I used to train my clients here from 2019-2020. I purchased a 10 pack of sessions in March 2020 and…read morethe gym closed less than a couple weeks later due to COVID. I reached out to the owner (David/Dave) multiple times through email, text, and phone call about a refund for my unused sessions since the gym was not in use. He never responded to me. I moved out of state in the summer and knew FOR SURE I would not use the sessions so I reached out again because I needed the money and no response again! I received an email when the franchise reopened in October, yet again, I reached out about a refund and no one got back to me. EXTREMELY POOR management on the owner's part. I will never recommend a place that does not take care of the people (the independent trainers) making them money.

I got to try a free Pilates class during the First Annual Fitness Expo hosted by Soho Strut…read more The class was at the event so it was an abbreviated class and well it was free, so not complaining about that. I have taken a few Pilates classes before and for some reason, I have never really found it to be my group exercise of choice. And here is the reason. I think Pilates focuses way too much on just the core. And while we had a really good instructor, she was clear and gave good instruction, I found myself bored by the end of 30 minutes. There is only so many different ways to do abdominal crunches. I would be willing to come by the actual studio and take a class, but I think I will pass on the Pilates and go for the yoga classes instead. What I will say is this. The next morning, my abs definitely knew it had worked out the previous day, so that was a good feeling. I only wished that the rest of my body hurt so good like my abs...

Having previously been a member of Equinox for over a decade (over paying with minimal-to-no results) I was introduced to Cordell Fitness through a friend who had been able to safely train, amidst all the chaos during this pandemic. I thought that if there was any time to try something new, that time was now! I met with the owner, talked about my goals, and worked on body, mindset, and meal plans. Shawna connected me with two of her top trainers to see who was right for my body type. Both Jerome and Sean were great- knowledgeable, precise, attentive. I ended up training with Sean for the next month and a half... and he literally changed my body!! Sean's attention to detail is insurmountable! I'm astounded by my accomplishments because of his guidance and training; I'm forever indebted to him for all he helped me achieve!! If you want results, that will last, I cannot more highly review a place! Thank you, Sean!!! Thank you Cordell Fitness!! ‍

What makes Variant Fitness so special is that as soon as you begin the workout, it's on. For those…read more30-60 minutes, you will be moving, sweating, moving some more, sweating some more, you get the picture. Mike is one of the most strategic technical trainers that I have ever met! In high school psychology, I learned about gestalt or something that is more than the sum of its parts. Gestalt totally describes Mike's workout strategy. Depending on the workout that you are doing i.e. 4x4 beginning, 4x4 intermediate, the gauntlet, you will do 4-5 rounds. In each round, you will do 2 sets of each exercise and within each set, you will do anywhere from 5 to 30+ reps. In the beginning of each round when Mike first explains each exercise, nothing looks or sounds too crazy, but put together, oh baby, you feel the burn and that round somehow becomes more challenging than you thought it would be. Despite that challenge and the fatigue that you will definitely encounter, Mike makes the whole experience positive and always is watching your form. The most challenging part of the workout is remembering the exercises and number of reps for each exercise for each round and then keeping track of how many reps you have done. Only recommendation I would add is perhaps getting dry erase markers and writing out the exercises on the mirror and the number of reps for that round. Major bonus points to Mike for always remembering clients' names!

Now, though, that the wedding is in sight and I don't really want to have to wear the largest available suit size - I decided it was time to listen to her and join them for a session. I have to say that Mike met and exceeded all expectations. I have had trainers before with mixed results (see above) - but I know I'll be working with Mike up to the wedding and beyond. After only a couple sessions he quickly learned how to read me and get the most out of me. He seems to know when to stay quiet and let me fight through it or when to really encourage me to keep going. My strength and range of motion has increased dramatically and am already down a belt hole or two.... As a guy - Mike makes it very comfortable vs other way too macho guys I've had as trainers. He can talk football one minute and the next best restaurant the next ... So yeah - sign up now!
