I am looking around for a new gym. Seems like I find a gym and then life throws me a ball and I am…read morein search of another gym. So I came here using my 1 week free pass to check it out before I commit to a year (or 2) membership. There are two levels with the changing rooms and spin room on the lower level with the main check in desk. The upper level has the fitness room, cardio equipment and weights. This is a fairly small local place but is in clean decent shape. They do have up to date equipment and offer some good classes. The spin classes in the morning at 6 are full with a wait list. Although it is hard to get in the fact that it is full speaks for itself. I myself haven't taken a class and am thinking about it but augh 6 am to be on a bike. These folks really mean it! I've taken the step class and the Zumba and they were awesome. I def got my cardio work out. I am still need to test run a few others but this place may work. It is close to the commuter rail so getting off the train and right over for a work out is doable (not sure if this is a word). They do have a pool although I am not a swimmer. The weight room is a bit small but they have the basics and there are a mix of people at different times. Not sure I am finding the right workout group yet. I am looking for an energetic group of folks to help get me motivated and kick me into gear to get off my butt. I am not sure this is it. They will give you a lock for the lockers when you give them your keys and you can use the supplies such as hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, shower soap too since all are fully stocked and right in the showers. It is clean and private. There is plenty of parking and the area seems safe and fairly well lit. I am still looking...

It was a tough pill to swallow as a former college athlete and I was not ready to hang them up just yet! My initial reservations were due to the fact that I was afraid I would not be able to do the things I used to be able to do. Mike's progression through his individualized training have me back in a healthy place and allow me to compete again on the lacrosse field. He started me off at a pace that was right for me and progressed the intensity and exercises to build my confidence and overall health back to where it should be.

Rachel built a workout routine for me especially for tennis. With that we worked on cardio, (aerobic and anaerobic fitness), along with footwork, legs, core and upper body strength.

For over 10 years, I have been slowly recovering from an upper back/shoulder injury. During this…read moretime, I have seen multiple physical therapists, muscular therapists, and personal trainers. They have helped me to manage pain, build muscle and get me to a safe place of doing activities of daily living (ADLs) without re-injury. ADL's like throwing a ball for my dog, holding a blower dryer to dry my hair, reaching for a hanger, and reaching for a food item in my kitchen cupboard. I always had to be very self-conscious when reaching or holding my hand above my head as the slightest movement could cause one of my ribs in my upper back to dislocate. I used to be a runner and competed in races. I had to stop because my upper body wasn't strong enough to support my running form. My shoulder would fatigue quickly and I would reinjure myself. Working with Rachel during these past couple of months have been transformative for me. She is the first trainer to push me beyond my safe limits, help me increase my confidence, get me to feel stronger, and convince me that I can be stronger. I used to see physical activity as a chore to deal with pain management and get through the day safely. I now see physical activity as a way of living to be stronger. I can see myself on my way of becoming an athlete again. The self-conscious part of me still exists when I think about reaching my hand above my head but I'm not as fearful as I was. This is huge considering I'm 43 years old. I thought at my age it was not possible for me to gain my athletic life back and I'm on my way of doing so.

I found Impact through a google search and was intrigued by the small group personal training format and decided to give it a try. From the moment I first contacted the gym, Peter was incredibly attentive and made sure to understand my "why" so that he could best support me in my fitness journey. Classes are certainly difficult, but not so hard as to leave you feeling defeated which I appreciate. Peter & his team are willing to put as much effort and time into your journey as you are! I am now 20 weeks pregnant, and I couldn't be more grateful for Impact throughout this process. It has made me stronger and leaner (until I got pregnant) and now has left me feeling strong, capable and MOBILE over the last 20 weeks. I can't stop saying how great I've felt so far throughout this first half of my pregnancy and I attribute a good amount of that to the type of work we do at Impact. The modifications allow me to continue to get a great workout but take into account that changes my body is going through and I value how much Peter & his team are able to adjust the workouts to fit whatever you are dealing with in life. Can't wait to continue exercising through the next 20 weeks and then to build my strength back up post baby!
