I love coming here! I was considering other group exercise programs in the area, but I saw the website for FBBC and looked into it. I have also been a member at both major local gyms and I wasn't getting the motivation or results I needed. I am very happy I decided to give FBBC a try.
The trainers and owner are all awesome, friendly, extremely knowledgable, empowering, and great role models. I feel like my body is being challenged with every workout, it never gets boring because everyday is different, I have the flexible schedule of classes a busy mom needs, I am motivated to come in everyday, I am not being judged by other gym members, I am getting in 30 minutes what I got at the regular gym in 1 hour, and I am feeling good about myself. I joined for the 21 day challenge, but I liked it so much that I decided to get a regular membership.
The price is much less than other workout programs like this, the schedule is much better for times of classes than the local gyms, I can workout before my kids are awake in the am so I do not need to dress my kids for daycare and haul them with me, it only takes 30 minutes to burn between 350-450 calories (Monitored via FitBit), the trainers remember me and my name, everyone talks to each other and is friendly, there are no mirrors and you do not feel intimidated by the atmosphere or other members, and the atmosphere really is very welcoming and comfortable for women of all ages. A few men come here too, but the environment is different than other places and it feels non-judgmental, non-masculine, non-body builder/Bro-tein shake hangout, civilian friendly, and safe. If someone is grunting next to you during their workout, it is because they are getting their butt kicked in the workout not because they are getting their swell on in the mirror while admiring themself.
I have a healing workplace injury, the trainers here work with me each class to modify and meet my needs. I feel that next to physical therapy, this is the best thing I have done for my body since being injured a year ago. The women in my classes range from young adult to older woman, so everyone can enjoy FBBC. They measure me, my weight, take my pictures, my BMI, and total body fat at regular intervals plus they give me access to Fit Client to track my progress. You sign up for classes and do everything on your computer, so no need to go in to change a payment method. The owner is setting up with the owner of another FBBC in Florida, for me to go to that gym while traveling.
This is a really great option in SOMD that I highly recommend! read more
