GymClass

I am not a fan of working out and have a history of starting then stopping exercising. If the gym or exercise class is too far or requires me to get in my car to drive there, I always end up making an excuse. I've only ever been consistent when I hired a personal trainer to come to my door to work out. When my trainer moved onto another career gig, I never bothered to look for a replacement. I relayed this information when I first met Shannon, the owner of Gym Class. A friend had told me about it a while back and I had reached a point where I knew I needed to start exercising. My only goal when I started was to create a routine where I would consistently show up. With Shannon's support, I not only showed up every morning for the 7am workout, but I definitely got stronger. Shannon and Gen (another coach) are really good at gently pushing you, helping to make modifications, and keep you entertained while you're getting through your workout. They are also excellent at taking feedback or trying new things which you can really only do in a small gym setting.Lastly, the thing I wasn't expecting at all was to meet some kick ass women in the gym class community who are also encouraging me to show up and reach my own goals. I literally came for the small group workout and have found a wonderful little network of women as an added bonus.

I love this place! Im the type of person who does not like working out. I hate it. It takes A LOT to get me to exercise but GymClass has completely changed the way I think and feel about working out. I am excited to go everyday its open. The ladies that you work out with are supportive, motivating, and so helpful. This place is a gem. Im so happy Im a part of it.

This is a very special community & there's nothing like it. If you're looking to improve your health & well-being in a safe, supportive, & fun environment - this is it! Before starting here, I had never managed to go to the gym consistently, let alone work with intimidating weights. I'm 4 months in now, & have greater confidence in myself & what I can do, both in & outside of the gym. This is somewhere between a group class & personal training sessions - you go at your own pace, get personal attention & high accountability, as well a caring, authentic community, thanks to the environmentShannon has created. It's been inspiring to hear others' stories & every month, there's a new eye-opening community event - from talks on menopause, to led-demonstrations on qigong & yoga. I can't say enough how transformative GymClass is & how glad I am to be part of it!
