I have done UFC before and that boot camp atmosphere did NOT work for me . With Khoshal, I come in every day knowing I am going to 1. Have a great work out and 2. Have fun. In just 2 months I have lost 10 pounds of FAT which amounts to about 4-5% body fat. It doesn't sound like much, but I have hypothyroidism. Since being diagnosed , I've struggled with losing weight. I have gained my confidence back and feel healthier than I've ever felt. Honestly, I stopped watching the scale and pay more attention to how healthy I feel and look! Lastly, this is not only a gym , it's a community! I have met some solid quality people ... including khoshal. The environment is friendly and supportive and I wouldn't want to go to any other gym ! It truly is a lifestyle - just as the slogan suggests! Highly, highly recommend !!!!

Donny Thompson has been my father's personal trainer for 15 years. Dad is not "yelp" savvy, but we…read moreare working on that. I just needed to post something. In February my father had a hip replacement, and about 5 weeks ago in September he had a full knee replacement on the opposite leg. He is an avid cyclist, and in good shape (thanks to Donny), but he is now also 74 years old. With the support of this trainer, who works specifically with seniors or nearing that stage in life (though he is still incredible with others like me too!!!) Dad is back on the road 5 weeks post op, riding his bike, and more (should I mention he was on the roof, or driving 3 weeks sooner than he should have been?) Seriously folks, if it were not for Donny's guidance, Dad would never have been able to get through this as well as he has, and in all honesty...he probably would have had to have the surgeries sooner, and also backed off of a sport he is passionate about. Now he is hoping to even run his first 5k and do "at least" a sprint distance triathlon. Donny Thompson may not be a magician, but he truly is amazing to me and my family for the work he has done with my father through the years. Thank you....

This resistance training method is exactly what I was looking for but could never find. I wanted to build muscle and maintain bone density, but did not want to go to a sweaty gym with grunting body builders & intimidating trainers who "kicked my butt". I had had one too many workouts like that. As a mom with small kids, I had to be able to bend down, carry my kids, & go up & down stairs without wincing in pain. Killer workouts were no longer going to work for me. With kids, I didn't have the luxury of taking days to recover. I had all but given up on resistance training, until I saw a Gilt City coupon for GHFitLab. With little to lose, I tried it & loved it. Aside from the wonderful trainers, the atmosphere is very relaxed & very personalized. The workouts are controlled & focus on isolating specific muscle groups to gain strength & flexibility. The goal is to train the muscles without straining or overworking them. Unlike past training experiences, I leave the gym feeling energized, not exhausted. I've significantly increased my overall muscle strength & definition & have maintained my bone density. I would recommend GHFitlab to anyone looking for a focused resistance workout that gives results.

Amazingly, it is possible to get in and out the door in 30 minutes and feel the burn for the next three days. It is an intense experience and it is up to you to push yourself to get the maximum results. If you are motivated and want to get results this is where you should try first. No gimmicks or tricks. The trainers are motivated and emphasize you and your program. Not to drop professions, but other clients are humble teachers and librarians as well as some of the biggest name low profile executives in business.This place is a formerly private training facility for serious people who want to work out and get fit. It is small, efficient storefront space and uses Hammer strength equipment. As you progress in your journey you will discover that Hammer equipment, while not pretty, gets the greatest results safely, without injury and instability. Military people, surgeons and moms have worked out here successfully for years. These individuals have some of the most demanding jobs around so they need to maintain peak strength and endurance. An added bonus is the mental fortitude that comes from working at maximum potential. Only you know what you put into weight lifting and the feeling of accomplishment follows you like a halo out the door as you attack the challenges of your day. The mental strength is not so easy to measure, but clients over the years have commented on what an unexpected benefit it is to feel more alive and capable. Clients of all ages are welcome.Some clients are creeping up to 90 but move with the grace and ease of much younger people. Other clients want to get in shape for college sports, or the military, and they work well along side with one of the two trainers Tom or Steve. It is suggested that clients do not train here more than twice a week. That is all that is required to build muscle, strength and that leads to endurance. Body fat testing is an option.Nutrition counseling and education is available. First visit is on the house. Tom will keep you on schedule and is best for those seeking to have a professional trainer who can get you in and out the door in 30 min.s or less if needed. He has not missed more than a day of workouts in the past 10 years. His clients return for years and bring their family. It is not unusual for spouses, grown children and grandparents to train at the club over decades. Steve is enthusiastic, been in the business way before it became fashionable to strength train, and knows how to motivate and keep people returning for his specialized workouts customized to each client.. Steve is passionate, informed and more flexible with time challenges. In order to serve their clients and be on time, it is necessary to absolutely give 24 hours notice of cancellation to maintain the professional approach for all. Enjoy this hidden gem.

