I found Studio Me through a simple Google search for Boot Camp programs to jump start my fitness regimen as I was going into fall. I did not expect to find what I really found.
First, they offered a Boot Camp class at 6 pm! This is so amazing to me, as 6 am is not even on my radar. I am not even a functioning human until at least 10 am on any given day. Evening classes, and weekend classes available to me after 10 am are a pretty big deal in my world.
Secondly, the instructors are ALL very accessible! I love the amount of support they give, and that they are so encouraging and positive. I don't feel pressure to compete with anybody but myself, or to prove anything to anybody but myself.
The other members I have encountered have been so supportive, approachable, and encouraging as well! We literally cheer each other on, and it is so much fun to go to classes. This isn't your "show up with a perfect body, $110 workout pant with matching everything else, full makeup to fit in" kind of place. I feel totally comfortable showing up as I am; not in perfect physical condition, messy hair, no makeup, tattooed, just a normal 40-something weirdo. There is no one kind of person at Studio Me, and I LOVE everything about that. Even if I have had a terrible day, I feel great and I feel accomplished every time I leave Studio Me, and I am usually leaving there a sweaty, tired mess.
Parking is usually a piece of cake, if you are a driver. Even though I live near Minnehaha Falls I can usually get to the studio in rush hour and be ready to go in about 20 minutes.
I cannot emphasize enough how much I love Studio Me and how it is an investment that is well worth it for me. YES, it costs more than a regular gym membership, BUT I get small group training and I get to mix up my workouts every single time I am there. I get the support that I need to keep motivated; between the staff and the other members. I can use the 3-D body scanner to see my progress. I get to feel physically and mentally stronger, healthier, and more amazing; and that is the ultimate payoff for my investments.
It is totally worth trying even one class. What do you have to lose that you don't WANT to lose?!
