Addicted! This Pure Barre location opened in August of 2016 and I have been a member ever since…read more Lisa, the owner, is an absolute sweetheart and the other instructors are equally as amazing! Pure Barre is a 55 minute full body workout using isometric exercises to push your muscles to the point of fatigue. This is where the change happens! I immediately saw results after starting Pure Barre. As if seeing results made this workout addicting enough, the classes are actually fun! Although the flow of the class remains the same, the movements change each class so you will never do the same exact workout twice. The other members who belong to this location are empowering and so kind. I love belonging to Pure Barre Brecksville!

I signed up for the Unlimited Starter Pack (2 weeks) hoping to explore aerial classes and see if…read morethis was a good fit. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing from both a customer service and overall support standpoint. My first class (Aerial Silks) was less than satisfactory--I actually had to leave early due to motion sickness. While I understand that part is personal tolerance, I was hoping to try other classes within the package before making any longer-term commitment. Shortly after, I had a family medical emergency that required me to leave town to bring a family member back from Montana and help coordinate care at Cleveland Clinic. This obviously limited my ability to attend classes during the remainder of the 2-week window. At the beginning of the second week, I received a call from a representative offering to "help me sign up for classes." I tried to explain my situation and asked if there was any flexibility--specifically whether I could convert my unused time into an Introductory New Flight pack (even if I had to pay an additional fee), so I could properly try classes after my family situation stabilized. Instead of addressing my request, the conversation repeatedly shifted toward selling me a monthly membership. I explained multiple times that I had only attended one class and was not in a position to commit, but the focus remained on upselling rather than listening. What stood out most was the lack of empathy regarding my medical emergency. The call eventually ended abruptly, with the representative saying she was "sorry she called," which felt dismissive and unprofessional. Overall, this experience felt less about supporting new students or encouraging participation in the sport, and more about pushing memberships. I had hoped for a more understanding, flexible, and customer-centered approach.

If you are a procrastinator that doesn't do "adult" well...Gretchen will whip you into shape and bust out 10+ appointments for you in less than 6 seconds. Chloe (with a "C" thank you very much ) is a CBD expert and will provide all you need to know about their supplements, tinctures, etc. Autumn, has answered the phone every time I've called, she is always pleasant, answered all of my questions and was very patient (she...also...laughed at my jokes - which makes her funny) Initial Evaluation: done by Laurie. This was unlike any eval I've ever had, including the 2 doctors who sent me for PT and another PT place I went to before Balance Solutions (only went to 1 appt. = terrible). Laurie didn't just sit in a chair and ask boring questions, she was very hands on. I was up and down, moving/twisting/turning this way and that way, all the while she had her hands on my shoulders, hips, legs - measuring/assessing/evaluating. Laurie determined my treatment plan and put together my team of people who will be helping me through this journey. Laurie was fun (a requirement of mine), laughed at all my jokes (another requirement) but stayed on task and kept the process moving. She was very engaged and a good listener. After the eval, I had a massage from a very nice person but I don't remember her name (she went to Nordonia High School) Facility: VERY clean. Ample parking. Easy to get to.

I was looking for a new fitness studio after moving to Lakewood, and RRW definitely fits the bill…read more I manage some solo workouts, but needed something with the competitive cardio push and have been beyond happy with the offerings here. They have indoor rowing, spin, TRX, yoga, and a variety of combo classes that get your heart pumping and muscles burning. The instructors are all friendly and helpful, and while there isn't a lot of time or space for chatting, the students friendly and positive. I like the combo classes the best - either spin/lift or row/weights. Parking can be a little tight in the area, so leave yourself time to get parked and settled prior to class.

The girl at the front desk demanded $10 for a heart rate monitor loaner (Really?).

(She called me to address this and turns out the lousy customer service is on her part, she runs the place with an iron fist). Finally, this instructor "Rob" would not let me deviate from the weight routine at all and forced a confrontation. Look, I lift up to 3 plates on each side at the gym and need to level up my workouts. Doing step ups or a simple plank isn't going to give me any gains or soreness.

I've been going to this small gym for quite some time now that I really thought I already reviewed…read moreit on Yelp but there is a time for everything so here is another review. Keeping this one short and sweet. LOCATION -- Junker Fitness gym is on the main floor of an apartment building so residents who live there have free access to use the gym equipment. It is located right off of the Cleveland Shoreway (freeway) across from Edgewater Park. The actual neighbourhood name is called Detroit-Shoreway, I think, but it is also close to the Gordon Square neighbourhood of Cleveland. CLASSES -- If you're not a resident of the apartment building and therefore don't have access to use the gym equipment, then like myself, you can pay to attend a structured class with a licensed personal trainer. They offer group exercise classes which include HITT and yoga classes ($15/person). The HITT or High Intensity Internal Training classes are my favourite with instructor Christa R. on Saturday mornings. I've also taken Curtis's class and he normally teaches on Wednesdays. I LOVE the HITT class on Saturdays because Christa is a great fitness trainer and the class is limited to a small size of about 10-12 people. The class is 45 mins long and involves using dumbbells (weights), battle ropes, sledge puller, rowing machine, jump ropes, boxing punch bag, etc. We also do alot of body weight exercises such as pushups and squats. Different exercises are done with each class every week. The HITT classes are offered all year-round on Wednesday evenings around 6:30pm and Saturday mornings at 8:15am. The yoga classes are offered when the weather gets warm because the classes are on their rooftop outside. I wish their HITT classes were offered more often throughout the week because that's how much I LOVE them. I highly recommend Junker Fitness if you want personal accountability on your fitness journey.

Two minutes after I walked in, they told me I was standing wrong. And seriously, how bad could I…read morebe? I'd been standing for years and had very rarely fallen over. What was wrong with my standing? Well, as it turns out, the back pains I had were caused by that standing. Which meant I wasn't sleeping as well at night. Which meant I was drinking caffeine to try to stay awake, and it all cascaded to affect my overall health. I was expecting, you know, massive weights and running 'til I puked. But they gave me tiny weights, realigning my body, grueling workouts that strengthened muscles I didn't even know I'd had because I was so unaware of my body - which I viewed as a carrying case for my head - that I didn't realize what had atrophied. And Fitness Evolution worked with me and my wife to create customized exercises that always pushed us but never broke us - which was critical when my wife broke her hand ziplining, and they had to spend weeks jerry-rigging exercises that worked around her injury. I've been doing this for a year now. And I'm not a skinny person, mainly because if you read my other Yelp reviews you'll see they're all about drinking and desserts, and honestly, I've cut that down but to be truly ripped I'd have to give all that up. But my back doesn't hurt on long airline flights. I sleep well, for eight hours. My body has strength in places I never knew it could have strength before. And now, when I look in the mirror, I see how I was standing wrong. I see all the ways Fitness Evolution adjusted me, one session at a time, to give me better flexibility and health. They helped me. It ain't cheap. But when I consider all the doctors' bills I'm gonna save from my body not degrading down the line, I'm callin' this a bargain.
