I hadn't done CrossFit before but was familiar with many of the lifts from high school athletics. Shane McBride made sure that even if I thought I knew something we were going to train it and ensure each and every movement was understood to prevent injury and maximize training potential. The best part is, it's all done at your pace. CrossFit 557 helped me challenge myself regularly while also losing weight and maintaining a healthier lifestyle.

Another business owner neighbor sent me over to meet the yoga instructor, and honestly... I was…read moresold at "yoga." Walked over, introduced myself, and yep she's a total vibe. I also met the owners... hilarious. Like, the kind of business owners who don't take themselves too seriously, which immediately makes you want to hang around longer. I'll be honest, I almost didn't end up taking a class at all . The website had me going in circles trying to find straightforward pricing -- everything led to booking an appointment, consult , email .. yada yada As a traveler, sometimes you just want a simple low cost affordable drop-in option, maybe a short-term deal, or even ClassPass for ease. (Would love to see them on cp in the future!) But plot twist... the instructor offered me a deal I couldn't refuse for both yoga and a CrossFit class after and I'm really glad I said yes. The yoga class? My jam. Palo santo, incense, crystals, great music... and hands-on assists (!!!). Where have those gone lately? Such a rare and appreciated touch. And the sandbags during Savasana? Next level. One across the pelvis, one across the chest,completely grounding. I was OUT. Loved every second. Only thing missing was heat, but honestly, it was perfect leading into a workout. Doing yoga in a CrossFit gym is a whole vibe. The acoustics, the graffiti walls, a little Fleetwood Mac... it felt like a perfectly chaotic, beautiful mix. Kind of like my brain on a good day. Then came the CrossFit class... It was a MET-con workout day (hello cardio), which I usually love, but this one didn't quite hit for me personally. The pacing sits in that in-between zone..not quite sprint, not quite heavy endurance . Im a turtle speed and my brain prefers one or the other. I hate the in between . Coach modified my distance a bit to make it work out timing wise for everyone to finish around the same time but I'm definitely more of a "leave me on the floor questioning my life choices" kind of workout person. That said, that's just me. I'd absolutely come back to try a strength-focused day. What really stood out was the community ...super welcoming, encouraging, and just good energy all around.

Found in the little business center in the THF Valley by the hilton, F45 is a new workout brand to the STL area. The facility is large, with cubbies and sweat towels, along with a few showers for those on the go. Chelsea & Levi clearly care about growing their own community of happy, supportive, enthusiastic members that know each other. Out of 5 workouts I've taken, they've both been there, cheering us on, checking our form, high fiving between stations. The workouts: Alternating between cardio and resistance days, each workout varies from the prior of that same format, moving quickly between sets and stations. For someone new to working out, the number of stations and where to go next may seem intimidating, but there's a video screen showing each move, and where to go next, plus they show the moves before starting. For the seasoned athlete such as myself, I've enjoyed the mix of equipment used in New ways. Trx, pull up bars, rowers, ropes, and even sledgehammers have been some recent accessories I've enjoyed. The equipment/workouts can all be modified for whatever level of fit someone's at, but my recommendation is to know some basic weightlifting terms and form before trying F45 - not that you can't learn them during class, but so you can max the time during each station working instead of learning. So far, the classes have been fun, challenging, & welcoming.

The Coaches, Byron and Catlin are very passionate and educated about CrossFit and are always helping you achieve your goals. To achieve these goals, they help you scale down the exercises so you can build up to the full exercise over time. They really focus on what will help you as a individual. At CrossFit 1020, the athletes are at all different stages in your training but what I find comforting is you never feel intimidated. A lot of the more elite athletes, will take time out of their training to cheer you on, motivate you and help show you the proper way to do a new exercise. I always have felt welcome and appreciated by the Coaches and other athletes. CrossFit 1020 is definitely a community and everybody is family.

There are 8 different isometric classes (45 minute session) and 3 HIIT classes (15 minute session) you can sign up for. They also have the FX zone which is where a smith machine, dumbbells, and kettlebells are to do weight lifting as well. The classes are in little saunas and they can hold up to 3 people, although I will say most of the time you are able to get a room to yourself. The door is always locked, but members have access to open the door 24/7 to workout so it is super safe! The place is always clean and the staff are so friendly! They have a vending machine with lots of protein snacks and water that is always stocked. Not to mention the other people that work out there are awesome too!
