It may not be fancy, but I'm not there to put on a show--I'm there to train. I've seen some negative reviews mentioning freeloaders and race issues, but I've never witnessed anything like that. There are signs posted everywhere regarding gym rules. It's a great place for both beginners and advanced lifters, with plenty of equipment, open 24/7, and no hidden fees.

I was greeted immediately upon entering by the girl behind the counter. I went over to pay my day pass fee (only $5) and the owner/manager (not sure) came over to start speaking with me about where I'm from and what I'm looking to do. He gave me a quick tour around the place, there are about 4 rooms of equipment, lots of nice pieces, plate loaded and pin loaded. The people working out were all respectful and friendly. All were at various levels of fitness. Everyone seemed to wipe down their machines when done, so everything felt clean. Not everything is brand new, so it's not a fancy state of the art gym. But the vibe is perfect for me. It is very unique compared to other gyms I've been to, including a disco ball hanging from the ceiling in the main room. The decor varied from sports memorabilia, to bodybuilding posters, to an MTV logo and an M&M stand for towels. Pretty cool place. There isn't a lot of space to maneuver b/c of how full they have it with equipment. It's really a minor thing, and I do prefer the extra options for equipment, over the extra space for walking around. But just know that it's crammed for space. I will likely be back for another work trip, and will definitely stop in at Fit Body U again.

Ran this race this morning and loved it!…read more I have to admit though, things didn't start off looking so good. The exit our GPS told us to take on 55 was closed and the alternative route ended up being closed and we spent an extra half an hour driving in circles trying to find the place. We pulled into the lot - that has a $10 parking fee just to park in an empty gravel parkway....and there was almost no activity going on at the race site. It looked like the day was going to be a total bust. But then..... We started our run and found that the obstacles were in fact split up amongst the course, not all grouped one after the other like it appeared from the starting line. We ran up and down hills, around banked turns, and on and off fields. There were muddy patches, there were dry patches, but basically this was typical 5K fare. The obstacles were where this run really shined. They were all so unique and fun. You had to approach each with a quick strategy chat with your partner, because they all depended on team work and timing. You got to climb walls, traverse water obstacles, and swing from monkey bars. Each obstacle was different from the last and each provided a new and interesting twist to keep things fun. I have done a good handful of "mud runs" in the last year and they are often filled with glorified 'over under' obstacles. The only thing that changes is what your going over or under. Not the case this time. It's hard to pick which obstacle was the best or the most fun. They were all good in different ways. If you couldn't complete an obstacle, you had to pay the penalty - a partner carry! Either you or your partner has to give the other a piggy back ride for a decent distance until you cross the flag line before you can begin making your way to the next obstacle. Great idea! The only down side to this is that more likely than not, one partner will weigh more than the other partner - so that one person is clearly the designated carry-er and one person is the designated carry-ee. Perhaps they can think of a way to make it more fair so the lighter person isn't just a burden for any penalties. If I had to make any changes though - it would definitely be to offer an area to hose down and change into clean clothes after your run. Driving an hour home in marshy water soaked undies was not my favorite part of the day ;)

They are not, esp for women. Some machines I can't even use cuz it doesn't have settings short enough, if I were to use it as it was, I'd risk injury. Hopefully theyll eventually add or replace some equipment and put in machines with wider range. Really the only thorn in my side, but this place is where you belong.

He arrived much earlier than his spectators, to get a feel for things and watch other groups to see what to expect. (I'm sure also to see how fast he'd be going and have something to compare himself to!) Registration began 30 minutes before his race time. They offered a number of upgrade packages -- I wasn't there, but I believe an extra 10 laps for $150, $120 for a 2-lap ridealong + video + picture plaque. I wish I knew the extra laps were available, we'd have bought them for him. Next time!! He did get the video and plaque. Because I wasn't sure what to expect as a spectator, I'll comment on that a bit. There weren't many concessions (chips, pop, and gatorade). They sold some RWRE tshirts and hats, but that's about it. Some people were clearly regulars, because they had their own chairs (recommended), coolers, music (?!?!) and sunscreen. It was so fun watching him race. I heard the class was actually really interesting and he learned a lot. The video shows a side-by-side view of his face and the track, the plaque is nicer than I expected. He had such a great time, I know he'll be talking about it for a while!!
