I can't recommend Lauren enough-- the experience truly changed my life. After trying MANY times to…read morelose weight on my own and failing, I finally invested in a Personal Trainer-- Lauren was recommended to me by a friend. I began with her at 183 pounds, and 6 months later I was down to 141! She taught me how to properly fuel my body, and didn't let me make excuses when things got hard. Lauren doesn't just help you lose the weight, she teaches you a whole new lifestyle. I was completely ignorant about nutrition before working with her. The experience has made me a better woman, mother, and wife. I have energy again, and I feel good about myself for the first time in 10+ years. I NEVER anticipated being a person who enjoyed working out-- but I CRAVE going to the gym now. Working with Lauren was one of the absolute best investments I have EVER made. If you're on the fence, just hop to the other side and give her a call. She's extremely down to earth, meets you where you're at, and works hard to personalize your individual experience!

Lauren is so great to work with. She really maintains perspective of her clients' goals. For me, I…read morehad no interest in competitions. I just wanted to lose body fat, get down to a good body fat percentage, and build new habits to allow me to live a flexible and social life while maintaining a healthy and fit physique. Over the course year year I saw great results in weight and inches lost. It was so refreshing to go in to see her over the course of a month and a half or so and see inches lost around my belly and waist while not necessarily seeing a change in the scale. She reassured me that consistency is key over and over. I had such a great experience and recommend Lauren to anyone.

I tried popular home workout plans and bought a membership to a big box gym, but it wasn't long before I dreaded my workouts due to lack of direction and minimal progress. I can confidently say that I have exceeded any fitness expectations that I previously set for myself, all because of the trainers at 181 Fitness, who are extremely knowledgeable and truly CARE about each client. They work with all fitness levels, to make the workouts work for you, not the reverse. If something doesn't feel right, I let one of the trainers know, and without hesitation they switch it out for a different exercise. Since joining 181, I now feel like each one of my workouts is well thought out and has a purpose. Can't recommend it highly enough!

Whether you are in the group class or the private sessions, a trainer works with you one on one to help meet your fitness needs. They observe your movements to make sure that your form is correct and to ensure you don't hurt yourself while trying to better yourself. Most importantly, the team at 181 is awesome. From Cody, to Jessie, to Tony, to Gabe, they welcome you and make you feel like family. If you've been thinking about "getting back in shape," stop proscrastinating. Make the call, because a year from now you will have wish you started yesterday.

UPDATE 18 months later (8/12/20): The 3 day cleanse turned out to be a game changer for me, because…read moreit started me on much healthier eating habits. After I wrote the review above, I ended up eating mostly vegan and no bread/rice/grains (took a couple days off for a rack of ribs and something else) until I got to 243 pounds, 32 pounds down.

I'm no longer doing mostly vegan, but still eat way more vegetables and less meat/dairy/sugar than before.

She makes you feel comfortable and confident. She gently guides you through the process, clearly explaining each step and what you may experience, without interrupting the process.

I don't leave many reviews, but I really wanted to take the time to write this. I had been feeling…read morereally stuck emotionally lately, and had my first healing session with Julie the other day. I genuinely had such a positive experience. I went into it open minded, but honestly wasn't sure exactly what to expect, or how it would work. Julie was so down to earth, non judgemental, and comfortable to work with, the next thing I new I had tears flowing and was releasing emotions I didn't even realize I was holding. I definitely didn't truly believe any pain could be relieved by her healing process, especially in one sessio, and was so humbled to experience myself how, as I released certain emotions, some back pain I was feeling eventually melted away to almost completely gone. I was honestly shocked, at how effective the process was, and now am really motivated to do mlre of the exercises she teaches. I wanted to write a little more for those truly interested, so they can get a sense of who she is. Julie is not only a natural, compassionate healer, but she is one of the most genuine people I've met in a while. We met last summer at the pool on our neighborhood, and just connected. I'm from Boston and her son's name was Boston , haha! From there, when we saw each other in passing, usually while she was out walking her dog, we got to talking. What I love about Julie is she's so good with animals, my 6 year old ( she gives such great parenting advice to me) and is just such an authentically kind person. I also respect that she is open minded (esp. with all spiritual beliefs/ religions), always learning, and she's not pushy at all with her business. I kept asking her questions about it because I have seen over and the past six months how she her self keeps improving her life. She looks so young for her age and is energetic, positive, has been losing weight and her skin is glowing for her age! She also is so honest and understands theat healing isn't linear and admits openly about how she is still healing and releasing emotions even after years ( she's been through a LOT of trauma) I also love Julie because I can see clearly that she's not just in this business for the money, she truly loves helping others improve, and she practices what she teaches. If you are struggling with any emotional or physical pain, or feeling stuck in life for whatever reason, I highly recommend trying out working with Julie. She's an amazing human, and she has a true gift for healing others. 2025

I am so glad I found Nicky. At 68 I have lost and gained 30+ pounds more times in my life than I…read morecan count. Occasionally I hired a trainer, sometimes through a gym, sometimes not, but I never really felt any huge results. I started a walking 5 years ago and that has been good. Changing my diet to low carb and walking regularly, helped me lose 40+ pounds over the last year. Now I needed to build muscle, get toned, and work on balance and posture. My upper body is weak, I lost tone (and my butt) with this last weight loss. As I age I notice small losses in balance. My posture has been an issue most of my life. I did research. The first trainer I hired, who was less expensive, gave me cookie cutter exercises and didn't push me. Maybe he thought I was too old. Then I hired Nicky. She is not easy on me, but goes at my pace. If I can't do something, she modifies it so I can be successful and still get the benefits. I am amazed at every workout with her depth of knowledge. Working together we have uncovered some issues I didn't know I had and we are working to correct them. When I started having a weird issue, we both researched it and she suggested I see a PT to confirm what we both suspect. I like that she researched the issue and also that she knows her limitations. She says, " I'm not a PT. They study for years. But I know training. " I'm feeling stronger in just a few months. My posture has visibly improved. I didn't expect to see a difference so quickly. She takes measurements and checks for muscle increase periodically. It's not required, but I like to see data. I'm pretty knowledgeable about nutrition, but she made some suggestions. I lost a few more pounds, even though that is not my primary goal at this point. I just want to be stronger and more toned. I want to live healthy into old age and I believe having a strong body is absolutely essential. If you want results and not just go through the motions, give Nicky a shout. If you are willing to work and want to work with someone knowledgeable, she's a great choice. Her workouts are tailored to each client. She will make sure you are safe and provide encouragement.

Nicky took the time to go over what my current diet was and how I could lose weight with some pretty simple meal adjustments she help set up a nutrition program through an app and we programmed in a sample day for me to start with. She was able to explain where my current meal routine was way too high in certain macros and why shifting and excluding items would help me to lose weight and be more healthy. Ultimately I would love to get some resistance training done with her but her schedule was full. I would highly recommend her for nutritional advice and the reasoning behind making the right choices!

I was very anxious about coming here, but Chuck Gleeson had been recommended. Chuck is a psychiatric NP who can prescribe medicine. I found him knowledgeable, respectful, and kind. I came with a list of medications to ask about. He gave advice but made it clear I had the ultimate say. We decided on what medication to try first and what to try next as plan B if I still had symptoms. I feel really hopeful. Thanks, Chuck! I have Sharp insurance, but I believe he also does cash visits for about $120. (Other psychiatrists I called were closer to $400, so I wanted to mention that). If you have Sharp, you don't need a referral. Just call and ask for an appointment with Chuck (or whoever you want to see) and you'll give your insurance information on the phone.
