Hybrid Athletic Club

I absolutely love this gym! I was anti gym for a long time but now I am there just about every day of the week. the layout is nice and I have never had to wait for a machine. They do a lot of bootcamps here so sometimes the floor gets a little crowed after work with larger groups, but I can almost always find a spot to do my strength training stuff. I like to watch the bootcamps while working out if I don’t participate because it keeps me motivated to continue pushing myself on whatever exercise i’m focusing on. All of the trainers are extremely nice and helpful, even if you don’t pay them to get trained by them, they are willing to give pointers and its much appreciated. The front desk clerk is so sweet, Samantha, she always remembers our names and she is so welcoming.
Fit Fresh — they have this awesome cuisine that is delicious! The ONLY negative in the whole building is that Fit Fresh closes their area down at 7pm which is really unfortunate since the last bootcamp goes until 7pm and it doesn’t give anyone attending an opportunity to enjoy their food unless they run out of bootcamp to put in an order and run back to rejoin the group. My suggestion would be that they stay open until 7:15 — 7:30 to give those sometimes large groups an opportunity to enjoy their food.

Hybrid Fitness is a full service gym that also offers group class bootcamps and personal training. While it doesn’t have all the glitz and glamor of some of the national chains, it’s smaller size means that you feel like a friend as soon as you walk in the door.
As someone who had a lot of weight to lose, walking into a gym (any gym) felt intimidating. It’s hard to take that first step. Hybrid is welcoming, and you will see people of all shapes and sizes working out on all of the machines and in all of the bootcamps.
The environment is clean, there is always someone bringing fresh towels through. All the employees are knowledgeable and helpful. Sometimes they’ll even humor you in playing some basketball!
One of the nice things about Hybrid is the fact that that Fit Fresh Cuisine is attached to the gym. I’ll leave a separate review of the restaurant, but suffice it to say that it is a great option for a quick meal.
There are a limited number of showers, so if you need to head to work straight after bootcamp I’d recommend heading out of class just a couple of minutes early to grab a shower stall.

I’ve been attending a mobile bootcamp and some group classes for 6 weeks. I also tried a 1-​week Fit Fresh dinner plan.
The workouts are challenging, whatever your fitness level. The trainers are educated, knowledgable, helpful and positive. I thought the bootcamp and kickboxing classes were really fun. I felt exhausted, but I was rarely sore the following day.
The dinners give you a nice variety of proteins (chicken, fish, pork) and fresh veggies. I thought everything tasted great, and I felt fueled and healthy after eating. There’s a peace of mind in knowing you are consuming freshly-​prepared food that isn’t weighted with the fat and salt you find in most prepared meals these days.
I’ve been working out regularly in a variety of settings for 20+ years and have pretty high expectations for fitness services. I find Hybrid Fitness to be an excellent gym in every way. The unique addition of Fit Fresh’s nutritional offerings makes Hybrid an exceptional place to pursue your fitness and wellness goals.

I initially wrote a review Fall 2011 and it was recently removed because I didn’t come back to directly update with «my first hand experience.»
Fair enough and my apologies for overlooking that by including my update in the Fit Fresh review.
Hybrid shows real results via several ads that run in the WSJ. I was willing to pay the cost to join for those results in the time frame I had to complete. The bonus: I had a friend complete the program and although he’s male (and men lose weight faster) I saw the same results in him and took his feedback to heart. So I was really excited to start the meal plan first and complete my bootcamp contract out then go over to Hybrid.
My personal experience: The place appears to be clean and well kept.
Hybrid Fitness apparently excutes the BCOR bootcamp committment in this area until someone else is able to handle the downtown/​east/​suburbian areas. I signed up with Bcor anticipating the start of my experience at the end of July 2012. Because of my previous experience and most recent email contact I decided this may not be smart to attend.
I got unnerved after receiving a Unilocal email that the Fit Fresh review received a response, but it was removed (no real issue there) + I received a harrasing message referring to my review via my inbox. So combine that inbox message with the removed message — call me smart to be nervous and suscipicous.
Now, I’m over my fears of the Unilocal stalker or at least the fears don’t outweigh my hope in meeting my new deadline before having to report back to the unit. To that end, I’ll report back in 90days how the workouts go.
