It's true, Heather. The membership contract is bullshit. It's extremely difficult to get out of the…read morecontract and the "cancellation fee" for breaking the contract is also predatory. I've trained at aerial studios across the country and I've never encountered these predatory practices. If you are confident in your services, let people move on without trying to wring money out of them if they need to stop training for whatever reason. Also, beginner pole dancers are permitted to be an instructor at this studio. Because Cincinnati is a small city without many options, Dimension Fitness is still in business. In other cities, people would choose a professional studio with more experienced instructors and non predatory billing practices. If you live in Cincinnati, find online instructors. Trust me.

Move like never before at Swift Movement…read more I learned about Swift Movement back in May when they hosted a Yelp Works Out event and was impressed by Matt and Seth's ability to adjust he class based on the abilities of the class. I returned because of the exciting nature of parkour, but also the ability of these two owners to make everyone feel welcome trying something that can often seem exclusive and difficult. I'm glad I returned as Matt taught our group the essentials of parkour and free running by showing us how to fall properly in our first class. In the next class, we were taught the basics of preparing for obstacles before starting a run and visualizing our movements in advance. As I have taken more classes I have always been met with kindness and care towards becoming better at parkour. The gym itself is a fashioned as a big kid's jungle gym with bars and platforms all around. The best part is they can move many of the objects to change the setup from week to week. Overall, if you're looking for a new and interesting way to get in shape or learn new techniques to see your own movement in a different way, try Swift Movement!

We learned of Swift Movement through our local homeschool group on Facebook. Several families were…read moredescribing the experiences with Swift Movement and the enjoyment the children had joining parkour and acrobatics classes. We had to try this for ourselves. We attended the orientation and free class offered by Swift Movement and was blown away by the professionalism, the immersive environment and the friendly staff. My son began his first lesson and was soon climbing to new heights (LITERALLY) within one hour. The equipment is well designed and sturdy. The cost for membership is extremely affordable. However, as a busy family, the nicest surprise was the introduction to the zenplanner app that is used to schedule classes. We can see how many kids have signed up for particular classes, easily coordinate attending special events and even cancel a reservation (with 12 hours notice) very easily. As a member, you are able to attend unlimited amounts of classes and there are many scheduled throughout the week, that my child could attend two each day if our schedule allows it. He is begging to go each day! I highly recommend Swift Movement Studio as creative alternative to typical fitness classes for both children and adults.

I don't remember what my first workout was, but I do remember hearing it and thinking "How do I get…read moreout of here?" I thought I was a goner. But it turns out that when I (or anyone) can't do the workout of the day as "prescribed", the workout can be modified. The point is to push yourself and the coaches know all the great ways to "scale" a workout to meet the athlete where they're at (whether due to strength, flexibility, or injury-related limitations) and while still employing the intended stimulus of the workout (like by doing jumping pull-ups rather than regular pull-ups; or ring rows rather than jumping pull-ups; or nearly-standing ring rows rather than ring rows; etc.). In the nearly 3 years I've been going there, the focus on "constantly varied" exercises, along with plenty of focus on nutrition (not in the classes, per se, but through challenges and general conversations), has enabled me to drop about 40 pounds of weight and 6" to 8" of waist-line, and am still continuing the effort! Also in those three years: I conquered the climbing rope; I can almost string together multiple "double-unders" (jump rope going under your feet twice in a single jump); took about 2:30 - 3:00 off of my 1 mile run time; nearly achieved a 400 pound deadlift; and so much more! Plus, I've made friends and have also done "drop-ins" at other CrossFit gyms when traveling (in the U.S. and other countries) and find the global community to be nearly as welcoming as CrossFit Cincinnati has always been. Being able to get off the couch without bracing myself against pain in my knees, being able to squat down to pick up after my dog or to manage laundry using my front-loading washer and dryer, being able to kneel and get a good bow in my shoelace, being able to serve as "muscle" for my wife who needs bags of dirt and other heavy-and-sometimes-awkward items moved around so she can do the gardening she likes to do, being able to go up stairs without getting winded... All of this (and more) has come from CrossFit and the terrific (and caring) coaches at CrossFit Cincinnati!
