I came into this journey already having accomplished a lot on my own--I had overcome obesity and…read moreeven maintained a three-year running streak without missing a single day. But I knew I needed more. I wanted to lose additional fat, build lean muscle, and truly tone my body, but I didn't have the knowledge or structure to get there on my own. That's where Coach Josiah made all the difference. From the very beginning, he took the time to get to know me on a personal level before ever introducing his program. That stood out immediately. Our communication was consistent and meaningful, and that accountability was exactly what I needed. I was able to be open about injuries and limitations, and instead of letting those hold me back, he guided me through them with a plan that kept me progressing safely and effectively. Because of Josiah's coaching, I am now at the lowest weight I've been since I was a young teenager. More importantly, I feel stronger, more confident, and more informed about how to maintain and continue improving my fitness. If you're looking for someone who truly cares, communicates, and knows what they're doing, I can confidently say he is someone you can trust. I'm excited to keep building on this progress and am grateful to have had him guide me the way.

From the moment I walked in the gym, I knew this was going to be different than the typical "membership driven, mega-chain gym" we're accustomed to. Boy was I right! John took his time listening to my goals and more importantly, he set expectations on just how exactly we'll get there... together! I'm loving my personalized one-on-one training sessions with his Personal trainer team Babbet, Brandon, Lee and I look forward to training with them all!! This gym is sparkling clean from the studio to the showers and lockers. They've got it all here Have you ever looked forward to one a full hour of muscle burning, thirst quenching, booty blasting, back sweating workout? Yeah, me either, until now!! Thank you John Allen's Personal Training for helping me find my fire again! Desiree Collins

I signed up in person for personal training services and paid $1,800. Before signing, I was…read moreverbally told that I would receive a 100% refund if I canceled the next day. Based on that assurance, I agreed. I canceled within 24 hours . However, the refund was refused. I was also not provided a written copy of the contract or cancellation policy at the time of signing. This experience was very disappointing. We were cancelling due to health reasons . John Allen is not trustworthy person . He gives false promise and cheat people by taking their money and start ignoring calls and messages once he got the money . I recommend that anyone considering signing up ask for the full written contract and not rely on verbal assurances. I do not recommend anyone to join this place . We felt misled and disappointed by how this was handled. Please make sure you receive all terms in writing before committing to any payment.

My son has been training at Ignite and he absolutely loves it…read more Ignite is a place where they train young athletes and help them improve physically. They met with us and identified some areas my son could work on after a consultation and set up a training plan. What I like is the trainer to kid ratio, the classes aren't that big and there is usually several trainers helping out. The facility is just for training athletes, it's their specialty. They also have the athletes log their workouts for review purposes. Also loved the fact that they are very low pressure with the training packages that they offer. It's pricey but worth it --- it's too darn hot to train outside!!!! If you are looking for a place to enhance your kid's workouts give ignite a call!

They started off with an athletic evaluation and let us know where your strengths and weaknesses are. They then have a plan for you but not just athletically, nutritionally as well. As a parent, I feel they care so much about their athletes. We ended up signing on monthly instead of just for the summer. The boys love training there and we have seen athletic gains in just the few weeks they have been attending.

I'm going to do my best to put in to words what I've felt joining this community. I was finding…read moremyself looking for a gym that could provide something more than just a great workout. In finding Suffer City I've experienced something far beyond what I was looking for. The community is vibrant. The coaches are welcoming and attentive to new members. They will challenge you but also have your best interest in mind with modifications when needed. Much more than that is a community of members that will embrace you where you are personally on your fitness journey. No matter what your fitness level this is for you! The workouts themselves are some of the best I've seen. I've previously competed at a D1 level in athletics and find the workouts to be just as challenging if not more challenging than any I've participated in throughout my life. I've done anything from box gyms, CrossFit, and other boutique fitness concepts. Suffer City is the REAL DEAL. If you are looking for a fitness community with great owners and coaches, look no further. Suffer City has you covered.

