When I am paying for a private session and can't get to the equipment & witnessing people with bad form because they won't limit class sizes to something one instructor can realistically oversee, its time to move on. If you like working out while dodging a herd of burpeeing CH moms and ownership unconcerned that longtime patrons are being rudely displaced, you've found your workout home. (Plus they've added a bunch of businesses within their space though original variance was for one business- altogether this means there is no parking for blocks for local residents and patrons).

I enrolled in WC Fitness on 3/1/22, I had a month to kill and I specifically wanted to lose weight…read more My weight was 200lbs at the time. By 3/31/22 i I was down to 196, gained 1lbs of muscle mass, lowered BMI. I was very happy with those results but even more important, my blood pressure has lowered to normal. Very happy with my experience at WC Fitness. My trainer (Morgan) was excellent and encouraged me to go beyond the boundaries I had placed on myself. The whole atmosphere is one of encouragement. Jordan and Walter were outstanding and Tony was an inspiration for her dedication. WC Fitness also provides dietary planning based on your objectives that is an invaluable part of the holistic approach I received. If you're serious, this is the Gold Standard. If you're not, stay home.

That said, Matt has encouraged me to get stronger and take responsibility for my conditioning. I'm almost 65 and the HIIT (high intensity interval workouts) have been a huge factor in improving both cardio and adding some physique definition. Matt has a particularly good handle on working with the over 60 set, so... I'M TALKING TO YOU! Give him a call and try out a few sessions. Exercise for aging boomers is more than slow jogs on Forbidden Drive and a set or two of push-ups. Side note: I met a 90 year old this week, who lifts weights and has a home rowing machine. He looked terrific. Invest in that body of yours and reap the benefits of good balance, cardio-vascular health and muscle definition. Thanks Matt!!

I discovered Kristin Thompson after I had lunch with someone that I had not seen in about a year…read more His body was transformed from a pudgy guy with poor eating habits and no regular exercise. Until he met Kristin. Then he became a new person with a new physique. I immediately phoned Kristin and set up a meeting so she could assess me and my physical handicap do to a spinal cord injury. I have been working out with her ever since. about three years. She has created a program for me and my limited ability to stand and walk without a walker or canes. So I certainly have benefited from her plan for me. You will benefit too. Kristin motivates me to work hard while she is training me. I highly recommend that you meet Kristin and schedule an evaluation and start on a personalized exercise program to help you reach your desired goals. And then maintain the program. She will motivate you too. Good luck!

I was searching on yelp for a new personal trainer as I recently moved. I came across Kristen…read moreThompson and scheduled a session with her because she had good reviews and is close to my home. Kristen is by far the best trainer I've worked out with. I've had 4 different trainers in the past 5 years (due to moving) and I couldn't be happier with our work outs. We do a mix of circuit training and strength routines which really reduces my stress and helps tone me. I'm so glad I found her and hope someone else chooses Kristen when looking for a great personal trainer.

I have been training with Tank for 2 years and have met all of my fitness goals thanks to his…read moreguidance. Before working with Tank, I was unable to stay consistent on any diet or fitness plan. He showed me how to make small, yet key changes that really worked for me and that no other trainer had mentioned to me before. I am still so impressed by how well he is able to customize my workouts! It makes working with him totally worth it! Unlike other trainers, Tank will work with me at my house or my gym. He has shown me the most effective exercises to do in both settings whether I have 20 minutes or an hour to workout. As a working mother with an incredibly hectic schedule, this flexibility is a huge plus for me. Tank is not only a knowledgeable and effective trainer and nutritionist; he is kind, patient, and has a great sense of humor. He goes above and beyond for his clients and truly wants them to succeed. I highly recommend Tank for all of your strength and performance needs.

The gym itself is pretty nice--good location, fun classes, and staff WERE friendly (not when you want to cancel). At the first notice that I may want to cancel, the trainer I was paired up with immediately became cold towards me. It was incredibly unnerving. I won't share her name as I don't believe she was really all that bad, but I will share that Aliceson is one of the most cruel and callous people I've ever had to deal with in my life. To be honest, I felt judged by her from the start, but I brushed it off. However, that intuition was spot on. I've been going through a very difficult time in my life post-COVID, and I can easily say that signing up for this gym in 2021 is something I sincerely regret, and am somehow still haunted by that decision because of this gym's awful payment system and extremely unhelpful customer service. It took months to even try to cancel my membership, and I even ended up paying in full! They will ensure you are humiliated in your decision to cancel by forcing you to come in person, unless you've moved 15 miles away or have a medical note stating you cannot come in. After paying IN FULL, they charged me month after month and now it's 2023, almost 2 years later, and somehow they are still trying to charge me! I would do anything to go back and never sign up for this gym, seriously, if you expect to ever have anything come up in your life at any point, DO NOT sign up here. Please, spare yourself. And to Aliceson, you were beyond rude and insensitive to me and my family's situation and I literally hope I never have to see or hear from you again. Ps. The spelling of your name is f***ing ridiculous.
