IN THE WORDS OF ERIC BUTTERMAN; EXPERIENCE LIFE MAG. SEPT 2011. ‘FINDING THE RIGHT PT CAN TRANSFORM YOUR HEALTH AND FITNESS EFFORTS. BUT THE REAL MAGIC HAPPENS WHEN YOU LEARN HOW TO WORK AS A TEAM. THE DECISION TO HIRE A PERSONAL TRAINER IS AN EMPOWERING ONE. PUTTING A DEDICATED FITNESS EXPERT IN YOUR CORNER CAN NET YOU INVALUABLE EXPERTISE AND SUPPORT FOR DEVISING A SMART WORKOUT STRATEGY, OVERCOMING EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL ROADBLOCKS, AND GETTING THE REAL RESULTS YOU’RE AFTER.’

In my own words, it was very humbling. Admitting I am out of shape and I am incapable of working out on my own to any great benefit was a challenge. I took the plunge and headed out interviewing several PT’s around the area. I had the great fortune of meeting Keshia Henderson. Bubbly, high spirited, and very inquisitive. Keshia, from the minute we met, just wanted know what I wanted to get out of the training. She listened to my whiney remarks about past injuries, schedules, etc. She acknowledged them all and then said, “I can help you, if want the help.” OOOH. I was going to have to make a commitment? She looked me in the eyes when she said it and I replied with a resounding, “Let’s get it done. I might only have 60 days”. My injury and schedule are real by the way. 10 hours days, 7 days a week, ruptured C6. Keshia told me if I would commit to a schedule she would make it work. We agreed. After an in-depth assessment of my physical condition and I am sure, my mental condition, Keshia put together a workout program that would achieve a very dramatic result in a very short period of time. She addressed workouts, cool downs, stretching, nutrition and what to do on days off. I was well pleased. Keshia knows physical training and people. She is strong and intense but not overwhelming. Always positive and upbeat and encouraging. She really encouraged me to work harder. She would not let me quit. She might let me rest but if I had 20 reps to do and I did 19 and stopped. I had one more to do and she just waited until I could get the last one done. Keshia knows her craft very well and knows people. I think those are great combinations in this industry. Although my schedule got the best of me and cut my time short with PT, because of Keshia, I have the motivation to continue the pursuit of my goal. In just the 2 weeks that we have been working together, I am amazed at the results. She took great care not get me hurt and still achieved results. I highly recommend this physical trainer, Keshia Henderson. She knows how to work as a team. She works with you, not at you. Thank you...

Six months ago I found myself in a fitness rut and unmotivated to workout. LA Fitness became boring and mundane so I decided I needed a change!

I love that MCB is this "hybrid functional training gym" where I can work on my own program OR with a group of members on the WOD displayed on the board. You can't find another box/gym like this anywhere! Their concept is revolutionary!

The first person that really stuck out to me was the manager Tasha! Her vibrant energy and welcoming Hospitality made working-out a pleasure and not a chore🤗. Then I quickly realized I was surrounded by a bunch of "Tasha(s)"! So many members are willing to show you some love❤ when you come through the door by high-fiving🖐you or giving you a compliment. They are the first ones to tell you to get off your a$$ and get to work when you're lounging on the couch in the corner😂. We all talk to each other and work as a group to compete when doing the WODs. And if you're new to Olympic lifting it's ok...so many members willingly and happily will give you tips on form and stay on you.

So needless to say, I fell in love with the atmosphere. I can do the same workout at LA Fitness and not feel the same results and have the same amount of sweat soak my shirt...I don't know what it is but I just work harder when I'm here.

I HIGHLY recommend MCB! It's so much more than just a "gym". MCB is a place where I come to hang out with friends and get fit. MCB is a place where I can network and buy my dream bed because I learned a member owns her own furniture store (TRUE STORY)🤗! It's amazing the thought of how many people we pass-by that could add value to our lives, or we could add value to their lives, but we never get the opportunity because we just passed by! You never know how a WOD or a group event with strangers can maximize your life if...

My son bought a membership here online thinking it was for the Buford location. He found out the following day it had been bought out so he called to cancel. That was over 10 days ago and he still has not received his refund. Tasha the manager refuses to help saying she’s done her part. She tells us to call the bank they use to find out where the refund is? Horrible service! Taking money from a kid and refusing to see the refund through! Shameful! Tasha needs a lesson in guest relations. If you did your part Tasha he would have his money back. We’ve been more than patient almost 2 weeks.

Update after 24 days a refund was issued of $60! My son paid $110! Where is the rest of his money? He joined online and canceled the following day not even 24hours later and never stepped foot in the gym! Why would you keep the extra $50??? Terrible...
