Management, not so much, haha. I'm guessing that one of the reasons this place's fees are a bit steep is because some of it has to go to the managers that live over 500 miles away. That wouldn't be a problem if they were more responsive to issues, and fixed broken machinery, and kept up with the nonexistent nutrition portion of the program, but what can you do! Give it a go, though! I seriously learned a lot from the trainers! Although if you are a trainer looking to work here... maybe look elsewhere? Management communication skills are a bit rough.

One human being supporting another and rooting each other on. Yaa...well that didn't happen here. I get a text today confirming phone interview. I explained to this chick, Karlie that I attempted to cancel my interview online but it wouldn't allow me to. I explained that an unexpected financial hardship came about yesterday(car issues...if I can't repair the car...which means I can't go to work which means I cannot earn my living) and as of now I wouldn't be able to afford whatever the cost is. She proceeded to ask what type of budget I have. I asked her what the exact cost of this particular 12 week challenge was and she couldn't seem to answer. She said I'm just the scheduler. She proceeded to text the following: "Ya no worries! I'm not sure that we will be the best fit to work together only because we are looking for people who are 110% committed to changing their lives" So this "scheduler" felt the need to tell me that because I couldn't afford their program at this moment in time. that I'm not good enough? Or worth their effort? When I am able, I will give my business to a fitness facility that is worth my time and money and who makes me feel like I'm worth it and that will support me along the way, which means it will NOT be, "Advanced" Body Dynamics.

The program in Chico is brand new, maybe about 6 months. Classes are held in an uninsulated…read morewarehouse space on Hegan Lane. Equipment consists of a dozen yoga mats, some strength bands, a half dozen kettle bells taped to look like purses, and chin-up bars. The gym does not have bathroom facilities such as showers, but it does have a water cooler. I can understand and even overlook the spartan conditions considering that it's such a fledgling program. However the uninsulated building is a problem. Remember the scene from Rocky where Stallone exercises inside a meat locker punching away at a side of beef? Conditions inside the gym in the mornings aren't that far off! Don't get me wrong, I'm no wimp. Heck, I just got back from a winter camping trip over New Years where I endured freezing temperatures for just under a week. The problem with the gym is the combination of sweating and cold combined; it's just not good. Obviously having just joined, I have no idea what summers are like, but I can't image they are pleasant in Chico's triple digit heat! The other limitation of the gym are its hours. Kaia FIT holds four classes a day, and that is it. Unless a class is being held, the gym is not open for members to exercise. This is far from being a full service fitness facility, and considering what you pay, it isn't a great deal. The one feature Kaia does provide is a single sex environment; men are not allowed. But unless you really have issues exercising in mixed company, I would take my money elsewhere. If honest local poster like me are getting their reviews scrubbed from Yelp, I wouldn't trust them.

They don't have a separate room like most gyms have for you to go in and work out semi-private workout, they do not offer any classes and the bathrooms feel dirty. Not dirty as in, trash all over the place but dirty as in it needs to be disinfected. It would be a plus if at least one channel on the 10 TV's was for females. Its always sports, news and what looked like cop shows. Some reality , comedy or trash tv would have been great on at LEAST ONE tv, there was never anything remotely interesting (to me) on any of them and sometimes I like to zone out on a show while I'm doing cardio. It seems the rules are a little inconsistent, and are based on who's working. The third time I went to work out, I was told it's mandatory that they take my photo however the friend that I work out with was never asked to take her photo. I didn't want to take a photo on that particular day and was told that I had to if I wanted to work out. Each time we've gone back, they have never once asked her or made it clear that it's "mandatory that she has a photo on file" making me feel singled out, which I'm not cool with. As far as I know, they already had a copy of my drivers license from when I signed up so why did they need an additional photo of me? It gave me the ick so... that was the last month of membership. Parking was kind of a joke as well, depending on time of day but, most of the time I would sit around and wait for someone to leave that was parked near the front because I was weirded out parking too far away from the door (if I went to the gym solo and it was dark). About the operating hours: It would also be nice if they were 24 hours, which I believe they were previously but have since changed and are now inconveniently only open until 10 on Friday and 7 on Saturday. It seems that they would keep their open hours a lot later especially on the weekends. You get what you pay for or, in this case what you dont pay for, its CHEAP for a reason.

Throughout the years I've tried everything from weight training to cycling to yoga and several types of martial arts. I can say that very few workout hit your body so completely like a good session of kettlebell training at Elevate. In one short hour you will get a great workout and walk away fully satisfied. Sure, you will be sore the next day...but no pain, no gain..right? The owner of Elevate and also head trainer Brent is superb at what he does. Whether you are an absolute beginner or a seasoned athelete, he always give you suggestions and tips that cater to your specific needs. And since classes are typically small (from 6-10 people), you will get plenty of attention and help when you need it. I will not go into details of what we do in class. Emma's reviews already covered that pretty throughly. What's more important is that IT WORKS! For the past 6 months I've been with Elevate, I've gained lean muscle mass, lost fatty weight, and developed core strength (and when your core is strong, EVERYTHING ELSE is strong). I now live a very busy lifestyle and going to Elevate 2-3 times a week for just about an hour each time has been doing wonders to my body. Our workout regimen change on a regular basis to keep it challenging and fun. I look forward to each class and I'm very excited to what it can do to my body in the near future.
