Even though it's a group setting, you're grouped with others who are able to lift similar weight brackets as you. Even though everyone is sub grouped, everyone is still encouraging each other on their last rep!!!! Got the chance to meet Coach Ed as well!! Just everyone has been great! I truly believe this is the best space to practice consistency because it truly promotes community and encouragement. This is such a diverse group of people on different stages of fitness. Safe space to get familiar with equipment. Extremely pleased with my progress and excited to continue!!! Thank you Impact!!!

In 2022, I was looking for a trainer who could help me build up strength in my knees and also teach…read moreme how to lift weights with the correct form! My non-negotiables in identifying a trainer were someone who knew the different muscle groups and variations of exercises, made me feel safe, was patient, would challenge me, and supported my fitness goals. Impact Fitness and the trainers, Liam and Ed, embody all those characteristics! On my first day, I could not lift a trap bar because of my form and general weakness in my knees. I was also unable to jump up and land on both of my feet or even crouch down in a squat without it being super uncomfortable. Each day, Liam was incredibly patient with me and celebrated all the little wins with me as my knee progressively got stronger. Liam also encouraged me to seek physical therapy and took time to incorporate some of my physical therapy exercises into the exercises that I was doing in the training. Fast forward to August 2025, I can easily do four sets of 192 lbs on the trap bar and maxed at 205 lbs. I can now squat while holding a 40lb dumbbell, and be confident in the strength of my knees. I also learned how to do different variations of different exercises to accommodate my height and relative flexibility. If you are wondering if this is the place for you, I would say BIG YES if: 1) You want to be in a safe and empowering gym where folks encourage you to push harder but also celebrate the big wins 2) New to strength training and do not know where to start 3) Have goals to improve muscle weakness and learn how different exercises work different muscle groups 4) Looking for a space that does not have "gym bro" culture that is centered on supporting people reaching their optimal health Overall, I love this place and am so grateful to both Liam and Ed for being excellent trainers. I included a video of the inside of the gym, which is always kept clean, and they provide complimentary sweat towels, a filtered water station, and bathrooms. Truly a gem! *Important note: I was enrolled in the semi-private class with 2-3 people per group. I have also taken the group class, which was great!*

The workouts let me get in the zone as I pump iron. Stone is a stickler for form (as he should be!), which has been invaluable over the years as I've had little to no injuries. The workouts themselves are challenging and progressive, with increasing weights over the weeks. They are never boring and certainly not easy. Stone's flexibility with my crazy work schedule is something I greatly appreciate, as I hate to miss my workouts. His knowledge and expertise have made my fitness journey fun and I've noticed the changes on my body. Keep it up, Stone! :)

This is my review for Tucker at Powerform! I've been working with Tucker now for nearly 3 months…read more He came on recommendation from 2 of my friends and I've now referred another of my best friends to him as well, and so glad we're all getting trained by him. From day one, he's been engaged, incredibly enthusiastic and clearly loves what he does. I appreciate his energy and creative approaches to agility, flexibility and strength exercises. He's attuned to form and adjusts weight accordingly based on what he sees in you... and he's a fantastic communicator. I have definitely left each session feeling accomplished and having learned something new!

Max, the owner, was quick to respond to my online inquiry and was able to set me up with two trainers- Mikkie and John. He took time to chat with me about my goals. Shout out to Max for his excellent communication and thought processes for connecting you with particular trainers. John - within seconds, I immediately felt comfortable with John. He always lays out the groundwork for you so you know what to expect. His warmups always get me motivated for what's to come. I love that he is so encouraging and always keeps me on my counts during reps. John is extremely personable, and I truly enjoy our conversations. Mikkie- she has refined my squat game like no other and has pushed me to lift more than I ever expected to. She pushes me in the best way and always gives me opportunities to excel. I truly enjoy her style of training. As a mother of two young children, working out at Powerform has been transformative, to say the least. This has been my time out of the day for myself both mentally and physically. After many years of aimless workouts, I finally feel like I know how to spend my time to get the results I want. I feel stronger than ever, and that is thanks to the wonderful staff at Powerform. Highly recommend!

