Gymnazo has amazing coaches that have the talent to create workouts that press you and keep you injury free! Best gym I have experienced. You will instantly feel like family here! Give it a try! They have great specials so you can get to know them! I have been working for5 years with the coaches here and feel the best ever! Their 3D movement analysis opens the door for classes and semi-private sessions based on your needs and what you love to do! See you there!

Jack did an exceptional job explaining the warm up—what muscles we were stretching & why. Same with the equipment. He paid close attention to everyone in the class to be available for questions and to be sure movements were correct. A++

I was really pleased with my workout format and the coaching from Jonathan. I can always count on a well planned workout and excellent coaching. I like that the coaches are all engaged and try to modify the workouts when needed for specific areas with issues.

Gymnazo for golf! I’m an avid golfer and was referred to Gymnazo for help with flexibility and strength training focused on the golf swing. I’ve been working with Kaleena and Jonathan over the past several months and feel the difference. Highly recommend their program.

Gymnazo is by far the best fitness experience I have ever had. I got tired of the usual free weights followed by a very testosterone driven atmosphere. Gymnazo is lead by professionals who learn your name, make alterations to workouts based on limitations, and possess a genuine desire for people to live healthier active lives. The atmosphere is very supportive and in many ways like a family. There is ample space to workout and the workouts are always changing. Another key features is the fact that the facility is clean and has some very fun and beneficial equipment such as the true stretch machines. I have lost and kept off 40 lbs working out here and havent felt this good since I was in high school (20 years ago!). I would highly recommend Gymnazo to almost any age and ability. Its a great investment in your health and wellness.

While researching for a gym last year I had an idea of what I wanted. I was new to the area and I didnt want any old traditional gym. I wanted something that would keep me accountable, consistent, engaged, and push me outside of my comfort zone. Gymnazo did that and more. This gym is a community of amazing people of all ages and all athletic abilities. There is absolutely no judgment here. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and inspiring. You will quickly realize that Gymnazo is like your cup of coffee; you can’t start your day without it!

This is my favorite place to be! My instinct is to rattle on and on about how amazing Gymnazo is but really you just need to try it. If you are aiming for overall health and well being this is your place. If you have pain that wont go away, they will help you get rid of it for good. If you want to walk into a gym with smiling happy people where everyone knows your name then go right now! Its the best community, with the most knowledgeable coaches who are genuinely invested in your health and success.

Gymnazo is such a non-gym experience and maybe that is why I love it! The facility is clean and the people that are there are happy to be there! The coaches and Michael are watching out for us and how we are working out to make sure we get a good and safe workout experience. Ive been going 6 months now and still love going to class and more importantly I feel so great and am moving so much better!

Gymnazo is a great place to get fit. The full body work out that you get at each class is challenging and the coaches offer options to make it MORE challenging or to meet your specific needs or desires. Gymnazo fosters a community spirit with a lot of support from the coaches and other members. The workouts are fun! I always look forward to exercising. I have been working out at Gymnazo for almost 5 years and have never been disappointed.

The program is well organized and everyone that I have spoken to at Gymnazo knows what they are doing, knows what they are talking about and genuinely cares about helping me reach my goals safely and efficiently.The energy at Gymnazo is always positive and upbeat.Michael is excellent at creating and designing my exercise program. I am only several sessions in and have felt my bodys mobility and stability increase. Michael has the knowledge and experience to find the weakness in my movement patterns and retrain them which will increase my strength and stability in my overall movement while I continue to play a sport that is very demanding of my mind and body.Michael is a true professional and I look forward to my next session!

My first experience at Gymnazo was awesome! Coach Kyle was great! He broke down the movements and demonstrated them in a way that was easy to follow. He was encouraging and helpful during the class. Gymnazo has an excellent facility and their workouts are challenging but functional in nature. Great for all levels of fitness.

