It's a new year, so you're ready to get in shape, right? Unless you are really desperate, (i.e. you have zero fitness knowledge, lack self-respect, RPM is right across the street from where you live and you don't have a car) I cannot recommend this gym. Boot camp is extremely expensive for a group class. The least the instructors could do is show up on time. They don't. Ironically, students who arrive late (later than them?) are charged five bucks or some small yet hypocritical amount like that. And because they just rolled up half asleep and unprepared, they have to make their coffee, which they will then get off the bike they should be instructing you from and drink it in front of you. It appears too much to ask for them to do their personal routine on their own time and then show up ready to teach. It's disrespectful and arrogant and shows a lack of gratitude for their clients. They bring to mind so many "experienced" trainers in Los Angeles who have knowledge of health and wellness and use that to intimidate those who don't, but because they have been in the business of fitness a long time they suffer from severe burnout and lack sincere enthusiasm for YOUR workout. If you ask too many questions they get mean and defensive and resort to bullying tactics which is not the same as instilling discipline. Anyone who pays their dues and shows up 5 days a week at 6 am deserves better. I won't even comment on the "nutrition" aspect of the camp which is a joke. They also take people out of class to "weigh in" which will waste even more of your class time, instead of doing it before or after. They try to cram it all in during what is presented up front as "workout" time. It's not rocket science and of course if you eat healthy and work out 5 times a week for 90 minutes you will most likely see results, depending on what your base line was before you got there.
Pros: working out is better than not working out
Cons: poor quality of professionalism. instructors are burned out.
