Fit ‘n Lean X-ercise

Attended the aerial fitness/​yoga class which was basically sans aerial. The class was poorly instructed and unchallenging. I’ve attended other aerial fitness classes and the fitness portion generally includes planks, sit ups, burpees, pull ups, etc. and yet this contained none of the above. The aerial portion of the class was nonexistent – the ceilings were too low and even for a beginners class, I expected the instructor to go through more poses than what we did. I am from out of town and signed up for this class via Classpass so it’s safe to say I will not be coming back.

I cannot review their classes here as I did not get past the rude attitude of the owner to attend one of them.
I arrived at the facility 10 minutes before a class that I was going to via class pass. The woman I encountered said she emailed me quite some time ago because I didn’t leave a «proper» phone number and basically made me feel as though it were my fault that I didn’t receive word in time. I said I was only in town for a few days so I preferred to do the class but she seemed very put off by me.
Since I wasn’t interested in being a patron of a place where they treat their new customers so poorly I just left.

I enjoy my personal training sessions with Vikie twice a week at Fit ‘n Lean X-​ercise. She modifies the workouts to assist me with the goals I set for myself. No two sessions are the same so I never get bored. I also attend a weekly Zumba class. High energy and fun. I love the options and seeing my results. They are very reasonably priced and also able to assist with nutritional care. Conveniently located to my home.

This is the gym I’ve been looking for since I moved to Phoenix. It’s close to my house, has a friendly local vibe, great place to meet fitness friends from my neighborhood. I go to morning bootcamp M/​W/​F. It’s not testosterone-​induced insanity like Crossfit can be, yet it’s still a high-​intensity interval workout that anyone can find challenging, regardless of fitness level. Modifications are endless for the exercises, and you can push yourself harder to up the intensity. I leave feeling worked OUT, but I’m also building friendships here. Lots of younger professional women in the bootcamp classes at least.
The aerial class is SO FUN – stretching like you’ve never had before, and the instructor Ashley really knows her stuff. She’s tatted up and badass.
Pros: signup online is convenient, and you can purchasing packages of classes, or monthly unlimited, smaller class sizes means more attention from the instructor. Ask them about their package deals.
Cons: morning bootcamp class size is a little lean, but hopefully it grows!

Aerial yoga with Stephanye is super fun. Looking forward to trying a barre class soon as well.

FLX… what a great space and great people!
I got the training special on their website (5 personal training sessions for $ 99= awesome!) with the hopes that I could find my motivation again for working out. My energy had been low and I knew that exercise was the key to getting it back… and that Vikie could help!
Vikie had been my trainer at a local gym, and I knew that she would challenge me and help strengthen the areas where I have issues (like my knees), but also make it fun. Vikie has a great positive energy about her, and has the experience and education to do it right. It also helps that she has a lot of «East Coast» in her personality, so she’s really funny too!
I love the space. it has great natural lighting and has an openness about it– and an overall inspiring feeling with lots of fun motivational sayings on the walls. They have several cardio machines– like treadmills, an elliptical machine, an exercise bike, etc, as well as free weights, balance balls, and some of the same type of weight equipment she trained me on back at the other gym… and on the other side they have some amazing aerial yoga harnesses that I can’t wait to go back and try!
When I arrived for my first session, I was greeted by Lori, who made me feel welcome and had me start warming up for the training session. When I was warmed up and ready, Vikie began the assessment. We discussed goals, issues I was having, and then jumped into the training. She’s great about checking in as you’re doing the routines to make sure the weight is appropriate and you’re feeling it where you should be feeling it. And when it was over, she’s got a great stretching machine that I used to help stretch out a bit.
For the rest of the day, I definitely felt an increase in my energy, and I am looking forward to the rest of my sessions. I’m also really excited about trying out their aerial yoga classes, barre classes, and Zumba. They’ve really found a way to make working out fun and exciting!
