I have been going to see Cris at Form Follows Fitness for at least 2 years now, and it was the best…read morechoice I ever made. She made me enjoy working out with her routines which are very rarely the same. Her positive attitude made me feel like I was in a supportive space. I am stronger than I ever have been due to what I call her 'ninja moves', which is meant as a compliment. I say this because she'll have you do an exercise with a weight, at first it seems simple and easy and you will think you could do this exercise all day with more weight, but you continue with this simple exercise, and you realize your muscle is burning. Ow! Without a doubt, she possesses knowledge on all the highly efficient techniques for targeting each muscle group! Her studio is bright and always clean with all of the equipment you will need to get a great workout.

I was hesitant about being able to accomplishing a solid workout in 25 min Personal Training session. I was wrong. I've never worked out harder, more efficiently, & more effectively.

Most of the time I train with Paul and Stephen; however, all the trainers I have worked with have been superb.

When I was a member here, they literally had one filthy towel hanging on a hook next to the…read moresanitizer, and that is how you were supposed to wipe down the equipment. I brought my concerns about them not providing clean towels to wipe down equipment to the staff member on duty, and I was told that we can all share one towel, but don't worry, because they will wash it every day. He told me the gym was too small to provide members with towels to wipe themselves with. OK fine. But the equipment needs to be wiped down after each use, and using the same dirty towel for everyone, all day, is not accomplishing that. I've never seen another gym do this. I was a member here for a year, and every other week one of the ellipticals or stationary bikes was broken. In such a small gym, this is very inconvenient.

It's a smaller gym, but I feel like if you come in with a purpose it isn't so bad. One suggestion to management perhaps would be in regards with employees and eating at the front desk.

I came in with significant pain that I thought I understand the source for and it turns out I was wrong. Kasey figured out the actual source of my pain and then used her tool kit to fix me. In addition to creating a plan for my treatment, Kasey coordinated with my doctor, physical therapist and trainer to ensure I had a solid treatment plan in place. I cannot say enough amazing things about Kasey! I also have a fabulous trainer, Jacob who has been working hand in hand with Kasey helping me to get in shape. He's awesome! Ethos rocks in short!!

It's a great experience and you'll learn a lot. Highly recommend! Max Goodman -

If you are committed to getting stronger, this is the perfect gym to join. The monthly membership…read moreis absolutely worth it for-- 1. Knowing you have your own scheduled rack and never having to wait. The space is clean and simple (no clutter, distractions, multiple floor levels, overwhelming equipment). 2. An individualized, optimized program made just for you so you never have to guess what's next. It's even adjusted on the spot according to your ability that day. (If I were responsible for selecting my own weights, I know I would not challenge myself to progressively go up due to self-doubt and safety concerns) 3. Excellent coaching. Having someone to watch your lifts, spot your bench presses, and provide feedback and encouragement. I also learned misc, unspoken things like how to load a plate, how to use the safety pins, how to wear a belt, and etiquette like not walking in front of someone's deadlift. Thank you Alex, Jon, Cordelia, Evelyn! 4. A motivating community of gymmates. There are only like 10 racks in the space, so as you go in at the same times each week, you get to see and get to know the same group of people. Everyone is training together and congratulating each other on PRs (personal records). We have also had fun socials (a beach party, a gathering at a brewery). 5. And lastly--you will actually get stronger, physically and mentally. You will exert all your effort into one lift one day, and maybe you will even fail it, but a few months later, it will become your warmup. The process is challenging and satisfying. All you have to do is show up! "The human body functions as a complete system--it works that way, and it likes to be trained that way." - Rip
