I tried Pure Barre for about 3 months, but was seeking variety in my workouts. F2B offers that with a plethora of classes and times! My body (and mind) have been challenged and I love seeing how my strength improves each class. If you're looking for a small studio with great vibes, definitely come check this studio out. You will not regret it!

Let me join the growing chorus of devotees of the intimate yet challenging classes offered at Fit…read moreto Be. First, the logistics. Fit to Be is located in the same building and on the same level as American Roadhouse. There's plenty of parking in the lot behind the building, and the studio has a small lobby area to wait in before classes start. They have a single room for classes, but it has a sliding barn door in the back, making it possible to conduct private training sessions at the same time a larger class is going on. Other reviews note that classes are capped at 15, but I've never had more than twelve. I have yet to take a class with Julie (the owner, acclaimed in many other reviews), but that's because I'm such a huge fan of Bryn's Ballerobica class at 9am on Saturdays. Barre or ballet-inpsired classes are a dime a dozen these days, but Ballerobica is the best I've found. It adds an aerobic element to the standard core exercises, so you feel like you've gotten a much bigger calorie burn. Plus, Bryn is a phenomenal teacher- she pushes without yelling and she is continually upbeat without being fake. Everyone -from students to teachers - seems genuinely glad to be there. I leave class feeling upbeat (and sweaty) which is exactly what I'm looking for. Though I discovered Fit to Be through Classpass (which is awesome, by the way), these are classes I might actually pay extra to be able to attend more of them than the three per month Classpass limits you to. At just $15 for one drop in class (and packages that go down in cost from there), Fit to Be is also one of the more reasonable gyms I've found. I can't wait to try more classes, because Fit to Be is certainly as good as it gets!

Dr V has fundamentally changed my relationship with exercise and fitness. I'm in my 40s and new to…read moreweight training. The idea of learning at this point in my life was intimidating, but V's medical background and candid, friendly demeanor quickly set me at ease. I've been working out with him 3 days a week for about 7 months and my overall fitness and confidence have consistently increased. I'm stronger now than I've ever been. Don't overthink it. The sooner you start your journey, the sooner you'll see results.

I came into this gym after being told it was okay to bring my emotional support animal, Max. I had…read morechecked with staff on multiple visits beforehand and was given the green light--as long as he had his paperwork and was well-behaved (which he is). What happened next was absolutely unacceptable. A staff member aggressively interrupted my workout multiple times, raised her voice at me in front of others, took unsolicited photos of me, and then escalated things further by calling the police--all without once calmly asking for clarification or reviewing the situation professionally. When I asked her for her name or the name of the owner, she refused to tell me anything. I was treated like a threat instead of a paying guest. And here's the worst part: when the actual owner was reached by phone, he confirmed that bringing Max was fine. This experience was not only humiliating, it was completely avoidable--and reflects a serious lack of training, emotional intelligence, and professionalism by your front-line staff. I was looking forward to joining. Instead, I walked out disrespected and appalled. Do better.

Serious Safety & Liability Concerns - This Gym Puts Members at Risk…read more This gym is playing fast and loose with member safety, and it needs to be called out. The sauna has a clearly posted warning sign stating a maximum safe temperature of 185°F. Despite this, staff and management insist on running it at 200°F, knowingly exceeding their own posted safety limits. That alone is reckless and a massive liability issue. What made this worse: I entered the sauna first at a safe temperature. Another gym member then came in and turned the temperature up to 197°F, completely ignoring the warning sign. When I pointed out the posted safety limit, this individual became aggressive, threatened me, harassed me, and disturbed my peace while I was simply trying to protect my health. No member should feel unsafe--physically or verbally--while using a wellness facility. Management's response? Dismissive and unconcerned. Instead of addressing: * the unsafe temperature settings * the violation of posted safety guidelines * the harassment and threatening behavior by another member ...the manager failed to take the situation seriously at all. This gym is exposing itself to serious liability by: * Ignoring its own safety warnings * Allowing saunas to operate at dangerous temperatures * Failing to intervene when a member is threatened Saunas are supposed to support health--not endanger it. Until management starts prioritizing member safety, accountability, and basic respect, I strongly do not recommend this gym. Consider this a warning.
