My how Fitness Pointe has fallen in a few short years is a tragedy. The staff that once went out…read moreof their way to smile and welcome you by eagerly offering assistance are today far too busy sitting on their asses texting on their cell phones. They used to take your blood pressure by just noticing you sitting in a chair. Today, they're too lazy to get up off their asses! Don't blame Covid, that's any easy excuse and a cop out. No mouthwash in the locker room any longer! We didn't forget! Fitness Pointe did! Poor leadership that would rather blame someone for complaining about a problem person, in hopes one of them would cancel their membership so Mr Coward manager didn't have to take a stand. Missing leadership! Arrogant! Excellent at being pompous and arrogant! Then there's the therapy pool piranha and the school of disgruntled, mean followers that believe this is their own personal warm water swamp. The pool piranha feverishly splashes about from side to side hogging up three lanes is a message to everyone...I OWN THIS POOL! I COME FIRST! You must kiss the ass of the selfish pool piranha and follow it around, back and forth like a good little obedient fan. No respect for others! You can't enjoy the therapy pool alone because the pool piranha lacks attention and needs your constant validation. Then there's the employee with the strawberry blonde brush haircut that hates everyone including itself. Mean, belligerent and can easily grimace, flip you the finger or tell you to SHUT UP! Excuse me....Is one of it's tired, dated lines. When management lacks the balls to use their authority properly, you end up with sacred cow staff members, laziness and a few angered members calling the shots over the majority. Fitness Pointe isn't the best place to work out or enjoy your leisure. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME HERE! Not worth the aggravation!

This is not a family-friendly facility. My 14 year old tried to come with me as a guest to try it…read moreout (my 16 year old had come once). They said the 14 year old had to buy a package for kids which was $30 for 10 visits (no smaller packages just to try it out). When deciding on it when she was already with me in her workout clothes, we told the worker that she was going to sometimes come with her friend's family, so we would get it. Nothing was said about any rules against this. A month after that, I decided to cancel my membership because of several reasons (class times not convenient for a teacher. Rigid rules about teen memberships, etc). When I canceled, they called to tell me Tessa's membership would also be canceled since she has to come with me. I told them my understanding was that she just had to be with an adult. They would not budge and told me absolutely no refunds for any reason. This is very poor business. Also, their policies are so rigid...a 14-15 year old must work out with a parent. I don't know many teens that want to be glued to their parent's side when working out. Other gyms have much more flexibility. Other businesses would be more flexible with miscommunications. I'm glad we are ending our membership there.

One of the best CrossFit facilities in NWI! Their friendliness when you first walk in is…read moreimmediately welcoming and genuine. All of the coaches put in 110% in to make sure all of their athletes are correctly doing a movement. What's great is that they don't do it for the money; they do because they're passionate about CrossFit and helping others become better athletes. I can honestly say I love coming here because I'm always learning something new. The coaches are able to notice when you're doing something wrong and address it immediately because safety is always first. The box itself is always clean and tidy, the equipment is ready for an athlete's use, and they stay organized by posting what the WOD is on Facebook. They are committed to every single athlete they have; no one is ever treated differently than another. I love this place so much and have learned so much in such a short amount of time!

Anytime Fitness as a corporation is a great company, they have good nutrition and workout online…read more However, this particular Anytime Fitness in Munster is trash. First, The trainers there couldn't care less about your progress or form; they're too busy glued to their phones in the corner. Not only do they fail to provide any meaningful encouragement, but they also spend their time gossiping about clients and each other, creating a toxic environment. Secondly, If you have any issues with the trainer and decided to take it to the manager, the manager doesnt do their proper job in rectifying the situation, there's a lack of communication amongst everyone. Nobody know's nothing. Thirdly, when you try to cancel your memebership, the manager or region manager "Jennifer Crunk" try to do a "Corporation tactic" to intimidate you. For instance, I wanted to get out on contract because I wasn't satisfied with their services. Jennifer Crunk states that shes going to turn my bill over to the "credit card bureau" to hurt my credit and then insist that I "atleast" pay half my bill to get out my contract. Dont fall of this "Corporation tactic" if you want to get out of your contract. Email them stated you want to get out your contract and dispute any charge through your bank afterward. Simple. If you looking for a great gym, motivating employee and people who ACTUALLY want to help you in your fitness journey, and not be so money hungry. Try F45 Training or Crossfit,somthing more organic.

I don't usually leave reviews, but I feel like I need to share my experience…read more My visit was extremely disappointing, largely because of the manager, who I believe was named Crystal. During my complimentary workout, she was walking around barefoot, which came across as very unprofessional. She also made comments suggesting that not eating is a way to lose weight, which I found inappropriate and concerning. While I was in the sauna during my workout, I overheard her make multiple comments about people's race and body types. It created a very uncomfortable atmosphere and was not something I expected to hear in a professional fitness environment. I also witnessed her speaking disrespectfully to the employees working there. For someone who appears to be over 50 and is in a management position, I expected a much higher level of professionalism, maturity, and respect. Instead, her behavior was the exact opposite. To top it all off, after my workout, I felt pressured into signing up for a membership. Rather than answering my questions or encouraging me to join, the sales approach felt overly aggressive and made me feel like I had to sign up. Based on this experience, I won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this location to others!

"Trust the process." This phrase has had a significant influence on my experience in body…read morecontouring, which focuses on fat reduction and muscle development. Like many others, I have faced my share of challenges throughout this process. Achieving any goal demands dedication, hard work, and daily sacrifices. For me, it begins with rising early to walk for an hour and a half before heading to work, followed by training sessions with Bob at Heavy Metal Fitness twice a week, and additional home workouts for four more days each week. Although sticking to this routine has been challenging at times due to work and personal obligations, I have consistently observed a reduction in body fat and an increase in muscle. Alongside my training with Bob, I diligently track my macros every day under his guidance. It's worth noting that I eat more frequently throughout the day; I simply pay attention to what I consume. In the past five months, I have successfully shed more than 35 pounds and decreased my body fat by 4.5%. I can now see my obliques and abdominal muscles. Initially, I wore a size 36 in men's jeans, but I now fit into a size 32. I cannot remember the last time I wore size 32 men's jeans or have ever seen my abs. Every week, Bob monitors my progress, and recently, during a training session with him, he requested that I lift a 40lb dumbbell. Not knowing the workout, I was about to begin, he remarked, "The weight you are holding represents what you have shed over the past five months." While I take pride in this achievement, I have not yet reached my ultimate goal; however, I am confident with the training with Bob, following my macro plan and walking that I will attain it in due time. While the above mentioned is fine, the health benefits have been great. During a recent check-up with my primary care physician, my blood pressure and other test results were significantly better than what is typical for my age group. Although I am happy with my progress, the health advantages have been even better. In a recent appointment with my primary care doctor, my blood pressure and other results were considerably better than compared to what is normal for my age group. Friends and colleagues have noticed my physique and have asked me what am I doing. I always respond with the same message: "I am not special and or having amazing genetics; if you invest the time and effort, you can achieve the results you desire." I am eager to keep "trusting the process" with Bob. As a quick note, I almost never write reviews for products or services, but I felt compelled to share my experience, as I am sure many others have faced their own challenges. While I acknowledge that others may have had more favorable results, I am genuinely satisfied with my own outcomes. Thanks Bob.
