To get your money back, you have to check-in on social media every time you're there, let them use your before and after pictures, post a review on here (FYI - Businesses should not be asking for reviews. It's against Yelp's conflict of interest policy), and lose 25 lbs. Losing 25 lbs is not the same for everyone as far as percentage of body weight. You have to go 3x a week for an hour. It's a one-size-fits-all mentality. I'm looking for something more personalized. It's not just about losing weight, it's about losing inches, gaining muscle and confidence, etc. Jeremy is a no nonsense and direct motivator if that's what you're looking for. I'm not willing to risk the money for something I'm not sure will motivate me. Kickboxing is 2 nights a week. It's a group setting. It seemed very disorganized while I was there, both the class and the space. Very small and crowded space, very claustrophobic. Didn't feel very clean. Mismatch of equipment. Jackets and bags all over the place. Parking is a nightmare. I tried to ask questions, which weren't answered directly, was made to feel my questions were just excuses. Was not impressed with space, staff, or sales pitch.

BUTTT, like always, you still don't read or understand anything especially since you're still on the same rant of him not coming in because you think he "pussed out" and you think the male should be in charge (according to the phone call a month ago) so no surprise with your comment and how you don't listen. And thanks, found a better place at Studio Element. Anyone who is looking for someone should GO to STUDIO ELEMENT. It's worth the money to be treated better and get results that will last than treated like crap by some rude "trainer" who has an extremely unhealthy way of making people lose weight. So glad you took our hard earned money for free and you showed us your true colors. If anything came from you stealing our hard earned money it that we got out of your bad business. Also, your contract is still not valid as your address in it isn't even where you work out of (I got the return envelope). Thanks, jack-a...Jeremy! Where do I even start. This place deserves zero stars because of Jeremy. Jeremy will talk down to you, talk over you, does not compromise or get the picture. He does not care for his clients and wants it his way or the highway. He will rip you off. BE CAREFUL. I have his contract posted below. Wednesday, my boyfriend and I decided to go into here for a free consultation. He sat down with us (more like my boyfriend, not us because he would hardly talk to me...big macho man ), got right to the point about how his 6 week training program is and blah blah blah. He said it was $499 a person but if we both come in together it's $399 BUT we have to put 1/3 of the money down today. So my boyfriend said sure he'll put his part down and I'll talk to my parents to see if they'll help me out. My parents said they would help out, but not right away, and so my boyfriend had $236 on him and he went ahead and gave him the money and signed his own contract (I never signed one) which doesn't say a start date. Jeremy said if I decide I don't want to come in and do it, then that money would just be for my boyfriend (1/3 of $499 isn't $236 btw, Jeremy). So we left planning on coming in Monday, June 18th. This weekend I had an incident where I fell on my right elbow (swore I broke it) and went to urgent care the next day and thankfully found out it was severely sprained. I talked to my boyfriend and asked if he'd wait until the following Monday so we could do it together, because we wanted to do this together. We live together, it makes sense to only do it together. I did not want to waste my first week of Jeremy's 6 week program with a hurt arm, only being able to do exercises with every other body part. So this morning (Monday, June 18th) we texted Jeremy telling him the situation and asking if he'd let us start Monday. He basically says a sprained elbow is nothing then calls my boyfriend only to try to force him into coming in and asking him who is in charge me or him (my boyfriend)? My boyfriend kept explaining can we just come in as a couple next Monday or no? And he said we can but my boyfriend would not get his 6 weeks but I would (LOLWHAT) then goes on to say this doesn't excuse my boyfriend, he can still come in today regardless of me (which is true) but my boyfriend kept telling him how he wants to do this with me as a couple, again, TOGETHER. Obviously, Jeremy did not get the picture and only cared about money because here we are, out $236 and in a very uncomfortable situation where my boyfriend and I don't ever want to go back to this guy again because why would I want to workout with a guy who only cares about himself and his money. In all honesty, if I was rich, I'd pay you the money not to go to him. Screenshots of his texts follow

