I started off with an unlimited membership at first but decreased to a 4 classes a month membership after realizing my travel obligations (no Orangetheory studios close to the areas I was traveling to for work!).

Oh, and did I mention I've lost 15 pounds since I first started working out here? It works.

Upon arrival, I was greeted and had to complete minor paperwork because it was my first time at this Orangetheory fitness center. After I completed the paperwork, I chilled out for a bit. The facility was so clean, just as my home Orangetheory is. More people arrived for the class. Finally, the class started. And Landon, who is an instructor greeted us all and recognized the newbie to Orangetheory. We all entered in and hit our stations. I am a creature of habit butI felt awkward only because the people were all new to me. So I will never take stars away for that. The workout was great, and Landon encouraged us to push ourselves. It was a good workout. As my home gym does, he takes the time to make sure you are lifting weights the right way if he sees you are struggling. I have to say, Orangetheory is an excellent workout. If you are looking for a good workout. This is the place! Some people get scared because they think that it is too intense for them. But you can set your own pace. It's a good workout, it is different everytime, and you can choose your pace. And you will get a lot of coaching to help motivate you to push harder. Keep burning!

I expressed to her that I was thinking about getting a massage as well, but had to be at work at 1pm. She suggested the Aquamassage they just got the day before, and MAN was she right! I did the 20 minute option which is equivalent to an hour long regular massage. Everyone was so accommodating and nice, if you're a local or here for a visit I HIGHLY RECOMMEND stopping by!

If you like to train with barbells, really the best thing about this AF is that they have 2 power…read moreracks w/ deadlift platforms. Other than that,I found them to be a bit lacking. I could only find 1 set of 5 lb plates in the whole place, and overall they could probably stand to beef up their supply of plates. Especially since they have the deadlift platforms. Maybe a couple sets of bumper plates? It's not the biggest AF, but it worked. All the plastic olympic collars were blown out. That's a safety issue. Only set of working collars I could find were some metal pinch ones. (I take it back--one of those were blown out, too--so only onee functional collar in the whole place). The olympic bar i was using seemed to be straight, which is good. Sometimes they're bent like cheap pool cue. Water fountain was functional, 4 changing rooms, vending machine with water and speed-drinks (no recovery drinks). This place could be a lot better if mgmt would spend a minimal amount of money and attention.

The equipment is very well maintained and extensive. The indoor lap pool is very nice and not crowded during most of every day. The staff is amazing in all parts of the facility. I am not generally a group exercise fan but, if you are, the Flowood Y is your place to be. HIIT, Zumba, Yoga, Mat Palates, Reformer Palates, Body Sculpt, Step Aerobics, Spin, Barre, Kickboxing, Water Aerobics ... probably 100 classes per week--all included in your basic membership. I am also not a parent but know that the Flowood Y has child care (included with family membership) for your children age 6 months to 12 years, for up to 90 minutes a day while you work out. The only thing keeping me from 5 stars is the lack of a steam room, dry sauna, massage or laundry service but hey--its a YMCA--not Equinox. As Katie said, it is one of the nicest YMCA's you will ever see and at a small fraction of the Equinox price. Frankly, if you like any form of group exercise and/or are towing a kid around, I can't imagine you going anywhere else in Jackson, Madison, Ridgeland, Flowood or Brandon.

I instantly fell in love. Ms. Faith was amazing. She pushed me in those 30 mins and made me want to come back. The enivornment was extremely friendly and open and I was met with absolutely no judgement. Since then, I've attended two more classes, one with Ms. Faith and one with Ms. Cheryl. Both are *lovely* women that lead by example and are super encouraging throughout the entire experience. The staff are extremely friendly and personable and the location is very clean. If you are looking to start (or continue) your pilates journey, I highly recommend Club Pilates (also, I usually go to the 1030 am class on Sunday's if you want a new friend too! )

Caution tape on the front steps made me worry this club would be neglected. Went in anyway and was greeted by a friendly fella at the desk. He saw I was from out of town and immediately he said welcome and gave me a quick layout of the gym. It was much appreciated as he seemed to really enjoy his job. The equipment looks pretty standard and well maintained. The black card spa has all your usual stuff. I didn't feel out of place at all. I think that's what I enjoy most about PF, is the consistency of their gyms. I'm glad I joined this place, well worth your money as I travel a lot and it always feels like a little bit of home.

Pure Barre is great! I have almost taken 100 classes and have been routinely attending the 6am…read moreclass for almost 9 months. It's hard for me to find a fitness plan to stick with, but so far I've loved Pure Barre and haven't burned out. Pure Barre is all about changing and toning your muscles through small movements and exercises for 55 minutes. It focuses on your thighs, behind, abs, and arms, tighting muscles that can be hard to work out. There is definitely a learning curve when you first start, having to understand what tuck means and how to control your body movements. Once you start to understand the concepts you can really feel the burn and shake of your muscles while doing the workout. I love that there are two locations in the Jackson area with times starting at 6am and ending at 6:30pm allowing anyone to find time to work out for 55 minutes. The community of Pure Barre is fun too, I've met so many people and have workout friends when I attend class. There are many different instructors and I love taking Erika, Avery, and Heidi's classes because they are very motivational and fun. It is also nice because Pure Barre does fun promotions like their 20 in 30 in the spring, CARA donations, and so on. The only downside is that it is a little pricey, but I think it's worth every penny. I have seen a total change in my body shape. I am more toned and lean. If you go 3-4 times a week you will see the most change. I started Pure Barre to get fit for my wedding and I loved the results and felt fit and beautiful on my wedding day. If you are looking to try a new workout, this is the place to go, you'll be hooked after your first class!