Fitness by Napo changes the game. If I could give 10 stars, I would…read more Before, I swore off paying a trainer. My previous experience with trainers was an expensive "one size fits all" work out & diet plan. Someone trying to give a quick result in sometimes, unhealthy ways. My girlfriends told me they started training with a trainer. In my head I thought, "good for you... I don't need a trainer. There's so many free tools online & someone's just going to take your money for something you could have done yourself." And then, I discovered Fitness by Napo via social media. My girlfriends sharing little bits of their work out sessions with Napo. The work outs looked challenging & they were doing work outs I'd never seen before. Seeing the trainer tagged in the post, I checked out his page. His clients progress in real time; @fitnessbynapo sharing their journey-motivating & pushing them to their goals of better health & better bodies. I instantly followed the fitness page & couldn't stop watching it. I watched my girlfriends bodies transform, week by week. By their week 3, I was emailing the man responsible (Napo) asking him if you could take me on as a client too. (Yes, the girl who swore she would never get a trainer again.) It wasn't an automatic yes. To my surprise, It was basically an interview. What? Why is he interviewing me when I am potentially hiring him? Either way, I hoped it went well because the transformations he's done for other people was something I wanted for myself too. Napo sat me down, went over my health goals, history & basically asked me how serious I was about it. I understood now, he's busy. He's not lacking clients, therefore he is interviewing me just as much as I am interviewing him because he needs clients who are serious about getting results. He could tell I was ready for the commitment & agreed to train me. I drive 30 minutes away from where I live, probably passing at least a couple dozen gyms to be trained by Napo. I don't feel like "I am paying a trainer". He changed the stigma I had. I invested in my health with a professional. I am being educated on proper nutrition for my goals, I am being coached to use weight machines properly & effectively. I am being pushed further than I would have pushed myself. I am being supported & mentored. Napo checks in regularly with his clients to make sure you're supported outside the doors of his gym as much as you are during your sessions. He asks questions to make sure mentally in a good place through out the weeks because he knows changing habits & making this transformation isn't easy & not always rainbows & butterflies. He makes sure the food plan is working for you & tweaks it, if need be. The investment I made in Fitness by Napo is the biggest gift I could have given to myself that benefits my life in so many way. Thank you Napo for believing that I could do this, so much that I believed it too. For better health, confidence, education & support. I think all of his clients, of all ages, body types & sizes would agree in saying, I'm so grateful that I got a spot in your busy schedule!

I found these guys by reading the book called "Body By Science" by Dr. Doug McGuff. In it he shows all the new studies coming out showing that you can get all the benefits that most people get by working out for many hours per week in just minutes if you really slow down the speed with which you actually lift the weights. The science was so fascinating, I had to try it. It was awesome and I've been doing my workouts with Strengthtime personal trainers ever since. Its an incredible time saver too obviously.

If you haven't heard of OSTEO-STRONG, time to get off your butt and get over there…read more First, for a better understanding of what Osteo-Strong is about, look up OSTEOGENIC LOADING. For those over 60, like myself, osteopenia and osteoporosis are concerns that the Osteo-Strong sessions (10-15 min/week) can help. Dr. Chris Fuller is a dedicated professional to your health and well being... from eating right, exercising, and building stronger and denser bones. The machine measures and records your strength output, which can be printed or emailed to track your progress. In just 2 months, I have increased 132%!

The other measurement was in my hip area. It dramatically improved too. My hip score went from minus 3.4 to minus 2.9, a big improvement. I asked an M.D. whether my improvement could mean that the first test was faulty and he said no. It was the OsteoStrong machines that account for the improvement. Not only does it only take 10 minutes of your time, but the trainers are all incredibly nice. It's fun to go there! And you don't even need gym clothes. The machines look like the kind you'd see in a gym, but they create much more impact on your bones, triggering the kind of bone growth that professional football players or Olympic gymnasts get when they pound the surface. It would be impossible for the average person to do enough exercise to trigger this kind of bone growth on their own.
