I have now adapted the morning classes into my weekly routine. I love how strong I feel after class, and love seeing the changes and results... My legs have never been so firm! Each class has a great ab/core segment, but you will find you're actually engaging your core the entire time which is great. You can start at any fitness level and literally walk in with NO idea what you're doing like I did, and soon enough your body learns the moves. The instructors really know how to challenge you (and get those muscles shaking!), but still walk around and observe each client, ensuring you're doing the moves with proper form, for safety and for best results! The instructors and regulars are all very sweet and welcoming, so there is no intimidation factor! Try a class! :)

I've be forced to find a new gym :(. I was not happy with their cancelation policy - make sure you read the fine print when you sign up!! They mandate 30 days notice of cancelation - really?!! So if you cancel at the beginning of a month you are really paying more like two months closer to 45-60 days. It's a little harsh on the wallet during inflation times.

Here's a quick summary for short attention span folks…read more This gym is expensive and worth every penny (to me). Your value prop might be different but if you want to feel good, have a staff who care about you, teach and guide you in a professional, friendly, unintimidating way, this gym is for you but you have to put in the time. My legs and back feel great which I was never able to achieve working out on my own. Marino's approach is quite different to what you are used to but you don't have to take my word for it, give them a call and setup up a free trial. 1. The facility is rectangular which lends itself well to conditioning workouts. You need the length so you can actually move. Exceptionally clean, 2 bathrooms and on nice days there is a large garage type door that is open bringing in fresh air. 2. Staff and semi private training. This is what you are paying for. Private personal trainers can cost anywhere from $40 to $70 an hour so the model at Marino's is to provide 2 to 3 trainers on the floor training several people at a time and this is done effectively because you have to schedule your time. This allows a given time slot not to be overrun upsetting trainer's attention. 3. Programs are provided based on your initial assessment and goals. Once a program is completed, another one is issued. This does several things. It keeps things fresh. Doing the same exercise routine over and over again is a guarantee you will quit a gym. It's tailored just for you and at the end of every program cycle, your input on what's working or not is taken into consideration on next program. If you injure yourself at home, develop tendonitis or any ailment that causes pain, the program can be changed at anytime to minimize your discomfort. 4. The staff (trainers and owners) are all higher Ed trained. They are all certified in CPR, defibrillators and have massage therapist onsite. Marino's has a registered dietician (RD), certified specialist in sports dietetics (CSSD). They're knowledgable, supportive and just nice people. 5. I'm coming up on 3 years here in Feb 2021 and my legs feel like marble columns, zero back issues and I can throw a ball again.

My new obsession --- Solidcore kicks my butt every time, and I keep signing up for more…read more I'd always been kind of terrified of pilates classes that utilize the reformer, but a friend finally convinced me to try a class at Solidcore. They do offer both beginner "Intro" and intermediate "Foundations" classes, but on a very limited schedule. I took a Foundations class, which was a very helpful introduction to the machine with more individualized attention since the class size was smaller. I then skipped a few weeks because the foundations classes didn't align with my schedule as I was convinced I needed to do a few of them before the "big girl" signature classes. However, eventually that same friend convinced me to take the plunge, and I've been going 1-2 times per week ever since. Solidcore Signature 50 Classes involve 50 minutes of slow-burn strength training utilizing resistance from springs on the reformer. There is always attention to your core/obliques (lots of planking!) and then they feature one upper body and one lower body muscle group each class. The goal is to trigger second-degree muscle failure, where you've pushed your muscles to the point that they are shaking and you eventually physically can't complete another rep. Since that "failure" is part of the goal, it normalizes the need to take a break, shake-out, and reset, which I appreciate, but the instructors also encourage you to push for that next rep when you're not sure you can. I'm definitely sore the next day, but in a good way! The schedule for signature classes is super flexible, with offerings starting at 5a and extending almost hourly until 10p with a rotating cast of instructors. They're not the cheapest, but it's also a workout unlike any other and they do offer discounts for teachers and health care workers. The subscription also allows you to bring a friend for free once per month! If you're on the fence about trying it --- just do it. It is going to be a challenge in the best way.

