The Best Local Gym in Prospect Heights to Get into Serious Shape

I love Martial Arts USA on Washington!! The gym is a Zen "Dojo" with incredibly skilled professors and a non-competitive, but personally intensive atmosphere. And, I say this as a woman approaching her late 40's, too!
You see, I'm in great shape, but I'm no Zumba gal. Not into Soul Cycle or Pilates either. But, in addition to lots of running and yoga, I take Muay Thai and Cardio Kickboxing classes at Martial Arts USA every week. The instruction and energy level of the classes is second to none. And, I say this having been a member of every gym in NYC over the past 25 years, including Equinox, Crunch, Clay and Reebok. Face it, many times the smallest, local and most personalized gyms are the best places to unwind and get into fantastic shape. Martial Arts USA is one of them.
