Knowing she has my back and won't ask me to do more than I'm able at the moment is a huge benefit. I've worked with other trainers in the past and they have not shown half the level of care and professionalism that you get with Ann Pelino. If you want a private, custom experience, this is the place to go.

I've been working with Ann for over a year…read more Ann is a fantastic personal trainer. I've had continuous a personal trainer between 2003-2013, took a break between 2013 and 2015, but started working out with Ann in Nov 2015. In that steady decade of trainers, I worked with 6 trainers in that timeframe. Ann is among the best. To me the sign of a great personal trainer is their ability to adapt. An excellent personal trainer will still ensure you have a great work out if you sprain your ankle, have a pain point, or are bored with the same old activities. Injury: I recently sprained my ankle running; while we haven't been able to burn as many calories or get intense cardio in while I heal, we are still pushing those weights and keeping my upper body & core active. Pain Point: When I do have a pain point, I explain it to Ann and she 9 times out of 10 has a recommendation that helps to alleviate the issue almost immediately: for example, I occasionally have pain in my right knee - Ann will recommend specific foam rolling and the pain is gone. To me this demonstrates knowledge & expertise about the body that one can only get with a trainer who has been working with clients for a while. Variety: Given I've worked out with trainers for over a decade, I thought I had seen most workouts, activities, sets/reps, combination, etc. I had gotten to the point where trainers and the industry were simply renaming certain moves and I recognized it. I don't know where Ann gets her library of activities, but she will bring out a new move that combines actions and my brain LOVES the challenge! I just have to tell her I'd like to "change it up" and she instantly has us doing new moves. Ann helps keep me motivated; she often will text me just to make sure I get the workouts between sessions we discussed. We thoughtfully discuss her recommendations for working out between sessions. She always asks about my nutrition and has suggestions that help. I'm losing weight, but what's better I FEEL healthy. I'm so much more active again. I've started working out twice a day. I am able to run around before and after working out, taking care of chores with far more energy... the biggest thing is a return to a more active lifestyle: enjoying my passion for hiking and doing 1K foot mountains in a morning with friends and now I'm running 5Ks - considering a 10K & 1/2 marathon in 2017. A lot of that is my personal motivation, but Ann HELPS me and SUPPORTS me. I've been a client since November 2015 and I will continue being a client. I see her a minimum of twice a week.

I've been a member of this Y for over a year. A lot of the issues reviewers mention about…read moreconstruction are over. The main exercise area is newly renovated and has an EGYM circuit which is like regular machines except it knows where you are in training and sets the weights automatically. Best I've seen anywhere. Conventional machines available too. Lots of treadmills, ellipticals, bikes and rowers. With som flexibility there is no waiting off peak and even at peak wait is not a problem. Free weights are in a separate area as is a smaller area for TRX and stretching. I haven't used the pools, classes or courts but are all first rate. Parking, especially close to the door is limited, but hey you're going to the GYM. Haven't had much to do with the staff. No complaints. No towel service anymore. Locker room is ok and has a sauna. There is a physical therapy practice located within the Y too. Overall highly recommend.

It's not an uplifting environment on the inside. And the philosophy there is form form form.

Also they don't have a Cadillac and I never saw a ladder barrel when I was there. It's an ok studio.

Whenever I booked a slot for the trainer session, the trainer was absent without any notice. I was cancelling the membership but a guy who was at reception promised me a better service but there was no change.

Initially I was told that there is no fees if I cancel the membership but when I cancle they show me micro typed * conditions apply claus on the membership page. I have delivered the required hand signed letter ( they would not accept a direct email) and they still charged my credit card more than 2 months later! I informed my bank about it and they produced my fake or forged signatures on the agreement.

I struggled this evening with posting about one of the lamest massages I've had in my life…read more Struggle over. I worried that a business struggles to make it in this economy. I worried that perhaps the "therapist" just had an off day. Then it hit me. Who's going to worry about new customers coming here and shelling out $150 for an hour's worth of mediocre tepid substandard whatever this was? I will. What about my endless long work hours that would shock most people, coming to this place for a decent massage to relieve the bad body effects of extreme overwork but walking out with zero effect? I'll worry. Not one knot found, much less kneaded out. Zero reflexology. Faking it over and over. She started off telling me - not asking me, but telling that she doesn't talk "because she listens to the body." Guess her hands were deaf. I've gotten massages for decades here in the U.S. as well as other free countries. This wasn't just a below average massage - the only massage worse than this was a masseuse in her 70's down South that after just running her hands tepidly over my skin here and there, she left after she tried selling me a Bible. They're so charming down there I couldn't get mad. And I had never returned to Bennesere until today. My prior visit, I was subjugated and subjected to -and I'm not kidding you: an hour of unwanted Russian propaganda talking points. You think I'm kidding? I'm not. That massage wasn't great either and I wasn't buying "Ukraine had it coming". So i struggled tonight with whether or not I should just write privately to them but I don't want a third wasted hour offered. It's clear they don't hire quality masseuses. It's clear they don't vet or train these people. And for $150, I don't just expect competence: I deserve it. Never again.

They incorporate both weights and cardio for a total body workout. It's kind of like cross-fit but the workout is the actual full hour (rather than 20 minutes). If I were to offer one suggestion, although they give you time to stretch before and after the workout, it would be nice to be able to take a yoga / flexibility / stretching class as part of the membership there. Maybe like a once a week yoga class. They also have an easy to use app to check in to classes but they don't fill up so you don't need to reserve your spot well in advance. Most of the times I check in on the app on the way to the gym. It's a supportive environment and both Mike & Pasquale know everyone's name. I would have gotten a membership after my groupon expired but I'm moving out of state. But I highly encourage anyone to give it a try!

I've only been going to Ideal for a few weeks but the trainers make each workout intense and worth your time and money. Ideal also has a community feel to it. A lot of the folks that workout here seem to get to know one another which can make the workout a lot more fun and challenging in my opinion. During the work out, you'll probably hate Mike and/or Pasquale. They challenge you and may even yell a little (not in mean way). Their boot camps consist of TRX, rowing, weightlifting, body weights, cardio (running, jumping, etc), free weights, outside activities, etc. Moreover, there are many different rotations of workouts they'll go through within the hour which makes it helpful to get a full-body workout. You'll definitely leave exhausted but happy you came. I also noticed that they tend to use the entire hour. Some places I've gone to only have you workout for about 45-50 min, however the guys at Ideal use the entire 60 min. You really get a good workout in that time. I've started at Ideal by using their Groupon deal but will definitely continue afterwards. This is one of the few boot-camp places that offer unlimited monthly boot-camps and for a price that I think is worth it. I can't recommend this place enough. I love it.
