I had already taken a variety of other Lagree classes before but I definitely needed a refresher on how to use the reformer. Olivia was thorough and listened to the needs of others who needed accommodations/modifications. She was also super motivated and challenged our class with her workout set. I came out the studio with my whole body quivering! The studio is very bright and allows for so much sunlight which I love. However, there seemed to be a little bit of a light funk of body odor that lingers throughout the place.

Then, later that week during my session, he seemed very angry but incredibly passive aggressive. He said I could not reschedule and he's keeping my $75 for that session. I was shocked, caught off-guard because I followed his guidelines. I went back and looked at my texts, not only did I follow his policy, but we supported his business through covid so you'd think we would have at least ONE conversation over the 1.5 years in regards to rescheduling or his dissatisfaction. Since day 1, I was very open about how we needed flexibility in our busy schedules. Later that week, he texted me wanting to drop us as clients (surprised, but completely fine with it) and said he'd refund my 8 sessions for the rest of the month. Well, I can clearly count to 9, so I let him know he owed me for 2 sessions (Sunday + this one). Yeah, he tried to steal from us 2 times. I gave him a chance to explain himself, this was the professional and kind response I got from him via text, he told us to go F*** ourselves (see screenshot, thanks Keith for the evidence!). I also noticed he did not honor his off-peak hours 9am-11am at $40/session. Beware of this owner and his business practices. I will be going back to all my monthly Venmo payments to ensure he didn't overcharge us. More than happy to resolve this issue still and looking to get our money back. Next step will be to report to consumer protection bureaus. I will update this review if anything changes.

It's a great spot for your classic gym work-out's, but also as a change in pace for those who work from home (there's a separate work space where you can also rent out private room). Noise level is typically lively. Parking in the main lot is difficult especially after work or at noon (during weekday's) and is generally packed during the weekend - of note, there's an alternative parking lot to the side of the main lot for Bay Club-specific parking (approximately 5min walk). SERVICE Service was friendly, overall, as you're typically greeted by those at the front desk, which is lovely. I'd say there is room for improvement for my tour/meeting with the membership director when I first looked at Bay Club Courtside, as it felt that my question's were more of annoyances and that he wanted the meeting to be over with sooner than later. STANDOUT DETAIL What stood out most to me was the overall atmosphere and vibe - it feels like I'm going on vacation to a resort everytime I enter (rather than a gym). I've never paid a monthly fee for a gym until now, and I'll say it's absolutely worth it! Overall, I'd highly recommend Bay Club Courtside!

While I get that they "have plans in the works" to help remedy the issue, what I don't understand is why they block an entire row of parking spaces - including a handicap space(!!!) - all day for kids summer club drop off and pick up. I find it hard to believe that there isn't a better solution that doesn't include removing the availability of so many parking spaces. At peak times it's like The Hunger Games trying to find a spot. They've been very aware that the parking situation is bad, but they pushed to increase membership numbers without a plan in place first and now everyone is being inconvenienced. The other issue is the members themselves. I'd say the vast majority are wonderful and polite, but since the push to increase membership I've observed more rude and gross behavior. Members getting in verbal fights with other members, classes being overcrowded and causing aggravation because of space issues, etc. Locker room behavior ranges from people behaving like slobs and leaving towels on the floor versus putting them in the bin when done to cell phone conversations in the locker room to using hair dryers to dry underwear on the vanity countertop. These are things I'd expect at a budget gym, not at Courtside. I know they can't police poor behavior and hygiene but this is the result when you allow adding more members at a much lower rate to a main member's account. I get that it's expensive to operate these kinds of facilities. But for what I'm paying I am beginning to wonder if the grass is greener (and less expensive) elsewhere...

She places a high value on correct form with each exercise so I feel I am working each muscle group to its maximum. She motivates me to push past my perceived limits to get results that I want.

