The virtual turbo kick classes are my favorite. Being in a remote location during the pandemic I feel like Im right there in the class room with Natalie. She makes it so dynamic and enjoyable and it is a great workout. Ive gone from basic to intermediate and she incorporate how beginners to experts can adapt each exercise for more or less impact.

Fly Girl is my home away from home. All the instructors are amazing and I get a great workout each time. The Zumba classes are amazing and I just signed up my child for kids dance. He had his first class yesterday and is hooked! Im so happy I found fly girl on groupon. I told all my friends about this amazing studio. Its so clean and I feel completely safe here. Seems to be a disturbed individual posting about unsanitary conditions. Strange...! Check out fly girl yourself and see what an empowering and clean studio it is! Kym is the sweetest lady you will ever meet. Her heart is so huge and gives back constantly to her community! Shes all over the internet, doing amazing things! If you are looking for an empowering no judgement studio with staff that know your name this is the place for you!

I absolutely love this studio! I fell in love with the strength classes! They push me and challenge me and they have the best instructors. I feel very welcomed at this studio and its like a family feel! I want to try the other formats soon as well. I feel so much stronger mentally and physically since starting here. Highly recommended!

I am a new member at Fly Girl and I love it! I feel so safe with the precautions and the measures that they take to keep it a safe and clean studio. The instructors are great . They have a wide variety of classes. I also signed my daughter up for Fly Kidz class. I highly recommend this studio.

Love love love all of the FlyGirl classes and instructors. I feel at ease doing my level of workout and so energetic no matter the instructor. They’re also super clean and make a huge effort to keep the studio clean and sterilized for classes during the pandemic. Would recommend joining over and over!

I tried their OnDemand classes for a couple of weeks with some friends. We did not like the workouts because of poor quality and not challenging enough except for Coach Kristi. She really is the best there and her dedication and professional development is evident. Happy she has her own Facebook group so we can keep it up with her and keep the workouts consistent.

Im a new member and joined during this pandemic. Every day I did a workout with a different instructor and they are the most talented and giving instructor team I have seen. I have been to many studios and havent seen anything like this. I was a bit cautious coming to the studio as they transitioned. However, it was the best choice I made. Extremely safe and clean. They have protocol and signs up everywhere. At the classes I attend, I always see the class before ending 10 min early to sanitize before the next class. Very efficient and great system. For those who are nervous, please stop in and try it out, you will see what an amazing community this is. Thank you fly girl for being a shining beacon in my life and for making me feel at ease during this crazy time.

I have my own opinion on this studio. You love it or you dont. There are two types of member groups here. Those who fall for flattery and praise easily, not realizing its a form of manipulation so they let things slide. Then there is the other group of women that chooses professionalism and honesty over flattery. I am the second group. The owner almost lost the studio due to nonpayment of rent and went public with it by begging the community and her members to donate to a Go Fund Me page two times totaling almost 30,000$. It is deceitful and dishonest that two weeks later she is now traveling and on a vacation.

Im disappointed in this studio. Classes arent that challenging and taught when drinking. The owner is a alcoholic and cant run it well. The first class I took she looked drunk. A huge drinking studio. I only took 3 classes but it appeared those instructors were also under the influence. She preaches girl power but its the opposite.

This place is a hidden gem on the northwest side. I’ve been going consistently for over a year, it’s the longest I’ve ever stuck with anything, I’m not very “fitness-y”. The classes are super fun, you won’t watch the clock or wonder when it’s going to end, and there’s a huge variety for almost any interest. The ladies that come here are drama free and very supportive and down to earth, and you will find people of all shapes/sizes/ages/abilities here, no intimidation factor whatsoever. highly recommended!

I bought a gift certificate for my wife before the Covid 19 pandemic hit. She was hesitant to start working out at Fly Girl when they opened last week. She took her first class last Friday and she hasnt stopped talking about it since. Not sure how many hubbies read these but Ive never seen her so happy and glowing over this studio. She is excited they are following CDC guidelines and making sure every member feels safe. She is radiating confidence and energy - and I just LOVE it! Thank you Fly Girl and your team!

I have worked out at other clubs for many years before joining Fly Girl and never have I felt so welcomed and empowered. I have never felt judged or shamed. No matter how I am feeling when I walk in, I always leave feeling like a million bucks. The instructors are amazing...always supportive and encouraging. They make working out fun and make you want to come back for more. I can honestly say that I am addicted. It’s truly my happy place.

