I wasn't sure if all clubs were included in the nationwide access. Fortunately, I was able to visit this club with my current membership. Kathryn was the staff at the front and was very friendly and knowledgeable. She informed me of what qualifies and not. From what I remember as long as there isn't a third party payer involved with your payment, your adult membership should be included in nationwide access - with exception of some individual clubs. I was able to join step class and had fun with Bonnie and her crew. Fast and efficient! Got a workout in while on vacation and I couldn't be happier.

It's very small and smelly because the entire gym is matted and confined, but when there's 20+…read morepeople in it climbing and sweating with their rockclimbing shoes and the place is poorly ventilated and not cooled, it makes sense. Very weird atmosphere...it's more like a social club for college students; most of the climbers just gather around in small groups in front of the routes and talk predominately more than they climb. They mostly just perch down in front of the walls and talk and maybe climb a route once every half-hour. This is a little unfortunate because it's a very small place and they do have places for people to sit and talk and tables outside the area of the climbing, but no one uses them. It would be really nice to sense a change in their business model and see them market to rock climbers and get more energy going in the place with a stronger rock-climbing culture instead of ethnic-culturally centered and queer society, but I guess that's probably the majority of the people who pay for memberships so maybe they don't have a choice.

This gym has a culture of disproportionate viewpoints that is promulgated across its customers on…read morelarge bulletins and leads to employees pinning their political opinions against climbers that "seem" to have views misaligned with the owners'. They claim to have a policy of inclusivity, yet do not. Their managers will even threaten to kick you out of the gym, if you seem to be expressive of a different point of view on topics, misaligned with their own. The weak leadership leads to unprofessional conduct, which in unfortunate, although isolated, situations leads will lead to climbers being attacked. While this place seems like a regular climbing gym, you may very well feel marginalized bullied here, and with an indifference from management and even the owner of the gym. The holds are always grimy, dirty, typically "gunked" with black rubber, sweat and chalk cake. The climbers in this area seem mostly timid and don't like to be approached, but most of them seem like cool people.

I almost hate to review, because I don't want the secret out. I only go to the Fitchburg facility…read more I was a member of EastY for decades, but this is so much better. The only downside for me is the commute to Fitchburg. As a swimmer, the pools were the selling point. Not huge, but they are all salt-water. Indoor 4 lane, indoor warm-water pool and outdoor 3 lane with adjacent shallow area means lots of options and a good way to direct people toward type of activity. It's not a facility that is geared toward kid memberships or programs, which is nice if you want people and facilities focused on fitness. I feel like there are a number of triathletes working out here. They do have a Masters Swim Club as well, which I might try. During COVID, they closed and cleaned every day for an hour, and I've seen that they've been maintaining the twice-daily cleaning schedule without closing (2:30pm and 8:30pm). I feel like the surfaces stay pretty clean, and there isn't excessive debris in the pool. Downside is that they aren't always the best communicators about how they are changing things up--more than once I've headed to the pool to discover the lanes are being used for a private lesson or a group class (like a Sunday night by the pool yoga). The upside to that is that they're working on finding ways to encourage fitness and interest, so kudos there.

There's an online sign up if you intend on attending class so they can ensure no more than X number of people will be in any one class. I thought I'd just sign up and attend classes and get thrown into the proverbial deep end of the pool. NOPE! These guys want to keep you safe and have you stop by for a training/orientation class. Then there's a 2 week On Ramp Class that eeducates you on the moves, names, expectations and so forth. Of course, if you've got prior CrossFit experience they move you along but it's nice to come in with a bunch of unexperienced people and learn together so you don't have to get all intimidated by what others know or do. The process of growth is left to your determination and involvement. There's a good mix of girls/guys in my class and in other classes. I tried it out to keep myself busy with domething different so I don't just stop working out completely and guess what... I intend on signing on for a longer period to work on my abs and arms. Will update more after my On-Ramp training process. SIdebar: we do a lot of squatting. It seems to be the bases of CF. idk. But my heiny is rock hard enough.

With such variety, no two classes you take during the week are the same which keeps all the classes interesting and engaging! Studio and all the equipment is always clean, the barre room is really large, and there's always hair ties, dry shampoo, etc. if you need it. All the instructors are really friendly. Also the classes vary in time so you are are daring enough to do a double, they will be 2 different types of classes. During the class, the instructor is guiding you the whole time and coming around to check on form, which was extremely helpful for me when I first started doing barre. A lot of the positions aren't regularly done so form is important to get your best workout in. Even after class, I always appreciate the community Barrecode fosters through their social media, sending the message of encouragement and support to everyone no matter where they are in their fitness journey and taking these goals beyond their health to their everyday lives.

Let me start by saying I have NEVER taken a barre class before and was actually pretty nervous…read moreabout it. That all went away as soon as I got there. The ladies at check in did everything they could to make me feel comfortable & confident: showing me around, helping me grab the stuff I would need for class, and answering all my questions. The class I went to was a classic barre class, so there was a focus on core, glute stuff, some upper body stuff, then more legs. The music was upbeat, as was our instructor, and that helped keep me going for the 50 minutes. I was surprised how challenging these little moves could be and as I type this my right butt cheek is feeling it. I was also surprised to not be dripping sweat by the end. Anytime I run or spin, it looks like I just got out of the shower, so this was a pleasant surprise. However, I still appreciated that the lights were dimmed during class. I am not great at doing things in time like leg lifty things, so I appreciated being able to retreat to the shadows. At the end, a really friendly stranger (who clearly knew what she was doing because I noticed & envied her on-time leg lifts/lack of shaking legs) came up and said she'd only been there a few months but it gets easier. She also said that none of the classes she's been to have been the same, so it stays challenging/interesting. Overall, positive experience! I would especially recommend it if you were interested in starting barre classes, but didn't know where to start.

Coach Johnny led the kids through 30 minutes of organized play and obstacle courses, followed by 30 minutes of open play time. They all finished tired and sweaty but with huge smiles. The gym also offers two party rooms (one with a single long table and one with two long tables) that they reserve based on the size of your expected group. The rooms have counters with a sink and mini fridge to use and there are lots of coat hooks and a shoe cubby. We thought this was a great option for a kid's birthday party that worked for a variety of ages. We will be back for open gym and probably another birthday party!
