    2nd floor weights near the rock wall
    Jenny H.

    I've been coming to this gym since 2013. I've witnessed its renovations and changes over the past 6 years. It's quite a shame to see what the gym has become. It still has its glorious parts, but it also has its messy flaws. Some pros that I still love include the rock climbing wall, the studio classes seem great, the abundance of machines available. Unfortunately, there always seems to be a shortage of mats, operational treadmills, and misplaced weights. Ab mats are almost always taken, as some people also take the ab mats into the yoga classes instead of bringing their own mats. During the busy peak times of January (#NewYearsResolution), the treadmills are almost always all full. And there's about 5 non-operational ones to get your hopes up. I can't wait for the crowd to die down as it always does by the time march rolls around. Weights are always being misplaced. And don't even get me started on how hard it is to get a bench in the dumbbell areas. Lastly, membership services is a pain in the butt. I've waited 4 months to get my free month of membership for referring a friend. I have yet to hear from Tyisha, the member services person. The people who work at the counter are unpleasant and unhelpful with this matter. Very unprofessional of Tyisha.

    Have a great night!

She is patient, caring, and extremely knowledgable. Not only did we figure out a lot of the causes of my problems - did you know a nutritionist could help with joint pain?

I didn't want to mask the symptoms anymore, I wanted to eliminate them. So I started working with Cristina and she guided me through an elimination diet. Working with her and going through that process was the best thing I could have done for myself. There is so much info out there that it can be overwhelming. Cristina was there every step of the way, answering all of my simple and complex questions, offering support when it got difficult, helping me find solutions and give great advice. Never judging or just telling me what to do, but explaining why and how it will benefit me. She took her time during our meetings was very thorough, even following up offering additional resources. Going through the elimination diet with her by my side gave me confidence that I could do it and that I wasn't alone in this journey. It helped me discover triggers and opened my eyes to how nutrition and self-care can truly heal my body.

Their team is welcoming and their methodology is easy to incorporate into your daily life- which is often one of the challenges when trying to adjust your ways of eating and your relationship with food.

Additionally, the OnPoint team does all the hard work of dealing with your insurance and making sure you know what is covered. To my suprise, most of the cost of working with a dietician is covered by many carriers. I would highly recommend OnPoint to anyone looking to make any sort of change in their diet or nutrition!

Also, the phone calls are easy to jump on for a busy schedule. 20-30 minutes 2x a week - especially in the beginning it was great to have the calls that frequently.

Dr. Snyder took measurements, pictures - the whole nine yards and came up with a treatment plan for my aching joints. I really appreciated her openness and willingness to explain everything so thoroughly. One of my favorite things about InSight is that massages are offered in conjunction with adjustments. I love this holistic approach and really, who doesn't love a good massage?! Speaking of massages, the masseuse's here are top-notch as are the front desk staff who are efficient, friendly and accommodating. I especially love the text messages I get as a reminder of my appointment - how convenient! Dr. Snyder and Dr. Dunlap have a patient-centered practice and your well-being is their top priority - I'm hooked and my body is reaping the benefits. Shouldn't yours be as well?

At the time I was disappointed, but it is the best thing that ever happened to me. I can't say enough good things, Ha helped me change my life and my relationship with food for good. We all know how to eat healthy, what Ha does is helps you find a sustainable way of doing it. She helped me come up with solutions to my road blocks, was my cheerleader, and kept me accountable. When everything shut down last March we got on a virtual session together. Now I still check in every so often to let her know I'm still on track and just because shes's the greatest and I love her! I am down 110lbs from my first visit with her and have maintained that loss for a year. I found a passion in nutrition in fitness I never could have imagined having. My insurance 100% covered my visits, if you are worried about cost look into if you're covered. I have referred my boss, coworkers, friends from the gym, strangers at the grocery store, and my mom. If you make an appointment tell her Stacey sent you!
