    My boys have been going to this kungfu school for over 5 years. Shifu Chen is the real deal! I highly recommend this place!

    The good: Great instructors and welcoming atmosphere in classes! Lots of equipment and cafe/salon…read moreservices are great! The not so good: front desk staff is not friendly to most. Especially one lady with short hair who is always chatting with younger staff and barely looks up to check people in. other's area lifetimes greet you warmly when you enter but most of the desk staff is preoccupied here. Gym desperately needs cleaning- cleaning is done by internal staff. Mats are dirty and never see anyone wiping down weights or mats / although they have spray and towels for guests to use. Restrooms are dirty and need a deep clean and improvements -( behind the stall doors- need to be cleaned)! This location is 20+ years old and lots of newer clubs going in and send this one is being neglected. Speakers in the main group fitness room only work on one side and cut out in the middle of routines. Classes were great but they keep changing formats and if there are less than 12-15 in a class they cut the class. For the price being paid they should hold class even if 5 people sign up. So many trainers around for a fee but classes seem to be getting limited compared to the newer gyms. Still going due to location but it needs some love!

    Flexibility with rates for unique circumstances. Tried to open a membership while in town…read moretemporarily for medical reasons and the staff was very unfriendly. In my previous experience with Lifetime Fitness gyms in Kansas, they were able to work with me to fit my family's needs.

    It's ultimately not for me, but for most people I'd recommend. Twenty minutes here, really packs a…read morepunch. Maxing out after 4-8 reps is a really efficient way to build some muscle. Every machine is computerized and is programmed to always be pushing you harder and harder. It never allows it to get easier. It's always pushing you to beat your last goal by increasing the difficulty. I stayed here for a yr. I really enjoyed the coaches. I loved the quiet workouts. -It was typically just me, one other client, and two coaches here. No gym BS at all. The reason it ultimately wasn't for me is because my goal is total body recomposition. Doing the same 6 exercises on the same machines is just not going to achieve that. I needed more. More moves. Longer workouts. I need variety. I started feeling so bored with my workouts. Always doing the same 6-8 things. So limiting. There's also only a couple of minutes of cardio. I aim for 10k steps a day and because this isn't a gym set up for cardio, I was forced to either walk in freezing temps or rainy weather or find a store to walk in. I needed a gym that had endless cardio options. This is not the gym for that. Would I recommend the exercise coach to most people? Absolutely, yes. Would I recommend to someone like me who wants total body recomposition? No, your 20 min a couple of times a week just isn't going to cut it. For the amount of money you're paying, you also aren't getting any bells and whistles. This isn't a cheap gym. It's pricey. And for that amount, I'd like showers, towel service, class options. I want a sauna and pools. A locker room would have been nice. Heck, even a bathroom. Here, you have to get a key and use the business complex's bathroom.

Whether you're an experienced athlete or someone like myself, trying to create a healthier lifestyle, Enshape will help you achieve your goals. Luke, Robert, Jimmy and Kelsey truly care about their clients--they go above and beyond every day!

    Back in August, my husband and I were looking for a gym where we could find results. Paying for a…read moregym membership and trying to figure out what to do next or doing the same thing every time just was not working. We were tired of the yo-yo. We stumbled across EnShape Fitness through the Ro Sport Chiropractic office, which is right next door. There are many reasons why I love EnShape. The classes are small (max 8 people), which allows for semi-private training; they know everyone by name, you're not just another number in their system. They have a variety of training classes from metabolic cardio, strength training, recovery cardio, and circuits. Along with fitness, they also incorporate nutritional training, which is the key to successful weight loss and maintenance. They teach you that this is a life style change, not just another diet. The staff at EnShape is small, so they get to know your strengths and weaknesses and you get to know them on a personal level. You have accountability with weekly weigh-ins and a monthly meeting with your trainer. They care about you, your goals, and your success. Since the middle of August, I am down almost 30 lbs and 2 pant sizes. I can dead lift and bench press more than I ever thought possible. I can push the sled across the gym with weight without any help (the first time I could barely get it 25 ft without any help), and throw the battle ropes with ease. I have more stamina than I used to and feel myself getting stronger. I have definitely seen success in how I feel and how I am looking. I still have a ways to go, but I know that I'm on the right path with the right people. If you're looking for a small gym where the trainers genuinely care about you and where you can find success, check out EnShape. You won't be disappointed.

We went over my expectations and she was positive and enthsiastic while discussing goals and needs. She answered further emails quickly. Based on our exchanges so far, I am leaning towards selecting Kathryn as my personal trainer!

    Kathryn is wonderful! I have had a great experience training with her for the past 6 weeks. When I…read morefirst met with her and I explained what my goals were she was very honest about what was realistic and laid out her thoughts on a game plan (protein goals, number of workouts, food suggestions). She has a background in being a life coach so she is attentive to your total wellness, not just physical, which is key for me. I work out with her exclusively via FaceTime and as a busy, working Mom, it couldn't be more perfect. She is on time and friendly, even at 6 am! If you are on the fence about contacting her, do it! You won't regret it. Scheduling times with her is easy and if I ever need to move times around she is very accommodating. Also, from the beginning she was upfront about her fees and wanted to make sure that we stayed within my budget. She never pushed me to do more than I was comfortable with. Kathryn utilized a phone app called Trainerize, which I love. She loads the work outs in the app after we have completed them so I am able to do them on my own on days of the week that I don't work out with her. It is very easy to follow along.

However, back and…read morestress issues and the persistent recommendation of my doctor to find and stay with some sort of activity, led me to try pilates at Embody Movement Pilates. Becky is the instructor for the group reformer pilates class that I take. Two words - LOVE IT! I actually look forward to going. The class size is small, the instructor Becky is actively engaged in making sure that you are doing it right, and understands how to modify the moves if you need an accommodation. My stress level has started to lessen as well. If you are a beginner, don't hesitate to take a pilates class at Embody Movement Pilates Studio. I wish I had started sooner.
