Leap Fitness is awesome!!! I am so glad I joined this past fall…read more It's got everything I want in a fitness center: The management and staff are exceptionally warm and friendly. They go out of their way to greet everyone by their first name when they come in the door. I got a quick, personable tour with zero hard sell at all so I joined on the spot. The cost is very reasonable. It's never jammed pack or too crowded and I always find a place to park. Plenty of treadmills and other new equipment to choose from. Both floors, and the restrooms, are well equipped, updated, and clean. It's full of normal people working out ... I like the vibe in general. There's an onsite physical therapist. When you add up all these factors it's probably why it's my favorite fitness center I've ever been to.

Very disappointed with how things were handled today at the Marblehead YMCA. All last summer and…read moreeven this past week, our kids were allowed to go down the slide without issue. Suddenly today (July 13 around 1:30 PM), we were told our daughter couldn't use the slide without passing a swim test -- something we were never informed about, and something that's not listed anywhere online. What's worse is that the rules seem to change depending on which lifeguard is working. When I asked for a full list of pool rules (just like I previously asked for slide/indoor pool hours), no one -- not the lifeguards or front desk staff -- could give me any answers. The so-called "manager" on duty refused to give her name, was incredibly rude, and wouldn't explain why the rules had changed or where I could even find them. Her only explanation was, "New year, new rules." That's not an acceptable - she was extremely unprofessional, disrespectful and rude! For the record, I even called in June to ask specifically about the indoor slide and was told nothing about swim tests or new restrictions. YMCA members deserve consistency, transparency, and basic respect. Right now, that's not what we're getting at the Marblehead location.

White Wolf is the best! I joined in August and am so happy I did. The group strength classes are…read morechallenging but manageable and the trainers are always there to provide feedback and corrections. Joe, the owner, is almost always around and the trainers he hires are knowledgable, supportive, and friendly. I started weight lifting at home with some dumbbells during the pandemic and was a little nervous about joining a 'real' gym but I didn't need to be - I really appreciated how welcoming everyone was and how it really feels like a community, even when you're brand new. I also worked with one of the trainers, Theresa, specifically on nutrition. She rocks as well!

Food and fitness is not always a harmonious marriage, but they go hand in hand. For the last month,…read moreI've been an official member of White wolf gym in Salem. After giving birth to burrito last year Phil and I rediscovered our love for food on the Northshore. We realized we were eating out almost every day and decided to capitalize on it by documenting our meals and experiences. The more restaurants we visited and reviewed, the more we wanted to share with our friends and family. This quickly became part of our routine. After doing this for several months, I realized this was supper counterproductive to losing the baby weight and overall health. I started going for 30min walks every day, and when that became super boring, I signed up for planet fitness, and when that didn't yield any results, I started taking yoga classes sporadically. I wasn't able to keep up with any of these for one reason or another, so I decided to move on to something new. As our blog grew and the length of time I spent on Instagram increased, I started to notice this gym pop up on friends' pages or in my feed sometimes in other friends' stories. White wolf seemed to be sending me subliminal messages. I spent weeks creeping and basically stalking their content before I finally decided to DM Joe, the owner. He invited me in to do a 2-week, and the rest is history. Phil and I are still working out some kinks in our routine, and the struggle to attend classes consistently is still there. But there's nothing like taking one of Joe's classes. This gym is the embodiment of Cross training. And Joe always keeps it interesting. I have yet to be bored or come out of a class feeling like I wish I never came. What does happen is your motivation is ignited. I'm continually hearing other members talk about how much stronger they are since coming here or sharing words of encouragement to stick with it and be consistent results will occur. When something in your life is changing you for the better, I feel like you have to share it!

I wavered on attending an OrangeTheory class for months before I finally pulled the trigger. I wish…read moreI had done so months earlier because I'm just a couple weeks in and is fabulous! Besides the workouts being on point, I've never belonged to a gym before where the instructors so genuinely care about their clients. I look forward to spending my mornings there and you feel so good when you leave after a class. After only a few sessions I boosted my subscription to the unlimited monthly. Ignore the previous reviewer who complained about needing to come early for the first session. It's stated explicitly several times when you register for your first (free!) class that you need to arrive early. They need to orient you to the space, the equipment, sign paperwork, etc. I'm sure there are liability issues making this not just their practice but a necessary policy. Anyone who would fault a business owner for that is clearly pretty self-important. Do yourself a favor and give OrangeTheory Swampscott a try!

HORRIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICE…read more It was supposed to be my first class and I was genuinely excited to try it out but they didn't let me in the class. They have a very strict policy that you must arrive at least 30 minutes before the class starts. I arrived 23 minutes before. They said it is corporate policy and denied me access. No one ever told me before it was a strict 30 minutes or I would not get access in. To be a stickler over 7 minutes and turn down someone new is just rude. I am NEVER going back. By the way, I have friends who are OTF instructors at another location and they said that would never happen at their location because they allow new clients in up to 20 minutes before. SO this strict corporate policy is BS. The folks at this location have no sense of how to treat clients. While the first class is free you could not pay me to go back there.

Just go, ladies. Seriously. Just go…read more I am not a go to the gym kind of girl. Rather I am a drive past the gym as fast as possible kind of girl. However, since I am also a girl of a certain age, it's time to get serious about living a healther life, for crying out loud. This place is really special. Especially if you're gym-phobic, like me. First of all, it's only ladies, of all ages, stages, and levels of fitness, and the members are lovely -- supportive and friendly. Second, there's only a few of us there at a time -- this is part of the whole concept -- lots of hands on attention by the very skilled and caring staff. And they really are the best part of the whole deal. Tiz, Kevin, Dave -- they are so committed to each of us and such delightful human beings it's a powerful motivator. I look forward to seeing them each time I go -- reallly! I am physically able to do things I didn't think possible, becasue they genuinely can discern what I'm capable of. They push us, because they know what they're doing. And it makes a difference. I've been there just over a month and I really love it, and can't sing their praises enough. So -- just go.
