PWR | Performance Wellness Recovery

I joined HIWB over the summer when I fell in love with their dedication to outdoor workouts, and making your experience the best possible even outside. When we transitioned indoor, the transition was seamless. Color coordinated cones, mask protocol, temp and questionnaire before entering, sanitizer for each person, and proper space for transitioning station to station. Britt and her staff are absolutely phenomenal, especially in a time of uncertainty. They make you feel safe, comfortable, and most of all provide the absolute best workout. Mental health, physical health, and emotional health are crucial right now and this is the place where you can build that safely. I am thankful I took the leap, and you will be too.

As a trainer at HIWB, I feel completely safe coming to work. There are protocols in place to keep all of our members safe. Everyone takes their temperatures at the door upon entering, each member carries around their own sanitizing spray to each station to sanitize after each use, each member has a personal towel to lay on/ use, members are stationed 6 feet apart from one another, hand sanitizer is placed through out the gym, equipment is sanitized after each class, and the floors are cleaned nightly. The COVID protocols here at the gym create a safe work out environment for all of its members.

This place is my home. I love the trainers, the atmosphere and the drive every single one of the trainers has. So amazed with how well everyone adapted to the policies in place and having to wear masks to workout. Since reopening the cleanliness and sanitizing has gone above and beyond, everything disinfected between people and classes and hand sanitizer at every station, temps taken upon entry, smaller class sizes but plenty of options to choose from. I literally cannot say enough good things about the number one place that has welcomed me with wide open arms since day 1, and continues to go above and beyond for our health and safety.

I joined HIWB about a month ago. I went from being totally sedentary to going 3-4x a week. I cannot say enough good things about HIWB and the staff.First, let's chat about the elephant in the room. The coaches are no joke with COVID protocols. You enter and have to have your temp taken. You are given a spray bottle with sanitizing solution, which you spray on everything as soon as you're done at that station; even if you're just sitting on the floor, you spray the floor you sat on. When you touch the equipment from the last person, you know it's clean because you can see and feel the sanitizing solution. If you're not complying or you forget your temp, they will come get you or remind you. We're also spaced out six feet apart and masked at all times. Because of this, HIWB makes me feel 10x safer than I do anywhere else — and that's coming from someone who has recovered from COVID.Second, the coaches are phenomenal. My first night, I could not stand up after a few reps of a minor leg exercise. Not only did my coaches help me get up, but both women dried my frustrated tears and got me back on the floor to finish my workout with some simple, effective moves. With the exceptional training comes a support system that I can't describe. These people have become like family to me in a month. I'm so honored to train here.If you're looking for a gym that is safe, cautious, gritty, challenging, motivating, inspirational and fun, check out HIWB. I guarantee you'll be hooked!

HIWB is my absolute happy place and I recommend this gym to everyone any chance I get. This is the ONLY place that has made me actually ENJOY and look forward to getting up at 4AM for their early AM classes. The atmosphere and energy created is one that you will not find anywhere else. The trainers push you to your limits and truly invest their time into seeing you progress both physically and mentally. The connections I've made here and the growth I've seen within myself has made HIWB much more than just a gym to me.HIWB's response to reopening during the pandemic made me feel extremely comfortable and at ease - the new protocols that include temperature checks, required masks, spaced out stations, and our own sanitizing spray after equipment use in addition to the deep cleaning that takes place in between classes make for an exceedingly safe environment to workout in. Their ability to adapt and make their clients safety a priority is one of the many reasons why I love them! Do yourself a favor and JOIN THIS GYM. Your health and happiness will thank you for it :)

I’ve been going to HIWB for almost four years and it’s the best gym in the Capital Region. HIWB offers smart, dynamic, fun workouts for all levels. The staff is super passionate and knowledgeable & treat you like family! During the pandemic I’ve opted for the virtual workouts & they are just as great! You won’t regret signing up for a class.

HIWB is more than a gym, it’s a commitment to excellence. They provide a comfortable, safe, and encouraging environment to build a better you. Everyone is temperature checked at the door, given sanitizer spray to clean equipment and your station. The sanitary protocols are super encouraging given the circumstances of the pandemic. Since joining, I’ve seen drastic improvements in not only my physical health, but my overall quality of life. All of the HIWB trainers are engaged and committed to helping you reach your goals. In these challenging times, it’s amazing to be a part of what is such a strong and friendly community. Your search for a better life starts at HIWB.

This gym is more than just a gym it is a second home to me! With everything going on it is nice to be able to go there and get a great workout in! They have gone above and beyond to make sure the facility is clean and that everyone is comfortable with everything going on due to covid. The trainers are amazing and push you to make sure your goals are met!

Since the first day I stepped foot in HIWB I was welcomed with open arms by the trainers and fellow hitters. All the trainers are very attentive and go out of their way to give encouragement to each hitter during class. Since coming back after being shut down from COVID I feel very safe being in a group setting, mainly due to the new socially distancing and cleaning protocols set in place by the staff. Everything is sprayed during class and after to ensure safety is a number one priority. I have had nothing but a positive experience and would recommend HIWB to everyone!

HIWB is like no other. As a trainer here, I know the expectations we hold for ourselves and our clients. We pride ourselves on the cleanliness of our facility, effective workouts, but most importantly the relationships we build. One workout and you’ll quickly see the community that has been built. Try it for yourself!! You won’t be disappointed!
