Came in this morning for the first time. It was a 60 minute class with a live DJ which was pretty…read morecool. There were 27 different stations: 40s on, 15s off with a 60s rest after the first round through. Essentially, it's nonstop movement for the full hour. The instructors explained each movement at the beginning but that's a lot to go through all at once. There are TVs all over, which helped us follow along with what to do at each station. The instructors were really into it - I found that really motivating but since there was so much going on and the music was loud I found it hard to hear any feedback/ instruction. They did come around to give individual feedback and scale movements up or down accordingly to each athlete but trainers can't give general instruction with an entire class doing 27 different movements at once. For an hour of intervals, it's pretty expensive at $35 a class. I'd probably give a strength based class a go. Overall, pretty fun to do with a group of friends. I see the appeal.

It is also relatively free of annoying, pretentious people and the staff (not that I'm there to have lengthy chats with them) is fairly friendly, helpful and what-have-you. The cost is somewhere between Bally's and the glorious Powerhouse Gym of the scenic Northeast (other gyms I have, in some capacity, been to). They don't force you into a contract or give you a schpiel and a tour and a subsequent stalking. They do, however, make you pay a hefty deposit upon joining. I rationalized the monthly fee by continually refusing to pay those Comcast heathen and going cable free. Clearly, I made a healthy choice... ...but getting back to Lifesport: it's clean and well organized and has every type of equiptment you might need to pursue whatever individualized fitness regimen you chose to adopt. You will have relatively easy access to everything unless you're there around 6pm on a weekday. At these times, you have to sign up for each piece of coveted cardio thing you wish to use. Further, you can only do this in 20 minute incriments, which can be a bit irritating. If you fail to sign up during these periods, you are likely to get a tap on the shoulder from someone who has. This is the only drawback to this otherwise fine gym, perhaps besides the omission of individual cable TV's on every treadmill, complimentary soap-downs, personal fluffers and spontaneous gay sauna encounters. But this isn't Bally's, so you better not push it, Fairmount yuppie!!

I was a little skeptical at first as a first time gym goer after reading comments about the owner, but he means well. In regards to the gym, I personally like the quaint size. I don't feel intimidated being there at all. I just wish their class scheduling was more flexible. Days and times do not change. Ever. Most are turned off that prices aren't online, which is a pain. But, as long as they're consistent: $47/mo. for unlimited classes. $57/mo. for full gym use. $25-$69 enrollment fee depending on when you use a class for first time.

It's a good thing they were only three of us taking the class today. It was kind of awkward for me. Least favorite class I've taken so far from class pass and I didn't feel it matched the class description well. It was branded as a high energy Bey/Nikki/RiRi HIIT class but it seemed more like barre class with hit song's playing softly in the background. I did break a good sweat though, so...Mission Accomplished! I got in a good workout but it wasn't fun or engaging so I'll try somewhere else Update: the manager reached out to me and explained that a new instructor was subbing that course and did a bikini barre class with the Bey/Nikki/RiRi soundtrack which made so much sense. She invited me back to do the actual cLass I signed up for and it was much more fun and engaging than the first class I did

Coming up on a year of Retro Spring Garden membership and I do really enjoy this gym. It's located…read moretwo blocks from my apartment which obviously checks the convenience box, but its set up is also laid out in such a way that is conducive to solid workouts for actual bodybuilders and regular folk alike. Liberal use of the massage bed and probably 150 protein shakes (which are delicious) on top of that have made my experience well rounded. Staff is super solid and the place is almost always in the process of being cleaned (which is nice). Only drawback is I've gone in and immediately walked out maybe twice due to the sheer volume of humans being insurmountable. I think if they removed the turf and added more machines (another inverted leg press chief amongst them, tricep dip machine, seated row machine, another one or two cable crossover machines, etc) this place would truly be firing on all cylinders. The turf is almost always virtually empty save for maybe a couple people stretching and one person pushing a sled. Lone critique aside, big fan of Retro Spring Garden and will be a member for as long as I live in this area.

No one wipes down their machines after using them (not even the trainers!), no one reracks their weights and if they do they're mixed up (5,35,45,10) to a point where you'll spend more time getting the right weights on than you do doing a set. Simply put this gym encourages more tripods and ego lifting than BASIC GYM ETIQUETTE. They're another ABC owned gym so cancelling is about to be a whole thing. For 80 bucks a month this is NOT worth your time or money, and as long as your card clears they have no interest in correcting these dirty and inconsiderate issues. Because as I said above the trainers don't even wipe machines down so we have a culture of this not a few bad experiences.
