I first…read morejoined for the Boot Camp and TRX style classes but found that my 50+ year old body was not responding to that so well, even though I was loving the workouts, so I decided to swap out a workout day for a day of yoga instead. I was intimidated at first. I have some, but not a lot of experience with yoga and the idea of doing it in a heated environment made me nervous. They have 60- and 90-minute classes. I started with the 60 min Yoga Basics class which is not a beginner class necessarily, its challenging for sure, but sticks to the more rudimentary poses and movements. It's a great class for all levels and the heated room was actually very nice. I was concerned I would feel like I was suffocating but that was not at all the case. It felt great and I was totally sweaty by the end of class. It's a damn good workout and everyone is very supportive and friendly. Since I've incorporated yoga 2 days a week into my regular routine and dropped the hard work outs down to only 2 days a week I'm feeling MUCH better. Less injury, more bendy, and continued to increase my strength. Bean and the gym staff are all great at what they do. Heather and rest of the yoga instructors are wonderful as well. I'm loving UFF and the range of options they offer! The only thing that I would warn anyone about is they are not super great at providing instruction in the boot camp and TRX classes. Most of the members are fairly experienced athletes and there's a lot of assumption that everyone knows what they're doing and what weight they should be using. In a class of 20+ people they don't have a lot of time to coach an individual person. I am not shy and will almost always ask for help if I'm not sure, but not everyone feels comfortable doing that. I can definitely say that when I have asked for help, I get wonderful feedback and assistance. If you're new at this type of fitness you can schedule a one-on-one with a trainer to help you sort out a lot of things ahead of time, so you don't hurt yourself during a class. 10/10 highly recommend!

I honestly can't say enough good things about Kerri Mandes. She's been training me for almost two…read moreyears, and I can truly feel the difference--in both my body and mindset. Kerri knows exactly how to push you to your best, always balancing challenge with encouragement. She understands your limits and helps you grow beyond them, physically and mentally. She creates such a positive, fun environment that working out doesn't feel like a chore. I especially love the group setting--it keeps things engaging, motivating, and makes it easier to stay consistent. Every class feels like a step forward, and I actually look forward to coming back multiple times a week. If you're looking for a trainer who's knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in your progress, I highly recommend Kerri.

Alex is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and experienced. From day one, he helped create a workout plan that actually fits my goals and lifestyle, and he's great at keeping me accountable and on track. What really stands out is how he's skilled at programming around limitations if I ever have a minor discomfort or muscle strain, he knows exactly how to adjust workouts and even help alleviate pain rather than push through it unsafely. The gym also offers yoga classes, which I've always wanted to incorporate, and that has been a huge bonus for me. Overall, the environment feels supportive and motivating, not intimidating. You can tell there's a lot of integrity here, and that the trainers genuinely care about their clients' progress and well-being. It's more than just a gym, it really feels like a fitness community that Alex has intentionally built and cultivated. Highly recommend!

There's so many good things to say I honestly don't know where to start! Back in April 2018 I was…read moreready for a major lifestyle change mainly because I just felt unhealthy, looked out of shape (which in turn gave me low self esteem) and needed to be in better shape (cardiovascular & strength wise) for the fitness tests I need to pass every year. I was searching for a personal trainer for quite some time before finally coming across Body By Vlad. I contacted Vlad and he got back to me quickly assessing my needs, not just "oh you want to work out" but more in-depth questions about my health goals, lifestyle goals and what I feel I need to do to be my best self. After the assessment I met Vlad in person at the gym to have measurements taken and go over what the program was about. After that day I started working out with him twice a week and other days I worked out I followed the workout plan he created specifically for my fitness goals. Working out with Vlad was awesome, he made sure exercises weren't repeated to keep my interest along with my body's interest (repeats for the body aren't effective), he pushed me to the limit every time (I'd be drenched in sweat), he made sure all exercises were performed correctly and he was always very courteous, outgoing, professional and caring. The best thing about working about with Vlad though was/is the results. I saw results very quickly (& my skin was AMAZINGLY clear) which boosted my self esteem through the roof and gave me the confidence I needed for my fitness test. I was in awesome shape and knew for a fact I'd pass my test no problem, major stress relieved. The results were also achieved through the meal plan Vlad had me following, very easy plan because you eat what you want but make healthy choices based on the list of healthy foods he gives you. I bet your wondering why everything seems to be past tense well that's because in September 2018 my husband and I found out we were expecting the baby we had be trying for since August 2018 Trying didn't take long at all and I have a strong feeling it had everything to do with the shape my body was in. Carrying on fitness and healthy eating through out my pregnancy did wonders for my baby and I, for the most part I always had good energy levels (except the1st trimester lol), I felt strong, didn't gain unnecessary amounts of weight, was low risk for all pregnancy ailments (minor and major) and naturally delivered a completely healthy 7lb 15oz baby girl with no pain medicine or intervention from medical staff what's so ever. After delivery I still feel very strong and did not keep unnecessary pregnancy weight. I definitely still eat very healthy and exercise just not with Vlad because as a stay at home mom it's hard to get to a gym these days Once my daughter is older and I can get back to the gym on a regular basis I will be back in the gym with Vlad and encourage anyone looking to improve their lifestyle and health to contact Body By Vlad ASAP, you will seriously be glad you did. **I've included a picture of my measurements just to show how quickly my body was changing.

Especially Friday-Sunday. You would think all the locations would have the same business hours of operation, but the 7941 Fair Oaks Blvd location closes an hour earlier and opens an hour later Monday-Thursday and Friday-Sunday they close two hours earlier. Seems like longer hours on the weekends would be more logical because most people are not working. Another issue is that the pool or jacuzzi seems to be closed due to whatever reasons quite often. Sometimes they are closed for 5 to 10 days or longer. This is an ongoing issue at both Carmicheal locations. These issues are inconvenient and make my recovery process slow or come to a halt at times. Other than that the facilities are adequate. I do recommend In-Shape.
