Dr. Stu is one of the most personable, experienced and knowledgable chiropractors and athletic…read moretrainers I know. As my chiropractor, he keeps me well-informed about the treatment he gives me, taking the time to answer all my questions. I have always felt great as a result of his adjustments. I personally know other patients that Dr. Stu has helped recover from serious injury: My father, who had lost most of his shoulders range of motion due to a pinched nerve, was able to recover to normal function after receiving treatment from Dr. Stu and following his physical therapy regiment. I was really impressed with Dr. Stu's new training facility at Paradigm. It is spacious, clean, and well-equipped for athletic training. Most of all, Paradigm designed to meet a wide-range of personal fitness and performance training needs. My favorite feature of the facility is the synthetic grass field--perfect for sprints, cross-training and simulating field-sport athletics (eg. soccer, football). I highly recommend Dr. Stu for anyone who is looking to enhance their fitness or athletic performance, rehab sports injury, or lose weight & feel great.

Burke Fitness, formerly Fitness Masters at this location is great studio for private work out…read moresessions. I am a novice and I found the idea of gym trainers or even going to the gym intimidating. The studio has all the equipment needed to get in shape. I work with Sarah. The sessions are reasonably priced (another intimating part about working with a gym) and she provides diet plans and looks out for my overall health. I have a couple of metabolic issues and thought I'd be a difficult client to work with, but Sarah was already knowledgeable about what my disorders entailed and has catered to me like no other trainer would. I've never repeated a routine and she has hit muscle groups I never knew existed. I set a 3 month goal, but Sarah helped me accomplish it in 2; I now have new goals and wouldn't train anywhere else.

I went to Fitness Masters in search of a new routine and 9 months later I would've never imagined…read morethe results I've gotten. Bob is a motivator and tells you what needs to be done even when you're not at his gym to get the results you want. He is honest, knowledgeable and an educator. He also inspires you to give it your all and leads by example. During your workout, he is attentive and engaged during every set. My goal did not include major weight loss but I've since lost 15 lbs, toned up my body, increased my self confidence and cleaned up my atrocious eating habits. This is all thanks to Bob and his professional business.

Absolutely terrible experience at the Planet Fitness on Randall -- easily one of the worst gyms…read moreI've ever stepped foot in. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place is poorly managed. The staff couldn't care less about anything. Half the time they're just standing around, on their phones, or talking to each other while members are left waiting or dealing with issues on their own. If you actually need help, good luck -- you'll either get ignored or get a lazy, half-effort response like they don't want to be there. The cleanliness is a complete joke. Machines are constantly sweaty, trash cans are overflowing, and it feels like nobody ever wipes anything down unless a member does it themselves. The locker rooms are even worse -- dirty floors, bad smells, and clearly not maintained regularly. For a gym that preaches a "judgement-free zone," they sure don't care about basic hygiene. Equipment is another huge problem. Machines are constantly broken or out of order, and it takes forever for anything to get fixed. Even when stuff is working, there's never enough of it. You end up waiting way too long for basic machines because the layout is cramped and poorly thought out. It feels overcrowded no matter what time you go. The environment is just bad overall. It's loud, chaotic, and not in a motivating way -- more like a disorganized mess. People don't rerack weights, nobody enforces any rules, and the staff just lets everything slide. It honestly feels more like a hangout spot than a gym. Customer service is easily the worst part. They make it difficult for no reason when it comes to memberships, cancellations, or even simple questions. It feels like they're trying to trap you rather than actually help you. No communication, no professionalism, no respect for members. For the price, you'd expect at least the bare minimum -- clean equipment, working machines, and staff that actually does their job. This place fails on every level. There are way better gyms in the area that actually care about their members and maintain their facilities. Save your time, money, and frustration -- avoid this Planet Fitness at all costs.

I loved him so much that my whole family now trains with him. You can tell he really knows his stuff and works really hard to help you hit your goals.

If you are thinking of calling David, I encourage you to take that first step. My son-in-law tells…read moreme "whoever you are working with, they are making a difference"...."a year ago, you would never have tried any of the things you're doing now". It wasn't the weight that bothered me. It was my inability to do various activities with my family. I choose to sign up for his 42 day program and lost 23 pounds. I kept working with David and lost another 29 pounds. The weight loss has been great; however, more important to me is how my life has changed. I'm off my blood pressure medication, I have signed up for a 5K, and can take my grandson on a 10 mile bike ride. My health and quality of life has significantly improved. I've never been hungry or felt any of the training was beyond my abilities. I have learned what it looks like to eat right and take care of myself. The small class size allows us to support one another. David made minor modifications to the exercises so I could build strength and accommodate the osteoarthritis in my knee. David has treated me with respect, demonstrated discretion, and worked with me to achieve what I felt was important. If you are looking for someone to work alongside you, to help you achieve what is important to you, David at EmpowerU fitness is absolutely the way to go!
