The front desk was super…read morefriendly when I came in, and the instructors in had for both classes were encouraging and friendly as well. I was worried about not knowing what to do (truly didn't know what to expect in the class) but the instructors kept checking in and I never felt that I was lost. I took the Signature 45 class and the Cardio 45 class. Signature 45 was low impact, high reps, and cardio was a high-ish impact, high movement calorie burner.

I've struggled with finding a workout regimen in my 40s that keeps me interested and not bored, but…read morealso isn't so intense that I can't keep up. I came to a class with a friend of mine for free almost one year ago, and little did I know, that one class changed my life. Ever since last October, I've gotten the "barre3 bug", and have proven to myself that I can stick with a workout regimen between 3 to 5 days a week for almost a full year now, and not get sick of it. The instructors are friendly, extremely knowledgeable and diverse, which allows a full range of people to attend any class that is offered and feel as though they are successful upon leaving. It doesn't matter if you're a life long athlete or never been physically active, these classes offer many variations of the same movements to accommodate anyone. I've lost almost 17 pounds since beginning bar classes almost one year ago, and truly appreciate the value these classes have brought into my life. The owner, Jess, is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming, so even if you've never taken any sort of barre class, you won't feel out of place or uncomfortable, no matter what class you decide to take... Well, you may be uncomfortable, but that's just because the workout is so good! They even offer childcare for those who need it and options to stream classes from home, which I take advantage of most of the time. When I've gone into the studio, the instructors are so friendly and nice and act like I'm coming back to see an old friend. For someone who has a tendency to be self conscious OR for the most confident person ever, you can rest assured that when you visit the Ft. Thomas Barre3 studio, you'll have a positive and challenging experience, which allows you to leave the studio feeling better for having come in. I promise! (Even if you feel like you can't walk the next day bc you're so sore!)

JD and Gaylynn have wonderful, very useful equipment and respectful gym members. However, they are…read moreterrible humans in general and very much so less than professional. I was a member there from 07/2019 - 02/2020. I will detail my experience: At first it was a great environment to be in, but it went downhill FAST. It started with Gaylynn being a gossip and sharing a story about a woman who no longer went to their gym. Knowing the woman today and having heard her side of the story, what Gaylynn said about her was absolutely cruel, slanderous, and potentially reputation-ruining. It kept getting worse after this. I would regularly witness JD have full meltdowns directed at a few members, screaming and yelling at them. According to my records, the first time I saw this behavior was the end of August 2020 with him ending the argument yelling, "you'd be nothing without me". This member has since left, as well, and is at a reputable gym further north doing AMAZING. The yelling only continued and eventually made its way to the group of girls I trained with. (There is also a Yelp review chronicling this exact behavior). My group of girls had a group chat on Facebook that we would regularly talk on about random things from clothes, to what time we'd be at the gym, to, and mostly notably, JD's meltdowns. I'm sure it's not the first time, but the first time I have in my own records, but at the end of December 2019, he screamed at a mother over the phone because he was watching the cameras and the child was out of the play pin. He has known the father for a much longer time and had a very good relationship with him when this happened. I had heard previously that JD has a problem keeping women powerlifters in his gym, but experienced *why* for myself during this time. During the time I was there he offered scant coaching, from my perspective, to the girl group. I'm not sure if this was intentional or if he truly thought a group of very inexperienced powerlifters were coaching each other appropriately and offering good cues. While I was there, I also experienced JD's constant conspiracy theory talk and hateful rhetoric. Although he does not post conspiratorial issues on his social media accounts for FSC, he does post about them on his own social media and frequently talks about them in the gym. I'm glad I (accidentally) didn't sign a 12 month contract with him. When I left, I left a professional note (attached) about why I was leaving and the key. I paid him what was due. I was not disrespectful to him or his wife. I am way better off physically, and mentally since I left this gym. I have added over 200 lbs to my total and am at a gym that does not have these types of issues. Even with what seems like the ideal way to leave a situation, JD still surprises me with his maliciousness. I have been coaching a young girl (130 lbs soaking wet, happy, unassuming, and timid) who has become a friend to me for around 6 months. After her first competition, she, on her own volition, decided to put her trust in this man and join his "open gym" which includes bringing your own programming for $40 a month. She was on a 3 month contract. Spoiler, she only made it to a month and a half before he kicked her out: We were in the process of switching her training from linear to a more conjugate-styled training. I am a new coach, she is a new lifter, so there are bound to be mistakes in set up which we tackle head-on as she sends me videos via text in real time. JD even helped her set up one day, which I was relieved about. A few days later, my athlete texts me saying "he knows you're my coach. He's saying you're trash and good luck with my total" in addition to "he intimidates me" and "I'm pretty sure he hates me". I messaged him a very professional letter (attached) and he blocked me from both Insta accounts. The very next morning, she called me crying saying he kicked her out saying her "set up was dangerous" rather than finding a logical solution. He also stated that she was disrespectful which I've never known this girl to be.