My first two try before you buy sessions last year were really fantastic. I knew Gymnazo was a high quality facility, but I didnt really have much of an idea of what to expect my first time (except the obvious bits: exercise in a group setting with a trainer). I was totally operating on my wifes descriptions of her experiences. Walking in the door that first time, I felt immediately welcomed by the staff, not only with their smiles, positivity, and enthusiasm, but also by the fact that they knew my name before I even had the chance to introduce myself. That, quite honestly, blew me away. And the first session? It was fantastic. To be honest though, I wasnt sure its what I really wanted to do (over, or even as a supplement to my personal workout routine). But I decided I would definitely do the second session. My experience was exactly the same. After both sessions, I walked out feeling I had been given a great experience: a workout totally appropriate to my level of fitness (challenging but not overly so), the coaches consistently motivated, encouraged, and praised the work every participant was doing, and they never stopped paying attention to each persons posture, technique, and form. Both sessions ended up being something I had never experienced before, at any workout facility, anywhere. Gymnazo is truly a one-of-a-kind facility, operated by the most professional, well-informed, positive folks Ive come across in the exercise industry. Yes, exercise professionals often present as positive and enthusiastic and passionate. And yes, they want to you to exercise well and reap the benefits. But the coaches and staff at Gymnazo are a totally different caliber of exercise professional. Their interest and passion for the health and well-being of clients, their obvious attention to everything (from the big picture to the little details), and their commitment to professional development through continuing education, makes them truly stand out. And then theres the way they create community. Its a truly special place.For all those reasons, I decided to join. Sure, I love the fact that I can schedule a workout type and level that fits in with how Im feeling on a given day, show up, be greeted by name, and be given clear and continued instruction, guidance, encouragement on each exercise. But what I really love is the fact that all that is accompanied by the qualities of the staff I noted earlier. They clearly want and know how to help me reach my fitness goals. You leave after each workout in so many ways better than when you walked in. I can tell that that will never change. Gymnazo is worth your time and effort.

I cant say enough great things about Gymnazo! The workouts are challenging (both physically and mentally) and constantly changing so I never get bored. The coaches are incredibly supportive and they try to cater workouts to members, whether it be tweaking exercises up or down, or changing an exercise to accommodate an injury. Gymnazo truly gives you the tools and the support to reach your fitness goals and provides a sense of community where everyone feels like family--I couldnt imagine my life without this amazing place!

As an adult I have always hated working out. Going to the gym has always been a boring chore and because of that I have been unsuccessful in making regular exercise apart of my lifestyle. After having our child I was finally ready to get my body back and I knew going to a regular gym, running, or yoga wasnt going to work. I first experienced Gymnazo when they were located within our local traditional gym several years back. I remembered how much fun I had working out and I knew their approach to exercise would be my only hope for a lifestyle change. So far it has been a great experience. Signing up for a class beforehand holds me accountable and the workouts are challenging and fun. The group of coaches are friendly and knowledgeable. The facility is clean and well thought out. Gymanzo is for everyone and every level. Highly recommended!

Its only been a few weeks, but I already feel like I am a part of the Gymnazo family. Each workout is full of motivated people who support each other, and the coaches get to know who you are as a person as well as what works best for your ability level. It makes keeping yourself accountable for going that much easier because it is enjoyable. Already looking forward to my next workout!

I was inspired to join Gymnazo because I saw the wonderful physical transformation of a friend of mine who was ex-Ironman and she said its put her into best condition of her life. After many months of working towards my personal fitness goals at Gymnazo, I, too, was in the best condition of my life (at age 44 after being an athlete all my life). The people are amazing. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. The workouts are designed to kick your butt and help you improve, but youve got to have the mindset, too. Im a big fan of their work and have recommended them to several friends looking for better conditioning vs traditional gym workouts.

My training at Gymnazo has been outstanding. Each 6am session I attend, I am joined by a familiar community of fellow early risers who work their butts off while encouraging each other to reach for our best for that day. The instructors are talented and really know their craft. They know us. They understand our little challenges and find ways for us to move beyond them.All and all I cant say enough about the place!!!!! Join!!!!

Every aspect of my experience at Gymnazo was exceptional. The personal training was second to none. The physical therapist was brilliant. Anyone who wants to achieve the most from themselves and have a good time doing it in a supportive environment needs to come here.

I am beginning a journey to get myself back in shape. I am 60 and as I approach retirement I want to be strong, agile, and have the stamina to go enjoy an active lifestyle. Gymnazo is helping me achieve that goal, one class at a time. There instructors are very much like a life coach. The encourage you, support you, and help you works towards your goals in a fun, clean, and friendly environment. I highly recommend them!

I’ve been working out consistently for years and have never felt as strong as I have since starting at Gymnazo. The coaches are truly concerned with my progress and often alter exercises so that I work harder. They know what each individual person is capable of and push us all to that point. That level of customization and investment is rare and essential to true progress. Thanks especially to Mitch and Kaleena for always making me work harder!

