There are all age groups from college students to a few people in their 70s and everything in between. No one judges you, cares what you wear, your size you are or how out of shape you might be. If you think you can't do it because you're out of shape -- think again. I was so out of shape a year ago that I could barely do it anything, but I paced myself and got back on track. I'm down 22 pounds and feel pretty darned good. Try it!

There are currently 5 workouts a day Monday through Friday (5am, 6am, 12pm, 5:30pm, 6:30pm) and 2 on Saturday (8am and 9am). There's also a couple cardio classes each week. The workouts are never the same each day, and they are for every fitness level. I am not super fit (yet) and I scale some of the movements. My first workout at propel, the owner was coaching, and I had never lifted weights before. He focused on me a lot, and he said my main goal was to do the movements with good form and not to hurt myself. There's a really positive environment with all the members, and although I am usually the slowest and most out of shape, every one is so encouraging and I never feel judged. The pricing is good. It's more than you'd pay for a conventional gym, but you'll also likely see better results and have a better time. I absolutely love this gym, and I am so glad I joined!

I had little and none interaction with this person with the exception of a smug attitude.

I was visiting from Texas and happy I made the visit. Enjoy!

My previous review complained about their policy of requiring a credit card to book a free class…read moreand my hesitance to do so. I decided on a workaround. I used a visa gift card to book my free class. And I really liked the class, they were actually doing 2 free classes at that point in time, so I liked both classes. After the second I signed up for their cheapest membership which was 4 classes/month at $59. Then they ran a thing called Hell Week, where you got a free t-shirt if you did X out of X workouts in a week, I think it was like 5 of 7. This required me to buy more classes, but I got sucked into the challenge. And it was hard, but it was good. So I bumped up to their next level, 8 classes/month for $100. So I was going about 2xs per week. I'm a 38 yr old guy who hasn't really consistently worked out since high school. I had to kind of ease into this and make sure it worked with my schedule. But the workouts worked for me. The coaches work for me. I like the motivation. I like just showing up and having someone tell me what to do. They always show modifications, and I've never had anyone make me feel weak for the size dumbell I pick up, or modified sit-ups because my back hurts. I've increased my stamina and endurance on the treadmills (when I tried running outside last summer I kept getting bad shin splints, the coaches helped me with how to work those out, but the short bursts on the treads mean I don't get the shin splints very often anyways.) I asked the Coach Theo a few weeks ago about signing up for a 5k, and he encouraged me to do so, said I'm running almost that far on the treads in a class, and that I could totally do it. So I signed up for the Reentry & Recovery Fresh Start 5k last weekend and I ended up finishing far before my goal, knowing I could have actually run a little faster, and I bewilderingly won a medal, 2nd place in my age/gender division. It was an amazing feeling. I'm feeling way more strong, fit, energized. I love that there is a kind of team mentality but that it's also about me and my goals and pushing myself and not about anyone else. It's a great way to clear my head and a great start to my day. I'm now signed up for the unlimited classes for the next 6 months and I'm going like 4-5 times per week. You do have to use one of their brand of heart monitors, there's an arm one, a chest strap that's a little cheaper, and I think they're coming out with one that communicates with the Apple Watch? You can borrow one for the free class, rent one if you want each class during the first month if you're checking it out, but it's more cost effective to buy one eventually. Because of the 30 day cancelation policy, basically anytime you decided you want to quit you'll still have to pay for 1 more month. And they also have like 10 class packs. They want you to come in and try the class and then they'll explain the contract stuff to you, but it's not super high pressure. The people are chill and cool. There's a transformation challenge thing coming up in January that involves photos and weigh-ins and cash prize for percentage of weight loss.

I was a little nervous about trying yoga because I'm a very strong Christian, and yoga tends to be a controversial topic. However, I've never once felt pressured to do something I can't (physically or spiritually) do. It's even been verbally expressed in classes that it's okay to not do things you're uncomfortable with. I appreciate that. The locker room is great. It feels very welcoming. You don't feel like you're going to the gym. The cold towels are always a happy surprise because I forget about them every time. I always feel wonderful after a hot yoga session.

