During my visits, I experience good active customer service; employees are kind and attempt to be…read morehelpful (when available); passive customer service (clean towel availability, cleaning supplies on the floor as well as in the bathroom) seems to be improving more recently (particularly on Sunday, which, in my experience, tends to be the day most in need of active attention to passive customer service). The gym has plenty of equipment. In my experience, there are rare moments when sharing of equipment or waiting for equipment happens. The price of the gym is really good, particularly if seeking an international gym (a gym with international locations). There is not an Anytime Fitness in every country. Yet, after being able to access one on vacation about Tokyo, I think if one has an international itinerary involving a/ location(s) near an Anytime Fitness, the membership price is really good (even considering each location may different in offerings). Plus, the ability to access the gym on one's own, especially with the hours, is really nice. Even so, I prefer the physical key card than the digital card via cellphone. Members get about a 10% discount at Smoothie Kings. There is a common-public locker area where about 54 of the lockers are smaller and bring your own lock (BYOL). There are about 20-ish larger mini-lockers (non-BYOL) [each does not always have a key]. There is a bathroom for individuals that may be seeking bars with a seat in the shower. The other shower bath room has no seat though bars. Two bathrooms do not have showers. Automatic sprayers (air fresheners) in the bathrooms tend to be overhead near the doors. As a person that really puts in improving good effort to care for my overall well-being, I prefer not having chemicals (in this instance, from air fresheners) in my vicinity. There are non-toxic space fresheners.

T-minus 45 days to wedding time, and concerns regarding the fit of my suit began to linger…read more(ironically, around the same time I was dragging my spoon across the bottom of the ice cream pint container). My fiancé and I, in our last-ditch efforts to turbocharge our workout routine, decided to check out a "Hollywood" class at F45, taking advantage of their introductory class offering. Within the first 10 minutes of class, we shared collective feelings like: "What the $&@! did we get ourselves into?!"... and, "My body doesn't move that way!"... etc., etc. But after attending a few classes a week for the last few weeks, I will 100% say that this class kicks your butt in the best way possible. Physically, I'm starting to see and feel a difference. Its forcing me to be a bit more conscious about my eating habits too (there's only so much stuff you want jiggling inside your stomach at 6am!). Instructors Shauna, JoJo and Daniel are great people and awesome coaches. The workouts are high-intensity and demanding at times, but man -- do they work you out. Using the app for scheduling is easy enough, and they just started a new checking system that makes it more integrated and streamlined. Add in some great tunes and high fives during class, and I wasn't expecting to like this place so much.

Being open for over three decades, I was confident that this was not a fly by night place, and was something I could look forward to participating in for a long time. The classes have been 12-15 students at a time, with sufficient instructors (as well as Sifu Al himself) to focus on practicioners of varying levels for a more personal level of training.

I've trained in several martial arts and under several instructors, but with Sifu Al Bender I have…read morestayed around the longest and have learned and achieved the most. The top reasons to choose Al Bender's Academy for instruction in traditional martial arts would be, mainly: (1) authentic and effective instruction in any or all of four styles of Chinese martial arts, Northern Shaolin, Taiji (Yang Family Style), Xingyi, and Bagua, with emphasis on the first two; (2) instruction is conducted in English language, so you won't need to be fluent in Mandarin Chinese to learn; (3) his personable, humorous style (watch out for some killer puns, haha!) helps keep a low student turnaround, a camaraderie with and among his students, and a high number of his students who have been inspired to work long and hard enough to earn black-sash promotions; (4) his teaching strategy offers a balance of both form and proper technique and application for practical self defense. Disclaimer: I've trained under Sifu Al for 13 years, during which I attained 2nd degree black sash. My experience as his student inspired me to write the following lyrical adaptation of Paul Simon's You Can Call Me Al: You're walking down the street You're feeling soft in the middle now Why are you soft in the middle Keeping fitness in your life is so hard You need a Shaolin opportunity You want a shot at full split Don't want to end up on a carton In the trunk of a stolen car Phone Sifu, phone Sifu!
