When you get a trainer/ Wellness coach you expect them to have your best interest at heart, that…read morewasn't the case at next level. At the beginning of my training with Cody (The owner) the inappropriateness of speaking on my relationship to the point where neither my boyfriend and i felt comfortable with me continuing to go there. As well as how uncomfortable he made me feel as he would complain about his girlfriend while she was sitting at the desk a few feet away when i never initiated or pursued conversations about his personal life. Asking if he could go out with me because he knows i have "hot friends" or doing a certain workout and me telling him it was "too tight' in reference to the machine, clearly. And him chuckling and saying "I bet." And that's one of many incidences. The level of unprofessional-ism with the owner Cody was unreal. When i told him i had found a new trainer to save money, instead of working with me he immediately started making rude remarks about my family/ financial situation. First comment, was about the vacation i had recently taken. Second comment, he told me "ask your daddy for some money i know he has it coming out of everywhere" Third comment, "how much is your rent even?" Asking in regards to why i couldn't continue to afford his training. Which personally i feel is beyond out of line in itself. As a trainer/ health coach i feel as if you should want the very best for your client.. and he was in fact the opposite only looking out for himself. If you do plan on training with Cody, do not put too much trust in him as a coach. He only cares about his pocket not actually giving you the attention and detailed exercise program and the support. Also be prepared for continuous condescending remarks in regards to his training and life. As well as the level of inappropriateness that he showed me as a women.

I LOVE THE LOADING DOCK!…read more Zach has build an amazing gym community in Grand Rapids. Classes are a bit pricy but I won't mind paying because of the energy and attention you receive from the coaches here. Class are CrossFit inspired in the movements and structure, but they are not a CrossFit gym. Every movement is coached on so even if you're new to working out, the class is accessible because modifications are given. They also recently started a new class here as well: sweat 30. That's a class designed for people who want to get in a beginner friendly work out in under an hour.

If you are working on gaining strength, losing weight, maintaining or just want to remain mobile, there is a spot for you. I should also mention that TLD has the resources to support injuries as well. The facilities are always clean, well organized and there is plenty of free parking around the building. The owner and coaches put a lot of thought into their class structure. You are never fighting for weights or space to complete your workout. One of my favorite things about the gym is their consistency. I have been a member of a few gyms that offer group classes and the type of workout you receive is dependent on what time you go and the coach. At TLD, while the classes change daily, the workout for that day is the same. So if you go in the morning or evening you will receive the same workout. Also, even though their services are already exemplary, TLD is always looking for ways to improve and asks for feedback from its members. And last by certainty not least are the people. Being a bit of an introvert, I am still surprised by how welcoming & supportive not only the coaches are but the other members. I have found a home that I never knew I needed.

I've done personal training at Phoenix in the past and they also have classes. I went to a barbell…read moreclass recently and had a lot of fun. The personal training sessions were useful for me because I started working out at home during the pandemic and wanted to make sure I was using proper form during strength exercises. It was cool to try out different equipment I normally wouldn't have access to at home, like the sled (I felt like a pro football player pushing that thing), barbells, boxes, rower machines, etc. I was also pushed to go a little harder than I might during my own home workouts, but never to a point where I felt like I might be injured. My personal trainer worked with me to modify any movements I needed, and listened to my preferences when it came to full body vs. upper/lower body workouts. Of course there were some exercises I didn't particularly love (*cough cough* wall ball slams), but the point is to be challenged because that's when growth happens! Sounds corny but it's true. The barbell class was super fun. It was a small group of six and we started with warmups and agility, then moved into different barbell exercises like deadlifts and shoulder presses. We ended with some core work and it was a great workout! I was definitely sweating but loved the supportive and fun atmosphere of the class. They also offer other group classes like yoga and have memberships or drop in rates. The facility is super clean and there's lots of parking. It's a woman-owned gym that feels very inclusive and welcoming.

This is a terrible gym with shady business practices. To begin, they basically go full…read morevacuum-salesman on you. They don't tell you that you're signing a multi-year contract with a high cancellation fee rather than a month-to-month agreement like most other gyms. They'll phrase it to you another way, like "keeping your monthly rate at a good rate for a few years", which is incredibly deceptive. They'll also make you decide before you walk out the door and tell you if you don't decide now, the next time you come the rate will be higher. In addition to the shady business practices, there's no variety in the equipment. In particular, in the year that I was there, the treadmills were always broken and they never fixed them (after 2 miles of running, the mat would start sliding and the treadmills would slow down randomly). There are so many better gyms out there. The only reason this one is still in business is because they trick people into multi-year contracts with hidden annual fees and charge you an arm and a leg to cancel them. Avoid this gym at all costs.

You do need gloves for class but my friend brought some for me, otherwise you will need to buy them from the studio. I was told that it's best practice to keep a punching bag inbetween you and the next person if possible. The instructor came over to introduce herself and came to asses my kickboxing knowledge. I had done some sessions in the past, so I was able to keep up easily with the constantly changing combos. It may be daunting for newcomers but just punching and kicking the bags is a phenomenal workout whether or not you get it right. The instructor was really motivating and supportive. I really enjoyed my experience and would love to go back soon!

David is not like your typical PT because even though I was there for my ankle, he has helped me understand more about the pain in my body. As a survivor of childhood trauma, I have actually suffered with chronic pain since I was 17 starting with endometriosis. Even as a nurse, I learned a lot about myself and how my whole person affects my perception of pain including how my childhood trauma is connected to all of this mess. If you suffer with pain of any kind whether acute or chronic I highly recommend making an appointment with David today!! I've posted some pictures of my injury to give you an idea of what he had to work with.
