So I was traveling in January and I heard a lot about this place online…read more A friend of mine invited me to join him and I met up with Joe, one of the trainers there. This place is AMAZING! The environment is great for newbies, and for folks like me that have not worked out in a while. Let's just say, the best tip I got going into it was this: "Pace yourself." So the workout was a circuit, and it was a full body workout. 3 sets, with 3-4 workout per set done as a circuit. Some new folks kill themselves by using too much weight on the first set and cannot keep up at the end. By the 2nd set I was starting to slow down: I was not conditioned at all but at least I paced myself. But Joe was extremely encouraging and helped with fixing my form for the different workouts I wasn't used to. The facility is tucked in the business complex so you have to drive deep into it. The place is clean, the music is awesome, the bathroom is clean, there's towels (for sweat, not for showering), and the equipment all work and in very good condition and are clean! I highly recommend this place because of the trainers who are awesome, and because the environment is very supportive. Viz. one woman was there in her 40s and she was trying her best, some of the girls cheered her on, and Joe was encouraging her and adjusting her workouts based on her fitness level. Definitely check them out since this place gives results! I don't know if they have drop-in rates to do the classes whilst traveling but just ask them! Note: They also do your measurements to see your progress!

If you're looking for a health hazard disguised as a gym, look no further than Planet Fitness in…read moreHawthorne. I showed up right at 6 AM when they opened, only to walk into locker rooms that were clearly not cleaned overnight. The smell alone should've been the warning sign. Lockers were dirty, toilets had visible skid marks and urine on the seats, sinks were clogged, and there wasn't a drop of soap to be found. Shower floors? Completely pooled with water and littered with pubic hairs and old band-aids--seriously disgusting. You'd think first thing in the morning would be the cleanest it gets, but apparently not here. The equipment is all self-wiped, so don't expect any actual sanitation from staff. For $25 a month, you get a front-row ticket to a potential infection, not a fitness experience. It feels more like a test site for the health department than a gym. Hope you're up to date on your tetanus shot.

I should have said no. Not like this I haven't. People have suggested that I take a class before and I really had no idea that it would be so beneficial. I definitely didn't want to take a full hour class or hot yoga! I live right down the street and I had no idea Fire shaper was even there. I really should have realized by the name that it was gonna be hot, but I suppose than I probably wouldn't have tried it. They have certain rules in place to maintain social distancing. You're only allowed to take your mask off at your spot. They're not renting things. It was a great experience for my mind, my body and my soul. Holding the various positions build your strength, endurance and flexibility. Focusing on your body is a great way to clear your mind of whatever stress you are feeling in your life. The heat definitely helps you warm up your muscles to maximize your stretch and burn more calories. Ariel was the instructor of the flow class and she was great. She took us through a lot of different poses that flowed together. She seemed to give everybody in the class the attention that they needed. I didn't bring any water, my towel was small and it really was pretty pretty brutal. But when it was over I felt great and I slept like a baby. The next day I was surprised that my legs were as sore as they were. Did I get a full body workout? Fire shaper did everything right. You can buy classes and sign up for class online. The studio was kept clean. They sold anything you would need. It seemed like some of the people there knew each other and had a family environment.

Ok so I am very new to yoga , especially hot yoga and I suffer from fibromyalgia so it's going to…read morebe a long road for me but this place has given me hope. So I believe that today was my fourth class and I have to be honest the first few I wasn't so sure if I was going to keep going because I was a little intimidated and uncomfortable. I am very self concise and felt "out of place" the first few times , that changed today . First off the instructor Amanda is wonderful. I was feeling like I was getting a lot out of her class and I felt like she was really paying attention to the students and when they needed some guidance. Unfortunately I got very dizzy and the middle class and had to walk out because I really wasn't feeling well at all she came out to check on me and suggested I go in and just at least lay down on the mat I try to do so for a few minutes but I knew I was going to be sick so I walked out again. When I came out of the bathroom another instructor I think her name is Karen P was waiting to see if I was OK. She is the main reason that I'm going to be coming back to the classes she was a complete stranger to me but she sat me down and spoke to me and pull things out of me like she had known me for years and made me realize a lot of things and the reasons why I'm having such a hard time in the classes. Both she and Amanda are huge asset to the studio and I am grateful for the fact that I actually got sick today because if it wasn't for that I probably wouldn't of gone back because I would've just given up if no one spoke to me and pushed me through it. I really do hope that the owners see this post and let their instructors know what a difference they made for me this evening I feel positive and I'm going to keep coming back it may take me a long time before I could do a lot of the moves but I'm not giving up

I mentioned to Ryan that these are the 3 things I like to use and would like some sort of discount until fixed. He told me no and to go use another LA Fitness. He showed no concern whatsoever for my complaints and seemed bothered to be pulled away from his friends/coworkers that he was chatting with. As far as the gym, it is very dirty with the locker room being the worst. The locker room had a very bad odor for several months. It may not be the gym as much as the manager Ryan that needs fixing. That is no way to run a company.

Rich cares about seeing you do well and from my first session made me feel welcome. He has an easy going personality and cares abut his clients. He takes time to answer questions and genuinely wants you to succeed. As far as the workout goes, It's challenging. Lots of Sports athletic training drills mixed with some free weights and lots of gadgets LOL. Everything from medicine balls to ropes to TRX. There is definite variety and for the most part you wont get bored. (Except for lunges. I've never done so many lunges in my life lol) FYI: If you are expecting 1 on 1 personal training, this isn't it. While you will get 1 on 1 attention it isn't a private session. You are usually doing your own workout while others do their own workout. Usually the sessions are in small groups no bigger than 6. Rich acts more like a coach than a personal trainer. But trust me he's paying attention LOL The only drawback is that its very expensive to be a member. 130 a month for 3x a week is a lot. But to be fair the rates for places like this are about the same. This place is definitely worth checking out. It's a clean well-run facility managed and cared for by well-trained professionals.
