    We have been members at the "Y" for many years now. Is it fancy, no. Definitely no lifetime fitness vibes here. HOWEVER! It is family friendly. It does have many amenities. We love the outdoor pool in the warmer months. Plus there medium size gym has most if not all gym equipment needs. My younger son loves the basketball courts. In my opinion is it the nicest YMCA I've been to....naw. I am still going to stay it's solid and does the job. Really wish it had an indoor track like another around the area does!

    Plenty and a variety of equipment.

    NO ROOM in the weight area. NO ROOM for stretching. The weight room ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE BIGGER!! It can become hazardous.

This gym also has a smell of cat litter. Not sure if it's the rubber floors or what, but the bottom floor really stinks. Other than those two, a gym is a gym and I'm there to work out. The sauna is nice and gets very hot.

The owner, Dan Owens, instructs these classes often and will absolutely crush your upper and lower body in the best possible way. He is extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to making sure every person in the room knows what to do and helps with form if necessary and welcomed. Another great perk is access to the locker rooms and saunas. I feel the entire facility is kept clean and organized. I love the big windows everywhere which allow for a ton of natural light to come inside. I also enjoy using the indoor/outdoor green space on the bottom floor which has a garage door that can open and close depending on the weather. Very nice during Spring, Summer and early Fall. I never feel like I have to wait for equipment to free up, and they do offer complimentary towels at the front desk upon check-in. This athletic club is on ClassPass and I typically just purchase gym time using a couple credits or I sign up for the circuit or conditioning classes.

I really loved the number of pools, spa areas, and play zones for kids. It's definitely a fun and family-friendly spot. But unfortunately, my visit took a bad turn. I slipped and fell on a very slick floor -- and I hadn't even been in the water yet. There was no caution sign at the spot, and it only appeared hours after my fall. My leg is still sore, and it completely ruined what was supposed to be a relaxing day. A friend invited me and she's a huge fan of this place, so I really wanted to enjoy it too. But safety should come first. I hope the management takes this seriously and improves the floor safety. Sadly, 3 stars from me for now.

Despite that, the associate responded by asking if I would be the guest. The interaction was surprising and uncomfortable, as it appeared an assumption was made about who held the membership. My guest and I found the comment inappropriate, and it left us questioning whether unconscious bias played a role in the exchange. I believe all members should be treated with the same level of respect and professionalism, regardless of their race or appearance. While this may not have been the associate's intention, the experience left a negative impression and is something management should address through staff training and awareness.

I have taken a variety of classes with Kolleen, Sara, and Matt and every class is scalable regardless of where you might be in your fitness journey. There is help and encouragement when you need it, and the environment makes you want to come back and workout again, and again. In terms of cleanliness, Core 57 is a 10/10. I have yet to see dust on anything. Cleaning spray bottles and towels are provided to every member during the class and cleaning is required after each use of equipment and announced by the trainers. It is a small group setting (personal training is offered and classes have 4 members to 12 members depending on the class), so I feel comfortable working out even during a pandemic. There are also restrooms and 2 showers available in case you might need to get ready post workout. This is not the kind of gym where you walk on the treadmill for an hour and blindly figure out what equipment to use. If you're looking for a big box gym for $29 a month, this is also not the place for you. BUT: If you've been shopping around for a personal training type of workout experience that focuses on you being and feeling better, I would 1,000% recommend you to give it a try!

    Body by Design is a diamond in the rough for personal training and overall fitness…read more Working out and being enrolled in sports my entire life I have been told a variety of contradicting methods and correct ways to lift. This lead to me never feeling comfortable adding a ton of weight to my main compound exercises (squat, dead-lift, bent over-row, bench, overhead press, and hang-clings) or even using them at all in fear of hurting myself from bad form. After only 4 months of practicing my form I have made major jumps on all my personal records for all major lifts. Not only have I made great strides on all my lifts I no longer have the clicking knees, painful lower back, or joint problems that usually went hand in hand with lifting slightly heavy on barbell lifts. The trainers are all top of the line and extremely knowledgeable at their craft. Not only do the trainers take great pride in their knowledge of health and fitness they truly have a strong passion that is clearly infectious around the entire gym. BBD offers a variety of trainers that all have their own niche of personal training. Whatever you are looking for in a trainer you are bound to find that perfect fit to help you reach your goals and motivate you the entire way. If you're looking to get in shape and make difference in your health and fitness I would look no further that Body by Design Fitness Studio. Most trainers claim to provide custom workouts but in reality, just handing you cookie cutouts they provide to all their customers with slight differences. Trainers are all genuine people who only want to see you succeed and leave feeling like you've better yourself every time you leave their studio. I would highly recommend BBD to anyone regardless of age, wanting to improve their health and fitness.

I was diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome a few years ago, and I couldn't trust my body to do basis tasks. There were so many things I would avoid doing, because my body seemed so fragile. I literally lived in fear. When I started at Body By Design, I was scared that I might injure myself but the trainers made me feel at ease by ensuring me that these exercises were the best way to prevent injury. Not only do I not experience TOS symptoms anymore, I am able to use my body like I used to! These trainers have given me my life back and I am very grateful. I'll be signing up for another year once my current contract is up.

They all suffer from the same issue:…read morecorporately-run, sales-oriented operations coupled with decades-old body-image shaming favored by the health industry and terrible client culture. This is the solution if you're looking to add lean muscle mass, enjoy getting to know other gym members and like the daily involvement of a knowledgeable, fun, and dedicated owner. And for women who are intimidated by lifting and strength training, this is your breakthrough solution because many of the women members are seasoned competitive lifters of all ages. To be clear, you're not going to find a room full of cardio machines or a schedule of yoga classes. Roswell Barbell is focused on building strength and has all the equipment you need to accomplish this goal. Despite its small size, there's plenty of equipment to use. I've been going for six months, starting as a white collar novice lifter who had never used a barbell in his life and didn't understand how chalk was used. The team here has supported my training, taught me the skills, and made it fun, healthy, and respectful. Now, I spend 3-4 days a week lifting heavy things, challenging my body to get stronger, and learning from some of the best athletes. I leave chalky and exhausted, and motivated to come back again. Strength training is one component of health and gyms like Roswell Barbell are exactly what people need, not the terrible big box gyms full of corporate salespeople and terribly unhealthy messaging.
