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.

Simply put, the best yoga studio - by far - i've ever practiced in…read more Christine Hoar - and a few advanced students - offer ashtanga (led and mysore-style) classes every day of the week (1-2 classes/day). What makes this studio superior is, basically, the teachers and the students. Christine is a natural teacher; patient, incisive, caring. And she knows her anatomy as well as any doctor; she'll take a quick look at your posture, and then correctly guess that you took a 3-mile hike up a steep grade two days ago. The she'll suggest a subtle workaround for those tight calves. And the students: they're serious. Most of them are regulars, and the atmosphere once class begins is one of concentration (but not solemnity; there's regular bouts of laughter, incited mostly by christine). Throw in a lovely, light-drenched studio with views of the green mountains, a few friendly dogs, and $110 for a 10-class pass, and you've got the best yoga studio in the state.

Her vast…read moreknowledge about Leadership, and her incredible ability to identify aspects of your personality & current leadership style help her identify areas of focus to bring out the dynamic leader within you. The entire process is very eye-opening and rewarding. Using her gentle and clear communication style, Lucinda leads the training sessions while her horses quietly play a significant role in the Leadership work as well. It is such a unique and serene experience, learning about dynamics, human behavior, and improving your leadership skills, while standing in a beautiful field with beautiful horses interacting with you at different times during the training, conversations, and exercises. I cannot say enough positive things about working with Lucinda and her horses. I highly suggest it!
