However, while everything else was a fun workout, F45 has helped me to feel stronger than I ever have before.

I look forward to attending classes because of the community and because I know I'll feel stronger and more fit by the end of class.

I'm a reformer Pilates girl, so the Xformer was a bit of an adjustment for me. But all of the instructors are super awesome in helping me use the Xformer properly. The best part? The playlists! It's so much fun and really helps you get into the zone. The whole facility is super clean with lockers and a great bathroom with everything you need before or after class. There's tons of free parking too-- making it super easy and convenient. I loved my experience so much that I even bought a pair of biker shorts with the cut + flow logo and new grip socks as a little souvenir. I can't wait to come back to Cut + Flow!

Ive personally only taken 1 Xformer and a handful of yoga classes. I like that there's a variety of instructors with different styles. One thing to note is that it doesn't get hot enough in yoga to my liking- temperature also depends on each instructor. The locker area and bathroom/showers are also pristine! Cut and Flow sells grippy socks and lululemon clothes in the front. Don't forget to bring your own grippy socks to your first Xformer class, or you can purchase one at the studio. Their new client special is a great deal. One unlimited month for $99 which includes a free pair of grippy socks and free mat/towel rental. As of 9/11/24 there's also Xformer instructor in training classes which cost $15 per class! A drop in Xformer class typically cost $35.

Strength training is always part of my injury recovery process, but I've done a bad job of incorporating it to my workouts. Either I don't lift weights, or I do too much too soon and I'm sore in a way that impacts my running. I've been a member for about a month, and I am really enjoying my workouts at Progressive Performance. Signing up for this gym keeps me accountable to strength training and I'm able to keep running in addition to building strength. More than that, I really appreciate how the trainers took the time to know me, my goals, where I've struggled in the past and are there to guide my workouts. The trainers are super personable, the workouts are a good challenge, and every other member I've encountered has been friendly, welcoming, and kind. Oh, and the gym is clean and well-equipped. I'm looking forward to progressing my fitness and strength here!

Since their website address leads to a broken link I reached out on facebook messenger. I used one of Facebooks canned responses to ask 'Do you have any promotions?' and the response was 'Never. I find that kind of model disgusting'. Didn't know asking if they have a promos was such a negative question and I asked them to elaborate, but have not gotten a response. I'm still trying to figure out why my questions was so bad? (Attached screenshot)

Wow, my abs have not been this sore in a while! I had heard about Knotty Yoga through the aerial…read moregrapevine and decided to give it a chance when one of Meetup groups planned a meetup here. I took the intro class that was specially priced at $19. For an hour and a half, it was an incredible deal that I could not pass up...and it was more than worth it! There were about 18+ people in the class and we started with a warm up on the silks. Afterwards, we watched Mason and 2 other instructors demo on the rope, silks, and lyra respectively. We then learned a few things on the silks and did a quick stretch of the upper body. The verdict? The warmup is NOT a beginner warmup. There's lots of balancing of the upper body on the arms or forearms while the legs are held up by the silk apparatus. As the body is balancing, it is moving forwards, backwards, and twisting side to side. For me, the warmup was great and challenging, but I could see it being difficult for a beginner. Vivian was the instructor on the silks. I found her explanations and demonstrations thorough as I had previously learned one of the tricks at another studio but had not understood it fully until Vivian explained it another way. We were learning how to climb the silks and even though there was heavy emphasis on the use of the legs, I didn't hear any guidance about relieving any tightness in the forearms or the hands during the instruction. And in the cool down/stretching, there was no focus on these parts of the body at all. For the cool down, we paired up and all we did was twist the upper body while pulling on each others arms. Time was up but I wished that there would have been more time for more thorough stretching. Now I realize that there were a lot of people in the class and it was an intro class so I am probably calling out personal particulars, but I was really impressed with the overall vibe of the studio. I like their whole hybrid exercise modality idea. The instruction was awesome. The studio is a great space and I am especially looking forward to taking future classes in trapeze and lyra. Lastly, I find the pricing options a great value.

I will never forget the pain that lasted days after each 20 minutes workout. I had days where I can't even walk to my car. However the results were amazing. Results started to show up only after two months. It's a great system if you want to stay ok great shape and save time. The only issue I had was parking. It was so difficult ti find parking on the old location which became very stressful process but the actual program works and worth the money.

There was a good group of people, but there was still plenty of room and workstations. Since it is a circuit format, I appreciated how there are screens everywhere showing exactly what the circuit is and what the next workout will be. In addition to having the visuals, Caleb made sure to go around to help people understand where and what their next station would be. I liked how there are multiple workouts in a circuit and multiple circuits in the class. It makes the class go by quickly, since you switch up movements every 35 seconds! Burned 485 cals in the 50 min class, so it was definitely challenging but not too strenuous. Afterwards, they had a happy hour with some hard seltzers and sparkling water for people to chat, which was nice (they only do it on the 3rd Friday evening though) Seems like they have a good community going on, and I'll have to go back to try some of the other classes!

Despite years of complaints from multiple residents, this gym continues to blast loud music and drop heavy weights as early as 5-6 AM--including weekends--even though the quiet hours in our building extend until 8 AM. The sound is so loud it can be clearly heard in bedrooms and living spaces across multiple units above them. It's like waking up in a gym without choosing to be there. Residents have spoken with the front desk in person and emailed management numerous times. We're always told they'll "try to keep it down," but absolutely nothing changes. It feels like they simply don't care about the people affected by their noise. If a business is going to operate under a residential building, it needs to respect the people living above it. Sweat Circuit has shown, repeatedly, that they don't.
