    Simply the best guides in VT. I had the most incredible adventure with today with Zack ice climbing even though the weather was a bit rough in the morning with some cold rain. I already told 3 friends what a great time I had and can't wait to review the video and photos once I thaw out. As I told Zack it was tough for me to be expressively grateful on the mountain cause I was trying to focus on all of the technique and safety tips/protocols but I finally got a chance to process the trip and reflect on it. The older I get the more I realize the experiences are what matter in life and this adventure of being guided/lead by Petra will always be remembered. I feel extremely fortunate to be supported by him and your organization. His expertise, character, focus on safety, chill demeanor, patience, and leadership make adventures like today totally magical. He is extremely efficient at all of the administrative safety work (ropes, anchors, etc.) allowing me to spend much more time climbing and less standing around waiting. Even when we were waiting he was talking about the knots he was tying, explaining the rock structures, or history of alpinism techniques with crampons. Thank you again!

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.

    I have been hitting gyms in the Burlington area for almost 40 years. I have seen most come and go…read more You can see the downward spiral, gym is dirty, in disrepair and customers are leaving. Soon the doors will be closing. The owner of Synergy is fanatical about keeping the gym clean, equipment in fully operational condition. When you walk in there is a stack of ready disinfectant spray bottles and clean towels. Everyone is expected to wipe down the equipment after use. The customers come in steady but never had I had a time where I couldn't get a workout in. The ages and fitness level varies greatly, so if your a beginner you should never feel intimidated. There are trainers and if you need help you can ask any of us at the gym and we will gladly help. Becca M wrote about a gym goer that was harassing her. She gave a bad review of the gym for that. Did she address it with the owner? You can't slam the gym for what a customer does without giving the owner a chance to address it. There's always going to be some who do not respect others. But my over a year experience at Synergy I have never seen this. Most likely a Female or Male that is in good shape and showing it, others are working out to try to be like them. Hey if you work hard and look good, show it off because it isn't gonna last forever and your in a place that understands what it takes to get there!! Top of the line equipment, clean where you could do floor exercises anywhere and not get up filty. A friendly atmosphere and the classic radio station you can hear but not so loud you can't carry on a conversion with another members. I strongly suggest you give it a try.

    I moved to Burlington area early this year and I have been looking for a gym. I like to exercise…read moreregularly and I was looking for a gym with a mix of free weights and machines. I found Synergy Fitness via web search so I thought I would give it a try despite some concerns. First thing I noticed right off the bat is how small the gym is. They had construction going on at one side of the gym and when I asked the girl at the front desk, she told me the area used to be part of the gym but their next door business took it from them. Which means the gym is getting even smaller. I was like ok, not a big deal at the moment. Last straw that made me decide to leave this place for good and write this review is a harassment from one of the gym goers. I was in the free weights area doing some squats and I noticed a nasty looking creature staring at me and pointing the backside of his phone toward me, most likely filming. I felt very uncomfortable with the amount of staring so I left the room and went to another room to continue my workout with dumbbells. A few minutes later, the same creature came to the room, took off his shirt and started to pose in front of the mirror and kept staring at me. I was completely freaked out at this point so I ended my workout and left the place. The nasty creature is a roided short male covered with long sleeve tattoos on both arms with skull pictures and women, side stomach big skull tattoo, and a big "USAF" tattoo on his chest. If you belong to the USAF or have been at one point in your life, you should live up to the title. What a creepy old man. I have never experienced that kind of behavior at any other gym places I used to go to. I felt gross after this experience. I don't recommend this "gym" to any young woman.

It's not really a traditional gym per se. 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.

The two people at the front desk told me that I could choose. (I shared with them that this is the first time I'd ever considered joining a gym.) They said the trainer I had chosen would connect with me by email in a week or so. I paid for three sessions and a membership and awaited the email that never came. I reached out three times and finally someone got back to me. I responded to the email and it took a couple of weeks and another call from me to learn that you cannot choose your trainer, or maybe just this one... That took two months or more. I learned that trainer is highly sought after. Guess I just didn't fit the client profile or something. Anyway, I sort of lost my interest in joining a gym, widening my community, and getting some good fitness advice and support. I just gave up. A week after I canceled my membership I was talking to a women I know who is in her early 30's, I'm in my 50's. She told me that she just joined the Y and was there working out when a man approached her. She's lovely. After some conversation he told her he was a trainer at the Y and offered his services to her. Guess who that trainer was... Seems like he actually did have time. Do I ask for my $ back??
