She is good at listening and her use of the massage gun on my left hip and back and gluts did wonders today! I am really pleased with the results in just two visits and I look forward to my future sessions. I signed up for two 50 min sessions a month for three months and after that it becomes a monthly contract. I booked my sessions about two weeks ago as I know I will make time for me when I put myself on my schedule. They are open on weekends and I like to go after a long run or race to help with recovery. I even received homework of videos to watch and stretch with, so I put that on my daily calendar to make it a good habit. After all, a Tae Kwon Do instructor told me many moons ago that "Aging is the gradual loss of flexibility" so Stretch lab is helping me to stay young!

First the good news…read more.. I've had appointments with 3 different therapists and all were great. My mobility and flexibility have steadily improved over the last three months while my pain has decreased. Now the bad news... Your "membership" will include credits for some number of visits per month. Those credits will expire at the end of the month, so use 'em or lose 'em. If you need to suspend your membership for whatever reason (e.g. I travel a lot), StretchLab will charge you $15 to suspend your account and not lose any existing credits. I signed up for a 3 month membership and planned to continue my membership but reduce my visits from 4 per month to 2 per month. However, StretchLab charged my card automatically for an additional 4 visits in the next month. When I called and mentioned I had signed up for a 3 month membership, I was informed that monthly renewals occur automatically and require a 31 day notice to end the membership. It's a good service, but caveat emptor. UPDATE: thanks for your response, Shannon. However, at the onset I agreed to four visits per month for three months. I did not consent to ongoing charges. This is an excerpt from the email sent to me by StretchLab at the beginning of my term: AGREEMENT DETAILS (3) x **Four 50 Minute Stretches per Month This is misleading and your potential customers deserve to know.

I'm a BLAST OG, meaning I joined BLAST back in 2013/14 when it used to be called "Blast 900" in…read moreAthens. I've since moved out of the area, but was back in town scoping neighborhoods for when I return to ATL. I decided to stop at the Blast Buckhead location for old time's sake. Unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to my memories. The class that I attended was a 5 min block class which I never cared for in the past and didn't care for this time bc there's not enough time to work up a good sweat at each station before transitioning since the clock keeps running during transitions. This location also has zero COVID safety protocols: because of the constant switching, there is no time to wipe off the shared equipment and wipes aren't even provided on the floor. My biggest gripe, though, was the instructor and his music. I enjoy boutique fitness classes and the playlists usually get me pumped for a great workout. This instructor played LOTS of pop and rock and a handful of 80s/90s R&B songs. By the time there were 20 mins left in the class I hadn't heard a single hip hop song so I asked if he would mind playing some. His response? "Umm... we have to play stuff for everybody." I responded "yes I know. I just haven't heard any [hip hop] so that's why I asked." His response rly annoyed me. I am not a fitness class newbie. OBVIOUSLY most instructors play a variety of music for "everybody" but completely excluding one genre of music doesn't seem like you're playing music for "everybody." Am I not a part of that number? Also, I've been to countless studios-- OTF, Solid Core, Barry's-- and the instructors there ALWAYS welcome requests from participants bc we are the ones working out! I don't plan on joining when I move back. Ugh what a bummer.

I arrived a few minutes early for my first class and was warmly greeted by the front desk. She checked me in and gave me a tour of the space. The restrooms and shower area was fully stocked with goodies in case you left something at home. Good to note if you are headed to work after a workout. I dropped my keys into a locker and waited for class to begin. The instructor, Denae, called me into class a little early and showed me the equipment and treadmills and how everything would flow during the workout. These treadmills go up to 30 incline, woah! Cold water bottles and towels are provided too, so amazing! Class began and we warmed up. I was already breaking a sweat and feeling good when the first block began. The class is broken into smaller blocks of floor and cardio work. After the intervals on the treadmill, it was time to swap to the floor. A super intense workout with long and short resistance bands were killer. I needed to change my band for a 'beginner' band, which the instructor noticed and assisted me so I didn't have to move from my station- Thank you! Fast forward 60 minutes and we were finished, cooling down with some stretches and lite ab work. I left feeling awesome, it was a great experience.

