I've always played with the idea of having a personal trainer because of the knowledge and encouragement they possess. I started having Ivan train me about a month ago and in just 3 weeks, I've already felt the difference in my body, strength, and endurance! Not only does he teach me about form, but he's a great hype man! The rest of the trainers are great also - friendly, positive, and fun to be around - allows the space to be a fun atmosphere to be around. I'm currently working on a 3 month transformation that he's helping me with and included will be meal plans along with 2x week training. I heard about their foam rolling/stretching session that I will start to incorporate! Highly recommend and worth the investment!

Dominic and the other teacher (can not remember her name) are amazing! The classes are tailored for your needs.

The classes are perfect because he tailors them to your strength and skill level! The studio is clean and prices are fair!

Dominic's studio is a very basic pilates studio. It's not fancy nor modern but it has all the…read morewonderful pilates equipment such as the reformers, cadillac, chair, and the barrel. The center isn't very busy so there is always plenty of parking. It does get a little crowded when there's a spin class going on at Revolution a few doors down. The first 3 classes are free which is wonderful because that is just the right amount of time for you to get a feel of the studio. Even though there are specific class times on the schedule, you aren't actually all working out at the same time. At first I wasn't sure if it's something I like since most of the time you start and end at the same times as others as a group. But after a few classes, I actually prefer it this way. A run through of how the session at DU Pilates work. 1. Come in and Dominic will likely direct you to a reformer of his choice. 2. He will talk with you over any concerns that you have for the day. My knee was actually bothering me last time so he scaled the workout to not put pressure on my knee. 3. He'll instruct you through the moves. If you are brand new to Pilates, he will spend more time with you. If you are more seasoned, he work with someone else while keeping an eye on your form. He will correct from across the room. 4. Once you are done, you are done since it's not timed with a class setting. There are sometimes 3-4 other people in the studio when I am there and everyone is working out at different pace and different levels. I actually like it because you go at your own pace and ability. A more advanced person wouldn't have to do the same as a less advanced and vice versa. My first two sessions, I was doing a lighter workout and by my 3rd he added more moves. I have done Pilates in the past so I feel like he is advancing me quicker. As first I was concern with the multiple different people but Dominic is very good at multitasking and helping each client. Now that I am done with my first 3 I plan to purchase a package. I can already feel the benefits of Pilates again.

This is a great neighborhood YMCA with a good variety of amenities and classes. One of the biggest…read morehighlights is the outdoor pool, which is heated during the winter and stays open year-round unless temperatures drop below freezing. The pool also has a 9-foot deep end and a few lap lanes. One downside is there's very little shade around the pool area. Inside, there are free weights and cardio areas, basketball courts, TRX setup, and several group fitness rooms offering classes like yoga, pilates, Zumba, pickleball, and other fitness programs. The instructors and staff have always been very friendly and welcoming. The men's and women's locker rooms also include a steam sauna and hot tub, which are nice amenities. However, the steam saunas are frequently closed or broken for maintenance, so I'd recommend calling ahead to confirm what's currently working before visiting. Another downside is that the lockers require you to bring your own lock--they do not have built-in combination locks like many newer gyms. They offer memberships for different age groups, and another huge plus is the free covered parking garage. However, during weekday evenings (around 6 p.m.), the garage can get pretty full due to after-work crowds and youth programs. I've been a YMCA member for several years and would definitely recommend this location.

I chose this gym bc of the pool and bc it doesn't allow filming inside the fitness center which in…read moretodays age it is an amazing experience to be able to workout without fear of ending up on social media without without your consent. I also like the weight room as it has an impressive selection of smith machines and cardio equipment such as the treadmills which have fans incorporated into their machines. There are 3 things I have noticed that I don't like: 1. the weight room doesn't have a bench that allows you to do workouts in declined mode and the staff wouldn't let me donate a commercial bench with that option. so Declined DB or BB press cannot be done which is strange as it is offered at most corporate gyms. 2. DB selections for the most common weights sets such as 10-25 lb are lacking with only 1 set of DB weights per designated weight for a gym that might have 15 people working out in free weight room (the very least offer *3 sets of 12 lb dumbbells). 3. the men's locker rooms wooden benches and the three leather seats by the tv are stinky dirty and we know this bc every-time I placed my towel on the seats or the bench to change out of my clothes; this foul smell is left on the towel. The smell is so potent that it transfers to my gym bag like trash left out on the sun for several days and I find myself having to wash the towel and the gym bag just to get the homeless stench off. I have learned to avoid the men's locker room like a plague and instead use the lockers found across the gym to put my belongings.

The Villages Gym is the perfect place for everyone from newbies to fitness to gladiators that take on marathons. It has everything you need, but in a smaller, comfortable and clean space that allows you to work hard and feel comfortable doing it. To me, its the "Cheers" feel about it where everyone knows my name and is supportive of my efforts. Getting to the gym is a feat for me, I'm no athlete, and these guys always greet me with smile that is like that inner-high-five feeling. It keeps me coming back. Highly recommend their personal trainers. I see Heather Sholl, but I know they are all good. PS if you are looking for big lights, big city gym with complicated contracts, a pool, climbing wall and squash courts - this isn't for you. If you are looking for support while you do a workout using Pilates equipment, free weights, treadmills, bikes, ellipticals, weight machines, etc and a comfortable place to change and shower, you'll love it. And by the way, if you don't love it, its no big deal because you pay month to month. The owner says they want people there who want to be there - not because they are contractually bound. Yes!
