Private Workout Two

This is the perfect place for a person who wants to get fit, and feels a little self conscious, and needs to be held accountable!
Highly recommended. Jeep is amazingly encouraging, and there is not a person who walk in he smiles to and is proud of for being there.
My workout can take 25 minutes and I am ready to go! Please give this a try!

WARNING: Don’t waste your time, effort or money. You WILL be disappointed. My $ 19 Groupon was with Plano facility. Be prepared for all locations to add some lame-​assed $ 1.57 charge to your credit card when they ask you to provide same for verification. Equipment is no different than any gym. If you’re self conscious about your weight and prefer privacy, this human maze is for you. Reminds me of testing mice in a maze testing for disease in lab. You’re prompted by a male pre-​recorded voice to «GO» from room to room. Orientation is not orientation; its 90% sales pitch. My appt with location mgr/​so-​called personal trainer was horrible. Woman had zero personality. Her presentation sucked, as well as her attitude.

I love this place! Its exactly what i needed in a gym. Its a great workout program. I bought it on groupon for $ 19 n didnt know what to expect. Its basically a 14 room obstacle. The machines are in each rooms with closed doors and a giant mirror in each. On your first visit, youll meet with one of the personal trainers and he will give u an evaluation sheet and go over all of the machines with you, including what weight is good for you. After that, your set to start your personal «private» workout! Its great for losing and toning your entire body in 25 – 30 mins! Oh and no worries about waiting arnd for your favorite machines or ppl bugging you while your trying to workout ;)
Ps idk know about the past (with all the bad reviews). I would give it a second try. The certified personal trainer/​manager, Jeep, is awesome and is very helpful. He has great energy and is there to help u reach your goals. Be thumbs up !!!

The concept of the gym is pretty neat and I understand how it could be an effective workout for a lot of people. I do think the «gut buster boot camp» line they use to get you in can be a little misleading, as there is nothing boot camp based about it. I do acknowledge that it is quick and structured and provides a very thorough workout.
I also would like to point out that the hours and location of this gym are not very convenient. I wish it was open earlier and closed later, as I had to rush from work to get there before it closed and search for parking since it was peak shopping center hours.

I can’t believe there are so many bad reviews about this place. I got a groupon to here for me and my boyfriend and we love it! I was only able to do the 6 week gut buster camp because I had to go back to college after christmas break. However, my boyfriend lives in the area, so he signed up for a gym membership here and he goes very frequently now. The main guy who works here, Jeep, is very helpful, nice, and an excellent trainer! The memberships they offer are very affordable and the workouts are quick and very effective!

Wow, HORRRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE ! I’d give it a zero if I could. I called the office about a $ 30 over charge for the month of December.
They called ME back and said I should have known about the over charge and then HUNG UP on me while I was explaining how I was DEFINITELY unaware of any such charge. The rep claimed he was a trainer and doesn’t know what I’m talking about, but they charge $ 30 on Decembers for processing fees. OK, you called ME Back GUY, don’t tell me you don’t know what I’m talking bout, tell me I’m wrong and then hang up on me!
I was also scheduled for a 30 min block for my first appt. I was 5 minutes late and my trainer took off, scheduled me as a no show and made me reschedule.
Not to mention the horrible hours, you are a gym that pretty much isn’t open on the weekend??? I am not going to post anything about the facility itself I would rather wait to talk to a REAL representative first about their service. Or lack thereof…

Love this gym! I originally bought a Groupon to this gym but since have continued on as a member. After 100 workouts your membership is $ 3 a month forever. Stoked that I’ve finished my 100 workouts and even happier that I love going every morning even after the 100 mark.
I’ve seen amazing results in a healthy way. The equipment is so nice and easy on your body. You get an effective workout in a short time period.
I recommend Private Workout to everyone I know.

I love that I can get an effective workout in 30 minutes on the days that I don’t have time to go run. It’s a rather efficient method for resistance training. I don’t go as often as I should, but I get a good workout in when I do go! It CAN get monotonous because it’s the same routine every time, but the results and efficiency more than make up for that. With the fit 100 contact, after you reach 100 workouts, your monthly premium is only $ 3! I’m still working on getting to that 100^th workout ;)

Great service and awesome staff. 30mins get in, get out and get results. Absolutely love the trainers that keep me motivated and always remind me about nutrition and to drink my PROTEIN!

Fred, Just think… if…instead of copying and pasting a pre written long drawn out blurb that totally ignores all these legitimate reviews by people who were looking to patronize your business, what if you took it to heart… You could make that whole shopping center your facility… you have the potential… but instead, you are reinforcing that what all these people are saying is true. Over and over again.

