I always like to change my workout as I can get a bit bored. However, no more boredom as every…read moreclass is different with owner/trainer Brandon Brickley! One of my good friends started CG (Ft. Worth area) in 2020. Watching her transform mentally & physically I was curious on what she was doing. Over several weeks of grilling her I decided to be brave & signed up for a class that is offered by my house & I am hooked. I am so glad I started training with Brandon as I was getting worried about my bone strength & having these horrible visions of having impaired mobility as I get older. At the camp, you go at your own pace & it is really exciting when you see/feel the milestones & improvements in your journey. After 3 months I am stronger, more flexible, faster & mentally I feel so freakin' good. Brandon will give modifications per exercise & is very hands on as he walks around to correct your form or to give you a shout out. His enthusiasm for what he does shows, he is truly vested in your journey. Did I mention he is the best trainer I've had? Ever? As mentioned above, every "camp" is different. And as I have the best trainer at CG that loves to mix things up. Don't be surprised to see cornhole, a basketball hoop or huge jenga in the parking lot. Each class is well thought out & the hour goes by very quickly. You work the whole body (cardio & strength) including your mind as Brandon leads you through a routine that makes you THINK about what you are doing or how you are going to do it. Camp Gladiator is a four week outdoor group fitness program. The workouts cycle per week & builds on the previous week's training. I like that there is a different focus per week: Week 1 - Endurance - "Full body workouts that keep your heart rate at a steady pace" Week 2 - Strength & Agility - "Agile movements to work on coordination & muscular efficiency" Week 3 - Interval - "High intensity workouts with short rest periods in between" Week 4 - Peak - "Challenging workouts that push you to your highest exertion level" This location is in the West parking lot of the Memorial Drive United Methodist Church (MDUMC!). I love this location because, duh, Brandon, it is a safe location & the people. Community is a focal point with CG & being in a class with people of different ages & fitness levels is motivating & fun. CG offers members access to unlimited workouts whether you hit an outdoor class or a virtual workout (there are so many virtual classes to choose from across 7 states). So come out & join me one fine morning at Camp Gladiator - MDUMC. One class with Brandon & you will see why I am so enthusiastic about my fitness journey. AND Brandon offers coffee after camp. Get your sweat on, grab a cup of exceptional java, hang out with other campers & don't forget to say Hi to Finley, the cutest side-kick dog! See ya there!!!!!!!

And the setup was so awkward that everyone at the cardio area stares at you the moment I walk in. No greetings, no ID check, and they couldn't even find the waivers for me to fill out. I got weird looks the whole time, like I stumbled into some kind of cult. But here's the kicker: after I left, they tracked me down on Instagram and messaged one of my followers! Can you believe that? They said I left something behind but when I called "Nate", he said I'm not allowed back there and threatened to press charges, claiming I was a phantom shower pooper and that it had to of been me because I was the only new visitor there This place is so weird. Stay away my friends, apparently they have a phantom shower pooper on the loose.

Hitfit you've done it again!!!!! I have fallen in love with Bootcamp all over!!…read more When Hitfit's owner told me that he was hiring new trainers for additional classes I was kinda bummed thinking that he'd be hard pressed to find someone as fun and enjoyable as him.... I was so pleasantly surprised when I tried out their new Tuesday and Thursday classes and the instructor, who's name is Marcus, was absolutely as positive and friendly and gave me a great work out!! Nothing like enjoying your workout!!! Thanks guys you Rock!! If you need a good workout in the evenings go check them out at Spott's Park

If you've been thinking about getting in better shape and just haven't found the motivation or the…read moreright workout, you have to check out Hit Fit Boot Camp. Jared and Ricky are the instructors: Jared teaches 6 a.m. Monday & Wednesday classes, and Ricky teaches 6:15 p.m. Tuesday & Thursday classes. Classes are held in Levy Park, which is right off of Richmond and Eastside. It costs 80 bucks for 8 sessions: that's a crazy steal in the fitness world. To sign up, go to the website and pay. Then just show up for a class. You have to use them in 4 weeks or you lose them, so that means committing to at least 2 a week. You'll feel the difference in a week - I've gotten so much stronger already, and I've only been to 4 sessions so far. As for the difficulty of the workouts, yep, it's tough. The great thing is that it's geared for women, and they make lots of suggestions about modifying exercises if they're too difficult for you in the beginning. If you're not into the boot camp thing, they also do personal training. Check 'em out for that too!

