I agree with the 1-star reviews

Experienced a very pressured, even passive- aggressive sales pitch at their Beford gym. Their website basically says they're selective as to their members and that not everyone can "get in." That must be a ploy to create the illusion of exclusivity-what a crock! They even gave me the "open a franchise" sales pitch. How ridiculous. I suspect those 5-star ratings are filled out by the franchise owners themselves, as they don't resemble anything of my experience. Not at all impressed.
- Pros: Nothing
- Cons: Feeling like was nearly duped by a slick salesteam.

Very good experience

I'm sorry for those individuals who felt they did not get their money's worth of services. $3000 is a lot -- and a wonderful motivator. I train approx. three times each week -- which averages $19/hour. I have used other professional trainers, but never less than $60/hour. During the hour I am there I am always being encouraged and pushed to the extreme. It is difficult, but the results are wonderful. And when my form is incorrect, the trainer is quickly at my side to correct it. As far as a nutrionist goes, I find the owner consistent in his suggestions, and yes they are printed out. The "problem" I find is that I am not as consistent -- frequently diverting from the suggested foods only to find that I'm the one sabbotaging my goal. Exercise is hard; eating the correct foods for my body shape even harder. However, that's the contract I signed and am expected to comply with.
- Pros: Self discipline
- Cons: Self discipline

I've been going to Get in Shape for Women in Arlington since it opened over a year ago and look forward to every workout! The trainers and owner are hands on and work closely with you to accomplish your goals! I've learned a lot of different techniques and it's been a total success! I recommend it to anyone looking for something different with great results!
- Pros: personal trainer, clean and fun
