Working with Samera for nearly a year has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I initially…read moresought her guidance to build muscle, motivated by witnessing family members lose muscle mass and mobility as they aged. I wanted to take proactive steps to combat this trend. Over the course of our time together, I've not only lost 35 pounds but have also gained muscle and improved muscle tone. While I've shed inches, the boost in confidence I've gained is truly transformative. What sets Samera apart, beyond her delightful personality, is her ability to make fitness accessible and enjoyable. She has helped me embrace a lifestyle change rather than viewing fitness as a temporary fix or a chore. By integrating my fitness goals into my daily life, I find the process far more manageable and fulfilling. This investment in myself has been the best decision I've made, and I know it will have lasting benefits for years to come.

For all the reasons, I knew I needed to start strength training but never lifted a weight in my…read morelife. I always preferred activities like hiking, biking and yoga. I had concerns about form, injuries, felt self-conscious, intimidated...all of it. Then I found Samera. In the time I've been working with Samera, I've learned so much about strength training, feel confident to continue a practice on my own, learned how to nourish my body to support my practice, am stronger than I've ever been, and I've lost 40 pounds! (For reference, I'm 60 years of age.) All the while, Samera has been encouraging and supportive, notices improvements, celebrates advancements, and always with the deepest sincerity. Your wins are her wins. If you're looking for someone who is as invested in your success as you are, Samera is your person. Do not hesitate, you won't regret it.

A very belated review, but one that is absolutely deserved! I worked with Marissa for about two…read moremonths, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She is incredibly friendly, personable, and encouraging, while also bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to her work. Her targeted workouts and personalized nutrition plan helped me make progress toward my goals, and the results exceeded my expectations! I attended weekly sessions with a workout partner, which turned out to be a fantastic bonding experience. We both achieved and even surpassed our individual goals, making the experience that much more rewarding. If you're looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about your success, knows her stuff, and makes fitness both effective and enjoyable, I highly recommend Marissa!

She is extremely knowledgeable, encouraging, positive, and kind, but she also knows how to hold you accountable, which was exactly what I needed. In addition to helping me improve my strength training, Marissa worked with me on monitoring my macros and caloric intake and helped me better understand how to eat in a way that supports my goals. I really appreciated that she focused on teaching me the "why" behind what we were doing rather than simply telling me what to do. I feel much more knowledgeable and confident about both strength training and nutrition because of my time working with Marissa. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to get stronger, improve their nutrition, and develop habits they can actually maintain.

I went to the doctor. The doctor said I had severe arthritis in my hip and back . I ignored it, until I cold not ignore it any longer. Since my daughter was already training with Ray , he obviously noticed my decline . He told me he could fix me. I ignored it some more. SMH!!!!! My hips were on the verge of locking. I couldnt lay down in the bed at all. It was to painful. Finally i asked Coach Ray to help because I just couldnt take it anymore. I missed walking., I missed being able to climb the stairs, get in the tub and jusst simply sit down and stand up without pain. I have always told Coach V and Coach Ray that i trusted them. And I meant every word. They transformed me into someone I thought I could never be. But , my pain was so bad, I was not sure this time. that they could transform me. When I tell you that Coach Ray had me in tears. He really made me sob tears of joy Coach Ray knows what he is doing. I feel so much better. I can walk without pain. I can stand up and sit down without pain, sleep in my bed & get in and out of the bathtub without assistance. . The mobility and strength training and stretching was a definite game changer. If you are in need, dont put it off. These two gentlemen made my life better. Thank You Coach V and Coach Ray.

I've been a client of Shape health and Fitness for 17 years! Throughout these years, Vern helped…read moreme meet my physical goals many times! He prepared me to compete at the International level, representing the USA in many international competitions. He took me from 198 pounds down to 129! Across the years, he has guided me through many physical rehabs, major and minor. Although my international competitive career has come to an end, Vern still keeps me as physically ready as I can possibly be to compete at national and local levels. He adjusts my training to accommodate the numerous injuries I've accumulated across the years, so I get as tough a workout as I can possibly handle. His upbeat personality makes all the training fun and interesting. He know exactly how to challenge an older woman's physique to get the most out of it. I can't recommend his studio enough if you really want to make a change in your body.

They have bootcamp, strength training, cross-fit, spin, barre, pilates and yoga. Workout is always different and written by the instructor of the day. You will never be bored or ever repeat the same workout. If 45 min. classes are not your thing, there is a well-equipped open gym and personal training. All the instructors are amazing, top-notch, and certified (shh...we even have a Kings dancer as instructor!) Excellent community of members. It's my second home and where I have met the most incredible people with shared fitness goals.

As someone that did CrossFit for 10 years (and I very much love CrossFit), this change of pace really suited me and is helping me build the core pillars of strength that I want to improve on. The great thing about what Mike, Michelle and the crew do here is that it's scalable in every way. Perfect for beginners, challenging for those that are fit and have some experience, and also provides a great way to grow for those that have a lot of workout experience. I eagerly await every class, and am excited for the next class whenever I'm done. And of course the community here provides an often needed sense of belonging that I just love. You will not regret trying it out and you might just stay.

He does all of this with the most professional attitude and a smile. If I give more than 5 stars, I would! I work out with Mike in the morning twice a week. He has helped me find a time that works for my busy schedule and when I come to work out with him, he's always ready. He designed a personalized workout specific to my needs and my goals. It is always a full body workout and I am always drenched in sweat after a workout session with Mike. He is very encouraging and pays very close attention to every aspect of my workout. He's not the type of trainer that is distracted or busy talking to you about things that are not relevant to your workout. He provides his undivided attention and he answers all of my fitness questions. Since I've been working out with him, I've gotten stronger, lost fat, and I have more energy. I feel more confident and I am able to do things that I never thought was possible. I am always in a better mood after my workouts! I HIGHLY recommend Mike and Level Up Fitness. You will not be disappointed!

I liked him and the sessions he put me through, although he cancelled several at the last minute. In late December, I agreed to prepay him for twice a week for the month of January. He cancelled the first session and then failed to show up at the second. After he failed to show up, I received an email from him telling me that he was leaving the area for a week or two for personal reasons, and he would contact me to reschedule when he got back. That was eight weeks ago, and I have heard nothing from him since, even though I made repeated efforts to contact him. I now realize I am out over $500 for sessions I prepaid that I will probably never receive. It has been a major disappointment.
