And she remembered my name :-) The studio is easy to locate and clean. The music is upbeat and I like that the lights are turned down but there's still enough light to see what you are doing/what's going on. I can't wait to return!!! P.S. this review is based on an intro class... Will review again as I progress.

My wife and I have been working out at Platoon Fitness together for over 2 years. After, about a…read morefive-month pause due to COVID, we have started back up. Due to staff turnover from COVID, we started with a new trainer, Brad Martin. He asked us what do you want to work on. I told him our ages, mid to later 50's and that we aren't competing for anything and asked, given that, what should we be working on. He said, strength, balance, flexibility, and stamina. Ok, so that's the plan. In just 90 days I can say I feel better and stronger than I've ever been. My posture is better and I'm excited to enter ski season feeling so strong. The proof is in my ability to do yard work and physical activity easily and without injuring myself, which was previously quite common. I had two shoulder problems over the last 2 years and they both are feeling great. Strong, flexible with a much-improved range of motion and no pain. I highly recommend and endorse Platoon Fitness and Brad Martin. Let it snow.

Love this Place! I was skeptical at first because I don't…read morelike the heat! But there's something special about this infrared sauna! I can't get enough! My skin is glowing But for years going to the gym has become a chore, now I can't wait to get here! What a great feeling that is! There is so many classes to choose from ! I'm doing yoga, I'm doing ISO work, I'm doing core work, we work with all the different bands, and for cardio they have cycling saunas and rowing and a seated elliptical. They also have in the back of the gym dumbbells and kettlebells and stability balls so you can really do everything that you need to do right here! Plus this place is open 24/7 and the classes are always running so there's no excuse! I feel the soreness I used to get from other classes has lessened because of the heat, don't get me wrong you can feel that you worked your muscles, but you're not in agony! At least that's been my experience so far!

I like that this gym is 24-7 if you subscribe to their monthly membership (or pay in full in…read moreadvance.). The heat doesn't personally bother me and you can stop any time you want. I highly recommend buying all the equipment you could possibly need so that you don't have to worry about renting it or buying it later on. There are videos to follow when you exercise in the mini-hot studio, but you can pace yourself. The staff are really nice when they are available. I wish there were more community events to try to get local gym members to interact with each other more but otherwise this is a nice option to have for a gym. Need to make more time for it.

I thought my home being a grown man and a security guard in the business he will be professional but he proved otherwise. That's not how a business should be run. My son is a pay customer and the security guards and employee he should have acted better. That's why they have my phone number as an emergency in case situations like this but instead he took it into his own hands to provoke my son. That is unprofessional and I'm going to make sure people know about it.

I fell in love with kickboxing a few years ago while living in the suburbs. I had searched for a…read morenew place to try in Philly and had been disappointed, to say the least, with my options. A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon CoreFitness online and I saw that it was close to work... figured I'd give it a shot. I emailed to ask a few questions and my email was responded to within a few hours. Gina, one of the owners, was incredibly helpful and invited me to come and try a class at no charge. You could easily miss the place if you're not looking closely for it. It's in an old building that looks a bit shady from the outside. Inside, it's pretty simple, consisting of a large floor area and some pieces of equipment and mats. The work-out area is kept really clean and there are clean towels for all customers, free of charge. The best aspect of this place, and the reason I give it 5 stars, are the people who own/work there. Every time I go, I am greeted with a smile and I don't feel as though I'm just another customer. The people who attend the classes are really nice and not snooty-gym-goers. There is no initiation fee or contract to sign... and you can tell that they aren't there to swindle you out of money, like many, many gyms I've been to in the past. As for classes, I have been to both the Cardio Kickboxing (taught by Gina or Lawrence) and the Urban Boot Camp. Gina and Lawrence make their classes so much fun. High energy (even when one of them is 9 months pregnant... don't even get me started on how amazing THAT is) and fun routines. Most importantly, I feel like I'm getting a great workout, and having fun while doing so.

