I recently returned to the gym after about a two year long hiatus. I joined bootcamp at 630am three times a week. Janine (the owner/instructor) always comes in with a smile and pleasant attitude. She is really upbeat and positive. For me, vibe and motivation is really important as I am not a big fan of working out. I also really like the fact that there is a lot of personal attention, despite the fact that it's a group class. The workouts really count because Janine is amazing at teaching proper form. I've been doing some exercises for years and just realized now that I've been doing them improperly. I sometimes feel sore in muscles I didn't know I had. I also take spinning classes about twice a week. Lisette is a great instructor because she pushes you to the limit, but at the same time knows exactly when to slow down the pace for a breather. She definitely knows how to strike the right balance with timing and intensity. I really enjoy the class. Overall the instructors and atmosphere are amazing. Pricing is also very reasonable and they offer packages for unlimited classes. Very importantly, the place is super clean. Nothing is ever sticky or dusty like I've seen before in other gyms. When I first started, I couldn't even do a push-up. Now I'm able to do 15. In all, I've lost about 12 lbs and gained a lot muscle since joining about 2 months ago. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking to...
Read moreAmazing staff, convenient location, great choice of classes, clean, cozy, never overcrowded, highly professional and inspiring trainers, courteous members - it really feels like a big family! I couldn't ask for anything else in a fitness studio. I'm also very excited about their new gym, just visited and it's so spacious, bright, modern, and welcoming.
It was quite difficult for me to get back into a fitness routine after a few years off, but they just have what it takes to get me there every time. In particular, I love how organized and well-paced the classes are, and the friendliness and enthusiasm of every instructor I've worked with (Lizette, Lisette, Julia, Delfina, and Anna Beth). Jessica also deserves special mention for being so helpful! They also take great attention to detail: pretty much everyone knew my name from the earliest days, and when I made a mistake with an online purchase, Janine fixed it for me immediately and followed up a week later to make sure all was well.
One time I wasn't sure I could fit a class in my schedule and my husband said: "You must absolutely make time for it - you're always so happy when you return from the gym!" He was right - Park Fitness has made a difference not only to my health, but also my sense of belonging to the neighborhood and my overall well-being. They...
Read morePark Fitness is EXACTLY what I have been looking for in my life! An intimate space, owned and operated by someone who lives in the community, that brings people together to meet their wellness goals. I started with Beginner Bootcamp as a way to get comfortable with the space and the workouts, and I would recommend it to anyone who is just starting to workout or getting back into it after a long time. Then, i graduated to the regular bootcamp and it is AMAZING! After only a couple of weeks I am so much stronger and have better stamina, I am getting closer to my weight loss goals, I am learning so much about working out with different equipment, and most importantly i am HAVING A BALL. Janine, the owner and person who runs Bootcamp, is down-to-earth, body positive, affirming, and makes getting up at 6am in the cold and dark to work out FUN. I know they have amazing classes like cycling and zumba and fit camp...once I am done with Bootcamp you can bet I will be a regular fixture in all of the classes! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend to anyone...
