Sweat Equity Fitness

New name is Vibez by Sweat. Sweat Equity was the name of this gym when I joined. Although, I really loved this gym when I got hurt and had to take a break, management Jess and Jan attitudes changed. When I came back, Jess was great at first when it was time to take my money but then disregarded me afterwards (very passive aggressive behavior). She wouldnt answer my texts unless she was sending me something to join a challenge. Now you have a trainer working out with you in the classes but they are not helping with the workout moves which could be very complicated for a beginner. One day, when I came to a class I was asked by the trainer Jan not to stand next to him while training because I am distracting. Now keep in mind, Im standing next to him so I can observe to ensure Im doing the right moves correctly and not get hurt. So after that I started working out at home with their classes because what was the point. Now the reason I stayed is because the workout is fire, the music is fire and the members in the gym were awesome!!!However, when I joined my first challenge with the team I was excited. Now Im super competive so when we didnt win after my transformation challenge I start asking for pics of the winners. I guess that attitude was taken in a negative way and the owner Jess kicked me out the challenge, the gym and all chats. Now keep in mind, I just brought my equipment to workout at home. Also, they have agrued at beach bootcamps in front of members but when I call them out on a challenge, Im kicked out!!! I really thought I found a gym family but without communication I was booted out!!!

I was trying to refrain from this review but I feel compelled to inform others of my encounter. I joined SE at the end of October in 2018. I was looking for a change in my routine when it came to workouts and I also wanted to lose my unwanted 30 lbs. Well the moment I met Jes Teller who is one of the owners I knew this place was going to work for me. I signed up for a "Challenge" to myself to do this. I started the following Monday and within the 6 week challenge I lost nearly 20 lbs. I was a bit short of my goal but I wasn't about to quit. I continued on and my whole body started to transform in a way I never saw before. I was eating right and working on my full body of muscles. I was very pleased and was very committed to keeping it up. So nearly 1.5 years into SE fitness I was truly committed to and enjoying the vibe of the community that it is. The pandemic came and I stayed committed throughout with the virtual workouts but missed the connection of going to the facility. I paid my weekly amount without hesitation and never taking a break from my membership fees. Fast forward to my recent experience with the partner owner Jan Teller. Once reopening I started to go back to the live workouts at the facility and trying to be diligent with all the new rules set forth by the county and the facility. Jan was opening and we all dealt with the strict rules. Unfortunately Jan who in the past was not always Mr. Congeniality but many of us just dealt with his brash personality. He would at times bust chops and many people would comment and deal with it. Even employees left do to the way he can be. The total antithesis of his daughter Jes. I showed up for a workout and arrived at 6:30 am as that's the starting time. The rule was to show up at 15 minutes prior as it usually took that amount of time for all to enter 1 by 1 (I drove on average 15 minutes each way to get there and back) and wait your turn for Jan to open the door for the next person to enter. Knowing it was starting time and no one else was outside waiting I opened the door to get inside. Jan came to the door with a bad attitude and starting harassing me about opening the door. I was taken that he was busting my chops on entry about waiting for him and then he proceeded to harass me about showing up on time. Where in a business is it right to chastise people on a regular basis and expect them to tolerate that behavior? I had enough of his BS from the prior workouts and nearly 2 years of attending SE. He would give me and others a hard time about where our sweat dropped or just doing a move wrong. He needs to understand that these are customers and you must earn them and not expect them to be your attitude punching bag. At the point of me taking enough of his bad attitude I went off on him and point blank asked him if he wanted me to leave as I will cancel my membership, he then said yes. I was very disappointed that Jes didn't even have the courtesy to show any compassion for me her customer. I always had a really good connection with her and that's why I tolerated her father for as long as I did. He needs to understand how to treat a customer better then he does!!!

Motivating and encouraging community. Excellent workouts. Fire music! Nutrition and accountability available. The challenges are so much fun and they leave you wanting more! I’ve been hooked since I joined in the summer of 2019. I listened to direction for nutrition, I showed up for workouts and I got results! SWEAT FOR LIFE!!!

I started with the 6-week which I finish tomorrow and I gotta say, I'm hooked. I've always had trouble sticking to a program and eating well but this process has been an amazing experience. The accountability makes all the difference. The classes are intense, but you go out at your own pace so it works for all fitness levels, which was a big plus for me the beginning because, let's just say it had been a WHILE since I had done a real workout regimen. It's truly amazing how far I've come from that first day, losing 37 lbs in these 6 weeks and fired up to keep it going! The trainers, Zac, my accountability coach for the challenge, Nelly, Chris, Cassie, and co-owners Jess and Jan, have all been a huge part my success, helping with encouragement and guidance whenever it was needed. They're all truly committed to helping you reach your fitness goals whatever your starting point.

I joined this gym in January.... well it's way more than a gym. It's not just you against the world. You join a group of people who all have had their first day at a rigorous workout and EVERYONE is there to keep you going. The trainers are amazing, Zach, Nellie, Cassie keep you moving! Jess & Jan are the co owners and really involved, working out daily with groups , making sure you don't hurt yourself! Don't think about it, just give em a try! I have never felt so good!

All it took was one challenging yet extremely rewarding class and I was hooked. After my free week I signed up and I've been falling for my new fit fam ever since!!! This is a truly incredible gym with warm, professional trainers who understand the mechanics of movement and effective exercises. The space is clean with modern amenities, top of the line equipment and interactive apps to track your progress, plus a great group of other clients train here. Everyone is so supportive and the results speak for themselves. If you're in the area, you should absolutely check them out!!!

Yes fitness center is awesome! Every time I come here I do not feel judged at all. The coach is certainly encourage me to use the correct form. The workouts are very intensive and I definitely feel it the next day. I do not feel guilty when I have some occasional cookies here and there. Very happy with this gym and will recommend to others.

I came in for their 6 week challenge. After going through the workouts and meeting the amazing staff and trainers I decided to join. Best decision that I have made thus far this year. The trainers are always present and willing to help you with any questions that you might have about your workout or the meal plan. They are patient kind and understanding however do you know that their main objective is to get you fit. I am going to recommend Sweat Equity to my friends and family and even the strangers I meet on the street. Keep up the great work!

Love this gym, I was never able to stay committed to working out, but sweat equity makes me want to show up and put my all in. The staff help you through each work out and help you reach your goals. I've come so far in so little time and see such crazy results ! I highly recommend everyone to at least try it and I can almost guarantee you'll love it !

Best.workout.ever. I've been to numerous gyms, fitness classes, and crossfit classes. Nothing even compares. The trainers are motivational and genuinely care about the clients seeing results. The gym is kept super clean . The workouts never get boring, they are actually fun yet challenging. I find myself actually enjoying the workout rather than focusing on the time and waiting for it to end. Jess, Cassie, Lisa, and Jan.....thank you for being so amazing !!!
