Urban Fitness isn't just another gym.

The people, the facility, the trainers, the workouts, the equipment - it's absolutely unbelievable. New workouts each time mean your never bored or in a routine. Having trainers give you direction every couple minutes means you don't have to "think" about what thing to do next. It leaves all your energy to focus on doing the one thing in front of you - go hard. I have been going to this gym for more than 18 months ~3 days a week and not ONCE have I experienced the same workout. Nothing is cookie cutter.
