Over my last 10 years, I have been in a struggle to find answers to permanent lifestyle changes,…read moreweight loss, muscle building and improving my health. All because, I was lost for DIRECTION and TRUTH that I can trust to make these changes. I have been through meniscus surgery in my right knee, bypass surgery and I still could not find a solution to change and reverse my situation. I still had knee pain and a lack of energy .....UNTIL April 19, 2018. I found my answers at THE FACILITY - FOR PERSONAL TRAINING in Boca Raton owned by a father-daughter team, Fred and Narisa Steinberg. Prior to my new adventure, I have been walking and walking (feeling like Forest Gump), and with the knowledge of a lifetime of weight lifting for sports or conditioning, OR WHAT I THOUGHT I HAD KNOWLEDGE OF, tried to do this myself, not knowing the secrets to unlocking my true potential. I worked with trainers at local gyms with what they called "TRAINERS", that have no knowledge of anatomy orthopedically or otherwise. I even tore my meniscus as a result of a training session with a trainer who pushed me indefinitely. THE FACILITY only hires trainers with four year degrees in Exercise Science, Physiology and Kinesiology. Only professionals are aloud to train their clients. The equipment is state of the art, custom built for safety and minimal joint pressure, geared only to apply stress on specific muscle groups, and after one month, I realized that in a one hour training session, I may do 20 to 30 different combinations of muscle building techniques with their weight machines and a combination of free weights and TRX techniques using my own body weight, only concentrating on one to two muscle groups per session. The Facility is a complete GOAL ORIENTED program. When you first start, they use the IN BODY analysis, which measures your whole body composition, of BODY FAT MASS vs. LEAN BODY MASS (Muscle), BMI (Body Mass Index) and PBF (Percent Body Fat). IN BODY even tracks a "Segmental Fat Analysis" and "Segmented Lean Analysis" which tells me the composition in separate body parts (TRUCK, LEGS , ARMS). Lastly and most important, every month after I train I redo the test to see how much body fat is lost and how much muscle mass is gained to develop a Body Composition History. Then the the work began!!! Fred assigned a personal trainer, John, who I would be working with 3 times a week. All well and good, but the program is set up such that the client and the trainer work as a TEAM to accomplish these goals. He is responsible for my results by knowing how far to push me to my next level for conditioning and muscle building, but I am responsible for my lifestyle outside The Facility in regards to how I eat, knowing my food groups to eats, and the foods within those groups. The trainers MUST succeed, and if they do, they get bonuses for your results. If they don't then you are assigned to a trainer that WILL get you the results, no questions asked. John has helped me understand my body, has showed me what each motion or segment of training does to each body part, makes sure that positioning is done right to accomplish the goal intended, and even discusses Nutrition to help guide proper nourishment during training. He pushes me to new levels, building new on new muscle. The Facility is not a "workout gym" but is a very medium size, professional, clean and well organized operation designed to meet the goals of the client. Many orthopedic doctors, cardiologists, nurses, professional athletes from all over come here to take control of their health and their life. Upstairs there is a men's and woman's locker room with a bathroom and shower. Towels are supplied by The Facility. There is also a lounge upstairs with a big screen TV to relax if you have time. The Facility is ranked #50 in the nation for a physical fitness facility by Men's Health and Yelp and #1 in the State of Florida. There is no membership fee or set commitment for sessions required. They will refund the money if sessions are payed in advance and not used. I pay for one month at a time for my 3 sessions a week. I want to give John a big Shout Out and THANK YOU, for the success so far in my first month. RESULTS: Lost 11 pounds of body fat, reduced my Body Fat Mass by 3%, Gained 1 pound of lean muscle and lost 7.5 lbs. on the IN BODY analysis, 10 lbs on my home scale. The first question people ask is "how much does it cost". My answer is this: It is relative to how much you care about your health and your body. I spent almost the same amount on a weeks worth of dining out, grocery bills are less and THERE IS NOT A PRICE TO PUT ON YOUR HEALTH. I want to thank Fred, Narisa and John for fulfilling a void that has now given me energy, youth and NO KNEE PAIN, anymore!!! I work outside the house for hours with no pain and a ton of energy and sleep better. Starting to feel like I am 15 years younger. THE JOURNEY CONTINUES!!!

The kind of good that inspires and helps you to achieve maximum benefit. My father had been active all his life, but had heart surgery about a year ago. His doctors stressed the importance of working out, but he did not know where to begin and was getting quite sedentary. After doing scrupulous research, I was blessed to find Elie and his team. Since my dad began working with Elie, my father sometimes "forgets" to use his walker. :) His gait, strength, and overall movement are more self-assured and balanced, and he and the rest of the family are overjoyed. He started with once a week and now Elie and his team go to my father's house and work out with him three times a week. My father is a very strong personality, so the fact that he really loves and is completely comfortable with the whole team speaks volumes. They are SuperTrainer angels. I can, without any reservation, highly recommend Elie and his team to help you get every great result you want (and those you even dream about!) and more through their comprehensive and expert knowledge of the body and their superior training.

Under this law, gyms are only allowed a 3-day cancellation window, not the 30-day notice this gym requires, even after you've paid for the first and last month's membership. If you cancel on the 1st of the month, their 30-day policy might force you to pay for an additional month, which is not only illogical but also unlawful. Before signing any contract, be aware that you're supposed to be dealing with a licensed Health Studio. Check the contract for the health studio license number--this is required by law. Better yet, ask them to show you their valid Florida Health Studio license. For a company that claims to care about its members, it's oddly clear that they have no regard for your consumer rights.

Mark not only set a high standard for me, but also taught me how to observe what I eat and keep a healthy diet.

With comparison, that's when I realize how good Mark was. He trained me to be the strongest ever in my life. I had the best shape during that time. I would walk on the street and random people commented "you must've been working out!" He was so motivating, and so convincing. You would naturally trust him. After four years I'm writing this review, with my highest recommendation. If I ever travel back, I will want to schedule another session with him.
