I was severely overweight, uncoordinated, slow, and very unhappy with myself. I made the decision…read morepull myself together and to go to Global Fitness in Malta, where Z-Training is located. I didn't know it at the time, but when I met Zoltan Zborovszky, the owner of Z-Training, it would be the turning point of my life. The day I started working with him, I was at the highest weight I have ever been. Now, 80 lbs lighter, I'm in the best shape I've ever been. Zoltan may possibly have saved my life. He's definitely changed it. If you have the chance to work with this man, take it. It will be like-altering. The business is located in Global Fitness, next to the GNC and Price Chopper, in the plaza near Northway (I87) and Route 9. It's only about 20 minutes from Albany, 10 minutes from Saratoga, and just a few minutes from Global Foundries. He offers Boot Camp, a class called Z-Cycle Fit, and personal training. Honestly, it is the best thing you will ever do for yourself. Go. You will never regret it.

Judy's classes use a lot of music, and she teaches a Kripalu style yoga that gets your energy moving evenly throughout your body. There is a close attention to the breath. I always leave her class feeling energized, balanced and relaxed at the same time, what a gift!

You can immediately tell the difference in the precision and quality of staccato Barre over pure…read moreBarre or boot barre, etc. I have taken classes of all levels and these classes are hands down the best. Here's what I like: Despite Barre's reputation as skinny only and snooty, these classes are approachable and the environment is welcoming to all. You will still be motivated and worked - no pity parties here - but it's accessible to everyone and Renée makes sure form is correct so you don't get injured. And the classes are HARD. Lots of classes and a good schedule You don't get penalized for cancelation HOWEVER Book online fast bc asses do fill up. I've never seen anyone outright turned away yet, bc she has ways to adapt the room, but I wouldn't be surprised if they bump into that soon. The owner has a massage /LMT business and makes all teachers undergo her training which includes EXTENSIVE anatomy training. Trust me. Your hips and knees will notice the difference and thank you for it. Lots of gear and toys! What I don't like: parking can be a pain at times. Give yourself an extra 5 to 10 min. BUT if you're running late, let her know and she'll usually be able to set you up so you can jump right in Wish it was closer for me. I have about a 30 drive, but I make it 2 to 3 times a week usually.

Any place that cant tell me the price of their "programs" without a "consultation" makes me feel…read morelike I am visiting a used car lot. Just be transparent and tell people what it costs to join the gym. Secondly, it's at the east side of Aviation Mall, a side that resembles a ghost town in that is nothing but empty stores makes me feel like I am walking into some horror movie. I dont like to go to places that feel abandoned. The people on their team don't look in good shape themselves so if you are a gym that charges a premium, I want to have coaches that are in better shape than me.

Do I have stress? I didn't think I did until I joined this class and realized that I could relieve many muscle aches that are caused by stress. Who knew? The Center is located on Phila Street in a small building near Ben and Jerry's. Parking is plentiful in the public parking lot across the street. My friend and I have been lucky enough to find parking on the street near the building. Just a note: if you experience cold feet, wear clean / non-street shoes - I found the floor to be very cold.
