For me, having a trainer is not only important for technique and guidance, but also accountability.

The Villages Gym is the perfect place for everyone from newbies to fitness to gladiators that take on marathons. It has everything you need, but in a smaller, comfortable and clean space that allows you to work hard and feel comfortable doing it. To me, its the "Cheers" feel about it where everyone knows my name and is supportive of my efforts. Getting to the gym is a feat for me, I'm no athlete, and these guys always greet me with smile that is like that inner-high-five feeling. It keeps me coming back. Highly recommend their personal trainers. I see Heather Sholl, but I know they are all good. PS if you are looking for big lights, big city gym with complicated contracts, a pool, climbing wall and squash courts - this isn't for you. If you are looking for support while you do a workout using Pilates equipment, free weights, treadmills, bikes, ellipticals, weight machines, etc and a comfortable place to change and shower, you'll love it. And by the way, if you don't love it, its no big deal because you pay month to month. The owner says they want people there who want to be there - not because they are contractually bound. Yes!

I will start off by saying this review may be a bit lengthy, but worth the read. I found Illuminate…read moreFitness through Instagram when I was thinking I would hire a personal trainer for my wedding next March. I recognized one of the gorgeous personal trainers Jourdan from high school and immediately reached out to her and filled out the intake form. Seeing how in shape she was and her feed really motivated me to pursue this gym. The intake process was relatively quick and I came in for my first session with Jourdan. She showed me a couple of workouts and showed me around both Illuminate Fitness and Illuminate sweat. We sat down and discussed goals and I was so pumped to start this journey. I will say from the first meeting I was so hooked by Jourdans bubbly personality. She is SO freaking sweet. She set me up with my current PT, Kelly who I adore. It's been about five weeks since I've started my meal plan and training with Kelly twice a week as well as attending the group classes four times a week. I've seen so much change in my body and even on the inside (my confidence, self esteem etc) I could literally cry. I was lying to myself before I started coming here eating whatever I wanted and "working out" in a constant cycle of going 110% and then quitting. I was so tired of the BS. This gym has transformed me inside and out. Everyone here is extremely genuine and supportive. I love that I have them to look up to. I love the community feel and how they are always looking out for their clients. I want to give a major shout out to Kelly, Jourdan, Nate, Colby, Emily and the rest of the team for everything you guys do for your clients. You guys really have something amazing going on here and I can't wait to see this business blow up. Y'all are amazing. And may I add I have lost four pounds, four percent body fat and gained about 3 pounds of muscle. I will attach my InBody results to show you, that you can do it to. I'm a nurse who works 3x a week. Once I cut the excuses, the results came. I'm so so happy. Can't wait to see my future results.

I've always played with the idea of having a personal trainer because of the knowledge and encouragement they possess. I started having Ivan train me about a month ago and in just 3 weeks, I've already felt the difference in my body, strength, and endurance! Not only does he teach me about form, but he's a great hype man! The rest of the trainers are great also - friendly, positive, and fun to be around - allows the space to be a fun atmosphere to be around. I'm currently working on a 3 month transformation that he's helping me with and included will be meal plans along with 2x week training. I heard about their foam rolling/stretching session that I will start to incorporate! Highly recommend and worth the investment!

I decided to go to this location instead of my normal LA…read moreFitness because I was dead set on getting dinner in Chinatown and wouldn't have made it if I went to any other location. The visit started off badly because they locked the doors before 7:20pm even though the location closed at 8pm. There was no staff at the front desk to check anyone in or open the door so a couple people along with me had to wait for another member to open the doors. I had to wait 5 mins for someone to open the door and ironically this delay is what made me have to stay until 7:59 so it bit them back. It seemed like there was only one or two staff working at this location so I feel like this was done to make things more manageable for the employees. However, this just shows bad management Set up: The cardio is separated from the weight section which ideal for me because it prevents me from being distracted whenever someone suddenly lets go of a heavy set of weights. Equipment: 4 The treadmills seemed a bit newer than some of the other ones I've seen at other gyms and the TVs worked! However, I wasn't the biggest fan of it because there was a couple times when my arm/hands hit the handles which has never happened to me before. Also, for some reason there was a 30 min limit on this machine and after you reached it you were forced to do a cool down(though you could override it) The studio was a decent size and nicely lit. It was nice to visit this location but I think I'll stick to my normal location.
