| - There are several Fit Body franchises in town, and each one has a unique setup. I like this one. This Bridgeland location is convenient for people who want to beat the morning traffic, and get a good workout in too.
Note that there are no shower facilities here (typical of Fit Body's), so hopefully you have one at the office! The facility has the standard array of dumbbells, medicine and balance balls, TRX straps, etc.. What does distinguish this facility from others is its floor: here you take off your shoes and workout on a felt surface with plenty of under cushioning. This is definitely easier on the joints than typical hard rubber flooring, but can make it difficult to maintain footing during some floor exercises.
Of course, the key to a bootcamp are the instructors: a dedicated husband and wife team run this location. Jimmy is pretty good at being encouraging, and quite vigilant about people's form. The warm up routine and workouts are quite varied, and make for a moderately intense 45 minute class that goes by quickly.
Outside the actual workout are nice touches for beginners, like a quick measurement and body fat calculation, and a welcome e-mail that includes nutrition info, a stretching manual, and a voucher for a free 30 minute massage. Also appreciated is that the doors are open and the workout posted well before the first class at 6am, so their is no downtime. All in a all a (bootcamp) class act!
