Although they have good collection of classes. Their customer service is the worst. I wanted to put my membership ($49.99 in value) on hold earlier in August as I had a family emergency (my father in law passed away) and I had to leave the country suddenly. I was told I would have to cancel my membership and then re-enroll with an additional membership fee. Also, I got charged for an entire month while I was away attending a funeral. While all the other fitness providers give you an option of putting your membership on hold or waiving your membership for the month you cannot attend due to an emergency. Excel has failed to accommodate an emergency. Very disappointed. Never recommending this gym to anyone.

I just tried my first spin class on thursday. This class rocks!

I have been a long distance runner for over 10 years. I have been able to maintain my health and weight by running and eating right. About 4 months ago, I decided to change up my exercise routine. Excel Body Fitness has made a huge difference! Since I have been going to this wellness studio, I am more toned and fit. I actually work out less than I ran and still...way more toned. My husband joined a month or so after me and he is less stressed and looking great. Thanks XBF!

I used to only work out to lose weight. Excel has shown me that losing weight is only a part of the experience. As a member of excel, I also get motivation, strength, and friendship.

I've never been a gym junkie.. and I'm very resistant to change. Therefore, when our old gym (Impact) was bought out by O2- we just kept going there. It was easy, I knew what to expect, I could go whenever I wanted (or didn't want) and nobody cared. We paid and then we went - or didn't. However, about 2 years ago, a friend started going to 'boot camp' at this place called Excel Body Fitness (or XBF). She was all about getting in shape at the time and I didn't want to hear it. I was too comfortable to do anything about my weight- even though I needed to. She got some awesome results though- and my very fitness oriented husband also started going to these boot camp classes. To me, they sounded like hell on earth. But- whatever floated their boat, I thought. I continued to make half hearted efforts at O2. Then, our O2 membership ran out- it was time to renew. But, my husband wasn't going and we would have paid for two gyms- yuck. So, I thought- why not. If I don't want to go to classes, I'll just go use the treadmill/elliptical/yoga, whatever. And I signed up for a 30 day Gold Membership deal that was offered through Amazon Local. Well, damn. I don't like moving for fitness and I don't like people telling me what to do and those first days of boot camp just about killed me. But, there was something to this routine- 4 classes a week and the format w/ Carolee Auslander teaching that kept me coming back. For one thing, I felt like I was actually achieving something for each class I lived through. I also felt like this might be a way to actually make a change in my fitness 'life'. And then finally, I felt truly supported. BY my friends and spouse who went to classes, but also by Carolee herself. She gave me modifications for any exercises I couldn't do and provided genuine (and intense) motivation to continue going. I've been going now for about 4 months- and I'm so glad. I recently experienced a loss that kept me from the gym for a few weeks and I appreciated the very caring support I received from all at XBF. In my few weeks of absence, I've realized that the benefits I get from going to XBF far outweigh those old complaints I used to have about going to the gym. And it's certainly provided the structure I needed to really make a difference for myself. I've gained so much strength and it's helped me to change my mindset about exercise. I've also started running- at a much faster pace then ever before- and I actually LIKE it. Oh- and I learned that I kinda like boxing- hitting stuff is fun. Thanks to Carolee, Maria, and all the other great instructors.
