It is the “Cheers” of the 21st century – just replace the beer with exercise. It is where everybody knows your name and you just like to hangout while drenched in sweat. It has the laidback, friendly, upbeat atmosphere but not in a Richards Simmons kind of way. Don’t expect uptight trainers in matching uniforms…if you want that find another studio. If you are looking for a trainer that is in great shape but is not all about bean sprouts and tofu then you have come to my kind of place. I am not perfect and nor are these trainers – but they are sticklers for form and push you so that you see results (10 pounds lost in a month, more toned muscle than I have had in my life, energy that I thought was lost to my 20’s, and new found confidence to boot). Let me be real, I would have never in my wildest imagination would even consider participating in a 5k race, now I can’t wait! The flexible scheduling and very reasonable cost opens the door for anyone who has said they don’t have time and/or the money to work with a personal trainer (heck, I work full time and go to grad school which means I have no time or money). I actually look forward to heading to the studio. Yes, Darren enjoys torturing us, but I find myself laughing more when I am working out than when I am watching a Ben Stiller movie. But don’t take my word for it, check it out for yourself!
