After 20-some years of working out at W-B/Scranton gyms, I've seen the entire spectrum of big…read moreboxes, boutiques, and boxing gyms. None, even on their best days, have compared to what is offered at Leverage. For years I confused what I "need" in a gym with what I like to tell people my gym has. It turns out I don't need tracks, pools, or extensive cardio rooms - I just need to see a challenging workout sizing me up from a chalkboard to get me going. For years I made the mistake of dragging myself to the gym for cardio-machine-based workouts with weight lifting. The results were OK, but they were nothing compared to Leverage's "B-WOW" workouts or intense Primal Scream group circuit workouts. When I leave here after only an hour of intensity, my body continues to blast calories and rebuild for days. This involves no cardio machines, and almost no weights. But it involves a LOT of time spent outside my workout comfort zone, and that's why it's so effective. The facility itself isn't much to see, but it has everything: free weights, kettles, balls, TRX bands, ropes hanging bars, mats, boxes ... oh, and a few machines. Towels are complimentary on the floor and the locker rooms, which are the cleanest locker rooms and showers (steam showers) you'll see anywhere. There are restrooms in the White House that aren't this clean, and I know because I've been there enough times. In fact, the entire gym is in a constant state of hyper cleanliness. And that's what I "need" to see at my gym. I need to see the trainer in the gym working out and swishing a mop across the floor. I want a trainer who lives the job, not just comes in for an eight-hour cubicle shift. And more importantly, I need to see other people in the gym for the same reason I'm there: RESULTS.

This means a lot especially being a very overweight individual. I have never been looked at funny or made fun of in any way. There are no sideways glances or finger pointing. Just tons of encouragement and praise from members and trainers alike!! Is it clean? It is by far the cleanest gym I have ever been in!! The equipment is sparkling clean as are the floors. The locker rooms, sauna and showers are spotless. Members are very diligent in wiping down the equipment they are finished using. Overall Vive is a great investment!!!

I found Vive through an online advertisement that was offering a FREE 6 week training session for…read moremen my age. I understood that this training would be free if I were to succeed in completing the 6 week program, otherwise I would pay the cost of the training. I was excited to start this challenge. When I arrived for my orientation, I was told that we were going to disregard the advertisement and promptly shown the cost of their personal training programs (over $1,000/month). I lost all trust with this gym. Even though the facilities seemed fine, the false advertisement and tactics that were used to get me in the door were ultimately the reason I will never go back. Caution: Vive only cares about how much money they can get you to pay them. They have little interest in you or your health goals.
