Dear Speed Racer (see review below):\r
The Buffalo Athletic Club is NOT five minutes away.\r

Ultimate Physique is a great hometown fitness club. The owners are always around, whether working a shift, or just stopping in, and the staff in addition to them is also friendly and helpful. The membership prices are extremely reasonable and towels are always provided, fresh, clean, and AT NO ADDITIONAL COST.\r

I joined about four years ago, and at first was weary about what the clients would be like. (I was overweight and wanted to be comfortable in my surroundings). To my surprise, even the clients are wonderful and friendly. You have all ages, all shapes and sizes and it makes the environment so much better to work out in. Everyone greets you by your name and is there if you need help, but never pushy.\r
\r
As far as classes go, there are a few offered and most are free with membership costs. Pilates you do have to pay for in addition, and that is also for cycling classes.\r

One of my favorite things about the gym is the hours. Ultimate is open at 5:30am on weekdays. This is great for someone who wants his/her workout before tackling a busy day at the office. Also, the gym is open at 8am on weekends, in addition to many holidays for a few hours in the morning. (Great for killing extra calories before the big meal, and helps one deal with stress before that house full of family arrives!)\r
\r
Overall, Ultimate Physique is a wonderful workout facility and the only reason I could ever find myself leaving would be if I had to move out of the area. (And then I wouldn't know what to do!)
