The biggest red flag was when I went to the mens locker room. A guy was fully naked and masturbating... Yes, masturbating. He didn't stop when he saw me. I left. I want a place to workout, not a place for sex.

Staff is rude sometimes, bathrooms (at least the women's bathrooms) are never clean! Parking lots…read moreare always full, and too many transients outside - you'll most likely be worrying about your car the entire workout. Their open gym requires you pay for entrance for that day, but I've never been to an open gym where YOU HAVE TO BRING YOUR OWN BALL!!! ISNT THAT WHAT THE GYM IS SUPPOSED TO DO, PROVIDE THE BALL?! The saunas are always running and NEVER cleaned, the accumulated sweat from everyone that uses the sauna is what makes it smell so bad (definitely has to be what caused the mold that other time). Why can't they have another location further south like Graham or something?

My relationship with GRIT CITY FITNESS AND PERFORMANCE is a life changer…read more I have never felt like I was part of a fitness community before coming here. I have never felt like my effort was meet with results before coming here. I am 37 years old, and this year is the first time I've understood my body's needs and how to give it the best possible circumstances for health and wellness. I use Jeff's virtual Team Training, Serena's Superhero You and nutritional coaching. I'm forty weeks in to recording of nutrition and I don't ever want to stop habits, nor my relationship with Grit. The virtual training is more than just watching a workout. You can workout live with the coaches... and Jeff is ridiculously good and concise with remembering/recommending substitute movements for your limitations or injuries, and very resourceful with helping you utilize the objects you already have in your home. I have many many many public Facebook posts about this place if you're still on the fence about investing in yourself. Oh - and the generous outpouring of support and communication through several channels (fb,insta,email etc) is 24/7. They have really really found a way to personalize your health, while still keeping you part of the group.

Even though my goals have changed over this time period, they've been able to re-adjust accordingly and help set out what's needed to achieve and complete my end result. Very well educated and also informative. Don't hesitate to check this place out, these guys will take care of you in every aspect!

All of the instructors and staff at The Fit Lab 253 are absolutely phenomenal. I felt welcome from…read morethe first day I walked in. They offer classes are geared for all levels, with right amount of challenge. The cues are easy to follow and visual guidance is also available when needed. Honestly, being cued correctly and being corrected when I'm out of alignment or in the wrong position have kept me from injury. Reformer Pilates has changed my life, I love it! I took a few private lessons with Amanda as my intro to pilates. She and the lessons were so amazing, I've been hooked ever since. When I'm in town, I come to the studio fairly consistently and my body has been transformed, completely snatched. I feel my workouts all over, every atrophied muscle has been awakened. Every instructor does something "special" in their class, please try them all, you will not be disappointed. I highly, highly recommend coming here.

When is the YMCA going to be open on Sunday? Funny how the rates have gone up although there are…read morefour less days that you are able to use the YMCA. I don't think COVID has anything to do with being closed on Sunday, pretty sure it's being used as an excuse. Lots of members will be joining other facilities that are open on Sundays.

Updating my five star review with another five star review. My husband and I are both members at…read moreAscent now and it is hands down the best gym we have ever been to. The entire team here is incredible and the members are awesome as well. We have both done personal training (my trainer was Kam) here and learned a lot and we go to the Sunday class most often . Ascent is both welcoming and accommodating to folks of all identities and abilities and of all sizes. As someone with concerns about environments that can foster an environment where counting calories and weighing in are encouraged or emphasize is put on size, Ascent is the exact opposite. Ascent is a wonderful unicorn place where people can go just to learn how to better move their bodies and grow stronger and find victories that have nothing to do with size- like hiking longer distances, or having less back pain, or being able to lift more. They always offer alternative exercises to meet people where they're at which is super refreshing. They also host so many great events and series classes like queer inclusive self defense. We drive from a fair distance away because the community here is so much better and they have a mission you can't help but support. By far the best collective group of humans I've met since moving to Washington and that is such a testament to the owners Luca and Katie!

I've been attending Ascent Fitness since summer 2019 and I've loved every moment of it. The…read moretrainers are down-to-earth and supportive, the environment is friendly and encouraging, and the workouts kick my butt every time. The focus at this gym is functional fitness, so you do a variety of exercises each time you go--including crawling, get-ups, weights (and body weight exercises), lunges, etc. I also love that the trainers will give plenty of modifications as needed, as I'm limited in shoulder mobility due to an injury. Their main format is small group classes, but personal training and open gym hours are also available. Which works for me, became I'm way more accountable when I'm in a class anyway! I've gotten noticeably stronger since I first started, which has helped me not only in my work and at home, but with my self-confidence overall. Exercise really is the best self care. Thank you, Ascent Fitness!

Am I working this muscle group enough? Super studios makes sure you leave there definitely feeling like every muscle group has been worked! The classes are small, and the instructors are very nice!

So I walked past this place for a good three months before I finally decided to go in and see what…read moreit was. I danced for 15 years and so I knew that Barre stood for a ballet barre, so I assumed it had to be some type of exercise studio. All of the ladies that work here are super friendly. They have a lot of really great packages and programs. Student discounts, Corporate discounts (if you can get five people to sign up), and New Client Memberships. I decided to try it out and purchased a drop in class which was $18.00. Man! This is not for the faint of heart. I had to modify most of the exercises, and had to take multiple breaks the first couple of weeks. I have always been a pretty active person. I played basketball in college (DII NCAA), and danced. I had been doing CrossFit for 10 months, but had taken a break from it due to multiple surgeries. I also didn't like how bulky I got doing CrossFit or that my WOD only took 20 minutes, and I felt like I hadn't worked out long enough. Barre is completely different. It is very challenging! This is not some Zumba class at your local Y. It is a full hour of circuit style barre/yoga/pilates style exercises. You will get your cardio! Don't worry! You will not stop moving for an entire hour. I love that I get a full body workout and my cardio in an hour. The same workout would take 2 hours of weights and then a two mile run just to get the same feeling. As a mother, I don't have three hours a day to spend at the gym. Barre provides variety to avoid muscle memory, and every class is different. I have been taking all of the 12 o'clock classes during my lunch hour (with the exception of Tuesdays). There are different instructors on different days, but even if you get the same person leading the class the workout is ALWAYS different. I usually have class with Trish or Elizabeth's, and I have done one 4:30 class with Dena. Love all of their styles. They are great. Elizabeth and Trish give modifications and really guide you to challenge yourself, and not give up. I literally feel addicted. I am coming 5 times a week, and I can tell on the days when I don't go that I missed a workout. This isn't a fad workout program, and there are a bunch out there. It is hard work, but if you do it, you wil get the results you want and better! I knew the first time I walked into class and saw a small group of women that looked like dancers that I was in the right place. Not because I look like a dancer, but because I want to look like one! lol I already feel leaner and more flexible. Just try a drop in class, you will be hoooked! It is great, tons of fun, and you will be back.
