Arpwave has been the biggest game changer in my life! has Greatly reduced my back to almost 0. getting back to being able to my old activities all thanks to Neely!! read more

I'm so thankful I found Neely! She is a true ally and thoughtful coach that has been so helpful during our time together. Her private studio in North Park is easily accessible with parking and wonderful natural lighting. You can tell from the moment you walk in the care she puts into cultivating her space to feel welcoming, tidy and safe. I was looking to build muscle and flexibility while recovering from multiple car accidents in 2023. At the end of that year my hip was dislocated and fractured which created a large imbalance within my body. Although surgery was in conversation I knew a more holistic route to healing after the accident was the path that was right for me. I've done Personal Training sessions and ARP Neuro Therapy with Neely for close to a year. The progress we've made is huge and I'm thankful for her consistent encouragement, mindfulness, adjustments and expertise. She personalizes our plan each month to build on what we've worked on, checks in weekly to see how I'm feeling and genuinely cares about my overall health. Neely is a true gem in the industry! Whether you're looking for help recovering from injury, dealing with health issues or are ready to build up with a personal trainer I can't recommend her enough. read more

Neely is the trainer you're looking for! As a 40-something ex-athlete with multiple old injuries, the arthritis in my knees was stopping me from being able to do the things I wanted to do, like play pickleball or practice yoga. I had originally found Neely over covid when she was leading virtual strength classes, and I reached out to her after the world opened up again to see if she could help me with my arthritis pain. Fast forward almost three years later: Neely has helped me build up my strength to the point where I can do things without thinking about them or worrying if something will aggravate my knees. Over the last three years I have injured myself again multiple times (a meniscus tear last year and a torn calf earlier this year), and each time Neely helped me recover faster and get back to building strength. I haven't had good experiences with physical therapists and I was worried about trying a personal trainer, but I'm so happy I did! Neely works with you to meet you where you are today and build a program that progressively gets you to where you want to be. I love that she supports me and adapts my workouts for how I'm feeling and what's going on in my life outside of the studio. If you're looking for a trainer who has experience with injuries and rehab, Neely is your girl! read more

Neely is an incredible person and wealth of knowledge when it comes to health. She has helped me for years thru car accidents and mold poisoning detox. Her services and knowledge are very extensive so whatever you have going on, she can help. I highly recommend her and consider her an epic resource for any and all health related issues. She's amazing! read more

Working with Neely was one of the best health decisions I've ever made. As someone who had a longstanding desire to get into a strength routine but had had several less-than-pleasant experiences with trainers who had pushed me to the point of passing out (and no progress), I came to Neely with nothing but hope. From the very first fitness and nutrition consult, I had felt nothing but supported and understood in my goals. Neely is not your typical trainer - she has a wide and deep range of expertise that allows her to tailor her approach to you beyond just fitness. Her knowledge of kinesiology, nutrition, posture and alignment helped with a holistic improvement in my ability to complete workouts, improve my posture, and create healthy habits both in and out of the gym. I have never seen as much progress as I have in the past year I have worked with her. I no longer fear the gym, and I have become so much more knowledgeable about my body. Neely is a natural and gifted teacher -- she will tell you the WHY behind what she recommends. She approaches her relationships with her clients as a partnership -- she is so passionate about being a partner in your health and wellness journey and never lets you feel like you're alone in trying to figure out how to best advocate for your health. She always checks in between sessions to see how your body is feeling after a workout, and adapts routines accordingly. For anyone who gets nervous about working out around others, her private gym space is a gorgeous, comfortable spot that can put anyone at ease. She really thinks of everything she can do to support her clients, and she knows how to get results in a safe and sustainable way. I now love and crave the gym. I can't recommend her enough! read more

I wanted to give an update to my review -- I've now been working with Neely for over two years, and this is the most consistent I've ever been with exercise. I honestly can't say enough amazing things about her! She's been such a wonderful support in my life. Neely has the best energy, and I always leave our sessions feeling better than when I walked in. She's so encouraging and kind, and I've grown so much in the last two years. Before I met her I had no idea about proper form, how to squat, lunge or lift weights. Neely guided me step by step to a point where now I'm lifting heavy things and I feel so much more strong and confident. On top of training, she's also helped both my husband and me with our nutrition, which has made such a big difference in our overall health. I've learned to listen to my body and take care of it in a way that feels really good. Neely is truly a treasure, and anyone who gets the chance to work with her is so lucky! read more

