I've been to boxing classes before, but I really liked the way that they laid out the class format here. It's a variety of boxing and strength workouts intermixed so you get a well rounded workout. Each day also has a different focus like legs, core, etc. so the workouts that go alongside the boxing have a collective theme. I got a very nice calorie burn. I recommend this to somebody who wants to change up their fitness routine. They have class pack options if you don't want a huge commitment. Or you can join one of their different memberships. The class length is 50 minutes.

I wanted to leave a review after checking out this gym for a couple days. I was in town for the…read moreholidays - I live in Atlanta - and I happened to come across this gym after getting a day pass to work out at LA Fitness (which... ugh we don't need to talk about that). I googled it and it seemed decent, so I purchased a little three-menbership to use after Christmas. Getting the membership online was super easy, and the gym was very easy to access through the app. And the app itself is probably the easiest and most user-friendly gym app I've ever used. Points Pure Fitness! Those little cylinders get a little tight when you're entering, but you're only in there for a few seconds lol. The gym itself is a little on the smaller side, but it uses the space REALLY well. I love that they've got roadmaps of where everything is in the gym posted both outside and inside the gym, so it's very easy to find what you might be looking for. There's plenty of cardio equipment, plenty of machines, and multiple free weight areas, as well as squat racks, powerlifting platforms, Smith Machines, and a couple of bench press stations that can also double as squat racks. There's a nice little turf with sleds, battle ropes, and stationary tires. They also have a nice stretching/abs area, that also has multiple standing punching bags, which was really cool - I didn't use them on these first two visits, but I definitely will whenever I come back! The strength and cardio machines are Matrix machines, which I'm not the biggest fan of personally, but they absolutely still get the job done. And that's purely a personal preference as an experienced lifter and trainer, but it wouldn't/shouldn't inhibit anyone's experience at all. If I had to name any cons, it would probably be these two relatively minor things: -The layout takes a little bit of getting used. There doesn't really seem to be a pattern to how the machines are set up, legs and upper body machines mixed and in random places, but once you get used to it, it's fine. And the cleaning stations and trash/recycle receptacles are sometimes oddly placed, to where you may be right next to trash can, but have to walk a little ways to find a cleaning station, or vice versa. But we're all there to get a little extra cardio, too, right? Lol. (I also do appreciate that they have recycling stations, too.) -The locker rooms are mostly pretty clean, and there are plenty of showers, that mostly seem to be fairly clean, as well, and they're nice and spacious. I always shower and change after my workout, so that's appreciated. But the bathroom area was pretty filthy on both of my days there. I know that's kind of par for the course for 24-hour facilities, but on back to back days during the week, I feel like I saw the same filth spots in the bathroom area. Though on my second day, the cleaning guy was in the locker room cleaning in the afternoon, so that was great to see. And the rest of the gym seemed very clean, which I absolutely loved. Neither of these are enough to dock any stars, though. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Pure Fitness Springfield. I didn't really interact with any of the staff there, but other reviews seem to have very glowing things to say about them, so I'll take their word for it. And the trainer I saw on Friday seemed to be very engaged with his clients, which was cool. Northern VA is home for me, so whenever I come back, this will absolutely be my gym of choice. And if I ever move back long-term, I will definitely sign up for a full long-term membership and make this my home gym. Thanks for a great experience, and I'll be recommending you to all of my friends and family in the area! :)

I've definitely met a lot of people that really love it, which is great. Finding an activity you can stick with is the key! I'd have given more stars, but there are a few things that I wish were different: - It's loud. It's so, so, so loud. I wear earplugs, and even with the earplugs, my tinnitus is roaring after class. I basically flee the building as soon as I can. - Cramped. I wish there was more than 2-3 ft of space per person. People adjust sideway or move around to make it work, but it's weirdly cramped. The instructors are fine. Not much correction or assistance, IME. There's not any gym-chat (maybe partly because it's so loud it'd be very difficult to talk to others). Everyone I've been in classes with seem unwilling to interact. So, not a social/CrossFit-like option. If I could find a good weightlifting class anywhere else, I probably would give up going because of my sensory sensitivities, but for now, it's an okay option.

I always walk out sweaty and tired in the best way. This has been my first experience with weightlifting. I joined up after doing a month of physical therapy for chronic pain. I was very worried about feeling pressure to go too heavy or too fast, but instead I've gotten a lot of encouragement to go at my own pace and to focus on correct form. LeeAnn is especially caring and really looks out for her clients. She listens to you and puts a lot of thought and personalization into the individual sessions based on your needs and abilities.

If you weeks ago I got a good look in the mirror and realized just how far I had fallen out of shape. Truth be told I freaked out a little bit. Once I calm down I started doing my research. I knew that based on my age I needed to find a specific type of training. I know what to eat. I know how to "train" but i also know how to put it off "until next week". it is so easy to make excuses when you only answer to yourself but finding a program and committing to it drives me. I was really shocked at the variety of trainers. You have the rah rah coach, You have the coddler, you have the push you til you drop types etc. I lived in the gym for years. I loved it. Then kids, and age, and life became the excuses and i just quit doing it. I needed to find someone who could build on my experience and modify my workouts to my age and new goals. I no longer need to spend 2 hours workouts 5 days a week in the gym pushing way to much weight trying to be a better athlete. I spent quite a bit of time both by phone and email chatting with Elin about my goals. First thing i noticed. Elin listens. He took in the history i gave him and what i would like to achieve moving forward. Elin spent over a week digesting the info i provided on his questionnaires. He clearly was looking for the right fit. The beauty of Elin Fitness Redefined is the great and varied type and styles of trainers. Day one workout. I have a workout with Ray. He reminds me of my best workout partners from my youth. He is a lifelong athlete. His freestyle wrestling background as well as long term military service let me know immediately that i was working with a guy who would push me in the right way. Elin checked in on my at the end of each of the first 3 weeks. He didn't just ask the tired "how's it going" type of questions but rather wanted specifics just to make sure i was getting what i needed and he committed to. Client service is a big deal but i actually feel like he knows he can change lives with proper training and that starts with matching the right people. I told Elin i wanted to work for 10 weeks and see where i was. I have already seen my sessions getting more demanding and Ray tracks my rest times and my need for recovery between sets has dropped dramatically. That is so cool and it motivates me even more. I love the constant variety of exercises. little chance of getting bored here. Need a jumpstart? Call Elin. Want to be a competitive bodybuilder? Call Elin. Best time to start is today.

They have one row of free weights with a few benches unlike our facility that has two rows and more benches. During other visits to this facility, I noticed that people will socialize and browse their phones while sitting on the equipment. My time is limited and I don't want to wake-up any earlier than I already do so that other people can socialize.
