is a shame because the equipment here is good, there are tons of great classes, and the space overall is very nice.

I did just that and now, after about 3 months of doing the kickboxing class, I'm hooked! He offers lots of classes during the weekdays and on Saturdays. The teaching mentality is very focused on learning the fundamentals first before moving into advanced moves, which seems to be very successful among the participants. I would highly recommend giving Don a call if you're interested in learning martial arts, kickboxing, or jiu-jitsu.