Working with Neely has been one of the best decisions I've ever made for my health. I've been working with her for over two years, and the experience has been truly transformational. When we first started, I was struggling to feel my best and didn't fully understand what was holding me back. Through our work together, Neely helped me identify the root causes -- from stress management to gut health -- and guided me toward lasting, sustainable change. We did lab testing, made thoughtful adjustments to my nutrition (no fad diets, just balanced and nourishing meals), and focused on reducing stress in realistic ways. Today, I feel so much better than when I first started, and I've built healthy habits that I know will stay with me for life. Neely is an incredible listener and problem solver -- she always takes the time to understand what's going on, helps me brainstorm solutions, and checks in regularly to make sure I'm supported and seeing progress. If you're looking for someone who truly cares, meets you where you are, and helps you make meaningful, lasting changes to your health, I can't recommend Neely enough! read more

I have been looking for a personal trainer for my teenage daughter for a while. My daughter gained a lot of weight with different mental health meds over the past few years. I found Neely and she is so much more than a personal trainer. It has only been about 3 weeks but she is working so hard with my daughter not only physically (working out), but mentally and with nutrition. She is so informative and has so much knowledge. She has really good supplements that are from a functional facility that are so good. My daughter is so hopeful that her body and mind will change, and Neely just gets her and understands her. I sat in on the nutritional class and have also learnt so much, and I am also taking the supplements. Neely thank you for just getting Cindy and working with her, and making her feel normal with all her mental health struggles she has been through. I highly recommend Neely. read more

Really can't say enough about the wonderful experience our daughter has enjoyed with Neely. The first visit was conducted over the phone where a real rapport was established. During her first in person visit, a similar approach was used which ended in some sweat equity. In some places, they work you so hard, you lose motivation to continue. Our daughter was sore the next day and she set up her second appointment the immediate following weekend Saturday. She came home with some things to work on everyday and she's been diligent in completing her "homework". This has been a really important step for her physically and emotionally. You don't fake something like this. You either have it or you don't. You can tell from a mile away, that Neely has been a teacher and an excellent one at that. Neely has it. Thank you Neely from Josefina & Frank and our daughter. read more

Neely is AMAZING. Cannot recommend her enough. I talk to all of my friends who struggle with their health about Neely because that's how much I believe she can help anyone who is going through a tough time with their health. I was overweight when I first met her, lost a lot of weight after going through a long time without being able to. And now I'm pregnant! And I thank Neely for me being able to get pregnant. read more

Neely really knows her stuff. She is kind, motivated, and professional. I visited her regarding nutrition, and it didn't disappoint. We took a look at all of my habits and what could be worked on. read more

Neely is one of the few personal trainers I've meet who knows what she's doing. I came to her with a torn rotary cuff. I had this injury for 2 or 3 years and had gone to physical therapy prior to seeing her (they didn't fix it). I went to see Neely got the injury healed in about 2 months, and also addressed my bad posture along with that (which i had my entire life). Her knowledge and experience in personal fitness definately are on another level when compared to other personal trainers I've meet. read more

Because life happens, I fell off the fitness wagon for a while, but after gaining some COVID weight, I knew it was time to do something about it again and I knew exactly who to turn to. Last fall, I resumed training with Neely to try to overcome some serious health challenges where weight gain was truly the least of my worries. My energy was at an all time low and I was barely surviving life, let alone living it. Six months later, the COVID weight is gone and I have more energy now than I've probably ever had in my life. Neely's holistic approach to fitness and health was exactly what I needed and her warm personality and ability to work around physical limitations has made me a loyal customer. I started off with just personal training this time around and that was great. But to make it even more fun, I invited a friend along and now the two of us see Neely twice a week to get our sweat on! Working out is never going to be my favorite activity, but getting a break in the middle of a busy work day and getting to hang out with two amazing babes makes it something I look forward to every week. If you're on the fence, don't be. Just go work out with her and discover what a difference a trainer who actually cares about your total health (physical and mental) can make. Spoiler alert: it's a lot of difference. read more

Can't recommend Neely and Sweat Society enough. I have been working with Neely on nutrition consulting. Not only do I feel better, but I feel more empowered with knowledge, as she walks you through the science and gives you practical tools to implement in your life. Her dedication to wellness is evident and I encourage anyone looking to prioritize themselves, go see Neely! read more

I absolutely love this place! Neely is is positive and encouraging, and looks at your personal goals and works from there. She pushes you to be your full potential, while bringing a lot of energy to the space. The studio is gorgeous with a ton of natural light and clean equipment. Will be coming here consistently and can't wait to see my results speak for themselves. read more

My daughter has been struggling with self esteem and weight gain lately. We researched many personal trainers. It took weeks of vetting but I think we found a Jen in Sweat Society! She had a phone consultation with Neely and my daughter really is excited to begin training later today. I am excited to have her start her fitness journey. read more

