Lean 808

This is exactly the workout I have been looking for to help me finally shed what I can no longer call «baby-​weight» but is now toddler weight!
All of the instructors are motivating, helpful and just enough kick ass to push you through every minute of the one-​hour class. It’s a combo of treadmill work, weights, resistance, heart-​rate monitors and MUSIC!
Membership is totally reasonable, parking is convenient and class times work perfectly for me.
Come check it out you won’t be disappointed!

Hour of Power!
Conveniently park on the street or in their garage for $ 1.50.
Use the main stairway they do not allow entry through the side door directly above the garage.
The receptionist is attentive and provides all information to me as I sign a waiver. She hands me a heart monitor with the name Elsa. Everyone’s heart rate is on a tv screen during the session.
Yay! I get a free week pass. The class is glutes and abs by Maria. She keeps things lively with fun and intense workouts and music. You will leave feeling exhilarating. Look for her on the schedule. I have also taken the arms and abs class that keeps you working.
If you only have an hour to work out this will hit every muscle with just the right amount of cardio. Must try!

Friend brought me along to a class and I really enjoyed it! Not only was it fun, I felt like I got a good workout out of it.
That day, from 6 to 7, my name was Barbie. Or well, that was the name of my heart monitor for that class.
The focus for the day was butt & legs, which are two of my favorite body parts!
The class started off on the treadmill for 15 min doing various running activities. From increasing incline, to increasing speed. We then moved onto the floor to do some weight exercises. Again, it was numerous exercises from deadlifts, burpees, rows, lunges, side lunges, reverse lunges, hip thrusts, planks, crunches, kettle bell swings, etc. After 15 minutes on the floor, we went back on the treadmills to do more cardio. Lastly, we ended the last 15 minutes with final floor/​weight exercises and a little stretching at the end. I enjoyed stretching in the dark. It was a good cool down period and the darkness helped to relax me.
The whole time the screen will show the different color zones you are in. the higher percentage and red zones are what you aim for to burn the most calories and get your heart rate up. The different color zones are gray, blue, yellow, green, red. For me, I’m not in shape so getting my heart rate up and keeping it up was no hard task. However, most of the class.
I was sore the next day… that means I got a good work out or that I’m out of shape.
Although the location seems small, I think it’s the perfect size. There is about 14 benches/​weight stations and 14 treadmills. Their locker room also has toilets and showers!
They offer classes everyday with different concentrations. Try them free for a week!

Tried 2 workouts with Andrea, and they were great. First was Arms and Abs, second was Abs and Glutes. Really worked targeted muscle groups and gave impressive cardio workout on treadmill as well. Andrea is a great trainer and I intend to continue to work out at least once a week at Lean808.

This place is awesome! Went for my first class today and I can see why it is called «lean». It is a very interesting mix of treadmill use and free weights/​body weight exercises that I bet could lean you out and tone you up pretty quick! I was a little off put by the idea of treadmills at first, but it was great, you were constantly changing inclines and speed, and we even did side shuffles on them! Definitely worth a try, they just opened and are letting people come in for trial classes, so what are you waiting for, try it out! I recommend Lauren, she’s found a great combination of supportive and soul crushing that inspires you to work harder! But I bet the other instructors are great. And they have their own parking, so it can’t be beat. Highly recommended.

Unique, Intense, Fun, Unlike any other Workout and…
WATCH OUT FOR TARZAN! Because this Tarzan is about to do a lot of tree surfing to burn some calories. Who’s Tarzan, you ask? Check this out. Before class, we were given heart monitors and mine happened to be named Tarzan. This was a very unique, yet awesome experience for me because during class you’re able to see where your heart rate is and the overall calories you burned. Also, it let me know when I could push myself just a tad further.
The staff was very genuine and attentive. Dave showed me the way to the locker rooms (that are fully equipped with showers and other essentials) and even helped this first timer how to properly use the roller for my achy muscles, from the previous day’s workout. James, the instructor, for the total body workout class tonight was very informative and encouraging, showing us proper techniques as we transitioned to each exercise. The one hour class consisted of 15 minute intervals between treadmill and floor exercises. We did everything from sprints, slams, tricep dips, shoulder presses to running backwards. And of course a lot of various core exercises. We were given a couple 30 second breaks for water, however, majority of the class is nonstop. So be prepared for a great, yet satisfying workout.
Each day focuses on a different set of muscle groups, so make sure to go on their website to reserve a spot for the class you want to attend. There’s some free parking on the ground floor. However, if that fills up, there’s metered street parking out front.
I highly recommend lean808 because who isn’t looking for that quick, yet intense workout that incorporates cardio and resistance training? Well what are you waiting for? Sign up for classes today and I hope to see you there!
HAPPY SWEATING!