Can't stop after 9 months...can I give a 5+ stars? See my crossfit newbie review below, here is my…read moreupdate now that I have been here for a while now. [CF "VET" maybe not quite a vet...]...STILL LOVE IT HERE! I hope that my enthusiasm is coming across. I have talked to many people about their box and it's scary out there! All of our coaches, George, Dave, Henry, Gina, Rich... all of them are really amazing! They push you to do your best but always have your best in mind. If you have an injury there are modifications and you will push your limits, but safely. The coaches are very focused on form and ensuring that you are not sacrificing form for weight. If you want to try something new they will take time out to help and coach you through it so you can practice. They also celebrate success with you...I stopped and screamed mid-wod when I got my first double under and every clapped....it was magical. The people here....I mean it's the community that makes the box in my opinion and the community here is better than I ever expected. Everyone is supportive and will help you along the way and answer any questions. We always have fun, work hard - play hard. If you are the last one (as I usually am especially with burpees) everyone comes over and cheers you on and will even start doing additional burpees with you to help you finish (shout out to @EricS)...if you have every done a burpee you know what it means to do additional burpees just to help your fellow CF'er through. I can't even consider ever leaving this box and I hope if you are new or experienced that you come down and check it out, trust me, you will get hooked too! _________________________________________________________________ [CF NEWBIE REVIEW}...yep I am in love with this place! I have been going here for almost 2 weeks now and I have had nothing short of the BEST "gym" experience ever! If you have never tried Crossfit before (like me) or you are looking for a more local place to go....you will love Crossfit2st! So we have all been there...gotten that Living Social deal and then had the worst experience ever - BUT NOT HERE! From the moment of purchasing the voucher, everyone has been so patient and accommodating to scheduling. Working with Ana to schedule me and my 3 other friends into the On Ramp course was a great experience...attending the On Ramp course was a great learning experience...and coming to do the WOD's has been an AWESOME experience. The On Ramp course was about 2 hours and we learned about all of the movements, some of the terminology, and learned and practiced the form for the movements. We had plenty of time to ask questions and didn't get rushed in any way. Coming to the first class is always filled with anxiety...I didn't know any of the moves, I didn't want to hold anyone back (obviously I didn't know anything about crossfit before I started) and was pretty "soft" after the holidays - oh you know what I mean. The first class was amazing! The coaches in the evening sessions - George and Clay - are freaking awesome! They knew we were new and paid special attention to our form and helping up through any moves and working the level 1 modifications so we didn't kill ourselves. They make everything look so easy (they are professionals) and it's great to have such great roll models to aspire to. The following days have been just as awesome...the workouts change up every day and anything that you need modified they help you through it. I am so impressed with their knowledge and patience with all of the new people (uhhmmm...me!) and I will absolutely be here as much as humanly possible! Whoop Whoop!

Most…read moremornings I am there getting my workout in with the super welcoming, crazy awake for 6am morning crew. It is a fun crew, who work hard and celebrate pr's all before breakfast. It is also often a well oiled machine as most of us need to get in and get out so we can be on time for work. At night I am there coaching. As a newer box we have a lot of new faces coming in all of the time and I love that they seem to stick around. We must be doing something right! I love teaching a new to CrossFit athlete proper form, you can just see it on their face when it clicks. Usually the first thing that say is "wow, that felt so much easier". Then from there it is the pr's as they finally get into the colored weight plates, enter into the 100lb club, lifting their own body weight, etc. Every pr is time for a celebration in my book! We have a lot of fun at 2 Street and we get a lot of hard work done at the same time. I think it is that balance that keeps the athletes coming back and looking forward to what we have planned for them each class, even the burpees!

She just goes and goes, but what's best about Phyllis is that she is a real person--she's a mom, she cooks for her family every day, she has injuries just like the rest of us. She keeps it realistic but kicks your butt at the same time. Two things about her classes and sessions that keep me coming back are that she really focuses on form and that she is open to making accommodations for injuries with no judgment. Oh, and I can barely walk the next day!! If I'm going to get my butt kicked, I want it to be KICKED! And she does that, always with tons of energy and a smile. Honestly, can't say enough good things. She has helped me focus on staying fit and HEALTHY--a real lifestyle change. Before I started working out with her I was barely exercising and eating like crap. Now I'm exercising on my own almost every single day just because I want to. Phyllis rocks!!

It took me many months to get here but I honestly amaze myself when I do a set of pushups, or jump rope for 2 minutes without getting winded. My appearance, self confidence and overall health have improved with Phyllis' help. I have never felt this physically strong. Give Phyllis a try and I guarantee you won't regret it!!!!