I found Sweat Society Fitness, about 3 years ago when a friend came into town and we took a "Babes with Biceps" class together. It was such a warm and welcoming studio from the moment I arrived. The class was enjoyable and my instructor, Neely Waiche, really took the time to give everyone the attention needed at their fitness level to get their best results. Even though we were at two very different fitness levels we left that class renewed and proud of our effort that day. Since then I have recommended this studio to two other friends and even followed them when they moved to a larger studio. All the instructors are kind an informed and very patient, but the majority of my classes remained with Neely. In those years, she continues to be a great friend and checks in on me often especially when she hasn't seen me in class. That care and dedication has kept me motivated even in a pandemic when I switched to online zoom classes. She's never stopped keeping our exercises creative and challenging nor has she stopped making sure we are motivated and taking care of ourselves. Sweat Society is a great "gym" but also and amazing support system for anyone wanting to learn more about nutrition and Fitness. Can't wait to return to class in person someday! read more

Neely is the best! I took both group and private classes with her and loved how she built the workout routine. Within the group, she paid special to help me improve my diastasis recti and took all my personal requests into our private classes. She even made a mini routine for my 5 year old! Her personal attention and attention to detail is something special. She didn't miss encouraging anyone and was able to help everyone on their form and personal improvement. Neely should definitely be on the top of your personal trainer list! read more

I finally decided to try the ARPWAVE on my neck and shoulders. Neely used her knowledge and training to put together a whole rehab plan to help with my old neck injury. It worked amazing and I had the most pain relief and additional range of motion then I have ever had with any treatment. Will definitely go back for more ARPWAVE sessions. read more

I stumbled upon Sweat Society two years ago and I've been blessed to meet such a great owner/trainer like Neely. From the first day, she always made me feel welcomed and concerned for the health goals of each of her clients. The group class sizes were small enough that all the workouts felt personalized. Neely really takes the time to make fun workouts and puts her whole heart into each client. Since the time pandemic, we have switched to group zoom classes and she always finds a way to bring fun, high energy to each class while leaving you sweating until the end. Every workout I feel like a total badass babe. I highly recommend Neely and Sweat Society. If it wasn't for Sweat Society, I would have never started working out. Thanks! read more

I've been going to Sweat Society for almost 2 years now! I love the small class sizes, the music, and how personable Neely and her other instructors are! The studio is always really clean as well. I find the cables are challenging as well as all of the other exercises, she makes sure to check in individually to tailor the group class to everybody's fitness level. Since the pandemic, I've been attending her zoom workouts in my living room and I ALWAYS get a good sweat in. It's really nice they offer this virtual service because I'm not sure when I'll feel 100% comfortable going into a gym - despite being one of those people that used to go to the gym everyday! read more

Neely is a wealth of information and I've loved working out with her. I felt stronger after only a few weeks and her positive energy, encouragement, and flexibility with scheduling makes her the greatest trainer. definitely recommend! read more

The owner Neely is absolutely the real deal. If you want someone who is knowledgeable, kind, and SUPER great at what they do: come to Neely. Her GENUINE joy and passion for helping others make progress on their health goals is what makes her really stand out from all the trainers out there. I have been going to her for personal training sessions for the last few months, and I was nervous before I started; I'm not fit or crazy health conscious so you never know how someone will make you feel when you're trying to just get your shit together, lol. But Neely really met me where was I was at and I have made SO much progress, thanks to her!! I feel supported and safe to just be myself. If you are looking for someone to build your health goals with, I 100% recommend Neely!!! read more

Amazing classes with thoughtful, talented trainers. I've had multiple strength training and cardio workout sessions with Neely and she is so encouraging. Truly listens to your goals and makes the class fun, yet effective and challenging in the best way. Also - the music selection is always amazing. Very important. I would (and do) wholeheartedly recommend Sweat Society to all my friends. Can't wait to return to the studio again!! read more

Cutest little boutique workout studio. Most important part of this studio is NEELY. She is the most amazing person, very knowledgeable and caring!!

