First, let me start with the 3 adjectives that describe the Shop best: 1. Intense 2. Deliberate 3. High Quality Instruction focused on personal goals - injury preventionThis is a long review - this small business deserves a true appreciation they place on delivering value!Short Summary: Life changing. JUST TRY IT! Don’t watch, do! Try one class, sign up for a month! And then you will be hooked!I joined The Shop in 2021. I disliked indoor activities, had no gym experience.Day 1: I knew I was going to be learning for life. At the end of day 1, I signed up for a year!Week 1: I am super nervous; I did not know how to do squats, was so nervous I pedaled backwards! 😀😀4 years later, I do the entire class with a different attitude- one that is focused on self-improvement! The culture of The Shop is a community that supports ( such amazing people- too many to name but a few are stellar to keep them private with xx Rebexxx, Heixxx, Nicoxxx, and now new friends made… Aaxxx, Sarxxx… and practically everyone who shares celebrating personal records daily!Coaches Mel, Drew, Ray( no longer at the Shop),Nick were instrumental in major and minor adjustments to how I now, lift, squat, crawl, kettle bell swings(💕), Turkish Get Up( 💕 ), even try the dreaded ab wheel roll out as I still struggle to be active with my core! 😀 here for life! 😀The workout routine has an almost engineered algorithmic progression- the methods, the individual minor and major corrections are all a daily occurrence at the SHOP independent of the coach!It is life changing: I don’t say this lightly. I took a few years to write this; as a woman of Indian origin in early fifties, starting weight training is an unlikely thing! I have been active - hike, tennis, kayak but never had functional strength training in mind.It has been an amazing journey of learning, fitness, confidence building and focus training.My family joined and visiting friends join as well :)JUST TRY IT! Don’t watch, do! Try one class, sign up for a month! And then you will be hooked!
