Underground Athlete

I've been a member of Underground Athlete since 2016. I have no idea what the typical membership tenure is for a gym, but I bet it's a lot lower than 5+ years.nnWhat keeps me coming back? Lots of things, but primarily, the coaches. Every coach I've worked with is dedicated, knowledgeable, encouraging, and eager to help you define and meet your personal goals. To be a coach at UA means you are devoted to the complete well-being of others.nnI also enjoy the people I work out with. Members are older and younger, in-shape and working-on-it, a diverse group cultural backgrounds and abilities -- all cheering each other on.nnI encourage anyone who is serious about improving their health to consider UA, whether you want to build muscle, increase mobility, lose weight, improve your mental health, or simply feel better in general.

Just scroll down through these reviews to see how much people love being a part of the UA family. I've been going to UA for three years, and I will never go anywhere else as long as I live in the area. The coaches work with you on your goals, help you work through injuries, and provide a positive reinforcement on health and wellness without being judgmental. They set up plenty of zoom sessions to keep us working out during the pandemic. If you have only been to big box gyms before, try this out. You won't regret it!

This is definitely a special place. During COVID we're never lost a training day. As soon as the order for guns to close we were able to check out kettlebells & bands & some people opted to check out some dumbbells. We were up and running on Zoom the next day. The coaches created 3 training options: bodyweight only, kettlebell/ bodyweight/ bands, or regular gym equipment if you have a home gym. You just Signed up for your Zoom online session & the coach is right there live to watch & correct form. When gyms were allowed to reopen they had everything all laid out for social distancing work out stations. Everything is sanitized & wiped down after each session. Sessions have always been limited to no more than 9 member at a time but now sessions are capped at 6. Ive been going back in person since the beginning of July & feel great & absolutely safe. Temperatures are checked before you enter & there's LOTS of hand sanitizer. Underground Athlete is still doing the online sessions ad well as group training like HITT & Team Training. This is a gym that really cares about the health & wellness of its members & has lots of membership options including nutrition tracking & coaching.

I've been a member at Underground Athlete (UA) over two years at this point, and by far this is the longest I have spent at any gym ever. Over the years I've tried everything out there - from multiple Crossfit boxes to Orange Theory to hole in wall 1 room gyms. Its not that i did not like any of others, but the difference between them and UA has been the coaches and how they work with you. The coaches at UA play a huge part in why the gym has lot of long timers, and their terrific ability to adapt and work with you to make you fitter. I've not felt this stronger or fitter in a long time and I strongly attribute it to UA. Sure you may break a sweat at other places & get a decent workout in, but if you are looking at getting stronger & building enduring fitness over time, then UA is the place to be!

After working out at UA for over a year, I can never go to a commercial gym again. Every cent is worth it. In small-group training, the coaches create custom workouts for accommodate your fitness goals while addressing any functional/injury issues. My only regret is that I didn't start coming here sooner!