I recommend sweat society for everyone!!! You are awesome Neely. Thank you for all your help and love your virtual classes too. read more

I started personal training and nutrition with Neely back in March, it had been a year since Covid started and I needed to get back on to it. It had easily been the best decision I made! On the nutrition side Neely starts with making small changes that are completely doable, which makes you feel like you are set up for success and can actually accomplish your goals. She educates you on what you are eating and helps you make healthy swaps for food you already love. The education part has been huge for me because now I am able to pick out new healthy food items at the grocery store by knowing what to look for and what to steer clear of. The best thing to come out of changing my diet is my sleep has never been better! On the personal training side Neely is a rockstar! She completely tailors the workout to your goals, soreness scale, and energy level. I am someone who works on my feet all day and sometimes by the end of it I really don't want to exercise and be on my feet more. I let Neely know when I get there how I am feeling and she alters the exercises so I still get a killer workout but don't completely deplete my energy. Not only is Neely great at what she does but she genuinely cares about you and makes sure to check in on days when you don't see her. Like i said earlier easily the best decision I have made for myself! read more

Neely cultivates such a welcoming and friendly environment. Everyone who attends classes and the instructors here immediately feel like friends. No matter your level, you are pushed to do your best but always met where you are. Neely offers modifications and special attention if you need it, and always encourages you through those last few tough reps. I love coming to this studio! read more

Wow, so glad I found Sweat Society last August! I was able to achieve my fitness and nutrition goals through the workout programs and Neely's helpful guidance and encouragement. She's the best! The workouts are challenging and gratifying in a non-judgmental and friendly studio environment. My favorites are Bada** Booty Bands and Babes with Biceps. Over the course of my 3 personalized nutrition sessions, we assessed my eating habits, built a plan to gradually phase out unhealthy habits, and created a customized healthy and balanced nutrition plan. Nutrition and exercise are the key to a healthier lifestyle. I recently completed my third nutrition session and am truly happy to have made so much progress. Better yet, despite the current stay at home orders (COVID-19), I can still workout virtually with Sweat Society through live-stream classes! read more

Neely is a great physical trainer. She customizes her workouts what what your fitness goals are and she cares about your success and is a great motivator and all-around good person. My body saw a definite change from working with her. I would highly recommend Neely for someone starting out or for someone who wants that perfect body part and isn't afraid to sweat for it!! 5* read more

I had never worked with a personal trainer before and the idea was always very intimidating to me. I have always had struggles with working out and finding a good rhythm of what type of workout worked best for me. After some searching, I decided to give Neely's studio a shot. I was pleasantly surprised at how personable and invested she was in my goals and making sure I didn't have pain when working out. She is such an encouragement when giving guidance and leading me through a workout! She is also incredibly accommodating to differing levels of ability - I have some back pain that can flare up at times and she altered some of my workouts to accommodate what my body needed. Training with her has helped me learn how to properly care for my body and my back on a daily basis as well. I have loved working with her and I highly recommend her if you're looking for a positive, inspirational, and empowering experience in working out! read more

I absolutely love Neeily! She is one of the sweetest people and genuinely cares about helping you to your goals. I can not recommend her enough. She's helped me so much after being in a wheelchair helping me lose 30 pounds on just nutrition. I also had 2 non union bones and she helped me change my diet and my bones healed well. If you want someone who really cares, I definitely recommend her. read more

I found Neely and Sweat Society a little over a year ago while using Classpass. I simply was looking for a good workout that worked with my odd schedule and wasn't too far from home. I was using Classpass because I get bored so quickly with certain workouts that I felt the need to switch often. The moment I took Babes with Biceps with Neely I went home and canceled Classpass. She was infectious with her positive attitude and with class sizes small enough that I was actually getting results. Neely takes the time to get to know her students, their goals, and who they are. She is there to support not just our physical health, but also our businesses and our family life. I am so glad I found Sweat Society and can't wait to get back in the Studio soon! read more

If you are intimidated by going to big gyms and you are looking for effective, specialized training in an intimate setting definitely come to this studio and check it out! Neely and the other instructors at this fitness studio are so amazing and well qualified. From the first time that I met Neely she instantly made me feel welcome and noticed. She genuinely wanted to get to know me and take care of me and I see her doing this for all her clients that come by the studio. Their workouts vary each day but generally they are circuit style training. These workouts kill me every time especially if you take it with the instructor Mariah. I know my body is being put to work!! read more

I love this fitness studio and I can't wait to be there in person again, one day! The Bad Ass Booty Bands class is my favorite class offered, the work out literally kicks your butt in the best type of way! It hurts so good! Neely has poured her heart and soul into this special studio and it truly shows!! read more

I was lucky enough to find Neely aka Neels online. She is a wonderful trainer who encourages you within your limits. I really like the fact that during our first session, she wanted to gauge my abilities while also getting to know me. She made the time go by quickly with conversation and was willing to continue the session longer than planned to help me with my experience. And with each session, she made sure to check that I was comfortable in pushing my limits while keeping a watchful eye. This was clear when, during one session, she stopped me due to seeing how shaky I was, even providing snacks and water to help my blood sugar levels. If you want to have a trainer who is intuitive, experienced, and kind, then please look no further. read more

Her wonderful energy always boosts me as soon as I walk in the door! She's with you every step of the way no matter what your goals are read more
