I had heard about FT for several years but had never taken the time to visit one. After several…read moreyears of joining gyms and accomplishing very little, I finally decided to give them a try. SImply put, working with a personal trainer made all the difference in the works for me. I had tried some of the trainers at the gyms, but they just do not compare to the staff at FT. I joined in January and 5 months later can say that I can see and feel the difference. By no means is this an inexpensive endeavor, but "you get what you pay for" would definitely fit the bill here. I work out 3 times a week with 2 different trainers and could not be more pleased with their knowledge and attention to detail. I still have more to accomplish, but I finally can feel that something is happening!

The staff is super friendly, very knowledgeable and they made exercising fun. I was greeted every time with a smile. The facility is very clean. My personal training sessions were with Kevin and I enjoyed every one of them. Kevin made it interesting and fun. He is very knowledgeable and professinal. I had one group class with Kacey and I enjoyed that too very much. I give Aaron and his staff 5 stars.

Anyways, Jennifer is an amazing personal trainer and motivator. Her personal training sessions are energizing and make you feel like you want to come back (which is like half the battle for me)! She motivates you from within and makes you feel empowered with the decisions that you make. I'm a stay at home mom so it's hard for me to find time to work out and it was so easy to schedule with her. I haven't been able to make her group classes but I'm so eager to join them. I hear they're really fun! You're in really good hands with Jennifer if you decide to get in shape and change your life!

Out and about running errands, I decided it was time to get a workout in. This isn't my home club,…read morebut the Black Card makes it simple to drop into any Planet Fitness in the network. Parking was easy in the large strip mall lot. I even noticed another RV tucked off to the side and wondered if they were staying overnight. I'm not in mine today, but it's something to keep in mind for future trips. Inside, it was a quick scan of my membership and straight to the locker room. This is a big facility with plenty of stair steppers and treadmills all lined up facing a wall of televisions. After changing out of street clothes and into workout gear, I stretched a bit and then spent some time on the treadmill watching a Law & Order episode before moving on to curls and lifts. There's enough equipment here to make everything feel easy and comfortable. Back in the locker room, I grabbed a quick shower. The changing cabin was roomy, and the shower had lots of hot water, though the pressure dipped now and then when a toilet flushed. Shelf space was limited for a razor and other things, but still better than some PFs I've used. I wrapped up in the Black Card spa, which was a comfortable place to wind down and check my phone before heading out. I'm not a tanning bed person, and one of these days I really will try the hydrochair. And with an appetite building, it was time for lunch.

My trainer recommended him for that reason and he has been a huge help for back issues as well as my shoulder and overall tune up.

The temperature is perfect and I've been to an AF at another location that was a bit too warm on several visits. There are nutritional snacks available for purchase on an honor system as well as free Keurig coffee and to go cups with lids. I also like that they have a prayer request box located at the entrance. Update 9/4/19: Happy to be back in a routine this week at my home bas gym. I enjoyed the ability to work out all summer at AF during travels. Nothing like being "home". Mike asked how I've been and we chatted for a moment about the cardio boxing class being offered in September. I highly recommend AF Sardis for the friendly staff.

Brian (BY) customizes the workouts himself, and it's next level -- far better than competitive gyms that just buy their programming online. The workouts are genuinely challenging, change every single day, and offer incredible variety, so you never get bored or stale. The coaching is excellent. They provide clear direction and hands-on training while recognizing that everyone is at a different point in their CrossFit journey. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just learning the basics, they scale the workouts so every member can succeed. Most importantly, Kaiju has a tremendous culture. I've made so many friends here, and that community is the heart of the gym. There's a class for everyone -- CrossFit, weightlifting, cardio, Hyrox, yoga (a recent and welcome addition), and even an entry-level course for those just getting started. They run classes seven days a week, including Sunday, when most CrossFit gyms are closed. Several of us compete in local competitions, and the members are there every step of the way with encouragement and support. That motivation keeps us pushing to work harder and give our best every time we walk in the door. Kaiju is next level. I haven't found a gym that compares, you won't be disappointed!

I recently moved to the Matthews area and originally joined a different "box". I spent 3 months there and felt ignored, uncoached, and unmotivated. I was struggling to find the desire to go to classes and eventually stopped going altogether. I decided to drop in to Kaiju and give it a try. After 3 classes at Kaiju, I got what I had been seeking for 3 months at the other gym. Brian and Joey have been so pivotal in helping me find my motivation again in the 3 short weeks that I've been attending classes. The 9am class has been so wonderful and welcoming. I am looking forward to continuing my fitness goals with Crossfit Kaiju.
