| - The place is amazing! When I walked through the door I was immediately scared, but a woman who I later learned was Jillian welcomed me and told me it would be ok, and not to be scared. As someone who feels utterly self conscious and extremely uncomfortable in the gym I can honestly say this place is different and EVERYBODY was so nice and encouraging. I went to the Community Workout this morning and there were people of all different sizes and fitness levels. A little about....I am ok with cardio but I have no strength at all and I cannot do a single push up. I was super morbidly obese but after losing 120+ pounds my weight loss has started to plateau. Now at 6 feet tall 260 pounds, I'm still not small, so please don't think it was easy for me. The workout was intense, and when I felt like I couldn't keep going another person who was a regular at the gym told me to keep moving and gave me some encouragement. She wasn't the only one. There was encouragement from Trish, Jillian, my classmates, and other people just working out, who were in incredible shape I might add, and this is why I am giving this 5 stars. I will be going back. It's intense, but you will feel such a sense of accomplishment by going. Don't worry if you can't do something(push-ups in my case) Trish or Jillian will help you with modifiers. I will certainly be going back next week!
