Planet Fitness of Salem just keeps getting worse. You have jammed up machines with people sitting…read moreon them and on their phones for hours and I mean hours at a time. Soap dispencers are empty, bathrooms dirty. Teenagers are loud, disruptive, playing chase, tying up machines, standing in the way of people passing, rough housing, and now in the middle of main areas playing hackey sack so you can't get by and use the machines. This place is way overpacked, the machines need to be updated and people need to be told to get off their phones and workout. If you don't workout stand aside and let the people workout who want to workout. For $19 a month this is what you get.

I just moved back to NH after living in Los Angeles for 10+ years. Living in L.A. all those years,…read moreI have had all sorts of memberships: gyms, Crossfit, Pilates, Cardiobarre, Pop Physique, Spinning, etc. Seriously nothing has been as effective and easy to stick with as Orangetheory. It's ironic that it's -after- I leave body-conscious L.A. that I get to know such a great workout. I'm a single mom with a toddler who works full-time (40+ hours/week). My free time is very limited, so I need something focused. Initially I was going to join a local gym since I thought it more cost effective. Yes, there are gyms with cheap $10 or more per month memberships, but many of the reviews of those cheaper gyms comment about how equipment is frequently broken, bathrooms are dirty, and staff and customer service are uncaring. Also, even though I would run miles on the treadmills or spend a long time on the ellipticals and lift some weights, I wasn't really seeing results. Having a coach or trainer definitely helps, as do the heart rate monitors that OTF has so that you can track your progress during the classes. With Orangetheory no workout is ever the same, so you're never bored. Within just an hour you get a great workout. And there are all ranges of ages and athletic ability in the classes, so you're not dealing with just thin women and gym bros. Classes are relatively small, so for the price you pay you're practically getting a personalized trainer workout. Personal trainer sessions normally run $100+ per visit at most gyms, but you're paying that for a full month/8 classes at OTF, so it's a good deal when you think about it. I would rather pay my $99/month (8 classes/month) versus $10/month at the cheap places since the results have been great. I consider it an investment in myself and you get what you pay for with the cheaper gyms. I'm now down to my pre-pregnancy weight after just a few months. (Actually, a few pounds less than my pre-pregnancy weight.) If $99/month is a little out of your price range, just cut that cost somewhere else and reinvest it here in yourself. And, perhaps your health insurance offers a partial gym membership reimbursement like mine does, so you get back some of the cost. And membership is billed monthly, so you don't have to get stuck in long complicated contracts. And the staff are great! Not the disinterested jaded staff that you find at most gyms. Just a great place all around.

Mind you, I'm on week two of my fitness journey, but I will say that they have a very welcoming environment that has already pushed me to actually show up every day! From the layout, staff and other members who are in various stages of their fitness goals. Very encouraging environment and one that I have attended daily since joining. Kris and Nick are great trainers - personable, focused on ensuring that the circuit type training is lined up to your skill set all while doing so in an encouraging manner - not the 'in your face' type trainers that are out there. And I need to add - these guys really know their stuff. Amazing the difference in my core strength heading into my second week. Without question I would recommend Build U for anyone looking for an alternative to the standard gym setup, who is focused on seeing progress.

Training in a group atmosphere gives you added support, teamwork and motivation. Also allows you to be a part of a group that is going through the same changes and struggles that you are faced with. For most this will be a major lifestyle change. Statistics show that people who work out with a group have greater results and stick with the fitness regimen longer or until they have met their fitness goals. Bodyworks Fitness classes are taught by Paula Goodwin, owner of Bodyworks Fitness with over 20 years experience training groups of people with different fitness levels. My commitment to you is to help you in any way I can to get positive, visible results that will support and motivate you to stay on track!
