BE CAREFUL GROUPONERS::I was impressed by the orientation class. I left bragging to all my friends how comfortable I was with the environment and the instructor. The instructor was a girl with the last name Debias. She is the office manager. She made everyone feel welcomed and encouraged. I went to my first real class and the story was completely different. It was obvious I was new, I am not thin if that was the first clue! But yet I was not approached by anyone. I spotted the girl, Debias, and approached her, but she was not the instructor , she was there to work out. She was incredibly friendly though! Anyways, she ended up showing me who the instructor was. I will cut to the point....I felt out of place, the instructor, Major, had no personality. He did not introduce himself, or ask me for my name. He seemed annoyed to have to make a customized workout for me. And after my work out I stood near him not knowing what to do next. After about 10 minutes I asked what to do and he said I could go home. Had I not asked him I would have continued to stand around looking like an idiot. So I worked out for a total of about 18 minutes, and no one said good bye to me or gave me any suggestions.
*I was really hoping to become a regular member at this club since its 3 minutes from my home and I am dedicated to becoming fit. However, I have no motivation to go back to feeling out of place and all alone. It also surprises me that they don't do any follow ups. If I managed a place like this and saw that I have a customer that paid for a month and didn't return after their first visit, I would definitely shoot them an email or call them to encourage them to return or find out why they haven't.
* my last disappointment- when I first contacted the 800 number the owner told me the student discount was about 102 a month with no commitment needed. When I asked the Manager I was informed that its 102 a month with a year commitment. :(
I would recommend this place to those who have already been doing crossfit. But I do not recommend it to someone who's at all out of shape. You will feel out of place and lonely. :(
