Wonderful place to do some yoga and unwind…read more Originally from California, I'm only here in Toledo for two months and wanted to check out the yoga/gym scene downtown. I had first called It's Yoga in Toledo, but their schedule online doesn't match up with what they actually offer (as in, they weren't holding the noon class I was looking to attend)... so I popped by Marci's instead. Even though I was the only one there, Shay graciously held the class (she said lunchtime is always hit or miss with how many people show up - plus it's winter, I don't blame anyone). We went through a lot of movements that I've actually never done before and would love to incorporate into my daily stretching. All in all, Shay was wonderful, and I'd definitely come back again!

Q: How can you tell when you meet a CrossFitter? A:…read moreIMMEDIATELY they tell you so. So I'm not sure if that's true, but I will admit that if you do CrossFit, you're always thinking about CrossFit because some muscle group(s) is/are always sore. And if you're thinking about it, you're probably talking about it... CrossFit Toledo is an excellent training facility with excellent instructors. This place is big and clean and equipped with everything you need to learn the craft safely and effectively. Not only can you learn CrossFit here, you can learn to excel at it. If you're motivated, and you listen to the coaches, you can get a kickass workout in this place no matter your CrossFit experience level or fitness level. Warning: Even if you think you're in shape, CrossFit Toledo will expose your weaknesses. Be prepared to deal with this. Again, listen to your coaches, work hard, and you WILL get better. If you're a newbie, you don't have to worry about biting off more than you can chew. Check your ego at the door, learn how to "scale" (that is, learn how to cheat a little while learning the movements and still get an appropriate workout). Also, every new member goes through a couple of "skills" classes where you get, essentially, one-on-one instructions regarding the basic lifts and movements. Workouts; There are 5 classes per day (0600, 1200, 1600, 1700, and 1815), and class size is limited to 12 people. Every class is different. I repeat, every class is different. But, each class is similar in that they all consist of a warmup, a strength phase, and a conditioning phase. There's also a "homebody" option. Even if you have equipment at home, half the benefit of this place is the coaching and the camaraderie. ALSO, there are multiple open-gym sessions through the week. Camaraderie: It's definitely there; this seems like a great group of people. One guy acknowledges that some people call it "CultFit." But hey, can you name ANY fitness pursuit isn't "culty?" Bodybuilding? Culty for the past 80 years. Running? Not as culty as it was, but still very culty. Yoga? Yep, laid back and totally culty. Don't worry about it. You can do CrossFit and still be friends with a person who doesn't...but only one. 5 stars!

This is my second home gym having moved from Washington State in 2021. I visited other Crossfit…read moregyms in Toledo and this one fit my criteria: diverse age range, race, gender, body types, and also a range of experience from beginning to elite performers. The gym space is comfortable and feels more like a family run business than a chain business which I truly appreciate. Love the coaching staff with good Crossfit and Olympic lifting experience. The culture of the gym is very friendly and feels very accepting to outsiders, including myself as seemingly the only gay Crossfitter in Toledo. I definitely give all my thumbs up to CFT. Also, very kid and dog friendly, which is great.

I have never felt a need to use a lock, always trusting the membership! I have had one disagreement with management...but I was wrong! Literally, so I have simply changed my former understanding! Agreed, the club is "older", but always clean! Membership is always cordial and professional! I have lived in Sylvania Township for 41 years and been a member of 4 different clubs...Not one of the 4 was better than or equal to SJC.

Run and staffed by some of the most…read moreamazingly genuine and sincere people I've ever met, they're also incredibly well-educated on what they teach, both professional and personal in their instruction as the situation warrants, and deeply connected to their community. They offer a massive variety of classes to accommodate any and all ages, and cater especially to those in law enforcement and military service, a sentiment that hits home for me. It is a warm and welcoming environment that anyone will feel completely at home in. All ages, all builds, from all walks of life come through those doors, and the support and encouragement are just astounding.

