Being…read morenew at a fitness facility can be EXTREMELY intimidating, but the staff AND clients here are all so warm and nonjudgmental. I've loved every class I've taken, and I know I'm getting a good workout as I leave sweaty and breathless and I'm sore the next day. They have classes for every BODY. It doesn't matter your fitness level, you'll fit right in here! I've yet to use their other amenities at this facility, but I'm looking forward to using their upgraded gym and sauna area in the near future once my schedule permits. You seriously cannot beat the cost at under $60/month membership and $10 drop in babysitting, or $30/month babysitting for during your workouts (see schedule, as they're only able to offer babysitting during certain times).

I found Hardcore Pilates while I was recovering from one of many orthopedIc injuries - I've had…read moremultiple surgeries on my knees, elbow, and shoulder and Kim and Jessica have always been extremely careful to not aggravate my joints. Instead, we work on healing my body from the core outward. Their knowledge of body mechanics is simply mind-blowing, and they can achieve major pain relief with only the tiniest adjustments to your movement and form. The personal attention you receive ensures the very best, safest and most effective results for your body and overall health. I'm stronger now than I have ever been. My posture has improved by leaps and bounds, I am virtually pain free, and have actually regained an inch of lost height! The instructors are so remarkably kind, caring and committed to their clients' well-being that it is and absolute joy to go to class. Finding Hardcore Pilates was hands-down the best thing I've ever done for my health. I know I'm treating my body to the best anti-aging regimen there is, and having a hell of a lot of fun while doing it!

I started working out at Game Changing Performance about 6 months prior to the pandemic shutdowns…read more After bouncing between numerous gyms, fitness studios, and random barre classes, I have found my way back to GCP 2 years later as GCP is literally the only gym where I have found the results that I am always seeking. As someone who hates cardio, sweating, and literally everything that revolves around the gym, GCP has this homey, friendly vibe that sucks you in and keeps you coming back. Don't know how to explain it, but you can walk into this gym in the worst mood possible, and you will walk out with a sweaty, shaky smile every. single. time. This gym will make you look forward to every workout (even the ones that include 500 million burpees). Desiree, Ashley, Nathan and the entire crew will get your heart rate up, that sweat dripping, and will safely push your limits even when you think your legs cannot hold you up any longer. GCP offers group classes with various timed stations with the perk of having a trainer to help guide you to ensure that you are using the proper form (super important for those of us who are athletically challenged). GCP has also expanded to include nutritional supplements that you can purchase onsite to add to their nutrition guides. I also like the fun (hard) little (big) challenges that you can choose to signup for throughout the year. Game Changing Performance is definitely unique to the area and unless you actively try to fail, you WILL see results. I wish the program was a little more customizable, as I do feel it to be a "one size fits most" program, and having a special plant based diet has made some of the transformation challenges in the past a bit more difficult, but I survived with a little extra work and creativity and a little extra guidance from Trevor who helped as much as he possibly could. If you're looking for a positive change with a supportive team that will hold you accountable, this is 100% the place for you.

My only complaint would be the length of time it's been taking to renovate the whirlpool in the women's locker room and the men's locker room. The staff is great and most have been around for many years and are always helpful and friendly!

I had been wanting to try a Barre class for some time, but due to being extremely intimidated by…read morethe stock photos of the extremely fit women in generic Barre classes, I always found an excuse not to go. After staring at my veggie food baby that had been growing over the winter, I finally decided that it was time to take a chance and face my fears. I scoped out Yelp and came across Orinoco. They have the best introductory prices in the area (first class) and I could actually afford their single class fees ($16/class) and multiple class packages without having to sell a kidney ($78/6 Barre classes). They have a variety of classes from yoga and mat Pilates, to Tai Chi, to my new favorite, barre. I also love that the class times actually work with my schedule, as most gyms only seem to have schedules that fit a stay-at-home mom's (or dad's) or student's daily schedule. I dragged one of my friends to my first 10:05 Saturday morning Barre class (because who wants to be scared and tortured alone?!) Ana, the owner, greeted us as soon as we entered the doors and was very friendly and personable (she even remembered me the next Saturday when I brought my sister in with me). She went through their schedule, pricing, and special events that were coming up, but didn't pressure either of us to signup for anything which is UNHEARD of anymore. Maria is an amazing instructor and teaches the Saturday morning classes I have been attending. She truly pushes you to do your best, but makes sure you do not over-exert yourself at the same time. She's constantly adjusting posture and techniques of each individual student so that you truly get the most out of your workout. And let me add that this is probably one of the cleanest gyms/studios I have been to in the surrounding area! Love it! I'm so glad that I found this place and cannot wait to start adding more classes to my workout schedule! I highly recommend Orinoco for anyone who is looking for a new gym that features group classes.
