Fitness Edge

I’ve been working out at Fitness Edge for 6 months.
If you want to get in shape and not waste your time, call Fitness Edge. FE offers a variety of options (with varying costs and time periods) that include working out with a personal trainer and attending group boot camp classes. You can do one or the other, or both. My own plan has been to work out with a personal trainer twice a week (with another individual) with access to unlimited boot camp classes.
The personal trainer sessions are designed just for you — so if you have bad knees or back problems or something, they’ll have you do exercises that are safe for you. The workouts are no joke. You’ll be moving the entire time and you’re not doing the same things all the time, so it doesn’t get old. I’ve built muscle and lost weight and don’t regret a second of being sweaty and out of breath while at FE. The personal trainer sessions and classes include a lot of free weights, kettlebells, body weight exercises, etc. They have a large variety of other equipment there — stuff that I don’t know the name of. Barbell with heavy weights things? Big olé thing with bars on it so you can do pullups and use TRX straps and whatnot? Stair climber machines and 2 treadmills.
In the warmer weather, outdoor group classes are offered at Rocky River Park at the beach.
My point is — the classes/​training sessions at FE are challenging and will not waste your time. I am a commitment-​phobe in every sense, and this is the first place I have worked out where I wasn’t nervous at all to sign up for a longer term plan.
It’s a small space. When there are indoor group classes and multiple personal training sessions going on at the same time, it’s a little tight on space. Music is always playing and it’s somewhat loud when the room is full of people.
You can sign up for classes via their online scheduler. Similarly, you can cancel online if you can’t make it to a class.
I’ve worked with trainer Brenda Whalen, and she’s fantastic. All of the staff is friendly and everyone seems sincere in what they’re doing to help you try to achieve your goals.
There’s no parking lot, so finding on street parking in the area is difficult once in a while, but not always.
I thought the pricing was fair in comparison to other places.
If you’re ready to make a life change and get healthy, or tired of your boring gym routine, or not getting the results you want, give FE a chance — whether you’re already in good shape or if you’re a hot mess (like I was).

Great new facility with new exciting equipment that keep workouts fresh and challenging! The trainers know how to push you to your limits and beyond. Great staff and good tunes play as you work out. Don’t expect a lot of time to catch your breath, they keep you moving!
