As someone who easily gets intimidated by commercial gyms and weight lifting, I sought out a way to prioritize fitness and strength training in a more personalized way-- that's how I found Method Fitness. Jack Hammond and I regularly met throughout the week for 60-minute training sessions. I can't emphasize this enough-- his enthusiasm, encouragement, and overall knowledge about training undoubtably helped me achieve my goals. Not only did he constantly challenge and push me to improve and train harder; but he did so with a positive attitude. Obviously just by looking at Jack, you'll be able to tell he knows a thing or two about fitness and lifting (the guy is ~~ripped~~), but what sets Jack apart from the other "bro-science" personal trainers, is that he is ACE-certified, has a bachelor's degree in kinesiology, and also has experience with college athletics. His overall understanding about fitness is all backed by his years of experience + knowledge about science-based explanations ... now I don't know about you, but I don't think I could have asked for a more qualified trainer. Due to personal obligations and a career change, I'm no longer able to train at Method as regularly. The good news is that I'll always be able to keep the lessons I've been taught on proper form, correct movements, acceptable adjustments, and lastly-- my higher and improved self-esteem. read more

Looking for a gym experience that is shepherded by a highly-skilled trainer, perfectly aligned with your fitness goals, and not steeped in testosterone? Look no further! I love Method's take on fitness: they recognize that everyone has a different fitness journey, that fitness goals vary, and that getting healthy is a process. By working with Adam and Nigel, I've learned that changing my body composition and dietary discipline has to be habitual, and that success is related to consistency. They've also taught me there is no magic pill, no fantasy workout, no fancy sweatmore sweatpants that are gonna burn my fat, lift my butt, and sculpt my arms; only my hard work will achieve those things. And that the hard work is WAY worth it. With Adam and Nigel's guidance, my weekly workouts have progressed hugely over time. I've dropped weight, changed my body composition, increased my cardio capability, and am strong as hell. Worried about Method being way too bro-tastic for your tastes? No worries there. Amahl, the owner, does an incredible job curating a team of trainers that is dedicated to a healthful lifestyle and are super fit themselves, but somehow lack the macho-man-cool-story-bro gene. Worried about Method not being hardcore enough for you? No worries there, either. These trainers are SERIOUS. I see some of the trainers' personal workouts while I'm coming and going in the space - and their strength, ability, stamina, and discipline AMAZE me. Super inspirational. Couple other plusses: the space is clean and beautiful, parking is easy peasy, there are always fresh towels to wipe your brow, and spring water is provided to quench your thirst. In short, integrating Method into your fitness routine is nothing but a good thing. You'll get where you want to go faster, with better knowledge, and with great guidance. read more

From the pristine gym equipment to the charm of a historic mill reclaimed from an earlier time, Method Fitness creates the optimal environment to boost your physical and mental wellness. There is nothing better than having one on one or group training done with experienced professionals who take the time to get to know you personally. Working out doesn't feel boring like planet fitness or intimidating like some other roided out gyms I have tried in the past. (La fitness in Cranston I'm talking to you). It's nice to finally find a place with normal people who are just here to workout and have fun doing it. For a fun and varied workout I would be sure to checkout Method Fitness next time you are downtown. read more

Method Fitness by far was the place the worked for me! I became stronger, leaner and a better runner. Amahl paired me up with the best trainer! I learned a lot about eating the right food at the right time of day. I was educated about food/snack options, etc. I would go back to Method Fitness in a second if only I didn't live so far away! Good luck on your fitness journey! You are in great hands at Method Fitness!!1 read more

I love this new location. It's still the same quality group of trainers in a nicely converted space that is easy to get to and park. I've had a great experience training with Nigel, he understands my abilities and injuries and works with me to get me where I want to be safely while also pushing me and introducing me to new workouts that engage my whole body. read more

Expert professional one-on-one personal training. Workout program carefully designed for clients' requirements and each session coached and monitored. Very nice facility with state of the art equipment. Staff friendly and non-judgmental. Highly recommended. read more

I was a frequent client at method for a few years, I graduated college and didn't have the time. I was ready to go back in again. Mind you I spent thousands of dollars before. I contacted the owner to come back and he wasn't willing to work with my schedule, and was very short. It sad that customer service is what kills a company. With that said I have found a new gym. read more

