I had an appointment with the trainer but was running a few minutes late. I sent a text to my trainer, saying, "on my way". I was about 6 minutes late. Not to mention, I drove 30 minutes to get to the gym. When I arrived, the trainer was already gone. The owner told me that I had to pay for the session anyway. She had a habit of interrupting my training sessions- on a regular basis, for which time I was paying additional fees. I never had any compensation to make up for her extended interruptions, but yet when I was a few minutes late, I had to pay more anyway for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I quit! I found a much better gym with classes for the same price that I enjoy very much.

I took Barre class with Wendy and cannot rate my experience at Center of Gravity highly enough!

I wrongly assumed I could never be as good of a player compared to my early twenties, but Barre class got me back to that level (and I think even beyond it!) thanks to Wendy's Barre class. You don't even have to play a sport to see results, I would recommend Barre class at Center of Gravity to anyone! Everyone is super nice and very welcoming.

Thankfully, I found Center of Gravity and I am now a strong believer in the restorative benefits of yoga. Learning to breathe with movement and, strengthening my body through practice has resulted in increased flexibility for myself and less pain from arthritis. My instructors Wendy Orrison, Karen Stanley, Jen Coluzzi and Susan Dixon are professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and welcoming. During this time of Covid-19 the studio has offered almost all of their classes on-line at a discounted price to assist their clients and foster community. There is no judgement at Center of Gravity, whether you are a novice or someone who has done yoga all of their life. The environment is warm, inclusive of everyone and is a place to experience joy and laughter.

I was introduced to Pilates many years ago but just recently started taking classes more seriously. Rachel will start you out privately to get to know your body and movements and then you can move into classes (no more than 2 other people). Rachel is so patient and attentive, that cannot be matched at the big box Pilates studios. If you've wanted to try Pilates, give Rachel a call! Your body will thank you!

I've been going to Pilates at Energy Within twice a week for over a year, and I love it! Rachel,…read morethe owner and instructor, is amazing. She's been teaching Pilates for over 20 years and has a tremendous amount of knowledge. Because of her vast knowledge, she is able to address any specific needs and physical limitations you have as an individual. She really cares that people learn how to do Pilates right. The correct form is very important to her. She keeps her classes small enabling her to give everyone individualized attention. She has several classes throughout the day so if you miss your scheduled class it's easy to make it up. Every class is fun, and I've met so many great people in her classes. I highly recommend Energy Within...I wouldn't go anywhere else!!

The front desk is often unmanned, and I have seen numerous teenage non-members enter and use the weight room without any of the staff being aware of their presence. But the worst aspect is that there is often no lifeguard on duty, particularly in the early morning. The management of this Y must start running this place in a more professional manner.

Muscle Up Fitness has got to be the greatest fitness business to every hit Rocky Mount. In an area…read morewhere fitness center opportunities are sparse this is a gym that provides unheard of value. The head trainer, Kelly, has tons of experience and expertise in the fitness world and is constantly learning and improving her routines for her class attendees. The classes are crossfire like, but I would say are challenging and reasonable for people of all ages. The gym itself looks like something out of a construction yard, but that only adds to the charm of the place. The personal attention and energy you get from Kelly and her husband cannot be beat. Whether you are a fitness star or just starting out they will work with you to tailor their daily workout to what you need. The workouts change every day so you can always expect something different. At $10 or a month rate of $70 per class the value simply cannot be beat. In a major metro area you would pay double those prices for probably half the quality you get from them. So if you are in the Rock Mount area they are alway glad to welcome new people even just for the day! Check me out!
