I found Impact through a google search and was intrigued by the small group personal training format and decided to give it a try. From the moment I first contacted the gym, Peter was incredibly attentive and made sure to understand my "why" so that he could best support me in my fitness journey. Classes are certainly difficult, but not so hard as to leave you feeling defeated which I appreciate. Peter & his team are willing to put as much effort and time into your journey as you are! I am now 20 weeks pregnant, and I couldn't be more grateful for Impact throughout this process. It has made me stronger and leaner (until I got pregnant) and now has left me feeling strong, capable and MOBILE over the last 20 weeks. I can't stop saying how great I've felt so far throughout this first half of my pregnancy and I attribute a good amount of that to the type of work we do at Impact. The modifications allow me to continue to get a great workout but take into account that changes my body is going through and I value how much Peter & his team are able to adjust the workouts to fit whatever you are dealing with in life. Can't wait to continue exercising through the next 20 weeks and then to build my strength back up post baby!

I feel so much freakin' better! Impact has had a huge Impact on my life and I am grateful for the changes in my habits since I began.

They've had them in the past and there are a couple that are good now but most of these classes by good instructors such as Brianda, have been replaced with an inferior, seemingly inexperienced yoga instructor named Caitlin. She seems nice. But she talks too much, too fast and really cannot conduct a yoga class for her life. Yogi's are supposed to be Zen, not chatty and all over the place.

Rachel built a workout routine for me especially for tennis. With that we worked on cardio, (aerobic and anaerobic fitness), along with footwork, legs, core and upper body strength.

For over 10 years, I have been slowly recovering from an upper back/shoulder injury. During this…read moretime, I have seen multiple physical therapists, muscular therapists, and personal trainers. They have helped me to manage pain, build muscle and get me to a safe place of doing activities of daily living (ADLs) without re-injury. ADL's like throwing a ball for my dog, holding a blower dryer to dry my hair, reaching for a hanger, and reaching for a food item in my kitchen cupboard. I always had to be very self-conscious when reaching or holding my hand above my head as the slightest movement could cause one of my ribs in my upper back to dislocate. I used to be a runner and competed in races. I had to stop because my upper body wasn't strong enough to support my running form. My shoulder would fatigue quickly and I would reinjure myself. Working with Rachel during these past couple of months have been transformative for me. She is the first trainer to push me beyond my safe limits, help me increase my confidence, get me to feel stronger, and convince me that I can be stronger. I used to see physical activity as a chore to deal with pain management and get through the day safely. I now see physical activity as a way of living to be stronger. I can see myself on my way of becoming an athlete again. The self-conscious part of me still exists when I think about reaching my hand above my head but I'm not as fearful as I was. This is huge considering I'm 43 years old. I thought at my age it was not possible for me to gain my athletic life back and I'm on my way of doing so.

The gym has a great aesthetic and a motivating community that actually makes me look forward to working out. Everyone I've met here, including the owner Alan, has been incredibly welcoming and encouraging regarding my fitness journey. This is hands-down the best gym in the area, and the price is unbeatable for the quality you get.

Sadly, the cost of this gym was prohibitive to my becoming a member. (I should have known that the…read morecost would be high when I asked about the cost prior to scheduling an appointment, but did not receive a response that included pricing.) It works out to about $24-$30 a session, 3 sessions a week is the minimum, and the contracts are for a 3 month, 6 month, or 1 year membership - paid in full up front. The trainer for my info session was great, and I enjoyed an hour long work out - 30 minutes in circuit type weight training, and 30 minutes of cardio intervals on a treadmill. The trainer was very attentive and showed me how to do each exercise. The session only had 2 other women in it, so everyone got attention from the trainer. After the work out, I met with a staffer to discuss the Get In Shape program. In addition to the work out sessions, they also encourage their members to follow a nutrition plan they provide, which emphasizes eating 100 grams of protein a day. (The nutrition plan seemed similar to Weight Watchers Points Plus program to me, but the staffer was not happy when I made that comparison.) They also have nutrition coaching and check in sessions as part of your membership. The before & after photos on the wall of members are impressive. Despite their website saying you get a "free week trial". I only had the one session. If the cost were lower, I'd have joined up as a member.

