I've been at Blueprint almost a year now (1 month to go!) and its been quite a journey. When I first started I was definitely out of shape and constantly tired. Decided to make a lifestyle change but needed a gym with trainers that understood movement and not just giving you a ton of weight and telling you to "do it". I have had multiple surgeries, broken bones, muscle tears and countless other issues from playing sports all the way through college, the residual damage needed some correction and alts.
In my first session the trainers were able to easily find an alternate (equally as hard) movement for me without making you feel like you're being a "wimp". The trainers really get to know you and your capabilities and when to push you a little, and when to back off when you're simply a little beat up from work or just life LOL. There's no yelling in your face, pounding the ground, dropping weights loud behavior going on, environment isn't intimidating at all. People from all fitness levels are there every single day!
In my year there I've been gotten so much stronger, leaner and overall happier. I'll never be in the shape I was playing college sports but this is a close second!
The people at the gym are cool too, everyone is friendly and you find some pretty fun group training mates if you come in around the same time everyday. Another major positive about the gym is that it's diverse, race, age, color, creed, lifestyle etc - everyone is in there together!
