Loved the training, LOVE the staff and couldn't ask for a better spot to train in town! Thank you Brandy and the entire crew for making me feel welcomed and working my butt off!
BEYOND RUDE. I asked a simple question about price and the trainer Brandy talked to me like I was a complete idiot. Last time I checked being condescending was not a great way to get customers. I just had my first workout with a trainer at Lifetime fitness. She was great, best workout ever.
The staff here is so amazing, and they genuinely care about me. If you're looking for a new gym family, look no further.
Wonderful place to workout with excellent and caring owners. You won't regret walking in here!
I have waited awhile to write my review to get some perspective and really try to put my experience into words. I will start with the positive:
PROs: Small class sizes, having to sign up for the classes creates great accountability and helps with follow through, very supportive trainers, good variety in classes/times to fit most schedules. As far as the 6 week challenge pros: easy to follow meal plans, some great recipes, Like the private group on Facebook as it helps with motivation. These things would receive 5 stars.
CONs: When I first went in to sign up for the challenge, Brandy, the owner said that due to where I already was (not wanting to lose 20+ pounds) that my goal should be based on reducing my body fat%. I expressed concern with that because I have absolutely no experience with measuring that ever in my life. She didn't budge and I felt pressured to go with what she suggested (that is my own fault for not pushing back and sticking with what I know). At the end of week 2 I had lost almost 9 lbs and my body fat % had gone up. I expressed my concern to her then and she said to wait until at least week 3 as it takes awhile for the body to adjust and I really needed to pay attention to time of day, water intake etc. I spoke with her again about it week 4 when it still had not moved and I had started to do more research about body fat % and found it is one of, if not the most, unreliable things to measure. When I met with Brandy and tried to talk about it I felt like I was talking to a wall. There was no validation for the unreliability of the measurement and actually she said that it was probably because I was so stressed and "holding on to too much" and that was why. So although I was working hard and seeing results in my body, apparently the lack of change in measurement was MY fault. I had a similar conversation with her at the end of the challenge, because although I lost 12.5 lbs, my body fat DID NOT CHANGE AT ALL... which seems impossible but that is what the scale said. I am a goal oriented person and so although I was seeing changes, the fact that I was making NO Progress towards my goal was extremely difficult for me and my continued motivation. My experience with Brandy always left me feeling shamed and disrespected. Like I said earlier, the trainers were great, but for me and Brandy is was not positive. I would just urge anyone doing the challenge to do some research about measuring body fat vs. pounds before you start your goal. I always reach my goals and I did not reach this one, or even make any progress, and as a result I feel that I was set up for failure and scammed out of $500. Again, this is just my experience and I know many others have different experiences, but needed to share.
Great place! Like so many other people I have problems with pain, balance, inflexibility bad exercise habits, form, etc... that I've developed over the years using standard exercise equipment or working out in clubs were I didn't feel comfortable due to the size of the class, pace or lack of experience, from the staff or myself. FYSF's classes are smaller. The highly knowledgeable trainers are able to hold you accountable for your goals with functional results using body weight, instead of standard weights and machines to decrease pain, increase flexibility and strength. From the yoga to the challenging exercise classes it's been a win, win situation. I trust FYSF so much that I refer my patients here. Thank you to all the FYSF staff for the great times, workouts and more importantly, results.
The 6 week challenge at Feed Your Soul is a great program to kickstart a healthier lifestyle! The meal plan is easy and satisfying and the workouts are incredibly effective in just 30 minutes. You get a ton of support from FYSF staff and other participants! Just do it, you'll be glad you did!
FYSF has been a lifesaver for me. The 30 minute workouts are so doable and you really get a workout. Being able to do everything in one studio is so helpful, whether I do yoga, TRX, cardio or strength. The groups are small the the trainers get to know you and help individualize the workout so you can progress the best way for you.
I am not a person that likes working out. I'd rather eat wings and sit on my butt! I've often signed up for gyms and then gone just a handful of times. I found it hard to get motivated or didn't know what to do. Well I'm very proud of the fact that I've been going to classes at Feed Your Soul Fitness for over a year now! I feel so comfortable in the small group sessions and everyone is friendly. I'm so glad I found this place.
