I did a 12-week online coaching program with UEF back in 2019. I wanted to share my experiences…read morehere in case anyone else was interested in trying this program. I will say up top that I did not finish the program due to some issues I will get into below. However, I wanted to give my totally honest review as there are definitely some pitfalls to this type of a program. Counting macros gave me serious anxiety. I use a lot of marinades, seasoning, etc. when I cook, and my meals often have lots of ingredients. It was stressful to say the least to have to calculate macros for each element of my meal at every meal. It took out all of the joy of cooking. I wasn't able to enjoy dinner with my family, the one meal we share, because I was just so focused on weighing and calculating what I was eating. This is not UEF's fault, but it took me trying this method out to realize it was not for me. Being in a calorie deficit is the only way to lose weight; there are many different ways to achieve that and counting macros was not the way for me. At the outset of this program I was two months postpartum and breastfeeding, which I disclosed in my intake form. The calorie restriction caused my supply to decline precipitously, and at that point about two weeks in I gave up the macro counting, limiting myself only to the workout regimen in order to regain my supply. I emailed this to my coach that that's what I was doing, and asked if I could put a hold on my training and pick up when I could commit to both aspects. That part of the email went ignored, as he told me to continue as normal with the workout and we would adjust my macros. I really wish they could have been more accommodating on this front, as I paid for the coaching but was just unable to do the full program at that time for the reasons outlined above. I wish I had another opportunity to give it 100% when I was physically ready and not also trying to feed a child. Not a big deal, but each client is given an initial protocol spreadsheet after they first sign up. There were misspellings throughout the spreadsheet, including my name. I get that this is probably the most minor of things, but it definitely felt cookie-cutter and not like I was being evaluated based on my own intake form. It was almost like it was copied and pasted from someone else's sheet. Which brings me to my last point. While my coach was responsive throughout the process, it felt like my fitness journey wasn't taken too seriously since I wasn't embarking on a bodybuilding venture like a lot of their clients. I will 100% own the fact that you will get out of the process what you put into it, and at that time I was not ready to commit to the method of macro counting and I was also at a stage in my life that made dieting not ideal. This review is not a review of the results I did or did t get, but it is my impression of the process and program as a whole. However, it definitely seemed like UEF was more involved in the clientele that wanted to go to bodybuilding competitions. That impression has been further reinforced now that I have attended some other gyms/fitness clubs, where there is a real sense of community and encouragement no matter what your goals are.

This lends itself to a more welcoming environment. Last location had a room that was strictly for weights. Just about everyone in there could have been described as having "muscle milk" as their personality. It was loud ragey metal music with lots of grunting and weight dropping. Other workout spaces were more chill but this one was particularly weird. Not so at the Oriskany Blvd. locale. Since everything has opened up it is a lot more chill- lots of different people all working out together, mellower music and overall a better vibe. The locker rooms are spare but nice and there is a sauna and showers. They have raised their prices but luckily I was grandfathered in at my original price I paid a few years ago. If you are not going to attend regularly than a $10/mo at Planet Fitness is a better option. Idk what the previous reviewer was complaining about. My membership was comped for 6 months when they were shut down due to covid.

I love the indoor running track and wish I had a similar option at home. This is a million times better than running on a treadmill! I've enjoyed it on rainy summer days as well as snowy winter mornings. The fitness center is also very nice and quite large. There is ample equipment and it is extremely clean. I like the Clorox (or Lysol) wipe stations available throughout the facility. There are plenty of mirrors for checking form when lifting and lots of cardio equipment options. Additionally, I enjoyed the large glass windows when I used the treadmill one winter morning. The view is spectacular! The fitness center and running track are the only options I've taken advantage of when in town; however, the class schedule and rock climbing wall both look dynamite. I may give either or both a whirl when I return this summer. Lots of options are available so check it out online and day and weekly passes are available for purchase. The front desk staff are always helpful and pleasant. See you in the summer or on Instagram.
