We first discussed what I wanted to accomplish and how we can obtain those goals through a series of exercise techniques and routines. While I always was self-consciousness about my body weight, Evan definitely eased my worries and not made me feel ashamed of my situation. Following a consultation, we proceeded to an intense workout session where Evan focuses on body building techniques ranging from Bench Presses to Barbell Squats. While it was intense, it was very fun and loved the useful pointers along the way.

I barely made it through the first class, but since Chris liked to talk about the NBA, I came back for another session. And I was so glad that I did. Slowly but surely, he helped me turn it around. At every session, Chris treats me like I am his most important client. He designs and manages core workouts that are at my level. He also regularly highlights diet and other health issues. Now, several months into training with Chris, I am stronger, have more energy, feel so much better and more importantly, have the tools to continue to succeed. Discovering Aum Training was a great find. Chris is a highly skilled trainer who can design killer workouts, make the session enjoyable, and then shift seamlessly into knowledgeable nutrition, diet and life balance discussions. I highly recommend Chris and his team at Aum Training Center!!

Today, I'm on track to lose 100lbs in one year, feeling more fit and happy than I have in a decade, and still super motivated to continue training with Chris. Unlike other trainers, Chris is the full package offering comprehensive coaching on diet, exercise and attitude. He's never been late or flaked on a training session, is always available by text or phone and has only been supportive and understanding despite my initial fitness level. I legitimately look forward to my workouts with Chris. Chris has coached me through both weight loss and motivational plateaus to a point where I'm eager to stick with it to see how far I can go. He's proven to be reliable, honest, funny, smart, humble, kind, extremely knowledgeable about his craft and laser focused on helping you achieve results.

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!

In fact, I had always been quite intimidated by it. When I started with Jonathan his experience and professionalism quickly calmed my nerves, encouraged me and set me on a course of vast physical improvements. He has a great talent to blend together exercises needed to fix your issues and move you to do things you never thought you could do. I have measurable improvements in my flexibility, balance, stamina, coordination, and strength. Most importantly, i have eliminated my chronic back pain and learned to manage my injury when stress and other factors aggravate it. Jonathan has given me the confidence to go to the gym on my own, knowledge to understand my limits (and when to push them) and enough practice with some "impressive" exercises (e.g. tossing those kettle bells around like nobody's business) to even show off a little bit.

I've been with Eric for almost two years now, and still go weekly!…read more For me, it all comes down to this: Every time I workout with Eric, I feel better and my body moves better. His style is somewhere between physical therapy and master personal training. He evaluates what's working well for your body, and what's not, and then builds a program. For example, he took a video of me doing a simple squat. Don'cha know my left knee was splaying WAAAYY out to the left, like a dog chasing a squirrel? I never noticed because I'm too busy trying not to fall the F over! So, we did some exercises for my hips and butt, and voila, the knee is at least sorta staying in line. And, he gave me homework, to keep improving. :) If you're a "desk jockey" and/or spend a lot of time sitting, like me, you should definitely check out Eric. If you want to build muscle, improve flexibility, or just get a great workout, he's your man. And, yeah, I still have a little crush on him ;) Oh, and be sure to look carefully below for the "Filtered" reviews, above "About this Business." He's got a ton more that are hidden for gawd knows what reason...

I'm by no means a fitness guru. I've found that when I go at it alone at a gym I basically repeat…read morethe same basic routine and don't really benefit from it. Personal training is definitely an investment but for me it's the only way I feel I really benefit from working out. I was until recently a member of BSC on Newbury, simply because of location. I hadn't been there since July, went to cancel my membership and of course they need 30 days notice, so they were "nice" enough to prorate the remainder of my month and only charge me $51 instead of $59 and continue to tell me my membership is good through November something, even though I reiterated I haven't used their gym since July and won't be back so stop explaining this to me. I guess they need the 30 days notice so they can anticipate cleaning the machines just a little less since I am cancelling my valuable membership. Anyways, back to the good. Eric is great. I did the complimentary movement assessment and mini-workout with him. My previous personal trainer was female so I was somewhat anxious that I would be intimidated working out with a guy but Eric was awesome. Made me comfortable from the start. He has a decent sized studio right near Copley Square. I was able to listen to my own choice of music and work out in complete privacy, knowing that I could screw up, ask questions, etc as we went along and not have to worry about the meatheads judging me. It was great. We talked about my fitness goals, nutrition, etc. It was so great that I booked a 30 session package with him. I was able to reason with myself to make this investment because previously I paid my trainer the same amount that I would have paid if I did hour sessions with her instead of half hour sessions, plus I don't have to pay a monthly gym membership and get complete privacy. I'm really looking forward to working out three times a week with Eric and building some muscle while toning my core. Highly recommend checking it out!
