Definitely recommend.

I live in the third ward and am able to easily walk here everyday. The 5fh floor weight room has all of the necessary equipment, and the 2nd floor turf area is a great place to stretch, warm up, only do dynamic exercises. The locker rooms could use some updating, but I'm not picky, so this gym has been great. Also, everyone is super nice here. The East Bank community seems to be tight knit and always have activities to take part in!

It's not a bad gym for the money but you do get a mix of shall I say different backgrounds in here…read moreand sometimes those different backgrounds think it's appropriate to play loud music out loud on their phones and then wear shoes in the sauna (both of which are expressly forbidden according to a sign literally posted inside the sauna), and then act like YOU'RE the assh*le when you politely but firmly ask them not to. One individual was snarky af asking about how much I spent on earbuds that didn't noise cancel and I was about ready to tell him that earbuds cost like $15 at Walgreens so why don't you have some but I'm not trying to fight in the sauna, I'm trying to relax. This isn't a I'm-in-your-neighborhood or you're-in-my-neighborhood kind of thing, this is a mixed space, a common ground, and we ALL need to recognize that and act right. The rules are the rules. Don't play loud music on your phone in the sauna. I don't know HOW this establishment is going to enforce those rules, but they NEED to enforce those rules. Inconsiderate people CAN NOT just keep being allowed to be inconsiderate in mixed spaces. I'm sorry. That needs to end.

Looking for a new gym is a real pain, there are so many choices and it's not an easy decision to make. CoMotion is unlike any gym I've ever been to, in a good way. When I first started working out I was looking for more flexibility as one of my primary goals. CoMo fits the bill for this - their group workouts have many standards like push-ups but they utilize "natural movements" and pepper in circuits with jumping, lifting, throwing and catching. The workouts are not easy - there is a dynamic warmup, then you do some circuits, with some stretching at the end, totalling around 60 minutes. My heart rate monitor shows that I'm putting out more effort and burning more calories than the "regular" group fitness classes I've been doing for years so that's way cool too. Their classes are scheduled at convenient times and the staff is super helpful. They offer a free 7-day trial so that made it super easy to try out before committing to extended visits. If it doesn't suck, it's not worth doing.

I used a complimentary day pass to workout out the downtown WAC. I had a YMCA membership but have…read morealways been curious about the WAC and how if might differ/be better, etc. My initial impression was, I'm in a gym on a college campus. It was busy when I went (5:30pm on a Monday) which made getting a leg or arm circuit done on the weight machines a bit tricky. Now, if you wanted to use an elliptical or other cardio equipment those machines were mostly open. Some things I absolutely loved about this WAC location: The indoor track inside (9 laps = one mile). In the winter, it's like you're walking in a snow globe. There are huge floor to ceiling windows that offer great city views. The staff! Very warm, helpful, patient and kind. The steam room and sauna in the locker rooms. Keys to lockers are provided as well as towels and there's shaving cream in the locker room showers. Free parking so long as you download the parking app used here and scan the QR code before leaving the gym (parking is free for up to 3 hours). Olympic size/caliber weight room on the second floor (this gym is only two floors and does not have a gym). After my one day workout sesh, will I be back? If I lived downtown on the east side of the city then yes I would hop on the WAC train and member up. But being a 15 minute drive from downtown, and not always in the mood to workout after work I don't think I will be calling this gym "mine" any time soon. Regardless, it was a lot of fun to try this location out and to see the nice amenities the WAC has to offer downtown.

This is the main WAC I go to...I've gone over the years quite a few times here, but over summer I…read morestarted going in the morning and have been really glad its become part of my routine. While one of the smaller WACs, it has lovely views of the city from its location on the 6th floor of the 411 building. Theres an indoor track that runs along the outside of the gym, and a second floor (the 5th) has more weight training areas and another group exercise studio. They do a lot of classes if you're into that sort of thing, and while the equipment isn't super fancy it gets the job done and there isn't usually too long of a weight fot anything. The great thing about the WAC is I consider it a "full service" type of club with free lockers, towels, coffee, very nice showers and other services (for a fee ) like PT and massage. The WAC is more expensive than a planet fitness but you definitely get what you pay for here No pool sadly at this site but there is a steam room (and maybe a sauna?) In the locker room. Nice friendly environment to work out in - 5 stars!

This is a very nice Planet Fitness in a convenient downtown location by the river. The equipment is…read moreall very new and clean and they're open 24/5, being closed at night on the weekends. For $15 a month that's really great, IF you can walk to it or take the bus. It's not crowded if you go early in the morning before work or late at night, but after work on the weekdays can get a little crazy. They could probably use some more free weights, and I would love to see a bench machine or two or even just a good old fashioned bench press. They have those squat machines you can rig to do bench presses but it's a pain to get it situated just right. Just get some dedicated bench machines. Otherwise, everything is very clean, they've got showers, a little spa area for the Black Card members, and the location's pretty cool. A good reason to get up super early and fit in a workout before work.

I like how the exercises can be personalized to one's own fitness and intensity levels and we can usually go at our own pace while going through different stations. We sometimes would get paired with someone - I guess so if we had a questions, we could ask them? Sometimes I would lose my partner if my pace was too slow or if I went to another area looking for the right weight to lift for the given exercise, but other than that, everything was fine. The bathrooms were clean, cubbies were available to store our jackets and personal belongings (no locks because no one steals here - I'm not entirely used to this since I am from the hood but I suppose with the membership fees, people have higher income brackets so no one is going to steal petty things. Overall, this gym has a great formula - good app for tracking workouts, help desk with support staff, child care area, motivational walk of fitness testimonials, and positive quotes on the walls of the gym. It is a great gym although the price is on the higher end for me. I will advise gym attendees to be careful with proper form and using the best dumbbell weight for each exercise to avoid injury. My month has ended and I will consider joining this gym in the future. Finally, I always look at the fitness level of the instructor for different programs and classes and the fitness levels amor these instructors are great so I definitely looked to them for inspiration and workout directions.

I had seen some of my friends posting videos of their workouts on their Instagram stories, so I had an idea of what to expect, and it encouraged me to finally try one out. (They do come and take videos during each workout to post online, so if this is something you would not be okay with...don't go.) There are people of all ages and fitness levels, but mostly women and they do have child watch services during your work out. I was also lucky to come during a cheap first month promotion, so I took advantage of that before signing up for an actual membership. The instructors are well trained and they come around and try to help correct technique as much as possible, but the class sizes are fairly large and the workouts are pretty fast paced, so it may not be a great gym for true beginners who do not have an idea of what proper form should be on a variety of exercises. It is an encouraging atmosphere, almost too many high fives if you ask me, but I take the good with the bad. I do enjoy the music, programming, variety of workouts, equipment available, and overall welcoming and motivational vibes.
