This location is no exception, although the facilities and equipment have definitely seen better days. The staff seem to be trying their best to inject some life into the location. There is still a lot to appreciate here: a jacuzzi, dry sauna, women's steam room, pool, basketball court, and racquetball courts. Their current condition, however, is a different story. The group exercise classes are solid, with options for nearly every fitness level and type of workout. Most of the Group X classes at this location use MOSSA programming. They are challenging enough to provide a good workout, but still approachable and beginner-friendly. At the same time, a facility offering this range of amenities is probably costly to operate and maintain. This location, in particular, is overdue for meaningful investment and modernization. The membership has increasingly shifted toward an older demographic, perhaps because of the emphasis on wellness and recovery. Families appear to come mainly for the pool, while younger members gravitate toward the basketball court. The racquetball courts have seen better days and have now been converted into multifunctional spaces, which is a bit sad. Evening group classes that once drew large crowds now rarely exceed five participants, with one or two exceptions. The morning classes are killing it, in contrast. The range of fitness equipment is comprehensive. There is a machine for almost every type of functional training or exercise, but much of it is very dated. It is almost a chicken-and-egg question. Would renovating and investing in the facility attract a new group of members who could help sustain the business, or does the gym first need to attract those members to afford the renovation? That seems to be where this location stands at the moment. For me, things are still good enough that I continue to go, but they could certainly be better.

Did you ever find a place- any place- that you loved so much, you wanted to tell everyone you knew…read moreabout it, but really wanted to keep it all to yourself, both at once? That's how I feel about What Is Movement. I keep putting off writing this. Because I want to keep it my secret place. But... Really, everyone should check this place out. What Is Movement is a gym/studio owned by Jayme and Jamie, a husband and wife team, who have created this amazing, supportive community. "Boy Jamie" (yes, that's how they refer to each other!) teaches kettle bell, ViPR (google it, seriously, it's so cool), and metabolic resistance training classes, in addition to personal training. "Girl Jayme" teaches yoga, and does private yoga and body work sessions, as well as running a Monday night "stitch and bitch" group. And there are more members of the team: Jessie teaches Forrest yoga on Thursday nights; Gianna teaches yoga three times a week; and they have just added a chiropractor and massage therapist to their growing group of health gurus. I found What Is Movement through Jessie; Jessie is an amazing Forrest yoga teacher. I would drive nearly anywhere for one of her classes. So, I started making my way to Warwick once a week for her class. I found myself enchanted by the atmosphere at What Is Movement, and asked Jessie about the other classes. The ViPR classes especially intrigued me, but I had a pretty significant hand injury, and wasn't sure it would be something I could do. Jessie suggested I talk to Jayme before trying out a class. Jayme knows his... Stuff. Since I first talked to him, I've tried all of his classes, and have been consistently impressed with his ability as an instructor in every modality. He watches each student, remembers injuries and provides modifications, and plans for each person to be successful in every single class. I leave his classes sweaty and sore, but stronger and more confident each time. Jayme's enthusiasm is contagious! And you'll get to know how intense the class will be by what music is blasting when you walk in (Metallica? It's gonna be as upper intense class). Jamie is also a skilled instructor, who uses her knowledge of yoga and anatomy to make each class beneficial for each student. Her bodywork sessions leave you feeling more free, able to breathe deeper. She brings a calm, healing warmth to both her classes and individual sessions. So that's my secret. A wonderful place, supportive community, run by knowledgable and caring people. You really should try it out.

F45 is a franchised gym that offers a fast-paced fun group workout roughly alternating days…read morefocusing on upper body, cardio, lower body, and full body/abs/cardio. The workouts focus on "functional" fitness and are 45 minutes long (except for one hour-long session a week), hence the F45 name. The workout for the day is the same program whether you're exercising in Australia where the program began or here in little Rhody. (Very cool today to take a 9am session here while my daughter took the same one in LA.) Pre-registration is required as there is a limit of 28 participants in any class - at least in this club. The goal to to move fast, sweat, and develop some camaraderie with your fellow participants and partner for the day - high fives are pretty much mandated. Two staff members work at every session. They explain and QUICKLY demo each move and describe the circuit. You and your "partner" - assuming an even numbers of people in the class, you are paired with someone who moves through your circuit with you - start at an assigned station and receive direction and timing from a video screen demo'ing your move as you do it. The staff regularly visit everyone in the room giving support and encouragement and some comments to assist with your form, weight selection, and (in my case) an explanation of the occasionally confusing progression through the circuit. The sales material says the program works for all fitness levels but if you are not used to regular strength training, this probably isn't for you: it's fast and many of the exercises are complex (upper and lower body combined even on leg- or arm-only day, with cardio because of the limited rest periods so it's always a HIIT program), the weights start at 10 pounds, and many of the safety tips aren't consistently given (knees above ankles for a lunge, roll your shoulders back and don't collapse into it...), and it is WICKED FUN!!! The staff are friendly, the club is clean, the equipment is great (y-bells, Thor's hammers, multi-handled sand bags, in addition to the expected kettlebells, dumb bells,etc). Pricing is higher than a "gym," more like a Pilates or yoga studio. Again, I loved it - but this won't be the place for everyone.
