As a marathon runner, I was specifically looking to build strength in my legs and improve my mobility to support my running--and she has been incredible at helping me do exactly that. What really sets her apart is how attentive she is to form. She makes sure every movement is done correctly so you're actually targeting the right muscles and not risking injury. I've learned so much about proper technique, and I can already feel the difference in my runs. She's knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly cares about your progress. I always look forward to our sessions--they're challenging but in the best way. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to get stronger, move better, and see real results!

She has a rare gift…read morefor meeting clients exactly where they are--whether you're just beginning your wellness journey or refining an established practice. She creates a supportive environment that encourages growth without ever pushing into strain. What sets her apart is her ability to help you recognize when and how to challenge yourself appropriately, while always listening to what your body needs. Each session feels deeply attuned, as she not only hears but responds to the signals your body is giving. The result is a balanced, empowering experience that leaves you stronger, more aware, and genuinely cared for. I can't recommend her highly enough.

My (now) husband and I were gearing up for our wedding with certain fitness goals. After doing some…read moreresearch, we connected with Andrea and have never looked back. We started off aligning on goals for BMI, strength, physique, nutrition (which I reached ahead of my wedding date thanks to Andrea!). Each training session was custom according to my and my husband's needs and mobility (per the FMS method). As we progressed Andrea tweaked the sessions accordingly, which kept workouts interesting and at the right level of difficulty. Andrea taught us tons about long-term health, nutrition and fitness that I am using in my day-to-day. Turning these habits into a new lifestyle has been the best takeaway from this experience. It was always a dream of mine to work with a personal trainer. And now I can confidently say that the sessions and results with Andrea are just as good as I imagined.

I've been working out with Andrea twice a week for the past eight months, and I can't recommend her…read morehighly enough! I came to her after doing a short stint in CrossFit, where I was struggling with hip pain and unable to keep up with the high volume of squats. My goal was to focus on strength training and building muscle. From day one, Andrea really listened and tailored our sessions to focus on building strength and muscle without aggravating my hip. Andrea is incredibly attentive to form, always making sure I'm moving safely and effectively which is a huge priority for me. I continue to progress in building up my strength and I feel stronger and more confident in my body than I have in years--I've lost body fat, gained muscle, and feel like I'm truly training with intention now. Andrea helped me with nutritional guidance, including dialing in my macros to make sure I'm fueling properly to support muscle growth. She also gives me home workouts so I can stay consistent and keep progressing even on days we're not training together. Andrea balances listening to what I want while also pushing me just the right amount. She is knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in her clients' success. I'm so glad I found her!

Still a nice gym though. Staff is helpful and friendly, parking is plenty.

They have some wild equipment there on an outdoor astroturf area like a wheeled and weighted pushcart for legs and lower-back and a giant monster-truck tire you could hit with a sledgehammer. In other parts of the country, those things would be considered a job and not something to do at the gym, but ok. One complaint I have is that they strangely had no abdominal machines but one small decline bench hidden under a stairway. I would give them more stars if they extended their free 7-Day Pass promotion to non-residents like me.

Several weeks later I got the bill and contacted them for payment and Brittney Lingenfelter, Program Director replied this: Good Morning Michael, Thank you for reaching out. Again, we hope Skylar is feeling better and recovering well. Please note that the YMCA does not carry participant medical liability insurance. If you have additional questions or need further clarification, we're happy to assist where we can. I wrote her back several times with question over the next several week and she has ignored every message with no reply.

Alexa and I met 2-3 times per week and had a different workout each time. She was really supportive and was right there with me doing my cardio intervals and keeping me motivated. I also liked that she set me up for the days I didn't see her by giving me a plan for my independent work outs. I dropped over 30# in the 4 months leading up to my wedding, and a good part of that was due to her nutritional counseling. On my wedding day I was slim and toned and happy. Alexa is really knowledgeble, she has her degree in this field, not just a certification. Can't recommend her enough!
