(I was in my happy hour era don't judge lol) I swore the idea off saying I don't have what it takes and off we went. Here I am... a decade later and eating my words, anxiously waiting for each physically challenging session. Every day is unexpected and almost entirely different from the last. Never boring and hitting every part of my body. My legs are in poor health and he's extremely attentive to it. He pushes me to do better, work harder, stay focused. He truly cares about the direction of your fitness and all around health and never once makes you feel like you're just an in and out client. He makes me want to do better and be better. Training has turned my life around. Ahmed is a distinguished trainer and humble gentleman. If you're ready to get in the best shape of your life and build your strength both mentally and physically, Go to Pushlab see Ahmed, and thank me later.

One exercise for a few minutes before moving on to a completely different exercise. The coaches move around abd give pointers. Another plus are there are screens on the wall showing the exercises so if you forget what to do, lose concentration or need a reminder without wanting to ask a trainer it's right there. They don't have many bathrooms so the line gets long after class but that provide towels and massage guns are available. We wipe down what we used after class so it's clean. There is also a water station.

Love the music, very motivating mix. Sometimes I feel like fitness classes don't hit the music vibe just right, but they do really well at F45. It feels a little bit like a blend of "the future" ― since there are screens displaying the right form, etc., but you also get the benefits of in-person interaction with the coaches and the other people in class. Super appreciate that they provide towels and massage guns. I like that there's a simple warmup and cooldown stretch incorporated. Feels very no-bullshit, get-it-done, and positive vibes. Only one single-person bathroom/shower seems a little impractical, but other than that I really had a great experience.

Aside from all the physical progress, I've gone from barely knowing a thing about fitness to developing a good sense of precisely which parts of my body should be activated for each exercise, even when I'm working out on my own.

He's stuck around for me even through my lowest moments over the last 2 years to say the least.

For some background - I am someone who has done strength training for 5 years and is familiar with…read moregym equipment and how to perform different exercises safely and with good form. I decided to try EVF for the first time with their EVF class, which was open to everyone. The class was disorganized and overcrowded. The instructor speed-talked when showing us how to do an exercise with good form, and in a room of 30+ people, not everyone could even hear her because the music was too loud. And as people were working out, there were way too many people for her to actually monitor to make sure they are doing everything safely. The complete lack of focus on injury prevention and safety is a deal breaker for me. Instead, their focus is on making you sweat hard with weights to make you think you had a good workout - when in reality, you may not be activating the right muscles and are on your way to worsening your muscle imbalances and injuring yourself. Oh, and here are some extra fun details: -No one is EVER at the front desk. I had to pass by this gym 3 times on 3 different days because I wanted to talk to a human being to ask some questions before I signed up for my first class. They just have a desk there and equipment but no signs of life. Ever. -No one is doing audio checks before a class, so good luck hearing what your instructor is saying -The back office is the only area that seems to be staffed. Their focus is just sales, not about anything else. -The instructors are not knowledgeable in muscle anatomy and will have you doing reps based on time rather than on evenly working both sides of your body - another recipe for injury! This entire gym screams of red flags. Stay away.

I started with CrossFit Sunnyside just 2 weeks ago & from the friendly welcome on my initial visit for info from Mike the owner to my first few workouts I'm happy I did. Mike & Leo have guided me thus far & there is a genuinely friendly & professional atmosphere in the gym. Everyone is pulling for your success & adjustments can be made to suit your fitness level. I love the idea of the 1:1 for 5 sessions upfront, which helps show what to expect during the classes & assesses what my strengths & weaknesses are & therefore knowing those things I can work to better achieve my goals. Their prices are very reasonable for what's on offer & there are several programs to choose from. I have one more 1:1 session on Monday & looking forward to getting in the team sessions soon.

So it really is great at providing a full body workout! Their instructors are energetic and fun. Note- this is NOT Pilates (megareformer is not pilates).

Amenities are good- lots of lockers, bathroom & showers (not all studios i go to have showers). Conveniently located in midtown, not far from the 6 train. This is available on ClassPass! Overall, I will be back.

Other than that, they're pretty similar in that their total body sculpt workouts are pretty good, though they do focus more on abs, glutes, legs by nature of Pilates. The instructor kept it interesting and gave us a variety of moves using most of the components of the megareformer machine. It was a tough workout but in a good way--I thought I'd be pretty fit since I play volleyball 2-3 times/week every week but Pilates has humbled me once again. Form50 has a lot of offers -- 2 pack or 2 week unlimited membership for new clients, various class packs and being listed on ClassPass. Towels are only free for members; otherwise, it's $3 per towel. The facility is very clean and aesthetic too. I also like how there are more than enough lockers, compared to some fitness studios where I feel like I have to scramble for locker space.
