And despite being up since 9 AM (which is early for me on a weekend, k?), I actually want to workout right now at my new gym: Los Campeones. *Note: I don't really drink energy drinks, and I'm pretty sure -- since I'm so hype on caffeine -- my typing could annihilate the world record. I'm. So. Not. Sleepy. #editingthisreviewisabitdifficult Before I get into Los Campeones, for reference, below are the different types of gyms I've worked out at in my lifetime: A) THE NO-NONESE GYM: With tons of free weights and machines, people visit there to get their swole-on and give hella stink-eye to peeps that mess around doin' nothin'. (Make sure your playlist is on point, playa! Ain't no time for that!) It's usually owned by someone older, yet hella strong. B) CORPORATE GYM: Both Lifetime Fitness and LA Fitness fall under this umbrella. Sure, the degrees of fancy vary, but these types of gyms usually offer classes of some sort. Overall, their membership prices are significantly more expensive. C) CROSSFIT GYM: Can be pretentious and cultish. Classes occur only at certain times and the monthly price may cause you to reconsider splurging while buying groceries. (But price may not matter, since you'll likely be eating paleo anyway.) Benefits: Short time and high intensity workouts do increase overall fitness -- and your booty will be more "apple-bottom" like; however, chances for injury may increase. D) YOGA CHAIN: I was the sweaty guy doing the "tree pose" in the back and falling everywhere. (BTW, there's usually that one person who farts and ruins it for errone.) Los Campeones falls under Category A, and it's the type of gym I prefer. At first glance, it might resemble a Snap Fitness. You know, a place that has plenty of treadmills, climbers, barbells, benches, racks, and free weights aka the bare necessities. But what separates this place from others is their basement. It's covered in fake grass and ideal for specialized high-interval workouts, swinging kettle bells, and other activities that usually require more room. I love it. People go there to workout. Ish is serious, ya'll. Aside from the gym itself, I love their low prices: -$45/ month (automatically deducts from your account). -$55/ month (opting not to use auto-pay). - $65/ month (for couples). Some other costs exist, such as the yearly maintenance fee (which is over $50, I think). Regarding the parking situation, it's kind of difficult. This Los Campeones location resides on one-ways, and their tiny lot fills up during peak hours. I suggest parking on Blaisdell Avenue or 28th on the left (north) side.

I've been going to CrossFit Woodbury for a little over a month now. I have trained at chain gyms,…read moremartial arts studios, and experimented with purchasing home equipment in the past. I haven't ever experienced the sense of community or had instructors as knowledgeable anywhere else. The gym has enough space, the equipment is not only sound, but also there is enough of it, and the support group of people that train here including the coach, Matt, and his team really make it easy to get myself to the gym after work! I have yet to experience a place like this that actually makes me feel like they care about my goals, wellbeing, and overall satisfaction with the training I am receiving. I feel as though I am not just another person to make money off of. I would hands down recommend this gym to anyone looking to lose weight, get stronger, train for a specific sport, or make the transition from traditional weight lifting to CrossFit. This is the place to do it!

And when you ask if that is going to happen before you make any changes, they hide the fact that will happen. And when you inquire about that afterwards, they don't care that your price as increase.

Staff is always friendly and helpful. Parents night out haas been awesome. Our kids love the pool and rock climbing walls, as well as the basketball court and turf. The gym is always clean and there is plenty of equipment. This place is a life saver in the winter when it's too cold to get out but our boys need to burn energy. The cafe is on the spendy side, so we don't eat there very often, but we all like the smoothies. The classes I've taken have been excellent. Child care is very good. It's nice that when I travel, I can use other lifetime facilities. For our family, lifetime has been a great investment!

Had a great time at this locally-owned small business!…read more Once I found it (look for a glowing blue barbell sign in the ground-floor windows, then go down the stairs) I entered a bright and cheerful space, full of nice equipment, racks, weights and friendly people. Coach Alex let me drop into one of the weekday evening group classes (thank you!), and I was immediately welcomed by the class regulars. I loved the inclusive space, great music and good vibes. The group class started with some mobility, then 5 minutes of abs, then several supersets of strength and cardio-based work, followed by a finisher. Absolute Strength does primarily personal and semi-private training, but that they offer several group classes in addition is wonderful. If you sign up for a personal training package, you can also pay a little extra to get access to open gym. I wasn't looking for just personal training and wanted something open every day of the week, (plus it was a little pricy for me), but I would definitely recommend this gym!

After taking 6 years off from belonging to a gym, my daughter suggested we give Mi5 Fitness a try…read more So my husband and I joined and have not regretted it at all. The workouts are great, and modifiable since we are more than a bit out of shape. There is a lot of variety to the workouts and exercises that keep things challenging and interesting. I really enjoy the app they have as it gives you so much information, even what the workout will be for each class. The people are great, both coaches and members. They offer more than CrossFit classes so don't hesitate to give this gym a try.

After 1 year of hearing about how great Mi5 was from a friend, we decided we finally had to give it…read morea shot! We were a little nervous after hearing mixed reviews for the last few years about Crossfit -- some people think it's dangerous and others think it's the best thing ever! I can see how, based on what gym you go to, your idea may lean closer to one versus the other. Mi5 started us off with a 1 week free trial where we sampled several different classes! Endurance, Barbell Club, FIT, and Strength and Sweat! All of them with a very different purpose & stimulus. As an individual who needs to modify quite a few movements, I have ALWAYS felt like I had a place at Mi5 and never was looked at differently because I changed a movement or needed to do something a bit differently or with a lighter weight. Additionally, the coaches are PHENOMINAL! They help you to come up with modifications for a workout if you are injured, have not progressed to that movement yet, or just don't feel comfortable doing it! Even when I'm attending for Open Gym, if there's a coach around & I have a question about a movement, they are always willing to take the time to have a conversation about that specific movement, general gym goals, or just to hang out and chat! We're extremely glad we joined and are very grateful for this community!

Perfect little gym situated adjacent to the Basilica! While it only covers one floor it packs in…read moreeverything you need and more. It comes with multiple cardio equipment, free weights, squat racks, stretching area, boxing equipment, and tires and hammers. In short, it stands out from other area gyms despite its size.

Let's Workout! I…read morewas ready to try a new workout recommended by one of my besties Anna. She absolutely loves the workout so I joined her for a Sunday morning workout through class pass. Skylar was the instructor and was friendly and motivating. All new members to Flight must show up 10 minutes early (that's mandatory). Skylar showed the newbies in those 10 minutes how the class runs and the additional tools at the floor stations. They have a wedge for squats, a hoverboard for lunges, etc. The first half you start class on either the floor or the stairmaster. I was impressed that there are movements on the stairmaster other than just stepping up like squats (in and out), side steps with a stretch, etc. You get the hang of it pretty quickly. On the floor, Skylar demonstrates the exercises at the beginning of class so pay attention cause the exercises are written on a dry erase board but you might forget how it's supposed to look. She's always willing to come over though during class. They have a lovely lobby and locker area to store your stuff including combination locks. Everything is new and clean, They also want you to have clean shoes while in the gym. The music was great and motivating and the class went by fast! Another couple of helpful tips...they provide towels and cleaning wipes for class. They do not have a drinking fountain or refill station so make sure to bring lots of water.