Julie is amazing, and she comes to my home for our training sessions! (This is very important on…read morethose days that I want to talk myself out of a workout and she shows up at my door ready to go.) Thanks to her, I'm half the woman I once was a few months ago (see profile photo for "before" photo- I'm a size 6 (!) now). Not only is she really supportive and nurturing in her approach to personal training, but she also has a Masters degree in Body Physiology which makes her very knowledgable in how to safely train her clients (again, important because I had to learn how to exercise in a way that maximizes my ability and minimizes stress). She has worked as a personal trainer for a number of years through hospitals and has only as recently as this past Spring begun an independent practice and taking on clients. Her pricing is extremely reasonable for the breadth and depth of her knowledge and experience. Not only does help you reach your own fitness goals, but she also helps with diet and other considerations necessary to achieve a healthy lifestyle. I feel stronger and healthier than I ever have, and I'm even planning on running in a race this fall! With Julie, I got much more than just a personal trainer, I feel as though I have a lifestyle coach providing one-on-one, customized sessions. I no longer feel this was a "Personal Indulgence," but an "Invaluable Investment" in my overall well-being. Give her a try and you will not regret it!

I love working out with Julie - she is fantastic! I started working out once a week with her in…read moreMarch and have since lost 45 pounds and begun to enjoy incorporating regular exercise into my daily routine. In addition to our workouts, Julie has given me advice on nutrition and helped me create and achieve fitness goals. She also has helped me create weekly exercise and meal plans to keep me on track with my weight loss. She is truly an expert and tailors each workout to my individual needs. She has kept me motivated to make changes in my habits and to implement a healthier lifestyle, but is understanding when slip-ups happen and helps me get back on track! I hadn't really considered working out with a trainer before because the costs seemed prohibitive, but with Julie I don't have to maintain an additional gym membership. The exercises she has taught me and the workouts we do can be completed with minimal equipment in my own apartment. I can't recommend Personal Indulgence Fitness highly enough. Julie provides the expert knowledge and personalized service that can help you achieve success!

I strongly (no pun intended) recommend checking this place out - regardless of your age, size,…read morephysical limitations, or level of motivation. They will work with you around any of that. Fitness is NOT a "one size fits all" as the chain gyms and workout facilities want you to think. These trainers know their stuff because the human body is a SCIENCE - they do not just stick you on a treadmill or run around behind you counting crunches and arm curls. Aside from the physical benefits that will IMMEDIATELY begin to improve, PF also offers nutritional advice, updates on the latest techniques, and emotional support with a sense of community. You get a LOT more out of coming here than just a good workout. Believe me or not, you'll leave feeling so much better about yourself!

Always being on top of the fitness industry, it is no surprise that Positively Fit has incorporated…read morePower Plates into their individualized and group programing. The Power Plates are an amazing new technology that when used correctly under the supervision of awesome fitness professionals Maryellen, Kim or Lisa, create a very powerful, pulsating vibration. Any exercise you do on the Power Plate is magnified up to 50 times! It triggers the reflex muscles in your legs, abdomen, core and anywhere else that is targeted, up to 50 times per second. The vibrations strengthen and tone muscles, target fat, release cortisol and help reduce cellulite. It doesn't get any better than that! You can get a complete workout in half the time. Talk about a time saver! The rejuvenation class for high stress individuals is the one I have started. There are therapeutic results that have taken place after just two sessions on the Power Plate. I feel completely relaxed and lighter after a session, like a weight has been lifted. This no doubt is the release of cortisol that my body is craving. The benefits to my chronic lower back have been beneficial. I feel relief of stiffness and have better mobility. The relaxation from the Power Plate puts you in "parasympathetic mode" as the fitness professionals at Positively Fit often refer to. This is what we want and strive for to reduce stress and belly fat! I am looking forward to experiencing the accumulative effects and reaping the benefits of the Power Plate in the future. Thank you Positively Fit! Carol McCarthy
