This third party company they hired to contact us has since emailed us our family's names and addresses in my wife's former country, Russia.

Absolute Martial Arts is so much fun! I tried them out because I wanted to lose weight, and I was…read morebored and tired of going to the gym. My first lesson was a private lesson, and I was able to go at my own pace. When I first arrived,I got to meet with Ana. The place was pretty busy, but I was greeted right away by more than one person. They made me feel very welcome. The private lesson was really awesome too! I learned the basics of punches and kicks, and Ana had explained our moves every step of the way. I was so winded by the end of the lesson, but I wanted to do more! I never enjoyed working out before, it always felt like a chore, but here it's totally fun. The atmosphere was really fun and energetic, and the place was really clean. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to get a good workout and have fun at the same time. Thanks Absolute!

If you are looking for a knowledgeable and committed partner in your health and fitness journey,…read morethere is no place better than Fuel. I had been lifting weights and exercising consistently for 20+ years when I met Jeff and my trainer, Perry. At the time, I had suffered an elbow injury that had kept me out of the gym for over 8 months. I had gained weight, lost motivation, and was looking to get back into shape. But, I was nervous about re-injuring my elbow. Jeff took the time to sit down and talk with me about my concerns and goals, and analyzed my overall fitness to identify the functional weaknesses and limitations that I needed to address to avoid further injury. He then developed a highly personalized program that made sure not to put undue stress on my injured elbow while at the same time building up the rest of my body to ensure that the same injury doesn't happen again. He also set me up with an anti-inflammation diet, and I lost 30 pounds in 10 weeks. At 37 years old, I can honestly say that I'm in the best shape of my life. I thought I knew a lot about weight lifting and nutrition, but Jeff and Perry have taught me more than I ever thought was possible. Whether you are just starting out or are far along in your fitness journey, Fuel is the place to be.

I have attended 20 classes so far and I'm in love! Something about the quick 45-minute length makes…read morethe workout bearable--it really does fly by. The coaches are great and always able to give modifications if there's something you want to emphasize or avoid. One of my favorite aspects is the ability to go slow and lift heavy if you want to (or speed up and lift lighter if that's more your style.) A variety of class times makes it easy to stay accountable and committed. And with the small class size, it's easy to be friendly and get to know people (if you want to.) The classes are definitely hard--and Iove the variety because I know as long as I'm consistently attending, I'm not missing any major muscle groups. There isn't a formal cool-down or stretching period, and I"m bad about doing that on my own--but it's totally worth it to keep the workout in that super convenient time frame. Highly recommended.

This is my favorite hot yoga studio in St. Louis! I tried 6-10 before I found this place. That…read morebeing said, this is a very specific type of hot yoga. You will sweat until your entire body and hair is dripping because it's super hot and humid in the room. You will hear some calming music at more slow paced times in the class and loud pump up music during fast paced times in the class. You will be working so hard you will likely have to rest throughout the class. It's not easy and that's why I love it. You will feel like you conquered a difficult workout after this class. This class pushes you and I've noticed significant improvement in my flexibility and ability to hold several yoga poses. I also believe hot yoga has significantly helped my mental health. I can't worry about anything else in the world when I'm working so hard in this class. This studio is also very well kept and clean which I appreciate. Staff has always been nice and helpful as well.

There are 8 different isometric classes (45 minute session) and 3 HIIT classes (15 minute session) you can sign up for. They also have the FX zone which is where a smith machine, dumbbells, and kettlebells are to do weight lifting as well. The classes are in little saunas and they can hold up to 3 people, although I will say most of the time you are able to get a room to yourself. The door is always locked, but members have access to open the door 24/7 to workout so it is super safe! The place is always clean and the staff are so friendly! They have a vending machine with lots of protein snacks and water that is always stocked. Not to mention the other people that work out there are awesome too! I have been going for 7 months and have loved it!
