Among them, Carah Hering stands out as my all-time favorite fitness instructor. She imparts her expertise in Line Dancing, ZUMBA, Aqua-ZUMBA, and Cardio Dance, fostering a sense of community that transcends the club. Carah helps coordinate dance parties and trips throughout the year, she also encourages the celebration of birthdays and other life milestones in a unique and memorable manner. These events provide an unparalleled opportunity for camaraderie and shared experiences. Recently, I underwent hip replacement surgery, and Carah's classes served as my greatest motivation to heal and resume dancing with my Oakwood Dance Sisters. If you are passionate about dance or eager to explore this art form, I wholeheartedly recommend all the dance classes offered at the Oakwood Athletic Club.

My friend and I checked out this club and overall we really liked it. The place was super clean and…read moreyou can tell they take good care of it. I mainly went for the pool, and I also used the steam room, sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub downstairs. Everything was clean and felt really nice. But honestly, the policies were a big downside. For example, we could sign up, but if we wanted other people to join under the same plan to save money, they had to be under 18, which just doesn't make sense. The guest policy was the biggest issue for me. You can bring a guest, but it has to be a different person every time. I'm paying around $330 a month, so it would be reasonable to at least bring my spouse once in a while, even just once a month. Not being able to bring the same person is really restrictive and doesn't feel practical. Overall, the club itself is great, but these policies are too strict, and that's why I decided not to sign up.

Immediately 2 more employees that were there stand up and said we need to do this now! While talking , several other gym members check in after me and most didn't have a profile picture either but we're not asked to do one nor they were stopped , as I was , to enter the facility. I personally knew one of the persons who checked in while I was talking with the 3 employees at the front desk, and she didn't have a profile picture I saw it on one of the front desk computers. Out of nowhere, another guy showed up , I am not sure he was an employee or not, asking to show them my ID , so they can identify me. I said ok, I can show you my ID. I felt like I am a criminal, passing LAX security guards. When I show my Driver License , an employee took a picture of my driver license without asking me. He was only supposed to verify my identity not take a picture of my driver license! Many other members checked in at the gym , while we were talking and none of them that didn't have a picture on their account was stopped or asked for a picture, only me, I was singled out! Forma , you should train better your employees to be more polite and respectful towards the members who pay their salaries! And think twice before you hire disrespectful teenagers who think they own the company! Very disappointing experience. The way Forma Gym employees treated me appears extremely selective--some people are repeatedly singled out and bothered over minor issues, while others are given a free pass for doing the exact same things. Rules should be applied consistently and fairly to everyone, not enforced only against particular people. Professionalism means treating every customer equally and respectfully. Management should take a closer look at how these situations are handled, because this kind of inconsistent treatment creates a very unfair and uncomfortable environment.

Doing squats and deadlifts are two of the most important exercises for generating testosterone and solidifying your frame. For example, she started me out with just the bar and I gradually got up to maxing out at 315 lbs for the first time.

This is a small, local gym in the best sense of the word -- no corporate chain sterility, no attitude, just people who actually care whether you show up and how you're doing. I have to give a massive shout-out to my personal trainer, Siobhan. I've been training with her for a couple of years now. She pays attention -- to form, to how I'm feeling that day, to what's actually working and what isn't -- and she adjusts on the fly instead of just running me through a script. She pushes hard when I need pushing and knows when to ease off. Two years in and I still look forward to our sessions, which says everything. The rest of the staff makes this place what it is too. Renee and Katee are always warm and welcoming the second you walk in -- it genuinely feels like showing up to see people who know your name. Katee brings great energy to every session I've seen her run. Johnny's the kind of trainer who makes even the hardest days a little more bearable with good humor and real encouragement. And Antoine rounds out the crew perfectly -- always solid, always supportive. And a special mention for Gursewak at the front desk, who's always friendly and on top of things -- he sets the tone the second you walk through the door. If you're looking for a gym where the staff actually knows you, and where a trainer will genuinely invest in your progress over the long haul, this is it. Can't recommend Siobhan and the whole crew enough.

I've achieved a total body recomposition--losing 9.7% body fat and gaining lean muscle--all while consistently hitting the gym 4x a week. ​Coming in as someone completely new to CrossFit, I was a bit nervous, but Coach Dan and all the other coaches and members are so nice and welcoming. It truly feels like a supportive community. ​The biggest shift for me was my nutrition. Before starting, I wasn't eating enough calories or the right macros, which left me feeling bloated and sluggish. Since starting this nutrition journey, I've learned how to fuel my body properly. I'm actually consuming more calories now, but doing it the right way has completely changed how I feel. ​I've been on several vacations since starting and was able to enjoy myself without worrying about putting the weight back on. This nutrition plan is truly about balance. The best part? The clothes that didn't fit me for the longest time have finally moved to the front of my closet, and I feel so much more confident in my body. I have more energy and strength than ever before, and I can't recommend Coach Dan enough!"

Ya'll this place will get you in shape in no time. I tried the Lagree class. The instructor was so nice and allowed me to switch over from the Climb x Boot Camp class when I showed up. I was also able to purchase a pair of grippy socks onsite for about $10. The music was good, the lingo will take sometime to learn, but I appreciated the instructor coaching me and helping to position me in the right position, and gave me words of encouragement. There was only 7-8 ppl in the class so I wonder what it's like when it's full. I appreciated the work out bc it challenged me to push myself just a bit more. I had a good sweat and worked my upper body to the point where my arms were going to give out on me, half way through but I kept pushing just a little more. I appreciated that there was no pushy sales person trying to get me to purchase a membership. Now I can give it sometime and a proper think. Everyone was pleasant and professional from the staff to the members in the room. Nicolette was subbing from Danville and she was a great instructor. Provided me with a quick history about how Lagree was established. I definitely hope to come back and try the climber/boot camp class.
