Luma Fitness cost us $232 per class. Heres why. My wife and I signed up for a year at Luma fitness at the beginning of last year. Luma Fitness limits the number of students per class. You have to sign up. If the class is full, you cant take that class. And the classes are usually full. You can see this for yourself. For example, when I wrote this review on Saturday morning, you can see from my screenshot that every Sunday class that takes place at the gym is already full. (The only available classes are a trail running class -- we already trail run every day and dont need to pay a gym for that -- and a second class thats way above our fitness level.) We work during the day, and want to work out after work. Those classes are the most unavailable, especially the ones at our fitness level. Were very busy, and often had a hard time making time for the gym. But when we did find the time, we found that Luma Fitness classes were already full. Because of that, we were able to attend only 10 classes for the year. We paid them $2,148 and used their gym 10 times. The nightmare continued. Our membership ended at the end of January. You have to give 30 days notice in writing to terminate the membership, which we did on January 6. Yet theyre charging us for the full month of February. We called and argued with them about it, but they were horrible and nasty and insisted that we pay the full month, rather than honor their own contract of 30 days notice. They KNOW we wont be using their gym for the month of February. They KNOW we paid them thousands of dollars without using their service much. But they are just taking our $179 for the month anyway. I guess the $2,148 we paid for 10 classes wasnt enough, so they took more. So now our grand total is $2,327 for 10 classes. Instead of going to Luma Fitness, just flush $20 bills down the toilet twice a week. Youll save money, and youll get more exercise.

I highly recommend Luma. They offer a 2 week free trial...go for it! Ive been going to Luma for over a year now, and its been the best workout/gym experience ever! The instructors are all awesome, very helpful and friendly. They push you hard without being intimidating. They watch and coach your form. But most importantly they mix it up and have fun. No two workouts are alike which keeps it interesting. I do a mix of scheduling classes during the popular times (evenings and weekends), and just dropping in during less popular times (mornings and noontime). The advance scheduling is great because its in my calendar and motivates me to actually attend. Ive attended over 100 classes last year and RARELY had an issue scheduling classes if you do so a week or two out. And when classes have been full, I signed up on the waitlist and Ive almost always gotten in due to others cancelling. The other review claiming they were only able to attend 10 classes during a year is a total joke - you have to really not try at all to attend only 10 classes. I highly recommend Luma Fitness. They offer a 2 week free trial...go for it! Oh, and buck furpees!

I really like several aspects of Luma. 1. You have to schedule your workouts in advance. For me, that means it is in my calendar and other parts of my life do not get to take that time. 2. The classes are small enough for the trainer to observe your work but large enough that you have some autonomy. 3. You take a class, and then get out of there. There are no gym "hanger ons" watching people workout. 4. My competitive streak comes out during class which keeps me from quitting when it is tough. :) 5. That being said, when the exercise is too strenuous for me, there is always a modification I can do. 6. I can do Pull Ups!

Luma Fitness is a great alternative to a conventional gym. The small class size and variety of workouts make it fun and effective. I like the online reservation system. Once I sign up I feel compelled to make the class because it is scheduled into my day. On that note, I usually sign up the day of or just hours before I actually commit to making the gym. If a class is full...I add myself to the waitlist and always get in because of others who have scheduled the class in advance and then canceled. I think this is a great local business and I am happy to support Luma Fitness (and get my butt kicked)!

Good workouts but too much high impact for my arthritis. Very much not happy that they have automatic payments without notifying you. I had stopped going and they kept charging. I assumed they would notify me before charging. Appartently automatic payments are in the contract I signed but I was unaware of it.
