Renegade

COACHING: 5 stars for most coaches, their energy, and music. 6 stars for Courtney, Safi, Matt, and Amar! PROGRAMMING: 4 stars; I did weight training for a number of years so I feel I am pretty strong, but Tuesdays and Thursdays are focused on shoulders and biceps and the bicep work is excessive for most women. EQUIPMENT: 2 stars. Machines can take weeks to be repaired. Currently, the screen on multiple machines turns on but it doesn't actually track calories or distance. I reset the workout on the screen before I start and some machines will say I am running at a sub 4-minute mile pace. I might be fast but I'm not that fast. SENSE OF COMMUNITY: 1 Star. Simply put, there is no sense of community unless you count putting your first in the air and saying "work!" together after class. I've never been to another fitness studio where there are a dozen people waiting for a class in the lobby and nobody talks or interacts. There are different ways to get folks to talk to one another but that starts with the ownership and how they cultivate that. Be aware of their business model that makes them a ton of money: $99/month is great, but it's $15 for each "late cancellation." Late cancellation is cancelling your class less than 8 hours BEFORE it starts. So if something comes up with work, kids, etc. and you cancel 7 1/2 hours BEFORE your class starts, you are automatically charged $15. This rule is absurd and insensitive to the fact that life happens and people have extenuating circumstances. Renegade invests in a sales team to get you signed up. I was contacted several times within two weeks of visiting. Meanwhile, since I have joined and reached out to them, I get a delayed response or no response at all. Overall, Renegade ownership seems to care most about your money & their reviews. I'd stay for the coaches and workouts most days but I can't support a business that demonstrates (through their "late" cancellation policy and lack of responsiveness) it doesn't care whatsoever about it's members.

Ridiculous, beyond challenging. 5 stars because the people who can complete these workouts should be enlisted in the military, special forces specifically. Extra star for the people who use dumbbells with the Bulgarian split squats. 0/5 stars for rest periods or catering workouts to people with average conditioning. Bunch of positive, uplifting freaks

We dropped into Renegade for the 8am class while in town for a wedding, and it was an incredibly disappointing experience. Despite there being people around, no one greeted us or offered any guidance. We had no idea who the coach was, where to put our belongings, or whether stations were assigned or self-selected. It was completely unwelcoming. They make a big deal about not being CrossFit or bootcamp, but maybe that’s because they lack any sense of community. This place felt impersonal, like a virtual gym. The workout itself was similar to an F45, but without the structure, helpfulness, or welcoming environment that F45 offers. If you value community and support, I’d recommend looking elsewhere.

Renegade, I love you! I’ve been a loyal member for a few years now- but please fix the AC! You’re gonna have some people faint from heat exhaustion. We pay too much for this not to be fixed after months! Some of my friends have quit because of the AC situation.

I'm so excited that we are going to have a facility that is rite down the street from my house. Just off the university ave exit going North. And North Park way exit going South. Located in the Subway sandwich parking lot, last night I noticed it for the first time. I'm so excited, this is something we have needed for a long time.I am looking forward to joining this Renegade Fitcamp. It looked closed last night around 7pm. But I found the website and it says it will be open on Monday March 4th. I took some pictures of the outside to post, (not the greatest quality from inside my car) but this excited me even more. I'm so looking forward to going in on Monday and see how I could get a customized workout for my age(54) and weight that suits me! Yeah Renegade! Looking forward to joining!!
