UPDATE: After…read moreeverything described in my original review, I finally made my last payment and thought this matter was behind me. A full month later, my credit card was charged again. When I called to find out why, I was told that I was required to come in person to cancel. This was never clearly communicated to me during any of my previous conversations with staff. I then requested a manager call me back. No one did. To be fair, the employee I spoke with most recently was very polite and professional, and none of this appears to be her fault. However, the lack of communication and accountability from management has been extremely frustrating. The following day, I received a call informing me that they would be issuing a refund and asking if I would remove my Yelp review. That is not happening. Everything I have written in my review is truthful and based on my experience. If the company is concerned about negative reviews, they should focus on improving how customers are treated rather than asking customers to remove honest feedback. Being charged after I believed my account was settled, struggling to get management to respond, and then being asked to take down my review has only reinforced my concerns. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this company.

My review is for a wonderful meal prep program by dreambodybc and personal training by Marilyn. I…read morehave been on this program for 4 months and I can't live without it. I'm busy professional that really has very little time to put prepare/mealprep healthy meals for the week. The meals are customisable, VERY affordable and super nutritious. Leave it to me without the meal prepping, I would be wasting money buying unhealthy meals where I work. I want to personally thank my trainer Marilyn for being there to answer any questions I might have, being flexible and being so prompt with returning back messages. She is a great personal trainer that will work with your personal goals. I'm so blessed that our paths crossed and met another wonderful human! Guys, these are wonderful group and you wont be dissappointed --now if I can only get my butt up at 5am to join them for boot-camp, I will be a ROCK Star!

This has been the best experience ever! Never in a million years did i ever think i would I would become one of those pple who love going to the gym and working out! I actually love getting sweaty! But a big part of this has to do with the coaches! Doris, Anthony and Cyril! They are not just encouraging but motivating ! I am so grateful to this team! One of my biggest fears was trying to work out in front of other people, especially as an out of shape beginner. But there were so many members in the same boat as me and everyone from the coaches to the members made me feel safe from ridicule and made this such an amazing experience! Now I'm heading back home to PA and will miss everyone here! If you have been thinking of starting your fitness journey, just do it! You will not regret it! I don't even live in California but I signed up for the year so i can come during all future business trips out here! No joke! Thank you Doris, Cyril, Anthony and all the members!

I joined this boot camp about 3 months ago and I'm very happy with my results. I'm definitely in…read moremuch better shape than when I started. I've lost inches, weight and more importantly body fat percentage. I really like the format of this boot camp compared to the others I've attended. Two days a week are "metabolic" days where you do a lot of exercises for 30 seconds at a time. The other two days are "strength" days where you do three exercises for 10 minutes before moving on to the next station. There is also a Saturday workout that is metabolic. It's surprisingly well attended for an 8am class. For folks intimidated by the word "boot camp" who think it's going to be like a scene from Full Metal Jacket, it's nothing like that. Sam is a good trainer with a good attitude. He never yells or screams, he encourages instead. All in all, I'd recommend this boot camp to anyone interested in getting in shape.

The trainers are hype, the music keeps you moving, and the group energy is chef's kiss. Every day targets something different, so you never get bored (just sore in new places). It's efficient, no BS, and actually fun in a slightly sadistic way. Knocked off one star because I wish there were more flexible times. Bring water. And a will to live.

