5 stars. Really? I was a bit skeptical of what level of service/training I'd receive after my Ultimate Frisbee team signed up for 5 weeks worth of sessions with a trainer. I had my preconceptions about trainers, especially ones that came with a gym attached. It's a good thing I know how to still keep an open mind.
I thought I had found the one and only thing wrong with the place with the tipsy bench in the ladies' locker room. Except they changed that out for a nice cushy padded bench that doesn't fall over. Crap. 5 stars.
There were 8 of us doing weight and cardio training with Robin. We even got to come in for a free session so we could meet him and get to know the gym a little bit before our first official session started. Part of me doesn't quite want to relive all of the drills and exercises we went through, so I won't go into details. But suffice it to say, I was pushed to my limits every time, but never in any way that would cause me injury. Robin or another trainer was with each of us every time, correcting our form, making sure we weren't lifting too much weight, offering tips and advice to help us improve.
Athlete Factory is where you go if you want to see some serious improvement and are committed to doing the work your trainer is recommending for you. Don't waste their time if you're not. And if you do go, group training sessions are a great way to go!