Decided to give this place a shot. Bought a living social deal for an 8 week gut buster boot camp. The first 2 «personal training» sessions were basically a sales pitch and a walk through of the machines. They hand you a chart and send you on your way. Same routine every time. Can become very redundant. After week 4 a few machines were out of order. This lasted for 2weeks and then they were fixed. At least for another week. Then they seemed to be broke again. Very frustrating. Their logging method to get up to your 100 classes for the price break is a joke. I got snapped at for changing my number higher because I had forgotten in a past few workouts. Asked me if I was trying to cheat. Not cool. Wanted to cancel completely but they charge you way more than you probably realize. No deal at all. Worst customer service. If you ask for help and aren’t scheduled for a PT session forget about it.
It’s a smart concept in some ways but it’s a scam for sure when you try to cancel. I finally managed to get my account frozen because I didn’t have the $$ to fully cancel. It’s like hotel California there. You can check in but you can never leave… not without paying a small fortune. Not cool. Seek other places that help you and don’t scam you. I’ve lost more weight and gained more muscle buying my own weights and researching free workouts on YouTube. Much more satisfying experience and ALOT CHEAPER. Don’t let those good deals they offer fool you. You’ll spend the rest of your life trying to pay them off.

If I could give it a zero I would, TERRIBLE customer service. When I called to cancel at 10:45 am mind you the lady said she couldn’t find my information because she wasn’t by a computer so I asked her to give me a call back and she said I can’t I’m driving. REALLY? then what’s the point of her job. She was not helpful at all and just said submit your cancellation online and if it doesn’t work just redo it before the 25… wow.
About the gym– Very limited hours, so if you have a job it will be almost impossible to workout before or after work. Although the workouts are decent you feel very rushed while doing them because the next person is waiting to pounce on your station. Don’t even bother buying the groupon or even think about paying full price for any of their products. I would rather pay triple the amount for a real gym membership.

Timed exercises leaves me dizzy and feeling awful. Got checked out by my doctor, who put me under his care. Since then I have been battling with them to cancel my contract, and complete the impossible task of jumping through fire hoops for cancellation. They obviously dont care about the customer. Anything for a buck should be their motto. Very sad that on top of my medical stuff, Im having to deal with them in this manner.

IT’S NOT A BOOT CAMP! IT’S NOT A BOOT CAMP! IT’S NOT A BOOT CAMP!
OK, now that we’ve got that out of the way…
This is a circuit training gym. All but one of the circuit machines are behind closed doors: you’re given a program and one training session, then it’s your job to go through each machine. By the time you’re done, you’ve been there maybe 40 minutes, but you are properly exhausted (assuming you put in the work.) It’s a pretty great system. I’m on the ‘Fit 100′ plan, where you pay around 35 bucks a month until you hit 100 workouts, at which point it drops to 3 bucks. I’m on workout 70 and counting, and I’m seeing results. Of course you need to eat well, count your calories and take your protein, but if you do that, you’ll see results, too.
For such a short amount of time you get through a *lot* of work, and the staff is really friendly, too. It’s usually the one guy there and he’s very encouraging, and he answers your questions if you need help. But really, if you’re self-​sufficient, you can just show up, work out, and be done in well under an hour — ideal if you lack time but want to work out hard.
As well as the circuit machines there are a few cardio machines (bikes, treadmills) that seem to be used by a minority of customers. Just like the circuit, you can show up and hop on these whenever you want.
Only reason it’s not getting five stars is that the weekend hours suck (closes early afternoon on Saturday; closed Sunday.) If they could address that it’d be five stars all the way. I’ve also seen people complain about the weekday evening hours but as I work out during the day that’s not a problem for me (I couldn’t tell you what they are.)
If you’re looking for a more varied workout, a boot camp, serious weights/​gains, or 24-​hour service, you should look elsewhere. But if you want a quick, effective, consistent workout then this is a great place to do it. I am very, very happy with my membership and even after I hit 100 I’ll still be going!

I have not had a good experience with this establishment from the beginning. I came in with a Living Social deal and thought I would receive a nice trial of the facility and then be given the option to join.
Instead, I received a half-​assed fitness assessment by a trainer who was distracted by answering phones and other people’s questions.
At the end of the assessment, I was also put on the spot and pressured to join that day or lose the special rate pricing. I felt forced into the agreement and not at all like I had received any kind of attention or «trial» of the facility.
I’m sure the volume of business was a factor in this poor service, but I don’t think businesses should participate in these deals unless they can maintain a quality level of service. The establishment has remained seriously under staffed.
As I continue to work out there, albeit sporadically, I often get comments of «Wow, you’re here» and «Long time, no see» instead of encouragement.
Also, I was doubly charged this month and the business office explained it by citing a mystery clause in the contract saying there is a $ 25 «processing fee» every December, as if my $ 35 a month isn’t enough.
I remain unsatisfied with my experience and am sorry to say that I will continue to work out there because I am stuck in a contract with a $ 200 canceling fee.
P. S. The hours are so unfortunate. Closed on Sundays and stop allowing people in at 7:30 pm during the week. Terrible.

