The classes are well-structured, there are great morning and evening options, and I love that the hybrid classes include dedicated stretching.

I have been coming to Liber8 for 7 or 8 years now (time flies when you're having fun!) and can not…read morerecommend it enough. The trainers & community are so welcoming & offer workouts for all levels of fitness. Whether you are just trying to be more active, or reach heavy lifting goals, they are here to support you all the way. I used to live within walking distance and have since moved away, but still make the drive every day because it is worth it. If you're contemplating trying this place out, do it! You won't be disappointed.

I first came across Renegade on ClassPass and was so impressed with the experience that I decided…read moreto become a member. This gym offers a wide variety of bootcamp like classes with fantastic energy and some truly talented coaches. While there are a few who are overly egotistical and could use a come back to earth reality check and a touch more humility, the majority of the coaching staff is excellent. Two standouts are Gabrielle Y. and Christian Q., who make working out an absolute pleasure. Gabrielle's welcoming demeanor and contagious positivity create a great atmosphere, and Christian's coaching style is equally motivating and supportive. The classes themselves are high-energy, challenging, and adaptable to different fitness levels. What I love most is that each coach brings their unique style and energy to the table. Once you find the coach who resonate with you, it's easy to stick with them and stay consistent. The variety keeps things interesting, and you'll never get bored while working toward your fitness goals. One of the challenges, however, is parking. Since Lazy Acres put up signs claiming what feels like half the lot, finding a spot can be a headache. I've learned not to arrive too early because spots typically free up only once the previous class ends. While it can be frustrating to circle the lot, a little patience and timing go a long way. It's something to keep in mind when planning your visits. The gym itself could benefit from more regular cleaning and maintenance. A deep cleaning is definitely overdue, as dust, hair, and even cobwebs can be seen in corners. Some benches are rusty and could use replacing. While these issues don't take away from the quality of the workouts, they do detract from the overall experience. Many other gyms in the area have weekly professional cleaning services, which could be a great addition here to help maintain a fresher, more polished environment. Despite these minor drawbacks, Renegade remains a fantastic place to work out. The membership is reasonably priced, although ClassPass is still more affordable and offers lower price penalties for late cancellations. Overall, the quality of the classes and the dedication of standout coaches like Gabrielle and Christian make this gym worth checking out. If you're looking for a challenging yet welcoming environment to achieve your fitness goals, Renegade is a solid choice--just plan ahead for parking and connect with the coaches whose energy aligns with yours!

The friends I've made are what push me to come as much as I do. The coaches are great too!

The only barrier I have with more of my friends coming is the cost, but it truly is an investment in myself and my health. Come check it out and tell them Alison sent you! ;)

I've taken group workout classes at different gyms, but nothing compares to the workout I get at F45 North Park. First off, this is their top ranked location in the US, and now I know why. This place buzzes with good energy and great workouts! The coaches here are the big difference. Coach Coop and Coach Kat are phenomenal! I thought I was going to pass out about 3 times in my first class, I loved it! It's only been three weeks and I am already seeing a massive physical difference. How it works is they have different stations set up, and you go from station to station with your pod. You do a quick warm up, the work out, and then a cool down. Coach Coop is as motivating as it gets. When he tells you to keep pushing you keep pushing! If you want to feel like Rocky Balboa is in your corner, lace them up and run it!

The split between the upstairs and downstairs areas can be inconvenient depending on the workout but it's mostly fine. I've been dropping in here for almost a year, and the front desk staff has always been friendly and helpful with me. My interaction with the owner today, however, left me feeling really put off. First, he gave me a hard time about the drop-in rate and was telling me about some personal trainers trying to sneak clients (I wasn't sure if he was suggesting I was trying to do that but it made me feel uncomfortable). Later, he asked me to not drop my bb on the lifting platform while deadlifting because it's too loud (I've always done that, that's what the lifting platform is for...). I couldn't help but to feel like I was being patronized because I am a woman. I've trained at many gyms over the years. This was the first time I've felt treated with so little regard as a client. I've liked this gym before but I won't be coming back again.

I joined North Park Fitness about a year ago after having a very bad experience at a different gym…read morein a different part of town. I took myself on a little gym tour, trying to find a good replacement and though all the options were so much better than my former gym, North Park Fitness really stood out to me! The person working there when I came in for a little tour was very kind, I never felt pressured to join, he answered all my questions, and then has continued to recognize me ever since. It just felt very personable! He also took the time to make sure the gym would meet my needs and even offered to ask him any time if I ever needed help using a machine I was unfamiliar with. I love how clean everything is, and I notice how on top of it they are at fixing anything broken. In the year I've gone here, my favorite machine has had a rip in the seat twice and both times it was fixed within a few days of me noticing it. I appreciate that they fix things even when it doesn't affect the mechanics of the machine! They also have a huge variety of equipment, more options than when I was at my former gym that was much bigger. The only complaints I have, in my opinion, are not easy to change with a small, local gym in North Park. North Park Fitness can't change the parking options, that's a North Park problem. It is a bit pricey, but again, that's a North Park problem. I also researched and found a couple other small gyms near the area that were much more expensive, so I appreciate not having to pay hundreds of dollars each month at North Park Fitness!

Her private studio in North Park is easily accessible with parking and wonderful natural lighting. You can tell from the moment you walk in the care she puts into cultivating her space to feel welcoming, tidy and safe. I was looking to build muscle and flexibility while recovering from multiple car accidents in 2023. At the end of that year my hip was dislocated and fractured which created a large imbalance within my body. Although surgery was in conversation I knew a more holistic route to healing after the accident was the path that was right for me. I've done Personal Training sessions and ARP Neuro Therapy with Neely for close to a year. The progress we've made is huge and I'm thankful for her consistent encouragement, mindfulness, adjustments and expertise. She personalizes our plan each month to build on what we've worked on, checks in weekly to see how I'm feeling and genuinely cares about my overall health. Neely is a true gem in the industry! Whether you're looking for help recovering from injury, dealing with health issues or are ready to build up with a personal trainer I can't recommend her enough.

It's small enough that you actually get the attention you need--coaches correct your form, help you modify exercises for physical issues, and really make sure you're doing things safely and effectively. They were also amazing with my daughter--so encouraging and supportive--and even my husband came to a class. It was such a great workout that he felt it for days. I love the early morning classes because I can get an intense workout done before work, which makes it so much easier to stay consistent. The classes are fast-moving, challenging, and before you know it, you're almost done with a truly kick-ass workout. Highly recommend.
