One of my friends recommended that I try Basic Training at the Mather Field Sports Complex in…read moreNovember 2012, as a means of strengthening my left shoulder. In June of 2012, I fractured the head of my left humerus playing soccer and was subsequently in a sling for six week. After my doctor told me I could finally stop wearing the sling, I spent eight weeks doing physical therapy through Kaiser, which helped improve the flexibility of my shoulder a little bit, but my range of motion was still very limited and my shoulder was weak to the point where I couldn't even do a full push-up. So, I decided to take my friend's advice and sign up for Basic Training in the hope that I would see some improvement in my shoulder. I still remember my first Basic Training class and the feeling after I finished, happy that I survived and a little dizzy from pushing myself to hard. Basic Training hasn't gotten any easier since that first class, but now I know what to expect from each class I attend and I love it. I've seen a lot of improvement in the strength and flexibility of my left shoulder and I now, almost, have my full range of motion back, plus I can do full push-ups again. In addition to the improvement in my shoulder, my core strength has increased quite a bit, which has been greatly beneficial to my speed and endurance when I run a 5K, 10K, or half-marathon. Basic Training has also helped alleviate the lower back pain I was having after running races, which I attribute to having more core strength. DI Carson and the other instructors are fantastic; they motivate you to do your best, but at your own pace, so you don't hurt yourself. They also place a lot of emphasis on doing stretches and workouts slowly and correctly, versus fast and in a way where you might injure yourself. All of the recruits I've worked out with at Mather have been very encouraging, friendly, and motivating. I never hesitate to ask someone how to do something correctly, because even after 9 months there are still workouts I've never done before. Basic Training provides a variety of different workouts, which I appreciate, because I don't like the monotony of doing the same workout over and over again. So, whether you are coming off an injury, want to improve your core strength, or really do want to get in the best shape of your life, I highly recommend that you give Basic Training a try.

I first…read morejoined for the Boot Camp and TRX style classes but found that my 50+ year old body was not responding to that so well, even though I was loving the workouts, so I decided to swap out a workout day for a day of yoga instead. I was intimidated at first. I have some, but not a lot of experience with yoga and the idea of doing it in a heated environment made me nervous. They have 60- and 90-minute classes. I started with the 60 min Yoga Basics class which is not a beginner class necessarily, its challenging for sure, but sticks to the more rudimentary poses and movements. It's a great class for all levels and the heated room was actually very nice. I was concerned I would feel like I was suffocating but that was not at all the case. It felt great and I was totally sweaty by the end of class. It's a damn good workout and everyone is very supportive and friendly. Since I've incorporated yoga 2 days a week into my regular routine and dropped the hard work outs down to only 2 days a week I'm feeling MUCH better. Less injury, more bendy, and continued to increase my strength. Bean and the gym staff are all great at what they do. Heather and rest of the yoga instructors are wonderful as well. I'm loving UFF and the range of options they offer! The only thing that I would warn anyone about is they are not super great at providing instruction in the boot camp and TRX classes. Most of the members are fairly experienced athletes and there's a lot of assumption that everyone knows what they're doing and what weight they should be using. In a class of 20+ people they don't have a lot of time to coach an individual person. I am not shy and will almost always ask for help if I'm not sure, but not everyone feels comfortable doing that. I can definitely say that when I have asked for help, I get wonderful feedback and assistance. If you're new at this type of fitness you can schedule a one-on-one with a trainer to help you sort out a lot of things ahead of time, so you don't hurt yourself during a class. 10/10 highly recommend!

I've been working out at Carmichael Underground Training since September, and it has honestly been…read moreone of the best fitness decisions I've made. Alex is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and experienced. From day one, he helped create a workout plan that actually fits my goals and lifestyle, and he's great at keeping me accountable and on track. What really stands out is how he's skilled at programming around limitations if I ever have a minor discomfort or muscle strain, he knows exactly how to adjust workouts and even help alleviate pain rather than push through it unsafely. The gym also offers yoga classes, which I've always wanted to incorporate, and that has been a huge bonus for me. Overall, the environment feels supportive and motivating, not intimidating. You can tell there's a lot of integrity here, and that the trainers genuinely care about their clients' progress and well-being. It's more than just a gym, it really feels like a fitness community that Alex has intentionally built and cultivated. Highly recommend!

I love Pilates Heartcore…read more I've been to five classes so far - two private, one virtual, and two group - and have been led by five different instructors. Each class was wonderful, as was each instructor. I'm new to Pilates - before Heartcore I had only gone to/done two studio classes fifteen years ago + a few YouTube (mat) Pilates videos over the years - so I was very nervous starting out. Each instructor made me feel welcome and very supported. In addition, when I first started taking classes, I spoke with Katie, the owner of the studio, over email many times (to schedule classes), and she was so helpful and very quick to respond. The studio itself is spacious and very clean (including the bathrooms). Also, Heartcore has no "surprises" - something I very much appreciate; all policies are posted on their website, so everything that prospective + current students need to know is there. People may need to set reminders for themselves about things - an upcoming class they registered for, the need to bring grippy socks to class (which they do sell in the studio), when to cancel your registration to a class if you won't be able to make it, etc. - but that is to be expected at almost every establishment/business. I've been a member here for just about a month, and I don't foresee myself ending my membership anytime soon (barring a faraway move or something). I look forward to each class, and I'm so excited to keep going. I love this studio!