I took the 6:15am class with Amber, who was very sweet. She recognized that I wasn't a regular in her class and came to introduce herself. Really appreciated the hospitality. My only complaint was that I thought the mic system was a bit hard of hearing. Amber sounded muffled to me at times, especially from the #1 rower station.

Zero Empathy for their members when appointments are missed due to real emergency situations…read moreI missed my very first appointment on Nov. 24 because my home was impacted by the Spring tornado. When I called the next day to explain, I was told there was "nothing they could do." No empathy, no flexibility--nothing. It shows how little they value their members. I'm choosing to walk away and forfeit my initial fee rather than support a company that can't show basic compassion during a real crisis.

Orange Theory Fitness helped to make 2020 the best year of my life. I joined expecting to quit…read moreafter the first thirty days. I'm not a fan of the gym and after my first session I didn't feel confident I would continue. I had to keep reminding myself "this is for my health...my body needs this." The very next day was my birthday and the staff at San Felipe called and wished me the sweetest happy birthday. I would soon realize that their enthusiasm was standard. From the moment I crossed the threshold I was greeted by someone who knew my name and was genuinely glad I came. The atmosphere is that of encouragement and joy. The staff is amazing. They are accommodating, and respectful of all needs. Each OTF team member has been amazing. I have had the honor of working directly with Brandon, Jordan and Alyssa. When I step into the studio there is order, and structure. My favorite device of pain is the rower. This is pain with a purpose. The end goal is to be the healthiest me possible. Since joining I have been able to lift weights heavier than I ever thought possible. My speed on the treadmill is constantly increasing and I'm finally able to complete the required rows in one minute. Orange Theory has a phenomenal team of coaches. I have had the pleasure of working with the following: Coach Shelby is motivating, kindhearted and patient, Head Coach Chuck is fun and energetic, Coach Bryce's humor and personality remind me of home and Coach Savannah's encouraging push helps to increase the splat points. All of these coaches have a positive drive that manages to bring out the best in each participant. All of this would be very difficult to sustain if it were not for great management thanks to Jay and his awesome team of managers. They demonstrate great leadership and truly have passion for the work they do. Six months into joining OTF I had my first physical of the year in December 2020. My cholesterol and blood pressure were normal, and for the first time in years I was not pre-diabetic. My doctor said I was healthy. It was an unexpected Christmas gift. Nevertheless one moment you are fine and the next moment you are not. Separate from my initial results during the same time a lump had been discovered in my left breast. As the mammogram was being conducted I knew it was serious. The biopsy delivered news that I was neither prepared nor expecting to hear. Thanks to an amazing team of doctors my surgery went well. Now June 2021 by the grace of God I do not have cancer! I can now say that I am healthy inside and out. I will be blessed to celebrate another birthday in July. Anita

They have some pretty cool coaches that help guide you and encourage you to push your limits but they do not push or punish you, and I appreciate that. If you don't like crowded gyms or don't really know how to do workouts on your own or you enjoy group workouts I will highly recommend trying a free class with them.

Sweating, running, push-ups, pull-ups, etc., and being expected to complete the series of assigned exercises? You probably also remember the last time you were able to do all those things with ease when you were 12. Well, Body Camp is like that. As an adult, I appreciate the simplicity of conditioning your body by using your own strength and resistance. No gym, no weights, just good old-fashioned physical labor. For me, SEAL PT is the best workout. I took classes years ago, but moved and had to drop out. I'm hoping to achieve this time around what I did then, which is to get into the best shape of my life. Graduating to the more difficult Boot Camp and eventually becoming a Lifer would be great, too. The camaraderie and results can't be found in a gym. As a side note, Instructor Harris is not boring! At least my body doesn't think so - three days straight of his workouts required multiple Advils just to function.

Kinitro has that perfect balance of chill and drive that you need to get you through your workouts. I loved that the classes are held in the open area, because it's motivating to see others doing their thing. And can we say, the details matter ― the music is always on point, the ladies room has hairbands in case you forgot yours, and the coaches remember your name. Big shoutout to Coach Mark, he creates beasts of a workout and he really cares about your form. Also the coaches have great taste in water bottles, you know all about that water bottle fashion these days. Everything is clean and the gym-goers all contribute to keeping a tidy environment. I love that the turf is easy on the joints. I can't wait to come through again to try the Pilates classes and more. Keep it going, Coach John! We see you keeping Houston Strong!!
