I have passed this location almost daily and with the positive yelp reviews, decided to give them a call to see if they could help.

I am looking forward to trying acupuncture with her sometime in the near future. Thank you

Full disclosure, I joined this group of studios. I tried them last year and found it too pricy…read more But then as I went around to other places in town, I just kept thinking about this workout format and the way I felt after doing some of the workouts. I did a trial run earlier this summer, and just bit the bullet and joined after that. As a result, Ive been to this studio a number of times recently, I found tis location to be perfect some days. Its much smaller than the Tonawanda location, which is good and bad. Good because there are fewer people in each class, bad because its often full for each class. Ive never been here with more than one instructor, and at Tonawanda's there is almost always 2, if not three but I imagine that has to do with size of class. The format is this - They create 6 workouts (Mon-Sat) which they then do for 4 weeks. Each workout is designed to hit different areas of the body, and some days have more weight and less cardio than others, they mix it up. Each class starts with the same tape to get everyone stretched out and ready for the next 50 min. Then there is a short cardio burst to get the blood flowing, and a longer section with some burpees or squats or whatever they think of. Then you pay attention while the instructor shows you what each exercise of the day is. By week four those demos don't take quite as long, but they still cover them all each day, and show you the various different levels for each exercise. Well trained group of instructors. Then the class starts, usually that portion is between 22-25 min. as you go from exercise to exercise. There may be some sort of 3 min end exercise, they often involve squats Ive found. Then the same cool down tape plays and everyone does that. Class ends as the instructor brings everyone into the middle for a "tip of the day". Sometimes those are super interesting, other times they are so-so. I don't think those are spelled out from corporate, I think they make them up themselves, which could explain why some are better than others. They have improved their website experience by joining mindbody, so that's nice. There is another location coming in Cheektowaga this fall. I look forward to checking that out too. This place is the home of the "6 weeks 20 lbs" challenge, and you'll have challengers in most classes. I cannot stress enough how much support these people get from the instructors and members in their goals. Most hit the goals if they show up to class and follow the diet plan. If you want to come try a class, PM me and Ill see if I can help make that happen.

DO NOT get a membership at catalyst, they are incompetent and greedy. They messed up my original…read morecontract, it was supposed to be $30 a month and they were charging me $33 a month. Not much of a difference but I had to make them fix it and I'm not even sure how that happened as their plans are $20, $30 & $40 a month. Trying to cancel your membership? A fkn nightmare. I spoke to the front desk in April 2026 and they told me my membership expired on 5/27/26 (12 mo contract was up) and would not renew. They gave me an email and number for cancellations and told me to just email to confirm it ended 5/27. I email early May and they said they have a 30 day cancellation policy and I will now be charged an extra month which directly contradicts what the front desk employees told me. To make matters worse, I see a $50 charge on my account, separate from the $30 monthly fee. I assume it was a cancellation fee but there was no mention of any cancellation fee being charged and there shouldn't be one since my contract was up. They do not care about you and only care about getting as much money out of you as possible. Save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else.

I signed up for a gym membership with Catalyst in December 2024. In March of 2025, I began having…read morehealth issues as I had a knee injury and would now be unable to go to the gym. I contacted the Catalyst location I had regularly gone to, on Broadway St., in April 2025 and told the gentleman at the front desk that I had torn my meniscus and would be unable to attend the gym. I requested to cancel my membership and was told since it was due to an injury, it would be notated in my account and I would have no future charges. However, they still charged my card again. I called again and explained my injury and that I could not walk or drive. Now, in July Catalyst is saying I have a past due balance, there are no notes on my account and that my membership was never canceled. I emailed Michelle Mesel, who the front desk member of the club my contract was assigned to, said needed to be sent the proof of injury to cancel. I included a doctor's note describing the extent of the injury and why I could not go to the gym, my contract stating I can cancel due to injury, and the actual MRI reports of the tear. Michelle said that my membership still could not be canceled, even with the proof and that there was a past due balance from April-July because the original report of my injury was never notated in their system.

I discovered this gym, in my search for places that offered drop in spin classes. Spin classes are offered 6AM Tuesday & 6AM Thursday , I believe 5: 30 pm on Tuesday evening as well. The classes are affordable with a low cost of $10, the class size is low, probably since its so early in the morning. Melissa is amazing, and didn't mind taking the extra few minutes to show me how to use the bike, and how everything worked. I love the option of not having a commitment to join the gym, and just being able to drop in for spin classes, as needed. They will help with endurance, skill and building myself up for the Ride for Roswell on June 24, 2023.

In addition to his wealth of knowledge and years of experience, he is very personable and sincerely cares about his clients. I started training with him in January (after a hiatus of several years due to personal reasons) I'm so glad I finally decided to stop wasting time and money on facilities and programs that didn't lead to results, and return to what I know works-Bob Alessi Personal Training. Since January I have lost over 20 pounds,and several inches. His facility is spacious and well equipped with top of the line strength and cardio equipment. I feel very lucky to have access to a trainer of Bob's caliber in Buffalo.