Review №14

The dishonesty of this studio is astonishing. It’s always one thing after another and the owner never holds herself accountable for anything.The owner has set up two different Go Fund Me pages in the last six months asking for help with rent and payroll by using the pandemic as an excuse. Ironically, rent hasn’t been paid in over six months because she didn’t feel she had to pay it, but somehow it’s the landlords fault?Also, mixed messages are being sent out as to what happened to the first Go Fund Me money collected. She claims the instructors worked for free during the pandemic but then sends mixed messages that they were partially paid. She then says she “obviously didn’t pay rent while closed”. So, again I ask, where is the money from the first Go Fund Me?Membership dues are still being collected though but not used for rent or payroll either?Suspicious business.

I’ve never been a member of a fitness studio but now I can’t imagine ever quitting Fly Girl Fitness. The studio, both the instructors and members, are so welcoming, engaging and fun. It is soothing and uplifting for the body and soul. The space is beautiful and no one is made to feel an outsider. Love this group. Thanks for all you do, Kym!!!

My first impression of this studio is that its so welcoming! Im in the process of relocating to Chicago and am so excited to become a member in September. My first class I took was a strength class called cuts and curves with Elisabeth. It was fantastic! It was challenging and fun but I never felt I couldnt do any part of the class. The instructor was so welcoming and had such a great energy about her and one of the best instructors I have taken a class with since I started trying to get back in shape. Her positive encouragement really helped me. I hope to try the Zumba classes next. The vibe of the studio is great, it seems like people all know each other and just seems like such a positive atmosphere and empowering studio. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone whose new to the area. They have a water cooler in back , snacks in the bathroom and electrolyte tablets. The bathroom is also really amazing for pics with their beautiful mirror.

I found this little gem during the pandemic! They offered ALL of their classes online for FREE! Their team worked for nothing to provide the most amazing classes - for anyone around the world! Im from Chicago so when they opened their doors last week - I jumped at the opportunity to join. I walked in to find a no touch and safe workout environment. From their floor marked social distancing spots to the entry and exit flow - I felt safe working out their. I took Natalies turbo kick class and fell in love with her and her energy! Who knew that a pandemic would unite me with this GIRL POWER and super supportive little studio!

Buyer beware of fake 5 star review from employees and no existent people to boost the ratings and conceal facts.Bring your own yoga mat. Theirs were cleaned in their alley/parking lot and thrown all over the same cement cars park on, people walk on and night time rats crawl all over. Not very sanitary. Super expensive for 129$ a month or sign a year contract for 50$ less. Money hungry.

Review №24

I joined the group during the Pandemic because they offered the community free classes online. Most places offered free classes during the shutdowns, but I felt pressured to donate to two Go Fund Me pages they posted in the group in a matter of five months. This facility is not financially sound and Im glad I didnt sign a one year contract. Dont offer the community free classes as a good deed then reprimand those in a video for not donating.

Amazing community of strong and caring women! Really inspiring atmosphere to become and stay healthy!

This studio is laughable. They post cleaning pics like they are doing something great. News flash to the dirty owner. You would not pass cleaning standards for covid 19 passing. I used to take classes here but this studio doesnt follow guidelines and washes their yoga mats in the alley where people throw out their old masks in the dumpster. She wants to make it seem like its clean but it is not. Judge for yourself.  Just dont contract covid going inside

Review №29

I wanted to share my personal endeavor since I am no longer a member of this establishment. 2 instructors recently unfriended me from social media because I let exercising win Instead of joining their gossipy bandwagon. That was not at all “women supporting women” of them. I’m sorry i thought this was a workout studio i joined and not a high school. I didn’t like to be dictated on who to be friends with. I was saddened to see an establishment with mainly middle aged women act in such a way. I wanted to exercise and to be healthy. I didn’t come here to be manipulated into the tactic of triangulation by the owner. To each it’s own, but it’s not for me.

