This review is for the STX free boot camp that they have every Monday and Wednesday:…read more I wasn't ready. Mentally or physically for what went down Wednesday night. I'll try to keep it short. (Yeah right! Lol) Overall- such a GREAT workout, experience and Emily breeze is so awesome!!! The only thing that kept me from quitting..well two things kept me from quitting. Knowing that summer is coming and my booty isn't where it needs to be and sheer will power to just keep going. I almost quit. Like literally said to myself "I can't do this...I so can't do this". And I heard the small inner former athlete say "yes.you.can" so I took another step...one more push up...one more lunge...one more squat. It's a brutal workout. I think we did (well I did because I couldn't do them all) at least 200 squats. I'm sure others did more. I think about 50 or more (I dunno I think I blacked out after a while) push ups, so many sprints, a bear crawl, back pedals, omg...my body was quivering. My mental state was shot....until something clicked and I remembered "yes I can". Sure I didn't do 20 squats at each cone, but I tried to do 15. I just kept moving. Never standing and never cheating myself out of the movement. I push well past my comfort zone. Along with about 200 people. It's a good mix of fitness levels and a great sense of community. I met some great people. Strangers were encouraging each other. The group clapped for those who were coming in last to encourage them. Amazing. By the time we got to the burpee plank series I was spent. I'm glad that was last. The ONLY reason why I'm kicking off a star is because at the end a big muscle guy kick my foot while I was in a modified plank hold (my knees were on the ground and I would alternate left and then right knee) and said "is that your plank?" I said "yes. You don't know my story. You try having stomach surgery" and he walked off. What I SHOULD have said was "is that your face? Oh it is? Then yes. This is my plank" That made me mad and confirmed why I don't xfit. I was judged by my plank and he kicked my foot. So for that, I kick off a star. At least my plank will get better...your face?? *shrugs shoulders* I'm going to go back. I am so happy that I didn't quit. It's challenging and it will help push me past my level of comfort!!!

Man oh man! While on our year long travels around the US, we found this FREE bootcamp on Charlotte…read moreon the Cheap's site looking for things to do. When I saw that it was co-led by THE Randy Moss, I knew we had to go, being a huge Patriots fan. Since we have been traveling around the US, we have really only been running and getting SOME body weight work in. This class whooped our asses haha! For a class size of about 200 people, it was very well organized! Everyone got a great workout, I felt like I could go ROUGHLY at my own pace, and everyone was very encouraging. I'd like to say that it is an all-levels class, but it really isn't. You would probably be better off with some athletic background or at least average/above average fitness level to keep up. I would be back if I am in the area again! Feel free to follow our travels at www.tandaintheusofa.com! One thing to note, is they do charge $5 to park in their lot, which we did not know. We did see many other people parking on the street perpendicularly across the street.

I love…read morethat MADabolic's flexible and fun interpretation of interval-driven strength training allows you an intense full body workout. As a Plus Size girl gym-timidation can be frustrating. I felt comfortable and empowered. Alex was great. He gave me great suggestions how to use what I learned at home. The venue is open and has a large breath of equipment to help you focus on training your core and specific muscles groups. I took a Momentum class that gradually builds in intensity. The Focus was on athleticism & endurance where the pace was 6 rotations (2 each at 70 - 80 - 90% off weights) on 6 different stations. Let's just say you can feel the burn! I also got adjust positions based on my flexibility and limitations. I like to give it 100% so I did change too much. It was such a great experience! I could see few monthly classes in my rotation. I really appreciate the private parking too. That's a huge plus for the area!

I received a free intro class after attending a fitness event to this location. I was looking for a…read moremore whole body HIT workout (with no treadmills), and this workout definitely HIT! I've been looking for a change since quitting my last gym and wanted something that would target my whole body for a whole class instead of only 20 minutes at other gyms. Everyone was friendly from the staff, owner, and even others attending the class. They took the time out to explain everything to me in detail, the process, what to look for, and the heart rate monitors you wear during the class. The class itself consisted of 6 stations, rowers, bench, weights, and cycles, and you do different kinds of workouts in each station for about 2 min and then switch to a different station. It felt awesome, and I felt like I was able to target every muscle I wanted to in just this one class. I took advantage of their black Friday deals and will def be returning to get my workouts. If you are looking around for different workout options, I def. Recommend scheduling your free intro class here and see what it's all about. This is their only location. They do have a parking deck, but the ticket can be validated. Also, some street parking if you're lucky enough to snag a spot.

The studio and equipment are top-notch, parking is free (validated garage parking), and they have showers! As far as the workout goes, I would say its a hybrid between F45 and Orange Theory. It's a circuit style workout, every workout is different, and the workout could include anything from battle ropes, slam balls, body weight exercises, assault bike, rower, dumbbells, kettlebells, pull ups, etc. Overall, it's a high-cardio class that incorporates strength training. Similar to Orange Theory, the class uses heart rate monitors (not required, but strongly encouraged). The goal of the class is to get "20 points," or 20 minutes at more than 70% of your max heart rate. If the above is the kind of workout you're looking for, then I recommend Volofit.

I've been twice now and it's a fun concept. The workout alternates between cardio days and strength training days. Those workouts also alternate themes and structure so you'll never get bored. It's very fast paced which can be a little overwhelming at first--especially if you're not familiar with the actual exercises. The balance here is that there are always two dedicated staffers available to ask questions and help you feel more comfortable with the movements. The instructors also monitor the room to fix your form. I do wish they would spend a little more time at the beginning of the class go over the agenda for the day, but again, you can always ask for one on one assistance as needed. They use A LOT of equipment which makes it fun. In one class we used 9 different pieces of equipment. Again, this can be intimidating at first, but switching it up really makes the class go by quickly. The gym is new and really clean, the women's bathroom is stocked with any supply you could need to be more comfortable during and after your workout such as dry shampoo, hair ties, deodorant etc. There is free parking in a garage attached to the building which is great in the uptown area! Highly recommend checking it out!

I was trying something new and didn't really expect to love it as much as I do. 10 separate saunas with different workouts like yoga, pilates, barre, cycle, rowing, etc. The workouts are led by virtual instructors-again, wasn't sure if I would like that but it works for me. The instructors are personable, knowledgeable and fun. They do rotate the instructors and workouts so it's not the same all the time. You book workouts through the app which makes it convenient and also adds the accountability factor. If you get bored easily and like to switch things up, I definitely recommend Hotworx. Sweating and detoxing while working out has been a game changer for me. Super nice staff and clean facility!
