They really get to know their clients and make working out enjoyable. The bootcamps that I attend seem to fly by! They are super knowledgable and are always willing to help you work on whatever you feel you need to work on. It's a positive atmosphere where you can feel free to ask questions and share some laughs. They have really fun and interesting monthly group activities that you can sign up for. ShockYard also gives back to the community by participating in workouts and tying them into some kind of community service. They've participated in kickball tournaments to raise money for dog rescues, Relay for Life walks, and kayaking and hiking while cleaning up Morton Park. I would recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to get a great workout while having fun.

I've been a on and off member of this gym for about 10 years and couldn't recommend it any higher…read more A family run business that continuously reinvests into their equipment and expansion. Over the past four years, they have purchased new equipment, and bought adjacent buildings/rooms to give their customers more space and selection. The staff is very friendly and flexible for students and people coming in and out of Ithaca as long as you're upfront with them. As a gym alone, it's certainly the best gym in Ithaca amongst it's competitors, and one of my favorites that I've ever been apart of.

All of the teachers are so knowledgeable about the body and alignment they and genuinely care. The pilates classes work miracles for back pain and other body aches and pains that start up after age 50. There is a variety of classes which is really nice depending on your mood and what you feel up to accomplishing physically. This is a top-notch studio and if you are looking to get stronger in a safe and productive way, this is it. Plus everyone is so nice. Five stars. Highly recommend.

Joining Vellidan (formerly The Pilates Room) was the best New Year's Resolution I made for this…read moreyear. This space is warm and welcoming and all the instructors have been wonderful while also being completely unique in their focus and delivery. I started January with the unlimited membership (which I highly recommend) so I've taken Facial Refresh, Core XIIT, Pilates (mat) and TRX classes. Each class and each instructor has something different to offer, and with the small class sizes you feel like a part of the community immediately. From week to week the instructors remember specific injuries (to recommend modifications), goals and other pieces that are so important to substantial growth in strength and stamina. The online system is very easy to use to sign up for classes and the cancellation policy is extremely fair. Being right in the heart of Fall Creek with ample parking, the commute there is never a problem. In addition, the class times are perfect for my schedule and they have so many various classes to offer, it's so much more than just Pilates! Finally, they even have online classes if you can't make it in-person on a specific day, which I have also used and found to be extremely beneficial. I really can't recommend Vellidan enough. As a mom of two young children, this was the reminder I needed that feeling strong doesn't need to mean high intensity workouts with guaranteed injuries. Pilates is highly focused core work that is low intensity with a laser focus on correct form rather than overexertion. In just one month I already feel stronger and can feel my balance and core strength improving significantly. Thanks to Tori and the wonderful and knowledgeable instructors at Vellidan for providing such an important service to the downtown area!

Visiting from NYC and I wish I had this Crunch in the city. Extremely spacious and clean…read more(including bathrooms), and I can't imagine how it can get crowded - I'm here on a 9am Sunday and there's barely anyone here (then again, they're probably at church). Very well lighted. Group fitness classes and studios look amazing. Nearly double the power racks as the NYC Crunches, rows of benches/dumbbells and cardio machines, and lots of weight machines as well. Everything works, as far as I could see. I have no experience with the staff and/or management/billing, so I can't respond those comments regarding that. Otherwise, I had a great experience.

This is a very corrupt gym that defrauds its members, and if you read some of the other comments…read morealready posted about them on Google, you'll get an idea of how they bill you incorrectly and never get back to you when you try to lodge a complaint or get it worked out. (You'll notice that they do seem to post the same robotic "sorry about that" reply to each complaint in these reviews, as if there's nothing they can do about anything.) My experience was a year ago (I spent months trying to get it worked out and finally gave up, just took the hit, I'm 71 and the stress of the fruitless attempt was affecting my health). They assigned me a personal trainer who was wonderful, but out of the blue they fired her. They kept saying that they would assign me another, that they would get back to me that day, etc. etc., but they never did and they charged me for four months without providing a trainer (and that's the trainer's fee of $360, on top of the membership fee). They make it virtually impossible to get anyone by phone or email or via their website, and when you speak to the person at the front desk, they smile and say they understand and will get back to you that day - which of course, they don't. Don't be fooled by the friendly advice on their website about how to pursue a complaint - the routes they suggest are completely non-functional.

It's in a convenient location for people living near the Commons, has a decent number of cardio and weight machines, and offers yoga and dance classes that are included in the price of membership. Student memberships are available for $178 a semester or $326 for two semesters. I think they are expanding the gym once Cinemapolis moves into its new space, but I'm not sure when that might happen. I like the relaxed environment and most of all the convenient location. I'm so glad I don't have to schlep up to campus or drive somewhere to go to the gym.
