I took advantage of this gyms January Groupon to join their Boot Camp. I had never done anything like it before and, being an older, out of shape guy, I was really worried it would be too much for me. The first month was tough, but I survived -- and lost 7 pounds and gained 4 pounds of muscle in the process! That, combined with the awesome staff, that really make you feel like family, I decided to come back month after month. I continued to get stronger and and build endurance and feel better, yet the class always remained challenging. I always felt like I wanted to push myself (even at 5:30 am!) because of the encouragement I got from the instructors, yet I never felt like I HAD to do anything that made me feel unsafe or that hurt. Having had two lower back surgeries three years ago, I often needed to modify some of the exercises so as not to damage my back further and make it stronger. Since I started taking the class, my back has actually never felt better.
I can't recommend it highly enough. If it ever comes back on Groupon, jump on it! :)