My baby is now almost one year old and smiles whenever he hears Tricia or Kim. I love the donation based model because it is so easy to invite a friend to practice.

Recapping my experience training at Art Fitness gym is something that is actually pretty difficult…read more Difficult because, truly, I do not know where to start. But I guess the best place to start are the days leading up to my first session. I was in the beginning weeks of my senior year of high school, and all throughout my first three years, I was just a quiet kid. I did not always say much, and because of this I did not have many friends. I struggled with this a lot because my personality is NOT quiet or shy in any way. So, as I started senior year, I wondered why I just could not put myself out there, and be a social person. One day, my parents asked me why I seemed sad or depressed, I told them. My lack of confidence as a person had been holding me back these past years, and because of it I was not where I wanted to be in high school. I look in the mirror, and I do not like what I see, which leads to me just sitting in the back of classes, going home right after school, basically hiding. I tell you this part of my life because, although it is sad, those days are gone. Within a week after telling my parents how I was feeling, I signed up for a personal trainer at Art Fitness. My first day there, I met the leader of the gym, Alisa Rose, and I do not know if she knows this, but she made one of the best decisions possibly ever made. She told me that she could be my trainer, but she thought I would do better with a different trainer at the gym, a younger guy named Byshi Watson. That is a decision that changed my life. The next day I started at Art Fitness, training with Byshi, and truthfully I gained an older brother that day. As time passed, my body began to change for the better, I started gaining confidence, liking what I was seeing in the mirror. The rest of senior year I found myself being the social person I wanted to be, and that is the person I always knew I was. Nothing was holding me back anymore. The best part was, training and working out was not something I was dreading. In the past, every time I tried to go the gym myself, I just hated it. It was not fun, I felt like I was doing everything wrong, the minutes dragged by. At Art Fitness, I looked forward to working out. Byshi challenged me in a lot of ways, I had never been so sore, and I do not wish those sprints in the parking lot on my worst enemy! Even with the challenge, I enjoyed it so much, because the whole time I was truly just hanging out with a great friend, a big brother. Whether we were talking about music, or how much we hate Kevin Durant and the Warriors, we were always just having a good time. Byshi is the best trainer I could have asked for. He wants you to reach your goals, and he shows you how to do everything you need to do. At college, I show some of my friends the exercises he showed me at the school gym. I learned so much from him. Not only did he help me improve my body through exercise, he taught me the right things to eat and drink on a daily basis. He gave a meal plan that made a huge difference for me and helped me lose weight. His knowledge of fitness and nutrition is something I could always count on, I felt like I could ask any question and get an informed answer. I have stayed training with Byshi, three years later, and even though it is on and off as I attend college in New York City, Byshi is still someone I can go to with any problem in my life at any time. I could never really thank Byshi and the people at Art Fitness enough, training here changed my whole life. It made me into the confident person I always wanted to be, the confident person I am today. I will be forever grateful for that.

I was out for an event earlier in the evening and decided to check to see what else was going on that night. They have a full calendar of events throughout the month but this one is held the 2nd Saturday of each month. You do not have to be a student here and you don't have to be the best dancer, but you should be open to learning and enjoying dancing. I appreciated that the dance lesson allowed everyone to be involved even if you came alone, as everyone lined up and switched partners throughout the lesson prior to the dancing portion. Most of the other attendees were very nice and willing to have fun, which I appreciated. The studio is a lot larger than one would think from the store front and it was very clean. They had pizza, snacks and candy that was included in the price, as well as a cash bar. They accept cash and digital payments (like Apple/Android Pay). There aren't many night clubs in the area, but this had the feel of a local club when the lights went down and everyone began to dance the night away! I hope to attend again soon and some other events; they even had me considering taking classes.
