A Brutally Honest Review of Peak City Gym from Former Member - Yikes!

 

A Brutally Honest Review of Peak City Gym


WARNING: We understand that your opinion of Peak City Gym, the services it provides, and the coaches that train there may change after reading the following.

 

It's a risk we are willing to take because we know that you deserve the truth...

 

 

Kelley Greeson, former PCG Member, writes:

 

"I rarely write reviews, but when I do, I include info that I would have found helpful when I was doing research.



A friend pointed me to a longevity podcast about a year ago, and I started binging Peter Attia's podcast, his book "Outlive," and other doctors' healthspan podcasts. 

 


 

When I learned about the accelerated rate at which people naturally lose muscle and bone mass as they age, I was shocked into taking action.

 

Plus, vainly, I didn't want to look scrawny anymore.

 

 

My husband and I researched and interviewed several workout options, including gyms, private training, and online classes. Peak City Gym aligned well with our fitness goals.  

 

What Peak City Gym offered that we were specifically seeking:

 

  • Whole-body resistance training at a level that fatigues without causing significant soreness afterwards.

      

  • Three inspiring coaches who model and teach us how to exercise using proper form to avoid injury, always offering exercise accommodations for people with limitations due to back issues, knee pain, etc.

     

  • Small classes throughout the day with easy online signup for each class so that we have lots of flexibility to work around our busy schedules.

     

  • Individual attention and corrections in every class.

     

  • One-on-one counseling sessions with coaches to set personal goals and maximize our results, including discussions about nutrition and supplements.

     

  • A friendly, supportive atmosphere that encourages us to look forward to working as hard as we want to.

      

No mirrors. 

 

No one filming their workouts for TikTok. 

 

No unfamiliar, over-stimulating workout music that only gym rats have ever heard.

 

No young people making us feel old and under-muscled (my husband is in his 60s, and I'm...younger than he is).

 


 

On a personal note, I have had major surgeries on three body parts, including a significantly fused spine for scoliosis in my 40s and rotator-cuff shoulder surgery a few years ago.

 

I consulted a physical therapist at the Spine Center at UNC last month to make sure that my training at Peak City Gym is not harmful. After describing my PCG workouts, the therapist affirmed that this protocol of working out, concentrating on my core, is extremely beneficial for me, and he wished all his patients would commit to this type of exercise. 

 

I feel very comfortable that the coaches at Peak City Gym are helping me to exercise safely.



While we are fairly frugal and I never imagined we would pay to belong to a gym, it is worth the money for us because of the value of how much it has improved many aspects of our health and our lives. 

 

In 6 months, my lean muscle mass improved from the 15th percentile to the 50th percentile for my age. I have more energy. I look better. I feel stronger. I never thought I could accomplish this.

 

Thank you, Peak City Gym!"

 

 

 

Did this review trigger you?

If you're not a member of PCG yet and not receiving this same level of service and training at your gym, it should have.

Shocking: Dragged and Beaten

Image
SHOCKING: DRAGGED AND BEATEN I was SHOCKED when I walked into his house last night. My Dad was sprawled out on his living room floor, short of breath, and pleading for help. It looked like he had been repeatedly dragged from a chair and beaten for nearly 30 minutes. It turns out that's exactly what had happened. My almost-two-year-old had been instructing -- her  68-year-old Papa  to sit in her toddler-sized chair only to immediately pull on his shirt until he fell to the floor. The thud of him hitting the floor was only muffled by the hearty and contagious belly laugh from his assailant. After a brief scrap on the floor, in which my Dad was no competition for his laughter-fueled granddaughter, he was instructed to get up and sit back in the chair. This had been on repeat for nearly 30 minutes before I arrived! Aside from being concerned that my daughter is already a bully and brute... Witnessing moments like these is particularly special and cool to me for a multitude of reas...

Former NHL Player Gives Opinion on Peak City Gym After 1 Year

Former NHL Player Gives His Opinion on Fitness-Over-Forty Training Gym   CONTEXT: Tim Brent has been a member of Peak City Gym since July of 2022.  This review was  written in July of 2023.   He joined before he turned  forty and for the last 3 years Tim has been a  staple in our 6am small  group training  sessions.  In July of  2023, Tim surprised my brother and I  with the following: "Hey Guys,  ...I really appreciate you both and PCG. You guys are doing a really   great job and I know some days it's probably hard to get up in the mornings to come in and train the likes of   me, but it really makes a difference in people's lives. Mine included.    I've been offered free memberships at other places,  etc in  exchange for a review and have declined because I don't tie myself to something I don't   believe in.    I do believe in what you guys are doing ...
