"I've been coming to Pulse for a few months now. I waited to review it until I was sure my initial impressions were accurate. \n\nI've joined various gyms through the years and tried out different \"boot camp\" deals I've come across. \n\nThis is the first place to which I feel I \"belong\". I'm not only impressed with the professionalism of the staff but, I just like the other members too. \n\nIt's not a \"meathead\" gym nor is it one of those mega places where you're pretty much on your own and invisible. \n\nThe staff knows their stuff and seem to genuinely care about your fitness and well being. They are valuable resources of exercise, physical therapy and nutrition advice.\n\nOther places I've tried left me with the impression that the bootcamp trainers were making it up as they went or just winging it. I often felt that things were kind of sloppy and rather than thinking \"that was a good workout\" I felt injured or strained. \n\nHere at Pulse, I've definitely worked myself but never felt like things were out of control or overdone. \n\nI love that according to Yelp, I've checked in here 48 times and I don't think we've ever repeated a single workout. \n\n(and, I wasn't in really BAD shape but have lost 12 lb of fat and gained 8 lb of muscle)"^^ .
