When I was there on a recent Saturday, there seemed to be no staff either at the front desk or on the floor. In general, I think that staff should spend more time walking around and watching what members are doing and suggesting improvements and safety tips for them. This service should not be available only for those signed up for paid one-on-one, personal training.

The Best barre studio in the Burlington area…read more Xtend barre is a great community studio gym in the newer 3rd Ave. No one judges and everyone is super friendly and welcoming. If you are new to barre, it may take a few classes to learn the lingo and form. The instructors are really nice and patient and provides lots of modifications to the workout for all fitness levels. I love that its not just a boring barre class and there are a variety of classes to choose from that incorporate props to work out different muscle groups. The owner Christina, is very involved in the Burlington community and cares for the members. She does frequent special DJ classes, offers challenges and gives back to the community by donating/hosting fundraisers or helping promote awareness to other charities. I've meet some great people at Xtend that I now call my good friends and I'm thankful for Xtend.

I'm 38 now and have been a member at MSCF for 18 months now. Ever since collage I've struggled to…read morekeep in consistent good health. I would ride about a 12 month cycle where I would go to the gym and get back into shape, get either bored, frustrated or feel like I got to where I wanted and then I'd stop. Of course the weight would come back and I'd be right back at square one 12 months later. That all changed when I discovered Mountain Strength Crossfit. For the first time I enjoy working out. Everything from the coaches to the members to the ever changing and always challenging nature of CrossFit has made the time I spent at MSCF something I look forward to everyday. Rich and the coaches at MSCF are masters are giving you just the right amount of encouragement to make you reach deeper and try harder then you ever would on your own without overwhelming you with attitude. I felt right at home the very first time I walked in their door.

I started working out with Rich and Mountain Strength about six months ago, after a particularly…read moreunhealthy and dormant winter. After three months of working out for one hour a day, four days a week, and some serious nutritional realignment, my cholesterol levels were back where they should be and I was down a size in my jeans. By summer's end I'd lost 30 pounds. That's not what makes Mountain Strength so special, though. I've always hated exercise. Hated the gym (so many wasted memberships!) & the people at the gym. Lacked motivation and knowledge to work out on my own. Sound familiar? Because of Rich's personal warmth and affable nature, Mountain Strength provides a real sense of community. Going to work out is like going to hang out, only earlier in the morning and with more sweating. And because of his knowledge and openness, Rich is extremely sensitive to scaling exercises to meet individual's needs, which allows for more flexible workouts and a more interactive relationship. The most important thing for me has been that I have never once been yelled at during a workout! Many of my deep-seated memories of exercise-as-punishment have been replaced with real feelings of support and encouragement. I'm healthier than I've ever been - physically and mentally - and Rich and Mountain Strength have been fundamental in helping me get here. Bottom line: I wear my Mountain Strength t-shirt with pride, and I am the last person I ever thought would wear a shirt from a gym. Check it out!

Joey's personal training sessions have done wonders for me. I came to Joey at age 41 with quite a…read morefew physical health issues. I was out of shape, overweight, had high blood pressure and multiple physical injuries the dated back to my 'more active' days; the most difficult being degenerative disc disease (bad back). I had my initial assessment with Joey and we put together a plan of action designed specifically for what I hoped to improve/accomplish. I starting seeing Joey 1 day per week and after the first 2-3 weeks of 'good pain' I started to see the results I was looking for. I was losing weight, building lean muscle mass, had much more energy and significantly improved my flexibility. After 4 months with Joey, my doctor took me off of my high blood pressure medicine since I was in better shape and the medicine was making my blood pressure too low! Two years later, I continue to see Joey on a weekly basis and I feel great! While I will always struggle with back pain, Joey has helped me strengthen my core and this has considerably cut down the occurrence of my debilitating back spasms. I will continue to work with Joey for years come. Joey has a great demeanor and makes everyone feel comfortable and welcomed. I am living proof that you do not need to be in good physical condition to start seeing a personal trainer. Joey will design a custom plan for your body type and you will start looking and feeling better after 3-4 sessions with him. If you want to lose weight, get in better shape and have more energy, I highly recommend you contact Joe Rindone. He will get you where you want to be. Matt D.
