But honestly, it's not an issue - the space is so welcoming and comfortable. I love that they offer a free week of classes - such a great way to get a feel for the studio without any pressure. I went to one class and absolutely loved it. The instructor was fantastic, really motivating and attentive. It felt like she was focused on making sure everyone was getting the most out of their practice, which is something I really appreciated. Another great perk: they have props available to borrow! It's always a nice touch when a studio makes sure you have everything you need to enhance your practice. I only wish I could have gone to more classes!

There was little to no attention to the individuals, she just stood at the front of the room the entire time doing the poses with us which made it feel somewhat impersonal. The space was also too small for the amount of people that showed up, so it felt a bit claustrophobic. Following my free trial, I also sent out MULTIPLE emails to her regarding the membership fee I was charged. I was not please with the service due to the above reasons so I did not wish to be charged for something I will not be returning to, but she never responded to my emails. (She had been very responsive to my previous emails prior to enrolling in the free trial). It just left me feeling like she was trying to get money regardless of my experience with the studio.

This is the only fitness program that I've maintained for the long haul in larger part to the accountability of seeing the same people each class. I felt supported through pregnancy, new mom-hood, broken bones, PT rehab, and other major life events by Joe, the Novem coaches and fellow members I met along the way. Even after leaving Novem, I continue to reap the benefits of lifelong friendships and the knowledge of how to care for my body through different stages of life.

I'll admit, I begrudgingly went to the second class dreading the various cycles we had gone through the week before. I assumed that because the classes were free, they would be exactly the same. Wrong! Every single class has been different. Each has been painful in its own special way, but for me, not knowing what's next makes it easier to push through. This has kept me going back for more week after week. Although I already have a gym membership and pay for another boot camp in NJ, I am seriously considering looking into Platoon's programs.

Class sizes are a decent size (I had no larger than 8 people in a group class) and in the 45-minute window they do a challenging yet surmountable WOD style program. I've been doing circuit-based fitness for a couple of years and it's always great to see trainers come up with new movesets that keep the workout interesting. I also got to work with Ari and he is as personable as the other reviewers say he is - if you have the chance, attend one of his classes and you can see for yourself his dedication to his clients new and old.

The sessions with Justin vary every time, so I'm not doing the same exercises every visit. Even week to week, it's never the same. He also challenges you to do more than you thought possible (never have I ever done 60 lb leg lifts or 90 lb hamstring curls on my own). One day, I was doing walking lunges with 15 lb weights. I left the room and I didn't realize he switched my weights to 20's until I put them away. Mind over matter. Justin also listens and remembers your limitations. They have added spin and zumba classes ($10 each), in addition to their Saturday group workout session (a bargain at $5). I hope to get to spin soon. I also like their new app to book your session, pay, check in, etc. There is a little lounge area, vending machines and a kids room on site as well. Everyone seems friendly and when you keep seeing the same faces, it becomes easier to come in and feel comfortable. You even have your fellow gym goers as commiserate as you do your workout :-)
