Athlete here. Gave SLT a shot while visiting my in laws for Fourth of July, because I do Pilates…read morefor cross training 3-4 times a week and wanted to stay consistent while on vacation for a few days. I had done two Lagree classes prior to trying SLT as well as a Solidcore class at one of their LA studios. I opted for SLT this time only because they had a 2/$40 intro deal which was a little more cost effective than paying the drop in rate at the Solidcore studio nearby. I showed up for my first of two classes, and the reception girl was nice and gave me a refresher on the megaformer but warned me "you'll be lost and that's okay". She actually advised me to "copy others" if that became the case. That should have been my sign to leave, as Lagree and Pilates are both about having proper form, not just "copying" another participant which can lead to injury. If your cueing is that bad where participants are "lost," perhaps you shouldn't market it as an "all levels" class. Then I find out the instructor I had signed up for was switched to Farah, which should have been my second sign to leave. Dang, was she is rough. And not in a good way. She's forceful, impatient, and comes off very pompous. She actually had us hold movements to a beat at one point, like what? You're supposed to count at a steady pace; what instructor worth their salt coordinates the movements to their playlist? I spent the first 20 minutes debating on whether I should just walk out before I decided to ignore her vibe and just sweat it out. Instead of leaving empowered to take on my day, I left demoralized and disappointed. Then I took Alexandra's class on my second of two visits, and it was night and day. She's truly the only reason I'm giving SLT 3 stars and not 1. She was the saving grace, as she offered fantastic cues and did good demonstrations that were easy to follow. If I'm "copying" anyone, it should be the trained instructor. Alexandra was also attentive to everyone and offered gentle corrections when needed. She was courteous and asked if I'm okay with hands-on corrections, which I appreciated as well. I thanked her for turning my experience at SLT around and left her class feeling strong and inspired. Can't say I'd ever go back to SLT though. I prefer studios that are a bit more professional and prioritize safety and form. Since those two classes, I racked up 6 more Lagree classes in California on top of my normal Pilates routine. Yet to have any experience get close to rivaling the awful class I had with Farah, and I vow to walk out of any instructor's class that times a movement to "when the beat drops."

LaRoss is a personal training gym that focuses on one client at a time. Every time you go to the gym, Wesley has an individualized plan that supports your overall fitness goals. I started with Wesley in April of 2019 and immediately found that his calm demeanor, attention to detail, passion for fitness, and healthy eating tips reshaped how I approached weight loss and renewed my commitment to a healthy lifestyle. In our first session, Wesley completed a baseline assessment of my current fitness levels and worked collaboratively with me to establish goals. Now with Covid19, being the only person at the gym gives peace of mind, and Wesley's protocols regarding sanitizing and screening of clients certainly ease my own worries. Throughout the gym closure, Wesley provided zoom sessions that allowed me to continue with my fitness journey. Having access to the virtual sessions during quarantine helped manage my stress levels and carved out time to maintain a work-life balance. Wesley's personality is the perfect balance of calm and invigorating. At the launch of my fitness journey, it was difficult to get through workouts. At no point did I feel judged. Now almost two years in, Wesley pushes me to reach new fitness goals despite my slight complaining that "I can't do one more rep". Join LaRoss gym you won't regret the investment in yourself.

Before that I spent 4 years in group fitness classes where personal interaction was all apart of their business idea and not part of who they really were. I did manage to lose some weight and see some progress but after 3 years of spin classes and working with inexperienced trainers that gave me the same workout and attention as they would next guy that walked through the door I knew it was time for a change. The Strength Experiment was convenient, less than a mile from my house so I figured I would check it out...what did I have to lose. I grabbed 2 friends and walked in scared. We were met by Jared the owner and trainer for the gym, yes he and his down and dirty gym were a bit intimidating for this Spin girl, but we all signed up for a week membership. By the end of my first week I knew this is where I needed to be. All though it is a group training experience with the work out written on the board for everyone to do. You are never left to do anything yourself. Jared sees all and always provides and makes you feel like you have a one on one experience. NO it is NOT cross-fit! I've done that before and came out with a pulled back and sore shoulder after the first month. It's not about finishing in an hour or get your reps done in 2 minutes..it's about the right form, it's about increasing your strength, feeling strong and being apart of an amazing, non intimidating gym! OK.. I think I made my point .. you deserve to try it out... do yourself a favor.

When Covid came around, Ms West would not honor our karmic agreement for work and class exchange, citing that you can't just save up classes and that one should work at YU to improve their body.

Luckily, I won a dept of labor case against Ms West for the amount of about $1300 (which equated to how many classes I had store through work exchange) within the past few years. It does not compensate for the type of abuse Ms West extends to the world. It is upsetting that someone like this is within the yoga community but this is how the world works. She taught me so much.
