But if you're out of shape and looking to whip yourself into shape (ahem, hello), this is a good place to do it. Small, friendly and never overcrowded, this place is where you go to work one on one with a smart trainer (Michelle De Dominicis! but there are others who appear to know their stuff, too) and get in shape without throwing out your back or spraining a muscle. Plenty of rowers, ellipticals and treadmills for warmups and a good circuit of machines and weights...everything you need and nothing you don't. Uptown parking is still intensely stupid (yay Kingston.), but consider that walk up the hill or up the stairs part of your cardio warmup.

This gym has really gone downhill. My main concerns are the outdated and poorly maintained…read moreequipment. The stairmasters have been out of order and bounce back in resistance while you're using them, which throws off your balance and makes them unsafe/unusable. We only have two stairmasters to begin with, and both have been down--more working ones are badly needed. The spin class seats are rock-hard and leave you bruised the next day. The water fountains and pretty much everything else feel outdated. Instead of fixing the machines, they prioritized painting the locker room walls--paint that chipped almost right away--then kept painting other areas while equipment sat broken. They recently started re-padding the leather on some machines, but the job looks terrible: full of wrinkles, mismatched colors (old maroon on some machines, black on others), and cheap-looking backboards. Nothing about the upgrades feels done well. On top of all that, they raised the rates when nothing has actually improved. Wall paint should not be the priority when the machines need real upgrades, especially if prices are going up. So many things need attention here, and right now it just doesn't feel worth the increase.

The classes are great, staff are professional and friendly, and the place is clean and nice. This is not a typical gym which is why they call it a studio. This is where I go to take a class led by an instructor which is different than what I am used to. Figured I'd give it a shot considering I have nothing to lose. I like it, and will supplement my gym workouts as my schedule permits.

I am a self-proclaimed fitness junkie and I've been to pretty much every studio in the area. Nothing touches the value you get here. A little something for everyone regardless of your fitness level, welcoming clients and a super friendly atmosphere, CLEAN facility and no ego whatsoever. I've also seen significant improvement in my athleticism/physique and eating habits with all the tools they provide: not just a 'gym' but a total wellness approach. 5 stars all the way.

I was a little worried about going to hot yoga without any preparation but I ended up LOVING the class. It's a no-frills yoga place but the instructor was REALLY good. Her attentiveness and the detail of her instruction varies on the students' needs. Her teaching style was firm, focused and yet energetically calming. I found myself pushing myself to do better and feeling good about it. I can only imagine that the other classes and their instructors are just as good. I read some reviews about how this is a legit yoga spot and I'm so glad we checked it out. I'm always a fan of places that put the work in the services they offer; as opposed to investing in the beautification and aesthetics of the place but offering subpar service. I'm very happy to have found this spot!

I have been with Anna for 10 years and she has brought me to a fitness and nutritional level that I never thought I would achieve.

The routines are always different and work every part of your body. Even in this pandemic, we do zoom fitness sessions, and Anna makes it easy to work from home and has distributed fitness equipment to ensure we all have the proper workout weights, cords, bands, rings and balls. I would recommend Sage Fitness to everyone.

My kids have done MANY types of classes in the Kingston area, from dance to gymnastics to karate to soccer, and this place is my favorite of them all and my top priority to encourage my kids to stick with for the long haul. Coach Malachy manages that rare balance of fun and structure. My kids are learning real skills, but also growing in confidence, focus, resilience, and respect... while having fun. For adults, the classes are both challenging and supportive. I'm a pretty slow learner, but I've always felt welcome, have fun, and enjoy a community full of genuinely kind, down-to-earth people. The gym is always clean, organized, and really feels like a family environment where everyone (kids, teens, parents) is growing together. Huge thanks to Coach Malachy and Coach Stephanie for creating someplace so special. I can't recommend Midtown Jiu Jitsu enough, for any age.
