I'm 10 weeks into both the gym membership and transformative coaching with Barefit. I'm giving it 5…read morestars, I would take a half star off if I could only because the price is a little high. Thoughts on the gym - the workouts are a combination of crosssfit/interval training with some "outdoorsy" challenges like wall and rope climbing, tire flippling , etc. added in. There are three standard workout each week, one focused on "pull", one "push" and one that is obstacle captures based with some core/cardio added in. In each of the workouts there are usually 8 to 10 exercises. The team here clearly puts a lot of thought into keeping each week new and challenging. In 10 weeks I think I've done about 28 of the pack workouts (so maybe 260-280 sets of exercises) and maybe 5 of them have been exact repeats. In addition to the pack workouts, they have V10 workouts which are 20 minute high intensity interval training - row, bike, punch bag, jump rope, etc. I've done about 8 of those and they are a solid supplement to the pack workouts. I should mention also that there are people here of all ages and abilities. The coaches do an excellent job of modifying workouts for everyone. Another thing I've noticed is that the workouts are always structured so that no one person is on display and 95% of the time not dependent on each other (if I had to guess, the coaches use discretion with that as well based on who is working out). One person might be doing handstand push-ups while another in the same rotation is doing standard pushups from their knees and it's neither here nor there to anyone. So sum review of the gym itself - if you are an athlete and have prior gym experience you won't get bored and will have plenty to challenge you. If you aren't an athlete and/or don't have experience with gyms, the team at barefit will welcome you in and give you all the tools you need. Thoughts on transformation coaching - I'm in my 10th weeks of transformation coaching as well. They pair you up with a coach and provide a nutrition plan for you to follow that includes grocery lists and portion recommendations. You work through an app where you can text or talk whenever you want and the coach sends you workouts, inspiration, nutritional advice, etc. and checks in with you multiple times a week. It has worked very well for me, I've lost about 2 lbs a week since I started, gained a ton of flexibility and strength, and have totally changed my workout and dietary habits. Disclaimer as with any gym/coaching program though, you 100% get what you put into it. I've been 90% compliant with my food and also added additional running and weightlifting in outside of the Barefit workouts. Sum review of the transformation coaching - if you are 110% committed to making a change and willing to put the work in, this is a great tool to have while you are working to make that change in your life. Price wise it is not cheap, like many programs it's more affordable if you sign up for a full 6 weeks or 6 months. If you do either of those, take advantage of the additional V10 workouts and yoga and you can easily get 5-6 solid workouts a week out of the program. Overall really pleased, I intend to continue my membership when my 6 months is up at the end of June.

They've now changed their name, but if you're smart you'll stay away from the shoddy business…read morepractice I encountered here. The owner(?) Rob and I spoke on the phone and he told me one price. I paid the first and last month of that quoted price by card then. The next day he sent me an agreement that stated an almost 1,000 fee would be charged as well. When i discussed this with him he stated the fee would not be charged, but he sent me another agreement with the same fee listed in it. At that time I declined membership and asked for a refund. I've never stepped foot in the building and didn't feel comfortable doing so at that point because I felt lied to and like we had started on a bad foot due to Rob asking me to put my credit card back on file and me declining. I felt like he was frustrated with me at that point so I felt uncomfortable.

With 24/7 access using your card, a swipe can get you in any time you please. As a female, I'm always a little hesitant entering a place that has no staff at certain hours, but I've never had a problem. All of the patrons here are polite, and I feel fairly comfortable going in at anytime. Clean towels, fairly good magazines, and spotless floors and equipment. Some people gawk at the price ($45 a month for 1 year contract) but I think it's perfect. You truly get your $$$ worth. I like supporting a local business, and If I have an issue, I can actually talk to someone instead of being given the run around, like with chain gyms.

Pricing for rentals is shared on the website. The space is versatile for almost any fitness class - hardware floors, fitness props, lobby for check-in. Mirrors line one wall from end to end. If you're looking as a student, follow their IG page. They periodically promote instructors renting here and let you know how to look them up for more details and class pricing. Some classes are one-offs while others promote a 4- to 8-week boot camp. I love the idea of not being committed long term. I also love the idea for a trainer to test their idea and build a following. This is a local small business, and it's managed by the owner of Barre Code next door.

Barbie loves when I go downtown to her center, but I have to branch out sometimes, so I came to…read morethis gym in Louisville to work on the muscles for a bit. I have a lot of good things to say about this very unusual and busy YMCA in downtown Louisville and I can see why everybody loves it because the people working here are off-the-charts friendly. The guy at the front desk was a southern gentleman of the younger variety and he helped me get into the building and told me where everything is and he could sense that I was in a hurry so he hurried along his instructions. He got me in within just a few seconds of showing up. So he gets 10 stars out of five. However the locker system just doesn't work. I used a very similar system in Memphis the other day and having never used a punch-button combination locker before I followed the sign and it worked perfectly and there were no issues. Not so much in Louisville. The signs are complex and contradictory. There are not many of the signs so I didn't even see one before I started using it. An old man told me how to work it and I did what he said and it immediately locked my stuff in without me entering a combination. I could not get to my stuff so I had to go all the way down at which point the guy at the desk told me that I could have just called him and the old man on the way out told me that this happens all the time and not to feel bad. Well I don't mean to be a jerk but if this happens all the time then there's a problem! Change the system LOL. The reason why it happens all the time is because these things just don't work very well. It's that simple. He told me that I could park for just a dollar in the garage across the street which I couldn't find in traffic, which was awful on all the streets near this Y, and didn't feel like carrying all my stuff from a different block anyway so I just use street parking which is freaking $0.25 for eight minutes which is absolutely freaking ridiculous. This is not New York City and in fact a lot of New York City has much more affordable parking than that. Ew. The actual equipment is pretty good and they have some nice mats and various different things that I could use and then there are other things that could be improved. Such as the bikes. And there was the whole locker room drama because apparently there's a lot of theft around here or at least people think there is so I was told not to leave my stuff in the locker room even for a couple of minutes unattended. The janitor guy actually came into the shower to tell me to come back and get my stuff. Pulled the curtain back on me naked in there, soaping up, and almost made me slip over while simultaneously having a heart attack. I appreciated the consideration and even gave me a 3 minute lecture about how things can go missing even with just a few seconds and he's absolutely right, in theory. But considering that I only spent 90 minutes here and then half of that time was dealing with drama, it wasn't really as appreciated as he meant it to be. The drama of the parking situation. The drama of the lockers that don't work properly. The drama of the shower warning. If you consider all of that then I think you'll consider four stars for this gym to be pretty generous. Should really be less, but the southern young gentleman checking me in and sorting out my locker was so nice, he carries the 4 star rating. But basically no workout for me because of dramaaaa. Next time I'll use one in a different part of the city.
