I walked into PowHERHouse fitness completely hesitant. I had no idea what to expect. I wasn't sure…read moreif my body was capable of the workouts that would be offered, if I would fit in with the women that were in attendance, or if I even had the motivation to stick with it. Two years ago I signed a three month contract. I wanted to just "test the waters". In the last two years my body has proven to be capable and powerful. The women I have walked shoulder to shoulder with, have been the greatest support through physical achievements and mental battles. The motivation is something that came naturally. I look forward to beating personal records, to being a cheerleader for the women who are breaking through barriers, and to having a minute away from the chaos of life. One thing I can say about this program: you get out of it, what you put into it. Kelly, the gym owner, has proven to be a professional in her field, and with time a personal cheerleader. She takes time to understand each clients limits, and always has a way of helping us overcome them. I'm on my third contract now. Hopefully when I have to sign again next year, she has a lifetime option. If you are ready to make a commitment, push yourself to do the hard things, and get out of your comfort zone to connect with a diverse group of strong women.. this is the place for you.

I joined the gym and attended 2 trial sessions and a paid contracted session…read more After experiencing some unexpected adverse effects due to past injuries and trauma, my doctor advised me that I needed a different type of fitness environment. The owner would have known about my preexisting conditions if there had been any onboarding. In my experience, getting a new client's baseline fitness level, diet, current goals, and injury history is the minimum expectation when paying a premium price for semi-private coaching. While absolutely no information about me or my history was obtained, she did make sure that I signed her contract--twice. A fact she immediately pointed out upon notification of ending my membership early. I honored my contract and paid the full contractual buyout of $1,000+ despite being only one class into my contract and having to leave at the instruction of my doctor. Although gym members were actively encouraged to speak and communicate directly with the owner before posting anything less than a five-star review about the gym, there was no similar invitation for a conversation with me about my gym experience, health, circumstances, or decision to leave. A communication that could have been mutually beneficial. The cancellation process was cold, impersonal, transactional, and at times even downright curt and accusatory. Ending the working relationship was stressful not supportive. Within moments of paying my $1,000+ balance and receiving confirmation that it had been paid, I requested that my saved checking account and credit card information be removed from the Members app because I was unable to remove them from my end. I never receive a response to that request, and my payment information was not removed. This gym advertises itself as a supportive all female community. I have been in supportive all-female environments my entire life: All girls boarding school, all women's college, employment at a different women's college, multiple female coaches training me for three triathlons, and volunteering in Guatemala and Africa for years supporting and promoting girls' education. I know and understand the supportive female environment. This gym experience was not at all in line with my decades of previous experiences. And the irony is that if she had been kind, understanding or supportive in any way with me, she would have gotten that five star review she covets and actively lobbies her clients for. Instead, she made it all about money. Now not only does she now have a negative review, but if she loses even one prospective client because of my post, she financially will have lost twice as much as she gained with my 50% buyout. She took what could have been a win-win learning situation for everyone and made it a loss for both parties. Short-sighted and a little sneak peek into her true character. An observation worth noting (I may as well get my money's worth at this point! ) of the 3 classes I attended, none were operating at capacity. Out of 6 slots, one class had only 1 other client, who was leaving. One had 2 people, including the person leaving, and the last had 3 clients, including the one leaving and someone doing a make-up session from an early class. I also know other classes and one-on-one slots are operating at less than capacity as well. There could be a myriad of reasons for that, but it is an interesting discrepancy. It's hard to reconcile a gym that has been in business for five years that provides a genuinely supportive women's environment, great results, perfect five star reviews, operating in a wealthy area, but is operating far below capacity. It makes me question retention, or those who try it out and don't join. Or maybe there are more people out there who had a similar experiences as me.

I LOVE her customized meal plans-- the recipes are delicious and it's such a luxury having a trainer tell me what to eat to help me reach my goals! I had been going to the gym and dieting for five months before I started training with Natali. I wasn't seeing the results I wanted and was feeling so frustrated and lost. But after just a few weeks of working with Natali, I finally started seeing the results I've been working so hard for! Natali is fun, funny, and super supportive. Regardless of your fitness or diet goals, Natali will meet you exactly where you are and help you on your journey to get where you want to be. I can't recommend Natali enough!!!

This is their third studio, and the momentum is real. The brand is strong, the energy is contagious, and every detail feels dialed in--from the community vibe to their clean, bold logo. You walk in and immediately feel like you're somewhere that gets it. Owner and head coach Natalie is, hands down, my vote for one of the best coaches in Tucson. Her programming is smart, challenging, and effective--and her booty & legs class is elite. It's one of those workouts that sneaks up on you in the best way and delivers real results. The staff across the board deserves major praise. Every single person is welcoming, friendly, and genuinely happy to be there. No egos, no cold front-desk energy--just good people creating a great atmosphere. Everyone is a vibe. A few things to note for planning purposes: * Membership-based studio (not on ClassPass) * Drop-ins available for $20 * No showers on-site That said, they absolutely get it right with the bathroom amenities--clean, well-stocked, and thoughtfully done, which says a lot. Bottom line: this is a great workout, a strong community, and a brand that's clearly here to stay. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we see even more FIT CULTR locations popping up around Tucson soon.

Mallory is very off putting and I do not like that she made me feel like I wasn't welcome as I am. I will be joining club Pilates down the way and encourage anyone older or less flexible to try a different place. Real Pilates is not focused on hiit or going as "hard," as possible. You can come as you are other places and fall in love with the original reason for Pilates which was to rehabilitate soldiers with injuries.
