I not only reached my goals, I more importantly gained a solid understanding of proper strength training in order to maintain and sustain my long term health objectives. What I enjoyed most working with Drew were the tough workouts and the feeling of success as my body composition improved. I loved learning correct technique and actually feeling the physical changes as they happened! Drew encouraged me to push myslef, both mentally and physically, all while considering my capabilities within certain physical limitations. I always felt like he had my safety and well being in mind, something that I found lacking in coaches I had worked with in the past. Drew pushed me, but with the utmost thoughtfulness! Some of the biggest benefits I experienced were: learning that I can stay disciplined, seeing huge strength gains, and building confidence in my ability to perform my work duties safely and competently with my strength gains. Drew helped me step into a stronger version of myself in every sense! I wholeheartedly recommend Drew for your personal training needs!!! I already have shared his name with several friends and family members. He is extremely knowledgeable, his workouts are thoughtfully designed for my specific needs and concerns, and he is a fantastic motivator who truly cares about my success and well being. He is flexible and understanding when life situations come up, which made the entire process feel supportive rather than stressful. Drew has a remarkable way of motivating and inspiring while keeping my safety and avoiding injury at the center of everything. He is highly educated and great at explaining techniques, mechanics, and training strategies, and he always took the time to answer any questions, even after our sessions ended. Drew has never once come across as a salesperson, which I have experienced with other trainers before him. Working with Drew has been a pleasure and aid give him another 5 stars if I could! I also plan to work with Drew again down the line, once I am able to save for another session set! Thanks for everything Drew- ai didn't know I could get so far, and learn so much, with such huge body comp changes! Can't thank you enough, sir! Go work with Drew at Fitness Ellipsis- you won't regret it!!!

I was hesitant to start personal training because of my age, ongoing pain from knee arthritis, and…read morethe fact that I had both hip and knee replacements. I also hadn't exercised in years, so I wasn't sure what I was even capable of anymore. Working with Drew completely changed that mindset. I discovered that I could build strength and stamina, even with the pain and physical limitations I thought would hold me back. He adapted every exercise to work around my discomfort and focused on strengthening the muscles that support my joints. I realized I'm far more capable than I ever imagined. I truly enjoyed the workout routine and the way Drew gradually increased the difficulty, it kept me challenged but never overwhelmed. I always felt supported and encouraged. Finishing a workout left me feeling proud, energized, and ready to take on the day. And I have to admit, I really enjoyed losing weight, too! Some of the biggest benefits I've experienced include improved strength, greater stamina, and much better posture. I would absolutely recommend Drew as a personal trainer. He's incredibly knowledgeable and created a personalized program just for me. He emphasized proper form in every movement, which kept me injury-free throughout. He even provided a nutrition guide that helped me lose weight and develop healthier eating habits. Drew is attentive, supportive, and truly invested in helping you reach your goals, he genuinely celebrates your progress right along with you. And I'll always remember his little coaching gems like "squeeze the lemon" and "last one, best one"!

This man has a tremendous amount of integrity, and this means that he will provide the best service to you. When I called coach, I told him I have physical and health limitations.

Coach Jackson is the best personal trainer I have ever worked with. If you are considering hiring a trainer call him TODAY!!!

My wife and I (both 81) have been going to this personal trainer (Ibrahim Gueye) for perhaps 12…read moreyears or so. I played a lot of sports when younger, and served as a paratrooper, so at 68 my knees and hips were pretty shot. I started with Ibrahim at 24 Hour Fitness when I could not walk downstairs at all and could barely struggle up one stair at a time. Within a few years I was going up and down two stairs at a time, and now my wife and I are in better shape (whole body) than we were 30 years ago. Ibrahim isn't one of those trainers that's talking on his phone during a session - he's watching how the client walks, balances and moves, and has thereby picked up and corrected numerous things that I wasn't even aware were putting unnecessary stress on parts of my body during everyday routine activities. He's also assisted us with nutritional advice, is a very knowledgeable and talented massage therapist, and a heck of a nice guy. I've worked with several individual and large franchise gyms over my lifetime and Nomad is the top of the class!

As a result, I had all but given up trying to reestablish a routine. My back has been an issue for decades and I thought that I'd tried everything - chiropractics, physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, accupressure ... you name it. I'd resolved to just live with the nearly constant discomfort and occasional debilitating spasms. However, Gabriele has changed my perspective by focusing on carefully building core strength while not aggravating other issues. She listened carefully to my problems, asked about my desired outcomes and she designs each workout specifically for my physiology and my state of progress. I can't say enough good things about her adaptive approach and positive energy!

