Very good workout! Jasmine the front desk girl was super helpful and answered all my questions. The facilities are clean and well stocked with everything you need you honestly don't need a gym bag unless you are changing clothes to go to work. During the class they have another assistant trainer to help correct your form and motivate you. I will definitely be going back!!!

I love how the staff at BLAST does all the thinking for me, with scientifically-based workouts designed to maximize my personal overall output, while allowing me to gauge the intensity level that's best for me. The dynamism of each class keeps me pushing far beyond where I would get in a workout by myself, even in the lowest BLAST threshold. They give great instruction on form and moving back and forth from cardio to resitance and strength training keeps me engaged throughout the full hour.

It's intense but fun. They fit a lot into the hour that you are there and you feel energized after. Clean facility, nice people.

First and foremost... you may want to brace yourself because this is going to be a looooong review but TOTALLY worth the details.
So lets start with the good stuff... PROS!
Facilities: The gym is in a stellar location, it is extremely well kept. Both the interior as well as the exterior are ALWAYS clean. I see the assistants cleaning the equipment as I am on my way out which totally puts my mind at ease. The bathrooms?? AMAAAAZINGGGG. It is fully stocked with towels, hair spray, blow dryers, flat irons, lotions, shampoo, body wash, conditioner, pretty much the whole kitchen sink. This was a huge bonus for me because I go to work immediately after so to not have to carry all that extra stuff around is absolute perfection.
Staff: Everyone here is so damn nice!!!! I even got a holiday card with a coupon in it! The front desk people are ALWAYS pleasant, the assistants who help the trainers during your workout are ALWAYS on point. They even know my name which makes me feel all special. I love how they really pay attention and they refill my water bottle, get me lighter weights when they see I am having trouble, and lower place my treadmill at the proper incline all without me even having to ask. And when it comes to the assistant Caleb, double bonus because he is fine as hell. Who doesn't want to get their water refilled or be greeted by some nice eye candy?
Trainers: Absolutely A M A Z I N G. I have not had every single trainer that BLAST has to offer, but I can definitely vouch for the trainers I have had.
Justyn: My motivation. Just a fine tall light skinned Adonis, looking like a venti caramel frapp! But on a serious note, he is a good trainer, his choice of music keeps me pumped, he is motivating but does not want you to over exert yourself which is awesome.
Joel: F I I I N N N E E E as I don't know what. I heard he teaches class with his shirt off but I he definitely had one on when I took his class lol. He is my second favorite trainer. One thing I love about him in particular is that he sooooo full of energy and life! He literally is jumping around, pumping the class up, and he actually does the floor work WITH you as well as counts, instead of just showing the quick demonstration which is very beneficial. Grrrreat music choice as well.
Sarah: My absolute favorite trainer. She calls me by my name which makes me feel like an actual someone, and she is NOT afraid to come over and correct your form, as well as tell you how great of a job you are doing. She also adds a bit of banter in her class and is extremely personable so you actually connect with her a bit during the workout. I also found I do the best in her classes because she always says to just push yourself a little bit further which results in me going a little bit faster on the treadmill or getting just a few more reps in on the floor.
With that being said, now for the CONS.
Scheduling: This is probably my only issue with BLAST. They have changed the schedule twice in the last 2 months. So first when I came, the times for classes was different everyday which was extremely inconvenient, then they changed it to where it was cohesive from day to day, and the 9a class fit absolutely perfect with my schedule; it had the trainers I wanted and gave me enough time to still get to work on time afterwards. Now, they are moving it to a 9 30 class, which is a major inconvenience to me and I am sure to others as well. They do give you a heads up in advance, but I wish they would like send out and email or take a survey or something to see what is best.
In conclusion, I think BLAST is an awesome gym and I am NOT a gym person. Here I do not feel intimidated or rushed or like just another number. It is a very friendly and intimate experience, and an awesome workout. I am seeing and feeling changes that I never thought I could thanks to BLAST. Sign up!

I called this morning at 10am to cancel my spot for the 11:15am class, due to an injury I sustained this morning preventing me from walking or running without pain. The receptionist said there would be a cancellation charge. I asked if the class was full and she said no. So I asked why I would be charged for if I wasn't taking a spot away from another participant, she replied with that's just our policy. This is a ridiculous policy, especially since I am paying an exorbitant price to be a part of this fitness center. There was no business lost by my cancelling so why should I be forced to pay a fee? This will really make me think twice before buying another class package with this company.
