I finally gave this place a shot for the sole reason that it's the closest gym to my house, and--my…read moreGod, what to say. I'd rather give my money to a fitness center run by Satan himself. I cannot imagine who would find this "gym" appealing except a high school boy looking to buy steroids, although there was one woman who seemed to be the one selling them. Ladies, do you enjoy being ogled by sickly-complected 17-year olds who run 0.3 miles on the treadmill at an all-out pace in a hoodie, WITH the hood up? How about a 23-year old bro wearing seven pounds of hair gel and a tanktop comprised of four strings? Then by God it's your lucky day, as the exclusive demographics of this joint appear to be Really Weird Dudes. Further observations: The music is bad (not normal-bad, you-have-to-try bad), and it is deafening. Blaring Queen on my noise-cancelling headphones failed to drown it out. The lighting is...red. The locker rooms are small and dirty. The ambiance screams Ringworm. The temperature is hardly cooler than the outside (it's called a dehumidifier, friends). On the treadmill I used, half the buttons were straight-up broken and the belt was loose, and it crapped out after 30 minutes. I did not stay to use the weight machines, which were crammed together like tinned sardines, as the urge to escape became, well, inescapable. In summary: I'm genuinely impressed that I managed to move this close to The Worst Gym in the World. Like, what are the chances. Anyway, if you're looking for a stuffy, creepy Exercise Dungeon as imagined by an especially dim middle schooler, check Impact out!!!

Well I don't often give poor reviews, but I feel in this instance I need to provide a word of…read morecaution to my fellow Zumba lovers. First off, this group's Zumba is actually pretty good. Definitely doable for all levels, reasonable variety of classes, studio is decent. I've attended better, but these rank well. Now the down side. I had a pretty bad experience with their payments. While you can pay per class, that is pretty costly and so their other options look really tempting when you decide you want to continue classes. There's an option for buying up to 10 classes per time - though not the cheapest, I should have stuck to that one. Instead I opted for a monthly payment deducted from my account beginning in July of last year (I checked on that first payment to make sure it went through) - the cheapest option if you take several classes a week. It was fine for a while, but as winter approached I couldn't attend enough classes to make it worthwhile due to work (I live in another state, so could only attend after work). I decided to keep the monthly payments until the New Year as a way to continue funding the group as I knew they were struggling to outfit their new studio. I only attended a few times, but I thought it was worth it as good Zumba is hard to come by. In January though, knowing I was going on my honeymoon and then transitioning jobs that would take me out of the geographic area of the studio I asked them to stop the charges. They agreed. But in February I received another receipt for payment via email, which is how they had acknowledged previous payments drawn from my account. I sent back an email reminding them that I had discontinued and please reimburse that payment. They then called me to say that actually, even though I had received receipts every month, my account hadn't been charged since the previous August. I checked my account and they were right. And this is where I got upset. Instead of apologizing they basically explained the fact that their billing and receipts were completely separate systems and it was my fault for not checking my account to verify that the money they provided the receipt for had actually been deducted. I thought a receipt WAS a proof of payment (according to legal dictionaries, it is), so even though I keep records of charges, I didn't think to double check this one. I've now had two phone calls with the owners of the studio, neither were pleasant. Despite the fact that I have never owed on a single account in my entire life, they accused me of trying to renege on past dues and didn't even want to listen to a single thing I said. They made me feel as if I was not only in the wrong for not monitoring my payments, but also not worth listening to. I will be paying their bill - $290 - I never said I wouldn't. I always pay what I owe. However, such a lump sum is not easy to handle. They offered a 3 payment option, but at this point I'm done with them and do not want to prolong the process. In my first conversation with them one of the owners had made the excuse that I shouldn't get upset with them as they were only Zumba instructors. I pointed out that they were also business owners and this was very poor business practice. It is also extremely poor customer service. So please just be careful.

Bikram Yoga might not be for everyone but it certainly is for me…read more Just a light background on Bikram Yoga, it is the same 26 postures every class. Instructors actually have the same dialogue that they are to repeat each class. Class is held in a room that is 104 degrees and very humid. If you have issues with heat you may want to be wary about practicing bikram. You face wall of mirrors and the instructor stands on a platform and recites the dialogue. It is much different then other yoga styles classes. I think that the heat makes it much easier to come into a meditative state. The first 5-7 classes are the hardest, but once you get used to the flow, used to the dialogue, you learn quickly. I would recommend if you are trying to for the first time to get a one month membership, so that you go a bunch of times. This is the best way to try bikram (actually any studio really) This Bikram Yoga Auburn studio is a great place. They have a TON of class times to choose from, especially in the winter when it gets really busy. The teachers all bring their own unique stories to the dialogue which is very enriching. You pick up something new every class. The teachers are all very friendly and love to answer questions after class. Sam, the owner, is at the height of this. He is friendly, engaging, and very knowledgable. He has his own personal story about healing through Bikram Yoga and it's nice to hear his stories in class, and ask for advice or any random question that pops into my head after class. It also is in a very central location, in Auburn right off of either highway (395/290 or Mass Pike). Would definitely recommend! Give it a try! Bikram Yoga has healed many injuries and helped people lose a lot of weight or just generally get healthier!

Every time I travel some place, I always try to make it to a local Crossfit gym. Over the…read moreholidays, I was back in Massachusetts visiting the family and decided to make a trip over to Crossfit Centermass. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Crossfit - it's a mix of power lifting, olympic lifting, gymnastics, and sports conditioning. You workout in small classes (2-10 people) and the workouts are constantly varied. Typically, the other gyms will charge me a drop in fee, but the guys at Crossfit Centermass let me drop in for free because I belong to a Crossfit in Austin, TX. Much appreciated! I went during the open gym time at noon, so I'm assuming my experience is a little different then other times. During the open gym time they will do a WOD (workout of the day), but you do not need to participate if you do not want to. I opted to join in on the WOD - considering I hadn't worked out in a few weeks, it was brutal, but they always are. The gym seemed to be very well equipped. I really liked their setup for pullups. If I was going to make one constructive critique, it would be that their jump ropes sucked. But otherwise this seemed to be a fantastic box (gym) with a lot of friendly people working out. I'm not sure what the situation is with parking, but I found parking directly in front of the gym on Shrewsbury Street. Definitely give 'em a shot if you are looking for a Crossfit gym (or even if you're not)!
