Founders HIIT & Strength Club

This is THE place for high intensity interval training (HIIT) classes in Albany and Delmar. Period. Classes are broken down into 6 - 12 stations that last 2 – 5 minutes depending on the class. For example, Foundry’s signature class, Flight, consists of 8 stations performed for 2 minutes each and the cycle is repeated twice. The exercises are varied with a focus on major muscle groups (e.g., chest presses, jump squats). New exercises are introduced almost every class; fun stuff, like throwing a giant 14 lb ball against a wall. The owners at Foundry are incredibly helpful and are sincere in their investment in your success. I love that they do not push extra products or use hard sales tactics. The instructors are phenomenal – talented athletes who keep you motivated with great music, words of encouragement and prodding to lift a little more or do one more rep when you most need it. Other stuff I love about Foundry: Classes that start at 6:15. Makes it possible to go before work without waking up absurdly early Efficient 45 minute classes. No wasted time BSing after class has started. An intensity level that is hard but does not cause or aggravate injuries. I have injuries in my knee, hip and shoulder from decades of sports, but somehow can do the HIIT classes here, probably because the instructors are excellent at providing alternative exercises on the spot. I tried Crossfit twice and was injured within weeks both times. My neighbor and I joined at the same time and between the two of us, we have lost over 40 lbs. It’s fun and it works. I’m so glad I joined!

This is a great gym! Between the owners, trainers, and the other people that workout there, it is the perfect end (or beginning) to a day! I strongly recommend this gym to anyone that is looking to get in shape, have personal attention from trainers, and work in a team atmosphere!
