The group classes are always small enough to build a good relationship with your trainers and the NGU50 are the most balanced yet challenging bootcamp style workouts you can get in the area The trainers (particularly my guy Lamar) are fantastic and passionate about giving you your money's worth and through the pandemic they've been very accommodating with remote classes and safety procedures. Ali if you are reading this thank you for all the positive change you have brought to my life!

When I was a teenager my first gym membership was LA Fitness. For the sake of nostalgia I decided…read moreto give LA Fitness another try and via a 3 day trial pass I visited this location. Many things have changed for the worse since my last visit as a kid--for the worse. ENVIRONMENT When walking into the establishment I'll admit the customer service was pleasant and nothing immediately stood out. When I walked into the mens locker room I was greeted with a repulsive funk that I don't have the capacity to describe. Besides the smell, I immediately noticed there was a guard present in the locker room. I have never encountered a gym that required a need for a security guard. Despite these warning signs, I proceeded in my attempt to make the most of the experience. Moving to the training floor,I noticed that was a considerable amount of equipment which is always a plus! However, after getting up close with the treadmill and various other machines I noticed the weight machines were either missing labels, filthy or non-functioning(see images). In conclusion, there are a plethora of other gyms that are cheaper or similarly priced that have far better upkeep of the equipment. Variety will never trump quality and this gym is a perfect semblance of an establishment that needs a bit of tlc(tender+love+care).

But the place Is dirty and there is no one there in charge and it's a free for all as if there is no pandemic and no rules at all. I don't know about you but exercising in a small place with no ventilation and people huffing and puffing their germy air when we are in a pandemic does not seem good for health and fitness to me.

Some of our classes are just a few people and the personalized instruction is something you can't get at most gyms without paying for personal training (now that's expensive). We were crossfit newbies and Jim went over the basis with us so we would be ready for class. Our first few weeks were tough and it continues to be but in just a short amount of time we can both feel the difference in our energy, stamina, and strength. Meg is an amazing coach and knows just how to push you to be your best. She cares about your success and health. When my bf hurt his back she ran to buy him a heat pack in the middle of class and sat by him for the rest of it. I can't say enough positive things about this box and am so happy we made the decision to start!

It's 45 minutes of High Intensity Interval Training and I always feel good about completing the workout when finished. The coaches are super friendly and are present during the workout to make sure that your form is good and to be available if you need any assistance. I did join F45 after the stay at home order was lifted and they do an amazing job making sure all members are socially distanced from each other. All members are required to wear masks when in the building space working out. It is extremely clean in the facility and I appreciate that especially during these times. They also offer different types of add ins like body scans which will give you in depth detail regarding your body metrics. They also have challenges that you can join where they put you on teams to help push your workout/health goals. F45 has been an amazing experience so far. I would suggest calling to book a class!

She just goes and goes, but what's best about Phyllis is that she is a real person--she's a mom, she cooks for her family every day, she has injuries just like the rest of us. She keeps it realistic but kicks your butt at the same time. Two things about her classes and sessions that keep me coming back are that she really focuses on form and that she is open to making accommodations for injuries with no judgment. Oh, and I can barely walk the next day!! If I'm going to get my butt kicked, I want it to be KICKED! And she does that, always with tons of energy and a smile. Honestly, can't say enough good things. She has helped me focus on staying fit and HEALTHY--a real lifestyle change. Before I started working out with her I was barely exercising and eating like crap. Now I'm exercising on my own almost every single day just because I want to. Phyllis rocks!!

Her classes are HARD but they are WORTH IT in the end. If you have the desire and dedication you can make a change for the better and Phyllis will be your partner along the way. If you are looking to get in shape, please give Phyllis' class a chance. I never thought I would be able to physically do the things I am able to do now. It took me many months to get here but I honestly amaze myself when I do a set of pushups, or jump rope for 2 minutes without getting winded. My appearance, self confidence and overall health have improved with Phyllis' help. I have never felt this physically strong. Give Phyllis a try and I guarantee you won't regret it!!!!

Derrick is exactly what I was looking for - and believe me, I exhausted Google! He's not at all…read morelike the stereotypical trainer that I think most of us try to avoid. I've been training with him for almost a year, and it's been better than I'd possibly imagined. Derrick is methodical, cerebral, and motivating, and his space is private, well-equipped and comfortable. Most importantly, working out with him is a real partnership. I bring my goals, concerns, and limitations; Derrick brings his knowledge, research, tools, and the right balance of motivation and realistic steps. During the session, we're not just counting reps. Instead, we're talking about form, anatomy, balance, flexibility, diet, rest, stress, and all of the other factors that contribute to overall success. After nearly a year, some days are [pleasantly] familiar, but *every* day is different enough that I could never get bored. The constant is that I always leave knowing that I'm progressing - and learning. I strongly recommend Derrick to you if you want the type of results that you see in the commercials, but you need an individualized program with a down-to-earth and well-rounded professional. He has helped me overcome major and minor hurdles, to not only reach, but exceed my goals. Everywhere I go, people ask what I've been doing, and it feels great!

He is without a doubt the best personal trainer I have used. Not only does he dedicated himself to making sure you are getting the best workout possible what I like about him is he a family man and truly cares. We are both business men and he is always encouraging on both a physically and mental level. He understands your head needs to be in game before you body does. I highly recommend anyone looking to give Derrick a chance and I promise you wont be sorry. Keep up the good work!
