| - I've been waiting to write this review for TruFusion for a while now. I wanted to get a feel for the plethora of different classes they offer before I gave my two cents. After going to two classes a day (pilates/bootcamp/boxing then yoga) for about two months, I can happily say that I'm OBSESSED.
CLEANLINESS (5/5):
TruFusion is insanely clean considering the amount of sweat, blood, and tears that transpires. Right when a class empties, a staff member rushes in to clean the floors before the next class starts. This ensures that every class gets clean floors, free from pools of sweat. Even in some of the boxing classes, an instructor (David) runs around with the Swiffer mop in between rounds to clean up the sweat. The equipment storage room is always organized and in order. They have a disinfecting bin for used resistance bands. The locker room area is always spotless. No complaints on the cleanliness of this location whatsoever.
INSTRUCTORS (5/5):
I have tried all of the classes except Barre and a few harder yoga classes. In my experience, practically all of the instructors are phenomenal. It is definitely evident in the popularity of their classes. They provide challenging, different variations. You can read up on the instructors on the website and they are impressively qualified. There are a few that are pretty average, but they're definitely the minority in the instructors.
Another thing I noticed is that most of the instructors (particularly the yoga instructors) really try to build a relationship with the students. A lot of the instructors introduce themselves to anyone they notice who are new. They tend to recognize people and remember their names. For example, Jimmy said "You're doing great Judy!" in the middle of class. I was surprised he even remembered me because I only took one class with him a few weeks back.
RANGE + QUALITY OF CLASSES (5/5)
Here is MY general interpretation for the classes. They may not be entirely spot on so take it with a grain of salt.
Hot Pilates
- High intensity work out
- Great cardio with strength conditioning
- Uses body weight and small dumbells (minimal weights)
- Good for weight loss
- I've done pilates for many years and to this day these instructors have us do workouts I've never even seen before (i.e. Jenny Kim)
- Heated room
Bootcamp
- High intensity work out
- Similar to pilates except with kettlebells (more weight incorporated into the workouts)
- One of my favorite classes
- Good for weight loss
- Heated room
Suspension
- Not heated
- A lot of strength training involved
- Good for muscle strength
- Intense but not as much as pilates/bootcamp in my opinion
Vinyasa
- More intense yoga
- A lot of flowing from pose to pose
- Definitely didn't expect the amount of strength required to hold these poses (unexpected strength training)
- I love yoga because it is a practice. This means you get better the more you do it.
- Lots of one on one help (i.e. David Vander Meer, Angela, Rachel)
- Instructors always give variations to accommodate skill level
- Heated/unheated option
Yin
- A lot more relaxed and focused on deep stretching
- I LOVE Candlelight Yin (deep, long stretches with candles around you)
- Heated/unheated option
Boxing is a great work out. It's a tough work out that trains stamina and strength. However, it's fun so time can go by quickly. The cycling classes is truly an intense cardio work out that gets me sweating like no other. Sadly, I must be doing something wrong in these classes because I get bruised from the bike. Signature Series is amazing because it is the same heated yoga routine each time. This means you can track your progress by coming to this class and seeing how far you've come. It is worth trying out the wide range of classes and seeing what you like. There is definitely a class for everyone!
EXTRA POINTS:
- Juice/food bar where you order on a slip and they just charge it to your name. Super convenient considering your credit card is generally not on you after/before class.
- Rainfall showers with soap/shampoo/etc provided.
- Awesome student discount on membership
- $30 for 30 day special to try it out for a month (amazing deal)
- Spacious lockers that are super easy to use
- Cubbies by the classes for shoes, keys, etc
- Scented humidifiers everywhere (smells amazing and spa-like)
I've been to different hot yoga/pilates places but this is by far my favorite. I love the clean and modern environment of the place. The instructors are amazing at what they do and very helpful. I love that I can just show up here knowing I will spend a productive hour or two on my body. The classes never disappoint in kicking my butt. I highly recommend TruFusion!
