This gym is fine and serves its purpose I guess. But I like my workouts to be relaxing , which…read moreisn't really possible in this setting. At any given time, the thousands of mounted TVs show Fox News , ASPCA starving puppies, and some sort of graphic drama like SVU. Those three channels are on ALL THE TIME. I go to the gym to escape, not to continue seeing the horrors of our world blasted in my face. There are tons of machines, but about 1/3 of them are janky or broken. The majority of free weights and barbells are so old and worn that they don't have visible weight numbers , so I have no idea what weight I'm actually lifting. We were initially excited about the childcare they offer, but even that space is sad and uninviting so my daughter never wanted to go. (Also they incentivize members who leave 5 star reviews so take those with a grain of salt)

I am writing because the situation with one of your janitorial staff has become completely…read moreunacceptable, and I am done tolerating it. This is not a minor annoyance--this is repeated harassment, targeted behavior, and a blatant lack of professionalism from someone who has no business confronting members the way he does. This janitor has approached me multiple times in the locker room, following me around to lecture me about "making the floor wet" because I came out of the sauna sweating. Meanwhile, there are always several other members exiting the sauna at the same time, equally sweaty and using the facilities exactly the same way I am. He stares at them, says nothing, and then zeroes in on me. Every. Single. Time. Let me be incredibly clear: sweating in a gym--especially coming out of a sauna--is *normal*. Expected. Literally the entire point of the facility I'm paying to use. The fact that your employee thinks it's appropriate to tell a member to "stop sweating" is absurd. The fact that he told me to wipe down the floors myself because I was "too sweaty" is even more ridiculous. And the fact that he escalated this by running to the front desk to complain about me sweating is beyond unprofessional. He has threatened to "report me" to management for doing absolutely nothing wrong. I'm telling you right now: I will not to be harassed by an employee for using the gym properly. I will not be singled out while others are ignored. And I will not tolerate being followed or spoken to in a disrespectful, confrontational way in the locker room. I've been a loyal member here for more than three years. I pay for access to the sauna and locker room like every other member. If your staff cannot handle the incredibly basic reality that people sweat at a gym, then your training and supervision protocols need immediate attention. I expect this issue to be addressed swiftly and directly. If this continues, I will cancel my membership and make it very clear why. I am not going to keep paying for a hostile or uncomfortable environment created by an employee who seems more focused on harassing members than doing his job.

Lisa is a nurse with a masters in exercise science, and Pete is a former trainer for Army Rangers. In short, they know their stuff (unlike so many trainers at Big Box gyms who take two month certification course and then offer pseudoscientific advice that results in injury). Since working out with them, my back problems have drastically decreased, while my overall fitness has increased. And not only are they great trainers, they're great people! The gym itself is great. It's small, but it has all the equipment anyone would need for a workout, and they have several unique machines I haven't seen elsewhere. Plus, it's quiet and just has a better feel/vibe than so many corporate places. They don't have rows and rows of bikes, treadmills, etc.; it's not that kind of gym. It's a local business that specializes in personalized training for people who are serious about their health and fitness. If you're looking to get in shape (or in better shape, but with people who know their stuff and can guide you in your path to improvement), do yourself a favor, and hire Pete or Lisa to train you. For me, that decision has been one of the best investments I've ever made. In short, I can not recommend these guys enough!

I am SO excited to share my experience with Absway Fitness. I've been on a long fitness journey for…read moremany years since college trying different diets and fitness approaches. I had my best success with the help of a $$$ trainer in 2013 (200 down to 158 over a year before my wedding). Ten years and four kids later, I'd been working steadily to lose with diet only, but kept plateauing around 170. I avoided gyms and trainers because of the cost, but then a former trainer reached out with an offer I couldn't refuse. Less than $100 for a month-long fitness challenge that included his on-call support (phone and text), exercises that fit in my schedule anytime and required minimal equipment (mat, roller, bands), optional nutritional guidance, and a weekly live group training session using inexpensive equipment I already had in my house. What a deal!! The Absway Challenge really helped me hone in on my goal by adding in an easy-to-follow daily exercise regimen that included cardio and weight bearing exercises that boosted my weight loss over the month and toned me all over. In conjunction with the Dukan diet I was already following, the Absway approach helped me lose 3% body fat and inches all over my body (especially my waist). I had zero expectation going in except that the contest would be fun and that accountability would be helpful on days I didn't want to exercise. I am blown away at how toned my abs are and the muscles I've already built in my arms. In addition, I also made a big fitness goal: a healthy BMI. This is the first time since college over 25 years ago that I'm at a healthy BMI! I can scarcely believe it. I can honestly say I would not have gotten here without the accountability in this group. I made my 30-Day Challenge Goal of 15lbs lost this month which was huge, but the BMI milestone feels so much bigger. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for all of your encouragement, support, and accountability this month. Many days I'm looking at those stairs for the circuit or needing to start my own squat, lunge, plank challenge and thinking "nah- that looks hard. I can just skip it today." But then I think of all of the Absway community who are tackling this with me and it helps me reframe that this seemingly impossible task is only 15-20 minutes in 20-30 second intervals. It is so empowering to know you're beside me and that so empowering and together we FIND A WAY! If you're looking for a jump start to your fitness goal, need to add weight bearing exercise to help build muscle and reduce bone loss, or looking to break a weight-loss plateau with direct support from a trainer and an awesome community, highly recommend.
