Ethos Athletics is a newer gym and fitness center in Burlington. It's located in the brick building…read moreacross from the City Market South End on Flynn Ave. The gym is a clean, no-frills gym, which is conducive for a focused workout. There isn't a weight room per se; you work with different instructors and trainers and use the weights, TRX, cables, punching bags, etc. available. There are numerous group fitness classes for all interests from times ranging as early as 7am to 7pm: TRX, TRX Strong, TRX Bootcamp, TRX Express, H.I.T.T., F.I.T., Strength and Conditioning, Total Body ABC (Arms, Butt, Core), Box Fit, HIITBox, CoreBox, Total Body Circuit Training, ETHOS Bootcamp, Yoga. There are also certified massage therapists on site that do various massage modalities and therapies, including the Grafton Technique, trigger-point therapy, Swedish, and cupping. I've taken several classes with Anna Bohen Judge. Anna Bohen Judge is a yoga, TRX fitness instructor, and personal trainer that is one of several instructors at Ethos. I've attended her TRX and yoga and even had some personal training from her. Anna is extremely patient and kind, offering help with form and making modifications for those with physical limitations. Her TRX class is pretty awesome, using Tabatas in H.I.T.T. format as part of the program. Her restorative yoga class takes away stress and any aches and pains. I also went to massage therapist Joy Snow for help with my chronic shoulder issue and arm. She not only worked out the issue, but also explained to me why it may have happened and exercises to do in order to prevent it in the future. Ethos offers an excellent array of classes and services. There are several different membership offerings, plus punch cards that are highly reasonable. I highly recommend this gym for your fitness needs.

Align Cycling just opened up in June after being in the Burlington area and being previously known…read moreas REV. They've expanded their mission and now offer both fitness and cycling classes at their studio. I took a fitness class this week, which was an hour long, and what I loved about it is that they focused on mobility, posture and form while lifting, and core strength. We spent the first 15 minutes warming up, stretching, and rolling out our muscles. I love that it was focused on form and mobility, unlike other fitness classes I've taken. I also took a spin class here and their spin studio is huge and beautiful! It had so many bikes! They also use headsets for their spin studio, which I had never used before. You can adjust the volume for your personal headset and listen to the music as loud as you like. This was so appreciated because I always have to use earplugs at other studios because the music is so loud. The bikes also have baskets for regular sneakers OR you can turn over the pedals and clip in with spin shoes, I've never seen that before, it's so cool! You can rent spin shoes here for $3. A couple things to note: they don't offer a free class for your first time in the studio, and most studios I've been to offer a free class to explore the studio and see if you're interested in their space. I'm curious if this will change as they become more established. They have class packs for their fit classes, and class packs for their spin classes, but they don't have combined class packs unless you get their unlimited studio pass, which I was a little bummed about because I had wanted to try both. I just purchased a day pass for each class - the fitness class drop in is $24 for an hour long class, and the spin class drop in is $22 for a 45 minute class. They also don't provide towels for their classes, which would be a nice addition. Most spin studios I've gone to provide towels for their guests. The studio is beautiful and clean, and all of the equipment looks brand new. I'm excited to see this place grow as they continue to make adjustments and become established in the community!

I would not pay $55 a month for access to cardio machines and a weight room that only comes with dumb bells, a handful of kettlebells, and TRX straps. It was awkward when I was said, "oh, heh, heh, I guess you guys don't have barbells and stuff"; doubly more so when the trainer who was giving me the tour kind of said something about the "modern trend" being functional fitness, which is why they didn't have those things. Pshh. If I wanted to partake in "modern trends" I would go to a trendy exercise class, not to the weight room of a gym, where one expects to be able to lift heavy things.

Having worked with several different sports therapists throughout my college athletics career, I…read morecan confidently say that Brian is one of the best I have met. I was referred to On Track for a lingering shoulder issue, and Brian was able to quickly assess the problems and make a plan. In a little less than two months, my shoulder has shown remarkable improvement, and Brian has also started to help me become aware of and fix some of my other mechanical deficiencies. In my opinion, the best part about Brian's approach is that he really breaks things down to find the root cause of the problem. In my case it was a lack of core stability and postural awareness, so we worked on loosening up the affected area with massage therapy, and building strength and proprioception through various exercises, many of which were new to me. Brian is also really good about being attentive throughout the session - he literally watches every single rep you do and makes sure your posture and form are correct. This is extremely helpful if you are trying to correct a bad mechanic or weak muscle group, because it can be hard to maintain the proper movement pattern without a lot of guidance. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend On Track to anyone with a sports-related injury (nagging or serious), and especially if you are looking to invest some time and effort into rebuilding a particular body mechanic or motion that you are struggling with.

My experience with Marla and her crew at Queen City Bikram is still in it's infancy, but I can tell…read moreyou that I have never felt so welcome and encouraged in a fitness atmosphere. I struggle, a real, true struggle, but the instructors and clients keep you going and encourage you to return to your mat. Sometimes I have to skip a posture (or maybe more) and there is no judgement, no ridicule; I really appreciate that I'm not being held to a standard or expectation, that I can come and be me and do what I am able. While I certainly spent my first few visits looking around thinking 'dang, how the hell... ummm my body can't twist like that' I quickly learned that everything comes with time and that letting your body move at it's own pace will yield truly amazing results. Lowering my expectation for instant results and just being in the moment has really been rewarding for my mind and body. I honestly feel like I might die every time I go, but lo and behold, I'm still standing and even better, I'm improving. I can see and I can feel it. The most notable thing about Queen City Bikram is truly how welcoming they are. The yoga world can be intimidating (yes, weird I know) and I have had a hefty handful of snobbery in my attempts to incorporate yoga into my ever-developing healthy lifestyle. I assure that if you have had similar experience, but long to put something new into your fitness mix that you should give Queen City Bikram a try. They have an awesome deal for new students $30 for 30 days and it is a great way for you to give it a try without investing a whole lot into it right off the bat. The studio is awesome, clean with a simplistic style. They have showers and a changing room that are available to use. You can also rent a mat if you forget, or don't have one. They offer a number of classes with at least one everyday, which makes it easy to work around a busy schedule. Also, once a month they do a black light class with a dj, I haven't made it to one yet, but it sure sounds like a blast! Need more encouragement? Check out their website, when I was gonna bail the website encouraged me to show up and gave me a burst of acceptance before I even walked in the door. Everyone has their first day... maybe it's your turn?
