via Google Love Sweat440. Heidi and Jonathan are awesome coaches. They gave me really helpful form corrections that made a big difference and kept me motivated the whole workout. The energy is great, the coaching is attentive, and I always leave feeling stronger and accomplished. Highly recommend if you want an efficient workout.

Caitlin Hollidayvia Google Absolutely love this gym! A good mix of workouts, awesome coaches and a great community! I would recommend to anyone who is new to the workout world like I was when I first started, I have learned so much and feel comfortable in a gym for the first time. Not to mention I’ve made some great friends along the way!

Danielle Dvia Google I love this gym so much!! As someone who used to just run or do cardio machines when I I went to the gym, Sweat440 has been so great!! It’s easy to follow along with the instruction via videos and there are coaches to provide support and corrections. Plus, sing able to attend classes in 10 minute increments is amazing…if I’m running 10 minutes late it’s not a big deal, I just hop in the next class as opposed to having to wait for a whole hour. The coaches are great and I especially love the manager, Lana!!!

Shana Dialvia Google We started going to sweat440 about 3 months ago and have made it our weekly routine. Since day 1, Lana, Kelsey, Erdem and Coach Chris have been very supportive and encouraging with every workout. Everytime my husband and I enter sweat440, they kick it off by saying how are you and end it with a fist bump and a see you soon. Since going, I've felt stronger than I ever have before and more confident in my posture. We will continue to keep sweat440 in our routine, I've seen real results even with having past injuries and surgeries! Happy to call this place our new home gym.

Jacus Hamiltonvia Google I stumbled across Sweat440 when I was taking advantage of a $5 promotion of ClassPass access. I found the classes challenging, but do-able; I liked that you could come in whenever, bang out a workout, and though you are working out alongside other attendees, you don't necessarily have to engage as much with them as you might have to in other class formats. The music is usually good and it is conveniently located.
When I came in for my first class, the manager walked me through much of the first session, coaching me on my posture and technique, which is what I knew I needed a lot of help with. The coaching was appreciated, and for this reason, I decided to sign up for a membership.
However, that manager left after a couple of months, and since then, management hasn't seemed very interested in being on the turf with us and assisting with form, unless it is someone that they are obviously buddy-buddy with, (or maybe wanted their phone number!)
That is, until Lana started at the Highland studio.
Lana has been the best trainer at this gym since I started almost two years ago. And there have been a LOT of them. Management has cycled in and out quickly in the past, which was tough on the trainers, who would end up throwing in the towel as well.
But Lana has stuck around.
She always has a smile on her face, and welcomes everyone warmly by name.
She is on the turf whenever possible, helping every person out - the newbies and the vets - while cheering us on and encouraging us.
She is there with a sani-towel as we finish our sets, or wiping the equipment down for us, before we can get to it ourselves!
She has been great for her staff. Turnover seems lower, and the trainers are following her lead on the turf and assisting us wherever they can. In the past, the trainers could be stand-offish or seem disinterested and checked out. Her influence on the rest of the trainers is definitely showing lately.
She knows us - she asks us about our fitness goals, but also knows about our lives, our backgrounds, our fears and our wins. She is great at getting people chatting with each other, too. A lot of us have been coming here for months and haven't really spoken to one another, but that has changed. There is more of a "team" vibe now than there ever has been.
She is also (seemingly) in the studio 7 days a week, and I recently found out she has even moved super close by, just to be present whenever she is needed.
Anyway, I can be just as guilty as the next guy - only coming on here to leave reviews when something negative happens at a place of business - but I felt compelled to come on here and give a shout out to y'all. Keep up the great work!
Jacus
