Joining Killer B Fitness was one of the best decisions I ever made regarding both my physical as well as mental health. I found myself steadily gaining weight, my back starting hurting because of my poor posture, and life as a graduate student was taking a major toll on my mental well-being. I tried starting exercise on my own, but
I always found it difficult to motivate myself to work out really hard if I was just on my own. I always found simple cardio to be very boring as well, so I looked into fitness classes in the area. I'm so glad I chose Killer B. There, you essentially get the attention and motivation of having a personal trainer without having to pay the high price for a personal trainer.
While most of the exercises you do at Killer B are cardio-focused, they all also activate multiple muscle groups at the same time. Between the five different cardio machines and the strength-focused exercises, every Killer B workout throughout the week addresses every major muscle group in your body. Sometimes you pair up with a partner to do relays on each of the cardio machines, which makes you automatically work out harder. Coupled with the constant encouragement of the trainer, I would never have been able to push myself to work out that intensely on my own. While the workouts can get very intense, they are also designed to be safe for your back, so injuring yourself is very unlikely despite the intensity. These exercises also strengthen your back and the various muscles that support your back, so you can quickly improve your overall general body strength while simultaneously losing weight.
I cannot emphasize enough how much I recommend this gym. The trainers are all genuinely nice people who will pump you up when you're getting ready to throw in the towel. While it can be a bit cheesy sometimes, each day starts with a "quote of the day" that contains a small bit of wisdom as far as taking on the challenges of fitness (and life in general). I found it to be a very nice little touch of positivity.
If you're at all considering fitness classes like this, I highly highly recommend this gym. You really won't regret it.
