I'm stronger and more aware of my body in space. Exercises are challenging with stretches built in. All the teachers are great, but I often find myself in classes taught by Heather, Sophie, and Samantha. I would suggest Core to anyone wanting to try something new or deepen their relationship to their body.

Core is a small, very welcoming studio and can accomodate levels of practice from beginners to more advanced practice. I have been helped immeasurably to recover from more than one surgery. Personal limitations are taken into account and modifications are always available if needed. This is a very respectful atmosphere which helps to inspire continued participation.

I was a little concerned when I had a hard time finding early morning or late evening sessions to attend. Turns out I just needed to expand my search. Now that I've found the NE location it's going to be my home base for my fitness rediscovery. I am sore today just enough to remind me that I have these muscles and to regret my long departure from the gym but not severe enough to hinder daily activity or intimidate me away from going back. I am a fan!

This gym is honestly phenomenal. The best investment I have ever made in my health and fitness. For…read morecontext, I'm 54 and started this year pretty darn overweight. This is not your momma's or daddy's old-school gym. You don't walk in and start using equipment half-cocked: they only do 30 minute appointments, recommended twice a week, either 1:1 or in a small group (up to three clients together). You do ONE set with as many reps as you can until you can't do any more with perfect form, and then move on to the next exercise. Trust me, 30 minutes is plenty of time to get your @$$ kicked in the best possible way. I work primarily with Lawrence, but sometimes I don't book far enough ahead and he's unavailable (because he's in high demand) so I have worked out with Edwin, Chris, Luke, and Allie. All of them are deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my progress. They make the burn fun and worthwhile, and they are very clearly extremely educated and know their stuff, ALL of them. I've been going six months now very consistently, and I'm so pleased with my results. I'll do my first body composition assessment tomorrow (Bod Pod) and I'm very keen to see where I'm at. Do yourself a favor and take a free introductory workout: you'll be hooked. Hurts so good!!

They communicate well and will work with you on whatever you need. 180 has fabulous trainers who really get to know the class participants. They figure out what YOU need from them whether it is encouragement, pressure to push yourself harder or just simple instruction. They keep the workouts fresh and new so you don't ever get bored. The exercises are varied and include kettlebells, ropes, TRX, and a large variety of other tasks. The best part is the sense of community at the gym. The other participants as well as the trainers support each other and offer the best reinforcement you can get. If you miss a class, they welcome you back and you truly feel accepted. 180 Kettlebells is the only gym I have been able to stick with. I attend 3-4 times a week and truly miss it if I don't. I highly recommend giving it a try. Don't give up the first week because I can guarantee you will be sore! (in a good way)

They also allow trainers to rent space to host their own classes, and only charge the trainer a reasonable amount so the trainer is able to make a living doing what they do best, get results for people. I have not tried an official Balance program, but I have Morgan, one of the co-owners. I have no doubt she'd whip you in shape in a sincere, but no excuses way. It's an open space and is now a cross-fit site. I do kettlebells with Sarah of Real Fitness Solutions here. Like all group or small group training, it's about finding an instructor who you hit it off with. My partner and I happen to enjoy Sarah's approach- holistic, emphasis on good technique and proper form and openness to try new things out. Kettlebells has helped our running.

Cycling - It is challenging and fast paced but the instructors always show modifications for you to do what feels best. They have cycling shoes you can borrow for free in every class. Strength- I was initially so intimidated by the strength classes and did not know what to expect. I now go like twice a week to these classes and love to be able to see my progression each week. Once again, the instructors are so accommodating to injuries or things that just don't feel quite right. Sculpt / Yoga - These classes are so nice, it is a heated room, and it challenges my core and strength. There is plenty of street parking and other metered parking in the area for like $3/hour.
