We have YET to receive the refund. Also, when Covid has gotten so bad and my wife as a nurse thought it would be best for us to not take the class. I emailed Peter multiple times to ask for a refund (I understand he has a no refund policy) my wife and I thought he would be understanding by this since she is around people with Covid all the time, and we were doing what was best for us and keeping people in the class safe. I to this day still have no received my refund nor have a received a email reply. I have called his office multiple times but I am getting no call back. Very disappointed. Not a place I would recommend for someone to go. I didn't know it would be that hard to see that my wife goes through seeing people with Covid and putting her life on the line, and Peter can't even give us our refund. So sad.

I began martial arts classes with Sensei Varasconi simply for self defense. I was a social worker…read morethat had to visit clients in some of Connecticut's most dangerous neighborhoods. What began as a desire to basically be prepared to defend myself turned into a passion. Sensei Tom and Sensei Bob Varasconi are Grand Masters (10th degree black belts) who have more than 35 years of Martial Arts experience. They are both former top ranked fighters, former elite athletes in other sports in addition to martial arts, and certified personal trainers. They combine all of these aspects to provide an incredible training in their style of Hamzys Ketsu-Ka Karate. Their classes incorporate endurance training, cross fit type conditioning, all while providing you with the best combination of martial arts technique and skill for practical self defense. Their dojo has a welcoming atmosphere encouraging students of all skill levels and ages. My quest for learning basic self defense grew into a journey to achieve my black belt, and now it has evolved to continue on the the achieving my Master level rank. I have grown in terms of physical ability and mental ability as well. There is no high pressure approach to joining. You pay a low monthly fee (no contracts!) and can attend as many classes as you would like each week.

Greg is the first trainer who not only made me lose weight but he has changed my body. The gains I have made are remarkable and for the first time in my 32 years I can honestly say, I love my figure! Definitely go to Fitbody Personal Training!!!

I have never written a review before, but feel compelled to do so after completing about 50…read moretraining sessions with Greg at Fitbody over the past 5 months. About me: 41 years old, male, college athlete (rowing), 25 years experience lifting weights. I'm 6'5" and weighed about 210 lbs. when I started at Fitbody. Greg is the first personal trainer I have ever worked with. Fitbody is located on the second floor of a commercial building in Avon, CT. It is clean and private. There are a wide variety of dumbbells, weighted balls, resistance bands, mats, and benches. There is also a Smith Machine with plenty of plates for presses and squats. Lots of natural light and good music to motivate you. Having never worked with a trainer before, I wasn't sure what to expect from Greg. Whatever expectations I had going in, Greg exceeded them. First, Greg is extremely professional: he is accommodating when it comes to scheduling workouts; always on time; always prepared when I enter the gym; never on his cell phone or distracted with other things; completely focused on me and my workout. Second, he is knowledgeable: he explains the purpose of every exercise, varies workouts to keep things challenging, and introduced many new exercises to my routine. Third, Greg is motivating: he has a positive attitude; compliments me when I work hard or show improvement; pushes me when he sees that I'm dogging it; and makes difficult workouts more fun. The workouts are challenging. Each session, we focus on a specific body part: for me, the split is as follows: (1) chest, (2) biceps, (3) shoulders, (4) back, (5) triceps, and (6) legs. We usually do 4 sets of various exercises focused on the applicable body part (i.e. on chest day we may do incline bench press, dumbbell press, push-ups, and cable flys). Between sets is where the real fun happens- rather than rest, Greg has me perform various plyometric exercises like running up and down stairs, pushing a weighted sled, jumping on and off a bench, hitting the punching bag, etc. The cumulative effect is exhausting but very effective. Every workout concludes with some abdominal work. There is a tremendous feeling of accomplishment after each workout that I appreciate almost as much as the gains I have made. Greg has provided me with an opportunity to work hard and feel good about my effort and progress. And I have definitely made great progress, especially when I worked with Greg on my diet. I have lost 20 lbs. over the course of about 5 months- I'm now 190 lbs. and 10% body fat. I can see veins in my abs, arms, chest, and shoulders. At 41 years old, I don't think I've ever looked this good. I am proud of my body and the progress I've made while working with Greg at Fitbody It took me a while to pick up the phone and call Greg to schedule my first workout, but I'm really glad that I did. I highly recommend Fitbody. I hope this review was helpful.
