I'm just finishing up my intro package here and absolutely love this studio. The workouts are women…read moreonly (super fun vibes) and focused on building strength without injury. Cannot overstate how much I enjoy the class atmosphere! Each workout I've done so far has been challenging but do-able and the trainers always ask about injuries and offer modifications. The small group format means lots of attention, if you're doing an exercise incorrectly or struggling with a weight the trainer corrects you right away or offers a different version. As someone who is easily intimidated by free weights, these classes are a great way to get more comfortable with them. My one critique would be that package pricing is high compared with other workout studios in the area (city fitness thrive, orange theory, amrita etc) . It would be nice if they offered a monthly package that was priced around $80 without annoying subscription cancelation rules. Still if you view the class as more of a group personal training session it has great value.

I began by looking for a gym that was small and local to my area. I also tried to find some place…read morethat was women centered. I like Train And Nourish because it is small and very personable. The trainers there are really nice and give you a lot of great technique and information about how to get a great workout. The rates are reasonable and the other clients in the group classes all seem to enjoy the classes as well. I like the fact that you can sign up for the classes that you want to attend online. This way you know who is teaching the class and what the theme of the class is. There is plenty of parking in the area and they also offer flexible hours for the group classes that fit my schedule. So far so good.

There is a phone number you can call or text for questions. When I called nobody answered and I left a message. After waiting for about 30 minutes I was able to follow in behind someone and access the gym. The gym is pretty minimalistic but has all the basic equipment. Definitely a weightlifting gym. Once I started working out someone finally texted me back. I think they definitely need a different process especially for classpass members. The instructions aren't great and they definitely need to invest in a person that can be available 24/7 for troubleshooting purposes.

Started here 3 years ago, about a year and a half after having hamstring reattachment surgery. When…read moreI started, I was out of shape and felt like I couldn't do anything; lots of movements caused pain due to my surgery. The coaches at warhorse were super patient with me, adapted the workouts to what I could handle. Now I'm hitting all time PRs not just in bench press but also in deadlift and squat! Never thought I would be able to deadlift ever again, never mind hitting all time PRs on a regular basis! It's a very unique set up for a gym. Usually you have to choose between very expensive personal training or generic group classes if you don't want to go solo at the gym. Warhorse is the perfect balance, you get all the support you need when just starting out and when you get more comfortable you can be as independent as you want. The program always gives options to choose from to fit your goals or level. Trainer is always available to answer questions, help pick exercises from the program; help with form or give you a spot for a new PR. And all the trainers here are awesome!

Class sizes are a decent size (I had no larger than 8 people in a group class) and in the 45-minute window they do a challenging yet surmountable WOD style program. I've been doing circuit-based fitness for a couple of years and it's always great to see trainers come up with new movesets that keep the workout interesting. I also got to work with Ari and he is as personable as the other reviewers say he is - if you have the chance, attend one of his classes and you can see for yourself his dedication to his clients new and old.

I met the general manager and the owner Micah, both were super nice and passionate about what they do.

The credits last like 6 months (compared to some that only last a month) and I usually don't have trouble finding time in the week that works.
