7 reviews for The Inner Athlete Personal Training and Fitness Studio
The Inner Athlete, lead by Alondra, ROCKS!
She cares, is passionate, and goes the extra mile to make sure you have a great workout...to the point where is she giving you ALL she has at the 5:30AM Boot Camp or the 6PM class!
Inner Athlete boot camps are great; that is, as pleasurable as exercise can be! I am a current member and I can say that I wasn't the biggest fan of exercise when I first started a few months ago. Each boot camp class is challenging and can seem as though they last forever, although only 45 minutes long. After a few classes and a little "icy-hot", positive results are obvious and you just want to go again and again, just to see how much more your body can change.
Alondra, the owner, is very knowledgeable in many areas of health and fitness; you will be amazed. Her classes seem to be tougher than the other trainers (maybe that's just me!) and she will push you to your limits; but when you finish each class, you'll feel like you've really made a difference in your body. To her credit, she listens to her clients and "sneakily" tailors her boot camps based on the clients attending each class. If you say that you hate running (like me), be prepared to run until you like it. If you complain about your biceps, you'll curl, press and push-up until your "guns" pop! If you "just make a simple comment that you would like flatter abs", be prepared to sit-up, crunch, twist and plank until you see flatness on the horizon. All the instructors and the others in the class are all very encouraging and help to keep you motivated even when you think you just can't do another crunch!
The boot camp schedule is convenient; if you're looking for early morning, there are boot camps at 5:30am. There are camps in the midday and if you're willing to come after a long work day, there are camps after work as well. Each boot camp is designed to challenge the super-fit veterans while also allowing for beginners to build up their endurance. There is a nutrition program available, yoga and zumba classes and personal training as well.
I recommend this boot camp to people who are in shape and want to be in better shape, people who are looking for a change in their workouts, or have exercise-ADD, or people who haven't exercised in years and wouldn't be comfortable in a larger gym setting. So far, I feel great and strong; I've lost 20 lbs, forcibly-gained abdominal definition lines and a "strained" appreciation for running. Oh yeah, and how can't forget the "guns"? BANG!! BANG!!
If you want a fun workout, that's challenging regardless of fitness level, come to The Inner Athlete. Alondra accommodates people like myself (a professional musician with hours exactly the opposite of most people), and designs boot camp classes in a way which gives me a great workout, and does it with a smile! I always have fun at The Inner Athlete!
Is your workout lacking in inspiration/fun/results?? You need to get yourself off the couch and into bootcamp. Alondra and her team offer morning sessions starting at 5:30am -- an ungodly hour, yes, but also a time when it's almost impossible to be busy with anything else!
I have been doing bootcamp for almost a year now and I am still challenged by the workouts -- and although I drag myself in there, I always leave feeling better and ready to take on the day. Her group workouts on Saturday mornings are as fun as they are challenging, with lots serious cardio. The groups are small, the mood is light, people are friendly and there is a good mix of people of varying athletic abilities.
The also offer evening bootcamps, personal training, group classes like step, kickboxing and yoga.
Try it, you won't be disappointed!
The inner athlete is THE place to get in shape. I have done boot camp, Pilate's and personal training. You NEVER leave Alondra without getting an excellent workout.
What sets the inner athlete apart from other gyms is Alondra's expertise and knowledge. She will run a boot camp class with 8 people in it with 8 different fitness levels and be able to keep on eye on each person and modify for their own personal strengths and weaknesses. It's awesome!
Alondra is as good as it gets! She knows her stuff. I'm not super disciplined when it comes to working out or my diet. I find that when I work it out with her on a regular basis (2x-3x per week), I'm more cognizant of my eating habits. I've worked out with personal trainers in the past for 1 hour sessions. I don't have a lot of time and I'm amazed at what she can do in 45 min. She has taught me that I'm much more capable than I had ever imagined. I've recommended several of my clients to her and the feedback has been stellar!
I call Alondra my Celebrity Personal Trainer! I attend boot camp at least 3 times a week, each intense session 45 minutes long. I often find myself looking at the clock only 10 minutes into the workout! I have had gym memberships before and prefer the studio setting so much more. It's personal and gives the trainers and instructors greater opportunity to focus on the individuals form act. Alondra knows how to push you to your limit without being too aggressive. Good form is something that she always stresses and is very important to get maximum results out of each workout (and not ruin your body)! Anyone will see results fast when working out with Alondra. She uses the right combination of cardio and weight training for everyone at any level. I would recommend anyone to attend at least one boot camp session and if your serious about weight loss and fitness you will be hooked! She will be going on tour with me soon so everyone take advantage of her services as soon as possible! :)
