Really enjoyed today’s workout. There wasn’t as many people in attendance but it made it a more 1 on 1 type of experience with the coach and other athletes and even higher camaraderie than usual. Today was more upper body focused and Carina spent time with each person and I was able to pick her brain a bit in the strict press and picked up a few bits of information that made the lift feel better and add a little more weight than I was expecting. Carina pushed us and we were even able to get a bonus round in at the end: overall the gym is a 10/10, it can be humbling and an ego check at times which is great, whenever I’m thinking that I have things figured out, I get hit with a new exercise that whips my ass and makes me want to work harder. I love the style of workouts and nothing is ever stagnant and the programming is on point. I’ll be back tomorrow.

Holly is always fun and helpful during every session. She takes the time to watch your form closely and makes modifications for your fitness level, whether that means adjusting the weight or suggesting alternative moves. Her energy keeps the workouts engaging, and she notices when you’re struggling or ready to push a bit harder. I always feel supported and challenged in just the right way, which makes a big difference in staying motivated. It’s clear she cares about your progress, and that personal attention makes 540 Fitness stand out from other gyms.

Tammy encourages me to push myself so that I maintain certain gains and so I can strengthen other gains. I am stronger than I have ever been. Following each class, I am better prepared for any difficulties or inconveniences life may bring my way. Today for example, I was criticized by a former friend. Fine, I thought in my head, I completed 30 back squats this morning!😏

I attended both the Performance and Strength and Conditioning classes at 540 Fitness after coming back from my trip abroad. I missed this place not only for the workouts but also for the 540 Fitness members. They have truly become my second family, and that connection motivates me to keep pushing myself to become the best athlete version of myself. At the same time, it inspires me to encourage others to reach their achievable fitness levels at the gym. Coach Jessica always makes the workouts fun and challenging; her energy fills the room and keeps everyone engaged. Meanwhile, Coach Jerod carefully develops the programming, balancing intensity and variety so each session feels fresh and purposeful. Today, Jessica coached me to do the full movements of the burpees because she knows I want to be a full-time performance athlete. She pays close attention to my form, offering guidance and encouragement every step of the way. Jess not only cares deeply for me but also for every single person who walks through the doors at 540 Fitness. It is so great to be back with everyone again.

Tammy is a great instructor. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to every class, and she’s always ready to help by offering clear guidance and thoughtful adjustments. Whether it’s correcting form or suggesting modifications to fit different abilities, she makes sure everyone feels confident and supported throughout the workout.

The energy in the room is something special. Everyone is genuinely rooting for each other, creating a strong sense of community that makes each session motivating and enjoyable. You can feel the encouragement in the air, which pushes you to keep going even when the exercises get tough. It’s a great environment that balances challenge and support perfectly.

Facility - First impression as a new comer was great. Was welcomed and staff immediately greeted us when we walked in. Check-in process easy and facility was very clean. Mats were clean and weights and equipment organized. Time management - Attended the 9am class and started exactly at 9 and ended right at 10. Coach Tammy did a great job with warm up, briefing of the workout, and getting members set up. Coaching- Coach Tammy had great command presence. She was able to take a technical movement and simplify it to the ability of the athlete. She had very good time management, verbal cues, and was very engaging. Refreshing to get solid coaching and not have someone just tracking the time. Coach Tammy seems to be very knowledgeable and experienced in coaching. Vibe - overall a great vibe for a gym. Members were very welcoming and everyone was encouraging.

Fun class this morning at 9 am, especially since it was my first class in 2 weeks after being sick, too busy, etc. Carina is great about going around and helping everyone with their form - she is always watchful so that everyone is safe during the workouts and gently pushes everyone to get through to the end! Only 2 pieces of feedback - nothing to do with any coaches. 1. It would be nice to consistently have open gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays after the 6 am classes. I miss attending Foundations and would like to do that plus my extra programming without having to come back to the gym in the afternoons. I know there's a large gap between 6 and 9 am classes - AND I guess I can come at 5 am to get the extra programming in lol... probably not happening! But that 7 am is a sweet spot to get extra workouts done. At least for me! 😆 2. There was one Thursday morning after the 6 am class in which 4 people had to take showers before going to work, etc. Caused a bit of a backlog. I do worry that I might end up going to the gym in the morning and have to wait for a shower which may end up making me late - or I might hold someone else up! If the gym membership grows, it might be nice to have an extra couple of showers - not sure if the waiting for the showers is a big issue or not. Might just be me! Thanks for all you're doing to continue to keep this gym the already awesome place that it is!

Coach made useful suggestions throughout the session, pointing out small adjustments to my form that really helped me get more out of each exercise. What stood out was how the coach didn’t just offer advice and walk away - they followed through by checking in regularly to make sure I was comfortable and doing everything correctly. That ongoing attention made me feel supported and confident, especially when trying new movements. It’s clear the coach cares about both safety and progress, which made the workout feel productive without being overwhelming. This kind of hands-on guidance is exactly why I keep coming back to 540 Fitness.

This was my first class back in a gym setting in a while, so I felt a little rusty at the start - my muscles weren’t quite remembering all the moves. But the members at 540 Fitness were incredibly welcoming, greeting me with smiles and encouragement. The class had such a good vibe, with upbeat music and a steady rhythm that kept everyone moving together. The coach was very thorough, taking time to explain each exercise clearly and demonstrating proper form to make sure no one was left guessing. Their fun personality made the session enjoyable - they kept the energy light and motivating, cracking jokes between sets and cheering us on in a way that made the workout fly by. Overall, it felt like a supportive, energized space that made getting back into the groove something I actually looked forward to.

All the coaches are SO knowledgeable and will make your day every time you go. I never worry about who the coach is because I know I can trust them to help me and encourage me. The members of this gym are next level, too. I’ve never met such supportive people. Everyone is there to be the best and healthiest version of themselves, but support everyone else on their journey as well. I could come into this gym not wanting to work out, in a bad mood, too focused on what’s going on outside of the gym, or whatever else, but I ALWAYS leave in a better mood.

Jess was so helpful! She made modifications where I needed them. The workout was challenging without being too difficult. Jess reminded me to eat something before the workout to keep from getting dizzy. Looking forward to coming back!

I struggle with stringing double unders together but Julia gave me some on-the-fly tips which helped. I appreciated her giving me feedback both during and after my double under attempts. Realtime feedback from a coach like this is so valuable when trying to learn a new skill.

Jess creates a fun and energetic vibe during the work out coupled with a deep knowledge of the proper mechanics of the various exercises. Sometimes the difference between doing a movement correctly or incorrectly can be very subtle and she is adept at pointing that out. She has improved the efficiency of my work outs and has made me understand the pacing much better. An added bonus is that she may show you an awesome dance move during the work out.

Absolutely loved it! I haven’t seriously worked out in a good 40 years..at least as far as strength training goes. I apologize I forget the coaches name but the middle name was Raye. I’m torn as maybe I’m biting off more than I can chew with the Strength and Conditioning class. I think im going to start off slowly with the Foundation classes..give that a whirl for a month then maybe bump up. I told my wife about it and I think she would really enjoy it as well. The feel-good community feel is exactly what I was hoping for. Maybe email some info on the sign-up process for the Foundation Class. Thanks again..nothing but positivity here and will spread the word
