To start, you're greeted by the best receptionist/bouncer ever (Co-Owner Oskee the Lab) for snuggles, encouragement, and a little slobber. The trainers and staff are incredibly helpful, approachable, and more than willing to help you achieve your goals. (And help you find new goals you didn't even know you wanted). The level of care, passion and professionalism is unmatched. You don't need to be a gym human to feel like you belong. Members are just as friendly and helpful and you really feel like you deserve to take up space. (And you really do ) The space? Oh buddy! There's so dang much. From dumbbells, to barbells, to rowing machines, to cardio machines (of multiple types!); the options are endless and there's always more being added. The equipment is really well taken care of and there's never a time that I've been there that I feel like I'm being crowded or waiting on someone to get off equipment. There's so many options for machines that I am still learning more and more each session. Being female focused as a gym was really important for me when I was doing research. I have a cocktail of hormone issues, autoimmune and chronic illnesses so I needed somewhere that could help me figure out my body to work with me and not against me. And this, this is the place for that. I feel safe, supported, and really really strong. They host classes and I cannot wait to check those out! As a member they're included in my package and it's the coolest perk. Not a gym human but want to be? Hire one of their personal trainers! It's a literal GAME CHANGER. Need your own personal hype human?! They've got you. It's literally the best investment in my health and fertility journey that I've made. So schedule a tour, and join the coolest place ever. You will not regret it.

***EDIT*** My lovely girlfriend went to have a chat with the…read morestaff of Planet Fitness on her lunch break. With eloquence and much more resolve, she was able to work something out. Turns out the contract we signed has a 3-day grace period in which can be cancelled without penalties. What's more is that Planet Fitness chose to honor our situation and refund us the difference! In conclusion, I find it appropriate to change my review from a 1-star to 4-stars. I short them a star for their General Manager being too lazy to know their contractual policy and standards. She chose the easy way out and in turned pissed some customers off. (I know who she is by name but intentionally left that out as this is a review on the business and not a witch hunt on lazy employees.) ***I left the original review to outline just how the situation was handled.*** Honestly, I have had a lot issues with Planet Fitness across the country. But at this particular establishment they had a "deal" that expired at the end of last month where you spend $10/month, $29 startup, with something like a $34 annual fee. My girlfriend and I are thinking we should try to get on that before this "exclusive deal expires"! So we spend just over $80 between the both of us. The VERY next day in October, they conveniently have a BRAND NEW deal that's $10/month, $5 startup, $34 annual. So I'm thinking I can just call the company and maybe they'll honor my situation seeing as it's pretty recent. Nope! I just get the usual apology bullshit and say I could even start a new contract that supersedes my current one to get more bang for my buck. Planet Fitness; you're telling me that you CANNOT honor a contract I made with you guys just over 48hrs ago but you can make a brand new one to nullify this one? What? That is some top-tier petty way to do business. I'll chalk this up to experience with a shitty company and workout elsewhere.

I tried various yoga, barre, and pilates' studios around the area and Releve is still where I choose to go! Releve offers a variety of barre and ballet 1-hr group classes, held in the AM/PM Monday - Friday and Sat AM class. All of these classes will give you a whole body workout, incorporate stretches in between sets, so you will leave feeling incredible. You will experience leaner muscles (not bulky), more flexibility, and great community support from the ladies you're in class with. I really value instructors that literally works out with you and motivates you to push yourself in each class. If you want to find a studio that treats you right and still get an amazing workout, try out a class with Releve!

