I have taken classes with Christa and Karin, who train Tuff Girls, and MIke, who trains men and women in boot camp, and they are all AMAZING. My husband takes Mike's classes regularly and loves them, too. At Bodyology, you work hard toward your best body and change your life with trainers that actually care about you. Seriously, it's not too good to be true. This is more than just a "gym" or "fitness studio," it is a true community of people who want to be their best, and motivate each other every step of the way. They have cutting edge equipment in there and are always learning more to give their clients the newest and best workouts to get fit safely and efficiently. All three trainers are so empowering; I feel like I can do anything after conquering the workouts! High impact interval training, Tabata, TRX, heavy weight lifting...all in an environment that focuses on good form FIRST and then working your butt off. Highly, highly recommend.

How can such a wonderful and popular business have only 1 Yelp review?!…read more This gym offers phenomenal workouts, both memberships and drop-in pricing, a welcoming community of normal people of varied ages who work hard--not hardbody meatheads (though some hard bodies--and yours could be one of them if you keep it up). They sometimes organize social events, and group cleansing diets, and Christa's weekly email is great for keeping motivated. The Tabata workouts are varied enough that you'll never get bored, and you'll see your strength improving faster than you would have expected. Lots of positive energy here. Most workouts are women only, but they have coed workouts every day too. Both are great.

A novice when it comes to a yoga mat, I found myself doing planks, downward dogs and stretches with a Pilates ring with ease thanks to the small group size and owner Joy Scott's one-on-one guidance. Pilates not your thing? Try Cardio Bodi Sculpt, Barre (a ballet-inspired class for non-dancers), Zumba, Yoga or, yes, even Belly Dancing! Looking for a class for your kid? There's Kids Bodiflow, Breakdancing, Kung-Fu Hip-Hop, Jazz or Ballet. Coming in November, banish winter woes with Hot Yoga. bodinmotion.com p.s.

Truly a great gym with an amazing selection of brand new equipment, a wide space, on point cleanliness, a very attentive staff and a solid positive vibe that keeps you motivated. If you're ever in the area or better yet if you're local, be sure to pay Surge a visit. In case you're interested in a membership, they do have different offerings for you to chose from. I will for sure be paying them multiple visits in the near future during my travels to CT.

GOTO PLANET FITNESS. I joined this gym intending to work with a personal trainer. I meet with…read moreLouis Rodriguez, the person in charge of the personal training department, and signed up. I had told him I wouldn't be able to start for another 6 weeks so we scheduled my first 2 appointments and decided we would do the rest when we got closer to that actual beginning of the personal training. Unfortunately, when I got home, I read further through the contact and realized there were things in it that Louis never disclosed to me. There was a fee of $50/month he never mentioned and with the way he set it up I would have paid $320 before I even had my first personal training appointment, Furthermore, when giving me a tour I asked him if the gym has a NuStep machine. He said yes and motioned to the area behind us in the back. Unfortunately, no such machine existed there. The contract stated that I could cancel within the first 2 days if I sent an email to a certain address. So, I sent an email to said address, showed it to Louis and he said I would get a check in the mail for my refund. Of course, said check never arrived. I stopped by the gym multiple times and either he wasn't their or was busy. I had to call multiple times because he was never available and apparently has no email address or voicemail. If sending an email to the gyms main email address on their site was no help. In the end I would avoid this gym or at least their personal training department. Lous Rodriguez will knowingly lie right to your face and will make it difficult to get in contact with him. Of course, if you're signing up & giving them money for a service it will be completely the opposite. I was signed up for training sessions among other things that I never signed up for myself. I also received multiple spam emails and calls from them. Just go to Planet Fitness. Everything there is much more straight forward and honest when it comes to signing any contract.

They want to help you and want to make you healthier. It is a no judgement zone. Every routine the instructors will also show modified versions of moves that could be harder for some.

Studio Z is actually located upstairs at 203 Church St, in the old ballroom. There is no signage…read moreout front, so it is a little hard to locate. The room is large and well air conditioned, which is good as we all get our sweat on. The instructor (Tammy) was very welcoming, explained how Zumba works for first timers, and encouraged us to focus on the footwork if we were getting lost doing the moves. I enjoyed the friendliness of the participants, the encouragement of the instructor, and the volume level of the music. My one complaint is it is not always easy to see the instructor, if she was on a raised stage that would be better. If you are expecting a gym environment, that is not the case. There are no locker rooms and limited restrooms. Overall, this was a very positive experience, and I may return.

Totally late on this five star review but a recent visit back to New Haven reminded me of how much…read moreI enjoy Polefly, Jess, and everything she brings to this space. Polefly is essentially where I fell in love with the art of pole and Jess has set a standard for instruction that I've looked for in every studio I've attended since. She is highly technical and understands the mechanics of the body in a way that makes you feel really safe while you practice here. Poling can be scary but I never felt worried about injury at Polefly because Jess is very thoughtful and careful, she plans the lessons around you and your body, meeting you where you're at while still challenging you to try your best and push yourself a little more each time. Despite all of her extensive experience and technical prowess, Jess never makes you feel less than. So much of poling is as much mental as it is physical, and this space always feels and felt safe, supportive, and affirming. I grew so much here and I am so sad there are so many miles between me and this lovely space these days and always look forward to my next visit back. Thank you, Jess, for everything you do to make this space wonderful. Also: get here early, people. Sometimes the walk up the stairs is long.

We took a private pole dancing class at Polefly with Jess as part of a bachelorette party weekend…read more Everything was great--from the booking process to cost ($20/person for an hour class) to the class itself. Our group is very uncoordinated but we still had a really great time learning some moves and getting some exercise. The studio is clean and kept up well and Jess is a great and encouraging instructor and doesn't make you feel like an idiot (even if you know you're looking like one!). I can't speak to the normal classes here but would highly recommend booking a private event for a special birthday surprise or bachelorette weekend!
