This was a level 1 pilates class, it was nice to go back and learn the proper form, as I have not consistently done pilates in months. This class was challenging but not overly painful which was nice. Her mic was not working which at times was a little hard to hear, but Kelsea made sure to circle the room so everyone could hear her. The studio itself is gorgeous, I could not get over how cute of a room it was. Parking was also very easy and convenient.

I've been obsessed with the megaformer workout these past few months and I've found it…read moretransformative for my core and tendencies towards injuries. I normally go to slt in NYC (which is phenomenal) but have been very curious about sculpt. I went this am and while one class is hardly the means for a rating, I found the studio meh as far as megaformer workouts. Don't get me wrong. This workout is difficult and not geared towards beginnings. The straps, balancing and movements cause one to need a few times to get the gist of it. Add on to the general difficulty! So why 3 stars for sculpt. Playlist and drill sergeant like instruction made the class not fun. She counted 20-19-18.... more repeatedly. Grrrr. I found myself repeated looking at the clock which is something I rarely do. In addition, music was circa 1980s and definitely a feed issue to the stereo because there was a scratchy sound for parts of the class. Moves and corrections were generally very good, however. As I've mentioned with other specialty classes it's the instructor that makes all the difference. I'm super spoiled I live in NYC and fortunately a couple of my favorite folks are not only at the tops in their field, some have even developed cult status (so says allure magazine). Best practices equal always a fresh playlist (I've never heard the same list twice for my favorites), good choreography, energy and corrections. So for $35 a class, I'd hope that I get just that. Otherwise I could go to the free classes at my gym. I think solid core which I rate 4.5 stars is better on instruction and energy, music also could be improved. 3 stars bc any megaformer class is a minimum of ok, but the extra factor is instruction and music.

I discovered Top Notch through a friend earlier in 2017 and was skeptical since I live in DC and…read moreit's located in Rockville. I couldn't see myself making the trek out to Rockville that often. I figured I'd go try it out once and probably just stick with WSC. BUT, I knew I was hooked about 30 minutes into the class. The workout was great, and I liked the variety of exercises, but what really got me was the sense of community, encouragement, and support I felt by both Eric (the gym owner) and my fellow classmates. Everyone helps and uplifts each other -- it's not a competitive environment. We also keep each other accountable when we start to slip into laziness. All of this is something I haven't really experienced at other gyms, and I really enjoy it! Eric is also mindful of providing exercise modifications if you have an injury, or if he can tell that you're reaching your max. Great community, great workouts, great price! And Eric whipped me back into shape!

I've received two emails from the owner of Warriorfit telling me that "he's sorry I didn't grasp…read morewhat they do," basically putting me down instead of truly taking in and using my criticism constructively. I didn't respond. He also said I was expecting a Crossfit workout. Nope. I don't do Crossfit, I disagree with a lot of what Crossfit does, especially since it's injury rate is so high. And I certainly wasn't expecting a Crossfit workout when I tried Warriorfit. However, pretty much everyone in the fitness industry is doing some variation of metabolic conditioning -- whether it's bootcamp style, Crossfit or something else. And I know what metabolic conditioning is, because I've trained with some of the best in the industry. Warriorfit is, indeed, practicing metabolic conditioning. Sending repeated emails telling me I didn't "get it" shows a real lack of class, so I'm sticking with my two stars. And that's generous. I'm doing so because I think Warriorfit's intention is to help people and because it probably does help some people. I just don't think it's the most effective way to do so and I see lots of room for improvement in the coaches' technique, methodologies, and now business practices and just plain manners. And, despite the owner comment posted below, not one of the people in my class was there for martial arts instruction. They weren't martial artists. They were there for general fitness and conditioning. His martial arts instruction was the best part of the workout, but it was a SMALL part of the workout and probably what Warriorfit should stick to teaching. Problem is there is more demand for general classes. As for my "qualifications," 1.) I'm pretty sure I do not need to be qualified as a consumer of such services. This should tell you what the tone of his messages to me was really like. And 2.) I will be earning my Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist cert, which is more than what any of the instructors there has. Yuck, yuck, and yuck. *Postscript: This guy just can't take criticism (like a man, or like a woman) and use it to improve. It's obvious from the ongoing back and forth. It's also pretty obvious how many of friends he's gotten to write reviews since I posted mine. Ugh. Who has the time for this? Again, just because you've practiced martial arts does not mean you should be teaching general fitness classes, especially if you are unlicensed and uninsured. But, hey, the liability is yours to assume. Good luck with that.

Lets Go Warriors! I…read morewas honestly skeptical to use this place because I have a slight anxiety disorder and do not like big classes. BUT this class works for me! Everyone one is class is nice and encouraging, as we are all just trying to make ourselves better. I am going on my fourth week, and I am sure that if I go for 2 more months I will reach my goal. I love the fact that they offer 7 & 8 oclock classes Monday through Thursday and 7 pm classes on Friday. I work late shift at work and do not get off until 6 pm, and was afraid I would be stuck in traffic and not make it to class ontime, but I have made it early since the day I started. My first week was brutal. I was injured, back and shoulder, and could not do all of the moves or even move as fast but the instructor for the day David- gave me alternatives and stretches so that I could get well soon. I no longer have the injuries.The classes are very upbeat, you are constantly moving and challenging yourself. The instructor often says " Just dont stop, I dont care if you move slow, Just KEEP MOVING"! I love that they are motivating and really want you to work for it. Class always starts off with a ten minute run. I havent mastered my breathing yet so this is horrible for me, but I at least try to get through it every time. Each class is different. Some days there are different stations where the instructor will have you do different moves. There are days where we are all about the punching back and we are kicking and punching for a good 20 plus mintues. There are days when we are outside on the field running up and down the field, squatting up and down the field, lunging, bear crawling, and all of the above. Im allergic to class and after a bad reaction to an outdoor session I go to the later class so I do have red bumps on my arms the next day at work :(. There is always stretching, and always abs. I like the fact that they target your whole body and dont forget about the booty, abs or back :) Overall Warriorfit is def worth giving a try, if you dont end up loving it at least you tried something new. I love it after 3 weeks, I actually did two sessions yesterday so that I didnt have to work out on Friday- and I felt great after doing it. Lots of sweat but lots of smiles today I got a great deal on Amazon Local $20 for a month of unlimited classes, I def want to get a membership for the rest of summer. Great promotion! By the time you finish this class you will def feel like a warrior!

He also cursed at my son for asking for help with his headgear. He doesn't help you with advice unless he considers you developed (or if you pay for one on one coaching), and if he doesn't, he ignores you or chastises you when you ask for help. Coach David and Coach Sula are great, I loved their classes, but unfortunately, it doesn't even bump up the rating to two stars. That coach should not be allowed in a gym.
