I cannot speak highly enough of this gym and my personal training coach, Angeli. The community atmosphere at the gym made coming to classes fun. I laughed all the time while I was there. Coaches are knowledgeable and approachable, always willing to help modify exercises based on individual needs or correct form. There is a strong safety-focused culture and significant emphasis on doing movements with correct form and at appropriate weight to prevent injury. Coach Angeli went above and beyond as a personal trainer. She worked with my various injuries while staying focused on my goals. She would provide my wife and I with different workouts when we were dealing with different injuries/medical needs. She also sent us training plans for how to prep for long hikes and for a 5k and we could text her questions anytime. She made working out fun and we looked forward to seeing her every week. She is also a wonderful teacher and explained movements in a way that was easy to understand. If you are a couple who is looking to get fit together, or an individual who wants to focus on healthy movement, this is the gym for you. It is a queer friendly, body positive, and highly encouraging environment that will make you feel ready to tackle new challenges. The price was definitely worth every penny and this gym is one of the things I will miss most...
Read moreAs a hardcore gym addict, I didn’t understand the importance of mobility. I just figured my soreness, aches, and pains were normal. It wasn’t until earlier this year that I hurt my shoulder and couldn’t figure out what to do to rehab it. One of my friends had been seeing Coach Ry for one of her injuries, and spoke about how quickly she had achieved comfort and an increased range of motion. After that, I started seeing Coach Ry on a weekly basis. Her original assessment of me was spot on, and she took the time to explain her program and the expectations on my end. Now, I see her every week for treatments, which depends on her assessment of me and where I am most sore. My homework consists of daily stretches/foam rolling/lacrosse ball work, which she customize to the individual and modifies as your mobility/pain improve. She is so attentive, engaged, and actually cares about her clients. She checks in with me to see how my program is going, and if there is anything else she can do. I am consistently blown away by her dedication and investment. Both my husband and mom see her now, and we couldn’t be happier! Thanks, Coach Ry, for taking our fitness to...
Read moreI have been coming here for a couple months now and this is the most special community fitness space I have ever been in. Before this, I had never been to a gym that is truly welcoming to different body types, gender expressions, ages, orientations, fitness levels, and physical abilities. Even on days when I don't feel like working out, I find myself showing up to class because I look forward to seeing the people who coach and train here. The coaches are skillful, personable, kind, and encouraging. Luckily for me, they also don't mind if you complain a bit during a workout:) The people who come here to workout are just as kind and encouraging. There is also usually a friendly dog in the space which I find so helpful as a comforting distraction. I honestly feel so lucky to be able to come here every week. I would recommend this gym to anyone but especially those who have felt unsure in a fitness space before - it is different here in...
