I hired Sam a year prior to Covid with a few goals in mind. 1) Establish a routine since I'm…read morestarting from zero. 2) Find a way to hold myself accountable to working out at least once/week without Sam. 3) Gain some type of noticeable muscle in my upper arms. Sam tailored a program that fit in my crazy schedule and he guided me through my own unique fitness journey. It wasn't about him-- he made it about ME. I've worked with PT's before when I was younger and was always them pushing "their new favorite circuits" or whatever new equipment when in reality, it wasn't about me or my goals. He's different because he did not do this! He does not fit the mold! I can't say enough about his professionalism, knowledge in the fitness world and the way he motivated me in such an uplifting positive way. I have yet to look into his 200 Day program because I'm in the middle of prepping for my law school exam but once I'm established I'll definitely do something with him in a group setting too. I feel like I'd do well in his outdoor circuits! If you want someone to break the mold, be your best friend and lead you to accomplish what YOU want to accomplish, Sam is your guy! P.S. my arms finally have definition that other people notice now.... Hallelujah!

Sam is the perfect trainer for someone who is trying to get in shape for the first time, or after a…read morelong period of not being active. The best way I can phrase it is ... he isn't "annoying." He'll push you and motivate you in a way that works for YOU. In my case, he could tell that positive reinforcement works better, so he is firm but not pushy or aggressive. He's also really great at explaining why a certain exercise is necessary and/or what it is doing to your body. Truly cannot recommend him enough :)

At first, Michael asked us what we wanted to get out of the training sessions and then tailored each session to meet our needs. Over time, he introduced new exercises and continually pushed us. Thanks to Michael, we are now in the best shape we have ever been and look forward to continue working with him to develop our fitness even more.

After expressing concerns to one of the owners about a safety issue, my membership was abruptly…read moreterminated and I was directed to leave immediately. My words were specific to a substitute group fitness instructor, whose class I had just attended. I stated the person was ill-prepared, reckless and unprofessional. I added that no one should teach step aerobics, etc. without proper training for the safety of the participants. Rather than acknowledging my concerns, he accused me of trying to dictate how to run his business. While arguing that he would not tolerate my criticism, he made two hurtful comments concerning my age and size. For added context, this was my first conversation with him and the first time I had ever voiced a complaint to management. The motto "go along to get along" serves people well at this gym, whereas offering constructive feedback may bruise the ego of the owner and result in adverse action. Despite the circumstances, it is best I find a new fitness center as I have become increasingly dissatisfied. Namely, Element's group fitness room and classes are not a priority (e.g., weak sound system, inconsistent fans/thermostat, no heart-rate charts, lack of cleanliness, limited number of quality substitute instructors).  I will miss many of the members and certain excellent instructors, but overall this gym is better-suited for users of weights and equipment.
