Evana, the Fit Body Boot Camp instructor, was beyond rude and unprofessional. In my experience, she spoke about clients in a disrespectful, dismissive way that made the environment feel uncomfortable and unwelcoming. The tone and attitude were shocking for someone who works in a role that's supposed to motivate, support, and encourage people. Instead of feeling inspired or supported, I felt judged and talked down about--exactly the opposite of what a gym should feel like. This is not someone who made me feel safe or comfortable enough to ever want to return. In my opinion, someone who openly talks about clients this way should not be working at this type of business at all. A fitness space should be inclusive and respectful, and this experience was neither. I will not be coming back, and I would seriously caution others who value respect and professionalism to not staff a workplace with staffing like this.

Maria and all of the instructors care about making their classes fun, challenging, and safe. "Can't" is a forbidden word here. All different ages and fitness levels attend this studio and the Hard Core family is truly the most amazing group of people. Classes are small and you receive great instruction and encouragement. I was first drawn into the studio by the fun atmosphere of the Zumba classes. After my first Burn session (6-week bootcamp style), I was hooked. I've enjoyed the variety of HIIT, Zumba, Tabata, and Kettlebell classes, and the affordability of different membership options. After losing about 30 pounds, I decided to participate in a 90 day transformation last year and was able to lose 40 pounds with healthy changes to my diet and exercise.

Cheryl was able to get a guest pass (highly recommend dropping in to experience the gym) and signed up instantly. Here's why: 1. Your muscles will be sore and burn. If you have plateaued with your HIIT workouts, this place will make you feel like it's day 1 again. Lactic acid build up is nice! 2. The price has built in childcare! Average bb sitter is $20-$40/hr. If you and/or spouse wanted to go to the gym, no headaches of who will watch these little miracles. Shout outs to Ava/Eva, Chloe, and the team. They create a chill environment for kids (Bluey/Paw Patrol approved). 3. Trainers that care for your growth. From beginner to well done seasoned steak gym person, each trainer can help you progress over time. Their unique personalities and experience bring a fun, professional, and community building environment. They're legit. Guys/husbands, it may be strange to be in a room full of women. Haha. I'm pretty sure the gym's mission statement is to empower women (which is awesome). Don't let this deter you from getting gains, sweating, pushing your body, having fun, and hitting whatever goals you want! Keep up the great work! :) Albert

I was honestly a little worried that I'd have to sacrifice some of my strength training, but that hasn't been the case at all. They have dumbbells going all the way up to 100 lbs , so I can still get a great lifting workout while getting WAY more cardio than I was doing on my own. ‍ One of my favorite things is being able to come in for the 5 AM classes during the week. It lets me get a great workout in and still get home in time to get ready for work and get my child ready for school. It's become such a great part of my routine. The people really make this place special too! It's always nice walking in and being greeted by the staff, especially Lauren, who is always super friendly and welcoming. And the coaches are awesome! Classes with Laura, Amber, and the rest of the team are always a ton of fun. They bring so much energy, keep you motivated, and somehow know exactly when you need that little extra push! It's been the perfect mix of lifting, cardio, convenience, and just having fun working out. I'm really glad I joined and definitely recommend giving Orangetheory a try!

What was there to lose (except for maybe that stubborn 20 lbs I can't seem to shake)?!! It's always hard to take the first step when trying to make a change in your diet and/or fitness. On the first day of class, I saw there were a lot of regulars and they all seemed pretty fit and solid. Of course I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel intimidated, considering I stopped going to the gym way before COVID even happened and my running and cardio barre classes were a distant memory, along with fast metabolisms and crazy stamina! But from the moment I met trainers, Alex and Vivian, I felt immediately at ease and comfortable. They are both so nice and personable and know how to tailor work outs to meet each individual's strengths and needs. They also know how to motivate and push you but not single you out and make you feel like s**t. A huge plus and sign of a good trainer. Anyway, my 28 days is almost up but I plan on signing up for a package that will be suitable to my needs and continue on. There are many options to choose from and you don't have to commit to a contract if you don't want to. The classes are easy to sign up for and cancel if need be.

In comparison we went to a similar Bootcamp style gym in Indianapolis, as we were checking in at the front desk we were targeted as "fresh meat" for their killer workouts.

We started with a consultation, during which he answered all of my questions thoroughly. I walked out of the consultation with absolute confidence that I was going to be working with an awesome trainer. The first workout was an assessment workout during which I later found out he watches for form, endurance, but also your resilience. He wants to see how far you're willing to push yourself. I've only been working with Aaron for 5 months, but I've made more progress and have lifted heavier in these past months, than I have over 3 years when I was training by myself. The improvements to me have been more than physical. They've been psychological, emotional, even spiritual.

