My trainer is Ciaran , who has been an incredible teacher. After the first day, I felt more comfortable about coming to train. Ciaran is very patient, guiding me through this process , taking notes as to my ability, always giving positive feedback in my progress. His attitude and ability to train someone like myself (over the age of 60!) has improved my confidence in my ability to "get in shape" ! I've been sharing the experience with others I interact with as well...encouraging everyone, no matter what your current body shape is...there's hope here! No intimidation what so ever! Happy to be a trainee, Patti Norris :)

If you're having doubts about signing up or trying a trial day at Burn, let me encourage you to go for it! Do it for yourself.

Inspirational quotes are on the walls throughout the businesses. There are also bathrooms and storage areas for your items. The gym sells products such as protein powder and workout gear. I first learned about Burn boot camp from a Yelp event I attended. I really enjoyed the workout but I did not return until BBC offered a 6 week "Commit to Fit" special that I participated in. During the six weeks I obtained awesome results losing inches, lowering my weight & body fat percentage. Recently I joined the gym knowing that I will continue to get great results. The trainers like Sarah, Sam & Lindsay are amazing. They are so motivational & encouraging. The trainers make a point to know your name & keep you on track. Modifications are also offered during the 45 minute workout. I love that the workouts are never the same. Each week a protocol is released to inform you about what the workout will focus on each day. The gym also offers focus meetings to discuss your goals, work on any issues such as your diet and determine your progress. BBC also offers childcare for individuals that have children. The gym has fun events like date nights and Christmas parties. They even donate to good causes throughout the year. With a membership you are able to go to other Burn Boot camps in the area. I don't like working out but this gym keeps me motivated & wanting to work out frequently. Check them out with a free two week trial!

These are not those run-of-the-mill type routines which you can find on a DVD.

I highly recommend Isotolp Fitness. Go ahead and give Chris a call and you will be happy you did.

Because I don't have healthcare this year, I decided to get back into the gym to work on becoming strong again, to lower my blood pressure, and to help with my stress management. When I signed up for my gym membership, Coach Shaw's name was recommended, and I reached out to him to get started. It's been one of the best decisions I've made in recent years. Coach Shaw has gone above and beyond from the very beginning. He helped me establish my goals (which are more about function and health markers); set me up with a meal plan and a training regiment. not only that, but he requires weekly check-ins to go over sleep, water intake, general movement outside of the gym, digestion, supplements, etc. I wanted a trainer who would take a holistic approach, and Coach Shaw embodies that!! It's been a month and I'm feeling so much stronger, my blood pressure is down, my clothes are fitting better, I'm sleeping better. I've been able too prep all my meals and hit all my workouts. Worth his weight in gold, genuinely!

When you are under his guidance, he is not just your personal trainer- he will tailor a nutritional plan to fill your needs, he will celebrate all of your wins and he is not afraid to call you out when you don't meet your potential. My attitude towards my physical health has changed completely under his guidance. In the almost 6 months that we have worked together, I have lost inches where I wanted to and have gained so much strength and endurance. If you are willing to put in the work and listen to his suggestions Lamar will help you reach all of YOUR goals. That's actually one of the first things that impressed me about his training style- he takes the time to listen to what you'd like to accomplish and will use all of his knowledge to propel you forward. Before every session he will take a moment to check in and see how you are feeling that day and will adjust your training accordingly. When you are working, he will adjust your form to make sure no movement is wasted. Oh and did I mention that he never stops his education? This is not some magic quick fix program but rather he will show you how to make lifestyle changes so you can maintain a healthier version of yourself. I cannot recommend his services enough. When you are ready to make real change and commit to yourself come find Lamar. You won't regret it.

Downside for me (and most everyone) is the app, but that's not enough to affect my rating.

It took 2.5 hours and multiple attempts to finally get a live person for me to speak to about cancelling my membership. I was told I couldn't do so--the one-year contract I signed stated that it is subject to increases. 58%!!! Stay away from any form of Camp Gladiator in any form!!!

The tone slightly shifted a bit when I expressed my needs to compliment an existing gym membership and routine I already have. The plans offered didn't match my preferences.

Apparently, it's been around for 30 years, but I just discovered it when a yoga meetup/nonprofit listed their classes online. I first went to try their Adaptive Yoga class, which is on Mondays. As I left, Anita handed me a pass to try a class for free when she noticed me looking at the schedule. When I mentioned that my Mom would probably like it there, she even handed me one for my Mom! I've since been back a couple times to try their twice monthly Yoga for the Core class on Fridays. That one is my favorite. They have group and small group fitness classes every day of the week so the hours vary based upon what's offered from 6am to 7pm. I'm looking forward to trying more, but in the meantime, I intend to keep returning for those yoga classes. My only complaint is that I wish they weren't directly across from Cookout!
