After relocating to DFW from the San Francisco area, I thought NexGen would be a great choice for…read morecontinuing to work towards my health and fitness goals. After researching Yelp for a new gym, I took advantage of the "free workout" (read: sales pitch) and ultimately decided to agree to a 25 session package after some haggling. Unfortunately, NexGen just didn't live up to my expectations for multiple reasons: 1. The service marketed to prospective clients is not delivered once the sale is closed. The training plan is not personalized, not shared with the client and often delivered by trainers that are not familiar with the client and their goals. Further, the initial baseline assessment, sold as part of the package, is billed as a training session. By agreeing to the training package, you should expect a trainer (often the same trainer, but not always) to push you through a general workout which is not designed for your needs and goals. 2. The trainers operate as though they are on a shot clock rather than focusing on truly coaching their clients. I don't think that this is on the trainers since I got the feeling that there is more focus on cranking out sessions, turning clients, and ending on time (early) to ensure the next session isn't impacted. For a discount trainer, I would say that this is fine, however NexGen is charging a minimum of $75/hr, a price that should command elite service and attention. 3. Questionable sales tactics and marketing. This is really what moved me to write this review. I went back and forth a few times, because the trainers are good here, and the service offering may work for some people. That said, I think it's important to point out that it's not a coincidence that NexGen has all 5 start reviews. They offer free sessions for reviews 5 star reviews!! One session for Yelp and an additional session for Google and Facebook. As someone who relies on the objectivity and quality of these reviews and ratings, I am appalled by this offer and the amount of people (with very few reviews) who have fallen for the tactic. Beyond the review issue, I just don't believe the value proposition is there for NexGen. If I had to summarize this training facility, I would do so by highlighting that it operates using a franchise, plug-and-play business model. I believe this approach conflicts with providing high-quality services, such as personal training. I think the trainers are talented and capable. However, the services and price point are misaligned. My advice: Look around and if you decide to give NexGen a try, don't be afraid to negotiate a bit before you sign (# of sessions and price/session).

However, after speaking to the owner, Justin, I decided to give it a shot. I am extremely satisfied with the results I received in two short months of working out with Nick.

Overall, I feel & look stronger and it has been a very positive experience. Give them a shot!

I have spent the last five years working with multiple trainers, but working with Chad has by far been the best experience. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about everything related to fitness and health and I cannot say that about every trainer I have worked with in the past. My schedule is constantly changing due to travel for work, but Chad always makes an effort to get me into the gym when I am home. He is a great communicator and very reliable, which is so appreciated with a hectic schedule! I highly recommend that anyone looking to better their health, no matter their fitness goals, consider joining ICON. Simply put, training with Chad has improved my quality of life and I am very thankful to have found him.

I've done the gym membership thing, doing HIIT on machines, but I wanted something more personal to ensure I got the results I was looking for. Strengthening my core, losing some weight and improving my overall health were my goals, and Chase has worked with me along the way to achieve that. I love the free-weight workouts, the one-on-one coaching to make sure my technique was right, minimizing risk of injury. And I know that Chase has cared about my overall health journey in personalizing my plan. This made working out fun and something I could look forward to. Even when working out at home, Chase provides my "homework" plan and has reviewed video of technique to keep me on track. I highly recommend!

The concept: Hero Training is LIKE personal training and can make you get the kind of body you…read morewant. You can show them a picture of who you want to look like, body wise, and they will get you there. They will set you up an account and take before pictures and then take pictures of you like every month, I think, or 6 weeks (that part is foggy). You are supposed to be able to access your account (for some reason they never gave me my access info although I asked for it) so that you can look at your pictures. You should also receive a meal plan, which they try to say people pay $100 alone for that (I call bs on that one). This plan is based on your height and weight (I had to keep asking for mine) to help you get started on losing inches. A new meal plan is also supposed to be given to you every time you take new pic. (Never got my new one). Workouts: They have the women's work out and men's separate on TV screens through out the gym. On thing that I wondered was, if your trying to get an ideal picture body type (the way you want to look) then how are you going to do that by doing the same exercise everyone else is doing? Moving on, the trainers show you how to lift properly and have good form. It's kind of like personal training except that they have a few staff members walk around and help you as you go along. Everyday you workout different muscles. Monday's are leg days, Tuesday's you work on triceps and shoulder muscles, Wednesday work on biceps and back. Thursday leg muscles again... The music kind of sucks since they are always playing whatever music the trainers feel like, mostly rap and hip hop (kind of annoying to me but not a deal breaker). After a while you get the hang of how to lift properly and they don't help you so much anymore. They focus on the new people. So then since you have the knowledge of how to workout and lift, you kind of wonder why you need that gym anymore. Why pay $100-$150 when you don't really need their help anymore? The trainers are nice enough but they are a bit immature and gravitate to the young crowd. Financial part of it: The price wishy washy, they try to get you to pay $150 but then go to a $100 a month and try to act like they are giving you a great deal both times. Even their "special" pricing or "Black Friday" special is minimum $100 a month. They won't ever go lower than that. At the time there was no contract but you have to tell them a month in advance before leaving. So all in all its not a bad gym, it served it purpose. I just hated spending $100 a month when I could pretty much take things into my own hands without much help. I just felt like there were some inconsistencies with meal planning and not being able to access my account and the workouts not really being geared to make me look like that Pinterest model I so hoped to be like. In the end I was fit and lost inches and just purchased my own weights to do the workouts by myself. I could just never get rid of certain belly fat so I just used $100 a month to pay on Coolsculpting instead (yes that did work).

I've been going to this gym off and on for almost 3 years. Its been off and on because I live an…read morehour away. I am willing to drive 2 hours round trip to experience the atmosphere. It's $100 a month, most people would gawk at that, but personal training and meal plan help are built into the membership. The last meal plan I purchased elsewhere was $150, and it was a generic low fat, eat chicken, fish and green beans kind of deal. At Hero, they showed me how to customize it, and make it more appetizing. The Coaches are always available to answer questions and help in any way possible. The workouts are designed to help everyone achieve their goals(99% of goals are, "I want to tone up" or "look good in a bikini"), and however closely you follow the plan determines how quickly you get there. The workouts are posted daily, men's and women's, they are not generic, but strategic to looking the way everyone wants to look. If you want to bulk up, you're going to have a different diet and supplement plan, if you want to tone, do the women's workouts and they will give you a meal plan for that based on your body composition. With that being said, I love the energy in this gym. It's always positive and uplifting, there is excitement in the air, and everyone is so helpful. I have 2 gym memberships, this one and a cheap gym In my area. Even after having memberships with Anytime, LA, and 25hr over the years, none compare to the atmosphere here. If you want to try it out, message me!!! I'll go with you!!!!