This is the one & only place that I truly believe a 5 star rating just isn't enough! Where do I…read morestart.. This may be a long one so buckle up. First and foremost, I am just your average chick in the sense that I do NOT habitually workout, count my calories, meal prep, etc. I did have a membership at LA Fitness for 3 years (2015-2017) but was really only actively using it for 1 year so I finally made the decision to cancel it. I first step foot into this box July 4, 2017 when my boyfriend invited me to come to their post-WOD ("workout of the day") BBQ. I literally only came for the food, sorry! At the time I still held a membership at LA Fitness and had absolutely NO intentions of committing to another gym; Especially not CrossFit. But of course everyone urged me to give it a try and I left that day with the mindset that CrossFit was a cult (lol). [...Fast forward to March 2018 when the 2018 Reebok CrossFit Games were going on...] My boyfriend asked me to come to the box with him every Friday this month to record his WODs and so I did. On the last week of March, he spontaneously bought me a Groupon for their Fundamentals class ($32) and the rest was history... I've never found a fitness program that I enjoyed until I started CrossFit. Reasons why I love this program (and why it works for me): *Your WOD is created for you & released on their app (Wodify) 8PM the night before so you never have to pre-plan before coming. Plus, they're typically only 15-30mins long but it'll get your HR way up there bc of its style of HIIT. *You always work out in groups/classes which is motivating when you feel like stopping mid-workout but everyone around you is still going strong. Everyone is also so welcoming & full of encouragement! *If there is an exercise that you are unable to do, there is always a scaled version of it or some type of exercise you can do to work on those targeted muscles. *There is always a coach present to stretch you out as a group, ensure everyone warms up properly, & guide you throughout the WOD/correct your form if necessary. *They have a great sound system & nothing is better during a workout than music drowning out the sound of your pain. More about the Groupon Deal: Fundamental classes start at the beginning of every month. Classes are MWT @ 7:30PM for the first 4 weeks. You will then graduate to the intermediate class which you will be allowed to attend for the following 2 weeks and decide if you would like to purchase a membership. You get a cool swag bag for joining which includes free monthly body composition analysis at Max Nutrition. More about CrossFit Valitus: Classes are offered 6 days/week (Monday-Saturday) with M-F at 6AM, 7AM, 12PM, 4:30PM, 5:30PM, and 6:30PM and Saturday at 9AM or 10AM. Some Saturdays are partner workouts to which you're more than welcome to bring a friend/family member as long as they're familiar with the WOD's exercises. They're also open on Sundays at 12PM as an open gym so you can come and work on any exercise that needs improvement. Oh, did I mention you get access to Dynamo's Swim Club!? Lastly, there are currently 4 coaches and every single one of them is awesome in their own way. *Crystal--The owner and awesome fundamentals instructor *Art--The head coach who's great at making sure you're stretched out for you WOD and trains our triathlon team *Rene--Beast crossfitter who also holds flexibility and strength training classes a few times a week *Isa--Best WOD DJ and motivator since she Rx's just about every workout (sometimes 2-3x/day!) Whew, that was a long one but I warned you! I know CrossFit may seem intimidating and even scary to the average person but don't knock it till you try it. It's only been a little over 2 months for me and I've already seen changes within my body and PR'd more exercises than I could even count. I'll end off with this quote: "A year from now you will wish you had started today"

I have been working out with Gina in the Small Group Personal Training classes for over 2 years…read more I went to Gina with a concern regarding my Sugar A1C suddenly increasing and suggested I go to a Nutritionist. I did see the Nutritionist and she gave me the normal food pyramid to follow. I told Gina about the suggestions and she had some good advice regarding a food plan that I could follow that would address the sugar more directly and help my overall eating habits. We agreed she would help l me with the new plan. First, she came to my house and we did a full sweep of the foods in my pantry and refrigerator. She pointed out all the foods I had that contained way too much sugar and carbohydrates. She also educated me on the different additives that also were bad for me and contained sugar. She educated me on the different oils in foods and advised on healthier choices. She explained how to read the label and determine good from bad. Next, she took me to the grocery store and we went through every department and determined the best choices for me. We read through the labels and ingredients on everything we purchased. Teaching me that for ingredients, less is best. After grocery shopping Gina help me prepared some healthy meals that could be frozen for future days. The dishes were high in protein and very low in sugar. These dishes were delicious. I have learned that eating my carbohydrates has to be early in the day and focus on vegetables and protein later in the day to stay satisfied. I always thought fruit was great, I ate bananas daily and apples at night. I now know these were bad choices for my sugar and that time of day for sugar and carbs is critical. Anyone that feels overwhelmed with all the different diets and choices needs to spend some time with Gina. I never realized how uneducated I was on nutrition and its impact to my overall health. Take a few minutes with Gina to discuss getting on her schedule to learn how to live a Healthier life and eat to be fit. This experience will change my life and prevent me from being medicated for my sugar and possibly many other health issues. Paula Boone Psboone@bellsouth.net
