Big Blue Strength or BBS is a rare gem. I have been a member for more than a year and the team has…read moremiraculously made this really out-of-shape elderly nerd feel very comfortable. For this, I could not be more grateful. They will patiently and expertly adjust to your level and needs. There are now four youngsters from my extended family benefiting from BBS. Members range from true beginners to super jocks and yet all blend in smoothly. The owners and trainers are genuinely passionate about their mission to turn you into a healthier individual. I highly recommend this affordable and collegial no-judgment zone. Truthfully, sometimes I have to reluctantly drag my sorry rear end there but I always feel so much better after my group or individual session. My next goal is to try their much praised Pilates classes. Again, give BBS a shot, you will not regret it.

This is a great place to work out. They do a semi-personal training style wherein they show you…read morethe exercises you are supposed to do and how to do them and then let you off to go do them. This isn't the kind of place where they are in your face the whole time. I have been coming here for 5 months as of now and I can tell you I feel a lot stronger and in much better physical condition. They custom tailor the workouts to fit your needs and wants. There are several people here from all different ages and physical conditions. They also help people who are recovering from injuries. They also offer some classes in the evening, though I don't know much about them because I can only work out in the morning. I have never stuck with a personal trainer or even on specific gym for as long as I have here. I like the staff and they make each day different so you don't plateau or get bored. I like this place so much that now my mother in law, sister in law, and even one of her friends and their mother come too.

All I do is moan and complain when working out at Lift. It's torture-not good torture, wet (like…read morewater-boarded with my own sweat), an hour of something I imagine resembling hell. But you know what, for some reason, I return, at least once each week, for more. The staff - fun, knowledgeable, and relaxed. The space - a nicely converted garage, not too big, not too small. The equipment - modern, well maintained, cleaned regularly. The clientele - other than myself, respectable, varied in age, body-type, agility, and athleticism, with a good gender balance. The workout plan - classes (mornings, evenings, and weekends) of 15-20 pain lovers do an hour of circuit training, muscle confusion centered, varied exercises, with little rest, and with lots of music. Pay as you go, buy a 10 pack (my preference) or pay per month for unlimited. Clients also have the option to pay a premium for one on one training per appointment. Regular doses of this stuff help keep a boy/girl sane, and regular doses of this lead to a well earned visit to one our Yelp favorites for food and drink. It's all part of the grand and tasty cycle of life.

M-F there are 5 daily classes (5:30a, 8:15a, 9:15a, 5:30p, 6:15p) on S-S there is one class (8:00a) Cost of the classes are dirt cheap! $5 per class, $30 for 2x a week and $60 for unlimited access. Ok now that I got all the preliminaries out the way, lets start the real review... its beast mode for 45 minutes! The trainers are realy great! Demarcus tends to meet you where you are while pushing you just a little further. Its hard work, I won't lie, but it is worth it. I am one of those people who hates (I mean really HATES) to exercise. But the people here are encouraging!!! Not only is there a trainer pushing you, but you are pushing each other!!! Ok so since I have been here, we switch it up a little. We tend to have a couple "stations" going, one of the stations is considered the "timer". (i.e. suicides or the tire flip) We rotate stations. I have been buddied up and I have been by myself... it depends... there is always something new everytime I walk in. I have been for about 6 weeks now, and I am adding a second day... I have seen improvement in my stamina, I am goign to keep pushing myself! I need this! Going to the gym doesn't cut it for me, because I will give up easily... here, I know I will get what I need even though I sometimes don't want to! :D

One feels welcome from the first visit as all clients are welcomed warmly and respectfully. The Art of Contrology - Pilates - is taught as an art form - a time-proven practice of integrating the energy of one's mind, body and spirit. And, the results are quickly apparent in one's posture, balance and strength. It's quite a refreshing change from the big box culture of many gyms. I've become a devoted advocate of mindful movement...thank you breathe!

We are fortunate, in Lexington, to have so many wonderful exercise class options. A friend…read moreintroduced me to Breathe, and to Scarlett Haley, when she was in between knee surgeries. I was new to Pilates, and, quite frankly, a little skeptical that it would be a "real workout." I can't quite convey the level of pain I was in after my first Pilates class...every muscle in my body (including several with which I was previously unacquainted) hurt. My eyebrows hurt. Yes, eyebrows can hurt. And that was the next day. I think my mind shut down the second day after that class, when even breathing hurt. I know I'm not making this sound very appealing, but, strangely, it was. Pilates is very low impact, but the level of workout you get is exceptional. The class I took was a reformer class, and I have since taken many more classes from Scarlett, who is so delightful that even when I would dearly love to slug her for suggesting a particularly tough set she somehow makes me laugh in spite of myself. I know this review is for the center - Breathe - and the center is lovely...very simple décor, clean and bright, and the equipment is excellent. I have not taken a yoga class here, though the yoga rooms I pass on the way to the torture chamber are all very inviting (seriously, why is there no shavasana after Pilates?), and the other instructors, and the owner, are all delightful people. Scarlett is the big draw here, for me; she has a background is physical rehabilitation, so she is excellent when working with the walking wounded, whether it be a minor discomfort or a major post-surgical condition. She is also a very competitive tennis player, so she knows firsthand how good body condition feels and how being fit will improve your game. Scarlett is inspiring (I actually want to do all of the terrible things she suggests I try) and she is very encouraging (even when there is no way I can get my body to do the thing she wants it to do). I have noticed a HUGE improvement in my flexibility, my core strength, and my muscle tone since starting Pilates with Scarlett, and I am proud to say that I am on a first-name basis with almost all of my muscles...or at least all of my muscles who are currently speaking to me. I highly recommend Breathe - and Scarlett Haley - for Pilates reformer classes. I always leave class feeling like I have truly accomplished something, and my spirits are lighter and my outlook is better after every class.
