I noticed this place when I used to pick up coffee at Starbucks and decided to check it out after grabbing an iced coffee at the recently opened Bold Bean. First time in I just wanted to get info & see what the details were to be a member. Finally bit the bullet and signed up for a monthly membership which comes with one complimentary training session per month. Booked my first training session for an early morning (on my birthday no less) because if I was going to train, I needed to force my butt out of bed. Telling myself I would do it after a long day at work wasn't going to happen. Met David when I showed up for my session and went through the initial 'getting to know you' stage. He gave me a nice total body workout to assess my strengths & abilities. While I know he wasn't pushing me to my max limit, my leg muscles would definitely beg to differ. Still got up the next day and drug myself in for a short run on the treadmill. Shannon - the owner - who I had signed up with earlier that week, stopped by to say hello. She was excited to see me back in and was checking in on how everything went the day before. I must have had a 'good' time because I continue to go back in to meet David at least once a week. It's definitely not my favorite time of the day, but I have to battle this yelp-bulge somehow.

If you can get past the owners bias towards her individual trainers she has on staff, you will find…read morea conglomerate type of trainer. Some trainers have higher education and years of experience while others have no degree in the related field. Other trainers have the education to back up their title but very little experience in the field. This is why it is so important to by pass the owner when selecting your trainer. Find one who is right for your short and long term goals, someone with a degree in the field, someone who has at least 3-5 years of practical experience and someone you relate to on a personal level. The biggest mistake a client can make is looking at their prospective trainers Instagram and noticing a move that is beyond most peoples realm and whilst enjoying their six pack abs and visioning yourself in them, take a step back and ask yourself, is this really what I need? Do your research fully and put your trainer in your own hands. Also, be careful how much money you put on your account because if your trainer leaves and you can't find one that is comparable, Focus will keep your money or force you to train with another trainer despite your reservations. My past experience with focus leaves me with Cracker Jack box training methods for most trainers. Leaving some clients bored and complacent. Training is movement art and science combined. Make sure your trainer has a pleather of tools in their tool box. Have witnessed most of the trainers in the habitat with very little creativity, energy and motivation.

Honestly, I'm writing this because I'm sad to see so many negative reviews. I've been coming here…read moresince it was Bailey's, and I'm so thankful Chuze bought it. The front desk staff is always welcoming, smiling, and genuinely enjoys talking with members. I also love all of the updates and am really glad I stuck it out through the renovations. The third floor and dedicated stretching space have been fantastic additions, and the new recovery area with the massage chairs (where the old kids' section used to be) is beautifully done. I really appreciate that Chuze is focusing on overall health and recovery, not just lifting weights. My only small suggestion is about the landmine attachment being moved into the Lift Lab. It would be great to have a second one available on the main floor as well. Other than that, I think Chuze has done an excellent job transforming the gym, and I'm excited to see what they continue to add.

I joined this gym due to location and having a speed bag. I was excited because it was the only gym…read moreto have one. A few months in the bag was taken away for " repairs " by someone they know. I questioned it multiple times over several weeks and even bought a pump for them. I asked employees on multiple occasions when it would be returned! No straight answers. I was being billed monthly for a gym I now wasn't using and a new speed bag could've been ordered immediately when I first complained for only $30. The gym went over 2 months without a speed bag and on my 4/5th complaint I said "why wouldn't you just get a new one " and they did. I asked to get credit for the 2 months or let me out of the contract and the response was simply " sorry ". Zero accountability and zero customer service. I asked to personally speak to the owner and she said she would. It's completely unacceptable; not to mention on several weekend occasions both toilets and bathrooms were disgusting. I can't believe how far customer service has fallen over 2 monthly payments of $25. This could've been an easy fix. The new updated ymca is around the corner and updated Chuze fitness with excellent rapport and customer service. Any business that would lose a client over $50 is not one I would ever recommend.
