I've been going to Sweat for a year now. Previously I was only doing cardio (cycling mainly), and I never really lifted weights. And wow, the results I see are something I could have never imagined for myself. In fact, I just got back from my wedding where multiple people commented "wow your back and arms are so muscular!" -- a year ago, I would have laughed! But more important than just looks, I feel STRONG. I feel able, healthy, confident, and I can lift stuff without hurting myself! I'm really thankful for the Sweat coaches here who don't judge, but instead continue to encourage us to lift a little heavier than our comfort zone, to push ourselves a little harder each time, and make us feel proud for showing up. I love the class variety -- the weekday classes that focus on specifically upper body/lower body/core are great, because I think that's how I really tire out my muscles and grow them. The weekend total body circuits are great, too (and they're tough!). Also, I think this matters -- the type of people who show up here are also fantastic. Not people who are trying to look hot at a pilates studio and take selfies. These are people and neighbors who are ready to get to work and have a great workout. It is very motivating! Highly recommend for anyone looking to get into lifting and getting stronger!

I love Sweat! A friend brought me a few months ago and now I am addicted. All of the teachers are great and encouraging. They are there to explain, assist and make sure your form is top notch. What I love about Sweat classes, beyond the fabulous workout, is that it is up to you to decide how hard you want to push yourself. They vary the workouts from normal circuits, to duos and pods, which keeps things different and fun. Sweat truly lives up to their name, you will sweat and get a great workout.

This place changed my life by changing my relationship to exercise! I feel happier and stronger because of SWEAT! The owner Cassie is amazing and the trainers are incredible especially Susan who is not only knowledgeable and supportive but also playful and tons of fun! Alex, Mike, and Cathie are also super great!

Sweat has been a cornerstone in my mental, emotional and physical health for the past 6 months. I feel stronger than I have in years and supported every step of the way by an amazing community of coaches and fellow Sweat members. Sweat is accessible with classes through out the day and a community of people that I want to show up to see and work out with. It can be intimidating getting back in the gym or trying something new but the coaches at Sweat meet every member exactly where they are in their fitness journey with modifications that work for each individual.

Great coaches who help you scale the workout to your needs, and a very approachable group of normal folks there to workout, not to show off or to be seen.

I was coming out of ultra marathon & (half) iron man triathlon worlds with a horrible shoulder pain from running and biking and wanted to switch things up. I found this gym on class pass and I couldn’t speak more highly of it. All of the coaches have a different energy and all of the workouts are designed especially for that day. That being said, each day feels fun, fresh and new. It’s only 50 mins so it feels manageable and gets me off the couch. I’ve also been hitting my fitness goals more than I ever have before. I feel like everyone is genuinely there to get strong and empowered, as opposed to other group workout classes that have more toxic weight loss focuses. It feels like your local neighborhood gym with many familiar faces every day, and many (if not all) of the coaches remember your name after a few times so it feels very personal. The coaches are quick to correct you if you have a bad form, which is really helpful. If I ever stumble upon a traditional gym again, I feel comfortable navigating a weight room again for the first time since high school.

I've been going to Sweat Rockridge for 3 years. Great location, instructors, program, participants, and vibe. It's helped my fitness tremendously. The focus is on the workout, not on flash. This is not Equinox. We go through different movements/exercises, each around 60 seconds, with about 10 seconds to switch between exercise stations. Stations are mostly free weights, with a few machines: bikes, skiers, rowers. Weekdays have arm days, leg days, and core days, while weekends generally are whole-body, i.e., a bit of arms, legs, and core. Because we're pushing card, cardio always factors in; I find my heart rate is aroudn 130 to 150 bpm across a workout. We have a broad range of exercises to workout a range of muscle groups. Workouts are flexible. You can push yourself hard, or throttle back, as needed. For example, if you're tapering before a competition, or recovering from a competition or injury. When recovering from surgery, or from an injury, I've found instructors to be accommodating if I need to modify a movement or replace it entirely. Being of a certain age, I reduce jumping for some movements to save my joints. Some people make the workouts social, chatting the whole time. I'm more quiet, focusing on my workout, thinking form, and finding and thriving in the "pain cave" where I can. It's flexible that way. But one thing we're not doing is preening. Instructors are generally very helpful and knowledgable in terms of coaching us to have the right form. Before each workout, they'll show the correct way to do each station. Sometimes I'll make eye contact and ask if I'm doing a movement correctly, for example, for RDLs since I injured my back long ago. Anyways, Sweat is highly recommended!

Great workout spot with amazing instructors. I'm really happy with the results since I've joined. Their membership program is really flexible and easy to use. Highly recommend!

Great spot to get your sweat in! They even have an infrared sauna and cold plunge to bulletproof health and wellness!!

Just came for my first class - a leg focused workout. I was nervous because my legs are super sore today, but thankfully the class focused on lower body muscles while also being a full body workout. As someone who’s getting back into shape, I loved that I was able to modify the difficulty to my comfort level. Teacher was awesome and super supportive, great playlist, great workout, overall great experience! Will definitely come back!