I highly recommend Fit By Definition to anyone, whether you have a lot or weight and/or inches to lose, or just want to tone up and feel great.... 6/5/10: I am currently in week 5 of a 12 week Summer Fit Camp by Fit By Definition. Enrolled in the fit camp are 6 woman of different ages and sizes. We meet at a local park 5 days a week from 5:45-6:30am. Although I am not a morning person, I love getting up working out with our trainer, Kristin. Each day is different, so you are never bored and she does an excellent job ensuring that we are doing the exercises correctly and pushes us without being mean. It is NOT a boot camp! In addition, she educates us about nutrition and your goals and progress is kept private via email.

This review is specifically for FitCamp…read more Just to give you some background on my situation: I have never done any sort of fitness class previously. In fact, I've never really been in shape. I am about as far from an athlete as you can get. I started this program to supplement running in an effort to get rid of lingering flab and improve core strength after having two kids. The classes attract a wide variety of sizes and abilities. There are a lot of runners looking for cross training but there are also plenty of people who are in the early stages of getting fit. I've found the class environment to be very motivating because I can't just give up when the person next to me is performing well. It makes me push myself. Most sessions you'll do 3 sets of 3-4 upper body moves, the same for lower body and then some core work. Sometimes there are special days where you'll do 3 sets of 12 moves instead. It's a combo of strength and cardio. Having someone else tell you what moves to do and being in control of the clock really makes the time fly by because you don't have to think about what to do next and for how long. Yes, it's a little rough when it's hot. If you can make it work, I highly suggest the 6 am classes in the summer. If you can't make that happen, try to arrive early to grab a spot in the shade! It's great being outside though. There is always great people watching on Art Hill too. After the first class, I was super sore and walking like Frankenstein's monster for two days. However, since then I've had only moderate soreness. I generally go twice a week in addition to running 3-4 days/week on my own. I am seeing some awesome results and dusting off clothes that haven't seen much wear in the last few years. All in all, I'm really enjoying seeing how my performance improves from class to class. I don't see myself quitting any time soon. The only reason I can't give a five-star review is that I don't think there's enough emphasis on proper form. Kristin is super nice to the point of maybe letting things slide a little bit. She is very good about giving positive encouragement though. I genuinely look forward to these sessions.

But the workouts are intense and are set up in a way that I always feel motivated to push myself. (More than I ever have before) I am happy to report that I am signing up for a year membership; as well as their 6 week body transformation that starts in a couple of weeks. (Nutrition based). If you haven't found a gym or program that works for you, I urge you to try TF for a month!

On top of which, he's dependable and stays in touch with you if you have any questions outside of class.

It is HIIT, some days are cardio focused, some are resistance focused, and some will just torch your entire body. To me F45 is efficient, effective, and encourages people to live a healthy lifestyle. Efficient: Weekday classes are 45 minutes. No time wasted. I love it especially because it holds me accountable to the active and rest times. I still go to Gold's however balancing my fitness with F45 has been life changing for me. When I am at Gold's, I obviously control my own rest times so technically I could be resting too long. At F45, you are going as soon as the screen goes green. Effective: 45 minutes of intense and I mean intense movements. If you are starting out in fitness, do not worry, you can always modify any exercise. The trainers of course will help you with that. For those who have been working out for a while, this will still kick your bum, trust me! Encourages: People make the difference. You will hear others say great job! or gives someone a high five once class is over. The trainers at this location are super fun and motivating. The layout is the same as any F45. It is clean and tidy. They have wipes so you know that the equipment is sanitary. Bathrooms are very clean. They have showers, I have not used them however they are in tip top shape. There are lockers for your belongings. There is a fountain where you can fill your bottle without the mouthpiece of the bottle touching anything; it's automatic. Some places do not have this type of fountain. The layout of the classes are great, I am never shoulder to shoulder with anyone because who wants to be when you are glistening in sweat?! I love this F45 studio in Des Peres, MO and hope you have a chance to check this gym out!
