I love this place. I tore my meniscus a year ago and joined solely for the infrared sauna but realized I could do my own rehab and avoid surgery while still moving my body and getting a sweat without high impact. The workout is different …

I love this gym so much!! During a time that I was dealing with some physical troubles I found red effect. With the support of the awesome staff I was able to gain my confidence in going to a gym again. The infrared sauna was extremely beneficial in my healing. I had a torn tendon that healed during my time here. The fact that it is all women all shapes and sizes was amazing. I feel supported and happy to go in and have some me time. I’ve met some amazing friends here too. Hands down the best gym I’ve ever gone to and worth every penny!💕

Sorry, this is gonna be a long one. Red Effect gym for women is one of my favorite places to be and is my new home away from home. I saw it for the first time strolling around 5 points plaza coincidentally right as I was planning to start a weight loss program because I had gained so much weight during covid I didn’t love the way I looked anymore, I knew I needed a change, and I wanted to look and feel hot again. I had been searching all over Yelp for a new gym or exercise routine to combine with my program and wasn’t sure what I wanted to choose until I took a tour of this cool looking gym and it was practically a perfect fit. It was like everything I was looking for and more. And the fact that its womens only is a super bonus! I never knew how amazing a women only gym could be. It’s less busy, cleaner, and smells better than any other gym I’ve been in. I had never been so excited to start working out before. After seeing the pilates room, the nice bathrooms and showers, the beautifully designed individual saunas that allow you to select any color lighting setting and play your music on the speakers or watch tv, the red lighted circuit room with a good range of machines and equipment, the hr monitors, the hiit fire classes, the fridge full of fresh cold essential oil towels, and above all the wonderful trainers who will be there to coach you through any workout you need help with, it seemed like there was no other choice, I had found what I was looking for. And for the next 3 months while on my ketogenic program I came 5/7 days every week and put in the work. And in that time I met all of the friendly, inviting, and helpful staff members and was amazed at how every single person who worked there had a great vibe I could feel comfortable around. I fell in love with the after workout sauna recovery where I’d probably spend too much time in the sauna rooms jamming to my own music or having a calming meditative moment in a soothing color embracing me in a peaceful moment of serenity for the day. I also pushed my limits as my capabilities increased making sure I stayed consistent and got myself inside the gym even if I was drained and didn’t feel like going. The moment I’m inside with all my gym gear I’m going in that circuit room and doing something good for my body that day. By the end of those 3 months I had lost a total of 30 lbs. And the fact that the girls saw me from start to finish, saw where I started and all the work I put in, that they were able to congratulate me on my hard work and notice the changes in myself means everything. And even seeing them and how great their body and abs look Is great motivation to keep going too! I had a goal from the start and I’m not gonna stop until I really impress them and myself. Months later now and i no longer go everyday but I continue to do the hiit fire kickboxing classes every week as many times as I can. And i still see progress In my body just by keeping this as a part of my weekly routine. I love the hiit fire classes so much, it’s always challenging and adjustable to your level of intensity and the girls always have the best soundtracks for working out bumping on the speakers too. And once I tried a Pilates class for the first time ever I fell in love again and now I love Pilates and I try to take the Pilates class whenever I can and the music the Pilates instructor plays is wonderful too. I enjoy all the jams that I get to enjoy in my gym that’s a big plus for me that I know i can’t just find anywhere else. It’s also wonderful how they’re always trying new things and seeing what they can do to make things even better than before. Like the sound bath sessions they’re hoping to make a new addition to the gym and Sara’s Sunday stretch classes that are definitely needed. There’s just so much to enjoy at this gym and it only gets better and better with time. I’m really glad I chose to join when I did. I can’t see myself going to any other gym at this point, one of the best decisions I’ve made. This is an amazing gym to join, you won’t regret it.

This is the best gym out there!! There are so many things I love about this place. For starters, it is small, intimate and very inviting. The classes are intense, but so fun. Then there is the infrared sauna that you can use after a great workout. I always feel so relaxed after using the sauna. The staff is great and so very welcoming. However the best part, this gym is for Women ONLY! It is a safe space for women to achieve their fitness goals without the fear of being judged or feeling uncomfortable. LOVE THIS GYM!

Can I just say this place has 100% changed my quality of life... after my first free session - 45 minute of intense HITT with Jodie, followed by 40 minutes of sauna, I felt something dislodge from my chest!! The pain I had been suffering from the past 5 months; 80% gone!!! I had to join!!!A month in, I've been coming almost everyday! You get everything in one place here - the gym equipment, the infrared workout, pilates, yoga, HITT, cycling, even a heart monitor and your own gloves‼ The girls are ALL SO AWESOME and helpful!!!

Where do I begin . . . Red Effect has been such an amazing change in my life. I started out as a founding member before opening . I came by for a tour during construction and signed up before even trying it because it was such a unique concept . I’ve been in the fitness industry for a long time and I have never experienced anything quite like this place. First thing that made me fall in love was the all concepts circuit room. To be able to work out the full body with strength, cardio and kickboxing was a big plus for me! And then to be in a heated room under infrared lights I was like WHOA mind blown. I’m good a pushing myself without a coach so I was able to get through the circuit while feeling challenged . The circuit is for anyone at any stage of fitness. Taking it step by step for a beginner or going at it hardcore at a more advanced level. I loved the place so much I decided to teach classes there . I’m able to have full freedom as a trainer and create my own format . Being able to Express my creative side is huge for me. I started with HIIT FIRE classes that is kickboxing and circuit training mixed. Then HIIT FIRE INSANITY was born to challenge those that were ready to take it up a notch . My goal is to teach the women how to increase weights and increase strength while always pushing it to the limit and shocking the body. I can go on and on about everything I love, but long story short. . Do some HIIT FIRE classes 3x a week, so some low intensity 2x and week and recover in the sauna every day and you’ll be happy with how you feel 😁