I could go on and on about Suffer City. First, a little background about me: when I started…read moretraining with Jason I hadn't exercised in 11 years. No joke, 11 years! Long story short, I had some joint damage in my left ankle and knee and was scared to exercise. The doctor way-back-when told me that I'd probably always have damaged joints and trouble exercising. I also had TRIPLETS a few years ago and gained a lot of weight that hadn't come off. A friend motivated me to just give it a shot and try exercising. I started training with Jason and at another gym too--one of those "boot camp" type places. Working with Jason, I changed my diet, started exercising consistently, and pretty quickly lost almost 30 pounds. And I did a Spartan race, which I still can't believe. The other gym I tried--and most other gyms I've tried--are intimidating, too cliquey, too crowded, and I didn't see results. The boot camp had these weird workouts that seemed totally insurmountable and gave me a feeling of defeat before I even started (like weird "1000 rep" challenges--no, I'm not gonna get through 1000 burpees in half an hour). Suffer City is different. Here are the great things about Suffer City: -The class sizes are limited, I think to about 12 people. So, you're not ramming into other people while trying to get through the workout. -The workouts are varied--so varied! There are different sessions with totally different exercises every day. It's never boring. The sculpt sessions focus on building muscle; the move sessions focus on cardio; the lift sessions focus on lifting but the weight is varied based on your ability/what you're comfortable with. I'm always fascinated and downright impressed by all of the different exercises Jason and Danielle come up with. -It's not cliquey. You don't walk in and feel like everyone is glaring at you. The people make this place really great. Everyone is friendly, people cheer each other on and provide motivation. And if you go at a consistent time you start to see the same people, get to know them, and look forward to seeing them. I look forward to training in the morning and seeing my usual group! When I miss a morning I get that whole feeling-of-missing-out, which motivates me to go back again. -You don't have to be a superstar athlete to train here, but you also can be a superstar athlete and train here. Frankly, I was one of those kids who was always last picked for the team in PE. I've always sucked at sports and exercise, though I've gotten so much better training with Jason and now Danielle. But you can come in here as an adult who was a kid who sucked at PE and sports in general and train well, tone your body, and lose the fat. You can also come in here as a great athlete and learn to kick even more ass. I train with people who inspire me every day--as I'm grunting and groaning through workouts and trying not to curse too much, I see others powering through and just kicking ass; and that's not in an intimidating way, but in a way that's motivating and makes me want to kick ass too. -The facility is great! It's slick and stocked with good weights, kettle bells, self-propelled treadmills (which take a run or two to get used to, but now I prefer them to the treadmills that do the running for you--plus, the self-propelled ones seem safer), assault bikes (with which you'll have a love-hate relationship), monkey bars, these cool ever-so-slightly squishy boxes of varying sizes for box jumps, medicine balls (I can't remember if there's a modern term for those things), pull up bars, and other stuff I'm probably forgetting. OH--heart rate monitors! You can buy a relatively inexpensive heart rate monitor and watch your heart rate on the TV monitors. This is really cool, and when you feel like you're at your limit and dying it's nice to look up and verify that, yes, I'm at 93% of my max heart rate right now and not just insane. -You'll see results. This isn't like a big box gym where you kind of just go through the motions, don't really get out of breath, and wonder why you're not getting any better at training, losing any weight, or whatever you goal may be. You work out to exhaustion--and that makes you get consistently better. After training here I have more energy during the day and hell, I'm usually in a better mood and can handle more of whatever junk the day throws my way. -If you show up a little early there's time to stretch and foam roll before the session, and there's a cool-down period built in. Even if you're not early, there's stretching and prep before the session starts, and a short run and bike to get your heart rate up. I love this because at the last gym where I trained, there was none of that--and I always felt like I was gonna injure myself just showing up, not stretching at all, and launching into some insane workout. -Finally, the price! The prices are totally reasonable, especially for small class sizes. GO!!
