Traditionally Sundays are for brunch and Bloody Marys. This past Sunday I decided to go Zen and…read moretake a 4PM Gentle Yoga class at Energy Movement Center in downtown Peekskill. It's a small studio with two yoga/workout rooms but has a HUGE community feel. Drop in class are $20 but they offer tons of packages from class cards to full membership. Besides yoga they offer Pilates, tai chi, cardio, personal training and specialized workshops/events. Gentle Yoga @4PM on Sunday is led by Liz Lazo who added a little bit of Zen via starting with meditation (a bit more than breath in/out) before guiding us through the gentle yoga practice. It was a small class just 2 people so she tailored the class to our needs (back/hips). She is excellent but since she's also my cousin I will list her bio not written by me! Liz Lazo has been practicing yoga for over 13 years and has received instruction in Hatha, Iyengar, Kripalu & Vinyasa styles. She earned her 200 Hour Vinyasa Teacher Training certificate through Living Yoga with Liz Schulman and Richard Villella in March 2013. Liz is a registered member of Yoga Alliance. In addition, she attained the First Degree of Reiki through Ginny Mackles in March 2011 and applies the principles to her work as a yoga student and instructor. Related or not she's good enough to get me to give up my Sunday Bloodys!

Very confusing. Why does website link on this page go to Go No Sen Wellness center that's located…read moreat 28 Welcher Ave (vs 928 Welch Street at shown on Yelp)?? I was in town in Peekskill just visiting, and thought I'd look for a yoga class. Found this listing on yelp, but webpage link is for something else. Guess I won't be going to yoga then. Not going to waste my time as I've no idea 'where' to go or how to find their website and list of classes....

This Retro Fitness in Fort Lee is hands-down the best gym in the area. The equipment is always…read moreclean and actually works--you won't find "out of order" signs sitting on machines for weeks here. The owners are great people who are always around and friendly. Most importantly, they actually listen to feedback and make improvements based on what members say. It's a professional, well-run spot that's worth the membership.

I have been going to Retro Fitness in Fort Lee for quite a few years now, and for the last year I…read morehave been training with Valerie who is AMAZING. I had a friend with a bad knee who wants to get moving again, and after seeing Valerie working with others and finding out that she has a specific background and training in physical therapy to really know how to work safely with you, I recommended my friend, try her. She made so much improvement and raved about her so much, that when I wanted to get more serious But protect my shoulder and knee, which bother me, I too signed up with Valerie. I could not be happier. She is very careful and very attentive. She focuses closely on form I will stop and lighten the weights immediately if she sees any struggling to keep proper form. She is so positive and uplifting. I'm never afraid to admit. I've had a bad week food wise and she always makes me want to get back in the saddle again. I also saw the results in my muscles after only a month or so. I can't say enough positive things about her. And she is not the only one. All of the trainers who run the classes are very good. The classes are fun and as challenging as you want them to be or easy as you need them to be. There is no shame here.

I have been working out with Clint for the last 6 months and I can't imagine not having him as my…read moretrainer. I never lifted weights until I started working with Clint so I didn't realize how effective it is for transforming my body and burning calories. I've always been very nervous to go near the weights in the gym I belong to so I only focused on cardio, bodyweight exercises and abs, exercises I thought were easy to tackle without hurting myself. Yet I was always having knee pain... Clint pointed out that I have been doing squats and lunges wrong this whole time on my own. This is why I needed a trainer...doing things wrong was giving me limited results and injuries! Clint has taught me so much and I have gained so much confidence in my techniques. Having Clint as my Personal Trainer has made me feel so comfortable with weights and I'm even eager to lift heavier now(and lifting heavy weights has not made me bulky either)! Clint's training method consists of hard work but simple techniques which he will teach you to master. Clint is a stickler on form so he will make sure your form is perfect before bringing you to the next level. He will constantly remind you to breathe and reiterate how your body should be positioned. He will push you to finish your sets, but in an encouraging way. His way of instructing is stern but pleasant. He really cares that you fully understand an exercise so he will explain it 5 different ways if necessary until you understand it (which was the case with me). He is patient and provides good tips to help you remember what you are supposed to be doing. He brings great energy to the session that makes you enjoy working out with him. I am SO happy with my progress and thrilled that I found Clint as my Personal Trainer!

This gym is (thankfully) not a cheap membership, but all equipment is top of the line and everyone, from towel guy to manager (long time friend, Darren Worts) is friendly and conscientious (did I spell that rite ?) Geoff Mitchell has been the squash pro for as long as I've been a member...just don't play him at pool, for money....or for that matter, any other hand-eye related sport ! Great place and the long time former (retired) manager, Chris Rutgers gets a real five star review ...mwah

I've been spoiled at certain times in my life…read more I was born in Southern California and spent my very young years living three blocks from the beach and a short drive from Disneyland. I got out of having to be in the band, chorus or orchestra in middle school because my mom was a PTA big shot and pulled some strings. Every time we drove up from Jersey to Penn State to drop me off at college, the same mom would stop at the beer distributor and pick me up a case of Yuengling. And The Chatham Club was the first gym I ever went to. But being spoiled doesn't always have its privileges. Every other gym is ruined for me because none can keep up with this place. I've been a member here three separate times in my travails in and out of living in this area, and every time they seem to have something new for the members. With my recent membership I noticed 3 stationary bikes with large screens attached to them. They aren't TVs but provide you the opportunity to ride virtual courses. Instead of just being told there's a hill by some LCD screen, you see the hill approaching with the ocean to your left. Very cool stuff. They have a huge assortment of treadmills, bikes, ellipticals and machines (a separate spinning studio also). Pretty much everything you could need is here and then some. If there's any sort of minor complaint, the free weight area is a little small and can get crowded if you go during a busy time, but it's not too bad. There are also 6 squash courts if that's your thing plus an aerobics studio, pilates and probably tons of other things I don't even know about. Just get off your butt and go already.