I am a very happy client of Method having been with them for about three years. Both Kyle and Shane are smart, dedicated and very skilled personal trainers and have helped me tremendously. The new facility in Richmond Square is well-equipped and very roomy, and their schedule works very well with my early-morning routines. A great place. read more

Wow! We are thrilled with Method. The attention and approach has been professional, well informed, focused and pushing our limits just the right amount. We're hooked! read more

I've been working with jack for a few weeks now. Not only have I lost some weight, but I feel better mentally and physically. Jack is always excited to see you and keeps you motivated regardless of the circumstances. Where would I be w out jack/method fitness! Thanks to everyone there who keeps me going! Great place, not too pricey and better than any gym I've ever been to. The personal focus that you get from each trainer is amazing. They work with you based on your body type, life style and diet etc. I feel great. Love love love. read more

I started training at Method in February of this year and it's been one of the best experiences I've had yet. The equipment is new and clean, the trainers are personable and extremely knowledgeable and the atmosphere is judgement-free. I've been working with Adam for awhile now and my results are obvious. He helped me get on the right track in many aspects, from nutrition to cardio to weight lifting. I've learned a lot and I feel great. I would definitely recommend this studio to anyone looking to put in the work and effort to get results. read more

Highly recommended. They're methodical and creative in their approach. I worked out with Kaleigh and Adam and they're fantastic. They're professional and knowledgeable and the environment is supportive. You'll get the results you want here!! read more

Joining this gym is one of the best decisions I've ever made. The owner took the time to meet with me and understand my goals and matched me with John, who is a perfect for what I was looking for. The workouts are challenging yet fun, and he really takes the time to make sure I'm using the proper form. It's obvious he knows what he's talking about and structures the workouts in ways that make it clear he's done his research. This is one of the first times in my life that I actually look forward to working out it and doesn't feel like a chore. read more

I have been going to Method Fitness for a few years now. We love our trainer, Caleb and he puts up with all of our shenanigans. The training is focused, educated and somehow even fun. read more

I've been training with Adam for about a year and a half and during that time I've become stronger and smarter with respect to how my body works. Adam is constantly educating himself on physiology and is happy to explain the underlying theories and reasons for anything we do. I feel encouraged and respected when I'm here, the best part is I'm pushed harder then I think I can handle because Adam knows what he is doing and knows what I'm capable of. read more

I've been training at Method for more than 2 years now, and it's the real deal: there are dedicated, well-informed trainers; careful workouts tailored to each client's goals; a clean, neo-industrial space with up-to-date equipment and never crowded; and just the right amount of motivation and encouragement to help me maintain the fitness plan. Amahl, the owner, does an excellent job of matching client and trainer, and Nigel Vincent (my trainer) is thoughtful, knows his exercise physiology, demonstrates each set of activities with precision, and makes the workouts challenging and fun, something I look forward to--and leave feeling energized and upbeat. Method works with a diverse range of clients at all fitness levels, all ages, and everyone is respected and encouraged. I wanted to improve my core strength, muscle tone, and overall fitness in time for a major birthday, and more than met that goal. Today, I have more strength, stamina, and better muscle tone than I did 10 years ago. As someone who's worked out at several local health clubs over the years, I've seen the usual one-size-fits-all approaches to fitness, people battling over equipment and machines, dirty locker rooms, phone jockeys, all the stereotypes of bad gym behavior. Method gets everything right (except the constant techno beat, sometimes tedious). Amahl, Nigel, and the other trainers deserve much credit for providing such a high-quality, positive experience. read more

Method is a great training studio for those who are serious about fitness and are dedicated to working with a trainer. It's not a regular gym, you're there specifically to work with a trainer, not on your own. It's spacious, there are never more than one or two people there, and it's very well-kept. I've worked most recently with Ramon Betances, who's been great. He pushes me to do my best but always with a sense of humor and professionalism. He's got an impish grin that keeps you going through the workout but he takes his work seriously. If you want some place that really caters to clients and is a cut above, this is your gym. They don't take walk-ins, so call or email for an appointment. And don't forget to ask for Ramon! read more

