Her instructions are simply amazing. This is a smooth running operation that provides a top notch service and I love referring people because I know they will be as happy as I have been with the experience. I like to refer my clients (I have owned a personal training company for 20 years), because there are certain elements of health and fitness that are beyond my scope and the Pilates and Yoga piece are a great compliment to my services. Thanks and keep up the good work!!

Balance is the best. I have yet to have an instructor who isn't amazing, it's clean, and the…read moreparking is free. I take Pilates, yoga (Iyengar) and Pilates Total Fitness (a brutal...brutally awesome!) hybrid class. The yoga classes are great. Each instructor takes the time to correct, and the focus is less on speed and more on holding the pose. While each teacher's style varies (some focus on sequences, others don't) I always walk away feeling that light headed, wobbly muscle yoga feeling. The Pilates practiced at Balance is "Power Pilates" which I've learned is a classic form. I've taken both reformer and mat, and both are great workouts. Last is Pilates Total Fitness. All I have to say is these classes, especially the one with Jane, will make you weep..but in a good way, I promise!

I just never did it. I hated sweating, I felt out of place and insecure at the gym. I never learned how to find a sport or exercise I enjoyed and so I just never did it. I had just accepted that I was not an "exercise" person. I don't remember the catalyst for reaching out to Amy at CenterPointe three years ago -- I think I had gained some weight and figured I would try moving my body. I started with some one-on-one sessions and eventually added some of the easier classes that CenterPointe offers. From the very beginning, Amy MET ME WHERE I WAS. She is warm and funny and caring. She taught me about MY body. About how my muscles work and how doing different stretches, lifts, exercises are supposed to feel in my body. She taught me where my hamstrings are. She taught me where the line of "too much" really is and how to listen to my body. The list goes on. And not-so-slowly over time, I got stronger. I LEARNED TO DEADLIFT. The lovely woman who *hated* exercise was DEADLIFTING, like what! I experimented and found the exercises I really enjoyed (dare I say LOVE) and that made my body feel better. I also refused to ever do a burpee and Amy never made me. In the past three years, I have taken breaks from working out and have also returned, and each time, Amy meets me where I am. My perspective about my body, my strength, and my power has all shifted over the past three years because of Amy and CenterPointe. If you are searching for a non-judgemental gym to help to discover your strength and learn about your body, I encourage you to try CenterPointe.

CenterPointe Raise the Bar classes were one of the best parts of my summer internship in DC. Amy,…read moreChris, Jeanie, and Andrew are wonderful coaches. They and my RtB classmates were super welcoming, supportive, and encouraging. Programming-wise, RtB is similar to CrossFit. Every workout starts with a warm-up that is related to the day's main workout. The main workout is usually a compound lift plus conditioning/accessory work, intense conditioning work, or some kind of running/sprinting. The coaches make sure to work with your level--what they ask you to do is adjusted for whether you have been doing heavy back squats for years or can't squat to parallel, whether you can do five unassisted pull-ups in a row or are working up to assisted pull-ups through inverted rows. They also happily work around whatever injury you may have, coming up with alternative exercises that avoid stressing the injury. And they keep track of your progressions on various exercises and recommend how much weight to lift/how deep to move, so you don't have to guess what you should be doing. They can do this because class sizes are capped at around 8 people. It's as much attention as you might want from a one-on-one personal trainer, but much, much more affordable if you work out frequently. In the three months that I had the pleasure of attending RtB, I did an unassisted pull-up for the first time in my life and vastly improved my form for both Olympic lifts (with which I had little prior experience) and powerlifting lifts (with which I had years of prior experience). I was having trouble progressing beyond intermediate strength standards because my form was off, and RtB has so noticeably improved my form that I look forward to seeing what I can do in the upcoming year. Whether you have little experience with exercise and don't know where to start, or have been exercising for a while but are feeling stuck, CenterPointe RtB has the individualized, attentive coaching and focus on form that you need!

Fit360 is a great model of a community gym -- the staff is friendly, the owner is a local, and fellow gym goers are courteous. I am someone who benefits from classes to help me push myself and I especially love their lift classes, which are typically small (under 10 people) and mixed gender, with varying levels for each station based on your fitness and expertise. Jonathan and Nino both do a great job as instructors helping with form and technique. This year I also added in some personal training with Kwame and it has been fantastic so far. So glad this gym is part of my community.

I do have the Gold membership and I think that it's a good fit for me since I rarely have ever participated in any type of gym class. They do offered the classes here, and I've seen a number of people leaving from a class. I appreciate that the gym is available for whenever I need it, and even more importantly that they're located so close to me.

And the people who go there are all really nice. It's where I got referrals for a salon, restaurants, etc. I'm so glad I found them and on top of all that, I can see my results! My body has definitely changed since being committed to F45. I worked out before moving here it was more of a smaller chain gym and although it felt good to be active there's levels to this!

I have seen clients there ranging in age from 20-ish to 80-ish and starting from different "base" fitness levels, and the fact they they all keep coming back says a lot. (My personal fitness level has increased dramatically since we started going to NuNeHe). The training style is "functional" - lots of kettle bells, bands, TRX, and two cable stations, and no "machines" save for a couple of treadmills. The prices are very reasonable and there are pretty good discounts for couples, small groups etc. Finally, it's just a great atmosphere, much more relaxing than going to a large gym. I obviously can't say enough good things....