It was a nice and cool morning with a slight breeze, which was perfect to kick off our hike. We opted to take the easy trail, Borrego Canyon Trail. There is a lot of soft sand through out parts of the trail, similar to a beach like sensation for your walking pleasure. It also felt like a magical forest during some areas with trickling streams. We also experienced some parts full of various sized rocks. This is NOT a child- friendly trail for little ones. As we approached parts that were more desert like, we got closer to the red rocks. There was much anticipation to the end and the trail concludes with what feels like a small dead end as you gaze into the view of the towering red rocks. Going downhill was much quicker and fun. It was an easy trail with some sections that forced me to go slower as I didn't want to slip on some small rocks. There was so much positivity coming from other hikers and bicyclists. So many good mornings shared, it was contagious. Bicyclists are one-way so they are only coming from behind you and so many were thankful for us moving out of their way.

There are also some fun points of interest along the way, including a hedgerow maze, various bear statues, and a park adjacent to the Norman P. Murray Community & Senior Center. It's great for families with small kids or strollers to push, as well as solo joggers, dog walkers, or even bikers.

Within just…read morethree months, I lost approximately 17 pounds of body fat while also building muscle, which significantly improved my overall body shape. This transformation did not happen by chance--it required strong commitment and consistency. I wake up at 5:00 AM every day, drive about 25 minutes, and start my workout at 6:00 AM for a full hour. The structured program, supportive environment, and disciplined routine have been essential in keeping me on track. One of the standout features of this place is their use of advanced tools and professional equipment to monitor progress. They track body composition, fat loss, and muscle gain with great precision, making the entire process clear, measurable, and highly motivating. In addition, the team provided me with a professionally designed and well-structured diet plan tailored specifically to my goals. The nutrition program is practical, healthy, and extremely effective in delivering real, lasting results. One of the most noticeable signs of my progress was having to replace many of my clothes because they became too loose--clear evidence of the transformation I've achieved. Mehdi and his wife run this business with exceptional professionalism. It truly feels like a well-managed family business, which I deeply respect and always prefer to support. Occasionally, their son joins the workouts, adding a warm, personal touch and positive energy to the environment. If you're looking to lose weight naturally and in a healthy way--without shortcuts or injections--this is the right place. With your commitment, combined with their structured program and strong team support, achieving your goals is absolutely possible. Highly recommended. I had a great and really different experience with this fitness suite. In just three months, I was able to lose about 17 pounds of body fat and build muscle at the same time. As a result, my body shape changed dramatically and improved. This success was completely dependent on commitment and discipline. I wake up at 5 am every day, drive about 25 minutes, and start training for an hour at 6 am. The regular schedule, supportive environment, and positive energy of this complex played a very important role in keeping me motivated and continuing on the path. One of the main strengths of this complex is the use of advanced tools and equipment to accurately check and analyze the state of the body. They professionally track your fat, muscle, and progress, which makes the path completely transparent and measurable. In addition, the team of this complex designed a very professional and targeted nutrition plan for me that was perfectly tailored to my goals. It was healthy, feasible, and very effective, and played a significant role in achieving results. One of the interesting results of this path was that I had to change a lot of my clothes because they no longer fit me--which is a real and tangible change. Mehdi and his wife manage this complex with a very high level of professionalism. This is a true family business, run with commitment, precision, and responsibility. Sometimes their son even comes to the training sessions, which creates an even more intimate atmosphere and positive energy. If you are looking to lose weight naturally, healthily, and without using shortcuts like injections, this is one of the best choices. Of course, personal commitment is very important, but with a careful plan, a professional team, and the support of this complex, achieving results is completely possible. I highly recommend it.

As a 47 yr old man, I've had many trainers over the past 20 years, but Ali has been my favorite since he is very mild mannered...he is not over the top...he is down-to-earth and focused on results. He comes up with strategies if he notices anything that needs to be fixed, i.e. if muscle gain is slowing down he points out what could be improved nutrition-wise (more protein, adding creatine). Or if muscle growth seems asymmetrical he notices and makes adjustments accordingly. Again, I can't emphasize enough how "normal" he is, as opposed to many of the OC trainers who are covered in tattoos, clubbing at night, and telling you about their personal problems. Ali is very wholesome and successful, so there is no drama with him. His boutique gym has everything you need, especially if you understand how compound movements really increase growth, so plenty of free weights, racks, cages, bands, kettles, etc, not to mention 24 hr access and a great sound system.

I've tried a lot of different workout styles over the years (F45, Orangetheory, pilates, spin, etc.), and while they were all great in their own ways, Forge's purposeful approach to strength and mobility is what really sets it apart. The supportive, low ego atmosphere makes it feel like a true community too. Highly recommend you check them out to see if you like their style and programming!

