I've been with Core well over a decade now, 13-14yrs? It's one of the BEST decisions I've ever…read moremade. Aside from the great people I've met & become close friends with, Core has kept me strong & even improved my strength, & I'm no spring chicken! Last summer I broke my ankle in 3 places. I did a good job. I improved at a rate well past my & my doctor's expectations. I sincerely owe that to Core. My physical therapists often commented on my rapid progress. At 70 + I was progressing better than many at 3 decades my junior, according to my PT's. I'm not competing, but I KNOW that without my time at Core, I would have been in for a very, very long recuperation. Eric, my trainer at Core consulted with my PT's & I was back at Core before I knew it. He's helped me through many issues of the "ageing" body.- rotator cuff, the broken ankle, various muscle issues. I'm very active, have horses, I need to stack hay, & I want to keep riding. Core has kept me as strong as I can be, and mobile. That's all I can ask for as I age (gracefully I hope, instead of "Calamity Pat") I have all the clothes & "things" I need - what better way to spend my money on my strength, balance, and mobility? None. That's the answer. Thought I knew a lot about exercise - Pilates, yoga, ran 10 & 5K's, riding etc. I didn't know as much as I thought I did. I'm still learning, thanks to Core. Obviously, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Take their trial offer. For the record I do not own any stock in Core Health & Fitness.

Well I wrote a pretty WINDY review 7 years ago , but my enthusiasm knew no bounds. I'm still with…read moreCORE, and again one of the best things I've ever done for myself. The best individualized workout programs, great atmosphere, & wonderful CORE members. My goal is to stay as strong and mobile for as long as I can, & CORE is making it happen. I did this balance move on a Bosu ball for a challenge at CORE 7 yrs ago (that's not CORE in the background, it's my studio). I'm going to try to do it ONCE more, this year before I turn 71. I'll try to get an updated photo, if I can't do it, I'll retire this photo. Can't rest on my laurels, such as they be. They're stuck with me, I can't imagine not being a member of CORE. Do yourself a favor & try their introductory offer, as I did 10 years ago! Be GOOD to YOURSELF!

The gym is gorgeous and Rob is the perfect workout cheerleader. I was never able to stick to an…read moreexercise routine at a gym before because I get easily bored, but Rob keeps my workout varied and fun. You get personalized attention and you have the entire gym to yourself during each workout session. I have a very demanding work schedule too, but Rob always works with me to make sure I get the exercise I need to stay healthy and reduce stress. I should also say that I've always struggled with high cholesterol and my levels went down 15% after 6 months of working out at Body Mechanix. Highly recommend it!

I am very disappointed to write this review, but Burn Fitness 24-7 is demonstrating a staggering…read moretolerance of a gym member who has verbally harassed, sexually harassed, bullied, and intimated another gym member without provocation. This has occurred on two separate occasions over the last month. After the first encounter, the gym owner had a discussion with the man in question where several conditions and responses to his behavior were reportedly discussed. During the second encounter with this man, he demonstrated blatant disregard for all of the conditions presented by the gym owner. He sexually harassed me and reiterated hateful and inappropriate speech he used during the first encounter. He told the gym owner, verbatim, that the intent of his behavior during the first encounter was "to scare her" and that his actions were justified. His membership was not suspended or revoked. The gym owner did then post a Code of Conduct in the gym saying "Failure to do so [conduct yourself in a manner that abides by our Code of Conduct] can result in termination." However, this was absolutely a hollow gesture, as the man in question has broken every item on the Code of Conduct without his membership being terminated. The gym owner told me that there is effectively a three strikes policy for harassment and that because I am the only one who is experiencing harassment by this man, that she is unable to make a rash decision regarding his membership. This is despite the Membership Agreement that states, The Club reserves the right to... terminate this membership immediately for any reason or no reason whatsoever." He has certainly given ample reason for his membership to be terminated. As the victim of his harassment, I am now frightened to use the gym, knowing that this man could enter and continue his harassment at any time. Although he and the gym owner did discuss him only using the gym at certain hours, he demonstrated flagrant disregard for this condition during the second encounter. Also, that plan restricts the hours that I can safely use the gym, effectively punishing me for his poor behavior instead of holding him accountable. While I don't hold Burn Fitness 24-7 responsible for this man's abhorrent actions, I do hold the gym owner responsible for tolerating his behavior and disregarding another member's safety. I provided additional information regarding these situations to the gym owner, requesting reconsideration and a response, but have not been dignified with a response. The gym owner purports that gym community is a priority, but is not taking decisive actions to demonstrate this. I am not valued, safe, or respected at this gym, and that is very disappointing.

I've had memberships at many gyms and worked with multiple personal trainers over the years. Burn…read moreFitness 24/7 is by far the best. It's so much more than a place to workout. It's a caring community lead by an owner that genuinely cares about the well being of the members. I'm always greeted by name when I come in. There's always someone there to encourage and push me on when I think I cant do one more burpee. Someone notices when I miss a class. It's so much easier to stick to a fitness an with a community of support like the one at Burn Fitness 24/7.

The pool itself is great. It's bright, clean, and usually not crowded. Locker room is in good…read morecondition except the water pressure in the shower is so low that it takes forever to take a shower. Water temperature is more suited for lap swimmers than newbies and young kids. Open swim/lap swim hours are limited and often impacted by swim meets, but price is reasonable. Almost all the staff I've dealt with at the pool is pretty nice. Katie, the manager, is especially friendly. However, Mary, the administrative assistant, is judgmental and patronizing. I don't think she likes her job. Unfortunately, she is the one who prints visit summaries. So if you need your visit summary, you'll have to be subject to her unpleasant attitude.

I started practicing yoga at Karma Flow about nine months ago (the studio is located inside The Fit…read moregym on Monroe Street). I had done a little yoga on my own, but had never really gone to a class. I met Kellie Kaddatz through personal training, and she encouraged me to try one. Since then, I've gone every week - sometimes two or three times, if I can fit it in! Kellie is a wonderful teacher, and she creates a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. She offers Peaceful Flow as well as Power Flow classes, so there are options for beginners as well as more advanced students. Mats and props are available for use at the studio. I can't say enough good things about Kellie. She's kind and caring, and wants to show you how yoga can improve your life. She's truly someone that has helped me to change mine. She offers her classes on a pay-what-you-can basis, so there's no reason not to come by. I'm very glad that I did.
