PF is a BEAUTIFUL and clean space, that is well designed, and has a good amount of equipment available. The locker rooms and showers are clean and quite nice, as are the tanning rooms and hydromassage areas. The front desk staff is professional and helpful - some seem really overwhelmed at times with all the things they have to do. I hope they get some self-check-in kiosks to scan cards on your own and make things move smoother and fasters - maybe for the tanning booths, total body and hydromassage too. The personal trainer, Marcella is AWESOME! She is very helpful and knowledgeable. She helped me immensely in one session! A problem I ran into is there are a very limited amount of orientation classes and Design Your Own classes offered in (early) evening hours and all seem to be in the daytime during standard work hours. Not being a lunkhead and holding a 9-5 job, I am unable to attend during the time so I had to wait almost a week to get the information I needed to get rolling. I voiced my unhappiness with the manager Brandon, who informed me it is a corporate franchise rule and it is they who manage the class schedule. I hope he conveys how unhelpful that is for working folks and they can make it easier for newbies and unfit folks to return to a gym to offer more orientation and design your town classes, especially in evenings and weekends and not just during the day, during the week. I mean heck, do they really want old people like me who haven't been in a gym since Ronald Reagan was president wandering around their gym, not knowing what to do and end up getting hurt? If they fix, I bet that place will totally be a five-star place! Oh, one last thing. The franchise owner should consider buying the rest of the old Sears space and adding a pool and sauna rooms. You can make it a full-service gym.

He has attended goalie training here for several summers and the programming is decent and worth a look if your player needs some extra lessons. My only complaint is that the facility staff is not friendly and welcoming. They're not mean or rude, but they seem disinterested when asked questions. Once I was on my computer at one of the tables in the front and the custodian literally scoffed at me when I mentioned that I would put my chair up after I was done. I guess he wanted to have all the chairs up before his shift ended. Even with the lack of service, we'll be back.

Results speak louder than words. I have lost 73 pounds as of today with Fit4Life by Alonzo. I chose…read moreto start my health fitness journey here with Alonzo's 21 day Jump Start Program. I was so successful with that program that I decided to continue with this journey and it as been the best decision for my health I have ever made. I put my trust in Alonzo's program and I have reached goal after goal. So much success that my doctor told me to keep listening to Alonzo!!! My doctor showed me how my health screenings have went from VERY BAD to EXCELLENT since starting with fit4life by alonzo. This is definetly the place to get fit, to stay fit or get stronger.

When I first met with Alonzo everything seemed great. I explained my situation and he talked a…read morelittle about why he became a trainer. The trial was great so I signed up for a year contract. This is when things changed. Alonzo has a habit of throwing your insecurities back in your face. I can handle a tough trainer but he was borderline verbally abusive. He ended my contract after a couple of months because I tried to tell him how hurtful his approach was to me. He came across very cocky and honestly I don't think he values his customers. His attitude is well you can go not what can I do to make things better. Before kicking me out he made a point to bring up the fact I was late on my payments before and he waived the late fees because of my situation. I never asked him to waive anything because he never even said anything to me about being late until bringing up the way he spoke to me. At first I was not going to leave a review but I will not allow anyone to silence me and act as if I were the problem. I'm not the only woman he has done similar things to and I hope they find the courage to speak up as well. If you decide to work with him please be aware he will be contacting you on social media, 2 apps and text messages and expects you to promptly answer him but he can only be reached during working hours and will take a few days to respond. Oh unless it is something bad. You won't really receive a personal nutrition plan it's more like a generic email he sends to everyone, he will show up late to 85% of your classes but will expect you to be on time or cancel within a certain time or pushups it is, and lastly never received one dexa scan even though its suppose to come with the membership.

I had been wanting to try a Barre class for some time, but due to being extremely intimidated by…read morethe stock photos of the extremely fit women in generic Barre classes, I always found an excuse not to go. After staring at my veggie food baby that had been growing over the winter, I finally decided that it was time to take a chance and face my fears. I scoped out Yelp and came across Orinoco. They have the best introductory prices in the area (first class) and I could actually afford their single class fees ($16/class) and multiple class packages without having to sell a kidney ($78/6 Barre classes). They have a variety of classes from yoga and mat Pilates, to Tai Chi, to my new favorite, barre. I also love that the class times actually work with my schedule, as most gyms only seem to have schedules that fit a stay-at-home mom's (or dad's) or student's daily schedule. I dragged one of my friends to my first 10:05 Saturday morning Barre class (because who wants to be scared and tortured alone?!) Ana, the owner, greeted us as soon as we entered the doors and was very friendly and personable (she even remembered me the next Saturday when I brought my sister in with me). She went through their schedule, pricing, and special events that were coming up, but didn't pressure either of us to signup for anything which is UNHEARD of anymore. Maria is an amazing instructor and teaches the Saturday morning classes I have been attending. She truly pushes you to do your best, but makes sure you do not over-exert yourself at the same time. She's constantly adjusting posture and techniques of each individual student so that you truly get the most out of your workout. And let me add that this is probably one of the cleanest gyms/studios I have been to in the surrounding area! Love it! I'm so glad that I found this place and cannot wait to start adding more classes to my workout schedule! I highly recommend Orinoco for anyone who is looking for a new gym that features group classes.

Meko and his positive encouragement makes the sweat and hard work worth it. He definitely pushes me harder than I want sometimes (he's kind but tough), but I know it's because he wants me to achieve my health and fitness (and weight loss) goals. He's a gem and I'm lucky to have been referred to him from a friend who also works out with him. The facility is private and there is a bathroom and a place to shower if you have to go to work right after the workout.

Laura spends time to learn about each client, their goals, and creates a dedicated plan that will ensure success.

She first connected me to Gittel Kanter, who helped me regain balance where childbirth and the rest of life had left me a bit short on physical confidence. She helped me remember where my strength is, and she worked diligently to support my freezing shoulder in ways that allowed me to continue challenging myself. When I needed to switch trainers due to unexpected family-related scheduling issues, Izzy helped to make the transition as seamless as possible, and I've been working with success with Amanda Newman since then.

It wasn't the weight that bothered me. It was my inability to do various activities with my family. I choose to sign up for his 42 day program and lost 23 pounds. I kept working with David and lost another 29 pounds. The weight loss has been great; however, more important to me is how my life has changed. I'm off my blood pressure medication, I have signed up for a 5K, and can take my grandson on a 10 mile bike ride. My health and quality of life has significantly improved. I've never been hungry or felt any of the training was beyond my abilities. I have learned what it looks like to eat right and take care of myself. The small class size allows us to support one another. David made minor modifications to the exercises so I could build strength and accommodate the osteoarthritis in my knee. David has treated me with respect, demonstrated discretion, and worked with me to achieve what I felt was important. If you are looking for someone to work alongside you, to help you achieve what is important to you, David at EmpowerU fitness is absolutely the way to go!
