If you're tired of:…read more - waiting to use one of 2-3 benches / squat racks / deadlift platforms - the overly sexualized "club" atmosphere of commercial gyms - annoying "trainers" trying to sell you "routines" / supplements - feeling too old, too young, or too weak Then this may be the perfect gym for you. The equipment is top of the line and plentiful, the environment is family-friendly, the owners / staff have decades of coaching experience, and I can just about guarantee that you will run into someone of your age and/or level of experience. There are definitely some elite lifters here, but if you show up and show that you're working on improving yourself you will fit in and feel welcomed right away. Don't take my word for it though. Call the number, set up a visit, and find out for yourself. It's really that simple.

Top of the line equipment and good atmosphere. HOWEVER. If you're willing to take off the headphones and get in with the evening training sessions, I GUARANTEE that you will be pushed past any limit you thought you may have had. You will get stronger, your technique will improve, and you will gain a family. It doesn't matter what level you're at coming in at, everyone's on the same level in there working toward the same goal pushing you all the way. Truly a unique experience that will take you and your training to the next level.

I just had my private bachelorette party at Sweat Like A Girl this past weekend and we all had the…read moretime of our lives! Heather hosted our party and she such a fun instructor. We were taught an array of moves on the pole and then moved onto a full chair dance routine. The women in our party ranged in age from their early 20's to late 50's -- and everyone had a blast! I can't say enough good things about our experience. As for the regular classes, I took a class here about a year ago and really enjoyed myself. Unfortunately, I don't live in the area or else Sweat Like A Girl would be my full-time workout studio.

I attended my first class at Sweat Like A Girl about two years ago. I was still pretty new to…read moreexercise with a ton of weight to lose, and very little idea where to get started. I quickly became tired of the elliptical, tired of the treadmill, and the only thing I knew for sure was that if my workouts continued to feel like chores, I'd never stick with them. I tried the Fight Club class after checking out classes at a few other gyms, and I was instantly hooked. It was first time I realized I could have a good time working out. It took me a while to try out some of the other classes, but now, SuperGirl is my favorite. It's always something different, but consistently keeps me working hard. But the really surprising thing was, it didn't take me long to feel comfortable there. Heather, the owner of the gym who also happens to be the main instructor for many classes, is equally a motivator, an entertainer, and a hardcore fitness instructor. I start out each class feeling scared for the intensity i know is about to be inflicted upon my body, and psyched, in the same was anybody is before they are about to do something they know is going to be completely fun and rewarding. Any class with Heather usually includes a stand-up routine at no extra charge. And not surprisingly, smiling and laughing a lot while you're sweating like crazy, definitely takes the pressure off. Actually, all the instructors are pretty cool, care about your success, and will give you a great workout. I've met a lot of people at this gym, and the pervasive attitude is one of support, non-judgement, and willingness to help each other out. The whole environment is pretty cool, and rare. There's something for everybody, whether your idea of fitness involves flipping tires, interval training, running, dancing, pole, or kicking and punching. And the price is definitely right.

They didn't tell me that I needed to buy or rent a wrist monitor so that was $110 I didn't expect then I forgot it one day and they charge me $10 to rent one. If you have a busy schedule be careful when you reschedule appointments they are not at all flexible. i missed a few classes and they charge $12 if you schedule and then don't make it. Overall it's very unfriendly from a customer service standpoint. The kind of management that writes a tough binding agreement and the quotes it at you.

I was also not a fan of the expensive membership prices. However, I realize that this is probably exactly what I need: combination of strength and cardio guided workouts in a class setting. No planning your workouts at all, just show up and do it. The workouts are challenging BUT DOABLE for all levels, even me. You'll be surprised in yourself in what you can do, you just have to try.

Just be aware that there are times that the lot does get full; however there is street parking. I was surprised that we had no difficulty with parking today. It was such a gorgeous, dry late Sunday morning. For parents with babies and young children in strollers (and for other "pet parents" using strollers) I have a beagle who has difficulty walking. She needs a stroller so I have brought her many times with it.... I don't have difficulty on the walking paths or in the parking lot... it's very easy for me which is so nice. It means I can bring both dogs with me alone at times (today was a super bonus because my husband walked our other pup). As far as wheelchair accessibility, I need to check it out more carefully next time. Having spent only a small amount of time in a wheelchair a few decades ago - I can relate to how difficult it can be to get around. I am pretty sure it's very easily accessible. I will check everything when I go back... The restrooms are pretty clean most of the time. It's nice that they are there!! There are many benches throughout the park. It's hard not to be "in the moment" and "mindful" while at this park. There's so much beauty. Today we saw many ducks swimming. And the sunlight against the bright blue sky...... Didn't want to leave!!
