The workout was a HIIT version alternating between light/medium weights and cardio. 45 sec on, 15 sec recovery. I felt the right amount of sore afterwards to know I worked hard. I was able to do most activities or at least adjust to one's I could do. The instructor was energetic and motivating. Music was pumping up the class. We even had a well behaved puppy participant. The room was bright and well heated. Really great experience.

I would suggest Core to anyone wanting to try something new or deepen their relationship to their body.

I get much of my exercise in my home gym and outside when it's nice, but MN winters are not nice. It's hell out there. If you feel the same, you should checkout this place. I was browsing Groupon fitness deals and found Shape Me Group Fitness and went on their site to find out what classes they offer. There's a good variety from Zumba, Turbo Kick, Latin Hip Hop, Mat Pilates, Yoga etc. I went through with my purchase. I was nervous my first time, I went with a Zumba class. All of the instructors are really nice and don't make you feel like a beginner. They make it a point to let you know that no one cares what you look like doing it as long as you're doing it correctly and not injuring yourself. They want to make sure you're getting a good workout, and you're having fun. Which was great because I totally thought I had the moves down, then looked at myself in the mirror and I'm pretty sure I was just running in place and flailing my arms around. It doesn't matter though because everyone else is too busy keeping up, they're not watching you. The classes are always filled with a decent amount of people. You always have room, but you're never looking around like "dang I'm the only person in the mirror." The studio is a good size and you have clear views of the instructor. It's very clean, and there are bins for your personal belongings. My favorite classes so far have been Zumba in the Circuit with Ritzy. It's one minute of Zumba and one minute of machine for 50 minutes. Good stuff. Ritzy is super energetic and motivating, take one of her classes! Turbo Kick with Bao it really good too. I've learned I need to practice kicking higher. I'd never win in a kick off. Dani also works you hard in Zumba, but you feel great about your workout afterwards. All in all you won't be disappointed with any of the instructors here! P.S. For my male friends, there are men there too. Don't be shy!

Rather than being part of a chain, it's a family business, with owner Ritzy teaching many of the classes. If you have a question or a suggestion, she is always available to talk. The instructors always invite you to talk with them after class. The instructors really set the tone for relations among the customers. Their kindness and equal treatment of all means that there's no snobby competition among the students. I've seen everyone from slim, toned model types to plenty of chunky gals like me to people who are badly out of shape and only able to participate for a few minutes at a time. There is a lot of ethnic diversity, too. The studio is clean and comfortable, the cost is reasonable, and there is ample parking. The only downside is that there is not a dressing room, although there is a bathroom where you can change if you need to.

They have bathrooms, showers, lockers, lots of weights, and a large studio space for the workout. Parking can be tricky at times, they have designated spots in the parking lot but those tend to fill up fast. There are plenty of meters close by but also free parking a block or so away. I tend to park for free on the side streets which is about a 5 minute walk. Overall a great gym to be a part of!

However, when I looked at the schedule there are limited options. Unfortunately, only evenings (after 4pm) work for me and this location only has 3 options and those are basically full. If you work from home or not at all you will have lots of options. So sad. My mission is to try new things and go places i decided to try pilates reformer. I didn't know what to expect but I was excited because this was going to be different than floor pilates. I went to the 30min intro class to just try it out. We got some introduction and hopped on. The resistance was super easy, but what I didn't know is I would feel it later, lol. Dana was so great and because of her I'm considering the 8 pack/month pass. The manager was welcoming and they don't pressure you at the end of class to sign up. The class speaks for itself. If you've ever wanted to try reformer go to this location when Dana is teaching for the free (can't beat free) intro class. Even though it was only 30mins I still felt it the next day, in a good way.

I knew from friends who attended that membership was nothing to take lightly. The first 10 weeks consisted of a challenge among attendees, with one person taking home a $1000 check. There was a weekly meal plan that was encouraged and turned in for review along with coaching on the physical exercises which were completed in 45 min workouts 6 days per week. I found the workouts challenging from the start, but always wanted to go back for more. The classes were offered at a variety of times throughout the day and members were welcome to join in with whichever time worked best for their day. After the first 10 weeks, you are considered a FIT member and are encouraged to continue to make progress towards personal goals. The owners, instructors, coaches, and fellow FIT teammates treat each other like family. There are social events, a Facebook page, and notes of encouragement that bring people together with a common purpose and keep them connected. During the current COVID 19 outbreak, our Farrell's family has been particularly interested in being of support. Tireless efforts have been put into an online format so that members can continue their hard work and progress during a period of social distancing. Resources were delivered to the door of members who ordered bags and bands to continue workouts while the gym itself was closed. It is truly a special place where everyone is welcome to get their own start at a new outlook on life, living at Level 10.

Plenty of parking available outside the space. There are cubbies to leave your stuff, private bathrooms with showers (bring your own towel), and a water fountain to fill up your bottle before class! The workout room is dimly lit, with fun lights and loud music to keep you motivated. The equipment is really clean and organized well. Staff are so friendly and knew my name by my second class. The workouts definitely fall into the HIIT category, incorporating various intervals of strength training and Air Bike pushes. Each day is a little different which makes it fresh, but exercises come back around each week so you can feel like you are moving towards mastery of the movements pretty quickly. Being new to the area, I am happy I finally found a workout spot to dig in some roots!
