I wanted to give it some time before formally reviewing Hope Fit VA. I started coming to Hope Fit when they first opened. I specifically came to break the monotony of my workouts at Onelife. I thought, what a perfect way to break the monotony than by doing something "fun" that is also a workout. Tada, enter "Bungee Fitness"!

I am typically an introvert with extroverted moments, so group fitness has never been my thing. However I must say this husband and wife duo (Quinton & Sary) know how to make you feel welcome and included.
Atmosphere - This place is clean! Crap isn't all over the place, there isn't a ton of people, or intimidating "meat heads" (sorry). Multiple bathrooms with showers. The bungee fitness is separate from the personal training side. Sary leads Bungee Fitness and Q does personal training on the other side. The choice of music while working out is perfect for me!

Service - "With a smile"! Sary engages everyone in her class. She truly wants to make sure you are getting what "you" intend to get from the class/workout. She is truly accommodating to everyone's needs. She passes out water when she sees you don't have any. It's not uncommon to see Q pop in to get some footage of the class. Sary isn't too serious, she's fun, bubbly and often laughing with the rest of the class, because let's face it... it's fun to bounce around.

Workout - The beginners class is truly achievable for all shapes, sizes, ages. They are even staring to include children 13 and up. Each person gets to choose how much effort and energy they're putting into their individual workouts. You will do jumping jacks, squats, burpees, knee flys, planks and jogging. If you're like me, you're a sucker for technique, and going "full out" as much as possible. It is totally up to you. Sary has recently took it up a notch by adding the use of weights and resistance bands. This addition to the class with double burpees, lunges, and sharpening everyone's techniques is so up my alley. I love to feel the burn, love to sweat, this is my type of workout.

Understand that if and when you start bungee fitness, you have to start somewhere. If you are a hardcore gym junkie adjust your expectations for the level 1 class, just enjoy and have fun. If you're anything like me, stick around and you will get to the more intense stuff. I like this type of workout "fun", and want to keep it incorporated into my weekly workouts.
Pricing - They are currently updating plans to accommodate number of classes per week/ month. Initially I got 10 classes for the month for $100, and couldn't get them all in. That's too many for me in one month.
Oh did I mention they give out discount cards for Krave, which is located next door? What are you waiting for?