This will be my last post, I hate arguing with children much older than me…read more Clearly this man is 1) An incredible liar. Door was propped open. 2) Ungodly unprofessional person. No idea who gave this man the money to start a business but good luck with that investment. He says look at my reviews i give a lot of 1 stars. Well guess what buddy you joined the club! Read the reviews they are all honest and accurate. Not only that, but read the 3 and 5 stars as well. Which out number the 1 stars. The fact that this is your reply reaffirms my previous statements yet again. Doubling down on why no one should join this club. I find it offensive that you are in one of my favorite shopping centers in RSM. I will be joining a big chain and I hope everyone who reads this review knows how vile of a person this owner is. Again don't just take my word for it, this business has more 1 star reviews with similar sentiments. I assume he will reply to this in an attempt to slander and mislead people. Those who are apart of his gym, i hope it works out for you, for everyone else, there's a 24 hr fitness within a block of this place.

My husband and I have both been working out with Dan for a few years now and love it. We workout…read moretogether but each have our own set of exercises that are tailored to our needs. We work hard but the hour is fun and goes by fast. Every once in a while there is another trainer with their own client in the gym. Those trainers are great too and the clients seem happy. I would highly recommend giving OC Fitness Coach a call to set up a consultation!

Very poor management, showers and locker room very dirty. No shampoo or body wash in the Shower…read moreroom dispensers. Because the shoulders are not sealed the water is running in shower room area and the floor is very slippery and wet all the time. Associates at front desk very rude and not friendly at all. Customer service from 1 to 100 is less than one... I wish I could give him less than one star. The manager of this location is a young non-educated and rude individual.

Shredz Gym is hands down the best gym I've ever been to. It's located in a quiet, perfect spot in…read moreLadera Ranch, which already makes it feel more inviting and less chaotic than other gyms. The gym itself is clean, spacious, and laid out perfectly -- nothing feels cramped or poorly placed. Everyone who goes here is actually there to work out. People are kind, respectful, and courteous, and you don't deal with the space-hogging or awkward gym behavior you see elsewhere. As a mom, the 24-hour access is everything. On days when you can't commit to a specific time due to all the different schedules kids have but still need to get your workout in, it's a total game changer. The equipment is truly top-tier -- honestly the best I've seen, and I've been to a lot of gyms over the years. You can tell real thought went into what they offer. On top of all of that, Ashley, the manager, is incredible. She is so kind, caring, and courteous, and truly exceeds expectations as a manager. She's also extremely responsive and makes you feel genuinely supported, which adds so much to the overall experience. I'm genuinely obsessed with this place. It is 100% worth the price, and I continue to be impressed every time I walk in.

My daughter signed up for the 6 week challenge and I decided to do it with her. I was a little…read moreapprehensive because I have back problems (sciatica) arthritis in my shoulder and a knee problem. (Falling apart at 57). All of the coaches were great and recommended work arounds for my pain issues. I list 21.6 lbs in the 6 weeks and other than my sciatica (which has gotten better) I feel great. The arthritis in my shoulder prevented me from doing a single push up and now I can do them until my muscles give out. I am not a morning workout person but this changed that. I was in at 5:30 every morning and felt great the rest of the day. I recommend CrossFit Forest for anyone at any fitness level. The support and motivation from the coaches and the the other teammates is incredible, everyone pushes everyone. My transformation in 6 weeks is unbelievable. Al Parent RSM, CA

Six years ago, I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. And fat. The big warehouse gyms were…read moresimply not working for me. But then, a co-worker hooked me up with a Crossfit coupon. Just one month; so why not? My first workout did not go well; I fainted during warm-up. It would have been my last workout too except for the damn coupon; it was paid for. So I stuck it out, twelve workouts, four weeks, then planned to abandon ship. Until a twenty-something co-worker said she noticed a difference in me. I signed right up. On January 3, I completed my 700th workout. I am 15 lbs lighter; heart rate is 58, blood pressure 110/70, cholesterol under 180. More importantly, my outlook on life is off the charts. The workouts are frankly challenging; I enter the gym apprehensive. But I leave feeling like a badass. I spit, I snort, I use bad words and want to pick fights in biker bars. Crossfit can do that for you too. And should you think it's too hard, or you're too old and out of shape, there's this. I am a Vietnam veteran with a 30% disability rating and braces on arthritic knees. In April I turn seventy. But Crossfit Forest's terrific coaches are highly trained and have adapted the workouts to accommodate my special needs. They'll do the same for you. The Rancho gym is next to the Toyota dealership. Recommended. Well, except maybe for the biker bar thing.
