| - I came with a friend who had a free trial pass for me to use. I was interested in checking this place out and giving it a shot. But with any workout establishment, there were some pro's and con's here.
Some positives were that it was quick and easy to sign the beginning paperwork, it is in a nice area of Scottsdale at the foot of Camelback mountain, and they have fun and unusual equipment, like Water Rowers. Also, I like the idea of putting your heartrate and calories on the big screen for everyone to see, it keeps you more accountable.
The big red flag for me was that about 3/4 of the way into the workout I felt super dizzy and like I was going to throw up. I went to the restroom, but didn't end up barfing. (TMI,sorry) I got no acknowledgement from the instructor when I came back in. No workout should be so fast-paced or difficult that there's no time to stop and ask someone how they are doing.
I get the whole concept, and in general I like it. I just think that I should have been warned to pace myself more in the beginning. The bonus is that I burned a ton of calories and ran 2 miles, plus lifted a lot of weights. I am proud of myself for that, but I don't think I'll come back.