Fly Girl Dance and Fitness is a place that I cannot quit, even if I take a hiatus. I keep coming back to this happy place time and time again. I have been a Fly Girl for 5 years and I have never had a negative experience or interaction with any instructor or member. Kym is incredible and does everything she can to accommodate members and foster a caring and supportive environment; both on and off the fitness floor.The members here are just as supportive and for the people with negative interactions, I guarantee it has to do with the reviewer. The Universe has a way of weeding out people that dont vibe with the environment, and this is a place where negativity and bullying need not apply.Join Kym for a Zumba class, try Pound with Natalie, or any other class that suits your movement interests. I promise you wont be disappointed.

Flygirl is my home away from home. Everyone is so kind and supportive! The instructors are amazing, so positive, and so good at what they do! They really strive to make personal connections with everyone; you really feel part of the group. They make working out so much fun! Every class Ive taken has been a positive experience! All levels are welcomed for any class; the instructors show modifications for the various workouts. There are so many different classes offered and they are all amazing! Flygirl has challenged me on so many levels; I always feel so inspired and strong both physically and mentally after each class. The community is so encouraging and super supportive. Everyone feels welcomed. Flygirl is such a special place! Im so grateful for everyone there! I highly recommend it for all women!

Absolutley love this place & company!!!! I love everything Fly Girl stands for. I have never been surrounded by more supportive woman in my life. It’s the highlight of my week and has given me outstanding friendships i will hold onto forever. I recommend to everybody all ages and experience levels. Great way to get your endorphins going surrounded by a supportive uplifting group of girls. The owner is so kind, always has a smile and a passion to teach the class and welcome you in. Fly Girl is the strong foundation of woman empowerment it is because of the hardwork and passion, the owner and other teachers have put in.

I started here now 3 years ago with a Groupon and absolutely loved the vibe I received from the staff. TRULY!! Try out this little GEM of a studio! Ive met so many wonderful women of all ages, and have made some new friends. Theres are so many classes with great instructors, I highly recommend trying all of them to see what fits your needs. The owner Kymberlee is very passionate about including everyone with her Charity work and outside events! I recently helped out with all these amazing women on Thanksgiving morning to help feed the homeless. Her selflessness amazes me!!

I started working out at Fly Girl this January and have been a diehard of this studio since day one.Kym has created a space where women of all shapes, sizes, and ages can come together to dance, work out, and get fit. The number of success stories of increased wellness, confidence, and physical strength of the women in this club is astounding.The instructors are top notch. They are professional and show great care towards the members health and overall experience.The new studio is beautiful with a floor designed specifically to support the classes and keep members knees, backs, feet. I noticed a difference after the first two classes.I highly encourage any woman to come try this studio. You will be hooked immediately. If you have kids, all the better, as there are lots of new classes for little ones too.What I love as much as I love the classes is the spirit Kym and her instructors bring to the community. The amount of volunteer involvement Kym provides is astounding....from breast cancer walks, school block parties, collecting purses for womens shelters...the list goes on and on. She also opens this up to members so we all have opportunities to give back.

A friend of mine recommended I try Fly Girl and I’m so glad she did! For a person like me who had never taken a Zumba class before I was instantly comfortable at the studio—there is definitely a welcoming atmosphere from not only the instructors but the members as well. The instructors are top notch and the classes are challenging and FUN. I always leave there feeling like I’ve had an amazing workout and looking forward to the next one.

I have been a member of Flygirl for several years. Never before have I gone to any workout place consistently. I paid but never went. That’s until I found Flygirl. I not only go consistently, but I am in the best shape of my life. Every class starts with a comment about there being no judgement. Work at your own pace, lift what you can, tell me if you need modifications. Each instructor has such a passion for fitness. They give it their all each and every class. And the members are amazing women. I have never experienced exclusivity or clicks. I look forward to the time before class to catch up with women or even meet new gals. I can honestly call some of these women my friend. And finally, the owner Kym. I have never met anyone so dedicated to empowering women to be their best. You definitely need to try this place. You will not regret it.

Classes are good. You can get a good workout. Different fitness levels. It’s an ok studio. Compared to other places I have been it’s not that clean. I also had questions about my account and the owner said I was not in the system. I was charged three times for something which was incorrect but couldn’t be handled in a professional or respectful manner.Owner seemed nice in passing but very unapproachable if there is a client issue and offensive. Very biased against cultural names and needs sensitivity training. Unsure how a business run like this. I liked this studio since it was so close to my house but will go elsewhere.