Cant say enough great things about Gymnazo. Ive never been a gym person and havent been into workout out really since high school. Gymnazo has totally changed that for me! I look forward to coming to class and always get an amazing workout. I have had a few past injuries and the coaches always check in to see how Im doing and what might be hurting and they can modify any of the workouts. Everyone is seriously so nice and Im just so glad I found this place!!!

This gym is incredible! After trying and spending so much money on chiropractic and physical therapy to cure an 8 month injury, a friend recommended me to try Gymnazo. One personal training session with Michael was able to improve my pain right away and provided me tips to strengthen my body back to health, while being able to workout! This gym has been my healing place for both my body and soul. Not only are the workouts fun and engaging, but the staff genuinely cares about you and wants to know you, and that is priceless.

Gymnazo has changed my life! After joining almost 2 years ago, I saw a difference in my body, my overall strength and flexibility and I was a faster runner. The coaches care and concern for their members is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Professional, encouraging and educated instructors make a huge difference. Gymnazo is not a gym, it’s a healthy lifestyle change and a choice you won’t regret.

I have only positive things to say about this amazing group of trainers!!! So much good energy and positive reinforcement with everyone who works here. I came here after a very bad ankle break a year ago and every coach has been so patient with me. They alter exercises Im not comfortable with, and are constantly asking me for feedback on how I am doing and feeling. Gymnazo made a bigger difference in my recovery than the physical therapist I went to did. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to improve their strength, balance, mobility and confidence : ) Thank you!!

The coaches, programming, and atmosphere are all top notch. If youre tired of the globo-gym type setting, come try Gymnazo. They have a very friendly atmosphere and challenging workouts for any level of fitness. Each coach is dedicated to the members needs, and focus on safe, effective workouts, even if you have an injury. Highly recommend giving it a try!

Gymnazo is a great place to add quality, functional training to help keep fit and stay injury free. My overall fitness, health and running all improved over the last fews years. I first started Gymnazo three years ago when I was suffering from an overuse sports injury. Not only did my injury get better over the first year, I noticed I was a lot stronger and performed better in swimming and running. I had planned on stopping Gymnazo after my injury healed, but it was so clear to me that the functional training Gymnazo provided was critical in staying fit and injury free. Now I make Gymnazo part of my training plan 3x a week and would not miss it. Great coaches. Huge facility. Quality equipment. Extra attention given when needed. Great people and fun.

What do I love about Gymnazo? Customized workouts when Im sore or injured that allow me to still have a great and SAFE workout. External motivation to DO THE THING. Happy, friendly, inspiring faces. A state-of-the-art facility. A skilled staff that creates workouts based on safe, natural motions that make me feel stronger after my workouts.

I love every coach at Gymnazo. They all are so encouraging and know how to push you to give everything you have during your workout. The workouts are hard but not impossible. I like that Im sore after every class but not too sore. Its so much fun and theres always something different so you never get bored. I love every time Im there.

Gymnazo is unlike any other gym Ive ever attended. The small group trainings provide an encouraging, challenging and competitive environment. What makes Gymnazo unique is the authentic and impactful relationships you form with other members and the coaches. Each person at Gymnazo is there to help you succeed in achieving your health and fitness goals. The consistency of education and care between each coach is flawless. They are able to adjust a workout instantly for your needs, whether it be rehabilitation or an extra push. I highly recommend Gymnazo for their ever-changing workouts, relatable members and reliable coaches. At the end of the day, Gymanzo becomes your fitness and health community and family.

2018-05-23 22:54:05

Gymnazo is a very different type of gym, at least for me. Working with a leader is extremely helpful in balancing the exercises and being mindful not to hurt yourself, or to help get back in the groove if you have been away for whatever reason. There is a very large set of exercises and stretching that can be done with simple equipment that can be used at home. The exercises make me aware of the relationships of muscle groups Im not normally aware of, and there is a lot of variety. Ive only worked with Michael, but Im sure this holds true for all of the leaders: the mantra is to just keep trying, there is no negative judgement of how out of shape you were before joining, only positivity. I really like all the people involved with Gymnazo and can tell that other clients feel the same. Its a great business.

