Unity is a fantastic, locally-owned gym that focuses on individualized training programs and building a real community around health and fitness. If you're not a "gym person," (as I wasn't), this place has a welcoming and accessible vibe, and a super-clean space as well. There's also a huge accountability factor that I really appreciate about Unity: Coaches know all of the members by name, as well as any modifications needed due to injury, etc. This is not a big box gym, or an impersonal workout space filled with strangers on treadmills.
In about six months, Unity has made me stronger, more confident about trying new exercises and equipment, and even less anxious about working out in a gym around other people. My jeans fit better too, though there is not any pressure about weight loss or body size/type. Nutrition coaching is available (and a smoothie bar), but not a required part of the program. During the 'safer-at-home' order, Unity has moved coaching and training online, posting workouts and building a virtual space for members to keep in touch with their community.
