This review is long overdue!…read more I've taken classes at both the Montrose and Glendale locations, and I truly can't say enough great things about these studios. After trying several other Pilates studios that felt impersonal, Motivate was such a breath of fresh air. Every single instructor is fantastic, but a few deserve a special mention. Odet is incredibly knowledgeable. This girl knows fitness! She knows exactly how to challenge and motivate her clients. Christine's positive energy, smile and genuine kindness make every class such a joy. Alin is also another amazing and motivating instructor. And Courtney somehow delivers an amazing workout while keeping everyone laughing, it's like getting a comedy show with your Pilates class! I can go on and on about each and every single instructor. Both studios are true gems for the Montrose and Glendale communities. The instructors, the atmosphere, and the workouts are second to none. I genuinely look forward to every class. Five stars simply aren't enough!

Having it right here, in such an accessible and grounded space, is a gift. It's not just about fitness here, it's about feeling grounded and centered. Huge thanks to Manny, the owner of this gym, and to Liz, the breathwork practitioner, for hosting such a powerful and unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a gym that's personal, elevated, and rooted in real community values, Apollo is it. Strength, healing, and connection, all under one roof.

It's spacious so you don't feel on top of each other. It's not completely filled with bed heads Which is important for me. I dont want to feel conscious when I'm working out. It's clean and the showers are great.

Gym management, is everything okay? The machines have been very dusty, and the weights are dirty…read more The urinal stalls have had urine stains for months under the covers. Weights are left scattered all over the floor, hand sanitizers are empty and rarely refilled, and there are balled-up hairs on the floors. What's going on? The gym used to be clean and well-maintained, but it's become quite trashed lately. One thing I don't understand is why the cleaning happens during peak hours when members are exercising and kicking up dust that we then have to breathe in. I'd really appreciate it if this could be addressed. Also Please check on some of the machines bc they seem broken and loose.

Rebecca varies our workouts to keep things interesting, and has also been very easy to schedule with as my work schedule as been highly unpredictable of late. She is also knowledgable about nutrition and has given me many useful tips on snacking, grocery shopping, and meal-planning. I feel great after my morning workouts with Rebecca--she knows exactly what we need to be doing, and tailors workouts to my goals. I have more energy, am much healthier, and have more discipline than when I first started working with Rebecca. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a fantastic trainer!

I highly recommend Troy for your personal training and here's why…read more I'm a cancer survivor twice who also suffers from chronic RA pain. I was in great pain inside out and frail like a twig after my surgery. Yet, I'm the type who would rather bury herself in the library or in the garden than step into the gym. Well, my sister insisted that I see Troy during the COVID lockdown and I grudgingly complied. We have the training on Zoom. Troy articulates very well and explains clearly; this is very important, especially when it's done on Zoom. He would provide alternatives when I couldn't do certain move due to pain. He is also very observant to correct any wrong move. With his help, I became stronger each day; I was even able to cook the Thanksgiving meal this year for my family, which I haven't been able to do for a few years now. My family was happy. Troy is very friendly, encouraging, patient, and knowledgeable. If he doesn't know, he'd tell you. He would research it himself and enrich my knowledge of my own ailment. I highly recommend him.

I approached Troy one day when my shoulders felt so sore and tight after overexertion that I could…read morehardly walk let alone lift my arms. Troy immediately got to work and I was feeling completely better by the end of the session. He knew the right questions to ask in order to pinpoint the source of my shoulder pain and applied the perfect therapy for my specific issue. He also taught me exercises and movements that I can do at home to help prevent and deal with future shoulder issues. Troy is always seeking to improve his practice by learning from the best practitioners, and he really has a multi-disciplinary approach to helping his clients. He is the first to tell you that no two persons are alike. He creates a custom solution for each individual and I have definitely benefitted from his expertise.

I called and set up an appointment with a trainer, and it turned out to be Armando. He asked me what I was looking for, which, for me, was gaining strength and muscle. Right off the bat in my intake meeting, he knew what to target. There are a variety of workouts, and no session is ever the same. I've also had the pleasure of training with his partner Cat, and she is amazing as well. They both do a great job of explaining the purpose of each exercise and are very patient with beginners. I've been going there for 4 months and will continue to do so. In addition, the gym is very clean and a comfortable place to work out. If you're looking for a 1:1 trainer experience, this is the place to go.
