I highly recommend giving this gym a shot if you are looking to find a new way to get back into shape. Huge shoutout to Nick and Kathy for taking time out of their day to include myself and my students. We had such an amazing time and really appreciate the experience!

I’ve worked in the fitness industry for years and had access to phenomenal coaches and trainers and yet can still say that HonorBound is the best I’ve ever worked with. The programming is ridiculously intentional and thorough and I’ve made gains in the past year that I have only ever dreamed about. I’m safely pushed out of my comfort zone and have done things I’ve never before considered. The greatest part, however, is the family that I’m a part of. That was the biggest surprise because I still also go to that other fitness place. I go, put on my headphones, do my thing and leave. I was never one for the social aspect that a lot of people go to the gym for. I’m still not so I don’t do much with my gym family outside of classes but damn, when I’m in those classes or warming up or cooling down, I’m catching up with a group of human beings who truly care and the best dang group of cheerleaders and hype people that I have ever been around. They support, they cheer, they check in. We do benefits, we do meal trains, we do genuine support. I’m so unbelievably grateful for HonorBound and the crew of coaches and members that I get to enjoy for 45 minutes a day!

I’ve been part of Honorbound for many years, and while I once felt proud to be involved, the organization has changed in ways that are hard to overlook. Over time, I no longer felt valued—there were no regular check-ins, no meaningful follow-ups, and little effort made to support personal growth unless you fit a very specific mold. Favoritism became increasingly noticeable. The turning point for me was my experience with the co-owner, Mandi. My husband and I never received all of our swag we were promised from a hosted event, and when I asked about it, I was told to contact Spartan. But when I reached out, Spartan clearly stated that the matter had to be handled by Mandi. I showed her their response, yet she refused to take responsibility and redirected me back to Spartan. The lack of follow-through and accountability was incredibly disappointing. I truly hope Honorbound takes this feedback seriously and works toward creating a culture where every member—regardless of their status—is treated with respect, fairness, and consistency.

Response from the owner · a year ago

Thank you for your feedback. We take your concerns seriously. WIth regards to the t-shirts/swag, we share your frustration. Unfortunately, even when we provide Spartan with the information on what we need for the race, they're not always timely in fulfilling our order. We asked you to reach out to them to reinforce the importance of what we were asking for, and it appears they just referred you back to us instead of fulfilling your order. We continue to provide feedback and work with Spartan on improving their delivery times. We do our best to provide personalized experiences and workouts that meet every member where they are and we're sorry you didn't feel that way. We'd love to discuss this with you - feel free to reach out and we can work to resolve this!

I recently told a friend, “None of the coaches at my gym are Bros.” Why? Because as a woman thinking about trying a gym… that is a true fear! 😩 Going into a gym where there’s a ton of hypermasculinity…. Just weird vibes❌ gives major ick! The coaches at my gym are amazing athletes, yes, amazing trainers, yes, AND they speak to you like you are their friend or their sister. They care about your form and your safety and your strength and your wellbeing… they make you feel safe and cared about. The world is weird, and so if we’re honest as women, this is something that must cross our minds if we’re considering a bootcamp or gym #RealTalk I have found a space where respect is king (and queen) of the gym! Thank you Coaches Nicholas Mandi Cavalas Jessica Rebecca for curating such an incredible culture! Oh yah, and we get sweaty, cheer each other on, lift heavy, challenge one another, laugh a lot, and go hard too! 🏋🏻‍♀️
