Best decision I ever made, and the first workout plan/gym I've actually stuck with. It's an introvert's dream with virtual class options (but great for extroverts as well!). I can go any hour of the day for a class, and choosing off-hours makes it nice and private. However, there are coach-led, more popular classes if you prefer a more traditional gym model! The classes are dynamic, with choices of cardio, strength, or agility. The classes themselves change every week, and I actually enjoy the workouts (shocking). I love the heart rate monitor which shows my stats on screens - seeing my calories burning and heart rate is a great motivator. I can't say enough good things about the staff. The instructors are awesome and everyone is beyond nice. They also have fun challenges with prizes sometimes.

The workouts at ETF are second to none! I never leave ETF without dripping sweat, and I consistently burn well over 600 calories in every workout! I appreciate the variety of workouts, the energy and the people that go there. The workouts are individualized, but performed in a group environment so it forces you to put your best effort out and push yourself...which I need when doing cardio. 10/10 recommend!
I’ve been a member @ ETF for a year and a half and I absolutely love it!! Great mix of cardio, strength & agility. Every class is different so it’s it’s not the same mundane routine every day. The instructors & coaches are top notch & the music gets me going every morning. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.
ETF has changed my workout routine and mindset about fitness! The workouts are for all fitness levels, you are definitely getting the most out of your time. The community is by far my favorite!! All the members are amazing and make the workouts even more fun! HR monitors and personalized training makes it so easy to track progress and stay motivated. I can’t recommend ETF fitness enough….
Have attended here for over 2 years and it’s the one fitness program I have been able to be consistent with because of the variety of workouts and the people!
Clean, new studio with a variety of equipment to make each workout your own. Programming is thoughtful with long term health and fitness goals in mind. Community is welcoming and supportive, no matter your fitness level.
ETF is such a fabulous place to workout! The studio is a great environment and the coaches are very supportive. I’m not a fan of working out but I’ve been a member for two years! The workouts are well rounded and ETF supports overall health and mobility vs just losing weight. Would recommend to everyone!
I absolutely love working out at Eat The Frog! The workouts are always different and keep you motivated and engaged. The coaching team is incredible. They are positive and provide great support. I would recommend Eat the Frog to anyone!
6.24.24- Another year at ETF, I enjoy the continued challenging workouts, great staff and amazing frog members!! I highly recommend trying it out for a week trial!! 2023- Updated review after a year and a half of working out here: I have been a member of ETF for a year and a half now. To this day every workout is a challenge. The coaches and staff are exceptional. Great workout music and atmosphere. Always clean! I would highly recommend, they do give out a few week trial. First review from over a year ago: I really enjoy the workouts at Eat The Frog, they have Strength, Cardio and Agility classes that change weekly, never get a boring workout. I also like that I have the option of coach led classes or virtual. The staff is very friendly, helpful and welcoming.
Love my workouts at Eat the Frog! The workouts are for anyone, you are able to workout at your level and watch you fitness level grow. The Coaches are amazing and always have good advice to help you achieve your fitness goals!