I have been taking Bar Method in Chicago for the last two months and became INSTANTLY hooked - the…read morefeeling I had when I left my first class was indescribable, and I started noticing changes in my body almost immediately. When I found out I would be traveling to Michigan for Thanksgiving, I knew I had to find a class in the area to satisfy my 'barre addiction.' I am so glad I found Relevé! Relevé is a barre fitness studio located right off Woodward in Birmingham. It's small so the classes feel more intimate and you have better visibility from the instructors. There is also a lot of parking available, so it's easy to just pop in and start the class (as opposed to a huge commercial studio/gym in which you have to park far away, go through locker rooms, etc.). I attended three classes when I was in town - one with Donna (cardio) and two with Beth (basic and cardio). They are both WONDERFUL instructors (with beautiful ballet bodies, so you know this class works!) and gave me very challenging workouts. They were both patient, knowledgeable and able to describe the different moves and benefits as we transitioned from section to section. I instantly felt the 'burn' and lots of good shaking in my muscles during each of our sets. If you are unfamiliar with barre, I highly encourage you to check out barre and this studio. You don't have to be an expert ballerina to do well- you just have to have a positive mental attitude and a willingness to work hard. You will notice changes in your body immediately! I only wish I could stay in Birmingham to take more classes at this studio. The next time I am in town, I will definitely be back! Thanks, Donna and Beth, for the great workouts!

We were looking for a place to ride horses near Tiffin, OH (where the girlfriend is from) and we…read morehappened upon the Triple T Bed and Breakfast, which is closer to Findlay, OH. It's about 2.5 hours from Cleveland and would probably be a decent stopover if you're spending a day or two at Cedar Point. To be honest, it's out in the middle of nowhere; but that's also part of its charm. We got out there the Saturday before Labor Day. Matt Theis, one of the owners was out giving a carriage ride to a bride and groom that had just gotten married. We were more than happy to wait out by the beautiful pool until he got back. We also got a chance to walk out towards the stable. They had 4 beautiful and friendly horses, just waiting to be ridden. We said our hellos and looked around and decided to dip our feet. After a few minutes we were greeted by one of the Theis's daughters, who gave us a nice tour around the place. We also found out that we would be the only guests for the night in the main house! We're not anti-social, but it is nice to have the whole place to yourself. We also found out that the reason we had the place to ourselves is that the B&B had only opened in August of last year. Needless to say, they are on the right track. Later that night, after our own charming ride in a pony cart behind a feller named Chester, we decided to head into the county fair (another reason we were out in the country for the weekend). It was the smaller variety of county fair, but with all the usual varieties of mullets, corn dogs and tractor pulls. Ah, always a good time. We retired that night, full of cotton candy and candy apples, to our really nicely decorated and cozy room. Each bedroom at the B&B has it's own bathroom (something that not all B&Bs have), and it was recently redone with some very nice furnishings and hardware. The bed was a comfortable queen size with some pretty quilts. The satellite TV and free wireless internet satisfied the geek in me that usually is hurting to find an outlet out in the country :). The next morning, we woke up and had breakfast at the pre-determined time. The Theis' were up and ready with some delicious fare. I believe their signature breakfast item is the apple fritter french toast. Wow. As Matt said, try it before you put syrup on it, because it really didn't need anything else. Round that out with some hearty bacon, eggs, toast, fresh peaches and black coffee...well, it doesn't get better than that. After breakfast we had also arranged for a trail ride on some of the horses they keep on the farm. Matt saddled the horses in the barn out by the guest house (also available as lodging) and I took "Sonny" and the gf took "Indy" out for a jaunt. They have about a mile or two of trails throughout their woods and Matt took us riding through them. It was pretty calm the whole way, but the thing that sets the Triple T apart from other trail rides, is they allowed us to ride around in the pasture. Sonny wasn't liking the idea of getting above a slow walk, but Indy got up there. Matt even let me switch to his horse and "Cherokee" flew as soon as I sat down in the saddle. That'll hurt tomorrow. All in all, it was a great day/night. The proprietors couldn't have been nicer, the surroundings were beautiful and secluded and the price was right. We got a "fair" special of 75 per night and paid the usual 25 each for the trail ride. However, if we had been in just about any hotel, it would have likely cost the same, being a holiday weekend (and wouldn't have included a trail ride). I would highly suggest you get out to the country for a weekend and try out the Triple T B&B!
