    I had been wanting to work with a personal trainer and came across The Factory Gym a few weeks ago…read more After realizing that it is located in my end of town that made me take the plunge as they are not only close to my house but offer personal training as well. I called and talked to the general manager, Tarek who was so very helpful, answered all my questions and encourage me to come in a take a tour of the gym. I had no idea that the gym has been there since 1984 about as long that we have lived in the south-end, across from the post office on Allmond Ave. The space is open with free weights, machines, a training area with all kinds of equipment to perform every exercise you could ever do. The staff are very friendly, plenty of parking right out side the door, men and women's locker rooms, a breakroom, healthy food options and a small kitchen. There are many bodybuilders who work out in the gym but everyone has been friendly and helpful if I have questions. Tarek hooked me up with Kayla, one of the trainers. You have to be a member of the gym to train there but they take Silver Sneakers so that is cool. I paid the gym directly for my training sessions and they cut you a deal if you pay for 8 sessions up front (one free). Kayla has been fantastic. As a body builder herself I feel confident in her workouts. She pushes me and I'm sore after our workouts but she is intent on preventing injury while building strength, mobility and balance. We had a couple of conversations prior to our first visit and she has tailored my sessions to work on my issues. I have finished 7 of my 8 sessions, going to the gym twice a week meeting with Kayla and what she wants me to focus on outside of our sessions together. She went out of town and sent me two workouts to do while she was gone. We will meet this week for our last session. I have been impressed with the facility, the staff and especially my trainer Kayla.

    Barbie loves when I go downtown to her center, but I have to branch out sometimes, so I came to…read morethis gym in Louisville to work on the muscles for a bit. I have a lot of good things to say about this very unusual and busy YMCA in downtown Louisville and I can see why everybody loves it because the people working here are off-the-charts friendly. The guy at the front desk was a southern gentleman of the younger variety and he helped me get into the building and told me where everything is and he could sense that I was in a hurry so he hurried along his instructions. He got me in within just a few seconds of showing up. So he gets 10 stars out of five. However the locker system just doesn't work. I used a very similar system in Memphis the other day and having never used a punch-button combination locker before I followed the sign and it worked perfectly and there were no issues. Not so much in Louisville. The signs are complex and contradictory. There are not many of the signs so I didn't even see one before I started using it. An old man told me how to work it and I did what he said and it immediately locked my stuff in without me entering a combination. I could not get to my stuff so I had to go all the way down at which point the guy at the desk told me that I could have just called him and the old man on the way out told me that this happens all the time and not to feel bad. Well I don't mean to be a jerk but if this happens all the time then there's a problem! Change the system LOL. The reason why it happens all the time is because these things just don't work very well. It's that simple. He told me that I could park for just a dollar in the garage across the street which I couldn't find in traffic, which was awful on all the streets near this Y, and didn't feel like carrying all my stuff from a different block anyway so I just use street parking which is freaking $0.25 for eight minutes which is absolutely freaking ridiculous. This is not New York City and in fact a lot of New York City has much more affordable parking than that. Ew. The actual equipment is pretty good and they have some nice mats and various different things that I could use and then there are other things that could be improved. Such as the bikes. And there was the whole locker room drama because apparently there's a lot of theft around here or at least people think there is so I was told not to leave my stuff in the locker room even for a couple of minutes unattended. The janitor guy actually came into the shower to tell me to come back and get my stuff. Pulled the curtain back on me naked in there, soaping up, and almost made me slip over while simultaneously having a heart attack. I appreciated the consideration and even gave me a 3 minute lecture about how things can go missing even with just a few seconds and he's absolutely right, in theory. But considering that I only spent 90 minutes here and then half of that time was dealing with drama, it wasn't really as appreciated as he meant it to be. The drama of the parking situation. The drama of the lockers that don't work properly. The drama of the shower warning. If you consider all of that then I think you'll consider four stars for this gym to be pretty generous. Should really be less, but the southern young gentleman checking me in and sorting out my locker was so nice, he carries the 4 star rating. But basically no workout for me because of dramaaaa. Next time I'll use one in a different part of the city.

    The only Y that lives up to the lyrics, "It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A!!"…read more Ok terrible Village People jokes aside, this is hands down the best Y I've been to, and it quickly became my home branch: the staff is helpful and friendly, the equipment is well-maintained, and the locker rooms are clean. But the best part by FAR is that they have Les Mills classes! Body Pump classes changed my life, and I was so worried I wouldn't be able to find them when I moved to Louisville. Thank you downtown Y for offering the one class that turned me from the self-conscious, lifelong physical therapy patient I was to the confident fitness junkie I never thought I could be.

They have fully stocked showers and bathroom for all your ready needs to go to work or wherever after your workout. My fiancé started a few months prior to me and got me to try a free class then a second free class and after that I was hooked. I always had a hard time working out on my own due to lack of motivation and knowing what to do. The instructors are great and help any way they can. They motivate and lead you through the exercises to maximize your workout. They change it up every class to offer different workouts to target different parts of the body. Overall an excellent workout experience for those that need just a little bit extra motivation! #shred415challenge

