YDM is open 24 hours, it has 1, 3, 6 and 12 month membership options so you're not locked in for a year with no other options. It's not a large place but it has the equipment I need to get to my goals. It's a gym set up for personal training, that is probably 75% of the business they do there if I had to guess. If a trainer is what you're looking for I would totally recommend you to stop in and talk the owner Tom. If you're looking to be on your own and you just want a gym this is not a bad choice but its not as glamorous as a chain gym. It all comes down to the amenities you are looking for in a gym. Good luck.

Gates Mills Fitness has a bit of everything for anyone. Sounds to good to be true right? Well it…read moredoes have it all. I've trained at most of the gyms in NE Ohio once or twice, belonged to a few of the chains over the years as well, did the personal training thing here and there. Never found a fit. Back at the chain gym life was as expected, wanted to get drops a few pounds so I went to the gym, wanted to learn about nutrition so sent to a nutritionist from my doctors office. I was reading articles, following this persons ideas that persons ideas, nothing worked, mind you I'm 40 something, that's the upper end of 40 something as well. So I've had plenty of time to try new gyms, diets and fads. That nomadic journey even brought me into the Gates Mills Fitness when it first opened. I found a small, friendly, clean place to work out with the help of professional staff. Some cardio, some lifting, workout ever changing. The gym was small but it worked well, it was personal training that was affordable and comfortable. So as usual after a time I moved on to another fitness ad that I thought would finally be the trick to fitness, weight loss and an ever changing work out to look forward to. First stop at Gates Mills Fitness was just exercise. Anyway, to make a long story short I got an email (about a year after leaving the gym in hopes of some miracle elsewhere) advertising the Takedown Challenge offered by Gates Mills Fitness in cooperation with a kinda diet program, I use the term loosely, after years of starvation diets, yoyo diets and fads this is not a diet its a lifestyle and it works. Sounds like a gimmick huh? Well I'm not selling here, I'm Yelping so let the choice be yours as to where your journey takes you. Keep in mind this is not one of those programs that says eat boiled chicken breast and salad without dressing for two weeks, or boiled cabbage, yes boiled cabbage like that's a diet anyone wants, or the frozen meals that are ten times more expensive than the ones in the grocery store. This is real food, with real flavor, and even carbs. But this system works and its common sense when you think about it. So the email brought me back to Gates Mills Fitness and kept me focused. I was never hungry on the program, I had plenty of energy to workout. The program, information and plan certainly took some getting use to but once you are there its easy. I never knew it could be so easy. Easy it is, its all there in print right in front of you, GMF even provided me the binder to stay organized through my challenge. So diet, check. So lets fast forward to the almost a year of my return to Gates Mills Fitness, gym still clean, staff grew bit, still small compared to the chains but boy what a difference a year makes. I've lost fat, gained muscle, eat better, feel better and can move better. Ever have indigestion, if not wait it comes with age as do a few too many extra pounds, so I venture to the doctor and he says take this pill and check back in a month. Also had to visit the chiropractor before GMF, I think we all know how that goes, go once and they want to see you forever. Well I found out first hand stretching a bit before and after a workout can change the way your back feels too. No more lower back pain. Between the Takedown Challenge lifestyle eating program and the always changing exercise programs indigestion gone, those extra pounds gone, muscle tone up, inches off my legs, midsection, I can see the dimples I thought I lost in the aging process, wasn't the aging process, it was the fat. So you might think I only eat kale, spinach and chicken breast right seven days a week right and spend three hours a day in the gym right? No, I eat a bit of everything on the Challenge plan. I look forward going to the gym, I enjoy the workouts (remember I said ever changing), the menus and recipes offered. One interesting note is food tastes better, yes this program renewed my taste buds too. I know this all sounds like a 3AM infomercial but as someone whose been on too many diets, trained at too many gyms I can tell you stop looking, what you need is at GMF. Gates Mills Fitness has the exercise, the diet and the massage therapist all under one roof. It's affordable, flexible, friendly, not intimidating, and accessible. If you're one of those people in search of the right program I can tell you this is it. I'm not the only one either there a long list of clients in the same situation that have gotten healthy. I did not rush, I did not suffer, I just followed the advice staff at GMF. It worked, I feel better, look better (another story too long for here but trust me people will see the difference in you), and I have GMF to thank. So if you are thinking about a new gym this is the one to try, forget the big guys, forget going to three or four different places to get a healthier you, GMF put it all together for you. Finally a gym ad that worked check, check & check.

I knew nothing about the facility or what to expect; a friend had posted the clinic information on Facebook and I thought it would be something worth while to try out. Boy am I glad I did! The owner Jason reached out and answered all of my questions in regards to signing up for the class in an extremely timely manner, and offered to provide additional assistance in case I had any problems. I didn't have any problems, it was a smooth process signing up and paying for the class and I received a quick confirmation and a reminder the day before. They are extremely organized and informative when it comes to "newbies". Upon entering the gym I was immediately greeted and was directed on what to do to sign in and prep for the clinic I signed up for. To be acknowledged that fast in a room full of ladies coming in for the class is quite impressive. I immediately felt welcome (considering my own feeling of intimidation because I was in a MMA gym). Jason was there checking people in and providing proper paperwork to fill out for the clinic and the other staff members were present to provide assistance if needed. Everyone was super welcoming and kind and I quickly became comfortable in the setting I was in. As mentioned earlier, I signed up for the Womens Awareness & Self Defense Clinic. End result? I was not disappointed! I cant even begin to describe how well the clinic was presented. A former Seattle Police Department patrolman/detective, and current owner of Hope Athletic Training Institute, partook to discuss the concept of situational awareness. He provided a ton on information and shared real-life examples. His portion of the clinic really opened my eyes to knowing the importance of always being aware and decisive if ever needed. The second part of the clinic was live hand to hand self defense instruction taught by the owner of Krav Maga Cleveland. Of course he also stressed the importance of situational awareness first and if ever needed, he taught through example, ways in which to respond if a physical attack occurs. Jason (owner of GriffonRawl) also participated in the clinic and chimed in key points as they were being discussed. He evaluated the hand to hand defense as it was being practiced and focused on proper technique and stressing quality over quantity. He shared "key points" that would be handy to know if ever in a physical situation and stressed the importance of making yourself aware by watching some self defense videos on youtube etc. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable and went above and beyond what I ever expected. In conclusion, if I had to rate GriffonRawl on a 0-5 star scale, I'd say 10! I truly enjoyed myself that night and was wowed by the level of professionalism from the owner and staff and cleanliness and set up of the gym. Jason, you have great things going on a GriffonRawl. Bravo! Looking forward to the next one!!!
