MADabolic is an intense workout, but one that is great for all skill levels. Whether you're trying to get into fitness, or trying to refine your physique, MADabolic is a great place to accomplish goals. It is very nice to have talented trainers that shape the workouts, so that I don't have to wander around a jungle of weight machines, wondering what you should do next.

Being a perimenopausal woman, I had heard how important strength training was, but had been hesitant to get started because I was afraid of my chronic pain issues flaring up.

The staff here is friendly, everything is super clean, and like most PFs, there is a ton of equipment. Aside from one thing! They only have four Smith machines. When I arrived, they were all taken. When one opened up, a couple hopped on it in an instant. If you're strength training, you need Smith machines and dumbbells. The dumbbell area is also a little smaller than most. Despite all that, this is still a great gym and highly recommended. And if you're just looking to maintain and stay fit and do cardio, you will love it.

We did a month program which was great, but in the end we decided to to another round of p90x, which isn't any reflection upon the gym.....just not the right time or in our budget at that moment.

This franchise uses a third party billing system called peak payment solutions to extract money…read morefrom their members. Even if you are not under any sort of contract or commitment they will not allow you to cancel your membership directly. You are instead instructed to address it with the billing company. This makes it next to impossible to cancel the membership, so your only course of action is to simply stop paying them. Then Peak payment solutions will immediately start charging you late fees and will start threatening collections and calling relentlessly within a week of a missed payment. It is illegal to try to extort payment out of people, who are under zero contractual commitment to pay you, by threatening collection.

There is seldom a wait time to get on a machine. My favorite regular class is Yoga with Pharrell. There are a range of classes by type and fitness levels.