Worked out here for a while… enough that I met the requirements for the workout plan and now just pay $ 25 a year to use the facility. it’s a very simple, closed circuit gym. If you need a full service gym, this is not the place for you, so don’t write bad reviews simply because they don’t offer more. Not fair to the business.
I still actually have a membership to another full service gym because they don’t have everything that I need here.
What they do have is GREAT though… a timed, 25 minute workout that works out your entire body very quickly. Optional cardio at the end. However, as they told me from the beginning, if you do the workout the way it is intended, there is no need for cardio at the end because you should be out of breath, ready to stretch, consume some protein and be on your way.

Major disappointment! I had a groupon — and the trainer I was suppose to work with was awful. Because I arrived 5 minutes early before my appt he took the time to be rude, said I couldnt use the bathroom because I wasnt a paying client, etc.
I am going to attempt to use my Groupon at the Plano location and hope for a better result.

Think twice before you sign up for this place or buy one of their groupons. I bought their living social and then got lured into their Fit100 plan which locks me at $ 25/​mo until I reach 100 workouts. Then the rate drops to $ 3. Money is a motivating factor so I thought it would keep me committed. Well… here’s my review:
The good:
— If you’re a creature of routine and/​or habit, this place is great. Same timed workout every time with worksheets that guide you through the process so that you are progressively increasing your weights. Keeps you on task.
— At least one trainer is there all the time. Free for questions or personal sessions (additional fee).
— Many locations and they are looking to expand.
— Most of the trainers are very friendly and motivating.
The bad:
— The newest trainer (a jacked up dude who doesn’t look able to touch his head) si very rude. He attacked me about going down in weights by 10 lbs. Even after I told me that was due to a leg injury, he continued to badger me in front of his client and the other members standing in the gym.
— It gets boring and repetitive.
— Cardio «area» is small and old. TV in that area is hard to see and old. Only 2 treadmills so don’t bother planning cardio during peak times.
— Slim hours. They open at 8am. So, what about the rest of the world who works and wants to workout in the morning. And they are closed sundays.
— 100 workouts seems do-​able but think it through. Thats almost 1 year if you go once every 3 days. I knew this when I signed up but I’m getting bored of the same thing every time I go.
So, in conclusion, without this new trainer, I would give PW 3 stars. Its ok in every aspect. But this new guy doesn’t get it. I hope the trainers at the other locations aren’t anything like him.

Purchased a Living Social deal for this gym, a 2 month membership of their workout. I am a total newbie when it comes to weightlifting, I have no idea how to rack up weights, how many reps to do, and I have no idea what the machines do! So imagine yourself in the shoes of a very confused girl who never does strength training.
To start off, it was very easy to set up an appointment online — the calendar is easy to navigate and you pick a 2 hour block that works to your schedule. When I arrived at the gym, I was immediately greeted by the personal trainer, Rhea, who was very friendly, explained the concept of the gym, showed me some success stories, personalized my goals, and even gave me personal nutrition tips. She really knew her stuff.
Next, she took me through the circuit. Private Workout is consisted of a weights circuit, basically all types of machines where you get a full body workout in – arms, legs, core, back, shoulders — they all get worked! The music cues you when it is time to move on to the next machine. What I loved about this was that no one can see your «workout face» when you’re struggling and grunting with the weights. Rhea took me through the first time so I would know how each machine worked and how to adjust accordingly. The one complaint is that she did not watch my form as closely as I would have liked (being a newbie, I’m sure my form slipped from time to time.)
You track your workout on a piece of paper that you carry with you each time you come do a circuit. This has a formula on it so you know exactly how many reps and how much weight you are doing every time. To me, this was the most helpful because like I said, I have no idea what I’m doing.
I noticed after a few weeks I looked leaner overall, and I definitely felt stronger. Strength training is extremely important to be healthy, one can’t just slap together a 30 minute elliptical or run anymore and expect to look lean.
Why am I no longer a member? Honestly, the price of membership is pretty high (for me), and unfortunately, I cannot afford a primarily weights-​only gym as my solo gym. I can join a regular gym and get more bang for my buck, so to speak.
I definitely recommend trying this place out. You learn a lot and see big improvements in your physique.

Well since they think I’m «bogus» I’ll divulge more information. The email response I received was from «Edith», their «Office Manager» who I mistakenly called «HR Lady»:.
My previous review:
«The hr lady is rude. They charged me $ 350 for personal training that I didn’t want, but was hidden in the contract. I emailed and they said, sorry, we don’t do refunds. Oh and I’ve gained 5 lbs.»
Fred J.‘s comment on my review:
«We consider this a bogus review. We have no „hr lady“ and we have no agreements with hidden charges, and working out does not make you gain weight. We challenge this person to identify themselves and produce proof of this outrageous claim.»
Wow, their customer service astounds me…
