My experience was that I tried it. I decided its just not for me so I asked to have it cancelled. One of the owners said that they would cancel my membership and would not be charged. Though, every month I am still being billed for the membership. I got a new debit card just so I would stop being charged. I did contact them every month regarding this issue. Every month I would still be billed. so just a word of caution for those who may not want to commit to this membership. It was harder than ending a gym membership to be honest.

I have been taking kickboxing at Rockford Academy for over 5 years, and I am still just as…read morechallenged by the workouts now as when I started. The classes are only 30 minutes long, but they know exactly how to work you out for maximum results. When I got pregnant, and could no longer keep up in the classes, they worked out with me individually, and worked around my schedule; and they did not charge me for classes while I was on maternity leave. They treated me like I was family, and not just a client. I have recently started taking Tae Kwon Do here as well, and I am loving it! The classes are physically challenging and mentally stimulating. Rockford Academy is a great place to work out both your body and your mind.

Disorganized & Frustrating Cancellation Process…read more I signed up in May for a $89/month membership after taking a free class. Unfortunately, I never made it back, so I submitted a cancellation request through their app about two months later. That's where everything went downhill. I received a vague one-line email saying my request was "initiated" but needed more information. I replied multiple times asking what was needed--no response. I called, left voicemails, and sent several text messages over the course of months. Still nothing. Meanwhile, I continued to be charged for August and September despite actively trying to cancel. I eventually had to stop payment through my bank. Even after that, I kept reaching out about using the credits I had already paid for. Every time, I was told "Rich will call you back." It took two more months to finally speak with him. Then I was told I only had 30 days post-cancellation to use my credits--something that was never disclosed when I signed up or during my attempts to cancel. Even worse, I was told the only way to use the credits I already paid for was to reactivate my membership and start paying again. To top it off, I found out my account had been sent to collections with no prior notice. This entire experience was frustrating, unprofessional, and completely avoidable with proper communication. Make sure you fully understand their cancellation policies--and get everything in writing--before signing up.

I received 2 minutes of one on one instruction about punching combos and then joined the class to be thrown into complicated, intermediate cardio regimens that quickly overwhelmed me. I am a larger girl, I am not in the best shape, nor am I very athletic. If you are like me and you are attempting to get your feet wet in a new fitness option, I don't recommend an intro class at Title Boxing club. There might be other boxing classes that are more beginner friendly and more adept at catering to beginner skill sets. Also, if you don't already own a pair, you will need to buy $10 hand wraps prior to starting class.

I have been taking Agnes classes for 2 years ( took a break while pregnant ) and started back up a month post partum. In the beginner class, you can take it easy as you need if you're starting out and gradually add more to challenging yourself. She changes up her flow and class every week, so you are consistently working different areas of the body. I took yoga classes at random and used to feel it a slow boring waste of time more or less a relaxing class that does "stretching". I love to lift and do intense endurance cardio. It wasn't until going here consistently that I was blown away with the fitness aspect of yoga- the strength/flexibility/core stability/etc. involved. You will be challenged more than you possibly think and I promise the health benefits, both mentally and physically, will surprise you! I highly recommend Melt and the classes here. Side note: The owner rocks.
