Full stars for the location-…read morethey made sure that I had a working bike and got me all set up and gave me a quick tour at the very beginning since it was my first time. Thank you Kennedy! I've been to two other cycling places before, and compared to the others instruction, it was just really hard to hear the instructor both due to music and because the microphone made her sound unintelligible. I think this particular class was really difficult for me because most of it was out of the saddle, but that's just a personal problem. The remixes on all the songs were not my personal taste but it definitely made me sweat trying to keep up. I really did like that they incorporated some arm and upper body work as well. Overall I'd be back but maybe with a different instructor and away from any speakers so I can hear a little better.

As an athlete, I have experience in the gym, pool and outdoor activities, but I had never tried Pilates before and didn't know what to expect. The instructors are great- they lead you through the workouts and explain things really well and provide demonstrations from time to time. The only thing that could potentially be improved is the invitability of the buisness- When approaching the building for the first time, it was hard to tell that they were even open because they have full length window covers covering their doors at all times.

Perhaps a tad tight but no major issues there. This studio is simple enough, it has a stage for the instructor which would be helpful for a larger studio or with lots of people. I'd say it's probably half the size of the Cary studio off Buckjones. My instructor was a replacement sub who had never worked at that studio before. I'd say the class was alright - I think I'm more partial to Zumba classes versus Jazzercise, so take that for what it's worth. I still tried to have fun and do what I could to sweat. The instructor did provide low impact and high impact options for us to choose. I may go back and check out different instructors to see if that may sway me one way or the other.

I go twice a week regularly ( with the occasional weekend workout or activity too) and I have already seen incredible results. Carlita, my instructor is so patient and helpful, especially with trickier workouts and particularly difficult ones for me; she encourages me to go at my own pace and never pushes me all while making sure I am getting my best results. I've learned so much about exercises I wasn't familiar with and I feel amazing! Stroller Strides works best with my schedule and lifestyle but I also love Strides 360! Body Back classes really push you and are definitely next level but I also really enjoy those classes! The unlimited membership has been so worth it. The ladies you meet are always so kind and accepting, I just love getting a good workout with other mamas that are going through similar experiences physically and mentally! Also, Meghan is wonderful! She's a great communicator of cancelled classes or upcoming events. She really keeps you informed and involved in this community. The events planned for mom's night out are always so much fun! I could not recommend Fit4Mom more!!!

Outdoor boot camp. You might not feel Marine-ready after, but you :will: feel like a bad-ass. On…read moreTuesday and Thursday, they offer Boot Camp and Zumba at 7pm, for $5. You'll pay, start with 5 laps, and a warm-up of jumping jacks, high-knees and so on. Then you'll split into groups of ~6-8 and start the real work-out. The day I went, it consisted of quick weight-lifting intervals done with makeshift equipment -- sand bags, heavy poles, etc. -- and/or body weight. I thought there was a good mix of upper- and lower-body focus. And my heart rate stayed up for most of the hour. Frankly, I thought the exercises could have been more challenging. But given the heat, and dirt, and bugs that come with working out outside, the less-intense level was kind of nice. The instructor offered some encouragement, and engaged with the group to keep us motivated, but also keep the mood light-hearted. There were about an equal number of girls and guys, and the group's fitness level was very diverse. So it's not too intimidating! Parking is kind of a pain-in-the-butt (my car got blocked in behind a few layers of late arrivals), but there's a neighboring lot that I noticed other people were spilling over into, so I'd recommend doing that.

I tried the outdoor/indoor class and absolutely love the workouts concept, specially flipping the big tires around. I was sore for a couple of days but ready to come back for more. I received a promotion value for a month and took advantage of every class I could. Well, my promotion ran out and I'm not a big fan of the "membership" value $$$ which you are paying basically for the limited classes and not for the use of the whole gym if you want to. I also believe that some good workout music will be a plus while indoors to keep you pumped through the intensive workouts. If you want to change up your workout routine, I highly recommend this gym.

Love OTF.... but current Meadowmont OTF studio customer service sucks…read more After 18 months loving my OT Beat Link (Apple Watch heart rate monitor), I recently lost it. It was a great option for me so I bought a replacement OT Beat Link ($140) on Monday at Meadowmont which is currently my home studio. I finally *found* my lost OT Beat Link on Tuesday night (of course ;-), and then proceeded to return the never-used-still-in-the-box-with-all-the-parts new OT Beat Link on Wednesday morning at Meadowmont. I was informed there is a strict no return policy for all heart rate monitors... doesn't matter if the device is still in the box and has never been used. I hate to give the Meadowmont OTF studio a negative review. I have been an OTF member based at Meadowmont studio for over 8 years, and overall OTF is awesome. I wish current Meadowmont OTF management had better customer service, IMO they used to do much better. Luckily there are several OTF studio options in the area and I would highly recommend trying those over Meadowmont.... I have found the MLK OTF studio in Durham to be a superior option and there are a couple other studios in the Chapel Hill/Durham area.