Here is an update from my last review from 2015. #1-I am still there!!!!! That says a lot. Everything I said before remains true. Adam, and other staff, absolutely tune in to where you are in your life and fitness. I feel they really connect in a non-judgemental way. It is wonderful to have a place to anchor my fitness needs and goals. Adam also shares his knowledge on fitness in a way that inspires you to do more. I am really glad I have Method fitness as a part of my weekly routine. read more

I started working out at Method back in 2012. I've worked with two different trainers: Caleb, who since moved, and Shane. My experience at this fitness studio has been great. The staff is very personable and there's never any pressure to buy more sessions, etc. They also vary the workouts to keep them different and challenging. The facility is also very clean, and the equipment is fairly new. read more

Adam is a fantastic trainer! He is smart, intuitive, adaptable and ensures that you will get a balanced, full body workout. I cannot recommend him enough. He will work around a busy schedule and will inspire you to be healthier person. read more

I've been a client at Method Fitness for about five years now. I've had some medical issues along the way and Amahl & his staff have been super supportive. I've been lucky enough to work with many of the trainers and loved them all. It is not like other gyms. It's a very calm, comfortable environment. My goal has always been to be strong and healthy. Of course I'd love to shed some pounds too but none of the trainers ever pushed me beyond what I could do. I've never felt intimidated going to Method either. There are men, women, teens, young & old, every shape and size person of all different abilities who work out at Method. Plus, they have a tread wall that is very fun (a little scary at first for someone like me who doesn't love to try new things). My previous trainer eased me into wall climbing and I loved it. My current trainer, Shane, has worked my love of boxing into my training routine. He really didn't do much of that with other clients but he knew I loved it so he started working it in. That's why I love Method...they listen to you and they work with you. They make fitness fun! read more

My husband and I have been clients at Method for years. We have been very happy their through several trainers. Their new facility in Richmond Square is great. Adam and Shane doing a great job. The owner, Amahl, is an engaged member of the Providence Community and not only runs a good business but gives back. We strongly recommend Method. read more

After a five year absence at the gym I decided to sign up with a personal trainer at Method Fitness. Mostly out of convenience of their location. However it has proven to be a great decision. The gym itself is always clean and they have everything you might need. I first met with Amahl (owner) he took his time with me to figure out what I was looking for and the best way to accomplish my goals. He paired me up with Adam. I have been working with Adam for the past ten weeks and I can't speak highly enough about him!! Adam is a great guy who really knows his stuff. It is obvious that he his passionate about what he does and keeps up with all the latest trends. He has designed a routine for me that challenges me, but does not destroy me!!! Therefore I am always happy to come back!! He is very patient and focused on making sure my technique is correct before loading up heavier weights. I have lost weight, added muscle, learned a lot and feel better than I have in years. I would highly recommend Adam and I look forward to continuing my work with him. read more

I have been training with Adam Clark at Method for about six months now, and honestly I feel very fortunate to be one of his clients. I had the goal of working with a professional trainer once a week to learn strength and weight training, and also I wanted to learn how to use (properly and safely) more of the strength and weights equipment at my regular gym for when I work out alone. I came to Method because I had known two other people in Providence who had been trained by Adam and they both highly recommended him (important aside: the people who recommended him are also both doctors, so I thought if this is the guy that they're seeking out, then that seems like a good endorsement to me). Besides wanting to learn how to lift weights safely and with supervision, I also came to Method because I had found my usual gym's weights area to be an intimidating space; I didn't feel comfortable there trying to learn. Working with a personal trainer was the only way I could get one-on-one guidance on lifting safely, in a non-intimidating space. My experience working with Adam toward these goals has only been positive. He has been very attentive, knowledgeable, and professional in all aspects. I now feel confident using my regular gym's strength and weights spaces and under Adam's supervision I have been making steady progress at a variety of strength and weight exercises. I consider my weekly training sessions with Adam to be an important investment in my health and well-being, and these sessions have also had the result of improving the quality of my work-outs I do alone. So if you are looking for a personal trainer in Providence, I would check out Adam and Method. read more