I have been a member for 4 years and it truly is my happy place. I’m there at least 4-5 times a week. The instructors are knowledgeable and professional. There’s a workout for all fitness levels and many different formats to choose from. The vibe and energy is infectious and keeps you coming back. A bunch of REAL regular women of all different ages shapes and sizes supporting each other in their goals! The owner, Kym, has a heart of gold. Not only an amazing instructor but spends sooo much time giving back to the community thru different charities. And as a member you can be involved in giving back with her if you choose. It’s a win win. You feel good from the inside out when you are a “flygirl”. Must check out!!

Oh Dear Deborah, I feel so very bad for all that you have endured. I mean, after two years of Fly Girl being open, you just now had the courage to post a negative review. It must be so sad to be frightened of happy, beautiful women who are working to enhance their lives by dancing. It must be nerve wrecking to see when all us ladies gather together to head to a charity event to support those less fortunate. OH!! and OH MY GOD! What about the horrible horrible day when Kym (not Kim honey) opens her doors to all those children! Those horrible little thug life kids!!! The children she teaches to dance and earn early in life to exercise!! You must be so terrified!!! Poor sweet Deb... I mean, the earliest class is at 8:30 and I cant imagine what you endure when all that silent YOGA is going on. The last class being at 8:30 pm and that racket YOGA is happening again!!! Its a good thing KYM decided way at the beginning of the year that she was going to move to a bigger studio in order to accommodate her growing number of members! Now the landlord, who must of secretly told you that he wasnt renewing her lease wont have to tell her that he isnt renewing it!! Thank God!!!! Who knows what could of happened!!! WHEW!! Oh and dont you worry your miserable head about all those people who will be affected by all that noise in the new place...they will know first hand very soon, as a lot of them already signed up for classes!Well, anyway. I hope your relieved now darling. Oh, and a piece of advice, if, once your done posting nonsense, right click on your mouse, spellcheck will pop up and assist you in correcting your spelling mistakes so you dont have to look like a bumbling idiot who has nothing better to do than peek out the window and watch life move on without you. Take care honey!

This is a wonderful place run by wonderful people. My daughter took hip hop dance classes here and the entire Flykidz program is so great. She lost interest, which made me sad, but I plan to take some classes there in the near future because I love the energy of the owner and instructors. And when my son is older, Ill be giving him a shot at Flykidz. The boys performances blow me away!🤩

Fly Girl is beyond a dance & fitness studio. Its a community of women supporting one another to live a healthier, HAPPIER lifestyle. Regardless of your size, age or fitness background - every member here is family.I couldnt thank Kymberlee enough for creating this loving studio. The last (almost) 2 years of Fly Girl has had such a positive impact on my life.So if you looking to lose a few pounds, make new friends or just simply DANCE, then you found the absolute best dance and fitness studio in Chicago. For real

My experience at Fly Girl has been excellent! I have been doing dance cardio for many years, and Fly Girl has by far exceeded my expectations. Not only have I found a place I can dance at 6am with awesome women and instructors, I have found friendship, love, support and genuine honest to goodness women empowerment! I work out there every day, and I mean, literally every day, twice on Sunday!. It is my happy place and it gives me so much joy, it’s so fun it makes working out not even a chore. No judgement zone as well, in fact, it’s an encouragement zone!!

I bought a Groupon for unlimited one month of classes. I’m so glad I did-I had been thinking about this place for a while. After having a Planet Fitness member ship and never using it I decided to cancel it and invest more in myself and try this place out. I need group fitness to get a good workout. From the very first class I felt welcomed and the instructor took genuine interest in my being there. The other girls smile and say hello to you which is so refreshing. The classes are sooo freaking fun. I personally love Natalie’s Turbo class- she’s an amazing instructor. I’m not great at some of the classes with choreograph dancing moves but I caught on after a few classes. The candlelight yoga on Tuesday’s is so relaxing and strengthening- Regina is another kind and capable instructor who knows a lot about each pose. There are classes that are cardio dancing, yoga, and strength/endurance so you can choose what kind of workout you want. I feel healthier and better about myself after having been here over 2 weeks now.

Ive been dancing with Kym since 2012 when she was at Niles Fitness. Her Zumba is the ONLY workout that I have ever actually looked forward to in my 66-year life!! And thanks to her fun and motivating classes, and Weight Watchers, I lost 65 pounds!! I followed Kym and her Fly Girl Dance Studio first to Northwest Highway, and as of Saturday, to a brand spanking new space on Milwaukee. Exceptional place, incredible ownership and wonderful fellow fly girls.

