Grind House

In response to a recent post from Gabriela B. regarding “Brandon’s boxing class:” A bunch of us members have had Brandon as a group fitness instructor (boxing, team training, HIIT, etc.), from approx 2017 to present day (dating as far back as when the facility had been a Retro Fitness). You are sorely mistaken (and most likely suffer from poor push-up skills and thin skin). Brandom is spunky, comical, and personable. His own personal “push-up game” is also quite excellent (in the case you had any concern over his technique). But yes, you are correct- if someone is seeking out 45-60 mins of positive affirmations, celebration of their fitness accolades, and trophy/cookie/gold star awarding in a group setting, his is not the class to attend. He is quite FAR from lazy. On the contrary, Brandon has (on MANY occasions over the years) even stayed with students after a class (on his own time/free of charge), to assist with skills that would benefit from improvement, or even spend more time with folks if they felt they needed to get more work in and for whatever reason had not fatigued to the extent they had desired on that particular day. He is also exceedingly attentive and concerned should a student express uncertainty or concern about something. In addition, he is refreshingly receptive to student suggestions/feedback. But… better luck next time!

Gym was fine while using it. Decent equipment. I cancelled the membership several months ago. Grind pretends I had not cancelled membership and sends daily requests of payment. To the point beyond any respectable business. I closed the account in person and in on the phone and in email replies. Grind House refused to acknowledge my closing membership. Strange way to do business. I would even call it harassment.

Best gym for the price in the area! Been going here for almost a year now and love it.

I went to Grind House for a boxing class with Brandon. The class itself was good, but he is the worst instructor I’ve ever had. He screamed that I was doing the worst push ups that he had ever seen (lol), but then refused to teach me how to do better. He is lazy and prefers to make fun than actually instruct.
