The boot camp classes really push you. If you want to get whipped into shape, check them out!
Attended bootcamp class. It was a great workout! However, I was concerned that the instructor didn't demo the movements. If I was new to fitness/weight training/HIIT workouts I would've been lost on how to do a Russian/American/Single Arm kettle-bell swing or possibly injured myself. I was also unsure what modifications there were for movements as they were not demoed. Perhaps our instructor was new or having a bad day? As someone who also teaches fitness classes in the area, I'm very understanding. I also never knew the instructors name and he didn't ask who was new to the class and he just threw us in to get started, which is intimidating for newbies...especially those just getting back into fitness (again, not me). My thinking is that 8th Day has structured this type of class with less focus on individuals more of a "get in and get out" workout compared to their CrossFit classes.Another note, please, please, PLEASE provide wipes for us to clean equipment!! This made my heart so sad. I've worked in studios where the flu has spread like wildfire! The guy next to me was dripping all over his mat and just hung it up afterwards. Eeek! All in all, this is a great workout. The facility is huge, though a little disorganized and hard to navigate when you first arrive. It looked like everyone in class really enjoyed being there. And, at the end of the day, I was sore and feeling it which is the POINT of working out. There are areas for improvement at the gym, but a good spot for those who live/work downtown.
First and foremost the owner is an amazing person. That means the coaches are amazing and the equipment is updated and well taken care of. The place is clean. The coaches help you get to the level of training you want to be at and it's a great place to meet people that have the same goals as you and are willing to help you along the way.
Arrived for 3 days of workouts last week as a drop in from out of country. Was greeted by the owner, Joe, and given a tour of his awesome gym. Met great people, did several well- programmed workouts and had a STELLAR experience. I left wishing this was my hometown gym. Thanks guys!!
Smart training, great community, knowledgeable coaches. Very impressive facility. Bar none the best place to train in the area.
