This review is long overdue. I started my fitness journey 6 years ago and I've been in and out of…read morevarious gyms depending on where I live and where I work. I have to say out of all the gyms I've been to: FBBC, UFC, Planet Fitness, The Camp, and many other local family owned gyms, Concord fitness boot camp aka Fit Body Boot Camp concord has been the absolute best! I lost weight but the change was not just in appearance. I actually felt stronger and could notice the difference in my strength. My energy and endurance was like my teen days. The crazy part is appearance wise this gym has been the least impressive. But Virgil makes the small space functional and you really don't need much more than this. When I showed up for my first trial the location made me hesitant. Virgil's customer service was great and he made me feel welcomed. The other members were friendly and there were all ages and body types. I stayed and loved it. Everyone was extremely helpful and motivating. They all push you to finish your reps, to keep moving and not quit, and if you struggle they make you feel okay with modifying while teaching you ways to work on it until you can one day do what you're struggling with. It was hard but it seemed like within days my body learned how to handle doing sit ups and push ups. Another major part is nutrition. Virgil helped me with a shopping list and meal ideas. He is respectful but also doesn't sugar coat. With each weigh in he reminded me what I needed to do to stay on track. I also learned how to count calories. If I still lived in the area I would see about joining again. If I didn't give it 5 stars it is solely because of the cost. When I went it cost around by $300/month. Is it worth it? Yes. Is it affordable and feasible? No. I could not keep up going there as it was too much for my budget. Pictures for comparison of cheeks and chin when I first started in March to September

Came here for my first Bootcamp class via ClassPass. When I arrived, I wasn't sure if the place was…read moreactually open for business because it was boarded up on the windows. With reassurance from the owner (whose phone number was on Google), it was indeed open for business, I was excited to get moving for my Friday workout. I was introduced to the owner and other people who showed up for the class and I could tell they were regulars. The place looked pretty legit as you know I love legit gyms :-) I was asked to disinfect the bottom of my shoes as street shoes aren't allowed on the floor, since we laid on them for floor workouts. That made me feel better because I ain't tryna rest my head on a floor where people before me don't know where to walk sometimes and you don't know where they come from ahem, SF CITY STREETS!!! This was my first Bootcamp class in a long while so I was pretty thankful that Virgil (owner and trainer) allowed me to modify my workouts. It was a damn good sweat and I had great energy the rest of the day.

That's fine, nothing wrong with that so far. I went in for our scheduled appointment, he walked me thru the whole process. At the end, he tells me the price $600. I was shocked and said I would like to think about it. He IMMEDIATELY changed his demeanor toward me and was rude, condescending, and talked DOWN at me like I suddenly didn't deserve respect anymore bcus I wanted some time to consider. He was very unprofessional and threw a fit, he acted like a little child who didn't get his way. He ignored me as if I was no longer even in the room, only turning to speak to me to say demeaning things such as "I know you're going to go home and convince yourself you don't deserve the body you want, you don't deserve to meet your goals, you don't deserve to be happy" "you wont meet your goals and you'll be sorry." My self-esteem has nothing to do with the fact that I don't need to place that much monetarily value to meet my fitness goals. No disrespect to anyone who pays whatever amount of money in any way , just for me I do well in other programs as well, I came here just looking to vary it up. But what pisses me off is that this abusive, bullying tactic is very unhealthy to someone who might come here at a low place in their life and vulnerable! It's sickening! To act like an entitled brat who throws a fit, in BUSINESS. This is business, YOU chose to employ the business tactic of taking your time to walk a potential client thru a process before revealing your price that is fine, but don't act unprofessional and blame the client for YOUR choice in sales tactic. Had you told me the price upfront like I asked I would have kindly told you I need time to think about it from the beginning bcus I respect business people's time I will now be taking my money to another program

Back in 2013, I lost 40 pounds, strictly through cardio (running, elliptical, etc.) and making better food decisions. Where I was lacking was in the core strength department. This is what I really like about Fit 2 the Core -- I did semi-private training sessions that I felt were efficient, effective, tailored to my fitness level/ability and complimentary to my continued running routine. I mainly worked with Tim and Steve, who are both fantastic. Although I ultimately decided not to join, my experience was very positive. They have lots of class/training time options from early morning through evening, but still a challenge with my full-time work and grad school schedule. (I generally work out at 5:00 am before work and they don't have semi-private available that early.) I also have a gym membership, so I can't justify spending the additional money...at least at the present time. If you are serious about getting in shape and want to feel well taken care of, I highly recommend checking out Fit 2 the Core.

