Working with Coach Ty has been one of the best decisions of my life. When I first started with him…read moreover 5 years ago, I weighed 350 lbs and was over 30% body fat. With his guidance, support, and expertise, I've transformed not just physically but mentally. Today, I'm down to 250 lbs and in single-digit body fat--a level of fitness I never thought was possible for me. Ty's approach is more than just workouts and nutrition plans. He's consistent, motivating, and holds me accountable while also adapting strategies to fit my lifestyle. He genuinely cares about his clients' success, and it shows in the results. If you're serious about making a lasting change and want a coach who will be with you every step of the way, Ty is the one. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I would recommend him to anyone wanting to make improvements on their eating and training habits. He's also your guy if you're thinking of competing in body building. Checking in with him was never a burden but always a source of motivation and support!

Before I met Daniel (owner of Edge Performance Training), I thought I'd tried just about every type…read moreof workout out there. I'd tried power lifting, endurance training and triathlons, crossfit, even athletic conditioning at the local YMCA. I've always worked out; I was just really bored with the usual set routines and classes. Daniel completely changed my perspective on training and the way I work out. He puts together the toughest and most unique training workouts I've ever been through. Ever trained like an MMA fighter? Ever trained using only ropes, bags of sand, or flipping a truck tire end over end?...I hadn't either. Edge Performance combines cardio with functional type movements that are more natural (and useful) for my body than simply lifting a barbell. Daniel is always evolving and changing the workouts which means my body continues to get stronger and feel better.... But the best part is that I love working out again!

When asked what she liked best she said, "I like the confidence it gives me, I like the strength and conditioning aspect and I have a blast with Daniel because he makes me laugh." Daniel has been a pleasure to work with and he really knows what he is teaching and talking about. Highly recommended!!!

Honestly, I don't write much reviews but I have to give props to Charlotte RIPS in the area…read more When I first came here, I was hesitant to start due to being out of shape. I hadn't worked out in over 2 years, I ate pizza for breakfast and worked at an office job.... Being mobile really wasn't my thing. After getting a physical where my blood pressure and cholesterol put me at risk for some health issues, I decided to make a change. I didn't know where to start but I decided to try Charlotte RIPS. Right away, Vito was very knowledgable and helped me feel comfortable by walking me through the process of what to expect and what was expected of me to see results. I've never been a gym rat but this is a place that I truly enjoy. It's only been about a month but already my overall health has improved and I'm starting to see results. If you want to be in a workout environment that strives to empower you to work towards your goals whatever they may be, as well as start your journey towards a healthier lifestyle then I would recommend this place. Don't be fooled though, you have to put in the work. My trainer is Andre and he always provides one on one specialized training to work towards my goals. All of the trainers are dedicated towards helping their clients become better and they help you learn how to eat better and adopt fitness as a lifestyle.This place is affordable and for the level of service provided, I highly recommend.

Fit Central is at the Dowd YMCA. I had a trainer at a different Y location. I would have one hour…read moresessions with my trainer and often felt I could honestly do the same intensity on my own. I switched to the Dowd because the location was more convienient for me. I was more observant and selective this time around for a trainer. I noticed this physically fit trainer, observed him as he trained his clients. Then, I finally approached him. I've been with Chuck Walker ever since. This December will be two years. I've seen my body completely transformed. I'm lean and stronger. Training with Chuck has taught me how to use the gym equipment with confidence, my form is on point to prevent injuries, variations of work outs to target different muscles groups, he knows exactly how much weights I can lift for muscle growth and he has made me conscious of what I eat. It wasn't always easy but consistently is key. Chuck is definitely the best trainer. He cares about his clients, pleasant to work with, extremely knowledgeable and always professional.

Hardest Workout I've EVER endured, at the SAME time the BEST workout I've EVER had…read more After checking this place out during Yelp Gets Fit month where we took a FREE class with the infamous Arthur as our instructor I felt parts of my body tingle that I didn't know could have a tingle (PAIN). I decided to purchase the promotion of 3 classes for a set amount for first timers. I scheduled my first two using the online scheduling system in place. I took a class with Author again and one with Jerome. Both classes were great and just as intense as I recalled. I unfortunately could schedule my 3rd class due to business travels and my availability. I tried to book my last class and was told that I couldn't because it was a couple days after the 30day cutoff(SUCKS).. I'll suggest this place for sure however I'm a little aggravated about my situation & I'll need to get over it before looking into joining it paying for more classes.

I feel so blessed to have met them because these guys are the real deal in fitness. They were so motivating and had a lot of tough love when they coached me and the class. So when I was sand-bagging today in the lunge, Dayron yelled out in class today "I don't believe you!!!" so then I was sure to get to 90 degrees in my lunge ;) Arthur and Dayron will push you through each exercise and they pull your potential out of you. These two should be so cocky with how excellent their teaching is but they are so down-to-earth and committed to each student's success in the classroom. If you haven't been to this studio then you are definitely missing out!!

Walking in I didn't know what to expect but was immediately greeted by the guest services guy and another trainer. I'm sure they could tell I was new because I was late, I got lost and went to the old location on Park Road. Either way, they welcomed me to the 4:30 cycle class and immediately provided me with shoes. The front entrance was cute and small, I presumed the entire facility was small until I walked down the ramp. To my surprise, they have a huge workout area, bathrooms, and showers as well as another room that provided weights and the cycling room. This workout facility is in the perfect location of the quickly growing southend.