Update: April 13, 2019.In mid February, I start getting harassed at my employer via postal mail. We had no choice but to retain an attorney that specializes in Internet law and defamation to put an end to the harassment, gossip and rumors that FG created about my family.Reply to Kyms erratic response: We have NEVER been served 2 cease and desist letters; there arent any court orders, judges signature or police reports. another FG bullying tactic. Our atty is now being bothered as well by Kym on various social media outlets. The FG atty was notified of this on 4/12 at 143pm; hence Kyms angry reply shortly after. Our atty HAS sent FG an 8 page ltr on 3/15 along with bullying proof & requested 7 pieces of info that we are still waiting on. *see letter* Her reply is defensive to save face and is not truthful. FG atty is being investigated by the ARDC & has withdrawn from this matter as of 4/12/19. This owner is relentless and continues to bully my family.******************************Let me share my experience, along with my familys experience with this studio. We have lived in the neighborhood for 20 years and have raised 3 kids here. Everyone that know us knows how much we give back, volunteer, coach and help others. Its how we learned of the studio. From Hitch, Taft, St Monicas Parish and the local parks; everyone knows my family.The owner moved into Gladstone Park from Norwood Park, needed a tool, and right away we offered to help her. Didnt even know her, but its good to give back to the community, right?I spent two years providing free services to this studio, as many can confirm. I was a handyman for the studio, anywhere from hanging equipment, plumbing issues, and electrical problems, you name it. I fixed it. I even went as far as helping the owner with car problems and moving.My wife and college-aged daughter were also members of this studio. My wife went regularly, my daughter not so much, being a college student but she would buy a ten class pass.Turn of events and suddenly, out of nowhere, over the summer 2018, my wife and daughter started to be victimized and subjected to cyber bullying for the last six months from the studio owner, its members AND/OR its staff. Not sure if it was jealousy that caused this from others seeing that we were close with the owner, but it was obvious someone was out to hurt my wife.My daughter sent the owner a personal email in July 2018 to tell her she wasnt happy with how my wife was being treated. My daughter knew that we did so much for that studio. Well her personal information, such as email address and cell number was shared and since then, its been a plethora of anonymous emails, text messages, crank calls, and voicemails.As of recent, the studio owner, Kymberlee Raya, on 1/27/2019, posted a live ten-minute video on her private Fly Girl page, bullying and shaming my family with allegations that are untrue. She mentioned police reports and restraining orders, which is all fabricated.A handful of members of the Fly Girl private group page immediately shared this video and its comments with us, knowing none of it is true, especially since they have seen how things are going on our end.A copy of the video is now in our hands.Some members of this studio have reported the video and its comments to Facebook as bullying, since they wont stand for it either. It is extremely tasteless and unprofessional.In this review, I have attached a screenshot of a call on 11/30/2018 where an instructor cranked called my wife through Facebook video chat. The picture of the crank caller is visible. It was no accident because my wife would have had to be unblocked in order for this call to occur.This is the type of business we are supposed to support in this community? Where instead of exercise, the community has to endure gossip, lies, bullying and rumors?This is NOT for us and it is NOT for so many others who are now seeing the bigger picture and the other side. Take this review in any way you want because it is not FAKE news.

8/3/2019 replying AGAIN to this business. This isnt a fake account. I legally have two surnames due to my culture. Who are you to question my existence? Stop intimidating me! Stop erratically replying to this review every month and pretending to be an IT company. There is NO IT investigation company, but I understand this statement is for your readers. This review is valid, legal and fair, otherwise Google would have removed it. Please leave me alone as I have asked you before. I have never had a business bully me so much over an honest opinion about my experience.*************************Hello! I am replying to the owner of this establishment. There isnt any confusion. I dont have the wrong studio. You are located in Gladstone Park on Milwaukee Avenue. I witnessed a live video posted by you, Kymberlee Raya, bullying a member. There is no confusion. Ive also witnessed a lot of good people leave your studio due to drama and situations like this. I feel quite bullied by your response to me, honestly. Not sure how you come to the assumption that I dont live in Chicago or the surrounding area as my location and address is not available to the public. Please dont intimidate me to confuse your audience. Your reply to me two months later confirmed that I made the best decision. You are very unprofessional and untrustworthy, in my opinion.Thank you!***********************I was really excited to join an all-women judge free zone type of environment. The place was okay until I saw a live video that the owner posted on the Fly Girl Group Page publicly shaming and bullying another woman. She also began making allegations at this woman that does not concern any of us members nor would we want to hear one woman bash another woman. This is supposed to a workout studio and health wellness environment. That video and ordeal left a bad taste in my mouth which resulted in my leaving. My goal was to find an all women wellness/workout studio, woman comrade and fellowship, etc., unfortunately with the behavior displayed, I will not be returning.

