What a difference time and trying different hours makes. I'm always impressed with how fit retirees…read moreand almost retirees are on the Cape. Fitness studios fill up and have cult followings. I also have a soft spot for women owned small businesses. A year later, now that I'm a local, I'm giving it a second chance. No, it isn't F45. Not close. But it does the trick. The owner is lovely and tries hard to keep stubborn clients that know it all safe and enjoying a good workout. I can't see the women in the Cape Cod area. Don't frighten me - some do! You can't guide them if they're doing something that could hurt them because these women know it all and want to do it their way. But the trainers here know how to keep them safe! (despite their hardest intentions to kill themselves, because some of them really wanna show that they are fit! really!)

My wife and I have done morning beach yoga with Wendy for two years now when on the Cape and she's…read morethe best! Great sessions on Sea St beach on the sand with the waves and breeze providing backdrop. And Wendy ensures everyone is moving at their own pace with clear guidance and encouragement, helping everyone get in touch with their inner selves, enjoy the environment and feel better physically. Highly recommended!

What a great way to start the day on the Cape! I noticed the class on the beach yesterday and saw…read morethe kindness that Wendy showed to a very young yogi and decided to try the class today. Fantastic! The setting is glorious! Facing the water, a cool breeze, the scent of the sea and the sound of the waves. What could be better?! Wendy led a great class and was quick with modifications if needed. Go! Enjoy!

fitness 500 is a great gym, from the beginner to the IFBB this is the gym to visit. In the summer…read moreit can be a bit crowded but I'll always get my workout in. I highly recommend visiting Fitness 500 to any one visiting the cape or a local looking for a gym.

As a long time member, Fitness 500 periodically has staffing issues when the employee that opens up…read morethe gym at 5:00 am or 6:00 am (weekend) does not show up. This leaves a dozen+ members waiting in the parking lot guessing when the doors will open or if they should go home. And honestly, things happen it's about how a business handles them that tells the story. That is where this review starts... For the 2nd time this month the person opening the gym no showed. Instead of Fitness 500 using this as an opportunity to go above and beyond or wow members they instead get defensive, testy, and full of excuses. The manager, 'L' may be a fine personal trainer but needs to spend more time learning how to speak to the public when such situations arise (this coming from a career executive who cringes when I read 'L's' emails other members share with me). Heaven forbid Fitness 500 would credit dedicated early morning members, but a simple stand at the door the next morning and proactively apologize would go a long way. Send an email, facebook post, or do something PROACTIVELY to acknowledge the frustration instead of waiting on members to contact you upset. Imagine if you wrote an email to Fitness 500 with your frustration and the next time you came in they said grab a drink from the cooler 'on us' for your trouble. THAT is customer service. THAT is wowing your customers, THAT is something memorable that members share with other members instead of people pissed off talking trash to one another about how poor Fitness 500 customer service is. And lastly.. when the owner gets involved, STOP yelling at members. Multiple members have shared this. We WANT Fitness 500 to be successful. WE WANT to have a fun gym community. Fitness 500 has every opportunity to come out shining in a unfortunate situation that seems to be reoccurring. But fails to do so each time and instead puts down members encouraging them to cancel. Nice!
