I know very little about anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, biomechanics, sports conditioning,…read moreexercise science or physical education. What I do know is that it feels good when I move my body in a healthy way. And there is no better place to do that than at Body Soul Personal Training. Eddie Fleury has been my Body Soul personal trainer since February, and it helps to have someone in my corner. I wasn't sure I'd like having a personal trainer. It seemed like a luxury, and I often wondered if I could afford it, if I was worth it, or if I'd see any progress. Today I can say without a doubt that this is the best gift I could have given to myself. I have developed an incredible rapport and trust with Eddie. We work as a team. Each session, Eddie gently adds something new to increase the duration or intensity. So gradually I am building upon what I did the week before. He calls them "progressions." The empirical data show that I have lost weight, inches and body fat; I have gained strength, endurance and flexibility. What is critical, however, is that I have gained more confidence, which cannot be measured with scales and charts. My skin is glowing, my clothes fit better, I am standing taller and I am setting a good example for my family. I am at peace with my body, my age, my abilities, my strengths and my life. Becoming the best version of myself: Strong. Confident. Secure. Powerful. Hopeful. Satisfied. Blessed. Here's to feeling healthy, staying fit and loving life! Here's to Body Soul!

I've been working with Body Soul since I moved to Providence in the summer of 2015. I've worked…read morewith 2 trainers; one moved and my current one, Vincent Tanner is fantastic; very professional. He's also friendly and funny yet always keeps me on my game. He knows what he's doing and he's constantly paying attention to proper form and to how to up the ante on my strength goals. I've also started getting deep tissue massages with Jay Moran for a long-term shoulder issue that was impeding my strength training. Again, Jay is professional and kind and has helped me gain increased mobility in just a few weeks. I don't know the other trainers as well, but the ones I've seen around the gym are always nice and seem to love what they do. Body Soul is the BOMB!

I've been a Client of Fitness together in Barrington for over 2 years, with a bit of a break due to…read morea couple of medical issues. My doctors tell me that, were it not for the training I received ahead of the traumas, that my recovery would have been much longer. That said, my physical condition has been much improved with the help and guidance of the trainers at FT Barrington. Yet when signing on initially, I never thought about the prospects of developing such a personal relationship with my trainers Robyn and Steve. And certainly with Ally, the Owner. I can't speak highly enough about the facility, the environment, the intent and engagement of the trainers, Ally's commitment to her Clients and trainers, and so on. Go check it out, you won't be disappointed!

The individual training has been great in this situation. Erskine has got me in shape for my surgeries so recovery was much quicker. During my post-surgery rehab Erskine spoke with my rehab specialist to develop a complimentary program of fitness so I did not lose flexibility, balance, and strength. I would highly recommend Fitness Together Barrington and its trainer.

From the pristine gym equipment to the charm of a historic mill reclaimed from an earlier time,…read moreMethod 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.

As someone who easily gets intimidated by commercial gyms and weight lifting, I sought out a way to…read moreprioritize 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.

I attended a free barre class here through yelp. I had never taken a barre class and didn't know…read morewhat to expect. Our trainer Michelle was a wonderful teacher and very knowledgable. She is a career dancer, so it's not like other places where a fitness instructor just takes a few certification classes. Because of her experience, she is great at explaining how to move and hold your body and how to correct your form. With a maximum class size of 5 - 6, you will have as close to personal training as you can get. The space itself is also top notch. The whole gym has a luxe feel and the studio is small but airy and bright. Between the nice facilities and unique classes, they offer a lot that you won't find anywhere else.

My 5 stars are based on my experience with doing their non-training, weekday gym membership. To be…read morehonest, I'm not sure it's something they actively seek clients for, but since I live a block away and work from home it worked out well. I can tell this gym is focused on personal training and from the reviews looks like 5 stars there as well. But back to the part-time membership - worth every penny. Because they are a personal training gym, we usually always had the place to ourselves which I ended up really, really liking. When I was in fantastic shape, going to the regular gym was nothing, but when you've got some extra pounds to shed, having a nearly private space was amazing. I was concerned that because it was a personal training gym a trainer would eventually come up and try to sell me on some sessions, but that didn't happen. Unlike larger gyms I've been to! Also because they are personal training, you have just about every piece of free-weight/aerobic equipment that you could want, along with several machines - again at your disposal, no worrying about waiting for them. They also offer classes that look fun. Finally you CANNOT, I repeat cannot beat the atmosphere here. It is really cool inside, extremely clean, set-up well (2 floors), modern and the staff/owners are so friendly and pretty much mind their clients and not your presence. In conclusion, the weekday membership is not for everyone, but if you can swing it, it's worth it!

An LLC for Herbalife Nutrition, New Life is one of the original nutrition clubs in the area. There are many sprouting up around the southcoast in MA and RI, but this is one of the few that also offers free fit-camps and other low cost fitness classes for all levels. The nutrition club specializes in gourmet smoothies that are 200 calories or under, while providing a minimum of 24 grams of protein and an abundance of vitamins, minerals and nutrients to constitute as a full meal! The hot or iced metabolism boosting teas are fantastic and delicious while providing energy without the crash!! They also provide homemade protein treats, snacks and even pies during certain times of the year to keep you on track with your goals. You do not need to join Herbalife in order to visit here. This is a great family and community at New Life Nutrition and are welcoming to everyone who comes through the door. They also take credit cards and have the five star program so you can earn points for every visit!

My absolute favorite shake is the white chocolate salted caramel. I've tried to make it at home myself but its just not as good! They also have meal replacement pies here that are really REALLY good. They taste just like a jello pie. Jello pie for dinner, cheers! I like that this is a busy place too. Sometimes it's super awkward to walk into a shake shop and be the only person in there, so then you have to make awkward conversation with the person on the bar. Not here! They also don't try to hard sell you. The most they will ask is, "would you like a free wellness eval today?". You can say "no thank you," and they will leave you alone. Weirdly enough, this is the #1 reason why I keep coming back for shakes here!

Like a lot of people we used to be super fit, but found ourselves entering the next phase of our lives looking for someone to get us back on track. She has been amazing.

She follows your moves closely and always ensures that you have proper positioning with the weights so that you get the most out of your workout and you don't injure yourself.

I came to her at my heaviest weight, unconfident and feeling the worst about my body. I knew I needed a change! Over the past year she has kicked my butt and whipped me into shape! She started off slow and kept building and building every week. Each week I was amazed at things I could do so much better than the week before. She pushes you through even when you want to give up because she sees the potential in someone and she won't give up on you! She has not only helped me lose 30lbs and change my body in so many ways but she has also given me so much self confidence and made me feel so strong. I never thought I would look at a progress photo and see what I see. I still have lots more work to do but I can't imagine doing it with anyone else. One last thing- if you are overweight like me starting a fitness journey can seem impossible and I understand that totally but anything you think that you CANT do, Karen will show you that you CAN. I never thought I could do what I do and I could've never done it on my own. Do not be intimidated and mislead at a big box gym, come see Karen! You will not regret it!
