Hands-down, one of the best gyms around. And I'm talking about the country. Their programming is…read moreamazing and allows you to decide how in-depth you wanna get with the lifts. That is, if you want to do CrossFit style workouts with all the technical lifts, you can do that. However, if you just wanna work, the same muscle groups without learning all the lifts, they have alternative exercises that are simpler, but equally as tough, if not harder. Also, the gym is super kid friendly. They have a separate play area in the back for mobile kids, and I bring my infant in to most of my workouts. I've seen a lot of moms brings their kids in too. All the coaches are great. Kim, Aush, Kirsten, Fritz, and Nuno are all award winning coaches and athletes. Drew, I'm pretty sure hasn't had a carb since 2004. They do a great $35 for one week trial unlimited classes. You should definitely check it out.

It's also been an amazing way for me to relieve stress and build a consistent, healthy habit. I always leave feeling stronger and proud of the work I put in. Highly recommend!

The coaches are top-notch, the members are fun and dedicated, and I love the member events and competitions they host to bring the community together.

I was also introduced the ATR's in-house physical therapist (Dr. Evan) and he helped me find long-term solutions to significantly alleviate my aggravated back; the pain is gone!

Coaching is decent if you happen to catch the coaches on a day where they actually feel like coaching. With the exception being Coach Helen. She was always amazing and you could tell she cared about good movement, even when she was just taking classes and not coaching. Front desk girls have rbf, always on their phones and make it seem like you're bothering them when you ask them a question. Poor customer service in general. They purposely hide their 30 day notice cancellation policy for your $179 membership, as a way to make more money off of you on your way out. It's in the online contract you sign but they never disclose it to you in person. Had a dispute with them over it and there was no professionalism whatsoever. Owner didn't even try to rectify the situation or apologize. Save yourself the trouble and don't even bother dropping in here. There are other gyms who actually care about their community and not just about making money at your expense.

I first came across Renegade on ClassPass and was so impressed with the experience that I decided…read moreto become a member. This gym offers a wide variety of bootcamp like classes with fantastic energy and some truly talented coaches. While there are a few who are overly egotistical and could use a come back to earth reality check and a touch more humility, the majority of the coaching staff is excellent. Two standouts are Gabrielle Y. and Christian Q., who make working out an absolute pleasure. Gabrielle's welcoming demeanor and contagious positivity create a great atmosphere, and Christian's coaching style is equally motivating and supportive. The classes themselves are high-energy, challenging, and adaptable to different fitness levels. What I love most is that each coach brings their unique style and energy to the table. Once you find the coach who resonate with you, it's easy to stick with them and stay consistent. The variety keeps things interesting, and you'll never get bored while working toward your fitness goals. One of the challenges, however, is parking. Since Lazy Acres put up signs claiming what feels like half the lot, finding a spot can be a headache. I've learned not to arrive too early because spots typically free up only once the previous class ends. While it can be frustrating to circle the lot, a little patience and timing go a long way. It's something to keep in mind when planning your visits. The gym itself could benefit from more regular cleaning and maintenance. A deep cleaning is definitely overdue, as dust, hair, and even cobwebs can be seen in corners. Some benches are rusty and could use replacing. While these issues don't take away from the quality of the workouts, they do detract from the overall experience. Many other gyms in the area have weekly professional cleaning services, which could be a great addition here to help maintain a fresher, more polished environment. Despite these minor drawbacks, Renegade remains a fantastic place to work out. The membership is reasonably priced, although ClassPass is still more affordable and offers lower price penalties for late cancellations. Overall, the quality of the classes and the dedication of standout coaches like Gabrielle and Christian make this gym worth checking out. If you're looking for a challenging yet welcoming environment to achieve your fitness goals, Renegade is a solid choice--just plan ahead for parking and connect with the coaches whose energy aligns with yours!

As soon as you arrive, you can feel the great energy in the room, however, you can smell it too. I was a bit taken back with the space. This is why I am giving 4 stars. Considering how expensive memberships and classes are, you would think their cleanliness would be exceptional...especially with it being a sweaty gym. Equipment is well loved which isn't a problem but everything else seems to be too (yoga mats, walls, floors all need a little tlc). As a previous business owner, I understand there are overhead costs, however... when charging someone close to $200/mo, you would expect a visually pleasing experience. Or at least a clean and smelly free space. Hehe. Lovely otherwise!

I've tried all the new circuit classes from Revel Fit, Renegade, OTF, F45, and I guarantee that no one will program or kick your a$$ like Bryan at Versatile Fitness! This is a no-frills, old boxing gym vibe (think OG Rocky) where you come to WORK! Bryan's programming, exercise acumen, and super sets will challenge you, but also be some of the most effective and productive workouts. He has almost every piece of equipment I've seen in a gym from rowers, ropes, barbells, curl bars, pulley systems, sleds, water weights, benches, kettlebells, free weights, Terra core, TRX, bands, discs, and the list goes on. I have attended about 10 classes and I have yet to repeat a workout. It's insane the quality of training and programming you would get through this gym for the price. Anywhere else, it would cost thousands for this level of programming, so anyone who attends these classes is getting a steal of a deal for this type of workout! Classes are 45min, with several stations per class. Each day has a target focus such as pull, push, leg, abs, and/or cardio, depending on the day. The target is there, but you are always getting a decent total body workout. Each station has 2-3 exercises that you do 2 sets per station. You have around 3 people per station, and then you rotate. Bryan goes around to demo each exercise as you move stations, and also has the workouts written on a whiteboard at the front of the room. Bryan will also provide quick corrections, as needed. Please note, in large group class settings, rarely will get you get alot of correction or instruction. It's not feasible to have that much personalized focus in these types of classes. Each class starts with a short warm-up, and a quick cooldown at the end. I have only taken class with Bryan, as he is the staple of this gym. He also has an extensive background with over 20yr of experience and he also offers some nutrition and personalized coaching programs for fat shredding and other fitness goals. This gym is a hidden gem and morning classes are usually full. I am literally perplexed how the afternoon classes are not exploding with members because I have yet to see anyone have the stellar exercise programming and versatility that Versatile Fitness provides. I've seen so many different trainers and attended many gyms, and Bryan's programming is the most innovative and BRUTAL (in the best way), that I've experienced. If you're looking for a serious SWEAT, a great community, and incredible workouts, VF is the spot!

Stay away from this gym if: you dislike working hard, you hate fun music, you want to workout with people who suck. Join this gym if you: want a great workout with no mental effort on your part, you enjoy being pushed to be your best, you want to support a small business instead of a corporate monster. Side note: I appreciate that Bryan the owner places a large focus on finding trainers that are a cultural match for VF. Shregar, Victor, and Mauritzio all bring the energy.
