Programming is good and scales no matter the class size. Data, I love the data they track. Things I'm uncertain of: Is this a place for atheletes, is a for golfers, is it for fitness? Since I don't know, I'm not sure ownership does. Programming is less innovative since big changes. Not sure if its programming by committee or by russian roulette, but doesnt seem as connected and certainly less innovative. Would be similar to a crossfit, orange theory, F45 type class.

New boutique Pilates studio in downtown Monterey. They have 5 reformers in studio which makes for a…read morevery intimate class. I had the pleasure to meet the founder Arianna who was checking in guests and Melody was the instructor for the class that I took. She walked around the room at the beginning asking each guest if they have ever taken a reformer class before and if there were any injuries to be aware of. This was my first time taking a reformer Pilates class and Melody did an amazing job at thoroughly explaining all the components of the equipment and exercises. She walked around the room and made hands on adjustments (with permission). Grit + tonic is offering quite a few founders sale deals. I got my first class for $41 which is not the "cheapest" Pilates studio that I've seen in the area but the cost for the intimacy seems fair to me. Overall, I had a great time here and would come back.

Anything from traditional Pilates and ranges to more cardio or off the reformers with light weights. I get such a good workout no matter the class or instructor! It's so cute and clean. The intimate class setting really gives you the space and opportunity to master your techniques! The trainers are able to give you more attention since the class sizes are small. It's been over a year taking 4-6 classes monthly and I have never felt stronger. Highly recommended!!

Here's my story: Signing up January 2021 as my New Years resolution was a no brainer. I had gained over 100 lbs since 2018! Initially, I didn't want to spend almost $500 with not being fully committed, but for my health and being a couple years to 40 I knew carrying all this excess weight was not doing anything for my future other than getting one foot closer to the grave. When I began, COVID-19 was full blown and Monterey county was still in the purple tier. We had masks and were outdoors everyday five days a week at 5am! I was so out of shape. Couldn't jump, couldn't burpee couldn't jog. Here I am going into my FIFTH challenge over 90lbs lighter! I can do a burpee, sprint and jump like a frog! I never regret one day of this challenge and this program. I never regret the workouts. I never regret getting back my health. I have a total of 7 challenges to complete, but I will succeed. I'm doing this for me and it feels good!

It makes everything really easy. Once you get into the routine, you'll actually enjoy it and you'll look forward to your next your next visit. Full disclosure.- I am not a gym rat and never will be. There are plenty of people in the gym, but you'll hardly ever wait for a piece of equipment. I noticed the common courtesy of almost all the users cleaning their workout equipment their handles in the seats in the seatbacks with this infected when they were finished with their use of the machine I thought that was really indicative of the kind of people using the gym and taking care of it and making sure that other people comfortable after they use. Very classy if you want a trainer, you can hire one if you can go with a buddy and have them show you how to use the equipment, but if you get stuck, there are staff members on hand to help you with any questions that you have. I highly suggest you consider this site in the Del Monte center.

Hi Coach Masha & Coach Rios,…read more I just wanted to say--wow. My first session with Coach Rios was amazing. For an old guy trying to get back in as much shape as possible for this tournament in 40 days, I couldn't have asked for a better start. Coach Rios showed up on time, asked a lot of questions, really took the time to get to know me and my abilities. He pushed me the right amount so I felt it, but also gave me freedom to back down when I needed to. I loved the way he kept the movement and variety going so my brain didn't check out, while still drilling the repetitions I know I'll need. He wasn't just letting me go through motions--he was picking apart my technique, which I really appreciate. It made the workout both tough and fun. Five stars all the way. I'm genuinely looking forward to this relationship growing with Boxing Strong.
