My first class was lower body with Kristine and my second was upper body with Elliot. Both instructors went through each movement and gave fantastic explanations. Both instructors made sure to walk around the room, motiving all of their guests. SOTA fitness was clean, a lot of parking, and had lots of different equipment. Looking forward to coming back next time I visit MN!

SOTA Fitness is an incredible gym with amazing trainers and a wonderful atmosphere. Most of my…read moresessions have been with Sean Tumilson and he is FANTASTIC! The trainers track each person's progress and devise a set of exercises for each session that help you to achieve your goals in a safe and effective way. Sean ensures that I am using the correct posture when executing an exercise and, because of his expertise, I am stronger and more confident when working out with him or on my own. The owner, Phil Schrupp, makes sure each client is on track to achieve their individual goals and comes up with fun ways to everyone motivated. If you are looking for a gym, look no further because SOTA Fitness is the best!

Is going to a 'big box gym' and walking on a treadmill while playing Candy Crush getting old?…read more Looking to mix it up a little? Just want to work hard? Then My House Fitness is for you! First lets talk about parking - I am a parking snob, I need free parking (preferably a private lot) to go back to a place over and over again. MHF has a shared lot behind them and free street parking for several blocks around them. I have never had to park far away, hooray! I have had a couple sessions now, one with Lonn and one with Evie. Lonn is very good at making sure you are doing everything correctly, which is one thing I am so unsure of all the time, and you don't want to hurt yourself. He really kept you moving but also noticed when you needed a little break and gave you a minute to recoup, if necessary. My fat butt needed a lot of breaks. Evie does such a great job of keeping you motivated with her variety of activities and always upbeat fun attitude. She is a hoot and still makes sure you are doing everything right. I like that she helps you with modifying the exercise if you need it, too. They both do such a great job keeping you on track and not getting complacent or bored with what you are doing. I never knew how to do some of the exercises, so I also feel like I am learning while having fun. As a side note, I burned around 600 calories for a one hour session. Clearly this will be different for everyone, but it gives you a good starting point. Sore for days, hurts so good.

I have been training with Lenora for a couple of months now and feel like the luckiest person in…read morethe world to have found her. I did a ton of research when l started looking for a personal trainer and interviewed several trainers in person. While they were all great in their own right, Lenora stood out among the rest. She has a solid education backing her training up and truly approaches it in a holistic way, which was exactly what I was looking for. So far she has helped me greatly! We are working through some postural issues I have and she is really great during every session making sure we are doing the right exercises to help strengthen and balance my body and changing something if it isn't working. Lenora really knows her stuff. She also helps me out nutritionally and is very educated in this as well. She makes workouts fun, but also kicks your a$$. She is very good at helping you learn to push yourself and cheering you on the whole way. She finds out what really motivates you and utilizes that in your sessions. She's firm, yet gentle and nurturing at the same time. Basically, she is amazing. She is changing my body, mind and spirit....my whole life! I will be continuing to work with her for a while. She is also guiding me through training for a 1/2 marathon. I have never been a runner, but with her help, I am becoming one...at age 34! I have also lost weight, toned up, gained confidence, etc. I HIGHLY recommend Lenora of Holistic Personal Training. You will not be sorry!

She has helped me achieve those goals and MUCH MORE. She used her training as a therapist to guide me through a time when I was in a toxic unsafe work environment and trying to keep depression at bay. She used her body understanding to help me get my body structurally aligned. She used her training in nutrition to assess my specific needs and advise me. I could text her a nutrition question and know her answers were based on the latest research! On top of all her technical skills, she is one of the kindest, high integrity people I know. Anyone would benefit from working with and knowing Lenora. Although she has moved across the country, I still have a weekly check in with Lenora that helps me to keep on track. Her advice is always spot on!

Parking is easy, which already sets it apart from most places in the area. The equipment is well-maintained, with plenty of machines and free weights so you're not waiting around. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help without being pushy. The locker rooms are spotless, with good showers and enough space, which makes getting in and out smooth. What I really appreciate is how family-friendly the whole place is. The kids' areas, classes, and pool setup make it a great option if you're trying to balance fitness and family time. It's hard to find a gym that truly gets both right -- but this one does. Overall, this YMCA is consistently reliable, clean, and well-run. Whether you're working out, taking classes, or bringing the kids, it's one of the best community gyms in the area. Highly recommend.