I just signed up for their 21 day challenge that starts Monday, September 30th for $77…read more They let me sign up early to get used to the training before the program starts for $30. So $107 for 6 weeks. They have an app called Camp onDemand that has everything you need for reaching your fitness goals - nutrition guide, workouts on demand, check ins, messages from a personal trainer checking in on your progress, even blood pressure, Fitbit, Apple Watch, Facebook, instagram etc. It measures your steps as it hooks up to your Health app. It measures sleep. It tracks your sleep. You can post progress photos etc. (see my photos of the app). Super helpful and whoever created it did an amazing job. There are multiple locations in many cities and you can drop in to sister studios for a drop in fee. But your home gym you see the same faces and everyone cheers everyone on. They have weekend meetups at hikes and Spartan race etc. So you are belonging to a community here. People have been helpful in correcting me as I'm a newbie to this type of workout (normally i do yoga or cycling - I love the Peloton). They have 2 cycles bikes here in the back near the bathroom that you can use during open hours. I don't need to use the Peloton app here because they have good workout playlists blasting music as if it were a club. A girl I met here said this place is addicting. It's good to have a healthy addiction that is improving your health and your life and your confidence. There are motivational quotes to help you as you struggle to keep up. I was hurting after a strong leg day and I tried to hop on the treadmill and it wasn't a normal treadmill. I asked the trainer where the easy machines were. She said there weren't any and it's meant to be like that. This place is meant for transformation. There are before and after photos of people's workout journeys. They have contests and keep track of how much weight everyone is losing etc. They have a meal plan service. They sell supplements (they have a supplement of the week). Tony has been great in informing me about the club. Everyone has been super friendly and motivating and they have so much energy and can do things I didn't know I could do. It's great to learn all these new ways to workout and get fit. I'm trying for the 20 lbs in 6 weeks. I'll post an update and let y'all know :) The giant fan on the ceiling is cool too. They have an ice cold water machine (hot water too). Remember to drink your protein shake before a workout. Protein. Hydrate. Collagen for joints. Eat healthy. Bone broth. Vitamins. Nutrients. Limit your processed foods and carbs and fats. They have a scale in the office to weigh yourself on. I'm only on Day 3 so come join me in the next 6 week challenge. They have monthly rates after the challenge of course. Anyways, loud motivating music with great instructors early in the am - workout times are 5am, 6am, 8am and 9am and 5pm, 6pm and 7:25pm. They also have open gym hours. Check out my photos for more information. Come join and let's get fit together for Halloween :)

What a great gym! My previous gym closed so I had to look for a new gym…read more Was hesitant at first, but so glad I gave it a shot because I now look forward to coming. All coaches have great energy, take time to correct our form and pump us up! The gym is a smaller gym that uses an app to have us book our classes. The more popular classes get full so it's best to book a couple days in advance, but other than that I can always book same day if need be. Workouts are great, tough, but love them! They also have a recovery room that you can book. It has cool recovery equipment. Great place if you're looking for a smaller gym!

I was genuinely excited to try STRIDE Fitness. My schedule is busy, and I'm trying to create more…read moretime for structured fitness classes. After receiving a steady stream of marketing emails and text messages, I finally booked a class for Friday at noon. When I scheduled it, I explained that noon would be tight because of work. I was told it would be better to arrive at 11:45, and I said I would try. What I was not told was that arriving even a few minutes after noon would mean I could not participate at all. Had that been made clear, I would not have driven across town only to be turned away at the front door. I completely understand that it is best for everyone to arrive on time, especially for a first class. But life does not always allow for perfect timing, and businesses serving working adults should understand that. I arrived only a few minutes late, not halfway through the workout. For context, I coached CrossFit for several years, and I cannot remember us ever turning someone away for being a few minutes late. We encouraged people to arrive early and would quietly help late arrivals get caught up when possible. We would rather have someone complete 90% of a workout than receive no workout at all. The mere idea of turning a customer (especially a prospective customer) away from a workout to me feels unfathomable. What stood out most was the contrast between STRIDE's aggressive efforts to get me in the door and the complete lack of discretion once I arrived. They had no problem repeatedly contacting me by email and text, but could not extend a few minutes of grace to a prospective member whose scheduling concerns had already been communicated. Maybe this policy works for them, but it cost them a customer before I ever stepped on a treadmill. If you are considering STRIDE, be aware that they appear to enforce their arrival policy without exception. If work, traffic, or life puts you even a few minutes behind, do not expect any flexibility.

Personal training with Maddie…read more I truly enjoy working with Maddie as my personal trainer. I started training with her to address some deficiencies related to an injury, and she immediately created a customized plan that took my limitations into account while protecting me from further harm. Maddie makes every workout enjoyable with her easygoing personality. She strikes the perfect balance between pushing me and encouraging me without ever feeling overbearing. She's incredibly knowledgeable about body mechanics, anatomy, and movement, and always demonstrates each exercise beforehand so I have a clear visual. What I appreciate most is how attentive she is during each session. Maddie gives real time cues on my form, which not only helps protect my injury but also ensures I'm building strength and muscle correctly. Her fun banter makes the sessions something I genuinely look forward to, while still challenging me enough to keep progressing. I cannot recommend Maddie enough as a personal trainer, book now!
