Great gym! I don't work out often and I wouldn't call myself athletic (see my food reviews), but I…read morelove this place! I get a full body workout in 45 minutes in a group setting with the help of a trainer and tv monitors! It's clean, organized, judgement free and fun! So, I search Facebook events regularly for new *free* activities. One day, 2 summers ago, I came across an event for the F45 Grand Rapids grand opening. I'd never heard of this F45 thing before so I did some googling and found out that it's a workout concept originating from Australia and this would be the first franchise opening within a 3 hours' drive from us. My sisters and I decided to check it out and that Saturday morning, we got to the strip on 28th street where Michaels craft store used to be. The building was just being set up with mats, tv monitors and equipment - basic floor, walls and ceiling. We ran through several stations outdoors using free weights, ropes and yoga mats. Throughout the whole workout, trainers were encouraging us with, 'Nice work!', high fives and occasionally helping us modify lifts to target the correct muscle group. It was so much fun and by the end, I made up my mind to sign up for the 2 weeks of free, unlimited classes! Since that summer, I've been going to classes randomly with my friend Nicole who goes daily. They have a 20 class pass for $300. It's steep compared to gyms that offer memberships, but I have more of an incentive to actually attend these group workouts than I do if I were to hit the gym alone. Now that the place is established, they offer multiple classes from 530a-7p, 2 clean bathrooms, cubbies to stash your coats/keys, security cameras, and a welcoming environment. I've found that the Saturday morning classes fit my schedule the best and they offer 3 classes before 11am! It's such a great way to start my weekend and gives me time to recover before the work week begins again. I'm always sore after but it's a great feeling of accomplishment after I complete 2 rounds of 27 stations of heart pounding and sweat dripping workouts! Thanks Holly, Sam, Rusty and Ashley - you guys are awesome!

In addition to xfit workouts, they also do a strength and conditioning program and soft tissue work. What I really like about this box is that they had an introductory class for the movements and getting to know people. The coaches were knowledgable and very good at explaining the movements during this class. I thought this was a great way to minimize injury while working out. In summary, it's a great learning environment and great facility as well. It deserves the five star rating. The coaches are approachable for advice and definitely qualified. If you're looking to get a good CrossFit experience, check this place out.

A friend of mine has a membership at Mayweather and she invited me for a class recently. Your first…read moreclass is free, which is a great way to try something new. I'd only done kickboxing classes at home so I was interested in checking it out. I did have a bit of trouble booking the free class online, but I messaged their Instagram account and got help right away, which was awesome. My friend and I arrived 15 minutes early so I could get set up with gloves and a heart rate monitor as well as fill out paperwork, learn a bit more about the class, and meet the instructor, Hannah. She went over the basic punches and flow of the class, which was helpful because once we got going, things moved quickly! I did the M45 Undefeated class, which is "a fast paced, 45 minute workout including 6 rounds of boxing + 2 rounds of fitness." Each station had a different combination of punches on different types of bags. There are video screens that show each of the moves, which was helpful except when I couldn't see it a few times. Hannah walked around and gave encouragement and pointers on form, which was really helpful. I liked the fast pace and the mix of cardio, bodyweight exercises, and boxing. The music was also really loud and helped keep my energy up throughout the workout. It went by so quickly and we did a group cool down. The heart rate monitor is a cool feature and it shows on a leaderboard during the class - I didn't really pay attention to it until the end, because I was so focused on getting the moves down. They email you your stats after the class, that was cool to see. I could tell that the community at Mayweather is strong, and I appreciated the warm welcome as a newbie. I'd be interested in going back for more classes, I just wish it was closer to my house!
