There's more than meets the eye with this establishment. When I first researched But First, YOU…read moreLLC, I was looking at their therapy services. I then discovered that they offer so much more! But First, YOU identifies as a Family Wellness Boutique, and the name couldn't be more fitting. The owner has a PhD in Medical Family Therapy and offers mental and physical health services to adults, children, couples, and families. The mental health services of course include therapy. She then goes even further by offering fitness classes (she's also a coach!) such as spin and dance. Recently, she added infrared sauna therapy. Oh, and there's Reiki therapy healing too! As if that wasn't enough, she's also a doula and offers those services. Whew! I don't know when she sleeps! So far, I've tried the infrared sauna therapy, a spin class, and a dance class. SPIN CLASS - Oh my goodness! This was a major workout! I took a class that was taught/led by the owner. It was a Hip Hop Spin Class, and she had one of the BADDEST (as in awesome) mix-tape tapes I've ever heard. The tracks spanned from NWA to Meg Thee Stallion. It was HYPE! The instructor kept us motivated with her high energy and positive reinforcements. I love the way she incorporated cool downs after a few minutes of HIIT. She added some off-the-bike core work in there too. And she even has selfie stick stands for you to prop your phone and record your workout. She thought of everything! Again, GREAT workout! 10/10 would recommend. The ONLY downside is that spin class availability is limited to either 530am or 530pm, which I'm sure is perfect for the majority of the world who have a normal 9a-5p work schedule. INFRARED SAUNA THERAPY - Think hot box. You sit inside the sauna box (bigger than a phone booth; smaller than a bath house/ steam room), dressed to your comfort level and sweat away stress and water weight. It was a serene experience. The area felt like a spa room. There were candles, cucumber infused water, light snacks, fresh fruit, aromatherapy lotions, and music. I was even able to take a moment to meditate post the sauna therapy session. It was extremely relaxing and therapeutic. 10/10 would recommend. The prices were very reasonable for spin class and sauna therapy. I will definitely go back for more of each. Multi-class passes and monthly memberships are available for the spin classes. All of that information is on their website.

I grabbed a 5-pack membership at my home location before heading to STL for some family matters,…read morehoping to keep my routine going & honestly, it made such a difference. The team here was incredibly welcoming and supportive the entire time. Zach is definitely my favorite! Huge thanks for making me feel at home during my extended stay. And can we talk about the music?! Meg the stallion + Rihanna. I loved. The whole experience felt all-inclusive. I'm also officially in love with the Central West End--such a great vibe!

I started attending this location a few weeks ago, and in my opinion, the overall energy feels…read moredifferent from other studios. Typically, when you're considering joining, you're offered a free introductory class. My first interaction with the front desk was positive, but after that, my experience gradually declined. During my first class, Elena was the instructor. Another new member and I were both first-timers and had stations right next to each other. Elena checked on the other participant multiple times throughout the class but only checked on me at the very end. It felt odd, but I initially brushed it off. On another occasion, I arrived about six minutes late due to rushing. A staff member informed me of the five-minute late policy but still allowed me to join the class, which I appreciated. Parking at this location is also extremely limited, which adds to the overall frustration. One day I forgot my heart rate monitor. Zach and another front desk staff member were present when I asked about it. The other staff member was understanding, but Zach insisted on charging the $10 fee. I've been to another Orangetheory location where a member forgot theirs and was not charged, so the inconsistency stood out to me. This past Thursday, after attending for a couple of weeks, I had an instructor (I believe her name was Beth) who was the first person to actually correct my rowing form and give me helpful pointers. That was appreciated, but it made me realize how little guidance I had received prior. Overall, the experience has left me feeling uncomfortable. As a Black woman, I don't feel particularly welcomed or supported at this location. When I attended Orangetheory in Frontenac, the experience was completely different the energy, the atmosphere, and the overall vibe felt inclusive and encouraging. Although I live very close to the CWE location, I'm strongly considering switching to the Frontenac studio. I love working out, but I don't appreciate or feel okay with how this location has made me feel.

This place is freaking HUGE and has SO MUCH EQUIPMENT. They have plenty of treadmills in multiple locations (you're nervous about being in the open? No problem they have some in a back room), but I'm more into weights - I love that they have every type of weight to choose from, plenty of racks, AND they have so many individual pieces of equipment. Sometimes free weights/racks make me nervous, so having individual machines is freaking awesome and the ease of use is so much better. They have multiple spaces, including a back room that is pretty secluded which is perfect for new people/for stretching. They also have balls, steps, small weights, etc back there. They truly are an all encompassing gym. My only complaint (some people don't care about this) - it is very overwhelming for women AND for those of us that aren't SUPER fit. I will not come in here without my fiancé because I'm too nervous haha! It's....a lot. There's a lot of really fit people and coming from a small planet fitness, this is a lot to take in. Overall, great location. The equipment seems to be kept up nicely, and there's something for everyone.

Updating my review after going here for over a year. I still love all the equipment, that's really…read morewhat keeps me around. However, there are a few things that push me toward switching to somewhere new. -Cleanliness. It just isn't very clean. I see staff cleaning regularly but they seem to focus on the floors. Which is great, but the machines need cleaned as well. There are paper towel dispensers a few places around the gym but they are pretty inconvenient to walk to depending on what you are using. They also produce the smallest, thinnest paper towel so that you really need 3-4 to properly clean with them. I would say about 50% of the time they are out paper towels. And the locker rooms are absolutely disgusting (at least the women's is). Everything from the benches to the stalls and showers needs deep cleaned. There is only 1 soap dispenser that works properly so for months it was the only one shared between 4 sinks. They did begin buying small soap pumps, thank goodness. The showers are straight up nasty, with broken pieces of wall laying around them. Toilets don't all flush properly so usually at least 2/4 of them are clogged or filled. Hand sanitizer on the floor is straight liquid, makes a big mess. -COVID precautions. They are not enforcing masks or social distancing. It is really tough around peak gym times. It gets super crowded, as all gyms do at this time, but is not safe when patrons are not wearing masks or cleaning the equipment.

However, at this St. Louis location, I've been repeatedly told not to wear my shoes to my reformer. Yesterday, I asked a staff member to email me the written policy or rulebook for this location regarding footwear, but I never received it. To be clear, I do not work out in my shoes. I wear grip socks during class. My concern is that if I need to use the restroom in the middle of class, I'm not going to walk through a public restroom in my socks and then get back on the equipment. I also don't think it's reasonable to expect members to walk all the way to the front of the studio just to retrieve their shoes every time they need to use the restroom. I'm a paying member and I don't think it's unreasonable to ask to see the written policy after being repeatedly corrected. If this location has a different footwear policy than my home studio that's completely fine, but it should be communicated clearly and provided when a paying member requests it. As a customer whose membership helps support this business and helps pay the instructors bills, I expect consistency, transparency, and respect. Also, if we're going to focus on safety and studio standards, I'd like to point out that the reformer I used yesterday had a tear that was approximately 1 1/2 inches long in the upholstery. In my opinion, equipment in that condition should be repaired or replaced immediately. It seems inconsistent to be so focused on members walking to their reformers in shoes while damaged equipment remains in use.
