I love WorX! It has been 1 year since I joined, so I count as a regular now. Love it, simple! A common misconception is that WorX is a gym for ladies only! "Classes are not for guys!" Jeeezz! Hahahhahaha... Mistake! Workout routines are very challenging for every level! Find it easy? Pick a heavier weight! WorX regulars are ripped and strong! Men and women alike. I first joined WorX after graduating from law school, taking the bar, and being physically unengaged for too long. During the first class, I was literally dying! I was seeing circles... Yet I came the next day and the day after... It was a battle against myself for my direct benefit. I like WorX family because they motivate me. Thinking of those times when I show up for a workout but not really feeling it. Its self-pity speaking in my head: "Ughhh... I cant do any more pushups in this round. Ill lean on my knees until the countdown!" And then I look to the left (or right), and there is this WorXer owning those pushups! Pumping it! "I want to be strong like him/her! I want to be able to "pump it" just like that!" - thats what gets me going. WorX is the tool in achieving your goals! Use it! The trainers are there to advise and answer your questions. The Challenges get you hooked on a good diet and a workout routine. A 200+ pages Nutrition Guide was such a discovery for me! I learned about hormones and macros and metabolic rates and much more. WorX also offers the InBody machine which outputs your PBF, lean body mass, and other fun things inside your body. Come and try it out!

CONTRACT SCAM - Writing this review after speaking with two neighbors who also confirmed similar experiences. I travel a lot for work and when I first signed up I was in the middle of switching jobs and I didnt know at the time how my schedule would fare with the set workout schedule. I asked for a month-by-month contract with no cancellation penalties. They said they had "just the plan for me" and confirmed verbally that I could "cancel at any time" and have "no penalties". Two months later when I have to move and cancel, they tell me I owe a $400+ CANCELLATION FEE. When I brought up our initial conversation, but they straight up DENIED it ever happened. They told me that I could indeed cancel any time I wanted, but would just have to pay a cancellation fee with it, "not necessarily a penalty". I argued with them for weeks, saying I could provide a letter from my employer etc., but they said I would have to physically move residential addresses before they would cancel the membership for free. I have honored cancellation fees before when I made a bad call to sign up, but this time I laid out my terms clearly and they straight up ignored it and signed me into something I stated I did not want - so this review is about principle after finding out 2 others have had the same situation. Its a good workout routine, but they cancel and change instructors all the time and the challenge levels just arent consistent. I would recommend somewhere else and save the hassle. Orange Theory actually honors their cancellation policies..

I love the WorX! Ive been a member for over a year now. Thats definitely the longest commitment Ive ever made to a gym EVER. I first tried them out via Groupon through the recommendation from a friend. One month later and I was addicted. They helped reshape how I look at fitness and nutrition. I never thought that Id ever be the type of person who has upper body strength! The workouts are awesome, challenging, and never the same. While the workouts can be tough, they show plenty of modifications and encourage you to "do you". There are people who work out there from all fitness levels. There are also many fitness/nutrition challenges throughout the year that you can participate in. Plus they have social outings and volunteering in the local community. They really care about your goals and take the time to get to know you and your story and they hold you accountable to those goals. The environment is very warm and friendly. The instructors are awesome and Maia is the sweetest. Its honestly so much more than just a typical gym. Maia has built an awesome community that Im so happy to be a part of!

The Worx changed my life!!! I was at a place where I had neglected my health and fitness for a couple of years and was at my highest weight ever. I no longer recognized the girl in the mirror. When I walked into the Worx, I found an environment where people were encouraged, supported, and nurtured. You are encouraged to go at your own pace and level but also encouraged to push. "If it doesnt challenge you it doesnt change you." Two years and 60 pounds later, my lifestyle has completely changed and I owe so much of it my Worx family!!

If there are those who saw me changed physically it is them (50lbs on my first yr). Even I am out for few months in between 2 yrs I been in here I can say it is still the one I consider "the one that #Worx". You will gain not only your confidence but a family too, people are friendly, you will never feel awkward or out of place, someone will always talk to you and approach you. The workout is always different every day, they always have #Worx challenges to help you push more and stick on your goal. Worth trying! :)

The Worx is legitimately my home away from home. Everyone there is so welcoming and respectful of one another. All of the staff and trainers are compassionate and patient and knowledgeable. I cant imagine what I would do differently five or six days out of the week. This is the only thing that I ever had in my life that makes waking up at 5 AM totally worth it. This place has given me the ability to find faith in myself and so much meaning through all the connections that Ive made. #itworx

I have been going to The Worx for the past four months, and Ive never felt better. At The Worx, you feel welcome, no matter what you bring with you, and what you hope to accomplish. The trainers are enthusiastic and love working with us to reach our fitness goals. Thanks to Maia, Michael, and the team, Ive reached my target weight, and I am stronger and have more flexibility than before. Im looking forward to challenging myself further and reaching new goals with The Worx.

After searching for the perfect gym for a year, I finally found the worx! The staff is the most supportive group of people Ive come across, ever, and the workouts are designed to kick your butt each day! I love that everyday Im going to be doing something completely different then the day before and that I am in control of my workout! The energy at the Worx is contagious and I leave each day with a smile on my face.

I have been coming to the worx for over a year now and I can say that the classes here are excellent, and yield great results. The fitness coaches genuinely care and are always available to help you with reaching any fitness goals you may have.

Found a deal on Groupon and Just tried this place out and so far its great. Staff is friendly. Prices are pretty decent and there are no penalties if you miss a class unlike other places.