Its not like any other Work out experience. Its the CHEERS of gyms. The coaches are all really helpful and friendly. I never dread going to GYMNAZO, and I always leave feeling happy Ive been. Besides the workouts that are designed to help you function well in everyday life, they have fun member social events. Love love love my gym.

If you want a gym where they know your name, fitness goals, and injuries or hang ups preventing you from getting you there- then Gymnazo is the place for you. Trainers are hand selected by the owner and are motivating, positive, kind, and 100% fully present each and every day. The new facility at the airport is top notch and the great program is only getting better with the expansion. Whether you are strong and fast but want to be better, slow and weak but want to push yourself to your greatest potential, or just looking for a great workout with personal attention- Gymanzo has a place for you.

I wish I could give Gymnazo more than 5 stars! Amazing and incredibly knowledgeable coaches, and a welcoming non-judgmental environment. There are people of all ages and skill levels. After about 7 months here, I am much more knowledgeable about training, confident in my abilities, and I always feel great after my workouts and throughout the week!

I attended a workshop focused on creating complete, efficient, and thorough workouts while traveling and having minimal equipment at a hotel gym or in a hotel room. Jonathan was full of knowledge and valuable tips. Much of it was planned, but many times he had insightful tangents and additional insights based on his wealth of understanding and experience. It was fun, collaborative, informative, and worth the cost of money and time. The goal was to leave with more ideas in our pockets to take with us on travels for a quick and effective workout; mission accomplished!

I felt very welcome and supported from day one. Every staff member made it a point to introduce themselves and make me feel included. No matter what your skill level is, the trainers will modify the exercises to cater to your own individual abilities. Workouts are motivating and challenging, yet fun.

Five stars for Gymnazo! Michael Hughes brings enthusiasm, energy, and innovation to every workout session. The facility is clean, efficient, and well-run. I have experienced progress and improvement in my personal (equestrian) goals since the first meeting. Im excited to add Gymnazo into my regular training routine!

Michael and his entire team are not only top notch in customer service, but they are extremely knowledgeable in the science of human dynamic movement, athletic enhancement, injury recovery, nutrition, and overall wellness. Their approach to human vitality is comprehensive, and they are constantly working to not only improve their processes but also to make those processes as enjoyable as possible. I look forward to being a Gymnazo member for the rest of my life, and plan to have an amazing life as a result!

My friend Shannon brought me to my first gymnazo class and I have been enjoying them ever since. The staff is friendly, helpful and they will challenge you. They provide a personal touch and memorize everyone’s name, which I am impressed with every time. Thank you, Gymnazo for helping me ease into my new gym routine.

I have tried a few gyms in SLO (Cal Poly Rec Center, Kennedy Club Fitness, and Crossfit Inferno), and, by far, I have been the most pleased with and impressed by Gymnazo. Their workouts are challenging but also very doable. They work with a wide range of ages, and the trainers are very knowledgeable. I continue to be impressed with how welcoming everyone is there (both staff and the members). I am SO glad that I found Gymnazo.

I have to take the time to rave about Gymnazo. The personalization, the quality, the consistency, the environment, the PEOPLE, the communication, the full service support and more are what keep me coming back. Everything about my experience at Gymnazo makes me feel great about what im doing - trying to be healthier! While its more expensive than most gyms in the area, i feel its a tremendous value and worth every penny. You get out every bit of what you put into it and I see myself as a long term (family) member! Thank you!!

I was looking for a gym that offered small group strength training classes. I have had a few injuries from running and carrying my toddler around. Gymnazo is perfect. I went to Michaels class and he was very informative. They were all very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. Great work out as well.

Working out is a pain, literally and figuratively. Working out at Gymnazo with its great facilities, coaches, staff, and members is not a pain. I greatly appreciate the attention to detail and genuine curiosity the coaching staff has about my well being and in offering advice on how to, not just be active, or move better, but to be better.

I came in for a workout with Michael while in town for the weekend. The workout was challenging and the coaching was attentive. The facilities at Gymnazo are top notch. Michael had us moving in a variety of ways that was a good change from my normal routine. I highly recommend giving Gymnazo a try.

Gymnazo is the best gym Ive ever been to. Before discovering them I hated the gym. I would go for an hour or two and feel as though I wasted my time. But with Gymnnazo the workout is always different and challenging. In just a short amount of time I feel better than Ive felt in years. The coaches are amazing; theyre knowledgeable, fun and encouraging. Gymanzo will be my gym for may years to come.

