The instructors are very friendly and encouraging and will walk you through each set of exercises. They give you arm bands to monitor your heart rate and track your performance (brought out the competitive side of me). The exercises weren't very challenging for me, however, but they seem to be a good fit for someone who doesn't know how to weight lift. You buy a subscription and can drop into any available class.

#SCAMMY MEMBERSHIP PRACTICES & INHUMANE POLICIES…read more I joined Orangetheory last month and paid $100 for the unlimited plan. During sign-up, the front desk staff just wanted me to sign up and had me sign the contracts (which most people understandably don't have time to read on the spot) and told me I could "cancel anytime--don't worry." When I was rethinking coz it was 200$ after a month. Him saying you can cancel anytime gave me some kinda assurance that I will kinda see how I like or be and then think if it's not for me. Fast forward a month--I only attended two classes till now. When I called to cancel, I was told I still owe the upcoming $200 monthly fee due to a 30-day notice policy that was never mentioned during sign-up. If I had known that, I would've canceled the very next day after my free class. But of course, the staff conveniently left that out. What's worse? They told me I could downgrade my membership one day before billing to avoid the charge, but couldn't cancel. So basically, they can take your money, just not stop the payments. How convenient for them. This place is a trap is a trap, expensive af for no good reason honestly. They hide behind policies they don't explain and have zero empathy or flexibility. I understand business is business, but this feels deceptive, greedy, and cold. Do better, Orangetheory, Foster city. Ps~ Front desk lady was trying to help, however, since the manager was available at the time of call, he/she was not trying to help and gave me the policy bs. The problem is in management and the managers.

Spinnaker Club is located at Beach Cove apartments as one of their many amenities. I have been…read moreusing the gym to workout for over a month now. I am not much of a using apartment-gym-kinda person but this one changed my mind. It is so beautiful. There are two parts to it. First floor has a small room for strength training and includes a good amount of "must-haves" equipment's. Second floor has treadmills, stair master, elliptical, and cycling machines. Everytime I go here, its always clean and smells good. There is also a big room behind the cardio equipment where Pilates, Yoga and dance classes are held or could be held. I use this room for stretching and warm-ups. What makes me motivated to go here and workout almost everyday is the view when I am running on treadmill. There is a poll outside and beautiful palm trees. This makes me feel like I'm on a beach or something. Hahahahaa. Love it. When you are done working out, you can go take a dip in the pool and swim. Also, there is a shower room and restrooms on the first floor. Its usually busiest in the morning 7-8am to 11am and at evenings 4-5pm onwards. Lunch times are usually less hectic almost close to none. If you stay at Beach Cove apartments, then definitely check it out. It's worth working out here for free than paying at outside fitness center.

The waiting area is a bit small, but looks clean and well-maintained. It does get a bit crowded though if it's busy. Studio itself has 12 machines and tons of screens everywhere. The routine is played on the screen and the instructor focuses on adjusting the clients. It's a little different than what I'm used to - typically there aren't screens and the instructor is both leading the class and simultaneously offering adjustments. I do wish the screens would show how long you're in the move for. It only starts counting down after 20 seconds, but I want to know how long I need to plan to suffer for!

Danny was a patient teacher and would ensure that proper form was followed. He customized exercises to my needs and even to my level of sleep from the night before. Danny was a fantastic cheerleader bringing out the best in me. And even though I would be sore from some workouts, I wanted to come back the next time. He was able to instill in me solid routines that I will look to continue on my own. I truly cannot express how awesome Danny is as a personal trainer. It was a pleasure working with him for the past year.

The owner, Pattie, really lives her yogic teachings and is exceptionally kind and gracious. She also leads fantastic classes that are the perfect mix of physical challenge and spiritual reflection/meditation. What's also really great is that she offers in person classes in addition to virtual-- the doors and windows of the studio are left open so masks are optional. Normally she offers outdoor classes as well but has stopped due to the arrival of more wintry weather (however there are still a few weekly outdoor classes with Olga). Olga and Grace are wonderful instructors as well-- both really get you in a good flow and you'll be buzzing with high vibes afterwards. I've taken far more classes with Grace, who is one of the sweetest, most skilled instructors I've found and really takes the time to make sure everyone has proper alignment. She takes everyone's personal needs and limitations into account yet really motivates you to push yourself farther than you thought you could go. At the moment she is only offering virtual classes. Overall this is just such a warm, welcoming studio with very intimate classes that span all levels of ability. I cherish it for what it has done for my physical and mental health!

I stood outside calling (along with 2 other patrons) for 10 mins. When Olga arrived the only thing she said was "are you registered?" No introduction of herself or the practice, no questions about my experience, goals, limitations, etc. I was not asked for proof of vaccination. The class was disjointed and confusing, and transitions were awkward. No forecasting poses, no breath engagement, no explanation of proper form or alignment. Olga taught to the camera or the mirror the whole time (I was not told we'd be on camera or recorded).. Another student tried to tell Olga that she felt pain in some of the poses and Olga told her to try to remember which poses it was and remind her at the end of class. Afterwords, Olga didn't say one word to any of the students except to remind one woman to register.

I wanted to take a moment and talk about what I most admire about Herb. When someone has the level of success Herb has had, it would be really easy for him be hard on students that don't have the same ability as he did. Herb and his staff never pushed my son too hard. They let Keanu come in, work at his own pace and pushed him only at the right times. The long game is working as my son Keanu is really enjoying class and has now asked to come in 3 days a week instead of 2 days a week to train more. When my son first joined 4 years ago, there were a bunch of students. I didn't know if he was just going to be a number. I am happy to report that Keanu is not just a number to Herb and his staff. When I look into Herb's eyes, I can see that he really cares about my son and wants what is best for his future. What parent could ask for more? Herb has plenty of students but was also nice enough to praise our family for our loyalty with staying with him through the pandemic which means the world to us. I highly recommend Peak Performance to anyone looking to better themselves or their children!
