    I A D O R E Iron Tribe Fitness (Baton Rouge, LA). Hayden and his team have created a magical…read moreplace on Acadian. Not only is this a place to support physical health and well being - they also enrich the mind and the soul through incredible community events. Personally, I have always struggled with working out - always finding some way to injure myself. All the trainers at IT have found a way to see what was missing, where I needed support and adjusted the work out so I could build my core, strength, and most important - confidence. The IT community is incredible, authentic and purposeful.

    Iron Tribe is a great gym that offers HIIT style training in small groups. They use a blend of…read moreequipment and body-weight exercises that can be modified to your ability. They also offer nutrition coaching and body composition analyses. Having my body composition tested has been an empowering way to track my progress and keep motivated. At Iron Tribe, you're in and out in 45 minutes. I really appreciate their workouts that are designed to get me moving and working in an efficient way. There are no mirrors in the gym, so instead of looking at your form in the mirror, you'll need to listen to your body. In every class, you will learn standards of movement for the workout, and coaches will work with you to make sure your body is in safe alignment. I imagine that this greatly reduces injuries. There are well-stocked locker rooms with showers. Also inside the gym, they sell supplements and different kinds of energy drinks. They don't push them on you, but they're there if you need them/are curious. I look forward to my workouts. I've found that I'm no longer thinking about working out as torture or punishment. The coaches use language meant to empower you, rather than critique you. This was helpful for me as I was learning to use the equipment. It's also really fun, and everyone is nice. I was pleasantly surprised by what an encouraging and non-judgmental space it was. A membership is not cheap, but you're paying for more than a gym membership. It's more like a gym membership, personal training, nutrition coaching, and body composition testing. I'd recommend Iron Tribe to anyone.

    This is the gym where I signed up for Anytime Fitness. Its the closest one to my apartment, so it…read morewas a no-brainer. The signup process was simple, but the terms weren't so pleasant: you are required to sign a year-long contract with monthly dues of $42.50. The only way to break contact without being assessed a fee is by moving more than 50 miles from the closest location. It felt like selling my soul to the devil, but ultimately it has been a worthwhile purchase. The gym is much smaller than the 24 Hour Fitness I belonged to in Dallas. It is pretty darn small, actually. To give you an idea of the setup, the cardio area has 5 treadmills, 4 bikes, 2 stair-climbers, and 8-10 ellipticals. There is a limited selection of freeweights, benches, & racks as well as approximately 20 weight machines. This is definitely a cardio-centric gym, which I'm fine with. Each piece of cardio equipment has a built-in TV with cable. Personally, I hate watching TV while exercising, but its a very popular feature. I wish there were music channels instead playing awesome exercise playlists. I guess I can always dream. The gym is open 24 hours and gives you access by means of an RFID key fob. There are cameras everywhere and fancy sensors that I don't even understand. All these security features let Anytime be open without a staff member present. I think that's a major plus. Nobody to critique my form on the stairmaster. I can see how it might scare some people, but if you're all alone at night, there are panic buttons you can wear around your neck. That's a serious commitment to safety. I know its January and people are working out because of their New Year's Resolutions, but frankly this gym is feeling crowded. It isn't a matter of adding more equipment either - there just isn't enough floorspace. I ended up grabbing some dumbells and working out in the fitness class room. That works, I suppose, but that's not exactly encouraging for newbies. Finally, a bit about the clientele: the MO seems to be young men and women who are just getting into the world of fitness. What I'm saying is there aren't many muscleheads benching 500 lbs and grunting.

    Although a bit smaller than some other gyms, it's very clean and has everything that one needs for…read morea good workout. By far the best quality however is the service - Jonathon went the extra mile to make sure I'm having a great experience with Anytime Fitness - thanks a lot!
