For nearly $400 a month, I expected a premium fitness club--not an employee-led scavenger hunt…read more Sharon, a personal trainer at LifeTime Fitness in Frontenac, apparently believes that returning equipment to the place it belongs is just a fun suggestion. Members spend enough time working out without having to tour the entire gym looking for equipment that was left somewhere else. When I mentioned that the equipment should be put back where it came from, Sharon's professional response was to tell me to "mind your own business" and that "it doesn't matter" where the equipment is returned. Interesting philosophy. I wonder if LifeTime feels that way, too. You can almost understand when an occasional member leaves equipment lying around. But when it's an employee--someone who's literally being paid to teach good habits--it's a masterclass in hypocrisy. Maybe the next training package should include a session called "How to Return Equipment 101." It's a short class: pick it up, walk it back, and put it where you found it. For a club that markets itself as a luxury fitness experience, I'd expect trainers to set the example--not encourage members to lower their standards. Apparently, "mind your own business" is now considered customer service.

Nutiformance Gym came highly recommended by a friend, and I can see why! The facility is clean,…read morewell-equipped, and has a great energy. Dale and Ellie, the owners, are incredibly welcoming and clearly passionate about building a strong fitness community. Unfortunately, my experience with one of the coaches, Amy Strahan, wasn't what I hoped for. I attended a class that wasn't beginner-friendly, despite being new to the gym. Throughout the session, Amy repeatedly suggested I sign up for one-on-one coaching with her, which felt more like a sales pitch than genuine guidance. It left a sour impression. That said, I'm not giving up on Nutiformance. I plan to return and try classes with other coaches--I believe there's a lot of potential here, and I'm hopeful my next experience will be more supportive and aligned with my fitness level.

I see a lot of the same faces every time I go and many of the gym-goers have worked out at NutriFormance for decades. Amy Strahan's Strong classes are my favorite.

I have been an avid gym-goer for the past 6-7 years (e.g. 24 Hr Fitness, LA Fitness, UFC Gym,…read morebootcamp boutique gyms, boxing and kickboxing gyms, Golds Gym). F45 though is something else! 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!

When I first got back into the gym, post-covid, out-of-shape, I loved the concept of Orangetheory…read moreand was excited to try it. However, my body was not prepared for the intensity of the workouts. The treadmill running was particularly tough on an old foot injury. The instructors absolutely offered modifications to ease my foot woes, but my competitive nature didn't want to participate if I couldn't go all out. Fast forward 2 years later, I'm in much better shape physically and I decided to give it another go. The biggest challenge for me this time wasn't the workout itself, but rather to acknowledge my own limitations, resist my competitive nature, & heed alternatives to running - like walking on an incline OR using the strider. I enjoyed Orangetheory so much more this go-around, it's truly a great full body workout. I personally love the built-in variety, since you will always rotate between rowing, strength and treadmill work. If your goal is to maximize your one-hour at the gym, enjoy a mix of cardio & strength training, and burn a ton of calories, Orangetheory will deliver results.

(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.

Reasons why I love the workout: 1. Treadmills / running are incorporated! I love to run but I hate when I have to chose either weights or running. I love Shred because it keeps both! 2. Minimal thought/ experience required. You don't have to wait for equipment or think about what your next set is going to consist of because they tell you what to do the entire time! Also, if you don't know how to do something- it doesn't matter- because your instructor shows you each move before they expect you to do it. Reason why I love this location specifically: The Instructors & Staff are just the best! I truly feel like I have made some great friends here and that all of the people in this location genuinely care about you. It's so nice that I can pick my classes to go with my favorite instructors or I can take one with someone that's not in my regular "schedule" and I still get the same amazing workout and attention. Overall, the gym is clean, safe, but most importantly fun! 100% would recommend to anyone of any experience level!

I looked for who had a good Day Pass and featured Bench/DL platforms in the Social Media posts. (I have been to a lot of sub optimal gyms where I wouldn't feel comfortable hitting a respectable bench there.) Lift STL certainly met my needs. They had many racks & locations to bench press -- no waiting on the sole bench press. They had top notch Sorinex equipment throughout. A wide variety of barbells to meet any specific needs -- including one Strongman log, DBs up to 120#, about all the machines you could need, and lots of turf for conditioning drills. If you need it, they likely have it. Personnel were kind and welcoming & put up with my occasional #OldManNoise while lifting. Facility was clean, easy to get to, & lots of nearby parking.
