Brickz Fitness

Best Gym in ABQ! definitely worth your time and $. All the staff make you feel welcomed and actually care about your goals and they will do everything they can to help you meet them. group training classes are a great way to stay focused and get a good workout in. I highly recommen.

Above standard gym for cleanliness, state of the art equipment and custom meal plan. If you're looking for a home gym. Where you get a killer workout and customized personal training. Friendly and positive atmosphere Brickz fitness could be a perfect fit for your fitness needs.

In my opinion...Cons: *grab your popcorn*-The first turn off was signing up for a trial class- at 5 am, and being told when I got there my spot was taken by paying members. -The second was walking into the gym and after doing body scans (InBody) they show you a picture of womens' midsections and body fat and ask you "which do you want your body to look like?" This was SUCH a turn off for me but for some reason I decided to give it a chance. I understand a metric is needed and this may work for a lot of people, seems like it does, but it was just so ick to me as well as unrealistic.-Turns out this is one of those money maker gyms that talks in circles and confuses you to make you think you are signing up for the 6 week program they say they are putting you on, only for me to attempt to cancel within the 15 days request period and learn the contract I signed was apparently for a 12 months! READ THE FINE PRINT AND GET A COPY OF YOUR CONTRACT!! I feel like this whole situation was crafted in a distinct way to no allow you to understand fully, to sign, and to not give you a copy of your contract but think you got away with a good deal/membership.-The gym was unfriendly and unwelcoming. They have a good facade going making it seem like they are into building community. They have group hikes, bike rides and spirit days, but when it came to time inside the gym my experience was that no one cared if I was there or not. I don't need to be best friends with everyone or anyone for that matter, but especially when working out before the crack of dawn a "Hi" or 'Hello" goes a long way. That's a big factor in wanting to come back to a gym, especially a small one like this. This is not your big box gym after all. At minimum the coaches should offer a greeting. The group I trained with was very clicky. I will say the afternoon groups seemed to be more welcoming. After making my feelings on the matter known to the gym owner it seemed there had been a coaches meeting or something because I got more "Hi's" and "How are you's?" from the staff in my last week there then in my previous 5 weeks combined.-The 6 week program: overall fine, but be wary of the nutrition program. I feel like it was portrayed as they would give you meal plans and/or outlines and what to eat. They give you a list of foods to eat and everyone gets the same foods and eats the same amount. That's the plan. -When you sign up for strength classes you are allotted a time slot which is yours for the day and time you sign up for each week. Fine. What is annoying is that if you can't make that time they don't have an app where you can change your time to or a mindbody type thing where you can swap. You text the coaches to see if there is room in the class you want to be in. This is SUPER ANNOYING because most of the time I don't' know who is coaching what class so then they are texting each other to see if it's ok OR they just say "I'm sure it'll be fine" Which would maybe be fine if I didn't get booted out of my first attempt at class and I'm not trying to wake up and be at the gym at 5am to not get to do the workout I signed up for or was told it would be fine to to come to! Pros: -Clean facility-Good equipment-Workouts were niceOverall I would not recommend. I think they are in it for the money and while we were able to come to a "compromise" for the agreement I signed there were so many red flags I should've listened to. I chose Brickz because when I searched it was one of the only gyms I found with small group training. JUST BE CAREFUL, MAKE SURE YOU READ EVERYTHING AND THOROUGHLY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SIGNING UP FOR BEFORE YOU DO, AS WELL AS FEEL COMFORTABLE. Hopefully some of my frustrations will allow them to change some of their business practices.

warning*beware*warning*beware*warning*bewareyou have been warned brickz fitness is not reputable.they project a professional façade but as predatory as they come.

This place really meets up to the expectations they set. All of the trainers and employees are a small group, and they make their best effort to learn your name and your face. The trainers make themselves as supportive and attainable as they can and do their best to modify to your body goals. I love this place and say it is worth every penny.
