She created my lifting program for me each week, I completed my workouts at home and sent her videos of my lifts throughout the week for feedback, and every month I visited her awesome gym in Baltimore for an in-person coaching session. Choosing to work with Emily was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my fitness journey. Not only is she incredibly knowledgable about lifting, but she's also fun, patient, and encouraging! My form on all of my lifts (squat, deadlift, overhead press, and bench press) improved dramatically as a result of Emily's coaching. She pointed out corrections that I would have never noticed on my own. Her guidance gave me the knowledge and confidence to add some serious weight to my lifts and now I'm stronger than I have ever been in my life. If you're considering a membership or coaching with Emily or anyone at Fivex3, just go for it! You will be incredibly happy that you did!

They also added a glute builder machine. It's not a version I've used before, but it'll do. Lastly, I always finish with time in the sauna. It's always nice & hot.

9pm CFG BANK ARENA…read more SUMMER WALKER TOUR Parking was horrendous on this night. I did not know there was an Orioles event happening. I drove around for an hr looking for parking. The parking garage was price gouging $30 , 40 , 50 bucks ! I paid 50. I parked in the Days Inn parking garage behind CFG . DO NOT WEAR HEELS !!!!! Be beautiful but the amount of concrete and slippery floors in and around CFG will wreak havoc on your body the day after your CFG event. I am currently soaking my feet in epsom salt water. AANYWAYSSSSSS You can see from all angles at the CFG. The floor seats are probably the worst seats to me. Because you can not get an advantage over someone taller than you. Sitting on the side higher up is better unless you have the money to sit front row of stage. The elevator is hard to find if you are disabled. The traffic will be insane when you leave your event. Honestly it's best to uber . You will pay the same amount without the hassle of driving and parking. The best place to get dropped off or picked up by the Uber is Baltimore convention center . It's right by 395 and it has its own traffic loop so the uber can wait safely for you. The ppl at CFG are helpful please don't give them a hard time. They are just trying to do their jobs.

As someone who loves exploring new concert venues, CFG Bank Arena was a fresh experience and, overall, it did not disappoint. First things first: I splurged for a pit ticket because two of my favorite bands were playing. No way I was missing out! The pit setup here is fantastic; you get your own dedicated entrance, which keeps things flowing smoothly (no huge bottlenecks with folks headed to other parts of the arena). Once inside, you have access to bathrooms, bars, and merchandise stands just for this section. I can't overstate how convenient this was, especially the private bathrooms, which were consistently clean all night, and the bar service, which was quick and friendly despite the crowds. The sound system deserves a serious shoutout. Even with the high-energy acts and loud crowd, everything was clear and absolutely electrifying. This was my first time experiencing a show here, and the acoustics delivered major arena vibes without any muddiness or distortion. A small downside: since the pit area is so sectioned off, I wasn't able to easily connect with my friend who was in the seats. Once you're in the pit section, you're basically committed for the night unless you want to risk missing parts of the show. Not a huge deal for a solo adventure, but worth noting if you're trying to link up with people in other areas. Great arena, great experience. I would absolutely return for another show, especially if I can get a spot in the pit again!

Sifu Tim and Sifu Wayne and everyone else made us feel welcome from the start. You can more or less learn at your own pace, and the teachers and their assistants (Andrew, Alec, Ian, etc) are all very nice folks. I and my wife are really enjoying it. We go in for something different to do, and for physical wellbeing, and we are very happy we did. The school is easy to find, right off Harford Road. Parking is easy, and the facilities are clean and first rate. We've only just started, and we are thoroughly enoying ourselves. Give it a try!

The sifus do make sure someone walks me to my car when my husband doesn't come to class with me, and Sifu Wayne likes to show women some self-defense moves early on. However, I get to class by myself, and because another school shares the building, I have to park farther and walk when they have class. Entry also requires a key card (which I don't have), so I've had to wait... and been approached by undesirable elements. Everything else about this place is great, if it's what you're looking for. What it's not: (1) A traditional martial arts studio with all of the formality, decorum, and strict discipline. Nobody cares if you come late, leave early, or check your phone because everybody knows everybody else has lives. There's also a lot of laughing. It may be jarring for those coming from more traditional backgrounds. (2) Large. Class size is small and varies on a daily basis (about 2-15 people). You'll get individual attention from a sifu / assistant, but there are fewer different people to practice with, and it's an adjustment if you prefer big classes. However, those who come do so because they enjoy it, and they won't let you slack. (3) Aggressive. If you mistake a lack of chest-pounding for being weak, I think you'll be missing out if you don't at least give this place a chance. (4) Cardio-intensive; I still maintain a gym membership for that reason. Instead, they work on strength, via drills of actual techniques (as opposed to push-ups and suicides, which never helped anybody in a fight). Between shoulder workouts (to maintain your guard) and chain punches (I counted 675 punches during a typical warm-up... on one side), you will get some awesome arms. Kicks, stances, and shuffles will work on your legs. Why I like it: (1) This is the 5th martial arts school I've trained with (including a very good and well-respected one), but the first to actively encourage taking notes. Whereas others focused on techniques and dominating your opponent through sheer speed and strength, this place emphasizes -- from day 1 -- the principles behind why things are the way they are. They also welcome questions, and constantly ask if you have any. Nitpick: They talk about the science of wing chun as if it's unique; I don't think it is. By definition, all martial arts were originally about physically confronting another person, and they all had to work, i.e., science. The sports emphasis of many martial arts these days often results in individuals who miss key things about self-defense, but if you find someone who knows what they're doing, you'll be fine. With that said, I think these people know what they're doing, and they make a point of communicating it. The eye training fills a gap for me that the vague "Watch your opponent" or only slightly better "Watch your opponent's shoulders" never did. They do this frequently (and actively check that you're watching what you're supposed to be watching), so a month in, I was better able to identify the strikes being thrown at me. (2) The sifus work with my husband in class, then give us exercises to practice at home since he can't come regularly. They don't withhold martial arts "secrets"; they want you to learn, and they work within your limitations. (3) The instructors push you with good humor, not by yelling or punishment. However, they want you to train safely and leave it up to you to decide if you need to sit out. They also lighten up their strikes as your body is still adapting, and you're welcome to use their arm guards. (4) Sifu Wayne fights with you at your level. He'll push you enough to expose holes in your guard or understanding so that you think about what you're doing, rather than mindlessly perform techniques. (5) I'm laughing at the review comparing this place to the United Nations. While there is more diversity here than on the street, for a while, I thought I was the first of my kind, and I have only seen 2 other women at practice. I don't mind so long as the guys use deodorant and aren't testosterone-y, but I know some women like a higher ratio of their own. I do think they try to make this a comfortable environment for girls, though. A guy checking this place out used some crass language (he called it "being blunt," but it was misogynstic). The sifu politely asked him to watch his language in mixed company. (6) Sifu Wayne and Alec also teach the kung fu club at JHU. Alec said it's a legacy from Sifu Wayne's instructor. I've met people with a lack of respect for the culture from which their martial art derives, who thought they were self-made martial artists, or were just plain arrogant, so this nod to his roots is refreshing. Students at the Harford studio are welcome here.
