A great place to get in shape

by EJMM1222

I love the location. I'm able to work out before work or even go during lunch, because it is so close to my office. The facility is extremely clean, so I feel comfortable getting ready for work there. The staff is great and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone.

• Pros: location, location, location

Team Awesome!

by TPK23

Best decision I've ever made to train w/ Grant @ T2F -Downtown. He listens, is mindful of what my goals are and continues to push me on a daily basis. Trainers at T2F are great and a lot of fun. It really is my home away from home and to me the happiest place on earth. People are friendly and encouraging. Not an intimidating gym whatsoever and super clean. Gotta come check it out I'm sure you'll love it like the rest of us!

• Pros: Trainers, Location & Fun Environment
• Cons: None to me

Takes2--Will Kick Your ABS

by JennShrive71

I started with Takes2 @ the Roundabout location in Jan 08’ with a personal trainer and then soon after moved to the downtown location as my office is just across the street. Having a trainer surely has it’s benefits, but even if you don’t have a personal trainer the trainer’s there will ensure you do have proper form. This is how I knew, I had to hire Grant. I have been training with Grant since January of this year and I have had the best success in such a short time. He really knows how to get the most out of his clients. I have never been happier and have the self confidence I have now.

The perks of the gym are it’s small, clean, up to date equipment and the friendliest trainers in town. You will never be intimidated here as there are people in all shapes and sizes and everyone is at different levels.

I highly recommend this gym—it is a great place to set and meet your Goals and Have Fun while doing it!

• Pros: Close to Work, friendly staff, Clean, Beast
• Cons: Panera

Takes 2 is wonderful!

by JLS823

I love this gym! Not only is it convenient, clean and updated, the staff is super friendly and the environment is much like that of a family....it is not an intimidating place at all. And the packages for personal training are very reasonable. I feel very at home here and grateful that they opened a downtown location. I also highly recommend Grant...he's the sh*t!

• Pros: Awesome personal training (esp. Grant) & pristine facilities
• Cons: None

Home away from home.

by krhuff

I've been a Takes 2 member since January 2007 and I can not say enough good things about this gym! Grant approached me soon after joining the gym as I was chugging along slowly on the stationary bike to introduce himself and ask what my ultimate goals were. He encouraged me to think about training and gave me the push I needed to start my weight loss journey. 30 pounds and a half-marathon later I am still rockin' it! I have found an amazing supporter in him - when my will power has diminished or my diet just isn't as it should be - he is there to encourage and inspire me. He has been the one constant throughout these last 2.5 years and he makes it so easy to stay focused and excited about the changes still to come. He gets just as excited as I do when I drop a pound, find myself in a new size, or notice a change in my body and that is so motivational. This is the least intimidating gym EVER. The trainers/gym staff are super friendly and everyone is on a first name basis. Parking is easy, the equipment is new, the lay-out is great, and all that light streaming through those floor-to-ceiling glass windows definitely helps keep up the energy level!

Unique environment

by Susanheard

I started with Takes2 nearly 5 years ago at the Roundabout location but moved Downtown with my trainer of more than 2 year, Grant Belden. My office is actually on the same floor as the Roundabout location, but continuing with Grant makes it worth the short drive. Parking is easy and convenient and the gym is sparkling clean and filled with light. The up-to-date equipment makes it easy to vary my cardio routine and the TV screen on each machine makes routines go by fast. The best thing about this gym is that clients come in all shapes, sizes, ages, and fitness levels, but the staff is friendly, helpful and encouraging to everyone. As one of the older regulars, I NEVER feel out of place. This is a very motivating place to come to get into shape and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

• Pros: Super friendly staff

Unsurpassed Trainers, Atmosphere and Equipment

by LLane

I've been working toward my fitness goals at Takes2 for about four years now. I started out with a regular membership but soon hired Grant at the Downtown location as my trainer once I saw the benefit of having a trainer. Eventually I acquired enough skills and confidence to train on my own. The greatest thing is that regardless of where I was with my progress and even when I wasn't training with Grant, I could always ask for advice (from Grant or anyone of the other capable staff) or even a suggestion for a new challenge for the ever stubborn gluteus maximus or whatever else. Takes2 Downtown has an incredibly supportive and fun vibe, which is why I will always belong to this gym. No one takes themselves too seriously, its well kept and maintained (with great locker and shower facilities) and there is mix of every fitness level. It's a gym for everyone and anyone!!!!

• Pros: Trainers, Vibe, Location, "The Beast!", 24hours

Great gym all around. No Joke.

by LANord

Takes 2 Fitness has been the best gym experience that I have ever had. The fact that the gym has many convenient locations to where I live is a plus, also you do not feel like another face in the crowd when you go. The trainers (not just your own) make a personal effort to get to know you, and that alone makes me want to come back each and every time. My trainer, Grant Belden, is the best out there - and no he did not pay me to say that. He has given me great results, and continues to improve upon his skills to make the process as beneficial for the client as possible. I can say this because I have been training with him for almost two years - pre-wedding, after wedding, during pregnancy and will be getting back to "normal" with him post baby. A word of advice - AVOID PANERA! While next door and very tasty...only use on your cheat days.

• Pros: Great Staff, Great Location, High Tech Equipment That is Easy to Use, You don't feel as if people are staring at you while you work out, You don't have to fight for a machine.
• Cons: Panera

Best Gym (and trainers) In Town!

by TBreckenridge

I love this location! The floor to ceiling windows help you forget that you are actually inside. This location has all the latest in equipment(individual tv's on all cardio equip) and a great women's locker room. I have been with Takes 2 for almost 2 years now working out with Grant Beldon....the best trainer in town. Actually all the trainers are great and I'm excited to see everyone in the mornings as we're one big happy family! Each session (for personal training) is customized to help you reach your goals......and altered even when you don't feel like being there! The only downfall? Smelling the freshly made bagels from panera breads in the morning.
