This workout space has increased im size over the years. She’s also expanded her services and continued to mix things up as trends change.
You can use this as a space for cardio, they have some equipment and there’s usually a machine available. There are a variety of class’s offered at various times throughout the day. There’s a large free weight area and its female friendly.
You can hire one of the trainers there who are good.
Lots of regulars here, it’s a family type place.
Some parking in small lot, or street.
No AMEX.

I’ve been a member probably for about three months now. I’m a college student and without a car, so I was looking for something close by and that is affordable. I should also mention that this is the first gym that I’ve become a part of. Also they have great equipment and great classes. Their instructors are nice. Hard bodies classes (tone/​firm) with Wendy, interval toning classes with Wendy, and Tone up/​Tabata with Patrizia are some of my favorites. It’s a clean facility, and the workers there are nice. I wish there was more parking and maybe air conditioning where they have cycling classes but other than that I love it there.

It’s nice that the owner is regularly there.

Been going here for years. Easy and convenient location for me and lots of variety in classes. Do not use the weight room so can not vouch for it. Love the M/​W/​F nine am Zumba class with Gil. The man is a powerhouse and always professional and fun. If u need early am classes or late night the class is there. Maybe a little dated but everyone is friendly and lots of N Bflo locals like me love it there!

I have been a member since last summer (’10). I really enjoy working out here. I usually do the classes then some weight training on the side. That’s if the class didn’t already touch upon the weights. The classes here are great! I am a regular to Dakins’ class on T/​Th am. I am addicted. That was until I started my new job and now my schedule will not allow my normal am workouts. Dakin is an amazing instructor, always changing up the class so we are not just going through the motions. The music in her class is always good too, there is nothing worse than working out with crappy music that doesn’t pump you up.
Other instructors that I love are Kim and Chad. Kim teaches at night and has an amazing ab workout once a week call Toning and Abs with Kim. Awesome! No cardio so get that in before or after. Chad’s classes are insane. He is a genetic freak when it comes to workouts (this is a good thing). I don’t know where he gets this shit from. No single class is ever the same. The first class I took of his was Friday nights 4:30 — 5:30… and let me just tell you the warm up made me almost throw up. He is intense. But don’t let that scare you because he will adjust to you if you need modifications. He also does a Boot Camp on Sat mornings which is incredible. I usually try to limit it to one of his classes a week just so that I am not sore all week long.
I have 2 gym memberships. This one and another out in the suburbs so that when I am out there I don’t have to drive to the city to work out. The other place I work out is more modern and has better music. The cardio area is more updated and it overlooks the weight area so you can people watch while working out. It makes the elliptical time go much faster. In comparison which do I like better? Terries no doubt. Yes it has older cardio equipment but I don’t usually use it anyway. The staff at Terrie’s is a family and it shows. I don’t know how many times I have been in the weight room and needed a little guidance. At Terrie’s I know that I can ask a trainer and they will be more than happy to help me. There are always trainers all over all the time. I rarely see trainers on the floor at the other gym and if so I would never dare ask. At my suburban gym I see people lifting weights the wrong way, to the point of injury. The trainers see this but because they are not a paying customer just let it happen. That would not happen at Terrie’s. I have seen the trainers aid people that are not paying customers. To me that says a lot. I love the family atmosphere. That is what will keep me a member!

I went to try it out and it was like going back in time to the mid 80’s! So weird! The layout is goofy and the equipment is ok but nothing amazing. The facility itself is old and looks it. The aerobics class was packed (probably too full) and it was a decent workout. But the instructor was weird and I don’t like taking fitness classes from an overweight person. Oh and I think membership rates are spendy based on the kind of place it is.
