After crossing the one year mark of attending Everfit classes, it feels like a good time to write a…read morereview. This one is for people looking for a little more insight other than the commonly praised music, community, and coach (all which I agree with of course!). Some context, I was a regular to Crunch classes and was looking for a place with heavier lifting and more of a challenge. All of my workouts are morning ones, either the 5:30 or 6:30. The evening ones and teachers I'm less familiar with but everyone is great. That said, I do think these workouts are best for those with some exercise experience under their belts. We do various exercises which helps keep things interesting, but there's a lot of basics (deadlift, chest press, squats etc) that would be helpful to know prior to coming. You can still be a beginner though and even someone completely new to everything will be welcomed with open arms. Also, get the app and be sure to book classes through there. The workouts are fast paced, and the very first few might feel like you've walked into a tornado. The coaches start with a warmup and then will give you a rundown of all the workouts before starting. It's a real test of memory , but if you forget, others and the coaches will always help. We count on each other for that. Each day is a different workout with a unique purpose, but they generally are medium-high intensity and HIIT (high intensity interval training) or AMRAP (as many reps as possible) style. I'll go over them, but keep in mind these are the 5:30/6:30am classes. The late morning and pm classes are probably the same but I can't really speak for them. MONDAY - Upper and Lower - this is a time to get a full body strength session in, and is my favorite day. No cardio, just the opportunity to go a little heavier. The coach is currently Ciera and she's amazing. So fun, knowledgeable and kind. TUESDAY - SWEAT - cardio lovers, this is one for you. It's the most despised one for me and many others , but the highest calorie burner and a key day to work on agility and those fast twitch muscles. WEDNESDAY - Booty Blast - don't let the catchy name deceive you , this will have your whole lower body burning. It's a day when we go heavy on legs. Usually done in an AMRAP style, this one is a good one to find a group with similar experience and weights. THURSDAY - Cardio, Core Chest, and Triceps - this is a good one if you want a little taste of the cardio work, but also get a solid chest and tri workout. FRIDAY - Back, Biceps, Shoulders, Core - another welcome strength day that feels like a nice relief from the higher intensity work. You will still sweat, don't worry. SATURDAY - AMRAP - it's a full body strength and cardio session. Again, the AMRAP style is most optimal if you look for a group in a similar strength and fitness since you will all be using the same weights and moving through them quickly. Expect all classes to start with a 5 min warmup, and then end with everyone sharing responsibilities of spraying down the equipment and sometimes putting it away. Chris, the head coach is really great. He's very kind, easy to work with, and really knows his stuff. I am constantly impressed with how well balanced the workouts are, and how he manages to keep it interesting and fun! The gym is also very clean, and there's ample parking. I haven't done a dexa scan in a while, but in the first 6 months I lost 5.6% body fat and gained 2lbs of muscle. I'm only ~110 lbs for reference. Overall, I recommend Everfit if you're looking for a spot that is consistent yet interesting and fun. The community IS great, and even though there's not a lot of time to chat, Chris hosts social events and I know a lot of people that have found very solid friendships through the classes. Come try it out! There is a 7 days for $7 pass on their website, or some people use class pass to see if it's a good fit. Hope to see you there!

He is truly knowledgeable in proper form and the training I acquired from him have transcended across time and gyms I have gone to since then. I started to go to a new gym in the area I live in now and although the trainers there are great they do not compare to the proper training I received from Bob. Even when working out at other gyms not affiliated with bob I am always complimented on my form and technique. Anyways if you're looking for a gym that is really going to slow things down, to learn the basics and push you to be the strongest you can be I recommend ITG.

I'm on my 12th week with Randy and I have lost 35 lbs -- and it's the BEST thing I have ever done!…read more I initially was only a nutritional client, but after losing 4.8 lbs the first week, I wanted to ramp it up and joined as a training client. For most of my life, I was obese and I had resigned from ever dieting again. One mention of the word "diet" and it made me want to eat. Working out didn't last long either -- I wouldn't see results and then I would throw in the towel. Or I would lose weight, only to gain it back. After the first week, however, I felt like I was given something versus having something taken away. I was empowered. I felt like someone was actually listening to me and my body type. Randy understands it isn't a "one size fits all", but a more customized and individualized solution. He gave me parameters on how many calories and macronutrients to eat, based on my body composition... and do I dare say it has been easy??! I'm not hungry and actually eat less than I am allowed, and I don't feel deprived. Furthermore, in our supersized country, I feel I am finally learning moderation. Training wise, I'm able to do things I've never fathomed before. I have had trainers in the past, but I would grow bored and feel like I'm doing the same dreadful exercise with little results. Randy knows your strengths and weaknesses. He knows how to keep it exciting. He doesn't believe you should have to live in misery, but at same time he will find a way for you to reach your goal, enjoyably. That doesn't mean there isn't hard work -- it's all hard work. But somehow.... I'm nearly halfway towards my goal in a relatively short amount of time and am excited for what is yet to come!. And I could not have done it without Randy. THANK YOU Randy! :)
