I'm in…read moremy second week now and I actually look forward to working out! that's a first for me... ever! The staff is quick to help; motivate and welcome you. Kim in the mornings is awesome! I look forward to working with her every day. Like a lot of the other reviews mention; I don't even feel like I've been there an hour; it goes by so fast! But the workouts are intense and are set up in a way that I always feel motivated to push myself. (More than I ever have before) I am happy to report that I am signing up for a year membership; as well as their 6 week body transformation that starts in a couple of weeks. (Nutrition based). If you haven't found a gym or program that works for you, I urge you to try TF for a month!

I first learned about Torched on Facebook. I was hesitant to get started but bit the bullet and…read moresigned up for a boot camp. WOW. I have belonged to several gyms over the years and they don't hold a candle to Torched. I went to 24 Hour Fitness for the hours but it didn't stick. I tried Club Fitness for the price but it was really intimidating and I wound up feeling lost and out of place the whole time. I gave up on gym life for a while but eventually was lured to Planet Fitness by their promise of a no judgement zone. Sure, I never felt judged but it also never felt like a gym. It was too easy to talk myself into biking for ten minutes then getting a massage. Eventually I wound up using it pretty much just for the tanning. So fast forward to the beginning of 2018 and I'm the heaviest I've ever been, looking at a rigorous work/school schedule, and trying to have a baby with my husband. I needed a change. So I signed up for Torched and had a sit down with Jeremy, the head dude. We talked about my goals and about where I had failed - nix that - where my gyms had failed me before. I bought his sales pitch and decided to try out the 6 week boot camp because, worst case scenario, it's only six weeks, right? DUDE. I was a little nervous the first day because I've never done this sort of pseudo-cross-fit-circuit-training type of thing before. The trainer, Daniel, was a star, though, and walked me through it step by step. The second day was easier, then the third, until suddenly I realize I'm three weeks in and I'm LOVING IT. I go at 5am and see pretty much the same people every week. I feel like I'm making friends - I look forward to seeing them and working out with a great group of people keeps me motivated to keep pushing forward when I'm tired and want to stop. Everyone I've met has been friendly and kind and motivated to work hard and do better. The trainer in the morning, Emily, is brilliant. I pulled a muscle and hurt my knee (not at the gym!) during the boot camp and she was right there with me during my workouts to make sure that I was taking care of my injuries while still getting the most out of my time. Well, sadly I didn't finish the boot camp, but for good reason. The last week I found out I'm pregnant! I sat down with Jeremy again and we talked it all through. He's super supportive and is dedicated to making sure that I can still have a safe, effective workout throughout my pregnancy. I signed up for a whole year! Never in my life did I ever think that *I* would love going to the gym (mostly because video games are amazing and pizza is like crack). I guess it took finding the right gym.

Let me preface this by saying this is the first bad review I've ever written, but it must be said…read more I would rather work out naked in the middle of the Arctic Circle in the dead of winter than ever step foot in this gym again. I signed up for personal training sessions, which turned out to be quite worthless but could perhaps have some value if you don't know how to use the internet and have never exercised in your life. My trainer bailed on me twice after I was already at the gym for our session. Trying to cancel has been a complete mess. There is a 30-day cancellation clause -- understood. I called to cancel on January 21 -- 31 days before my next bill would be paid. The manager told me he submitted the cancellation and I would not be charged again. He didn't tell me that this was actually not true, and that the cancellation would not be in effect until I signed paperwork in person. He did say to come in and sign the paperwork whenever I could, which is easier said than done because I had to sign it with a manager present, and that dude seems unable to return a phone call. Seeing that I was billed again a month later, I went in to talk to someone in person. They told me to wait for the manager, who wasn't in yet but "better be soon" because their shift was almost over. I waited for him to come in and explained the situation, signed the paperwork, and he told me that I would not be charged again. You'll never guess what happens next...... I was charged for another month. The same day my trainer told me that he quit and would be in touch with next steps. Guess who never heard any next steps and is now paying for sessions with a non-existent trainer! Meeeeee :) So I call again to get this sorted out, and after several calls because the manager did not call me when the front desk person said he would, he told me he would submit a request for refund. Somehow in the course of a couple of minutes, he underwent some remarkable mental gymnastics to change his mind -- I could not be refunded, but he would give me ~~~ one comp session ~~~, as though that would be worth the two months I paid in sessions that I did not want. I said no thanks. He said he'd have the regional manager get in touch, then hung up before I could ask for her phone number. Upon calling AGAIN, he said that he couldn't give me her information but that he would /pass my email along/. Also the smoothies are bad.

This is a great gym that is loads better than the Club Fitness nearest my house (Hampton Village…read more.. ugh just thinking about that dungeon free weights room makes me cringe). However, this CF is much newer and very nice. There are lots of lockers and enough showers and bathrooms so that I've never had to wait to use the bathroom (although I've only showered there once). There's also a sauna in the women's locker room; I don't know about the men's side, though. What I like about this location is that it's clean and bright, the equipment is newer and it isn't all cramped together. The layout makes sense to me. There are I think 3 regular squat racks and one of the assisted ones, so usually there's no wait or just a few minutes (less than 5). If I go, it's around 4 or 5 ish after work, but it never seems way too packed to worked out. Also, I don't lift/squat/bench etc. as much weight as super intense gym people, so it's never a problem for me to find the weights that I need. Oh and there are also free massage chairs. You just have to go to the counter to get the token for it. There are other services like group classes, 24/7 access, childcare, and personal trainers for hire.

A very knowledgeable upbeat personable welcoming manager. If it wasn't for her I honestly probably wouldn't bother even going due to the fact I already belong to a gym. She needs to be recognized for her selling expertise her technique is perfect not pushy answers all of your questions makes time to meet you in person being a professional in the medical field these are all qualifications that keep your customers your patience your people to feel important and comfortable! she definitely needs to be noticed and I will make sure I check up to see if she is and if she is not I will have 10 other people I will refer to this gym to speak to her with 10 more five stars for Tasha!! give this woman a raise she goes beyond and above her duties. Having a background general management has taught me the more incentives you give your staff the harder they will work . With that being said she will have your gym at full capacity. Making this company prosper and grow. To keep her around she definitely needs a promotion or a pay raise! Again I will make sure I check to see if anything has come out of this review and I won't stop until something does. I will bring in 10 more people and have 10 more reviews for her good staff is hard to replace she's worth it!

First, I had posted in my neighborhood facebook group and I think 85% of the people who commented recommended this place, and they were doing 7 free classes, so I decided to try it out!

I even had a member there tell me good job after my workout (it's the little things that count ) It's hard, but so rewarding when you finish the workouts. The workouts make the 55 minutes go by so fast! AND, the membership pricing varies and is very affordable, especially for the experience and level. I can tell it's such a great group of members and trainers and I can't wait to see how much I improve and get STRONGER! Thanks for me neighbors for recommending, I will do the same :)

I looked for who had a good Day Pass and featured Bench/DL platforms in the Social Media posts. (I have been to a lot of sub optimal gyms where I wouldn't feel comfortable hitting a respectable bench there.) Lift STL certainly met my needs.

A wide variety of barbells to meet any specific needs -- including one Strongman log, DBs up to 120#, about all the machines you could need, and lots of turf for conditioning drills. If you need it, they likely have it. Personnel were kind and welcoming & put up with my occasional #OldManNoise while lifting. Facility was clean, easy to get to, & lots of nearby parking.
