If you've never been to an OTF class then let me highly recommend trying your first class (free!)…read moreat OTF Knapp's (North GR). The staff is always so friendly and the membership base is very welcoming. All of the coaches are knowledgeable and enthusiastic which is a huge plus at 7:00 a.m. The best part of OTF is that you can get as much out of it as you want. Don't be intimidated, the workouts can be hard but you have the option to pace however you need to. Plus you might get some extra motivation from your neighbor and do something you didn't think you could.

Joined from an invitation from my friend who was going religiously for at least a year. Started in…read moreMarch 2022 and thought I would quit a couple times in late spring and late summer (due to time capacity), but glad I'm still going. The instructors are nice and energetic. like the variety of workouts and the variety of exercises in the 30 min work out, like that it's only 30 (intense 30 but not longer), there's a nook for kids to sit if you have to bring kids, and they really get you in and out so you can go about your day or evening. After nearly 10 months, I find myself aiming to go at least 3 times a week, but if you are really into it you can multiple times a day or do a back to back workout (if you're crazy - lol). You see different ages and abilities, so you don't feel as intimidated as you would in other places with the same type of regimen. Worth trying if you want to shock your body and starting getting stronger.

This gym is perfect for what I need/look for: 1. 30 minute workouts are intense and great for my schedule. I love HIIT. 2. Coaches are friendly and remembered my name after 1 handshake! 3. It's clean and workout gear is in great condition. I'd recommend this gym to any regular layman or woman looking to get fit, maybe lose some weight, and enjoy doing it. Don't forget to wear/bring clean shoes. Also, a water bottle and towel (not needed, but I didn't see any offered). Also, they recommend you use the Coach Catalyst app, but I didn't have any room on my phone to download it, so I used it on Safari which worked out just fine.

All the coaches are friendly and welcoming and have so much knowledge on fitness at any level. 8th Day Gym is not "just a gym", it's a community of people who care about each other. I have made so many lifelong friends and I couldn't imagine belonging to any other gym.

I love that the gym is full of everyday normal people just trying to get into shape and have fun - no intimidating muscle heads here! Coaches are all great at helping you find the best workout that fits your fitness level - and challenging you to go for it when they know you can do it! Community at CFGR is the best - my kids love joining me to hang out at the gym on the weekends - very family friendly and the people at the gym are just good people! No quiet classes here - too many people shouting encouragement during class! Every chance I get I bring friends to the gym - and they always love it!

You do need gloves for class but my friend brought some for me, otherwise you will need to buy them from the studio. I was told that it's best practice to keep a punching bag inbetween you and the next person if possible. The instructor came over to introduce herself and came to asses my kickboxing knowledge. I had done some sessions in the past, so I was able to keep up easily with the constantly changing combos. It may be daunting for newcomers but just punching and kicking the bags is a phenomenal workout whether or not you get it right. The instructor was really motivating and supportive. I really enjoyed my experience and would love to go back soon!
