ShockYard fitness has changed my life! I can honestly say joining this amazing gym was one of the best decisions I have made in a long time. I was never one to enjoy working out in the past, literally I hated it. Over these past months of attending their boot camps, Laura and Casey have completely changed my outlook on exercise.

2. Personal training. Technically it's small group training, but often the group