CJ seems to be able to solve any problem! Focused on form and function, he nails the workout for each and every person. I like how he demonstrates every move, so you can see what good form looks like. Thank you for being you!!! And all of the other coaches are really committed and amazing too!

Gymnazo is unlike any other gym I have been to. Despite it being in a large warehouse space, it is welcoming when you enter. Everything is set up for you and its a nice change of pace to show up and have all the exercises sorted and just jump right into it. The small intimate class sizes are great- you feel like a little family struggling together- everyone knows everyone and more importantly their worlds friendliest trainers take the time to know you by name the moment you join. They also ensure they take into account any injuries you have-- switching an exercise up in the blink of an eye to cater to your need. More outstanding is their movement philosophy that I think all trainers should instill- fascial release and muscle movement to, in a way, reprogram your muscles to avoid being dormant slabs and increasing your range of motion. Everyone is so darn nice and even on your first day- people know who you are. Its not the all-you-can do gym with swimming and racket ball courts, etc, but its smaller groups of directed exercises (that are never the same) and trainer feedback that can help educate you on the best ways to move and cross-train outside of the gym. Plus they have two free weeks at the beginning of January so you can try all the classes to see if its for you. I would never have chosen to go to Gymnazo without that option, and I am jazzed I have found a non-traditional gym in SLO. Its been a really cool way to also see a wide cross-section of folk I would not have met otherwise!

Everyone is very positive, friendly, and knowledgable. I like the small group classes. The workouts are challenging and fun. What I like most of all is the greeting by name as I arrive and leave. I definitely recommend Gymnazo to anyone looking to make a positive change.

First and foremost, excellent workouts with extremely knowledgeable coaches. The workouts never get stagnant as they are always changing. Secondly, the staff is excellent. The right amount of accountability never feeling pressured. And finally, the gym and it’s high end equipment is always clean. Best gym in SLO.

OMGoodnessssss, where do I start? First off, Michael Hughes an AMAZING trainer, motivator, leader, and overall business professional. I was extremely apprehensive to start working out again and the thought of a gym-like atmosphere totally made me tremble. However, Im a professional acquaintance of his wife Paden, whos equally AMAZING, she encouraged me to get healthy and look into Gymnazo. I did and Im so grateful. This does not feel like a Gym but a high quality, private, personal neighborhood training center w/elite trainers all at my fingertips. The equipment and overall design of the studio is top notch! I highly recommend Michael & his staff.

Everything! Where do I even start?!? Gymnazo is my second home (and a lot cleaner than my own, I do have to admit, hahaha 😅😉). All the coaches and fellow athletes keep me focused and motivated to keep pushing myself (safely and effectively). I cannot share my story and your program enough; believe me, Ill talk about you guys to anyone that would listen (and even those who dont 😜)!Thank you so much for your knowledge, guidance and support. Im so glad Michael presented back at Evolve V (now known as Ignite) at MINDBODY when I was in the enrolled in the program. His genuine passion and character in his presentation spoke volumes above the rest and immediately had me hooked. I tremendously appreciate each and every opportunity to work out and learn from him, as well as all the other coaches, respectfully.You guys rock! 🤘⚡

I did the MDMC course and Michael gifted me this virtual workout so I can see how you do things. The workout was great, I felt my whole body got moving in every possible dimension! And, the staff and coach were so welcoming; its really obvious you have a great team and community. I really enjoyed myself and will tell my friends about you!

Gymnazo has completely changed my idea of health, fitness, and well being. I have always been active and a self motivated person. I was a soccer player and a cardio junkie. I had ZERO experience in strength training. It was easy for me to go for a run or play soccer. I tried Gymnazo in October 2008 and was hooked the first time I tried it. I am a very busy mom of 3 young daughters and my husband and I each own our own businesses. Our time is limited and we want to be intentional about the time we have and maximize our time. Gymnazo allows us to get an incredible, functional workout with knowledgable, passionate coaches in a perfect coaching session of 1 hour. I know when I walk through those doors I am using my time wisely and getting a workout that you really cant put a price on. I should also mention in the course of almost 5 years of Gymnazo I have had two ACL replacement surgeries and a meniscus repair. On the same knee. This was due to two injuries; July 2009 and then again in January 2012, both playing soccer. Honestly, had I not had the strength training and coaching from Michael Hughes I do not know where I would be today. The fact that I can run, exercise, hike, and surf without pain is amazing. Although I have given up soccer; I feel I get the team sport feeling with Gymnazo. Gymnazos members are welcoming, kind, and encouraging. We always have fun, push ourselves, and keep coming back for more. I invite you to give Gymnazo a try. It might be just what you need to find joy in your life!

