Oni Fitness Studio

Just used a Groupon to take a TRX class here, and I don’t know WHY I waited so long. The instructor was the nicest, most motivating person I think I have ever met and I cannot WAIT to go back. For once, A groupon pointed me to something I will stick with for a very, very long time.

TRX 360 class is the SMART workout and the instructor Will is OUTSTANDING. I love boot camps, cycle class, yoga, running groups etc. you name it I have tried it however the TRX 360 class with Will at ONI Fitness Studio is what I have been searching for. It is a complete body workout and you are focusing on the core during the entire class. Give it a try and you will be hooked.

I was looking forward to trying out the classes at ONI. This morning they cancelled the 11:00am Barre class without notifying me in advance. By in advance I’m thinking a phone call 30 minutes prior to the start would have been professional & considerate. They do have my name & number.
Why was it cancelled? «oh, we’re sorry, Heather the instructor had a cheer leading thing or something…»
Great professionalism ONI!

I work out 6 days a week. Every week. I enjoy sweating and I want to be unable to move at the end of a work out.
Half way through my first TRX 360 session I was lying on the floor with my legs suspended in the air saying to myself, «I am NEVER doing this again… I’m going to die…» (and repeat).
I can’t wait to go back.
WIll was amazing. There was 4 of us in the class on a Saturday morning and he did not let up. 2 of the women were regulars whereas the other two of us were newbies. He breaks the class down into sections based upon what you’re working and yes, there will be more sets and many more repetitions. You won’t die. And you will feel it for 4 days after.
$ 20 is a bit high to do regularly, but when I feel the need to surround myself with others, I will be returning.

I’ve been taking Pilates Reformer and Mat classes at Oni since January and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them. I’ve had two babies in the past 3 years and needed a baby body makeover. I feel stronger, thinner, tighter, and have better posture thanks to Pilates. Love my instructor Rachel. She works with each person during her classes to insure we are maintaining proper form not only to avoid injury but to get the most out of our workouts. She challenges us each week to continue building our strength and endurance. Oni Fitness is Awesome!

I just completed my 3^rd TRX session at Oni Fitness in Smyrna, GA. I purchased a GROUPON sometime last year and waited until the very last week to use it (not sure why, but I tend to do this). My assessment of TRX and Oni is as follows–
If you are looking to try out the trendiest fitness class featured on Real Housewives of …, this class is not for you. If you are looking to elevate your workout (literally and figuratively) YOU NEED TO TRY THIS CLASS!!! If you like small group sessions with an individualized feel, try this class! If you want to feel immediate results, try this class! If you aren’t afraid to SWEAT, try this class!
Now on to ONI Fitness…
Oni Fitness provides a very relaxed environment. To be completely fair, I have only attended the TRX classes with Will but I assume my assessment to be true for the other classes and instructors as well. Will sets up all of the TRX suspension ropes prior to the class. For exercises where you need other equipment (i.e. yoga mats, kettle bells, exercise balls, etc), he sets them up while you are doing a different exercise. Although I work out regularly (3 – 4 times a week, Zumba, light weights, Kickboxing, elliptical), I found this class to be challenging! Within the first 5 minutes of class, I knew I would be sore the next day. I was WRONG! I felt it impact of the workout only hours later! The difference this time was that it wasn’t painful, but it felt productive. After class I felt like I had really worked out! Not to mention the sweat that literally dripped off of my body during the workout.
The next 2 sessions were equally as amazing! I was really impressed with Will and the attention he was able to provide all participants (class sizes up to 10). He gave different variations of exercises for added intensity, advanced/​beginner levels, and injured participants. If you weren’t doing something right, he corrected you. I am big fan of Will!
When it comes to local deals (i.e. groupon, half off, etc) many of the fitness establishments in Atlanta seem to be overwhelmed with the influx of customers and it would appear the level of service is not up to par (customers are treated like a number). However Oni Fitness and Will have it down pat.
I’ll definitely be back for more TRX and I want to try the Yoga Reformer classes too! I hope Oni Fitness decides to do another deal, I’ll be sure to snatch up as many as I can!
TIP: Call before you show up, they have equimpment limits but try to accomodate all.
You have to check in next door at the spa and get a token for the instructor.
