After checking out many of the other local fitness centers I finally found Uptown Fitness. First…read morevisit was great. They showed me around, answered my questions and did not treat me like I was going to be a blight on their property because I was not 25 years old and in great shape. Truly, they are there to help you not make it a pick up spot. I requested a personal trainer and was lined up with one for the very next day at a time that I picked. I was asked a lot of questions by the trainer as to what I was looking for and she focused on those techniques to help me achieve my goals. It has wipes all over so you can clean the machines after you use them and it never smells bad. The staff is always smiling and seem to be in a good mood when I come in. I'm so happy I kept looking.

So after a Yelp Gets Physical and the ease of location, I decided City Surf Fitness was going to be…read morewhat got my "slingshots" (as my loving, eternal +1 calls my biceps) into some toned muscle and get back into living a more healthy lifestyle. My workout preference is one that doesn't feel like working out, i.e. volleyball, kayaking, dancing on pool tables. Those sort of things. So I'm not a yoga, pilates, "lets really think about this stretch" sort-of-exerciser. I'm also horrible at a gym membership 'cause no one is going to crack the whip on me to go there if it's not intentionally put on my schedule. I think City Surf is the perfect fit for me in this regard. I'm not an early bird, and they have classes that fit for my schedule at 8:30 am, and if I book, I'm committed to going. The two classes I really like are Beach Body Bootcamp* and City Surf*. IF you are a yoga type, or want to do more muscle-building, they have other courses and you can get a sneak peek of what they look like on their site if you want to set expectations. Each person in the class is assigned a surf board that is on top of three fitness balls. It's not as unbalanced as a real surfboard might be in the water but still takes a second to master some of the moves on top of the board. My balance was for shiz at first, but I can tell even from my last couple of classes, that it's improving. The classes are only 50 minutes long, and like their mantra says, it really is a no pressure environment. While you are in a class, it's really easy to focus on what you're doing and the instructor is there more so to guide you through the workout. There's no calling anyone out if you get winded (which I do), slow your pace, or need to adjust what you're doing. The music is great to workout to, and at the end you get a nice cooling towel placed on you face (I'm totally into it). You do need grippy socks (which they sell) for the boards, and I would suggest if you have sweaty palms (like this lady) maybe also get some grippy gloves so you can properly do the exercises. I like that I'm sore in places I never knew I could be sore, but not so sore that it's debilitating. If you think the classes are a little pricey they do have some great introductory rates, and they'll throw a deal out there every now and then. I am excited to work up to pea shooters from my current state of slingshots, and see where I can go from there! ;) Beach Body Bootcamp - Cardio based class designed to make you sweat and burn calories. City Surf - Their signature class featuring surf inspired movements utilizing surfer specific muscle groups.

I visited this OT (Orangetheory) location a few months ago while on vacation. I worked up a good…read moresweat and I got a nice, varied workout from Coach Will. The location is in a strip mall with decent parking. The facility is larger than the OT I frequent in my neighborhood. It's very spacious and there's plenty of room to spread out when doing the floor exercises. I accidentally went to the wrong OT when I had scheduled my session. When I called and told the staff I was going to be late, thankfully the staff at the Uptown location rescheduled me for the last class of the day without issue. Thanks a bunch OT Uptown for being so accommodating!

Will was my instructor and has got to be one of my favorite instructors ever. At first, I thought he was monotone and the class would feel monotonous but as the class went along, his energy pumped up. You could tell he understood the assignment and what OTF is about- 12 spat points minimum for the afterburn if that's what you showed up for and high/bright-orange energy. As someone taking OTF classes just for the occasional extra push to my workouts; I found myself wanting to go back to this studio daily afterwards.

Total transformation is possible. It's not from a magic pill, or a crash diet. It comes from…read moretenacity and a slowly-evolved mindset. It doesn't happen overnight. My journey began when I finally couldn't stand the arthritis pain in my knees that was keeping me from doing anything fun, sometimes even just getting off the couch. I'd fallen a couple of times and had no energy. By a pure miracle, I walked into Anytime Fitness Freret, and met Eric Capers, head trainer and owner of Pro Fitness Trainers. Eric is a physical therapist as well as a personal trainer, and I trusted that he had the knowledge I needed to make progress without injury, so I signed on. Little by little, learning every day, I got stronger, restored my balance, and was able to walk longer distances. Four years later, by consistent work, paying attention to food (not starving, not stuffing), I have lost 40 pounds, dropped my LDL cholesterol by 45 points, walked in three 5k events and the Crescent City Classic 10k (what????) and my doctor says I've added at least five years to my life. I'm 75 now, planning on lots more. If you've been thinking about it, putting it off, getting down on yourself, call Eric and get a free fitness assessment. You can't go wrong. Thanks for everything, Eric!

Eric was such an awesome trainer! I was definitely out of shape before I met him and he was really…read moregreat at keeping me motivated and always coming up with new, challenging workouts. He's friendly and doesn't yell at me like a bootcamp drill sergeant, but he also doesn't let me cheat or get away with anything other than my 100%. He does a free initial consultation where he sees where you're at and understands what you want to work on. I bought the 12-session package and I'm currently halfway through - we've been working out for 3 weeks so far and I've definitely been seeing some changes. I got a trainer because I wanted to maximize the efficiency of my workouts (instead of just doing 30 min on the elliptical by myself and wondering why I'm not seeing any changes) and it has definitely paid off. also, I LOVE the ease of scheduling appointments with him, it's all online and I'll get a text reminder sent to me a day before our scheduled workout. After the first couple of workouts I was so sore, but I can definitely tell that I'm getting stronger and more toned.