I love working with Coach Nando! I've worked out my whole life but as a nurse, Covid turned my…read moreworld upside down. I was deployed to hot spots and working every day. Gyms were closed, I was tired all the time, and honestly my nutrition went to crap. I gained A LOT of weight. At one point in my life I was very close to competing in a show but that didn't happen at that point. It's always been something I've wanted to do. Once I got back in the gym and dialed in the nutrition I lost a lot of weights and gained back my muscle. I knew I still had a lot of work ahead of me and I would do better if I had a coach. I looked at several coaches, local and remote. After I had a consultation call with coach, I knew he was the right coach for me. I could tell from our first conversation that he would be honest with me and he would push me. I have continued losing weight and gaining muscle with his coaching. I've now competed in several shows, done multiple spartan races, and ran my first marathon. I can say with 100% certainty that I am in the best shape of my life and I thank Coach for getting me there. I'm excited to see what we build together over the next year as I transition into a different division. Whether you are looking for a lifestyle coach and just want to lose some weight, tone up, etc; or you want to start competing, I highly recommend Built by Nando.

After dieting and training on my own for 6 months- (started at roughly 300lbs and came down to…read more235lbs when I saw Fernando)I was exhausted and my body had plateaued. At that point I knew I needed to do something different if I wanted to compete on stage so I hired a professional that came recommended by the local IFBB pro in my gym. From the beginning Fernando not only displayed a level of confidence that was genuine (due to his experience and expertise)but he also is able to pass this confidence on to you as well. I needed this confidence because he nearly doubled my food intake!!! I was so afraid of getting fat again I was starving myself which I discovered once I started following his meal plan. So now I was on a mission to get lean and I was eating more! Best of both worlds! 24 weeks later, checking in every single week, many diet modifications, hitting every workout and cardio session and regularly posing I was able to step on stage at the 2023 Tahoe Show to which I took 2nd in Open Class and 4th in Masters division. I was extremely satisfied with my results considering where I started and the fact that it was my first show! Many thanks to you Coach Nando and wife coach Bere. Both of you were ALWAYS there when I needed you and most importantly for me as a bodybuilding nerd - Nando you always were willing to explain the reasoning behind your approach. This is am forever grateful for because you were not only a coach but a teacher as well! I will have this knowledge for the rest of my life now. If you want to reach far beyond what your mind can imagine for your physique I highly recommend you get on Team Built. You will not be disappointed!!!

After an intro call where Nick explained the format and gym (flexible session plans, private gym, validated parking), he matched me with Ada as a trainer. Ada has been a blast to work with. It's been a few months and I've been making great progress feeling stronger and more in tune with my body. She's very attentive and really listens to your goals and desires (strength and coordination for myself) in creating a program for you, and she made me feel totally comfortable and supported when I told her I had no idea what I was doing. I feel much more confident with her showing me the fundamentals, as well as how I should adjust to correct errors in my form to keep me from getting injured. She is a perfect mix of fun and encouraging such that I'm always looking forward to my session each week!

Every session feels intentional and personalized, not rushed or repetitive. Most importantly, I can genuinely see and feel progress. I'm stronger, more confident, and finally on a clear, sustainable path toward meeting my fitness goals. If you're looking for a trainer who's supportive, knowledgeable, and truly invested in your success, Ada is the one. Highly recommend!

I met Tom 1 year ago through a fellow fitness practitioner, started training with him 5 weeks ago, and am in shock at how quickly my fitness level is growing. I am pushing more weight than ever before, and I credit his smart programming. As a trainer myself, I have not enjoyed working with someone so much.

Workouts are circuit style, and Anthony can also tailor them on the fly depending on your current needs. The session lasts between 30-45 mins. You feel accountable to Anthony and the peer group you train with, and everyone pushes and encourages everyone else to train hard. You will leave exhausted but happy. If you're having trouble committing to a regular gym schedule, this environment is very conducive to developing a good gym habit. The health, fitness and confidence you gain from this affects every aspect of your life, so the cost seems insignificant for the benefits you reap. Anthony offers a free workout session where you can try out 1 day, and it's a nice way to test if you like it. I can't recommend Anthony highly enough - this will change your life.