    Shred 415 has been open at it's highlands location for 6 months! I've been going to classes at…read moreShred 415 for 2 months. I took advantage of the option to take my first class free. After my class I filled out the survey that was emailed to me which gave me the option to attend a second class for free. After my second class I was hooked and signed up. Shred 415 has multiple class pack options to purchase. The entire facility is very clean and the provide quality equipment to use in class. The bathroom has everything you would need to prep yourself after class.... showers, towels, hairdryer, dry shampoo, hair spray. I enjoy that the class is in a cool temperature controlled studio. I've never been disappointed with the music playlist chosen for a class. I always catch myself singing along or pushing myself harder because of the beat. Shred 415 offers one hour classes that are divided into intervals, alternating between treadmill drills and strength training. Most classes are the standard four 15 minute intervals. I like that some instructors switch it up and do six 10 minute intervals or 2 fifteen minutes, 2 ten minutes, and 2 five minute intervals. I like to rotate between starting on the treadmill or on the floor. I try to attend a class 3-4 times per week. Shred 415 uses the MindBody app to sign up for classes. Each day they list multiple times with the instructor and the type of class (total body, arms & abs, butt & legs). I prefer to work out in the morning and they offer multiple class times for me to pick from. Some class times even offer childcare during the class, and it's clearly marked on the MindBody app. My first class I made it very clear that I WILL NOT be running on the treadmills ... the owner and instructor assured me that the treadmill intervals will be at my own pace. Approaching the end of my first two months and I'm occasionally running on the treadmill while in class. I love the entire staff at Shred 415. When I walk in the front door the staff knows my name and checks me in. The instructors give name shout outs to encourage during class.... and sometimes hearing my name gives me that extra push that I needed! The owner, Kathleen, very friendly and present. She quickly responded to my emails and made signing up a breeze! Thank you to Kathleen and the entire staff for making my morning work outs great! Come give Shred 415 a chance!

    They've now changed their name, but if you're smart you'll stay away from the shoddy business…read morepractice I encountered here. The owner(?) Rob and I spoke on the phone and he told me one price. I paid the first and last month of that quoted price by card then. The next day he sent me an agreement that stated an almost 1,000 fee would be charged as well. When i discussed this with him he stated the fee would not be charged, but he sent me another agreement with the same fee listed in it. At that time I declined membership and asked for a refund. I've never stepped foot in the building and didn't feel comfortable doing so at that point because I felt lied to and like we had started on a bad foot due to Rob asking me to put my credit card back on file and me declining. I felt like he was frustrated with me at that point so I felt uncomfortable.

    Quick rundown: Fun, challenging workouts…read more Great community. Slow walk-up: I had attended a few group (pack) workouts with specials or Yelp events. I enjoyed them very much but the cost of the gym was just too much for me. And honestly, it still is. But I got sucked in by a sponsored Facebook ad for a free 6-week coaching course that included workouts at BAREfit. Color me intrigued. I won't say much about the coaching program because...well, I hated it. It was NOT "free" and there were many things I hated about it. But the workouts at BAREfit...turns out, I well and truly love those! So at the end of the 6-week program, I had the option to either do another six weeks for no extra cost (no thank you) or I could transfer my credit to the gym to continue workouts. YES PLEASE to that. So with my credit transferred over, I got about 2ish months of unlimited classes before my money runs out (I think...I don't know for sure because the program coach/owner never sent me any specific information about when it runs out...). I am 1.5 months in to that and I still freaking love the classes! The trainers are all wonderful, knowledgeable and happy to provide modifications up or down to any move you are doing, and encouraging. They are eager to show you any move you aren't familiar with, and give you tips to better perform them during the class. The workouts are interesting and different and certainly challenge you. I did not lose weight during the coaching program, but I have been able to see and feel how I am getting stronger through the workouts. I am able to do certain activities for longer without stopping and I have been able to level up on the amount of weight I use for things. I have been telling people that the pack workouts here are like crossfit lite. And some people are there to get PRs and beef up. I am there because I have yet to get bored by it! I am going to make it feel like work, but I don't have to kill myself to beat anyone else but myself. It works so that Mondays and Tuesdays are "Push Days" and they work the front part of your body, Wednesdays and Thursdays are "Pull Days" and they work the back part of your body, and Fridays and Saturdays are "Whim Days" where there is an obstacle course circuit and a core/agility circuit that you go through 3 times each. Every day is a FULL BODY workout. My whole everything is sore after a visit here, but in the best way. And I am happy to push myself and try new things...and modify from there when I am not up to snuff yet (like...box jumps...I keep trying and will keep trying, but my shins are made of bruises and then I do step up instead :-P). I am genuinely not looking forward to my credit running out at the gym because BAREfit is located very conveniently to me, and I really am enjoying my time there. If you have the expendable income for boutique-y gyms, this one is fun and different. Definitely not budget friendly. But the community and atmosphere is so wonderful...it really does a lot to make the experience enjoyable!

When I first tried yoga a couple years ago at another place, I quit after two classes. I didn't know what I was doing and felt like a fish out of water. The teachers at Yoga East help you, no matter what level you are. They explain why they move you in certain positions and gently guide you through the practice. Now two months in, I am feeling more confident and comfortable. If ai can't do something, I can't do it. And that's okay. I may get there, I may not. The most important thing is I'm trying and doing something good for my body, my heart and my spirit. I've touched my feet more in the last two months than the last two years! I know that sounds funny, but think about it. Do you really pay attention to your feet, hands, hamstrings, sit bones.... My posture is getting stronger and I am more limber. No pretzel woman by far, but other day, I reach back during a kneeling back bend and touched my heels. That's progress! And I'm learning that progress, not perfection is good. Sometimes we expect too much out of ourselves. Give yourself a break and just be.....Namaste!
