| - Hit, hit, hit and a big miss!
This review is mostly for the Aerobic classes. Everything else is just rather normal and like your average gym, except the layout sucks in my opinion. Anyway, about the classes. I was looking for a way to spice up my routine, getting bored is my biggest downfall. So, I decided to stop in every night to experience a good chunk of the classes they have to offer.
It started out great, the step II class was challenging, high energy, and the instructor was motivating.
The Latin class was fun, although I don't feel like I'm getting as much of a workout, maybe that's because group dance doesn't exactly promote form or teach you proper moves and thus you find yourself just going with the flow. You wobble left and wobble right, but it's still a fun way to kill an hour while being active.
Next was kickboxing. The instructor has a lot of enthusiasm and I really liked that. She even takes the time to break down the form for movements she thinks the class is struggling with, rather than just let us kick away while trying not to fall over. She also ended class with some ab work, which I appreciated. I have taken kickboxing at a karate dojo and this class is not as intense by any means, but still worth it and you still get a good work out. I just wish I could hit something other than air! Maybe LA Fitness will invest in some punching bags.
Now for the worst and last. The spin class. It was so bad it was good. I thought to myself- "self, are you in an SNL skit?" The whole time I was chanting inside my head "never again." The instructor had NO energy and I couldn't understand anything she said. I wasn't alone, the girl next to me kept looking over with a wtf expression on her face. All she said was GO, every single second, I'm not kidding. I wanted yell, SHUT UP or THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE TO SAY. Here is a little excerpt:
"We goin d clim, okay lay go."
Pause
"Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, hi sistance, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, low sistance, o, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, hi, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go."
Pause
"Key i up"
"Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, hi sistance, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, low sistance, o, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, hi, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, I me ii."
She had no emotion, it was like she was on autopilot. And the music was waaayyy too low, couldn't hear it over her yelling go. I really wish I could record it for all of you to hear. It was mind boggling bad. I almost walked out, but I decided to make the best of it and I WILL NEVER take her class again. Beware! All the proof you need is in the numbers- her class had about 6 people in it (most of them new), all the others were packed with people (lots of regulars).
In the end I am happy with my new gym, except for that nightmare of a spin class... and some overly confident, naked lady lotioning up practically spread eagle in front of my locker. Eww, it's called a towel, wrap it around yourself for God's sake.
