I got introduced to Edgewater Athletic Club via a swim program they host…read more Pros: - They have a nice sized pool that has several swim lanes for beginner swimmers and more advanced swimmers. - The staff member at the entrance was very nice. He was always willing to loan me a towel every time I visited. - The swim program is setup every well! It took me a few rounds to land a spot because it's very competitive but it was worth the wait. The instructors are very knowledgeable and helped me feel more comfortable in the water. Cons: - The pool is cleaned monthly and you can really see the difference of it being recently cleaned vs collecting whatever in the pool. - The locker rooms could use an update and a deep cleaning. I wish they had a mix of short lockers with the full sized lockers so we don't have to stuff all of our items into multiple lockers when it gets colder outside.

On weekends I'm there in the morning when there's no maintenance but would hope when they arrive that they make it priority to check locker rooms first. Also should be a no gym shoe rule in the sauna. Sometime the sweat puddles are literally black. Otherwise I really like staff and facilities

It's mostly Crossfit-adjacent group classes, but they also offer olympic lifting, personal training, weekend community workouts (a Saturday morning class with Coach Chris is fantastic way to kickoff your weekend / cap off your week), and other small group sessions. I was admittedly worried about going to a Crossfit type gym, they come with a certain reputation, but I look forward to going to the gym frequently and consistently. The culture at the gym is really fantastic, my classmates (and coaches) are encouraging and helpful, and everyone wants to help you do your best given your abilities. It's impossible not to make friends at PXM. Additionally, I came to the gym with a lingering "knee" issue, but with a combination of physical therapy and a lot of individualized attention from the coaches, I'm feeling the best I've felt in years. Senad, one of the owners was extremely helpful at encouraging me to continue to move throughout my recovery. With a lot of support, I was able to continue moving throughout my recovery and I think this helped accelerate my overall recovery timeline. Coach Leah and Coach Matt we really helpful (and incredibly patient with the million questions I asked) in helping me find movements that were supportive and didn't cause pain while still working towards the goal of a specific class. All the coaches are really great at modifying workouts to ensure you are working towards the prescribed movements without risking injury. Most classes offer two tracks, each with modifications, that are designed for folks who either want to do more traditional Crossfit movements and another for folks who are seeking more traditional fitness movements or are working towards being able to do the Crossfit movements. The gym has a general wellness focus, so you can also sign up for nutrition counseling, meal prep kits, massage, etc. I recently signed up for nutrition coaching with Melissa, and I'm learning a lot everyday about what my body needs to fuel itself. If you are looking for a welcoming, inclusive, and fun place to workout, I can't recommend PXM enough.