First of all, I never take the time to write reviews, but GYMNAZO deserves one. If you are bored of the same old workouts and need some consistent and personal motivation, this place is for you! The energy and encouragement goes beyond the coaches as everyone is there to keepeach other going! You leave GYMNAZO with a smile on your face knowing you got an awesome workout and made a new friend along the way. This is the best kept secret in SLO!

Michael and Payden Hughes are at the forefront of a fitness revolution. Gymnazo is a place where athletes, fitness enthusiasts and weekend warriors can come together and train while at the same time minimize the likelihood of injury and maximize their knowledge and skills around proper body movements. I had the pleasure of going through an initial evaluation and private session to learn more about my body and what it is and isnt capable of. I learned a ton and was thoroughly impressed. I would recommend Gymnazo to my patients who are just recovering from an injury, wondering where to go next, AND to my high level athletes who want to maximize their performance.Sandy Sachs, D.C,Chiropractor, SLO Wellness Center.

I have been enjoying taking the Female Core Conversion class with kaleena. She is a highly motivating coach who is great at teaching and modifying the exercises for people of all levels in the class. Already feeling stronger and using muscles that weren’t being utilized properly. Thanks Gymnazo and Kaleena!

We had a Cal Poly Womens soccer alum as our trainer for womens club soccer during our visit there! She was so much fun and knew a lot about injury prevention for our specific type of training. She made strength training interesting and practical and seemed to have great experience! She deserves a raise!!!! We would love to have her as our trainer again!

Recently began taking the Female Core Class with Kaleena and it’s been the best experience! She is so knowledgeable, fun, and makes you feel super comfortable! I had ab separation from having 2 babies in less than a year and within just a few classes there was a huge difference! All the staff have been so welcoming and helpful!

I’ve only taken one session so far but my first impression was that it is a very welcoming and inclusive place. Signing up for a specific session day and time motivated me to get there. Once I arrived, there were introductions all around and a full explanation of what we were going to do. The exercises were not complicated but did work a variety of muscle groups, especially core. It was a very enjoyable work out.

I have been involved in athletics and physical fitness off and on all of my life - from traditional gyms to triathlon clubs - the same routine everyday. I was getting bored from the typical gym and exercise scene. Being in good fitness shape in my maturing years became even more important to me as I began to feel that more effort was required to complete a simple task. I needed more structure and variety of strength/cardio exercises in an intimate, circuit styled environment and found all of that and more in GYMNAZO fourteen months ago. Not only am I now the same size I was as a college athlete, but am stronger, more flexible, and toned. Performing any tasks in daily life are completed with ease and without challenges. I can move! The benefits of GYMNAZO was proven when I did my first TOUGH MUDDER this month - at 50 years of age. Because of GYMNAZO, this event was not only easy for me, it was fun. I breezed through every obstacle because my body was strong, flexible and confident. Thank you Michael Hughes and all the amazing, experienced staff at GYMNAZO for making exercise beneficial, fun and exciting.

You are not just a customer at Gymnazo. They treat you like a personal friend or family. Bottom line is they CARE about your well being, not just because its their job but because its their passion. I come away feeling educated, stronger, healthier, encouraged and honestly loved! :)

After a history of exercising at traditional gyms with traditional weights and equipment stations, I decided that my body, as it was maturing, needed a greater variety in movement! I jumped into Gymnazo, a exercise facility that was created by its owner, Michael Hughes, to train the body as it functionally moved throughout the day. My body has totally responded to this innovative, circuit style approach to exercise...Im stronger, more flexible and less prone to injury!

I really enjoyed the group circuit training. It was challenging and fun and there were obvious ways of measuring ones growth. Kyle was very supportive and uplifting. I felt dizzy at one point during the workout and had to get some fresh air. When I came back, I half expected to receive looks of disappointment from everyone. Instead, Kyle and the entire group kept giving me high-fives and smiles showing me that its important to be there and keep trying rather than get down on myself. All in all, it was a very positive experience and although I live 2 and a half hours away, I hope to be back soon. You guys rock!
