I rarely get the chance to take advantage of the classes (though I regularly attend tai chi classes on the martial arts side of the building), but the offerings are vast and my friends rave about them.

From my…read moreexperience with obstacle courses, this gym has EVERYTHING an athlete would need to use for the races. They also have some benches and kettlebells for their classes. As for the gym itself, it's one floor and the business' sign is tucked away. How I found it was to go across a small bridge and through a tunnel, then on your right you should see the sign near a dumpster. Presumably, you can park anywhere in that lot even though it's shared with lofts. If you also see a boxing gym sign, it's the same building, just the opposite entrance. Even though inside, they also have boxing equipment.

Men discreetly pleasuring themselves on the hot tub jets. Hot water in the showers comes and goes and one minute you're being scalded and the next you're being doused with cold water. Closes early. Parking lot nearly a quarter mile away. Too crowded. Otherwise, a great place with kind, knowledgeable staff, clean facilities and lots of programs and classes ... love the pool but not the stress of finding a lane or a time when it's not crammed with people.

I have held off on this review for a while. So this would refer to about a year ago but I don't…read morethink a lot has changed from the recent reviews I have read. I had a membership and was getting some individual training and paying for that. Then I got breast cancer and after my surgery and during radiation I requested to put my training and my membership on hold but told them I would return as soon as I could. I can't recall now but they have a policy of putting things on hold for only a limited amount of time and then it starts back up again - even with the letter from my surgeon and radiologist. So they were charging me while I was recovering from surgery, etc. For some strange reason - I had imagined they would be sympathetic and might want to partner with me in my recovery. But that would be a big no. They had zero sympathy and insisted that charging me was just their policy and that was that. I was super disappointed in them on many levels. I cancelled my membership and of course that was complicated as well. I spent money on many months of membership and personal training I could not use and showed very good reason for not being able to do so. Just sad - helping someone recover and get their strength and self esteem back after traumatic surgery ... well that would have been a nice review to write. Just wasn't going to happen here.

Some of my thoughts and opinions since trying out this gym. I went at around 6:30 pm friday which…read moreshould be somewhat busy. My first impression of the layout is that. Its extremely odd. As you come in theres a decent sized front desk area and waiting room. The layout of the gym is pretty open but its quite small for a gym in my opinion. You can see the entire gym from the front desk (besides a portion of the turf) which feels weird when youre working out. The most strange part is how someone thought it was a great idea to place the cardio section as the first are in the gym as u walk past the front desk. I dont know how many people feel comfortable with having everyone coming into the gym see you when youre most vulnerable lol. Theres also weird sectioned partition walls (about 3 ft) to cage this area in. I think they could of done away w this. The other main issue I have is how the gym smells like dirty socks/ mildew Other cons: - only 2 squat racks and 1 smith machine - limited cables - very dated bathrooms/lockers/gym - like i mean it looks like the tuscan italian 2000s kitchen aesthetic - didnt see any 2.5lb weight stack for the cables/machines (this couldve been hiding, but accessories should still be easily accessible) - overpriced for what it is. I think this gym is worth $20 a month w an max annual fee of $40. As of 1/14 the basic membership is $25/mo + $150 start up + $60 annual fee - womens sauna light wasnt working Pros: - somewhat new machines (but not well kept) - incremental dumbbells up to 30 lbs or something - gender saunas and in locker rooms ( the co ed communal saunas that r near the pools are never clean and nice) - nice and friendly front desk guy (younger 20s/teens - has a nice turf

I returned from a trip to California on the same day that Fitness Together announced the…read morepossibility of doing virtual workouts. This worked in my favor as I had intended to call and cancel my upcoming sessions as I felt it would not be responsible to continue coming into the studio after being on an airplane at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. We jumped at the chance to do virtual workouts. My husband, John, and I have a joint session with Joe twice a week. We already had 2 make-up sessions last week with Brianna and Lizzie (making up for those I missed while travelling). This morning was our first session with Joe via FaceTime. To get the blood pumping, before connecting with Joe, we did a warm up by walking up and down the stairs multiple times. Joe called us 5 minutes ahead of our session and we were ready to get going. While it is not the same as being in the studio, this is a great alternative to making sure that we maintain our fitness goals. I'm amazed at how much we were able to do with the limited resources we have at home! A sturdy chair, the wall, the floor - all are areas that can be used to achieve the workout that you need to stay fit and healthy. I can highly recommend this alternative during this time. It's great to still get our workout in, stay healthy, and be responsible. I am looking forward to being able to get back on the treadmill though, especially when the weather is not so great out. Thanks for offering this alternative. Stay safe and healthy and we'll see you again virtually for our next session.
