I have never felt stronger in my life. I love Group Power for strength training and Group Groove for fun cardio. I love that I can be in person with an amazing crew and also Zoom in on days I can’t make it in person. Love it here!
This is THE most welcoming gym I have ever been to! The group classes are high energy and high support, with lots of expert modifications for each exercise. I know I’m getting excellent, experienced training in a safe, inclusive space. ♥️
Just had the most wonderful massage with Leigh at the new Jiva Fitness location! Because she has a fitness background, she really understood how to target sore muscles for recovery and relaxation. Highly recommend!
I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about this incredibly special gym. I have a hard time sticking to an exercise routine and find accountability really important and helpful. For me, the BEST things about JIVA are the supportive and expert instructors and the wonderful sense of community they provide with their members, who are all friendly and down to earth. At this gem of a gym, you are NOT a number. You are always greeted hello and asked after every workout how things went. Being a member at Jiva feels like you are part of a family. The instructors are SO knowledgeable and caring, and most importantly, make the workouts really fun! There are also so many different classes to choose from, and they provide workshops and other events to keep members engaged. Another great benefit is the instructors will offer lots of tips for folks who need adjustments. If, for instance, someone struggles with shoulder or back injuries, they will ALWAYS give alternate exercises. I believe a gym like this is a rare find and I am so grateful it’s in my hometown! XO
Some may say this review is brought to you by a wicked game of bingo; and to that I say: true! 😺 (And that’s a bingo!) 😺Just one of the fun things you may do as a member here.
Nonetheless, this is very much my honest review, which anyone who knows me has heard me say or share in comments across social media in recent months already.
I have known about Jiva for many years and never thought it was for me until the beginning of this year, when I had reached a point in my fitness and weight management goals where my old bike, swim & gym winter routine at the YMCA wasn’t cutting it any longer. I needed new motivation and guidance. I signed up for a free trial jiva power class to test the waters and by the end of it I knew I would give it at least a 1 month try. My monthly membership allows me to practice all of the classes they offer so needless to say I wanted to experience them all. Now several months into my membership with Jiva I’ve really come to enjoy these workouts, the convenience of being able to sometimes even quickly join via zoom on vacation or from home, smaller group sizes, judgement free exercise environment for all abilities and the energy I gain from all of it daily.
From Jiva group power to centergy, aerial yoga, an occasional boot camp morning as my now regular routines to sprinkled in fun groove, a roll-it workshop or extra core sessions, each class comes with wonderful unique instructors who will offer guidance and modifications but also are just very genuinely themselves.
My weight management doc has been impressed how I’ve been losing 40+lbs since January all on my own but the truth is, back in January I was far from this motivated to work out as many days a week as I am now with Jiva.
My body has been thanking me with much greater mobility, strength and endurance which has translated into longer and better mountain bike rides, better climbing and ability to clear obstacles and features on the trails or more technical terrain. I even felt confident enough to race for the first time in years.
If you’ve been picking up and putting down weights at the gym without much results and even bigger confusion on what to do, put them down a last time and try a month at Jiva instead. If you haven’t worked out at all and are looking for a place to start again; Jiva is your new home! Then get a massage with Leigh, you won’t regret it!
