I'm so happy I was introduced to Real Fitness! I used to go to F45, but I love this place so much…read moremore. The one-on-one attention from the trainers makes such a difference -- I mostly take classes with Jesse, McKenna, and Peter, and they're all incredible. I do a mix of small group and group classes, and I genuinely enjoy every one of them. I love how much focus there is on form. The trainers make sure you're doing everything correctly and safely, and they really individualize the programming to different levels. No matter where you are in your fitness journey, they meet you there and still push you to go further. The group programming runs for 5-6 weeks at a time, which I love because you can actually track your progress and see how much stronger you're getting. I've been challenging myself to lift heavier and heavier, and I've noticed such a big change in my body -- someone even told me I have "Madonna arms," which made my day! Real Fitness has truly been a game changer for me. I'm motivated every day to show up and put in the work, and the community here is amazing -- it really feels like a family where everyone cheers each other on.

I held onto this fantasy that one day, one of my friends would take me to a gym and magically show me what to do. I looked up gyms near me when I realized this was a silly fantasy but coming here actually turned it into a reality. all the trainers are knowledgeable and meticulous. everyone is very nice and normal, which was surprising to me. there aren't any gimmicks or pretense and the pricing is very fair. health-wise it's stopped my knees from flaring up from hypermobility, I can carry much more and I can't fit into my pants for good reasons.

It's always good to step outside of the gym for a Real Fitness group hike!

Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday we work on strength and conditioning in the group classes.

(This review is for fitness training with David S)…read more I can't recommend David highly enough. As a former college athlete, he brings a deep level of knowledge--not just in building strength and fitness, but also in injury management, recovery, and long-term sustainability. That expertise shows up in every session. As an athlete in my mid-40s with my fair share of injuries and the wear and tear that comes with age and life, David has been very helpful. He has helped me stay consistent, get stronger, and avoid setbacks. What really sets him apart is how attentive and adaptable he is. He adjusts workouts on the fly based on how you're feeling that day, while still challenging you in the right ways. He brings great energy, a positive attitude, and a sense of humor that makes tough workouts enjoyable. And after the workout he takes you through stretches, which is a great way to end the session. It helps me feel calm and restored as I transition to the next thing. Beyond all of that, David is simply a kind, genuine person who truly cares about his clients. It's clear this is more than a job for him--it's his mission.

I've been coming to Evolution Fitness for a few years now and it's been such a positive experience…read more The small class sizes create a real sense of community while still giving you personalized attention. The 6-week programs are structured in a way that makes it easy to track progress and actually see improvement. When I started, I couldn't stand for long periods due to back pain. Now I've built real functional strength and am working toward muscle gain, something that once felt very far away. I take Paul's classes and he's incredibly attentive. He corrects form, offers smart modifications, and makes sure we're challenged every week. His coaching truly makes a difference. Highly recommend if you want structured training, real results, and a supportive environment.

I have always wanted to take Pilates but couldn't find a studio with the right hours. So I found them on the Mind body app. So long story short I'm glad I found them and enjoy this studio. All the instructors are knowledgeable and want people to get the form down to get the most out of Pilates. It's all about control, precision and form. I highly recommend the studio to everyone that wants to start there journey and keep practicing.

I've been doing Pilates (1-3 days a week) for almost 20 years now. I've probably been to over 10 studios during that time. Once I started coming to Archer Pilates, I can honestly say they have the best instructors I've ever had. I am now a regular of theirs since 2020 I think and I attend 4-5 classes per week!!! Their pricing is extremely valuable for the quality of their classes, patience and kindness of the instructors and their gorgeous new studio! Melanie the owner is amazing. Kat has a special place in my heart. Ashley is a rockstar. Jen is incredible. If you haven't done Pilates before, this is a great studio to go to. Many of the "trendy" studios seem great but they don't focus on you making sure your form is right. If your form isn't right, trust me, you can really hurt yourself. This studio really cares about each person that walks thru their door.

There are A LOT of choices if you want to workout outside of the home. A few of the bigger things…read moreto consider will always be time and money. My old gym membership had expired and it was time for me to figure out what I wanted to do next. I started researching some options: Yoga, Gym, Boxing, Pilates, Kickboxing, Private trainer and more. It's mind boggling but more importantly it's wallet emptying.. I was trying to find a place where I could workout whenever I wanted and not have to wait for a machine or make an appointment for a class but also not break the bank. 9Round is not only the best value compared to all the other options, but you can go anytime on any day within their hours (5am - 11pm). There are trainers there to help and guide you during specific times and there are also tv's at every station to show you how to do the workouts. There are 9 stations - and you will spend 3 minutes at each station w/a 30 second break between stations. The trainers are super helpful to show you how to do the workouts correctly, work on your form and even give you a mental push if you need/want it. The best part is you can go as often as you want, and the workouts change daily so you won't get bored of the same routine. It's very clean there and have yet to run into some of "those gym people" who are wearing makeup or cologne and want to be seen. Quick tip - if you want workout with fewer people or without a trainer on site, you can go during hours when they are not available. I usually workout between 1-3pm and it's a much quieter time.

Two and a half months later, I'm stronger, I can see real changes in my body, and I actually convinced my husband - who has never done personal training or group fitness in his life - to start training with him too. That says everything. Perseo is an exceptional teacher, not just a trainer. From day one, he made the whole thing approachable - breaking down form, explaining the reasoning behind each exercise, and tailoring everything to exactly where I was starting from. He caught early on that I was slightly favoring one leg during squats and corrected the imbalance quickly, which is the kind of detail that would have taken me years to notice on my own. He also goes above and beyond in ways that feel personal rather than transactional - extra time for stretching, genuine attention to how your body is responding session to session. If you've been nervous to start or feel like the gym isn't "for you," Perseo will change that.

If you want the obstacle course it's an additional $10 per person for 55 mins (super short). If you want to kayak, use the aqua bike or use the paddleboard it's an additional $10 per equipment/item. There is a kiddie area for small and young children. They DO NOT allow outside food or drinks except water! There is a small shop that sells misc. items, snacks & drinks (overpriced). They also had a foodtruck inside that was expensive and the meals didn't come with drinks. They do have plenty of staff and lifeguards there. The entrance fee should of been $15-20. The obstacle course atleast 90-120 mins instead of the 55 mins. Wish the foodtruck came with drinks and was a bigger portion.
