    It looks like I am not the only one that is ecstatic about Pro Force. There are 15 other filtered…read morereviews on here as well And I encourage you to check them out! Anyway, I am a former athlete and by former I mean I am now a dad of two that found myself stuck in the same routine of running and light lifting. Light lifting of beer and food that is. I needed something new and motivating and found myself on groupon. I didn't want to join a cross fit (not my style) and didn't trust the large group fitness classes at the huge corporate giants (xsport type) just looking to get your money. So I thought I would give this place a try. After all, it was only 200$ to start for 3x a week for the first 2 months. Jump on Groupon now if it still there and if not I promise whatever you pay will be better than a gym membership. Onto my experience so far. The first week I found out just how bad my form was and how much of a difference it makes on your core and body when you do lifts and exercises correctly. It was a motivating atmosphere without the pressure of a competitive environment where you are injuring yourself. All I care about now is my form and my results which is why I knew after day one I have found my go to place. Chris who runs my class adapts to each individual and doesn't let you cheat anything. With my gym membership I would of stopped after a certain set or taken an extra rest. Having the motivation of Chris pushing you makes you push harder. Pro Force has trainers and an owner that care about each individual and their outcomes. I have been in the xsport classes that the instructor spent more time looking in the mirror at his arms rather than my form. Anyway, I am only 3 weeks in but feel great and am improving. The class consist of many different exercises that work too many muscles to name. Some I didn't know existed. Trust me I feel it today :). There are many different options for classes and individuals of all levels. However The best part about this is knowing my dollar is going to a family of a gym that is locally owned. The owner also invests time and energy back into my community. I only wish this place existed when I was an athlete as most of us at my age relied on pure athletic ability. Bonus note is they train numerous professional athletes. Knowing these pro athletes train with pro force means it is definitely good enough for me. Now take that first step and I promise you will be happy you did. Thanks Pro Force and Staff for helping me get closer to my goals.

    If your New Years resolution is to find the best place to start or continue an exercise program…read morethis is THE place in the Tri City area. I have been going here for 3 years - prior to that I worked out on my own, I swam, ran did a little of the old P90X. I wasn't in bad shape - but I wasn't in great shape either. I would work out "hard" for a month then lose interest for a month or two then start it up again. I started at ProForce in my late 40s - when my age was starting to really catch up with me - I was waking up with back aches and was sore after yard work and now - I'm almost 50 now and I am in the best shape I have ever been. There are three reasons to go to ProForce 1) Chris is a fantastic trainer - and he along with his staff - really know what they are doing. I had no idea that I was doing most of the exercises wrong or with very poor form. The way I was doing the exercise really wasn't working the muscle groups in the right way (or worse working the wrong groups) and I was suffering because of it. It's really like working out with a personal trainer every day! They watch your form and when it breaks down they correct it - so you don't hurt yourself. They also get you to think about which muscles should be working for a given exercise to really help you focus. They also really work on flexibility and movement - something I had never even considered. Also they treat you like a professional athlete - and sometimes you are working out next to people that were or are professional athletes - which is really cool. At the beginning focus on form - that's the best advice I can give anyone starting here. 2) Variety. Workouts are varied and we rarely do the same workout twice - over three years. This has kept me mentally engaged and interested. Sometimes you work with weights and sometimes it is body weight and they do a lot of good cardio as well. 3) The competition and people in the classes. I enjoy their company - we laugh, we work (hard) and we motivate each other - sometimes you don't feel like working out hard - everyone has those days - but when you are working out with a group - particularly this group - you will find yourself working harder. It doesn't matter what shape you are in right now - there is someone else at your level - to push you and to work with every day.

    We love Pica Pau! My 5 year old son has been in the young kids program and is really loving it. He…read morewas nervous to try something new and "tough", but the instructor has been consistently supportive, kind, and patient. I can already see his confidence blooming! Tam let us try out a few classes to make sure he liked it before committing financially, and has flexible pricing. Overall everyone has been very understanding and transparent. If you're on the fence, take this as a sign to just try it!

    I have been a member of Pica Pau for 10 months now because I became interested in their striking…read moreclasses (a mix of boxing and Muay Thai). I'm 39 and have never been athletic in my entire life and was just over 300lbs back when I joined. I joined after my first class, even though they were more than generous in offering me more time to check the place out. I joined because it was immediately clear that the mantra-mission statement of "Train Hard, Be Kind" is fostered in and is alive in every single person at this gym and I wanted very much to be a part of it. Nowhere is this spirit more alive than in Aaron and Tam - the captains of this ship - and all the instructors across Pica Pau's deep and diverse weekly schedule. In the striking classes you will find no better coach than Ulysses and no better group of training partners. There is space for everyone of every skill level here. Everyone has the same expectation - train hard, be kind. BJJ is a challenge I am continuing to work at, but what has never been a challenge is feeling like I didn't belong. I've never seen a single person hesitate to help anyone who needs it. I have never seen, or even heard gossip of, the kinds of toxicity that multiple YouTube videos will tell you exists across the vast expanse of jiu jitsu gyms. The expectation and mission of "Train Hard, Be Kind" could not describe the culture better and it's infused in everything about Pica Pau. This place will rise to meet all the effort and drive you are willing to bring to it. It's an amazing ride being a part of Pica Pau. 5 out of 5 stars, no notes, would train at again.