After crossing the one year mark of attending Everfit classes, it feels like a good time to write a…read morereview. This one is for people looking for a little more insight other than the commonly praised music, community, and coach (all which I agree with of course!). Some context, I was a regular to Crunch classes and was looking for a place with heavier lifting and more of a challenge. All of my workouts are morning ones, either the 5:30 or 6:30. The evening ones and teachers I'm less familiar with but everyone is great. That said, I do think these workouts are best for those with some exercise experience under their belts. We do various exercises which helps keep things interesting, but there's a lot of basics (deadlift, chest press, squats etc) that would be helpful to know prior to coming. You can still be a beginner though and even someone completely new to everything will be welcomed with open arms. Also, get the app and be sure to book classes through there. The workouts are fast paced, and the very first few might feel like you've walked into a tornado. The coaches start with a warmup and then will give you a rundown of all the workouts before starting. It's a real test of memory , but if you forget, others and the coaches will always help. We count on each other for that. Each day is a different workout with a unique purpose, but they generally are medium-high intensity and HIIT (high intensity interval training) or AMRAP (as many reps as possible) style. I'll go over them, but keep in mind these are the 5:30/6:30am classes. The late morning and pm classes are probably the same but I can't really speak for them. MONDAY - Upper and Lower - this is a time to get a full body strength session in, and is my favorite day. No cardio, just the opportunity to go a little heavier. The coach is currently Ciera and she's amazing. So fun, knowledgeable and kind. TUESDAY - SWEAT - cardio lovers, this is one for you. It's the most despised one for me and many others , but the highest calorie burner and a key day to work on agility and those fast twitch muscles. WEDNESDAY - Booty Blast - don't let the catchy name deceive you , this will have your whole lower body burning. It's a day when we go heavy on legs. Usually done in an AMRAP style, this one is a good one to find a group with similar experience and weights. THURSDAY - Cardio, Core Chest, and Triceps - this is a good one if you want a little taste of the cardio work, but also get a solid chest and tri workout. FRIDAY - Back, Biceps, Shoulders, Core - another welcome strength day that feels like a nice relief from the higher intensity work. You will still sweat, don't worry. SATURDAY - AMRAP - it's a full body strength and cardio session. Again, the AMRAP style is most optimal if you look for a group in a similar strength and fitness since you will all be using the same weights and moving through them quickly. Expect all classes to start with a 5 min warmup, and then end with everyone sharing responsibilities of spraying down the equipment and sometimes putting it away. Chris, the head coach is really great. He's very kind, easy to work with, and really knows his stuff. I am constantly impressed with how well balanced the workouts are, and how he manages to keep it interesting and fun! The gym is also very clean, and there's ample parking. I haven't done a dexa scan in a while, but in the first 6 months I lost 5.6% body fat and gained 2lbs of muscle. I'm only ~110 lbs for reference. Overall, I recommend Everfit if you're looking for a spot that is consistent yet interesting and fun. The community IS great, and even though there's not a lot of time to chat, Chris hosts social events and I know a lot of people that have found very solid friendships through the classes. Come try it out! There is a 7 days for $7 pass on their website, or some people use class pass to see if it's a good fit. Hope to see you there!

I've never been to a gym during my adult life (that's after high school)…read more My goals were to loose weight, bring my body to a decent shape, increase my stamina and become stronger in general. I looked personal trainers up on yelp about year or so ago, did a lot of reading and decided to give James a shot. James is a master of his craft - he's methodical, he's been guiding me through the process of self-improvement, he listened to my goals and he delivered results, which ultimately is what I wanted. We have been doing weights/stamina training, each session is unique and keeps me engaged for the whole hour. We always work different groups of muscles - upper body, lower buddy, etc. As an example - I went from 110lbs bench-press to 2 plates+, and so forth.. If you ready to commit and want real results - give James a try!

I've really enjoyed working with James for several years, and have some great results in doing so!…read moreWhen I was looking for a trainer, I spoke with several and finally resolved what I was looking for: 1. Educated and credentialed: James has a Master's Degree in his field of practice. His foundational knowledge helps deliver a great workout with great techniques that prevent injury. He's also delivered a great education to me just by the advice and Q&A I have during our time together, which is very important to me. 2. Experienced: he's been doing this for a long time and knows how to deliver results. 3. Personable: I now even consider James a friend, BUT he does not waste time during our hourly sessions chatting away. We get a very good workout in that hour for sure! That being said, I still have a lot of fun during our workouts! 4. Listening skills: He listens very well about any "issues" I'm having with my body. Past or current injuries are assessed and strategies to heal and strengthen the particular area are implemented. 5. Nutritional guidance: James, coupled with his educational background, is very knowledgeable about nutritional matters. I now know a lot more about WHY I'm eating this vs. that. I'd highly recommend James to anyone looking to improve their overall health, strength, flexibility, and don't mind doing it the RIGHT way!

This 'sink or swim' mentality creates an incredibly stressful atmosphere where clinicians are rushed, anxious, and more focused on meeting impossible internal standards than on the actual well-being of the person on the table. ​When a workplace is this toxic to its own staff, the quality of care inevitably suffers. You cannot get high-level, personalized treatment from a team that is being burnt out by unrealistic expectations.
