| - Now I have been going to this place for a week.
The first session was pretty much all about the warm up, lots of stretching and moves that help loosen you up. (I didn't know my body could bend and move like that.)
The second session was more intense, yes we warmed up but we did some moves that were similar to yoga and then added a kettle bell weight just to make things interesting. (I will learn to hate the kettle bell one day I am sure) Some of the drills may look a little funny but it is amazing how you can feel these drills working while you are doing them. Another cool thing is the trainer has you make one little change and you feel the workout effect a different area.
My trainer was great and that is one thing that separates this place from the rest, the trainers get to know you, they work with you for the entire session and design a program that is right for you. (Of course I got the young studly guy instead of one of the many HOT female trainers they have here. I'm not complaining, this helped me focus on my work out)
This is not the same old circuit training you've seen in the past.
At the end of the second day my trainer worked with me on cooling down and stretching. I don't mean that he stood there and told me what to do, He actually was hands on, stretching and increasing range of movement. It was awesome.
I should mention here that I have not disclosed the trainers name here for a reason; they have several trainers, and while I work with the same one every time I have seen many of the others and they are all great.
Now the workouts are more intense, I am feeling the change start and I am liking it. With out using weights I am working and stretching till parts of my body shake. My trainer calls it the tremor of truth) and there are some weights we use on other days but the program changes daily so there is no getting bored with the same old thing each time. This is not back and bicep one day chest and triceps the next day. This is working groups of muscles and strengthening your core muscles while improving balance and flexibility.
I mentioned before that they do not have lockers or showers but I recently learned that they are expanding and will have showers and lockers in the new facility that should open on October.
I have belonged to several gyms over the years and even had personal trainers, however these guys take the extra time needed to make sure you get out of the program what you want and make you feel more like a friend when you walk in the door than a number on a membership card.
Check it out, I'm glad I did.
