This is a personal training gym which means you have to hire a personal trainer in order to workout…read morehere. There is no general gym membership. Your first 30 minute personal training session is free. My co-workers and I got a complimentary session which lasted almost 45 minutes. For the workout, 4 of my team members and I (5 total) started off with weight training using free weights (dumbbells), then we moved into battle ropes and squat ball exercises, and we ended up with using the weighted sled machine and did pushups. The sled machines and ropes were my favourite type of equipment to use because you don't find them often at a traditional gym. The sled machine sits on a grass turf and plates (weights) can be added or removed from it. The trainers worked us hard on an especially HOT day outside. They did have a fan blowing inside and the A/C was on as well but we all were still sweating from the workout and the extreme outside temperatures. SHARDAY TOBE is an awesome trainer. I loved her encouragement and enthusiasm. I believe she came up with the workout exercises. Herself and Nancy Halloran led the workout. Nancy is equally also a great trainer. She is really nice and answered so many of my ongoing questions...LOL. Chad Maleski, another personal trainer, is someone I met twice before when he was doing promotions for the gym at my office building and I had even emailed him with gym related questions. He is equally friendly just like Sharday and Nancy. I have not being trained by Chad yet though. I loved my personal training session with my co-workers and the trainers Sharday and Nancy. It's always more fun exercising with friends. This location is still finishing up renovations. There will be windows added, paintings on the wall, a new side entrance, an office for the trainers, and some cardio machines such as a treadmill and a stair climber. There are Rogue barbells and weighted plates which I would love to eventually come back to use for squats. THANKS Sharday, Nancy, and Chad for making my experience here wonderful.

I have never been a workout guy. Even though I have spent thousands of nights in hotels with first…read moreclass workout rooms, I never darkened any of those doors. It was just too intimidating I guess. But this gym helped me overcome all of that. A continually spreading midsection and my making it into my 50s made me realize I had to do something. Several of my athlete idols had "found" Crossfit and preached the virtues. They loved it after having done all kinds of workouts. My friend attend one of the free Saturday workout and found out that an "Executive" beginner class was starting the following week so we started together. The Executive class is a group of 5-8 people three days a week. Staci will guide you thru the work out of the day, (WOD) all the workout lingo and help you do the workout routines with good form. If you have a particular problem doing any exercise, they modify it for your ability. You "compete" against the people in your group at times, so having a good group and a good group dynamic is important. Having some friends there in the beginning with me helped. There is a lot of encouragement and camaraderie and I never felt like I was being talked down to. Just because someone younger or who had been doing it longer could do more or do it faster, it was ok.

Similar to their other locations, GrooveRyde rules. I first learned about GrooveRyde from a Yelp…read moreevent. Of their three locations, this one is the newest. Located in the Van Aken district, it's really an idyllic location. After class, you can grab a healthy bite at the neighboring Nature's Oasis and stroll the area to shop. Bonus: FREE garage parking! As I've stated in my Woodmere GrooveRyde review, SO many fitness studios claim inclusiveness but don't always practice it. GrooveRyde does. When you have a physical limitation, it's a giant leap to try something new and you almost always are disappointed. After trying my first class with Zosimo in Woodmere (and having him be respectful and kind towards limitations) I felt confident to come back and try Shaker Heights. I did a class with Jessica and she was beyond helpful. I arrived early and she was sweet enough to help me set up my bike and answer several questions. She was a great instructor and really loves what she does! Overall, the facility is generally bigger and sparklier because it's so new! They have a great gym, several exercise rooms and lockers to store your things. You'll love GrooveRyde! Don't be scared of cycling. They get it and respect your journey!

I can only vouch for the 50 minute cycling classes but reckon I may try yoga or other class offerings soon. The cycling room is a smidge tight (you can/will definitely hit whoever is next to you when extending your arms on the bike so be careful) but still comfortable. I love that the lighting is kept dim and the wall fans are strategically placed in all four corners. I also appreciate that you get to choose your bike of choice when signing up for your class online. The bike assignments are also posted on the class door so there shouldn't be any confusion upon arriving. Towels are provided (another amen!) which is incredibly helpful because you WILL SWEAT. There are also lots of lockers and cubbies to store your crap while you're cycling your heart out. Highly recommend you give this great workout studio a try.

It has made a positive difference in my lifestyle, eat healthy, work out regularly. No work out is easy, everyday you leave with your butt being kicked and realizing how much more there is to achieve. The facility is excellent, coaches are well versed in CrossFit. The emphasis is on ensuring you do it right. The programming led by Jeff, Adam & Katie is adaptive and helps address your shortcomings. So if you want to get fit, improve your strength & conditioning - CrossFit Sixth City is the place to be at. I endorse CSC without any reservations. Addendum: 6/14 CSC has added weekly yoga classes. These are held every Thursday, led by a certified yoga instructor. I find them very complimentary to CrossFit especially with mobility. The yoga classes are open to all & cost $5/session.

Just like Cleveland, Sixth City rocks! Okay, that was super corny, but really, Sixth City is an…read moreawesome place to get your fitness on, and I'm fortunate to have been a member of this incredible community for two years now. One thing that truly sets CSC apart is the fact that no matter your fitness level, the coaches will pay attention to you, help you through your bad habits, and they legitimately want you to succeed. They don't spend all of their time with newbies nor do they spend all of their time with the more experienced athletes, instead, everyone gets personal attention and help where they need it most. Some people complain about the price of a crossfit membership, but with a basic understanding of the product, you'll see that it's well worth it. CSCs coaches take all the hard work out of staying fit--they plan the workouts for you, help you through your weaknesses and encourage you when you want to quit. Beyond that, they take a genuine interest in getting to know you. Bonus points--the gym is in a super convenient location if you work downtown.

When I first decided to try CrossFit a rush of mixed emotions filled my head. With an undying love…read morefor fitness I was naturally excited, but with a long-time struggle with my lack of self-confidence I was also nervous and intimidated. I had seen the intensity of the workouts before and I wasn't sure I'd be able to do it. But when I walked into The Bar CrossFit, everything I had previously felt changed -- except my ongoing excitement. I was welcomed with smiles and fist bumps from people I've never met or seen. The coaches all had great sense of humor and compelling attitudes. The coaches [are] willing to work with everyone, they show you modifications to fit your skill level and introduce them as stepping stones until you hit your full potential. I've seen them cheer on their athletes as they succeeded and encourage them when they didn't feel like they could continue. Overall, I highly recommend this CrossFit gym for anyone with an interest in fitness. I enjoy my experience, I enjoy all of the people there, and I plan to continue my fitness journey at The Bar CrossFit for a long time.
