Went to a great Friday class. Full stars for the location-…read morethey made sure that I had a working bike and got me all set up and gave me a quick tour at the very beginning since it was my first time. Thank you Kennedy! I've been to two other cycling places before, and compared to the others instruction, it was just really hard to hear the instructor both due to music and because the microphone made her sound unintelligible. I think this particular class was really difficult for me because most of it was out of the saddle, but that's just a personal problem. The remixes on all the songs were not my personal taste but it definitely made me sweat trying to keep up. I really did like that they incorporated some arm and upper body work as well. Overall I'd be back but maybe with a different instructor and away from any speakers so I can hear a little better.

Perhaps a tad tight but no major issues there. This studio is simple enough, it has a stage for the instructor which would be helpful for a larger studio or with lots of people. I'd say it's probably half the size of the Cary studio off Buckjones. My instructor was a replacement sub who had never worked at that studio before. I'd say the class was alright - I think I'm more partial to Zumba classes versus Jazzercise, so take that for what it's worth. I still tried to have fun and do what I could to sweat. The instructor did provide low impact and high impact options for us to choose. I may go back and check out different instructors to see if that may sway me one way or the other.

The class is welcoming to both beginners and more advanced individuals. Highly recommend!

I go twice a week regularly ( with the occasional weekend workout or activity too) and I have already seen incredible results. Carlita, my instructor is so patient and helpful, especially with trickier workouts and particularly difficult ones for me; she encourages me to go at my own pace and never pushes me all while making sure I am getting my best results. I've learned so much about exercises I wasn't familiar with and I feel amazing! Stroller Strides works best with my schedule and lifestyle but I also love Strides 360! Body Back classes really push you and are definitely next level but I also really enjoy those classes! The unlimited membership has been so worth it. The ladies you meet are always so kind and accepting, I just love getting a good workout with other mamas that are going through similar experiences physically and mentally! Also, Meghan is wonderful! She's a great communicator of cancelled classes or upcoming events. She really keeps you informed and involved in this community. The events planned for mom's night out are always so much fun! I could not recommend Fit4Mom more!!!

Outdoor boot camp. You might not feel Marine-ready after, but you :will: feel like a bad-ass. On…read moreTuesday and Thursday, they offer Boot Camp and Zumba at 7pm, for $5. You'll pay, start with 5 laps, and a warm-up of jumping jacks, high-knees and so on. Then you'll split into groups of ~6-8 and start the real work-out. The day I went, it consisted of quick weight-lifting intervals done with makeshift equipment -- sand bags, heavy poles, etc. -- and/or body weight. I thought there was a good mix of upper- and lower-body focus. And my heart rate stayed up for most of the hour. Frankly, I thought the exercises could have been more challenging. But given the heat, and dirt, and bugs that come with working out outside, the less-intense level was kind of nice. The instructor offered some encouragement, and engaged with the group to keep us motivated, but also keep the mood light-hearted. There were about an equal number of girls and guys, and the group's fitness level was very diverse. So it's not too intimidating! Parking is kind of a pain-in-the-butt (my car got blocked in behind a few layers of late arrivals), but there's a neighboring lot that I noticed other people were spilling over into, so I'd recommend doing that.

My favorite classes are the extreme outdoor bootcamp and the full throttle class. At bootcamp you get pushed to your limits with burpees, hurdles, tire flipping, and more. Full throttle keeps cardio interesting with intervals the treadmill, row machine, strength exercises and more. I appreciate that it's affordable and you can walk -in without a membership (although they do have a membership option). Although I have a gym membership, I've found myself coming here more often than the gym.
