I am so glad I found Nicky. At 68 I have lost and gained 30+ pounds more times in my life than I…read morecan count. Occasionally I hired a trainer, sometimes through a gym, sometimes not, but I never really felt any huge results. I started a walking 5 years ago and that has been good. Changing my diet to low carb and walking regularly, helped me lose 40+ pounds over the last year. Now I needed to build muscle, get toned, and work on balance and posture. My upper body is weak, I lost tone (and my butt) with this last weight loss. As I age I notice small losses in balance. My posture has been an issue most of my life. I did research. The first trainer I hired, who was less expensive, gave me cookie cutter exercises and didn't push me. Maybe he thought I was too old. Then I hired Nicky. She is not easy on me, but goes at my pace. If I can't do something, she modifies it so I can be successful and still get the benefits. I am amazed at every workout with her depth of knowledge. Working together we have uncovered some issues I didn't know I had and we are working to correct them. When I started having a weird issue, we both researched it and she suggested I see a PT to confirm what we both suspect. I like that she researched the issue and also that she knows her limitations. She says, " I'm not a PT. They study for years. But I know training. " I'm feeling stronger in just a few months. My posture has visibly improved. I didn't expect to see a difference so quickly. She takes measurements and checks for muscle increase periodically. It's not required, but I like to see data. I'm pretty knowledgeable about nutrition, but she made some suggestions. I lost a few more pounds, even though that is not my primary goal at this point. I just want to be stronger and more toned. I want to live healthy into old age and I believe having a strong body is absolutely essential. If you want results and not just go through the motions, give Nicky a shout. If you are willing to work and want to work with someone knowledgeable, she's a great choice. Her workouts are tailored to each client. She will make sure you are safe and provide encouragement.

Nicky took the time to go over what my current diet was and how I could lose weight with some pretty simple meal adjustments she help set up a nutrition program through an app and we programmed in a sample day for me to start with. She was able to explain where my current meal routine was way too high in certain macros and why shifting and excluding items would help me to lose weight and be more healthy. Ultimately I would love to get some resistance training done with her but her schedule was full. I would highly recommend her for nutritional advice and the reasoning behind making the right choices!

It's fun, safe, educational, motivational, and provides everything you need to either start your fitness journey or get yourself back on track. The type of care is a lifestyle change from eating healthy to finding what fitness program you want to be in and what pace. I've worked out at gyms and held memberships all over the world throughout my Navy career, and I can honestly say I definitely recommend this place. The positive atmosphere, supportive community, and dedication from the staff really make it stand out.

It's a nice gym but I think the schedule needs more flexibility. MWF is just upper and abs which if…read moreyou want to go to the gym 3 times a week doesn't give you variety to mix it up or give your body a rest. You'd have to go at least two days in a row somewhere in order to get a balanced workout. I think a better model would be to have a mixture of classes per day so we can pick which one we want and have more control over our schedules and fitness goals. Other than that it's a nice, safe, setup. The app needs to be a little more user friendly as it does not allow the clients to cancel membership or pause. If you mistakenly choose repeated appointments, you are not given access to cancel them on your own. So you'll get billed until you physically go into the office and they manually take you off automatic bookings.

181 fitness has been the best investment I've made for myself this past year. After having my twins…read moreI didn't know if I was ever going to get back to my previous fitness level. I tried popular home workout plans and bought a membership to a big box gym, but it wasn't long before I dreaded my workouts due to lack of direction and minimal progress. I can confidently say that I have exceeded any fitness expectations that I previously set for myself, all because of the trainers at 181 Fitness, who are extremely knowledgeable and truly CARE about each client. They work with all fitness levels, to make the workouts work for you, not the reverse. If something doesn't feel right, I let one of the trainers know, and without hesitation they switch it out for a different exercise. Since joining 181, I now feel like each one of my workouts is well thought out and has a purpose. Can't recommend it highly enough!

Whether you are in the group class or the private sessions, a trainer works with you one on one to help meet your fitness needs. They observe your movements to make sure that your form is correct and to ensure you don't hurt yourself while trying to better yourself. Most importantly, the team at 181 is awesome. From Cody, to Jessie, to Tony, to Gabe, they welcome you and make you feel like family. If you've been thinking about "getting back in shape," stop proscrastinating. Make the call, because a year from now you will have wish you started yesterday.

Ok this review is specifically for the classes included with the membership. I really enjoy…read moreMauricio's Zumba classes, but there's one ongoing issue that honestly should be addressed by the gym staff. Some members constantly save large sections of the front row for friends who don't arrive until class is about to start. Today, Friday class for example, one lady used like 8 water bottles to reserve spots for people who showed up right as class began. Meanwhile, people who actually arrived early couldn't use those spaces. It's honestly surprising to see such territorial behavior from grown women in a fitness class...embarrassing. I understand saving one spot for a friend, but this has become excessive and very territorial. The classes get packed, and some of the behavior feels less like a fitness class and more like auditions for Dancing With the Stars. We get it... everyone has their favorite spot, but don't be selfish. The class should feel welcoming and fair for everyone. I hope the gym staff will address this so all members can enjoy the classes equally. I can also see how new clients could feel discouraged from trying these classes when faced with this type of behavior.

Their classes provide all of the components of feeling good with the perfect balance of cardio, weight training, stretching and flexibility training.

Before I joined I felt like my body ached all the time. Now I feel strong and flexible and balanced. HWD is a gym that gladly hop out of bed for knowing I won't feel as good in my day without the work out. Thank you to Coach Richard, Coach KayKay, and Coach Lauren!

He absolutely loves what he does, and it permeates through each training session. I reached out to Kai to get help with chronic lower back pain, and quickly realized Kai was a perfect fit. I always do my due diligence and look for the right service professional. The formula I have found to identify the best service professionals is to find somebody who passionate about what they do and who is obsessed with their craft. Well that is Kai in a nutshell. He genuinely cared and immediately began creating a program to help alleviate my back pain to begin building up the necessary strength for long term success. I have never lifted weights before, and Kai has made it such an easy process. Taking the time to educate me and "show me the ropes." He will motivate you each session and is genuinely excited to be there with you. You should expect multiple high-fives during your sessions ha ha. It has been a great experience working with Kai and I'm so glad that I discovered him. I highly recommend Kai and know that he can help you achieve your goal.
