I've been frequently attending NE Fitness since I moved to Minneapolis 6 years ago. There are two basic angles for which I'd recommend the gym:First, the fitness.I love that, while the gym is oriented towards group fitness classes so there's always an instructor giving you a pre-planned workout, the vibe is still very 'choose your own adventure', with flexibility to push yourself as hard as you care to or don't care to. Sometimes I'm enthusiastically working up a sweat and sometimes I'm more concerned with standing around chatting, but either way, I'm always able to get the gym experience I'm looking for at that moment. As the years go on, the gym has been a totally transformative experience for me: I'm more fit than I've ever been at any other stage of my life, because I always have a good workout waiting for me, and I can stick to my routines regardless of how energetic or tired I may feel.Second, the community.I love that NE Fitness is so accepting of a wide variety of identities and body types. I love that the focus on classes allows for the development of a community of regulars. I love the relaxed chatty vibes in general. As someone that works from home, the gym has been a lifeline of ensuring a minimum positive social interaction in my daily life. (which is not to say I never hunker down and work out in peace if I feel like it lol)I think NE Fitness is a very special gym experience and I'm not sure if there's another gym in the Twin Cities with quite this same combo of qualities. I'm intending to keep being a regular for as long as I live in the Twin Cities.There was a time where I'd take 1 class using 15 lb dumbbells and that really tired me out. Now I take 2-3 classes in a day using 25 lb dumbbells and I feel energized afterwards. Progress! Thanks NE Fitness!
