Had me do a few mobility exercises and took his time trying to figure out my needs, wants and expectations. Although he offers 1 one 1 training, I chose to join and work out on own. Super nice space and clean. I like it here. Refreshing to see the owner there at 6am. He's now one of my barbershop clients. Funny how that works.

And really...that's why I stayed. But don't worry, if you're here for Man City, he'll still welcome you with open arms! Would highly recommend this gym and the personal training services. Joe makes the transition into a healthier lifestyle easy (as easy as a deadlift can get), fun, and light. At the end of each session I feel stronger in my body and more accomplished that I'm crushing goals I never knew I could crush. I'm extremely grateful to have met Joe ... even though I give him a hard time for 60 minutes straight .. and I'm looking forward to see what I'm capable of going forward!

There are not enough good things that I can say about Matt!…read more Let me start by saying I am NOT the ideal customer. I have had two back surgeries, genetic issues with my knees, shoulder and ankle issues... Basically I'm a mess! AND that is exactly why I choose to train with Matt. When I was looking for a trainer I needed to make sure the trainer had a background in Physical Therapy/Rehab and it was also important that my trainer was a trainer full time. Not to offend those trainers whom hold down a full time "regular job" and also train for extra money, but I wanted someone dedicated to his/her craft. I was not disappointing after starting to work with Matt. Our initial consultation focused on range of motion and goal setting. We progressed gradually the first few sessions focusing on activated core breathing, something extremely important to preventing injury and having good form as I learned in my many physical therapy stints and reinforced by Matt. After getting into the flow and habit in the gym Matt began to push me harder responsibly testing my boundaries. Keep in mind it had been a good decade since I've been to the gym, and even then I never loved it. Being as stubborn as I am, Matt continually had to find new ways to get through to me and keep me interested. He was always up to the challenge! I've taken a new position at work which has taken all my free time and then some, but prior to moving to this new position and taking a hiatus from training with Matt he put my needs in front of his and worked up a couple programs I can do in a hotel, and body weight exercises I could do anywhere. I cant wait for things to settle back down so I can begin training with him again! He is a stand up guy that cares about those he is training first and foremost.

Prior to my first consultation with Matt, I hadn't slept through the night in nearly 6 months due…read moreto constant back and knee pain. At age 35 and far from ready to stop playing sports, I'd tried (and paid for) everything short of a surgeon - rest/ice/heat, flexibility training, PT, etc - with moderate results at best. Matt's philosophy of injury prevention through strength training intrigued me, and despite what initially seemed like a high cost and something for people much younger than me, I decided to give his "Fast Gains" program a try. Fast forward to a year later - with an unrelated shoulder injury and surgery sidelining me for 4 months, mind you - and I am now stronger, healthier, and more injury-resilient than I've ever been. Matt's extensive knowledge of physiology and movement led to the discovery that my problem wasn't lack of flexibility, but hyperflexibility, and his relentless emphasis on proper form set me up to succeed and progress through every workout from day 1. He is a passionate, knowledgeable, and empathetic trainer who cultivates those same traits in his trainees, and I can't recommend him highly enough.

From the beginning, Dr. Phil approached my father's unique needs with compassion, patience, and deep professionalism. Dr. Phil took the time to understand not only the physical limitations my father faced but also his emotional and mental state. The sessions were always tailored to his energy levels and medical requirements, with a strong focus on safe, functional movement. Over time, I witnessed remarkable improvements -- not just in his strength and mobility, but in his confidence and mood as well. What stood out most was how genuinely Dr. Phil connected with my father. Dr. Phil treated him with respect and dignity, while also encouraging him in ways that were empowering and age-appropriate. My father actually looked forward to the sessions, which says a lot at his age. I cannot recommend Dr. Phil highly enough to anyone looking for a personal trainer who truly understands how to work with seniors, individuals recovering from serious illness, or in general. The care, skill, and personal attention made all the difference in my father's recovery journey. Thanks Dr. Phil!!

(to the tune of "All Star" by Smash Mouth")…read more Somebody once told me, you gotta work out slowly, Spend an hour in the gym, they said. But now, don't I feel dumb? Sore abs, chest, legs and bum, My muscles worked from toes to my head. Well, the workout's coming and the blood is pumping, What a surprise, see nobody's running! Didn't make sense not to just have fun, Thirty minutes, and the workout's done. So much to work, I break a sweat Nicest trainers that I ever met. You'll never know if you don't go. Get done so fast, move your muscles slow. Hey now, you're at X-force, get your sweat on, go play. Hey now, somewhat pricey, but you get what you paid. And all that sweat, liquid gold. This workout for sure breaks the mold.... X-Force is a hell of a workout. You don't necessarily realize it as you're going through, but you're working muscles in a way that you can't do with normal machines. That probably explains the hefty price tag. I'll admit: I was writing about the workout, so I was able to try it for free, but I don't think I could swing this regularly. That said, for folks that live or work in Center City and have the money to spend, once a week 30 minute sweat session definitely sounds appealing. AND I was sore for about 2-3 days after. The locker rooms are truly sleek and executive, and the showers are fit for a queen (or king, I imagine). Everyone at the gym that I met was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. I can see why the fans are die-hard!

I think this mode of exercise is valuable but depending on your instructor, the experience can…read morediffer greatly. My instructor seems to lose interest in me early on and look out the window when I was working on a machine. I developed an injury ("golfers elbow") which I mentioned and was dismissed by my instructor. They also suggested I come in to workout when I had Covid, saying it was okay if my symptoms were mild. I have 9 More sessions but I'm hesitant to go back because of a lack of concern for basic health issues around Covid and a disregard or lack of interest in proper form to avoid injury. The focus seemed to me on adding weight like CrossFit.

Since it is smaller, the stations don't seem to be as divided so visually it isn't the best workout at an F45 gym I have had. I started with the $7 for 7 day trial and my gosh they were SO SALESY...I got the ick. I didn't have the energy in me to keep coming back to after I went 2x (my goal was 4), I didn't come back. After every class they ask you to chat in their office and try to sell you on signing up for a membership. There should be a rule that you at least come to 3 classes before they start grilling you like this. I really do love an F45 workout and I have been going to a different F45 gym. The workouts are the same globally and I feel it's a very good workout. At this gym, and others, I got a good workout in thanks to the coaches who are always there to help you with your form and they push you to go harder. This is a great way to get a personal training session in without the cost of a trainer. This is great for those who are too scared to go to the weights section of the gym...I have built a lot of confidence thanks to F45!

The kids workout is a fun exercise class that has also enhanced my child's socialization as well. There are not many programs like this for kids, and I'm so glad PPF offers a program for them!
