After reading all of the positive reviews Warrior Fitness has received and watching all the publicity on local and national television, I had to try this place out (I signed up for the three class introductory package for $60).
Simply put, I was highly disappointed... here are my three simple reasons as to why I felt this way:
1) glorified circuit training... although I think this is a great form of exercise and I understand it's helpful to receive motivation while training, the exercises performed are quite simple and well capable of being performed by oneself (i.e., running up stairs in an old NYC building, running around a track, pushups, sit-ups, along with an obstacle course)...
2) price... although an introductory package for three classes only costs $60, a three month membership skyrockets to around $1500... to me, that's a lot of money considering the style of exercises and the facilities that are used (i.e. a loft that is cooled by fans and the aforementioned rudimentary equipment)...
3) zero focus on exercise form/details... I know the class is setup in small groups (say, 10 per instructor) and that as a result, the instructor is capable of remembering your name... however, I was disappointed at how little attention there was to form in each individual performing his/her various exercises... to me this is important because if one is not using the right form, that person has the potential to injure him/herself, while that person also won't truly workout the intended muscles...
I think the founders have setup a fabulous business that must carry high margins, while the marketing techniques are ingenious - who doesn't want to become a ""warrior"" and supposedly train with Marines who understand Parris Island.
However, a true ""warrior"" is not only brave, but is also experienced in performing his/her homework on what he/she is signing-up and paying for.
