Dropped ~$35 for a Pilates drop-in — class was good, instructor knew their stuff, but the space felt tight and a little too boutique-y for me. Gym’s cozy, got your basics like cardio machines and kettlebells, but for the price, I kinda expected more. Staff was polite but not super welcoming. Cool spot if you’re nearby, but probably wouldn’t make it my main gym.

I started personal training at Lateral last year. I love every bit of it- the space is amazing, has every equipment you need, it very clean and layout is amazing. The owner and trainers are super knowledgeable and friendly. At times when I train alone, the trainers around will always help with form correction and techniques 100% recommend for personal training or using the space for your own workouts.

I’ve been training at Lateral Fitness for the past 8 years, and it’s been an amazing experience! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the gym is well-equipped, and it’s always kept spotlessly clean. Eric, the owner, runs a top-notch business and takes pride in maintaining and upgrading the facility. I couldn’t ask for a better place to train!

Owner and staff are super friendly. I used this gym for both lunchtime workouts and PT when I dislocated my shoulder. Has all the equipment you need without the crowd.

I have been with Lateral Fitness since it opened (11.5 years ago) and I have been training with the owner, Erik, for 22 years. He runs one of the best fitness center in the fitness industry. It is always clean, with the state of the art equipment. The trainers there are amongst the best there is in the industry and the front desk staff are always very friendly and welcoming. If I miss a session and I bring that to the owners attention, I am immediately credited. I can not say one bad thing about Lateral Fitness.