Facility: I've only used the hot studio, but overall the facility is great. There are days the room…read moreis too hot for me, but nothing above 105°F. This is minor, and rare, but when there are a few guys and we all want to change or shower, there is a wait as the men's changing room is for one person at a time compared to the women's. The mats for purchase are great, but don't forget to bring your own unless you plan on buying a new one (which was $80.. or in that range). I understand not sharing equipment due to Covid, but they should carry a cheaper version in the event you do forget your mat. Instructors: When I first started going, I did a two week pass and went nearly every day to get a feel for the different Vinyasa instructors. I settled on 2 who I think are the best. The others have varied backgrounds, teaching styles, and levels of knowledge. I felt some didn't have the same background as myself, and couldn't really offer anything for me. Some taught the classes more as cardio, and less mind/body connection, which is what I look for. I appreciate a strong balance of breath focus, mental calm, and physical endurance. The two teachers I would recommend for Vinyasa in a heartbeat are Brandy Davis and Tana Aguas. They have great energy, and both appreciate the mindfulness of yoga as a practice, and not just a workout. Brandy is my go-to instructor due to her balance with yoga being in the present moment and also leading a strong vinyasa flow. For the first few weeks I was still acclimating to practicing in a hot room, until I finally got to the point where I would take her flows and push myself harder on additional variations of poses--hand stands, standing splits, toe balances, etc. Brandy would actually sometimes add these to the flow as well. The other great thing is she reads the room and tries for accommodate everyone. Her hot flow class is not for beginners, but all are welcome to attend and take the flows at their own pace. Her flows change with a fair amount of frequency which keeps things exciting for regulars. Tana reminds me of my first yoga instructor I ever had. She is certainly more on the spiritual side of yoga, and her classes tend to have a bit of variety from class to class. She also incorporates more artistic elements such as stylized asanas incorporating mudras. She will also challenge the class with various advanced poses when the class seems accepting of it. If you're looking for a mindful and challenging practice, S.W.E.T is a great facility and both Brandy and Tana are wonderful. I hope when Covid clears that the class sizes stay the same, as the current 12-14 people per class is perfect. I did hear before Covid, the class sizes were larger, so my feedback may be less positive had the classes been more full. As it stands now though, I highly recommend it.

Yesterday evening was our first class and we had a pretty good time, today's slow-burning butt muscle ache aside. First of all, the location is way tricky. Just know that to get there, you need to be heading east on Chestnut and turn into the building's parking lot before the stoplight or you'll have to double back and try again. Trust me on this. Their suite is in the very back of the building, so just park as far south as you can. When you walk into Balance, you're immediately greeted with a caliber of truly inviting swankiness that departs from the cold sterility of other gym settings and is distinctly Moroccan. The brick, concrete and wood beam shell is softened with shining gold sashes and curtains, an almost concerning ton of pillows, paper lamps, and glass vases. It's maybe not the most ideal set-up for sweaty people, but I have to admit, I was digging it. The receptionist was insanely friendly to the point where I instantly remembered her name. Christina, maybe? Yeah! Christina! I rule. She showed us around and introduced us to the filtered water cooler AND the orange-infused water dispenser (both of which we were pleased to meet), not to mention the FREE!!!!! KEURIG!!!!!! COFFEE MAKER!!!!!! á la Studio 417 Salon, and maybe other businesses somewhere. After introductions, my friends and I headed into one of the warm, dark, clean rooms for our first workout, which was comprised of 20-second bursts of almost absurdly effective cardio/strength building moves in sets of 8. After that, we could rest for a minute. It was a pretty ideal workout: challenging but mostly fun, sweaty, and joyously non-competitive. Those types of scenarios can be intimidating for average gals just wanting to tone up (trust me, I've been there before) but even the assertive, mic-bearing leader wasn't aggressive and helped me through the moves I didn't grasp right away. The only thing I really didn't care much for was the Kesha-esque playlist, but I suppose the likes of Kesha must be played for the greater good (the greater good being college ladies, mostly). Four stars because I had a good time, was impressed with the genuine hospitality, and felt it was worth it. One star to grow on.