As a runner I was looking for a workout that would help me strengthen my running not only thru…read morerunning drills but also an all body workout. Plus coaches who were knowledgeable enough to help improve form and be supportive without trying to control very last thing. And I was looking for a gym/program/studio that had a community and actively fostered it. OTF Natick has been the perfect location and has the ideal team to give me what I need when I need it. It says something that members themselves have evolved into coaches who know the ins and outs of working thru a 60-minute workout. While the running drills on the treadmills are my 'bread and butter', it's the rower and the floor where I get the biggest benefit. The routines are varied day to day. Different focus and different personal challenges. You're never trying to keep up with the person next to you (although everyone I workout next to inspires me to go a little harder). The strength and endurance workout on floor and rower push me and improve me every time. By the time I get on a tread (I do this last to practice running fatigued), I'm warmed up and able to push myself that bit harder. Recent results? I've decreased my road miles from 20 to about 12 a week to do the OTF Transformation Challenge at the moment. So most runs are 1.5-2 miles in the 3G classes I typically do. Last Sunday participated in a 5M race I've done for the last 6 years. Beat my best time on the course by 15 seconds. That's the results from OTF Natick But what makes the studio hum is the energy that the coaches bring into every class. They have built (I've been a member there for 3 years and workout among many who've been regulars since the studio opened) a real community feel to every workout. There is the mingling pre-class, the class outline with what to watch for and highlights (and possible lowlights). In class warm up, station by station walk thrus and in-block encouragement. But what always amazes me is the way the coach spreads their attention to the details of every participants workout. Not by crowding in on an individual or calling people out from across the room. Just the subtle, quiet hint or tip on how to fix form or increase a challenge. Always encouraging. Always celebrating. The studio under Jam has elevated an already great atmosphere and community feeling to new levels - creating a communal atmosphere thru social channels (the recent Transformation Challenge Miles Logged week had people logging miles at all hours of the day in an effort to boost their team score) & notes of gratitude for staff and members alike in the studio lobby. If you're like me, you want a gym or workout that doesn't intimidate. That challenges you to your next best level. And that lifts you when you need it, celebrates when you win the smallest of achievements, and embraces you for who you are and what you bring to each class. That is what I've found at OTF Natick and with their top team of coaching and support staff.

I joined OTF Natick back in November last year. I started with a free trial class and definitely my…read morefirst class was very challenging and Coach Marissa was able to help me out in my first class. I initially took the elite package ( 8 classes per month ) with the aim of taking up two classes per week as I had a gym membership at another gym as well. I went for a couple of months and I really started enjoying the classes. I always felt all the coaches kept motivating me to keep pushing and I kept improving in every class. Once I was done with around 16 classes I thought of upgrading to the Unlimited classes package with the aim of going to at least three classes per week but I ended up going for at least five classes a week. I never thought I would be able to come this far when I started otf. The classes are planned in such a way that you never get bored and you are always challenged to give your best. Many a times I come to the class thinking I should take it light but the moment the class starts I feel motivated. So far I had attended all the classes like 2g, 3g, lift 45 and every class is so unique and helps you to focus on cardio as well as strength training. Currently I am doing the transformation challenge and I make it a point to stay consistent and I feel otf has really improved my endurance and strength in general and keeps me active throughout the day. Special mention to my coaches Sarah, Nikki, Marissa, Jam each and everyone is amazing and sometimes I feel it's more like a dance class than a workout class . Our studio manager Nicole as well as the folks in the front desk are so welcoming. I definitely recommend otf Natick to anyone who wants to add a healthy and a fun fitness journey into their daily routine.

I was 28 years old, had finished dental school and was running my own office. The stress had built up and my body was beginning to feel it. My doctor told me I had 6 months to get my blood pressure down or else I was looking at medications to control. Being 28 yrs old, I was discouraged I had the body of a 60 yr old. A patient of mine referred me to Fitness Together and within 2 months my back pain was gone. They adjusted my workout to build my core and counter the work related trauma I was causing by repetitive stress injuries related to dentistry. Moreover, by my 6 month appointment with my physician to check my blood pressure, I was back to 124/80. My doctor was shocked, as was I. I told her I was going to Fitness Together, but I wasn't sure how long I was going to continue. She put it to me this way, either you continue with Fitness Together or you end up on medication. But I was healthier, felt better, and more fit. I've been with them now for over a year, and highly recommend them. This note is over due, but last week I developed tendonitis in my right hand, and strained my right shoulder. John from Fitness Together again readjusted my workout and within a few days my shoulder was back to normal. I don't know how to thank them enough for all their help. Mina Joseph Kaddis, DMD
