I've taken about 3 of the HIIT Strength and Conditioning class. Modern Fitness is located at the…read moreend of a business plaza. It's pretty small space that is separated to 3 main areas: front stretching area and two rooms that are used for the gym sessions. There are little cubicles in the hallway to stow your stuff and a small recovery room and bathroom. Everything was very clean and towels are provided. The class is about roughly a 35-40 minute class. There are multiple stations where you do 2 sets of 45 seconds and as many reps as possible in that time. You rotate through quite a few stations. Overall, it is a pretty good workout. It's not the hardest HIIT class I've been to, but I like it for one big reason and the main reason for the 5 stars: the machines. I've been to many different style HIIT classes and this is the only one that has machines incorporated for isolations. From a bicep curl machine, hip thrust machine, leg curl machines, smith machine, and my favorite: the leg press. I don't have room for a leg press at my home gym so this was nice to use again. Lu, the owner/trainee, does a great job and not only remembering everyone's names, but capabilities. He also does a great job bouncing around help setting up machines and correcting form while the workout is going on. I have 2 minor negatives: 1: I'm not a fan of at the rack with the bar for bench press you start from the safeties. I get why they do it for more efficiency when switching between people, but much rather start from the J cups. 2: stretching is not built in so you have to get here early and stretch on your own. Overall, I've added this gym to my regular rotation of gyms I go to for HIIT classes each week, not really for the difficulty but for the incorporation of the machines into it. I still get a good workout, my HR just isn't as high as other gyms. The culture seems pretty good as regular members seem to know each other well and Lu knows each person well. Would recommend if you live close.

Writing an update because the gym has undergone some significant changes since I started. Ownership has changed, as have the lead coaches. Gym hasn't really missed a beat with these adjustments. While prior ownership/lead coaching was great, so is the current regime. When it comes to CrossFit, you're essentially getting individual training in a class format. The biggest variable in any given box is coaching; good boxes have skilled coaches who provide a lot of one-on-one support and a fun, safe training experience.

Beware when it comes to financial dealings with Jobi…read more Jobi is an excellent personal trainer, and I have no complaints about his training abilities. Unfortunately, my experience with him outside the gym was devastating. I trusted him enough to make investments through him, and I ultimately lost more than $25,000. I had worked incredibly hard to save that money, and it was intended to be part of the down payment on my future home. Losing it was not only a tremendous financial setback but also genuinely heartbreaking. What makes this experience particularly upsetting is that I placed my trust in someone I knew personally and never imagined I would find myself in this situation. I sincerely hope others take my experience into consideration and exercise extreme caution before entering into any financial arrangements with him. My advice is simple: keep your personal training relationship separate from your finances, and thoroughly verify any investment opportunity before handing over your money.
