Garen and Eric were really fun, helped me with my technique, and allowed me to make modifications. The workouts were very challenging but engaging, and it definitely felt like an accomplishment once I finished. There's a lot of different equipment I used during the sessions, which is fun to try out (at least for someone like me who never goes to the gym otherwise lol). I also found that the people in the room are encouraging, and it felt like we were in it together.

This review is for Amanda's services as a Doula...she's AMAZING!!!…read more It was the first time I birthed babe at home, and it was her first time attending a home birth. However, the journey was really fluid at each transition with the assistance of Amanda's unflinching support. Amanda is very communicative from the start in wanting to know what kind of environment a Mom hopes to labor in, and she helps to honor that vision throughout. She is calming under pressure, and encouraging when you need reinforcement. Her energy is positive without fail! Her comfort techniques are creative and truly help distract from pain and fear. She was an indispensable factor in the pre-partum, labor, and even postpartum experience for myself, my husband, my son, and our tiny new friend :)

I could not be more grateful for Amanda. I came to her in the summer of 2015 and literally started…read morecrying to her within a few minutes because I was SO frustrated and felt so defeated. I had been dealing with Arthritis in my joints for a while and it was flaring up a lot during that time so I felt like getting comfortable in my body, feeling fit, losing weight and just feeling GOOD, was nearly impossible. Amanda has been a shinning light in my life ever since our first session. She shows up SO ready to support, kick butt + laugh while doing all of it. She keeps our workouts interesting and different each time. And most of all, she has been SO good about being mindful with my arthritis while still giving me a GREAT workout. I would be lost (and huge) without her. I just love her so much. I promise you won't regret working with her for even one second.

He is kind, gentle, and encouraging but also pushes me always to do my best and work my hardest. In addition, I'm a person who always gets injured when I exercise, but no longer! Fred is so careful and cautious in his training that I've never even felt a strain from my workouts. It's almost like physical therapy in many ways! Re: COVID safety concerns: This gym is different than most gyms where you hire a personal trainer because at SlowBurn, you and your trainer are the only ones in the gym (vs being in a gyms with tons of people). I highly recommend trying a session if you're ready for something new that works.

I would highly recommend reading Fred's book first , "The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution" which is available on Amazon and hopefully will be in e-book format soon. The book can be read in under two hours but gives you a great holistic view of what you are about to undertake in terms of training and even diet. The gym is the cleanest gym I have ever been to. It's cozy but has more than enough room to accommodate at least three personal sessions going on at one time. While I have not worked with all the trainers, the ones I have worked with have been enthusiastic, helpful, encouraging and knowledgeable. Like any personal training sessions they are definitely pricey but the view here is that with this type of work out, you really only need 1-2 sessions per week to see results. If money is tight you can do one home session (which is detailed in his Book) and one gym session per week. Because you are using one slow set to failure, working out at home is not that hard and minimal equipment is needed. I can't think of anything I'd change about Serious Strength and it's a pleasure to be able to focus on training when actually training and not be barraged by gym full of people.

After a long break from training, I decided to get back into Krav Maga for self-defense and found…read moreexactly what I was looking for at Krav Maga Experts: a professional, high-level, and ego-free environment. Tsahi and the instructors are exceptional, focusing on real-world applications and tailoring their approach to your specific skill level. The training safely simulates high-stress scenarios, teaching you to maintain "relative" calm and understand the mechanics behind every move. Beyond physical techniques, they prioritize situational awareness and the confidence to avoid trouble before it starts, if possible, but to use the tools they teach to protect yourself and your friends/family without hesitation if you ever have to. I highly recommend KME for anyone seeking straightforward, welcoming, and practical self-defense.

Joseph is very sweet, but he will definitely make you want to push hard. He's very accomodating when it comes to injuries or diferent levels of fitness.

The kids get to be wheeled around in the stroller and watch me work my tail off! the cool thing is that we are always moving from place to place during the class so the kids don't get antsy in the stroller. To them it's just a regular 1 hour walk in the park...(if only they realized how hard I was working!). I noticed a dramatic increase in muscle strength after only a couple classes. After 4 classes my body shrunk and my pants were loose! I will def continue with the next season and I am positive I will be able to wear my old "pre-baby" bikini this summer. This class is good for all moms, but specifically the moms who worry about lining up child care in order to go workout --- that's totally unnecessary with this class... buckle the babies/kids up and take them with you to this class! PS- I should mention I had not exercised in 3 years prior to doing this bootcamp AND I bring both my kids in the double stroller and I was still able to keep up. I also felt weak, sleep deprived, lazy, and it actually helped me with all those problems.
