He teaches discipline, respect for Okinawan Karate, fellow students, and oneself. I will never forget the training katas, the Gis we would wear, and the self defense we were taught.

When it comes to fitness, I'm game for just about anything. Just about. To preface, I'm disciplined…read morein the beat-the-heck-out-of-your-body arts, you know, pushups and situps and lifting and punching, alongside a little stretching here and there, for balance. As a general rule, I like to sweat. I'm of the midwestern German/Jewish/British bloodline so my veins are pretty heated, thus when I get moving, I'm a faucet, it's disgusting, honestly. If you're anywhere near my proximity when I'm dripping, stay away. I'm like a garden hose under thunderous pressure, hurling my droplets upon unsuspecting passers by. I should also preface this with the admission that I enjoyed an introduction to Pilates from a friend/associate/trainer who offered to show me the ropes, springs and stands of the art free of charge. I didn't take a class and although the personal training session wasn't leveraged on an agreement to review the venue, I can't claim this was a genuine appointment with the business. Like many of you, I was genuinely curious about Pilates. Years of television commercials offered virtually no clue into the underworld of this fascinating practice, and once I was there, in a facility equipped with the very best, I totally got it. Pilates is the yin in my aging, overburdened yang. I'm about to turn 40, about to hit that Over the Hill mark, and that means I hurt, mysteriously, in places that never hurt before. As we age, we realize that stretching and activating those muscle groups that we ignored for 40 years suddenly matters. Momentum Studio is an excessively clean, dynamic facility decked out with machines that are built to bend you sideways, upwards and out. The contraptions in this place, man, they're genius inventions of wood and coil, pulley and spoke, the kind of thing your nutty neighbor developed in his garage, and they work wonders. One hour of work in here will realign your spine and reset your clock to Zen. Next visit, I'm investigating Barre. Can't wait.

(Brian, Aline, Liz, Kelly, & Lourdes - every one awesome) They offer (& recommend) a new customer package of four private lessons. They will allow you to split that with a friend though, making it even MORE affordable. After that they have class packages and also a drop-in rate. Open studio available for those whose training is already more advanced. I've been looking for a studio or some place to go that is more supportive than where I've been taking physical therapy (which I believe is actually making my joint injury worse as they have a specific goal in mind and push, push, push to get to it in the prescribed amount of appointments), and I've found it! I have no fear that the work I do here will be comprehensive, challenging, but appropriate for me and safe. I'm looking forward to starting Pilates equipment and Barre classes!!

We went for a few lessons before New Years because we were planning to go to a big party at a hotel in Colorado, and figured knowing how to dance would be worthwhile. The folks at enchantment were awesome! We got several personal lessons, and they were happy to have us stay around for group classes and their dance parties too. Very cool. We learned several ballroom dances, and they instructors were so nice and helpful! We actually managed to do some dancing on New Year and not make total asses of ourselves. The only drawback is that you get what you pay for. Meaning that the lessons here are not exactly cheap. I think that they are very worth it, but be prepared...

The only problem is that there is only cardio equipment there. The other issue I have with this gym is there is no sauna. Apparently it's been out of service for years.
