My wife and I have been members of this gym for a little over two years and could not be happier with their management, the front desk staff, the equipment, the wet area/locker room, the overall cleanliness of the gym, and the trainers! Everyone is just top notch, friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, helpful and it truly has become like a home away from home!
We have known one of the new owners (Karie) since when we first joined and she might just be the friendliest person alive! She is the type of person you just look forward to being in the same room with and, oh well, it is just hard to explain! Kyle the manager has a great temperament and has had to reel me in on a couple of occasions so kudos to him. He is very even keel and we are still members to this day because of his management style and acumen! If we still owned hotels he would be my first choice to run one of them!
My wife and I just started taking some of the classes OBF offers in their studio area and we have never been so tired in all of our life. The trainers leading these classes are phenomenal and once we get over our soreness we feel better than ever! We are taking Dan's bodyweight class, Hannah's high intensity glute class and then two with Myah (core fusion and a yoga lab class). All three of these trainers are very knowledgeable and motivating - we look forward to getting to class and to the end of the class (but not so much the middle of class but then that is how it should be!). Hannah's catch phrase before each new exercise is 'it's going to be fun!'. It is a lot of things but not sure fun adequately describes it! (She actually does make the class a lot of fun but you definitely end the class knowing you had a great workout!) Myah is exceptional in describing the various yoga positions and where you should be feeling a certain pose and then just how the various muscles should be working together. She just really knows her stuff and we are looking forward to learning more and more from her in the future! Dan is a solid trainer and we love kicking off the week with his class. He likes to do some more unconventional stuff so we have had to work some out of class to get some of the form and mechanics down pat but have started to really enjoy the diversity his class offers!
Bottom line. We feel fortunate to belong to such a fantastic gym (and one that we can just walk to in downtown Boulder) and feel so lucky when we arrive and are greeted by a nice hello and a great smile from Jesse, Rihanna, Seren, Kyle or Hannah! it just sets the tone for a great workout!
