Negative Feedback keeps me away!

by VeronicaSantaMonica at Citysearch

From what I have read, the negatives seem to at least equal if not outweigh the positive feedback of this place. I will definitely stay away. Sounds like the owners have abuse issues and take them out on their clients. Also sounds like they are harder on people than people are on themselves.

• Pros: FIRM THIGHS?
• Cons: TOO MANY NEGATIVE FEEDBACKS

by sarahLAspisa at Citysearch

Cynthia and Karyn,

I just want to thank you for everything you have given to me over this last year... renewed energy, a new outlook on health, a renewed confidence, a new body, a new appreciation for gooooood music... among other things!

Because of the encouraging and challenging environment you create I have lost 60lbs so far and i plan on loosing more. For the first time in a long time, i find it fun to go to the gym. I have met so many new people that I can now call friends, who encouraged me along the way. I love how everyone encourages each other! You are generous and giving with your knowledge of the body and health.

its been a real blessing to have you and RPM in my life. this is a long term relationship.

• Pros: amazing music, inpiring and generous owners, awesome people
• Cons: none.

Amazed

by luvs2spin at Citysearch

I've lost 60lbs at RPM Fitness Studio since Sept. 2008. It has been hard work, but with the help of Cynthia and Karyn I have managed to look HOT just in time for summer. I tried going to popular chain gyms (you know which ones) and none of those gyms can compare. These women are very motivational, caring, and determined to make you a work out lover. You will never find another spinning studio like this.

• Pros: Best motivation, best clients, best staff ;)
• Cons: you swear you a$$ off

part of my daily routine.

• Pros: Pushes you to do your best
• Cons: no complaints

No Regrets Just Sweat!

by JohnWood49 at Citysearch

When I spin I sweat like a badger in mating season and sometimes after a "lost" Ray Milland weekend, my bike has the sweet, yet pungent smell of a brewery but I know that after three songs in to an RPM spin workout I'll be as sober as a nun (I assume they're sober). So what am i saying here as I ride headlong into my 60th birthday? RPM Fitness Studio is the absolute tip top place to get into the best shape of your life and meet some terrific people along the way. Come on down and watch the badger sweat!

• Pros: Best Spin workout in the known world

whiners-STFU

by screamingspinnerwhohoo at Citysearch

I first camp to RPM to take Bootcamp. I religiously showed up on time, and worked my tail off. There were always members who were late, didnt show up and complained it was too hard or that the girls were mean.

STFU I say, if you want to be pampered go to a spa. I was the most fit I have ever been in my life during that time. I now take spinning and find a certain warmth and commrodorie with most of the members. When I am gone for a bit they all ask where I have been. I miss my spin pals. Most are so warm and friendly even though we all are really different as individuals from actors to moms to screaming cowgirls like me. I almost hate to say what a great place it is cause then maybe too many people will come and I wont get a bike...:-)

If you love spinning, need one on one training, or need a combo of bootcamp and pilates.. this place is a gem in the valley. RPM rocks!!

• Pros: small boutique atmosphere
• Cons: wished there was still spin/sculp

I SWEAR BY THIS PLACE!

by JeffC at Citysearch

Karen and Cynthia are the perfect combination, helping you get back into shape and taking control of your life again. One of the many great things about this place is that Karen and Cynthia work really hard at getting you to work hard simply because they care. Their passion for healthier living is nothing short of inspiring, infectious and educational. Not only will you lose the weight that you couldn't lose on your own, you will also learn about nutrition and how to listen to your body and it's reaction to what you eat. You will meet many people that are in the same boat as you. This is very important because it also provides a built in support system resulting in a camaraderie amongst one another. You walk out many pounds lighter feeling better about your self then you have done in years and you will do so while gaining a bunch of new friends. RPM Fitness Studio has now become my home away from home. I am living proof because I lost 50 lbs in 10 weeks! That's right 50 lbs!

RPM ROCKS my sweaty SOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by mimichica at Citysearch

WOW! I do not even know where to begin with this but here goes! I am a loyal RPM spinner going on 10 years now. I have tried everything out there from yoga to personal training and this place is far superior to them all. Yes, the owners are tough and Yes the results are worth it...this place is not for the sensitive or thin skinned, there are "gyms" out there for those types who want to go at a snails pace of fitness. If you want fast results or are type "A' in personality, come on down!!! and bring a sweat towel...

• Pros: Great atmoshphere, Awesome vibe, Lots of parking
• Cons: hmmmmm....my sanity when I DO NOT GO!!

The best spin class you'll ever find!

by studiocitymom at Citysearch

Don't believe any of the negative comments written unless you're just not serious about getting in shape. If you are truly serious about getting in shape and can handle hearing the truth about what you need to do, then RPM is for you. Cynthia and Karyn are knowledgeable and motivating. I have been going to RPM for 5 years now and have done Bootcamp (the first time I lost 25 lbs. after my first child), spin classes, pilates, pilates beats and bodybarre. They are all great and every spin instructor is wonderful. You will never find a spin class that focuses more on your form which is the only way you'll see results. There are many choices out there, so if RPM is not for you, then don't come. Not only are the owners and instructors great, but I've met so many nice people there.

• Pros: Owners, instructors, bootcamp, all classes
• Cons: Bootcamp is expensive but worth it - also no classes in the middle of the day.

Rude management, favor random students

by marilyn_mom at Citysearch

The mananagement at this place ruins it; some of the teachers are great (Derrick esp), but the owners inexplicably favor certain students and insult others that are way more fit and better at the class. I don't get it unless they are friends with those people. It creates an atmosphere of hostility and unfairness. It's bizarre.