When I walked in, I noticed a good vibe to the place! Self-employed businesses are near and dear to my heart, as my parents had their own business. It takes a lot of self-discipline, ambition and love for what you do in order to run your own business. Coaches Brett and Denise have all of those qualities because they love transforming people into a better version of themselves! Their passion and focus is on training people - which is where they spend the majority of their time. Since joining the gym, I have lost 25 pounds to date! I did the 6 week challenge and am doing one of their VIP challenges currently. I am on target to lose my goal weight loss by my birthday, due to their support. They motivate, inspire and provide the tools you need in order to achieve your goal. Be clear, it is your goal, and your motivation to be receptive to their feedback, their instructions and their guidance. You must hold yourself accountable for your choices, in order to truly succeed! The workouts are challenging, diversified and sometimes partner-based. You get to interact with really great people, have fun, despite the sweat pouring down your face. You can even get a little 'friendly' competition using the MyZone trackers and their monthly leaderboard of the top 20 trainers for the month. If you are into sharing High-Fives with your workout mates, and hearing your coach cheering you on, this is the place for you! The gym is now my happy place - it provides a great environment, full of positive, encouraging people to cheer you along, fun music, the random jokes while working out, but definitely with the coaches cheering you along during your workouts! It is common for Coach Denise to come alongside you and encourage you to work hard and achieve success! So, if you are looking for a great workout environment, then AFTC is the place to be.

This was my first time there and I already can't wait to go back. I'm especially excited to try their Pilates classes and the Tonal machines -- they're actually the only gym in the area that has them, which is such a cool perk. Shazia was amazing. She's hilarious, incredibly kind, and so encouraging throughout the entire class. She somehow made a tough workout fly by because the energy was just so positive and fun. I was also fasting during the workout (Ramadan!), so it definitely wasn't easy, but I left feeling so good and accomplished. I also really appreciate that it's a women's-only class, which makes it such a comfortable environment -- especially for me as someone who wears hijab. Overall such a great vibe, great instructor, and great facility. Would one million percent recommend!

Personal Training review (haven't tried the group classes yet)…read more Shazia (and Tabatha) are amazing. I have followed them both from when they were trainers at another (now bankrupt) gym and even worked with them during COVID virtually. Shazia and I can be very humorous together and it's always a great time as I'm whining and complaining that I'm paying her to make me do heavy and exhausting exercises. Don't let that deter you though. Shazia loves to mix things up with her exercises and I'm always impressed by her vast knowledge of things to do to still target the same muscle groups. If you have an injury, she's quick on her feet to adjust any exercise or pivot entirely from her original game plan to accommodate. I had to stop working with her when I was sentenced to bed rest and I noticed how much of my mobility and strength had increased. She will challenge me and work progressively up in weights without overburdening me. Contrary to belief, I DON'T have to leave sore after every training workout to know it was a good one. She has an impeccably keen eye for form. She tells me if my hips are not aligned when I barely notice or that my feet aren't positioned correctly to do the exercise efficiently. She's also a stickler for making sure equipment is wiped after every contact so you know things are clean when you touch it. This place is SUPER women friendly (though not limited to only women). Because it's much smaller studio, you don't have to worry about too many other people being in the same space. I'm always leaving feeling great and knowing that she cares about my progress.

Warning the classes can be overwhelming to someone new with the loud music and all the different timers and beeping throughout the class. Suggestion to people to focus on the movement more than the timing. Suggestion to BFT to be mindful of the level of the music. There are small lockers to put stuff away. The location is small meaning there are no showers. They have restrooms and a water station and a small instant coffee station. I prefer small classes and this place is super close to me so these issues are not a deal breaker for me. The staff are super nice. They try hard to build a community building new programs to support clients. They are helpful to show one on one how to correctly complete the movement. I don't know about pricing as this is the first time I have ever had to pay for a gym. They are flexible to pause your membership or modify whatever program you are in. I highly suggest to try at least one cardio and one strength classes before committing.

I have a few injuries and have always felt self conscious about not being able to keep up. The coaches are very supportive in modifying them to allow my body to gain the strength I need without hurting myself. This place is more than just a gym; It's a community! I'll definitely be around for a while!
