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.

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!

I love the combination of classes they offer through the day from 5 AM till 6 PM. This location decided to being yoga into the mix with HIIT workouts which I find highly effective. Shred415 is a mix of cross fit training. First you start on the treadmill or deck for about 15 minutes then switch. So if you were on the floor doing your cardio you go onto the treadmill. The point of it is to increase your heart rate and get the most out of the 60 minute class. At Shred415 it's not just a gym it's a community or family that has your back from the trainers to the people that show up to class with you to support you along the way in your fitness journey. I love all the trainers here and haven't had one bad class at Shred415. Just stop and see for yourself. First class is always free and right now they have a great deal going on for the holiday's.

However, that changed when I went to Powell Fitness and started training with Anthony Castore. It's not a sweaty, smelly, crowded gym with scantily clad women and perfectly coifed muscle head men who grunt. It's a very nice atmosphere with trainers and clients that are all very nice and friendly. It's clean and comfy. Anthony is the best. He is a bodybuilder but actually has a personality, a sense of humor, and he's kind. Kind is a major factor. He really wants you to get stronger and more confident. He's very knowledgable and the complete opposite of conceded and arrogant. He will sit down with you and actually WRITE stuff down about you on a piece of paper and uses a pen.Yeah, marinate on that for a minute.

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.

I wanted clarification. Does Candlewood add a $7 fee for any paper check that is sent to them? 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!
