When I turned 50 I decided I needed to start exercising more. I clicked on a 6 week challenge that…read morecame across my FB feed. I then went in and met with Taylor. I signed up for the challenge to make sure I liked the gym and I would actually go. I'm not a gym guy. In fact, I hated the gym. It was always an intimidating place. I never knew what to do and had no idea if I was doing things right. So, with past memberships I'd do to the gym do a couple exercises then run on the treadmill then leave. Then after a month get bored and never go back. Creeds model is different. They have small classes up to about 8 people. I go the same time every day. I have met great people in my class/time-slot that I enjoy seeing every day. I'm an introvert so it's just enough socializing to feel like I'm part of a group. But not so much that I'm uncomfortable. Taylor programs us for the month. 3 days a week is strength and 2 for cardio. He or another trainer is there to make sure you have good form and provide motivation. I am a lot stronger and healthier now than when I started. Probably stronger than I have been in 20 years. Since joining I have had both my shoulders and my knee fixed. Taylor was able to work in exercises to help me recover and strengthen those areas. If you're trying to find a gym where you have a sense of belonging, get personal training/coaching to get healthy this is the place.

My favorite part about the training is that everyday we do something different in my opinion this breaks up the monotony. I can tell you that I've been to every gym in Chico and have never gotten as good of a workout as I did with Kathy Hankins (the owner of AB Fitness). If you're down to break a sweat and push yourself this is a great training facility.

The music was ridiculously loud. It was shaking the walls and giving me a headache. I asked twice…read moreif they could turn it down because I could not hear the trainers instructions over the music, but instead she gave me attitude and actually turned it up. What the heck? She is literally damaging her clients hearing. If they care so little about people's hearing how could they possibly care about the fitness. I walked away and I will not be back.

I started working out at Whole Body Fitness in June 2015, two months after having my daughter, and…read moreafter cleared by my doctor to exercise. At the time, I joined to get a little "me time" the only goal I had was to fit in my pre-pregnancy pants. I was able to hit my goal of fitting into my jeans after two months at Whole Body Fitness. Fast forward 9 months, I feel STRONG. I find that everyday is different and my energy level is constantly changing (just like the amount of sleep I get each night). As tired as I am, I still find time to make it into the gym and I always feel better after a good workout. If I am feeling exhausted from motherhood and life the trainers work with me to ensure I get a great workout no matter how my body is feeling.

Best kept secret in Chico…read more I really don't want to post this because I would love to keep it a secret, but the core is the best gym experience I've ever had and I want others to experience it. Don't wait, don't hum and haw, at least go try it out. Personal trainer-like experience Group-training accountability Focus on fundamentals first With the ability to grow, widen or specialize Versatile training styles from cardio and strength from body weight through bands, machines and free weights I really can't say enough. Steve and Zane and the rest of the trainers get to know you, your goals, how you work and figure out what to apply to make you successful and grow to your potential and beyond. And you know what, you miss a few days, no pressure, reset and get back at it. Need something extra, just ask. I also love the community they build around them with all the members, it's like "Cheers" but for a gym. Motivation, accountability, networking, connection to the broader community, sense of belonging....it's an unexpected benefit. Young and old, men and women, everyone's included and contributes. And for those looking for a pool, or tvs for endless cardio, I suggest you at least go try it. I think you'll find if anything it's complementary or where you'll migrate to. I initially missed my audio books and TV and Peloton but realized how much I was missing out on actually getting results.

I am absolutely loving the programming! They combine strength, cardio and mobility work. I love the variety of exercises so I never get bored. My body feels great and is improving all the time. I love how they're focused on the overall person. They care about injury prevention and accommodating your individual needs. It's truly been an enjoyable fitness experience. They have multiple different workouts to choose from so you can find the right challenge for your body. The coaches are friendly and engaged. I'm really enjoying the format of the workout. There is no official class start time. Your workout begins when you arrive. This has been critical to my success. I've always struggled with being there at the exact same time. In other gyms, I'd show up late and miss the warm up or the strength and get less of a workout. Here I get my full workout whenever I arrive. I also enjoy the community of this gym. Everyone who works out here is very welcoming and friendly. There are definitely those who show up at consistent times. And if you show up at the same time as someone else you get to workout together. The great thing about the natural staggering of people working out is you never seem to have to wait for equipment. Bonus, if you're a pickball player, sports athlete or have strength goals, they will program specific workouts to help you reach your goals. I highly recommend this place. Give it a couple weeks and you'll really see the difference.
