I've been with Silencer Athletics for over three years. I started out with personal training sessions with Paul and later transitioned to his group fitness classes. Having held multiple gym memberships through the years that I rarely used, I knew joining another regular gym (like LA Fitness) wouldn't work. With past gym memberships, I would typically waste time when I went to the gym, since I didn't really know what to do. Then eventually, I'd stop going and simply waste money as I was locked into a contract. This is the longest I have ever stayed with a gym. It works for me since there are usually structured classes at 6am and 5pm. There are also other time options depending on how much you pay. The group classes typically include an extensive warm up then resistance and/or weight lifting. Boxing and kettle bell classes are also available, as well as yoga. The monthly fee is $215, which is a bit pricey, but it is a small Black-owned business that has a very personal feel. Paul has an A+ character and the other members of the gym have become like extended family members. It is a good (but difficult!) workout and I've seen significant changes in my body composition. If the monthly fee fits in your budget and you live in relatively close proximity to the gym, it's definitely worth checking out. read more
