"Where do I start?! Working out by myself at a regular gym has never been fun for me so having a place that makes working out fun is truly special. Hype has provided a place where I can leave my worries at the door and get in a killer workout with my friends. The positivity and encouragement from the instructors, the music, and the camaraderie and friendships make Hype like no other gym I’ve been to."

"When asked what Hype means to me, I can say so many things. Hype is not just any other fitness studio. Yes, they offer many different fitness classes for ALL levels from beginners to advanced, but it is so much more. It is a place where there is absolutely NO JUDGEMENT.  I have never felt out of place or uncomfortable. Everyone is always welcoming and helpful in every way possible. Every time I walk through the doors, I am greeted with open arms. We are like one big family at Hype. Its a place I can go to get a great workout in, I can go when I am stressed and take my frustrations out on the bike, or I can just cry and vent and open up to all my friends and then take it out on the boxing bag. I have learned so much like how to push myself to the fullest and go out of my comfort zone. Even if I get there feeling drained, I leave with so much energy. All Hype does is make me feel better about myself. Its a place I go to have ME TIME!! I definitely recommend everyone to come and give it a try. You will be hooked! I AM!! I absolutely love my Hype family."

"When I found out Sam was opening up a studio after Salt closed, I was over the moon! It might just be a building to some, but Hype is so much more to me. From the amazing instructors, fellow riders, the lights, amazing playlists, it's my world 4 days a week. 

You leave your worries & troubles at the door and enter a place that lets you be you. I could go on and on  about how much Hype means to me (I'm a Gemini, we love to talk), but I'm sure there's a limit to how long a post can be. So if you or a friend have ever wanted to give Hype House a chance, what are you waiting for! GO NOW!!"

"Hype has a sense of community that you don’t get in a regular gym. The instructors and workouts are always awesome and different but it’s the people that make it what it is! Being a busy working mom, the class times and format allow me to fit it into my crazy schedule. I schedule my workout, just like a meeting or baseball practice, I commit and it goes on the calendar… but let’s be honest it’s also a much needed therapy session sometimes!" 

"Hype has become my home away from home.  Most who know me, know I am a very social person.  I enjoy working out with other people and Hype provides me with that. These people have become my motivators, my cheerleaders, my goal keepers. But most importantly, my friends and family. When I walk into hype I feel like I belong there, like I am home. The workouts are awesome and make me feel so good! I can't imagine being anywhere else!" 

"Did I ever think that taking a few kickboxing classes would lead me to running my first 5K (and more since then) and gaining the confidence to see what my body’s strength is truly capable of? No, but that’s what happened at Hype House!

I started at Hype when I heard my good friend, Kerrie, was going to be an instructor for their kickboxing classes. I went in initially to support her and instantly fell in love with Hype House as a whole. The immediate good willed energy helped me feel confident even though I had no idea what I was doing. Hype is a place that genuinely makes you leave any stress at the door the second you walk in. It’s impossible to feel any negative way the moment you see everyone in there because they are so welcoming, helpful, funny, and accepting- instructors and the people taking the class. As a mother who has many hours of conversations with her toddler, Hype is a place to not only get a killer workout in a reasonable amount of time (which is perfect for this mama) but also have some laughs and great conversations. You have a sense of belonging. I’ve never felt as comfortable, strong, and capable in any fitness environment as much as I have there."

"As cliché as it sounds Hype has become my home away from home. I moved to St. Mary's for work and didn't know a soul. I slowly branched out and found this amazing group of people who not only encourage but also push and challenge me to be the best version of myself. Whether it's a tough round of boxing, a kick ass spin class or tire flipping in the parking lot I know I am always going to leave feeling better and sweatier than I walked in."

 "You feel it as soon as you walk through the doors, this place not only feeds your body but your soul. Its a community of people who motivate you to challenge yourself, to do more than you thought you ever could. At Hype House we are family and everyone is a Beautiful Badass Queen."

"My fitness journey has definitely changed over the last few years . As much as we don't want to admit, injuries and years can definitely alter how we workout . For me, Hype is and always will be my gym . When you know that you can't give 100% they always are there to help you. When I walk through those doors I know they will support me and find the best way to work out on that day, week or month. Just knowing that I can Always walk through those doors and feel as though I am supported changes my mindset.  I consider them my friends and family. I never leave without  feeling like I have given it my all, no matter what level that is . That means some weeks when I can't do the HIIT, lifting or boxing that I love, I know they will support me and help me to alter my routine and modify the workout to best fit what my body needs. I'm proud to say I have made so many good friends and family here. They are always by my side helping me continue to grow and change."

"I started at Hype as an overwhelmed mom looking for an outlet to better myself mentally and physically. In my first ride I knew I was home. I had struggled with my health for years. I finally found an exercise that didn't drain me, and actually make me feel better. The community that welcomed me was a massive bonus. The instructor's guidance allowed me to try workouts I didn't even think I'd ever be able to do again. very class I left feeling stronger, empowered, and lifted. Now over a year laterI have become an instructor myself, and get to share those same feelings with every person who comes to my classes, it's incredible. It's everything I could have ever hoped for & then some."

"When I started at Hype it was just for the spin class. Inside that dark room with loud music I am able to leave my stress and anxiety on the floor. It is a cardio workout that leaves me feeling refreshed. What I get at Hype is all that and a group of amazing supportive women. No matter my mood, they are always there to support me, and get in a kick-ass workout. I have found a new love for boxing and weight lifting too. No matter how intense, no matter what is being asked of me, whenever I walk out of Hype, I always feel like a badass ready to take on whatever is thrown at me."

"You are looking at 195 years and 3 generations of badassery!

Hype House has become a place to set aside stress and daily wear and tear, and grow-

Grow confident, grow inspiration, and grow strong!!"

 “Hype = power house. It’s the place I go to when I need to challenge myself. I’m always surrounded by people there who will make me feel like anything is possible. Hype allows me to do things I never thought was possible like flipping a 100 pound tire. Hype will never give up on you!"

"Two years ago I left the military after serving in the Air Force for over 10 years. I joined the Hype House in hopes of getting back into shape, but with expectations that I was walking into another gym that I was going to give up on a month later! The people at Hype quickly became my family and reminded me of the camaraderie I deeply missed that I shared with the Airmen I served with. They are who I lean on when I’m having a hard day, when I am struggling to get through a workout, and when I need somewhere to take out the weeks stress. I am looking and feeling better emotionally and physically every single day and it is all thanks to this bad ass group of people. They don’t just show up for themselves, they show up for each other!"

"Hype House is my home away from home! It's a place where you can leave everything at the door and spin, lift, punch and run your stress away. 

Your surrounded by people who not only motivate you to push your hardest, but also support you every step of the way!

Hype House is a family so much so that even Maddie is welcome to join the fun weekly!

It's not just a place to work out, it's a place to make lasting friendships!!"

"To me, Hype is a place to come and have fun while also challenging myself and getting a great workout! As a military spouse, I am used to moving to a new area without friends. From day one, I could tell Hype was more than just a gym, it was a community. No matter what class I take; spin, boxing, or strength, I leave feeling sweaty and with a positive attitude- What more could you ask for!"

"“Hype is the type of place to challenge you and show you that you are stronger than you think you are! No matter what sort of day I am having, I know I can show up to Hype, knock out a killer workout, leave all the bullshit on the floor, and walk out feeling like a total badass! Hype is my home away from home. From the moment you walk through the doors, you become part of this crazy tribe of amazing people who not only build you up in class, but become lifelong friends that build you up through this crazy life as well!”
