I have been attending this Aikido dojo for over four years now. As someone with no previous martial…read morearts experience, I hadn't originally known what to expect when I signed up for my first basics class. What I found was a welcoming environment and friendly people. This school focuses on traditional Japanese Aikido and doesn't lose sight of the martial aspects of the art. The dojo itself is a calm and well-kept space, ideal for focusing on training. Okuyama Sensei is a constant source of inspiration, the kind of person you want to work hard for. There are a wide range of ages present (as well as quite a few families), but the common thread is that it's a group of caring and respectful people. I never enjoyed gym environments (which I find boring), so this dojo has been the perfect blend of mental and physical exercise.

I really love Hot Yoga Downtown. I've been practicing at this studio since last October and it…read moretruly feels like home. I've yet to take a class here that I didn't 100% love. The vibe here is super chill and everyone I've met, including other students/yogis, have just been super wonderful. Teachers here make you feel welcome and appreciated. They learn your name and I really feel cared for whenever I come to class. The bathrooms and showers are excellent and clean and I never really have a hard time finding parking, there is a lot of parking on the street and by the park. I look forward to every class I take here, whether it's Hot Vinyasa or Pilates (haven't tried the Yin classes yet). Some teachers will really push you to your limits and I feel like my practice has gotten so much stronger since starting here. I've been to several other studios around Albuquerque, and all are very unique and great in their own ways, but HYDT is the kind of vibe where I don't feel self conscious or embarrassed or uncomfortable. No phones allowed in the studio which I love! People talk to each other and connect with one another and I really feel like that is how it should be. This place is amazing if you're thinking about trying it out just do it! You will not regret it.

Iron soul was by far the best gym I ever trained at until:…read moreYesterday morning I went to iron soul and ran on the treadmill for an hour watching a movie on my phone the whole time. I returned home and received an email from iron soul stating that my membership had been cancelled because I was "staring at female members and making them feel uncomfortable". I had no idea what they were talking about and racked my brain as to how something I did could be labeled as excess staring . I called and left a message for an explanation and right to defend myself, I emailed back and asked how they could kick me out without speaking to me on the matter based on someone's subjective opinion of what my eyes where doing. They did not answer my calls during business hours and did not respond to my email as of yet. They labeled me guilty without the decency of giving me a combat veteran and first responder the right to defend myself against accusations on my character. This is such a disappointment because I loved the training there so much However if this is how they do business and I feel that I have to walk on eggshells and look at the ground in order to not inadvertently offend someone there than I rather not be a part of that gym. Hope you have a better experience than I did however another former member I know was telling me something similar happened to him so I'm not crazy.

Thank you so much!…read more We are currently on a road trip and had to get our daily workout, and this "box" was perfect! It was a GREAT drop-in workout with cardio and weights. And our coach (I'm sorry I missed her name but she had the faded rainbow hair with one side cut short) was knowledgeable and attentive, and really encouraged us through the workout! We also brought our two daughters, and when the music got a little explicit, she switched the songs. She didn't have to, as the words were fast enough and our girls were entertained and distracted by the pups sitting off to the side that they didn't notice, but she did and she took the initiative, and I was VERY appreciative. It was one of those little things that went above and beyond and I was grateful. We loved it and will for sure come in again next summer on our 2020 road trip to Missouri! (This year it's Maryland).

Crossfit. This word…read moreconjures up so many images. Knee socks, Bandanas, Bacon, Pull ups, Microscopic Shorts, Plate Weights, Chalk, and Bacon. Yes -bacon is worthy of 2 mentions. I've been a member of Burque's active community for a few years (let's get real- gym rat, exercise junkie, person on the Bosque that says on your left waaay louder than deemed necessary). I started hearing more and more about Crossfit and decided to investigate the legit way- YouTube. I was blown away watching these terrifying feats of strength/endurance and immediately thought not my scene. Saying you can't do something is lame- and certainly not how Mr. Rogers raised me to think. I woke up one morning and decided to take the plunge in the world of badassery (yeah that's a word now) I rolled up to Sandia Crossfit thinking "Will I survive? I'm going to be the only person without knee socks....I cant do a pull up if a kittens life depended on it" One free intro class later I was hooked. (Saturday 11-12 free intro hour) Sandia Crossfit is the only gym I've seen that takes "Anyone can crossfit" to heart. The workouts are tailored to your own capabilities, you will be able to participate no matter your fitness background/limitations. The instructors are knowledgable and genuinely want to help you get the most out of the class- quickly offering adjustments, modifications ( or in my case- pushing me to the level I want to be). Classes are an hour comprising of warmup workout, technique work, and lastly a WOD that will give you that endorphin rush you've been jonesing for. They also offer functional yoga as well as mobility (Mobility is taught by a physical therapist at no extra cost- seriously) Paleo pot lucks, snow shoe outings, swim wods? I can't say enough about my love for this place, the people that run it, or the sport of Crossfit.

New Heart NM is a medically supervised gym for people recovering from heart attacks, strokes, covid, or fighting obesity. It's also a place to go if you want to get approved for a workout by a cardiologist, with a routine pulled together by one of several kinesiologists or exercise specialists. It's also used by seniors who have access to the Silver Sneakers program set up as part of their insurance or medicare. It's largely an under-utlized gym, where all the equipment is in very good shape and kept clean by rules of Covid and all of the clients there adhere to the rules. If anything, they have too much equipment on the floor, given than it's never more than 10% full. The staff is welcoming, well educated, and each client is committed to their routine and has to track BP, O2, and heart rates throughout their designated exercise routine. Target heart rates, resistance levels, and circuits are all noted on detailed exercise sheets that every client has to keep track of. Where they could improve greatly is refining their work flow. They need to invest in a way to keep track of all the data electronically so that the staff isn't faced with a mountain of data entry everyday. What's the point of having a kinesiologist or an exercise specialist if they're not able to be on the floor regularly, encourage clients, and share knowledge if all you're doing is having them do data entry? Because the personal touch is how you earn a good reputation as well as getting new members. Without their enthusiasm, this is simply a place for old people on Silver Sneakers to shuffle through. They're also not working to get Gen X'ers and Gen Y's, who also might have issues with obesity, high blood pressure or diabetes. Pretty much everyone there is an aging boomer or older. There's much they could do to expand their services to provide services that they can bill insurance for. They could clear out the small room and turn that into Physical Therapy with Physical Therapists for recovering orthopedic patients and people who've been sent thru worker's comp. They could have a robust dietary program, staffed by a clinical Registered Dietician who works with not only those who want to lose weight, but those trying to come back from fighting cancer. They could do more adaptive sports training for those with mobility limitations. A higher profile overall when it comes to supporting athletic or fitness events that active people want to be in will help people find out about them, gain credibility in the community, and get them in. In all, there's only upwards to go, but that will involve retooling their board of directors and add persons with strong community networking, and financial backgrounds, who want to see this gym a success and unclip the wings of the present staff who are all stuck behind computers. Operated properly, and expanded to the westside and the NE, this gym could save and enhance lives.
