Let's face it. I'm a "No Pain No Pain" kind of guy. My wife runs 10Ks on the regular; I don't even…read morelike to DRIVE 10K. Unfortunately, seeing my growing gut and my even faster growing kid, I realized that it's about time to do things. And since my aforementioned wife had already joined the Crossfit cult, she harangued me to join Crossfit Grant Street. Oh, don't think I didn't harbor a hefty dose of skepticism. It also didn't help that most of the people I'd already seen there during my initial assessments were wearing some old t-shirts of whatever college team they were on. Notice, I didn't say, "cheered on," I said, "were on." Was I ever on a college team? Does mathlete count? Beer pong? Not to mention, I went to college back in the pre-Internet dark ages, where faces and books were two different, unrelated things. So yeah, I may be new to the entire working out thing, but at least I'm also really, really old. As I said, skepticism. Fortunately, the gym owners/coaches understand my particular set of...challenges and adjust accordingly. It also helps to leave your ego at the door. Like when I told my doctor I started Crossfit at my annual physical (or what my millennial co-workers call it, "Wait, you go EVERY year?!"), doc responded, "At your age...." (Those sentences never end well. ) "...I don't usually think Crossfit is a good idea. You're surrounded by a bunch of 20 year olds and you try to do what they do and end up hurting yourself." I laughed and responded, "Uh, no. I know my limits. You forget that I've been married long enough that my ego was obliterated years ago. I've already accepted the fact that my wife can deadlift more than I can so I have no problem asking my coaches to scale it down." Doc gave her blessings after hearing that. So I'm a few months into it. I don't go to class every day, though I could if I wanted to. I have the shirt, but I feel bad wearing it since I haven't gotten rid of my gut yet. I've gotten to know many of my fellow gymmates and they're good folks; I don't think they realize how old and broken down I am, but the coaches do and that's what counts since they're the ones scaling my workouts. I'm not part of the cult, but all those years of fighting Sunday School class has built up my resistance towards indoctrination. Still, my body is reshaping itself slowly but surely. I may never be a jock (I'm too much of a nerd at heart), but I'm adding a few more attribute points to my character sheet. I'm all right with that.

First off, I am pretty great at writing reviews, so brace yourself! (this is literally my second…read morereview ever.... oops) I never thought In a million years that I would workout almost daily, let alone doing Crossfit. My husband has been doing CF for over 5 years, he's incredible at it...... and thats incredibly intimidating. I have seen the transformation from the front line, I wanted it, but the CF cultish,scary strong people thing scared the shit out of me!!!! So i joined ClassPass and literally tried everything I could, Spin, Yoga, Bare, Pilates, boxing, kickboxing and everything in between. I just wanted an effective program that would give me a bigger ass and a body that would fit into the category of 'sexy as F***'! Pretty obtainable goal right!! I can guarantee that if i walked into any other gym 4 months ago, I would still be sitting on the New Years resolution of 'Get in Shape'. Thankfully I walked into this amazing space, filled with positivity and encouragement. I genuinely enjoy spending the best/worst hour of my day with everyone at this gym! The coaches are wonderful people and they are pretty good at coaching too (really good). The gym is spacious & SUPER CLEAN. you may be working out somewhere else or maybe just wishing you worked out in general. The community that is CrossFit Grant Street will support you and push you to be the best version of yourself! I am still a long way from my dream ass and my sexy AF bod- but my mental,physical and emotional strength and well-being has grown immensely!!! I owe it to this Fit-Fam! and to myself! Life can be uncomfortable at times, and CrossFit Grant Street taught me how to thrive in that uncomfortable-ness. xoxo

Vibe Ride taught me how to enjoy exercise and now I look forward to coming almost every day! I have become stronger, healthier, and happier since joining this community and even roped my partner into becoming a regular. Spin has great music and the room is dark, so you don't have to feel self-conscious if you are worried about how you look when you work out. TRX and body classes are also excellent. All of the coaches are fantastic and have their own energy and flow so you can find the fit that works best for you. I especially love Cristol, De'Angelo, and Demetrius' classes. They are fun, encouraging, and committed to ensuring everyone has a wonderful experience, no matter their skill level. We've even completed Tough Mudders as a gym! I can't speak highly enough of these coaches-- and of Vibe Ride!

I've never gone to any gym/studio so consistently, or for that matter, enjoyed working out as much as at IB. Irina is such a bright, and positive presence, and her classes are diverse and challenging enough to keep me coming back. She focuses a lot on form and alignment to prevent injury. There are a lot of things I had no idea I was doing wrong! The studio itself is very open, bright, and welcoming. Parking has never been an issue for me there. I always park on the side street next to Chrome Yellow Trading Co., I believe it's Daniel Street, but I think you can park on Edgewood, as well. She's also does this wonderful shoulder press with peppermint oil to end class which is just dreamy, and once in a while will send you off with a little dark chocolate. Just an amazing experience overall. Get your booty over to IB asap! You won't regret it:)

Tuesday June 2nd, 2021…read more So the pool has been open since Saturday and we definitely had to come. It's limited in capacity at 40% or 92 people. We had a short wait of 5 minutes before enough people left the pool for us to get in. A wait list is taken when the pool exceeds capacity and you just have to wait until people leave, which typically isn't very long, on a week day anyway. I have to say the water was very chilly. So we also didn't stay longer than 30 minutes. The kiddie pool was not open. It seemed like there was no deep section and you could walk from one end of this Olympic size pool to the other. Don't bother calling ahead. I doubt they'll take a reservation over the phone. When I was there, the teenage staff were not answering. I also saw that folks had left the water running in the showers. Not very considerate given water is a scarce commodity. I'd suggest also reeling in the excess swim lanes which were just sitting on the ground gathering leaves. The price: Free! So you can't beat it. We will be back next week when I hope it's a little warmer.
