The best gym ever!!! I first joined back in 2016 in Brooklyn, NY!! I’ve been to the gym in Rochester, NY, all throughout MD, Dover, DE, and all throughout, SC!! The staff and members are super friendly and encouraging!! They help you to reach you fitness goals. When life happens, they have a no hassle pause or cancellation of the membership. They are all about member retention.

This is easily the best gym/fitness center I’ve used. Coaches are friendly & helpful while still driving you to perform at higher levels. Cost is significant, but worth it to me.

This place is my happy place. The music, the coaches, the staff and the environment is energetic! I either get my day started or end it here. Cannot go wrong either way. I like that the coaches and staff remembers your name or atleast try to😊 …

The workouts were great and effective but it felt like the business model was to nickel and dime members. Miss a class…10 dollars, special “DJ” class…10 dollars, need to take a month off due to work or family constraints…15$. This was on top of a high subscription fee. It’s in the contract when you sign up, but there are other gyms in the area that offer a similar style without a fee at every turn. The other side of that is a large part of marketing for the business is member social media interaction and the business has the coaches ask you to be in promotional social media posts after you’ve just spent the last hour sweating. They look to optimize fitness, but are truly looking to optimize profits and sacrificing member experience in the process.

Emily is gem. All of the coaches are fantastic but I have to say, Elisse is exceptionally fantastic. If you’re a new comer, I would recommend her class for an intro. She is high energy and very encouraging. Trevor is excellent too; he always has a great playlist if you’re looking for a pump up. If you take the time to engage with other people, I’ve found most all members are quite friendly.

Before I started coming here, I hadn't worked out in about 4 years. I was so intimidated. My bf and I did a trial class with Aaron and it was amazing. It wasn't scary at all, everyone is super nice and encouraging. With the plan we signed up for, we can sign up for as many classes as we want and with their app it's super easy. I love being able to track my progress as well.

I love all the girls & guys (Emily & her crew) that greet us each day! They always have a big smile and a warm hello!The coaches (Aaron, Ellisse, and Gerard) are very encouraging, helpful, and protective of us all! They are quick to correct our form on the weight floor so we don’t get injured! I appreciate that! Love them all!
