They are a caring and competent team, always looking out for the best interests of their clients. They positively challenge without yelling, a big plus for me! It's a one-on-one exercise experience and there is generally only one other client working in the boutique gym at the same time with another coach. I look forward to participating in the metabolic challenge next week to get my eating back on track. I highly recommend The Exercise Coach!

Huge thanks to my friend Ali K for suggesting we meet up for a BOL workout during my recent visit…read moreto town, and of course to Steve Alley himself for not only making me feel welcome, but for a kick ass HIIT workout early Saturday am! I am guessing that this studio likely doesn't need any more word of mouth due to the classes getting waitlisted already, but I wanted to show some love and gratitude this week anyways. Hidden in an unassuming office building complex, this studio is a local gem that offers small group sessions using the latest technology along with everything from kettlebells dumbbells, body-weight, medicine balls, cardio machines and so much more... If you're interested in pushing your body to the next level, and you want to be surrounded by likeminded folks working hard in a fun environment, check this place out... If I lived in the area, I'd absolutely make it a priority for BOL functional workouts to be part of my daily / weekly routine, but for now, I'll just drop in on occasion... See you when I'm back in town for a visit!

I grew up nearby and am in the area several times every year -- and I'm glad CFB will be my gym away from home when I'm there. Other boxes I've tried in the area were too macho, impersonal, or big, the kind of places where beginners might get lost in a class or trainers can't pay real attention to how people are doing physically demanding movements. I enjoyed working with Hillary, who was very attentive and gave me some very helpful feedback on my form, even though I was a drop-in client. The workout included a more intensive metcon than I'm used to, but it was fun! The other people in the class were friendly and welcomed me immediately, which I think is always a sign of a great gym culture.

The workout was very challenging, however, the instructors had many variations for the people who couldn't make it through the normal routine! After the workout was complete my whole body was sore (in a good way) and I felt like I had really gotten a good one! The facility is large and open, plenty of room for you to do what you need to do! I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone, beginner to expert! Ask for Georgia she is the best instructor they have!!

They'll work with you to help you achieve your goals, and adjust your workouts as those goals change and evolve. When I started with them, I wanted to lose weight. Then I wanted to build strength and do push-ups and pull-ups and more. Then I wanted to learn to run. Then I wanted to build endurance for half marathons. Then marathons. You get the idea. Reid, my personal trainer, has been there every step of the way. They push me to get stronger, but also know when I need to slow down or take a step back to recover. I definitely recommend motiv8 fitness if you want one on one attention to crush your fitness goals.

It really is a great place to get a great workout in. I love all the trainers, (Chris, Sarah, and Reid) they are all so motivational, supporting, knowledgeable, and just fun people. The class size wasn't too big or small, and we all supported each other. I loved going to the evening classes and early Saturday morning. In my short period at Motiv8 I lost 1.8lbs, but more importantly I LOST 1.2% OF BODY FAT! That is a great feeling, also that I can now do 15 pushups before burning out - when I started I could only do 10! When the new year hits, I'll be joining! You should come join with me!

Kathy and all the trainers push you to perform at your best because they know everyone at the gym, because of this they also are more than happy to provide modifications around injuries or abilities.

I will leave you with my final thoughts on why I love this place, the class is challenging but fun and the clients and trainers are so welcoming.

I exaggerate only slightly. When I decided that enough was enough, I gave this studio a call. They just opened in March '08 - since it's so new, I was able to snag a package discount (10%) and get to work out in relative peace with my trainer. The space is new, wide-open and minimalistic, with all of the newest gadgets that usually intimidate the hell out of me. I don't really do bigger gyms at all and have worked with a personal trainer before, so I was happy to find one close to home. There are a few trainers on staff right now. I have been working with Brad, who seriously kicks (my) ass. The workouts have been tough for this little marshmallow, but I feel so great after just about a month of sessions and can definitely perceive a difference. He is certified and has a background in sports med (kinesiology? I haven't gotten into it) so he has a physiologic approach to my workouts that I appreciate. I've seen the other patrons getting their butts kicked by the other trainer there, too. Yeah, it's spendy. It's a commitment. It's worth it to me, because I am just not one of those people who enjoys the gym or is self-motivated enough to even get there. And it works! Activity always does...

I arrived early (before the place opened up) for the 6am class. The instructor gave me run down of the class and how to use the machine. I signed a waiver before getting started. They have cubbies to put your belongings. They sell really cute sock if you need some. There's a mirror on the wall so you can see yourself to make sure you're in the correct position. Listening is important so you know what to do. You can also look at your classmates to see what they are doing in case you're unsure. It's a small class of only about 10 people. The exercises are simple but require strength and stamina. The instructors have feedback and helped me to get into the correct position. There's no cardio involved but it's a great full body workout. I'd love to come back.
