Whether you're brand new or have been working out for years, you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. What I especially love is the variety of classes. Blaze does an amazing job blending strength training, cardio, core work, yoga, and mobility/stretch classes so every workout feels different and well-balanced. It keeps things fun while also helping you build real strength and flexibility. The instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging, and clearly passionate about what they do. They challenge you while still offering modifications so everyone can work at their own level. If you're looking for a place that supports your fitness goals, keeps workouts fresh, and has a great community vibe, Blaze is it. I'm so glad I found this studio!

As a newbie, I wasn't sure what to expect. From the moment I entered the studio, I have felt welcome at every step. Sarah the owner is wonderful, and the instructors have been amazing. The wide range of classes, flexible schedules (and access to recorded sessions) makes it incredibly easy to find something each day that fits my need. And Sunday morning beach yoga is the best way ever to start your week! I attribute so much of my successful recovery (the results have been amazing) to the warmth and community this studio provides.

There's an outdoor deck/patio that you can sit and relax on too if you want to take a break from your workout. Although the bouldering section is relatively smaller (compared to the Portsmouth location which is entirely bouldering), there is a good variety of problems and wall angles, plus an additional smaller wall on the upper level. Price wise, I'd say it's a little steep especially if you only want to boulder (or only ropes- I wish gyms offered discounts for one type of climbing but I understand that would be difficult to track/enforce). And amenities are a little older/dated, but they do have showers, foot rinse stations etc. And a nice retail/merch section of front. For first time visitors - I know every gym has its standards/procedures, but the entire mandatory walkthrough and explanation of all classes/events offered is a bit overkill in my opinion. I think that is something that should be announced/posted on flyers and elaborated on in person on a case-by-case basis. All in all though, I do enjoy this facility and try to make it out at least once during my annual beach vacation in Maine. @azfitfoodfun

The space is clean, bright, and located in the heart of downtown. The honor system at YBD extends far and wide: all donations are made anonymously and there are no suggested fees. What a gift to the community!!! (Not to mention, an example of the true spirit of yoga). I hope patrons continue to donate what they can so that the doors of YBD can stay open for a very long time to come.

I've been a member of Seacoast Kettlebell for a year now and hands down, it has been THE BEST gym…read moreexperience I've had. Here was my situation a year ago - most of my life, up until we had kids, I'd stayed in top shape with a combination of running, biking, climbing. . . etc. However, with 2 young kids under 4, at 39 years old, I found myself very out of shape. I'd tried the P90X and the INSANITY videos (which are great) but I'd never stick with them for more than a couple weeks. I needed exactly what Seacoast Kettlebell offered: - Intense, varied workouts that were 1 hour long and offered throughout the day at times that worked with my family, kid, work schedule - Accountability - coaches and others at the gym to push me when, if I was working out on my own, I would want to slack off. Everyone is friendly and the culture at SKB is to encourage each other. - Wholistic - the workouts, over the course of a week, address every aspect of fitness, from endurance to cardio to core strength and also flexibility. No home routine was giving me that. Keep in mind, though, that Seacoast Kettlebell is a CrossFit-affiliated gym - CrossFit is a philosophy & a method of training called H.I.I.T. used by some of the world's best athletes. At SKB, I have found that I'm training with SERIOUS athletes and I am always pushed to work hard. Some of these fellow SKB'ers are training for marathons/triathlons plus several UNH teams are trained by SKB - that said, there are always serious athletes at each class that really push me so I can make the most of the hour-long session. Some people will find that training at this level is not for them. SKB has a great one-month trial membership so you can give it 30-days to see if you like it.

I'm visiting from out of town and back home in California I'm a crossfitter. I have been attending…read morethis gym for 3 weeks (my stay here in New Hampshire) and have really enjoyed myself. Apparently this place used to be a crossfit, but it didn't work well for them so they dropped the name. Many of their exercises are similar however and what I found cool is that they do a lot of kettlebell work (in the name right? lol). I attended the large class and the more private smaller classes. Both are fine and incorporate weights with cardio. The exercises are varied and have left me sore, even considering I'm an avid crossfitter at home. There are a few things I don't like but I think it's more of where I come from and how I like to exercise so nothing really bad on the gym. I enjoy more pushing during my workout, like "you can do more weight, just add a little" or "you got this don't drop that weight." I personally find that encouragement helpful (not to injury of course). There are a LOT of instructors here and one or two I have noticed are helpful that way but not the majority. Although they don't claim to be a weight lifting gym, they do incorporate olympic weight lifting a little. My last and only real complaint I guess is that several of their instructors do not have a good knowledge base for weight lifting. It's not really their main thing nor is it heavily relied on in the workouts so not a giant deal. I'm not faulting them for this in my rating but I was really surprised that for example...depth in a squat was faulted by several instructors. Things like that make me put less weight on the bar during workouts here because I'm not confident personally to weight lift "alone" more or less. So if one wants olympic weight lifting or an emphasis on it, go somewhere else. However, for free weights, kettlebells and body weight movements/exercises this place is awesome and I definitely recommend. I will be returning when I come back!