Shameful that this studio is trying to collect money from its customers and our community claiming it’s to pay the instructors. If that’s the case then stop collecting monthly membership dues from the members. That’s dishonest in my opinion to use our current pandemic to try and cash out.

I have been a member of fly girl for over 2 years. There is a class and instructor for everyone! The times are perfect and the energy is flowing The best part of fly girl is the sense of community. It is a studio that lifts up and empowers women. I believe this l comes from the heart of the owner Kymberlee and I believe this comes from her heart and was her intention. Its nothing but smiles and positive energy when you walk in the door. Such a great place I wish Kymberlee the best of luck. Dont forget your first class is free :)

I have been going to flygirl for over a year now and cannot express how much it has changed my life for the better. I am happy ALL the time because of Kym and what she has created here. It is not like your average gym or studio. The moment you walk through the door you can feel the energy and the positive vibes. Its women lifting women up.Kym is an amazing instructor and person. She does sooo much for the community and various charaties.I am beyond happy to be a flygirl and any doubters should really try a class or 2. You will be come addicted to the feeling of confidence and positivity.

Remember how when you were a kid, you never had to think twice about exercise because it was in the form of play? Well, thats how I feel about Fly Girl.I danced recreationally my entire childhood-- from the time I was three, all the way through college. Ever since I lost my outlet, its been near impossible to stick to a gym routine. Why should I bust my butt on a treadmill when theres way more fun forms of exercise? Unfortunately, dance classes for adults are typically very expensive, deep in the city, and are marketed to two populations: professionals and beginners. So alas, I would go to the gym for a few weeks, take a few months off. Go for a few weeks, take a few months off. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.But not any more!Being a Norwood Park resident I had been eyeing Fly Girl for awhile, but was too nervous to start/was hesitant to pay the price (silly, because when you do the math, Fly Girl is a great value). But when I saw their deal on Groupon, I jumped on the opportunity. I was so sick of not having any motivation and knew I needed to try something new.From my first class I was hooked. It felt like I had walked into a girl-power dance party. The instructors are so passionate and no two classes are the same. Theres enough variety to keep things interesting and challenging, and the hours are perfect for my schedule. Even the music is a good variety. Previously when I had tried Zumba/group fitness elsewhere, it was all top 40 and Latin (which I got a little bored with). Fly Girl instructors use EVERY genre. The classes are challenging enough so I get a good sweat and leave red in the face, but most classes are modified if you are looking for something more gentle. Ive even gone on Saturday and Sunday morning. NEVER in my life have I woken up early to exercise!!When I would be on a good streak of going to the gym, I would tell myself, Wow Im feeling motivated this week! At Fly Girl, it doesnt even take motivation to get me to go. It is pure fun and entertainment, with the additional benefits of a great workout. Im no longer just living for the weekend. I have something to look forward to every night of the week.So if youre unsure about signing up, just do it! You wont regret it and are guaranteed to find something you enjoy!Thanks for bringing an incredible business to the far northwest side!

I have been with fly girls for a year, I been having ups and downs in my personal and family life and kym was there taking her time to talk to me and helping me. It sooo friking funny that any one can say wrong thing about the place that I call my second family. The place is incredible , people is amazing, the instructions unique. Every time I dance in this I lace I feel like a diva I can not see my self going to some another place to dance... HELLO ZUMBA CLASSES HAVE TO BE LOUD TO FEEL THE MUSIC AND SHAKE YOUR ASSS. TKS LOVE U ALL...KYMBERLEE I DONT HAVE TO SAY IT BUT YOU ARE THE BEST #1

I bought a yearly membership and quit the same month. This is not your average workout studio.
