Y'all this gym. So, I did the 30 day fat/weight loss challenge. I went 4 times a week for 4 weeks...and here are my thoughts.

Workouts. Amazing. Super tough and unlike anything I've ever tried before. I've done personal trainers, hot yoga, kickboxing, beachbody, sports all my life...this is the toughest workout I've had in a 40 min time period. The mix of weights, working up and down the wall, cardio, HIIT, and using general body weight is a really awesome challenge and builds muscle fast. I feel such a difference in my shoulders/arms and legs. It's all set to fun music to workout to, and it makes such a difference being in a class setting with a coach vs being at home. You definitely push yourself harder, and the coaches push you to try things you wouldn't necessarily try weight lifting wise. (Though they definitely give modifications if you have any injuries.) It doesn't matter your skill level because you can always go up or down intensity levels, but the idea is to push yourself as hard as you can for 40 min. Being in the class setting with fun music and hard moves that you don't get bored with or tired of are what makes it a fun and tough workout. Obviously, you go to a gym for the workout, and I give that an A+.

Cleanliness. Awesome! Any gym I've ever been to where you use any kind of mat is gross. It smells. You feel like you're at a gym and you want to wash your hands immediately. This one is SUPER clean. Students wipe down their entire station and then the staff cleans the whole gym afterwards. No smell and I don't feel gross after leaving. A+

Trainers. Amazing! I honestly thought every trainer was amazing. They obviously all practice the workouts themselves, so they knew which parts were hard and where to push. (Does that make sense? They were connected to the workouts so you feel like you're in good hands because they've done it themselves...) They knew great modifications for any moves you weren't sure about. Upbeat, fun, nice, friendly, hardworking, super in shape, welcoming, informative, funny......do you need more?? A+

Perks. They bring you cold (clean) towels to lay on your head after the workout. Like, what?! And they have a nice smell! lol What more could you want? A+

To wrap up, I would definitely recommend this gym. For my 30 day challenge, I went 4 times a week for 4 weeks and lost 5.5 inches and 6 pounds. I feel stronger and my pants fit better. An overall win!

Thanks Fitwall - Washpark. I appreciate all that y'all have...

I've been going to Fitwall for a couple of months now (started w/ the 30 day challenge) and I love it! Apologies for sounding like an infomercial, but I've tried a ton of workout classes and Fitwall has been my favorite.

1. The instructors are awesome - they take the time to explain each move, provide corrections to your form in a quick and helpful way, and their energy is quite motivating.
2. The workouts are different every day of the week and the moves are switched up every 3 weeks. It's a perfect blend of variability and consistency - you can get comfortable with new moves over the 3 week period, but you still work different muscle groups in new ways over the course of each workout.
3. I can't do this at home - I feel like I'm getting my money's worth because I truly cannot easily replicate the workouts at home or at a regular gym. (I've tried to do my best to mimic a typical Fitwall workout and I burn way less calories and am nowhere near as sore the next day. Also, I obviously do not have access to their wall/ladder thingy.)
4. It's full body! Even when a workout focuses on a particular muscle group, there are still moves that work other areas of your body. It also blends strength, cardio and mobility moves into each workout. It's an "easy" way to stay balanced. (By "easy" I mean that you don't have to painstakingly plan out your own workouts to make sure you hit everything.)
5. The 30 day challenge was very difficult... but also super rewarding. I felt stronger, had more energy and was also able to see my hard work pay off. I was able to get back to my pre-pandemic fitness level (perfect timing too, I wasn't looking forward to buying new jeans for the...

I cannot recommend this gym enough! I joined the 30-day fat-loss challenge that some of you may have seen on Facebook. Over the past month, I have established a new routine that allows me to prioritize my fitness goals and have created new food habits with the help of numerous online resources and the coaching team. Most importantly, I feel like I have made these changes in a safe and sustainable way. I have spent the past 10 years dealing with a back injury and have often found myself at a gym that unsafely pushes me to the point of reinjury, creating a cycle of injury, physical therapy/recovery, then having to build new habits again. At Fitwall, the coaches know that I have a back injury and check in with me to see how I’m doing. They provide modifications, both to make things easier and more challenging, so that everyone in the class is appropriately challenged. Additionally, they have classes offered at times that work for me - the 5:15am group is amazing! Classes are 40 minutes long, but I always leave feeling like I worked hard and am already seeing results. Plus, this community makes getting up before 5am something I look forward to, and that’s...
