Urban Fitness Club South Granville

I just started at UF, and all the classes I’ve taken have been stellar. I’ve got a wrist injury and all the instructors I’ve had thus far have noticed and given me modified exercises for movements that could injure my wrist.
I am incredibly picky about where I do my workouts, I went to a small dance studio for awhile that closed down and I just hadn’t found a space where I felt comfortable in yet, and I’ve tried all kinds of gyms, dance studios, etc. I really like the energy of this place, I feel like its laid back and the instructors are respectful. I will continue to go for as long as I live in this area. I would highly recommend Urban Fitness to any skeptical or wary person.

Pretty good teachers and a lot of variety of classes.
The intro deal is a hell of a good deal.
Eric had some intense workouts. For his workouts try to do some extra stretching after his classes to reduce your soreness.

You know when you find a little gem and you kind of want to keep it yourself but you just can’t stop telling people about it… that’s me with Urban Fitness. I’ve been going for 9 months now and I’m still obsessed. After ‘doing fitness’ for my whole adult life (about 17 years) I’ve never found something that keeps me interested, exhilarated and still seeing results physically and mentally week after week. Not only are the classes fun, challenging and innovative, the ‘culture’ of the place exemplified by Eric and the rest of the instructors is supportive and encourages everyone to respect and motivate each other. I love Urban Fitness and if you really want to get your butt kicked and have fun you will too.

great group fitness. All kinds of classes. These are not for the faint of heart. If you want to get your butt kicked, great place to go. Eric is a sweet dude. He won’t coddle you but he will encourage you to so your best. The other instructors are all awesome, live Eric’s classes though. Apparently more earlier classes are being added which is awesome.

Don’t do TRX classes at this location if its your first time.
This is my second TRX class, but my first time at this location with Eric. So I guess I“m relatively new.
The TRX class with Eric was a horrible horrible experience and I can’t say that I will ever return to this location or at least, I definitely will not attend any more classes if Eric is the instructor.
I understand that its a bootcamp type of class but the instructor didn’t take the time to show first timers things like: how to adjust straps, how to do the moves correctly (ie. correct positioning), modified versions. At the beginning of class, one of the ladies told the instructor it was her first time. During the work out, I noticed that she was struggling quite a bit. What shocked me more was the failure of the instructor to make any effort to show modified positions or to make sure people were doing the exercises with the proper form. You would think the instructor would be smart enough to figure out that the ladies in this class were pretty new to TRX, particularly when one of the ladies told him it was their first time.
Also, I noticed that this instructor does the bad kind of boot camp yelling. you know, the kind that puts you down making you feel like a lazy bag of Sh*t and lazy vs. the good yelling that encourages you, helps you strive to be better. I honestly felt like he was putting everyone down in class. Perhaps he was having a bad day. but I really felt for the first timers in this class.
I get it. its a bootcamp. but no one would be able to do the positions he was doing in the TRX class the first time out. would have been a better class I am sure for the first timer if he took the time to show a modified position so they can work their way up to the regular/​advanced positions.
Bottom line. I would not recommend Urban Fitness to anyone who is a beginner to TRX. The way that TRX class runs, you will end up hurting yourself. If you got a groupon deal for TRX. get a refund. Horrible.

I workout regularly on my own… but decided to try a groupon for urban fitness. Little did I know that I would love that extra challenge. I walk home dripping in sweat, but feel euphoric after getting my butt kicked in a kickboxing class!
The instructors are great at what they do and very motivating!

I have been attending this fitness club for a month now. Found a great deal online and decided to give it a try. Urban Fitness has a large variety of classes and all of them have very high quality instruction. I attend Obstaclefit Kickboxing and Obstaclefit bootcamp. It’s a serious buttkicking! Punishment I welcome and need to get this heart pumping! Although I almost threw up my first class, I kept going. I can almost keep up now. Well, not quite… But I still try my best!

Wow, went to my first couple classes at this new location… It’s simply AWESOME! Huge space and intense workout. I’ve been kickboxing for almost 5 years now, and the classes just keep getting better at Urban Fitness. This is their second location, and they’ve raised the bar again! Come test your limits and push yourself! The instructors are amazing, and the classes leave you out of breathe but you’re going to keep coming back for more! Want a challenge… this is where it’s at people!
And the bonus… you’ll meet some great friends here! Sign up today! It’s well worth it!
