. "0"^^ . "Just did my orientation today. It was a 2hr session where the owner Sean and the powerlifter Nigel walk you through some of the techniques of the four big lifts: squats, bench press, deadlift and overhead press. Although I have been working out for quite a few years, had a couple of trainers, became a \"certified\" pt myself, it is always good to be able to ask questions and have experiened lifters to give you an OK on the forms. \nI dont think the environment is intimidating, there are people of all kinds of backgrounds, builds and techniques. There are a lot of serious lifters, for sure, but what I also find is those peeps tend to be nicer than your average fitness snobs.\nWhat they also offer is group classes that cost only 20 a session that go over those above four lifts. If you are new to these lifts I think it would be totally worth it to sign up for a few sessions. I had to spend a couple thousands to hire a PT. Group classes is much cheaper and probably just as effective if not more.\nAll in all, love at first sight for me, I will update the review once I am here for a month or two. Also after all, it is all about the gains not the gym itself. Lets hope a better environment can bring some more gains, maybe??"^^ . . "0"^^ . "5"^^ . "2015-08-30T00:00:00"^^ . . "0"^^ .
