I don't know where I put it, all I know now is that I got to looking a little too much like a big ball of pudding. Nobody wants that. Gym trainers are one thing. I've dealt with them in the past. Expensive, and crappy. They're not as interested in you as they are in the act of blowing kisses to themselves in the mirror between sets. All you are is a means to an end. Not here. Joe and Frank are something else entirely. These fellas are completely and entirely invested in helping you reach your goals. And maybe you don't want to be Arnold, but you don't want to look like you were carved out of pudding either. They're realistic. No one-size fits all nonsense. Because you're not a cookie-cutter person, and these aren't cookie-cutter trainers. Trust me. I know. Every day I get a bit stronger, and a bit less pudding. Stop wasting time on inferior trainers. Invest your time with someone who is invested in you.

Simon took the time to understand my fitness goals, develop the workouts, get me back into shape and motivate me to achieve my goals.

Having been a personal trainer myself, I have very high standards for what I expect out of a…read morefitness coach. Rob Emege surpasses every expectation and then some. His expertise, execution, ability to motivate and holistic approach make him a very effective trainer. My wife has been working out with Rob since 2010 and achieved excellent results. I was busy powerlifting at that time, I was strong and happy so I saw no need for a trainer. Out of curiosity, I joined a Crossfit gym; this experience left me weak and injured. Coupled with increasing demands from work, I grew inconsistent with my workouts and slipped terribly out of shape. Despite my efforts, I could not make any progress and became frustrated. With encouragement from my wife, I finally put my ego aside and jumped into a 6 week regime with Rob. This was the best fitness decision I have made. I lost 9lbs, become stronger, greatly improved my cardiovascular strength and increased my energy levels tenfold with just 3 workouts per week and a clean diet. Rob has helped get back on track and even addressed some gaps in my fitness that existed even I was powerlifting. He recommended some changes in my technique for the big lifts (squat, deadlock, and bench press) - this helped increase my power and eliminated some nagging joint pain that would occur after performing these lifts in the past. I have made tremendous progress with Rob and I view this as just the beginning. I am confident and excited to see what we can achieve - without a doubt, it will be far more than anything I could accomplish on my own. I highly recommend Rob for individuals of any any fitness level!

When I finally had a month without going out of town I signed up for the $10 intro month for new clients. This is such a great deal since each class is $10 plus. You go twice and it paid for itself. The yoga was challenging and the room was hot. I splurged on a thick yoga mat and non slip towel from Amazon so that I was prepared. I signed up for 26 and 2 which is a hot yoga that incorporates 26 poses twice. I went at my own pace. When I felt I needed to sit, I just sat and breathed and did not try to overdo it. I would say that the heat does make you stretch a bit more than without. I did not realize my body could bend the way it did without injuring myself. The feeling afterwards is exhilarating! You start off standing for half the poses and then you get to lay down for the rest. It ends with a breathing exercise and the best part is when she lets you meditate in the dark and hands you an ice cold lavender oil towel. I absolutely love it! I think this is for everyone. There were beginners as well as advanced, while some just layed on their backs for the sauna effect. Pooja is the owner and instructor and her voice is so soothing but still very persuasive to push yourself. Every time I leave the class, I'm at least 10 lbs lighter from sweating. I feel so accomplished like I did something good for my body and my mind. Self care is not Selfish, it's mandatory. When I drive my 25 mns. Back to my house all I can think about is when can I go back? I need to book again.

The space is practical in how it's set up and I loved how open it is. So many Pilates / Yoga studios in the area are missing this aspect! I didn't expect the level of intensity to be high but it was a great burn! Katie is great in instructing breath work and the exercises, which I appreciate. The room was quite toasty, about 98-100 degrees F, which was great bc I prefer a class like this. My only critique is that the playlist wasn't my favorite and was a bit sleepy but not a big deal. Overall my experience at Union Yoga Studio is a 10/10! O, also! I forgot to mention that the community here is incredible & diverse!! I was observing the interactions between the other attendees and wanted to call this out. Always a plus to see this.

The online…read morereservation site has all the details on lot size, electricity info, distance to showers, etc. However, it's limited in showing different dates, which is frustrating. Anyway, the check-in time is 3pm and check-out is 1pm. We paid fifty-three dollars per night for two adults and one dog, with a six fifty reservation charge. Check-in was easy, and the attendant was helpful; you just drive up to the office, check-in and go on your way. The layout is similar to a subdivision with cul-de-sacs and each spot having its own little yard, making it feel somewhat like camping in the woods. Our neighbors were quiet and most vehicles drove slowly. Everyone we met was pleasant and friendly. The camp itself was clean and easy to hook up. Bathrooms and showers were clean and there was plenty of toilet paper. Large trash bins were available along with gray water stations. The only thing I'd suggest is for the site identifiers to be repainted, as several had faded over time. We visited the beach, but didn't go swimming, given the temperature. The pond is catch and release and seemed maintained and not stagnant. The budget limitations need to be considered before passing judgment. We used bug spray every day and that seemed to help keep the bugs away. The site we booked had a level surface and plenty of room to back in. The water and electrical were easily accessible and worked fine. A lot of campers used an inline water filter. The water quality report is on the park website for anyone interested. The grass was well trodden, making a camp rug a must-have. There was also a fire pit with a grill attached, but we didn't use it to cook. Also, at the time, there wasn't a burn ban. Overall it was an enjoyable experience and we'll definitely return. It was fun to walk down the aisles and see all the setups and decorations and note future camp site options. How many campers are long-timers, it's hard to tell. But we were pleased and our dog loved exploring on our walks.

Members, using ACH have experienced Candlewood taking money out of their checking account long after they have moved. Others have had deductions for charges they have not known they had. I don't like having money deducted from my checking account when no statement is ever sent out. I rarely contact the office and am patient when I do, but I have found them unresponsive. How hard is it to hit reply to my email and answer my question "is there a $6.95 fee for every paper check Candlewood lake receives"? So 5 stars for the lake, 2 stars for the office averages to3.5 stars minus .5 stars for aggravation!
