System of Strength offers one of a kind group fitness sessions, including cardio burning, timed interval training and muscle scorching "Control" classes for body toning or weight loss. The heart and soul is found in the group fitness training staff, who utilize unique backgrounds to provide leadership, instruction, and accountability. Instructors are very friendly and accommodating, the format is unique and interesting, and classes are well-designed. Many find the instructors pleasant, helpful, and top notch, making sure workouts are executed safely. The studio has taken steps to ensure cleanliness and safety, and booking is an absolute breeze thanks to the app. However, not much attention is given to form corrections during class compared to other gyms. There can be very little coordination between instructors, so you could end up doing three leg days in a row. This is a front-body focused gym, which works for shoulder or leg toning, but some found classes perpetuated muscular imbalances related to posture. Customer support is described as nonexistent, making it feel impossible to get ahold of someone to cancel a membership; the website is also confusing. Furthermore, the gym smells like industrial chemicals and the hot room on weekend mornings has an unpleasant odor, with concerns about adequate ventilation in the building. Despite these issues, many love the studio for its unique classes and excellent instructors, recommending it for those into group classes.
