4 reviews for The Fitness Guru
I used to be a member at NYSC until I couldn't stand it. I walked into The Fitness Guru and was pleasantly surprised to see the obvious level of expertise, wisdom, and understanding about the realities of working out that permeates the studio. The pilates is awesome and the classes are a main draw.
Michael and Lawson (the husband and wife team) are awesome instructors and people. They used to host a show on Sirius radio.
If you're looking for a place to workout in Brooklyn, look no further.
Also, their website isn't just a gym website, it's a freaking information resource. This place is the real deal, with very little bullshit.
I didn't give 5 stars only because I haven't personally taken any group classes yet, but this place is great.
The staff are super friendly, I do personal pilates training and it is outstanding. When I'm there I've seen some of the classes going on and they look like a lot of fun, especially the trampoline class, I need to try that.
Definitely check it out.
Life-changing, seriously. I'd never been able to commit to a fitness routine until I found the Guru. I took my first class (Mandi's "Pilates Mandi" class) in February 2008 and I never looked back.
I'm constantly amazed by the amount of positive change the Guru has affected on my life. My body is stronger, my health is better, my sleep is deeper, my skin is clearer, my mind is sharper--and it's not just because of the classes or the equipment or the training sessions. It's the atmosphere and the aura and the people. Lawson, Michael, Mandi, Ashley, Alicia, and all the other trainers and staff--I can't speak highly enough of them. From them I receive a constant stream of motivation, encouragement, and inspiration, not only for my physical fitness but for my overall well-being. I get a sense of absolute support, which is something you need when you're burning 450+ calories an hour bouncing on a personal trampoline just as much as you need it when you leave the Guru and try to make your way through life.
And lord, my a** has never EVER looked better. :)
The Fitness Guru keeps me going. It can keep anyone going. Take a class; schedule a personal training session; download their fitness circuit playlist and rock out on the treadmill. Just join. I mean it. Join.
It looks that like most other reviewers of the Guru, I too am a huge fan. Personally, I think the Guru has something for everyone. Years ago, when I had far more time on my hands, I was able to work out frequently and kept in excellent shape. However, work and family demands had all but completely put an end to that for me. Fortunately, Michael and Lawson are incredibly skilled trainers AND motivators. Not only have they helped me get back into great shape, but I've really improved my form and posture (I had never actually worked Pilates before), and I have tons of fun there, too. I'm now a Guru groupie for the long haul!
