Move by BJC - Gym in St Louis

Erin, the massage therapist, is AMAZING. I get massages monthly at various locations and it was truly the best I've ever had in my life. She listened to exactly what was bothering me and areas to avoid. The pressure was perfect and I walked out feeling so relaxed.

My husband and I enjoy working out at this gym. The cortex location is central in the city and their new equipment and space are a major upgrade from the past location. Those are all perks, but the best part and the reason we keep our membership is my wonderful experience with Ramya, one of the personal trainers. I work out with her 2-3 times/week and she is an exceptional trainer. She keeps me motivated in my fitness goals and she intuitively knows the right amount to push you to do your best while also being sensitive to any special limitations or pain. She is very adaptable with her workout plans to help you achieve the most from your session and it's been a wonderful experience. I've worked out with four different trainers over the past few years with mixed results, but I cannot recommend Ramya enough. If you want to jump start your fitness goals or learn new exercises to add to your routine, you won't regret working with her.

The gym is a decent size and clean. There are only a couple of squat racks/deadlift platforms, so it can be challenging to do these lifts during peak hours. I would personally prefer a 24 hour gym, but this is the best option for me in this area. There is a LOT of cardio equipment, if that is your forte.

Gym has good space and equipment but the staff could use a bit of customer service training. I've interacted with a gentleman there who would barely look at me when spoken to and had a general "don't care" attitude. The men's locker room was out of body wash and shampoo for a week. If this is supposed to be a different kind of experience, it is missing the mark.
