| - If you are looking for a gym that combines high energy interval training with a supportive atmosphere, stop by Revolution Fitness. Right now they are offering bootcamp style classes four days a week. In a week or two they will have boxing classes as well. It's hard to find a facility that you feel a connection to, but I like this place and these people. It's not a traditional gym environment, but it moves at a steady pace and you will be sweating and pushing your limits the entire time.
The gym is in its infancy, but there is a life in this place. We've all walked into gyms with people mindlessly going through the workout motions. Not so much here. We work. The gym is organized around a number of class offerings each day. You choose which classes you will attend and then, working with a partner or a group, complete the workout outlined for that day. The classes include men and women of all fitness levels and last for an hour.
I wish I could say it's fun, but for me it's not. It's exhausting. If you are already in great shape, it's a solid maintenance program. If you are not in the best of shape, this program will kick your butt. If you've hit a plateau in your workout (or your workout is nonexistent), a good butt kicking may be just what you need.
The atmosphere is laid back and the people are welcoming and easy to chat with. And your instructor will know your name.
They will be starting boxing, nutrition classes, and even yoga classes soon. They are open for new members starting March 4 (I believe). It is definitely worth checking out.
