Working out and eating healthy have become cornerstones of my weekly schedule and I've now found that I don't feel as good in the week if I am off track in either area. Carlos is easy going, pushes hard where needed, and allows you to go at the pace that suits you, while still holding you accountable and getting you out of your comfort zone. Carlos has a flexible schedule, which is helpful if you work office hours, and has a great app/portal with all the information/plans that accompany your workouts. The biggest obstacle for me at the beginning was taking the big step to committing to having someone hold me accountable to my training goals, and Carlos has made it a great experience!

I have been surrounded by health professionals my whole life and Lorenz is one of the most knowledgeable that I know. I would recommend Lorenz for body work treatment, personal training, and nutritional advice.

Was hugely disappointed as the same thing he mentioned on second day that time I did not even ask anything.

If you don't mind the way you are answered and treated and main objective is to workout go for it.

I'm so glad I decided to join this gym a few years ago. First and foremost, Jon and Keith are…read moreexceptional coaches. They don't just focus on helping you work out, they genuinely care about your overall health and well-being, which is something I haven't experienced at many gyms. Before joining, I had only ever done cardio, so strength training was brand new to me. I was a little intimidated at first about the idea of strength training , but from day one, they made the whole process feel approachable. They don't just tell you what to do, they explain the science behind the exercises, why you're doing them, and help you progress at your own pace. Their goal isn't to compare you to anyone else, but simply to help you become a stronger version of yourself. After training here for several years, I'm not only physically stronger, but I actually understand what I'm doing in the gym. I've learned proper form, when it's okay to push myself, and when it's smarter to hold back instead of ego lifting. One thing I really appreciate about Jon is that he wants people to become independent. He teaches you how to work out correctly so that if you're traveling or can't make it to the gym, you still have the knowledge and confidence to continue exercising safely on your own. That mindset says a lot about how much he genuinely wants his members to succeed. The community here is another reason I love this gym. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and supportive, making it a place you actually look forward to coming back to. Something else that really stands out is that they never make you feel like they're trying to sell you something. During a difficult period in my life, Jon was incredibly understanding. He encouraged me to take the time I needed instead of making me feel guilty for missing workouts. When I was dealing with a shoulder issue, he modified my workouts, had me skip certain exercises, and made sure I used lighter weights so I could recover safely without pushing myself too hard.That level of care is something I truly appreciate, and it's a big reason I've stayed here for so many years. And of course, I have to give a shout-out to Adri, she's an absolute sweetheart! I genuinely love everything about this gym and couldn't recommend it more.

I am writing this (perfect timing) after a 45 min run, with zero knee pain, and all the running…read morehighs! I found Alex in January of 2015. I had just come from a weekend away in Palm Springs, where I had planned to relax, run, and engage in as much fitness as possible. I headed out for a run on New Years Day; new shoes, new lululemon pants, new Garmin watch, and after about 20 min. my outer knee was in so much pain I had to basically walk the rest of the way home. I was devastated and confused. Not only had I run for about an hour for 2 days in a row prior, I have been an avid runner since High School. Even with icing my knee for about 3 days straight, nothing was helping and I knew I had done something more serious. My history of running - I have run a total of around 4 or 5 half marathons easily, no knee pain since 2012. Completed many 10K's and casual runs on my own at least twice a week for years. It was something that happened so out of the blue, I am just thankful that Alex entered my life when he did. He started out with the basics, which at the time seemed a little out of context. "What other workouts do you do? What has changed in your exercise in the last year". I couldn't really come up with much, other than lots of YOGA. Becoming a certified Yoga teacher and basically doing yoga everyday for the past year only seemed like it was helping my running. Of course. Alex saw this as a red flag right away. With the types of exercises that I was engaging in on a weekly basis, I was only extending ligaments and asking parts of my body (my knee) to over compensate. This then effected my IT band, more weight in my calfs, soreness, you name it. It's a vicious cycle. After about 5 sessions with Alex - he not only identified the root cause of my pain, but trained me to run in a different pattern so I could alleviate the pain, without having to give up what I love. We took everything in phases, added in weights, combined static movements with real time workouts and in no time, I was back. To this day pain or not, I have shifted the way I run bc he has taught to me always look ahead. Alex sees prevention of injury like no one else I have ever met. I am not a very optimistic person when it comes to my body, bc I am very in tune with how it wants operate, or not operate for that matter. I was completely in awe when I made it through my first 30 min. From January 25th, when I tried to run a 5K and made it 5 min, to about mid February, I was running about 25-30 min. and now, I can run over an hour with no knee pain. Alex sees things and connections that no one else I have ever see does. I went to 2 different knee specialists who were runners themselves and left with very little optimism, and zero improvement. Alex has a holistic approach to the body that cannot necessarily be taught. It's in his intuitive nature and he sees the way in which body connects. This knowledge that he has is why he can not only guide people to overcome their injuries, but can advise on how to avoid degenerative tendencies that come with age, overuse, and in my opinion... a passion for your sport. I couldn't be more thankful for his knowledge, expertise and precision when it comes to the human body and protecting it for the rest of the active I life I have. Thanks Alex! :)

This is were life becomes a marvel! Challenges occurred. FWRD+ focused, stayed on track and prevailed. The new location is a class junkie's spaced-out dream! Yes! There is plenty of space, fresh air with giant fans, rollup doors and beautiful plants. It's at least 4 times the size.

Multiply this with the quality classes, merchandise and other woman-owned options like Fresh Creations, you've got more opportunities.
