"I am a subscriber for the past 6+ months. Staff are really welcoming - everyone greets you when you come in no matter the time of day :) Everyone is really knowledgeable, supportive and professional. My fitness goals are basic as a 50+, to exercise, improve strength, flexibility and overall fitness. They meet you where your are at and devise a plan to meet your needs. I train with a number of trainers, including the owners, and across the board everyone is so considerate and encouraging. When I've needed to reschedule, even at the last moment, it's never a problem. I can feel and see results. Fitness Together Reading is a reliable partner to help me meet my goals." read more

I have been going to the Reading Fitness Together for years. They have a really great staff, friendly, well-trained, and sensitive. None of the trainers are the 20 year old athlete types who just got their certification online for $50 last week. They are all professional fitness experts. I love the private gym one-on-one setting. Great results and competitive prices. read more

I have been going here since Dec...not long and yet I know everyone there and better still. they know me and care about whether I succeed in my progression of fitness. Each trainor knows you by name and really cares about teaching you...It is a group of people invested in your wellness.. I just cant say enough good things about this place. I have been going to gyms for years and know a lot, but my information pales next to theirs. They definitely know the body well and are more then capable of setting up a routine for you. I love this place ! Prime example: of Great People Doing Great Things With Their Lives and Yours !!!!!! read more

This review is four years overdue. You will not find a better group of people to help you get healthy and enjoy exercise. And they don't make you do crunches!!! They are anit-crunch! (mostly because there are far better ab exercise to make you do) This isn't crossfit, this isn't a fad boutique exercise class gym, it's the real deal. Changing workouts tailored to your specific needs and goals, even in the small group training program, these trainers know you and know what you need to do to stay safe and achieve your fitness goals. You see all types of clients at this place and its so encouraging to see everyone give it their all. I started attending Fitness Together Reading, determined to prioritize my health. I have two lousy knees and had scoliosis spinal fusion surgery in my teens so I was pretty worried about injuring myself further. These trainers know exactly how to exercise to not only stay safe but get stronger where it counts. At FT, I do exercises I never thought I'd be able to: deadlift, bench press, modified pushups, and I can hold a proper plank for 2 minutes! Yes, personal training is expensive but FT is no more expensive than buying a session or package at a local gym and I can promise that the quality you get here far outshines the competition. Seriously, after coming here, you'll look at other gym's trainers differently - they can't compare. Take your tax refund this year and invest it in yourself at FT Reading. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. Every staff member is kind, motivating and greets you by name. They care so much about the human body and living pain free. I suffered an ACL rupture and had surgery three years ago and have had issues ever since. They are bringing me back to life and teaching my body how to work correctly again. This is not a one size fits all type place. The workouts are customized and they make adjustments on the fly (for example adding an extra knee pad on the floor for comfort or adjusting the exercise itself if it doesn't feel good on my body). The sessions are one on one and it's so comfortable. Plus they make me feel comfortable with my plus size and my aging body ;) It is one of the best investments to my health I've truly ever made. Thank you to Tom and all of the trainers for being a part of my health and recovery journey. read more

I have been working out at Fitness Together Reading for about 5 months at this point. During that time, I have been having (2) private sessions per week with two different trainers and have not missed a single one. From what I have seen of sessions going on around, all of the trainers are great. Things I like best: The trainers are knowledgable and informed. They figure out a way to motivate you even when you're on short sleep or feeling a lack of motivation. They identify and communicate opportunities for improvement without condescension or judgement. They change up your routine so that you don't get bored and hit different muscle groups. I would definitely recommend Ft Reading for anyone who is tired of self directing workouts with mediocre results. The people are great, the studio is clean. read more

The BEST! Everything about this place is amazing! The trainers are knowledgeable, caring, and motivating. I was extremely overweight and living a sedentary life, but I knew I had to change. I called FT and Mel met with me right away. She helped to give me the extra push to get going on my journey to a healthier lifestyle. I highly recommend FT - Reading to anyone who wants to improve their quality of life! read more

I have been going here for two years. Tom, Mel, and Mat are GREAT Personal Trainers. I've had great results and will continue to go here. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is struggling with their workouts and needs a push. I have never felt better about myself or my workouts! read more

I have been going to Fitness Together Reading for 8 months. The trainers are all great. I go for the pack sessions which is 45 minutes with one trainer and 4 clients. It is challenging but they work with your limitations if you have any. My husband needs to have knee replacement surgery so they modify the exercises for him. I recommend this highly. read more

I have been going to Fitness Together for over five years now. The best part about this type of workout program is that it is one on one and they work out things that you don't do on your own (or hate doing because it hurts or isn't comfortable). They customize the workouts towards your goals as well as towards what your body needs most. I have terrible flexibility in my hips and have bad hips in my family and we spend a lot of time doing mobility and strength exercises here that I would never do on my own. I love all the trainers and have become friends with most of them over the years. Tom the owner is very hands on in the business, he is always there and always checks in to make sure things are going well. This isn't a gym that you join and walk away from. You are accountable for showing up to your workouts. Of course, as with anything, you get out what you put in to it. They have also recently added Pack workouts where you can work out with other people with a trainer for a fraction of the cost of the one on one. Try it out, you will fall in love with the people and be a client for life like my wife and I are. read more

I've been a client at FT Reading since June 2012. I can't say enough good things about this studio. The trainers are simply the best. They motivate, challenge, encourage and cheer your success. I've lost my motivation to work out a couple of times since joining due to personal (and stressful) life situations and these trainers - and the owner Tom Lavoie - check in and text and email and prod and push. They don't let me stop. I don't know what I would do without them and the FT Reading studio. Check it out. For free. Call, email or stop in. Tom will talk to you all about the great program that is tailored to each client's abilities and he will put you in a session. You will join, I promise. My husband resisted because he thought he was getting enough exercise. He joined six months after me and is a fanatic now. We go three times a week each and work out together two of the three. Like another reviewer said, it's great because you do the things your body really needs for strength and tone that you most likely won't do on your own - you know the things everyone hates doing like squats and pushing a sled and bear crawls - but they're built into the monthly program and I am always glad I do them. Without the trainer encouraging and making sure I do them properly, I know I would never do them. read more

I have been a member of F/T Reading for about a year and I love it! The facility is immaculate, the staff is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and professional. I always feel as though everyone at F/T has my best interest in mind. I love working with Suzanne C., she is kind, patient and always has a resource or suggestion to help improve my training experience and over all well being. I highly recommend FT to everyone. It is by far one of the best choices I ever made. read more

Clean place to workout. Not many muscle heads that make you feel uncomfortable. I went with a friend for a week on a free pass. Might consider joining if I move closer. Much worse places to lift. read more

Fitness Together in Reading, MA is fantastic. After having gained some weight I didn't like how I looked and felt anymore. In addition I was finding it more difficult to keep up with my growing son. I chose Fitness Together because they allow for a very flexible schedule being that I work full time and have a son to take care of. I have been going for about a year now, for approximately 3 days a week, and am completely amazed at my transformation. I've lost weight and gained muscle and energy. I feel better now that I have in a very long time. Tom the owner and all the trainers are very knowledgeable about how the body works and they don't push me to do anything I can't handle. They are attentive to any injuries and discomfort and tailor the workouts to my goal. In addition to the workout they also coach me on my diet and make suggestions on how to improve my choices for a well balanced diet. The hardest part is to make the decision to start and I'm really glad I did. I highly recommend Fitness Together in Reading, MA. read more
