More importantly, my wife who never lifted weights before signed up with an amazing and wonderful trainer there named Tatum. Tatum is so knowledgeable and has such a calming demeanor. Additionally, after I started working out 4-5 times per week I began having issues with a range of different muscle and joint pains (basically I kept hurting myself). So I decided to sign up for sessions with Tatum myself, and she taught me a regimen of stretching and corrective exercises which has basically cured my issues. My wife and I both give Tatum the highest recommendation!

They have all the equipment you could need to work every part of the body. The trainers genuinely care and personalize the program to your needs. Plenty of parking. Lockers are available with a code. It's a get-in, workout, get-out gym. There are no people, just hugging machines or standing around. Everyone is usually doing something, and so it motivates me to keep working out. It's never so busy that it gets uncomfortable. I have seen people of all ages, body types, and abilities here. It is a good mix of healthy people. Cons: No showers yet (they are expanding to include showers and a sauna soon) Only two restrooms. (I have never had to wait to use one, but you never know). Overall, this gym is pretty well organized. They offer plenty of trainers of all genders. I believe they also do rehab and physical therapy. There also is someone that comes to do massages. Everyone I have seen here is pretty friendly and polite. I have been training with Laura, and in the past three weeks, she took me from 0 pull-ups to 20 chin-ups, 1:20 plank to 3:30, and 15 push-ups to 42 in 2mins, and my strength overall has increased. I totally recommend you check it out.

The trainers are also so sweet & make you feel so welcomed! There's a water fountain & a vending machine with energy drinks, protein drinks & protein snacks, just Incase you forget yours. Love this because I'm always rushing out of the door! It also never gets super busy, like a commercial gym. So if you have gym anxiety, this is a great place to train! Love this gym if I could give it 100 stars, I would !

I also appreciate that Erika provides me knowledge and education on the equipment, so that if I'm traveling and using a hotel gym, then I am confident in doing my own workout on other machines!

Check in was easy and the front desk staff quickly gave me a run down on where the bathrooms and cubicles were. Every person gets a cubicle with a door to place their belongings! There was a towel placed on every reformer and they wipe down the machine for you after class!!! I've never been to a studio that does that for you, which is such a nice touch. My instructor was Ashlee and wow she was amazing. Her instructions are very clear and detailed. She made sure to demonstrate the moves and I really appreciate what a great job she did describing when to breathe, what muscles you should be working on, etc. It wasn't an easy class but I really enjoyed the challenge. Would definitely come back again. Parking: garage below or street parking

There were times I wasn't greeted by certain staff, and trainers would also bring clients into open areas I was already using and expect me to move without any notice or reservation. I also found the gender-segregated setup frustrating, especially since some of the better equipment is upstairs in the men's section. The gym is very clean, but the equipment is outdated and there are no security cameras on the gym floor. I raised concerns before leaving and didn't feel much was done to address them. Ultimately, I didn't feel comfortable continuing my membership.

I had only ever gone to places like 24 Hour Fitness, so walking into a more serious training gym was completely out of my comfort zone. But from day one, everyone made me feel so welcome. The front desk staff is always friendly, and they even have a little coffee bar in the mornings, which is such a nice touch. I've been training with AJ, and I can't recommend him enough. Coming from someone who knew almost nothing about gym equipment or strength training (I was mainly a Pilates girl), he made everything easy to understand and made me feel comfortable asking questions. He's patient, encouraging, and genuinely cares about helping you improve. Since starting here, my body has changed so much, but honestly, so has my mindset. I've gained confidence, learned proper form, and actually look forward to coming to the gym. No matter what fitness level you're at, I've never felt judged or out of place. There are people at every stage of their fitness journey, and it's a really supportive environment. I've also attended one of their women's events, which was such a fun way to meet people and be part of the community. It really feels like more than just a gym. If you've been nervous about joining a gym like I was, this is your sign. I'm so glad I took the chance.

However, this gym is very busy and with people who have questionable gym etiquette. You'll often see guys working out with their shirts off, saving 2 machines at once with their gym bag on one, and on their phone on the other, while flexing into their selfie sticks. It wouldn't be a big deal if this gym wasn't constantly busy, but it is. It doesn't matter what time of day you come, it's always full. Today, there was a hot pink Lamborghini parked in the handicap spot directly in front of the door. Really? I said something to the front desk, not to be a "Karen," but because there are indeed real disabled members that work out here. Oh... and it's uhhhh... illegal and just plain disrespectful. He shrugged his shoulders, and totally blew me off. Curl management could really improve on setting some etiquette rules for the members it's getting really out of hand.
