My balance in tree pose has not meaningfully improved since roughly the Carter administration. Nobody has ever once made me feel bad about this. My instructor corrects my form, tell me to breathe, and move on, the way you'd coach a kid who's never going to make varsity but shows up anyway. Henry has played flag football, basketball, soccer, and t-ball here, and the youth sports program runs the way youth sports should: low stakes, high enthusiasm, coaches who are clearly volunteering their Saturday mornings and mean every word of encouragement anyway. I've watched him learn to actually pass a basketball on this court, badly at first, less badly now. The front desk doesn't need to remember my name. My card does that for them, photo and all, right there on the screen when I scan in. Still, they say it anyway.

So yesterday, July 9, 2022, I went to this facility for a tour; I was considering joining. I'd…read morecalled several weeks ago to see if I'd need an appointment to tour, but I was told no, just come in when convenient. Great. When I got there, at sometime around 3:30-ish, I went to the front desk, and asked the young man working there for a tour. He looked around, said he'd find "Jonathan" because "Ron" wasn't around, but he couldn't do the tour because he was alone at the desk at the moment, and after that there was "no overtime." He seemed rather merry about that; not sure why. A few minutes later, a young woman had shown up, and did a (rather shrill) loudspeaker request for "Jonathan." I guess Ron (I think that was his name) was still unavailable. Jonathan did show up; he was very personable. The time I spent with him was pleasant and he was rather amusing. The problem with him was that he could answer absolutely no questions about any room but the weight area, because that's where he works and that's what he knows. Say what? Why would they waste my time giving me a tour led by a guy who can't answer any questions? The point of a tour is, for me, the prospective member, to see the facility and to ASK QUESTIONS. Jonathan took me back to the front desk when he was done showing me around and told me that the young woman there (yes, Ms. Shrill) could answer questions for me, and off he went. Also standing at the front desk, on the side, was a somewhat rotund man with a pink Y shirt on and a name tag I couldn't read. Was this the missing Ron? I'll never know. So I had a copy of the class schedule, I'd seen the facility, and had no questions answered. I looked at Ms. Shrill and asked: Can you answer some questions for me? She replied: That depends on what you ask. She then dashed off to police some clean towels that a member was trying to take. All this time, Mr. Pink Shirt was standing there, leaning on the front desk, just looking around. Some back story: A few years ago, I was in much better shape. I was doing four brutal classes per week at Orangetheory Fitness (in Orlando at East Colonial where the best head coach of all time, Sammy, kept me on track and motivated). My work schedule got too busy for me to continue, and then I eventually ended up moving to Spartanburg. During that time, I put on weight, and my mood darkened. I realized that I missed the physical activity and the camaraderie a great workout in a great class with great staff can give. I had to ask myself: Am I going to find that at this YMCA? I was hesitant to go back to OTF because I'm seriously out of shape. I was looking at the Y because of the pool, and I knew they offered some yoga classes. I thought easing back into exercise might be the best way to go. Did I think I was going to find what I was looking for at this YMCA? No. Other than a couple of lifeguards, Jonathan, Ms. Shrill, Mr. Pink Shirt, and no overtime guy, I saw no other staff. No classes were being taught, and there didn't appear to be any personal training going on. Basketball? Forget it. The (lazy) staff there allows extreme play, which isn't encouraging, or safe, for someone like me. Nor did I see any cleaning going on. And that place needs some cleaning. The barely controlled chaos in the general pool was off-putting. There was some kind of party going on in what I guess was the "spin" room, and when those awful kids exploded out of that room, they were loud, inconsiderate, and underfoot. Were there parents with them? Yes. Did their parents do anything to control their awful kids? No. And apparently there are no standards at the facility; the few staff members there showed no interest in asking parents to control their offspring. We don't all love kids, and I for certain can't stand yelling, ill-behaved brats. Here's another thing: Kids don't belong everywhere. There should be a clear, and an enforced, policy about children. Anyhow, as I stood there looking around, and pondering everything, I understood where I needed to be. And as I turned to walk through the lobby to leave, not a single member of the meager staff there said a word to me. Not Ms. Shrill, and not Mr. Pink Shirt (who was still taking up space by the front counter for no visible reason). No effort was made to ask me if I had additional questions and/or concerns; no one made the slightest effort to persuade me to give the place an extra look and a chance. If that's all they're willing to do -- nothing -- when an opportunity to get me to join and spend there presents itself, how much more neglect will I face once they have my monthly fee? I'm going back to Orangetheory, pronto. No, the one in Spartanburg won't have Sammy, and that makes me sad. But it's going to give me everything the much-bigger Y doesn't, but should.

I discovered Namaste Fitness in the nick of time. I was dealing with a loss of our business and family issues that had me over-eating and feeling low and anxious. The incredible guidance from the staff got me through a really hard year! I started eating better, drinking more water, working out three times a week, and attending yoga. Within a few weeks I had lost 15 pounds and gained a new positive outlook. I've gym-hopped all over Greer and Greenville but Namaste is the GOAT. They combine circuit training with yoga, nutritional classes, and a tailored diet plan that is undeniably effective. If you start slacking off, don't worry--it does not go unnoticed. Expect someone on their team to check in on you that day. Several times I wanted to brush off a workout but knowing they are keeping up with me motivated me to "embrace the suck", as it were. Go see for yourself and take a tour with Ronel. The modern aesthetics have a clean, cozy boutique feel and there isn't a judgemental person in the building. The staff are smart, caring, and really want to bring out the best in you and I truly feel that. Best decision I made this year! read more

Bar none, Namaste Fitness Studio is THE BEST fitness studio for me! I have tried several other forms of exercise, gyms, weight loss regimens over the years, but nothing has helped me get fit, stay fit, get strong and get healthy with sound nutritional and fitness guidance than Namaste! Yes, I have lost weight, nearly 50 pounds, but the non scale victories mean so much more like more energy, healthy blood tests, glowing skin, an alert mind, more endurance, better mobility, healthy blood pressure, pulse rates, increased lung expansion, better sleep and more. You get encouragement, have accountability and gain friendships along the way. I don't know where I'd be without Namaste in my life! read more

Namaste Fitness literally changed my life, and extended it as well! I came in not knowing what to expect, but the trainers at Namaste quickly become friends and ultimately family. The exact same is to be said about all of the other members as well. At Namaste they meet you exactly where you are. No two stories are the same, and they are trained and equipped to help you formulate a plan to crush whatever goal you have! I lost 75 pounds in one year, and I am in the best shape of my life at 40 years young. I encourage you if you are on the fence to come check it out, and if you do, please come introduce yourself. I will be there at 8:15 every M/W/F.! Robbie read more

The methodical approach our trainers take and the phenomenal facilities coupled with monthly nutritional classes paves the path for success.

Can't say enough about the entire staff and the day in and day out positive attitudes.