Then this is the place for you. A little over three months ago I walked into Transform FX for my first class. I was incredibly out of shape and was really seeking to get back into being physically active regularly for the first time in 6+ years. Coach Felicia was incredibly welcoming and supportive from day 1. I remember during my trial period I mentioned to her - I want to join but I'm concerned I won't be able to stick with it. She said "you're already showing up - you've been showing up all week"... that gave me the confidence to join a 6 week challenge which totally changed my life. For the first time in over a decade I consistently workout 4-6 times per week. The community, coaching, positive energy and overall vibes are what keep me coming back. This is now a habit. I am 40 years old and I am mentally and physically stronger than I was 10 years ago. To say this place has changed my life is an understatement. I am so thankful for the entire TFX community. I have found my happy place!

I had signed up with the gym for 6 months but I quickly fell off the wagon and ended up gaining it all back plus some. My head was not in the right space. I made lots of excuses as to why I shouldn't or "couldn't" go. As my 40th birthday approached a year later I decided to do it again. This time losing a little over 17lbs and I had a shift in my headspace. I was ready for the commitment to myself and I signed up for another 6 months at the gym. I had to find what worked for me. The first challenge I was going to the gym after work which was horrible. It's hot, i'm already tired.. So this time around I switched to mornings! Class started at 5:45am (5:00am now!!) I get my workout done and I am a happy camper. The workouts are great! They really push you but there are modifications given if you need them. Also, time flies in the gym. These workouts are fast paced and get your heart racing. It's a good combo of cardio and weights. The coaches are great, Ale' , Felicia, Gaby and Ashley- they have formed a great supportive community where I am making new friendships and feel like I belong. I used to hate going to the gym.. now I look forward to it!

Will keep booking as long as it is with her!

The gym is located inside a plaza so parking is not a problem. This gym offers a wide range of classes and a fully stocked weight room. The gym also has separate saunas for men and women. There is a smoothie and snacks cafe inside. The classes they offer include Hot Pilates, Reformer Pilates, various forms of Yoga, CS4 (boot camp), Boxing, Cycling, and Rebound. I've taken all their classes with several coaches, and I now have my favorite coaches. Ilze, Morgan, Alex, and Lo are top-tier for hot pilates and yoga; Alex and Adriana shine in cycling, Amy's unmatched in Reformer, Morgan and Lauren excel in CS4, and Sebastian brings it for Rebound and boxing. Overall, I am delighted with this gym, and I see myself staying for the long run. It has everything I need, and the instructors are top-tier.

My motto: "Being in shape requires one thing: hard work. And working hard requires no talent" About 4 weeks ago I attended my first class. I was feeling nervous. I had heard crossfit is a hardcore fitness challenge. I walked in with butterflies in my stomach not knowing what to expect. I was first greeted by Meg which runs the gym and who also is a certified crossfit trainer & a has a black belt in Kempo Karate. I still did not know what to expect, and was feeling intimidated by the "WOD" aka work out of the day. I had never done a overhead, power push, jerk before. (scared) Once the class was instructed what we had to do, I was guided by Meg on body mechanics and BAM!! I fell into the swing of it. From my first day experience, it has me coming back four times a week. Everybody is very friendly and welcoming. I remember someone telling me "we all been in your place before", and it only gets better =) Everyday is a new work out so never a dull moment. ***Shouts out to Meg, Alex, Jonathan, Vanessa, and Manolo they all have the drive to provide direction, supervision, encourage, dedication, and motivation enabling you to work safely at your full potential.
