Soul Fitness, Tucson

Not impressed after first week and three group sessions. Limiting hours and locations. Too much talking, starts 10 minutes late, ends 10 minutes late. Punished if you’re one minute late. While I like the intensity of military style, I don’t like coach yelling at people and allowing water only when given permission. Forfeited the remainder of my groupon. Anything would be better than this.

I left this same review on their fb page and noticed they didn't have many updated ones on Groupon. I needed to do something for my body, I felt awful. Honestly "Quarantine Body" wasn't just about putting on a couple lbs for me and I'm positive I'm not alone, it was like I sat down on the couch in March and didn't stand up until July. I was depressed, far more out of shape than I thought and I kept saying I was going to do something but I wasn't actually doing something. I joined Allie at her Reid Park group. Group exercise is NOT something I imagined myself doing after being shut in for an entire summer but her amazing group of dedicated attendees and herself, made me feel like I constantly had a hand outstretched to pick me up when I fell. And I literally fell, a lot. This is body composition and it's not easy! She has everyone from 19 years to 60 year olds in her group and we all show, 3 days a week. By the end you are sore, exhausted and thinking of not showing up the next class : D but by time for next class you honestly can't wait! I never got the chance to meet the rest of the SOUL team but the way Allie spoke of them not only did I get to know their big personalities, I felt like they shared the exact same values and I would feel just as much support jumping in with any of them. The fact that SOUL has a trial on their website and lists specials on groupon really gives anyone an opportunity to jump in and get a taste for something that can make a huge impact on them. Although this only lasted 4 weeks for me, it was sincerely the jumpstart I desperately needed to right some wrongs I've done and get me back on track. Thank you just doesn't cover it.

Positivity. Accountability. Trust. This group is truly fantastic! It can be intimidating to go from couch to group exercise program over night but these guys made me feel so welcome and never embarrassed or uncomfortable. The positivity was contagious and made me want to succeed. In addition to this, the motivational talks and true care for my wellbeing made this experience totally invaluable!

Excellent instructors, and fantastic group of ladies!! Day one down....😃
