Positivity. Strength. Integrity. Commitment…read more Four words that perfectly describe the Underground Strength Gym. I've been training consistently with Zach Even-Esh and his trainers (normally called coaches) at all of the USG locations for the past 7 years and I have transformed not only my physique but also my life. I went from not being able to do one pull up to cranking out 10 or more with ease and deadlifting over 300 lbs. Along with muscle I have gained immense confidence in myself leading to greater opportunities outside of the gym. Zach Even-Esh is the founder of the Underground as well as the current head Strength & Conditioning coach of Rutger's Wrestling team who has authored his own book "The Encyclopedia of Underground Strength and Conditioning," and has had his training methods heralded by many including author Tim Ferris. He is the real friggin deal. The USG has a one-of-a-kind team that not only gets you in shape but they help you get the proper form/technique, mindset, and support needed to enjoy lasting results. I've never been to a gym where the trainers cared so much for everyone that steps foot in the gym. There is always a coach on hand for each session making sure everyone is performing at their own level and executing workouts with proper form to avoid injury. USG is the first gym I've been to that promotes a positive, fun atmosphere. I've never felt more at home at a gym than this one. While it is easy to get intimated and disheartened at a franchise gym it's not uncommon for coaches and attendees of the Underground to get along and grow mutual respect for one another. Unlike most gyms USG only has sessions with an assigned coach. Sessions last an hour though you are welcome to stay extra to continue working out if you'd like. Regardless of if you've never been to a gym or you're an athlete actively competing Zach or one of his coaches will work with you to ensure the workout of the day is tailored to your experience level. Since going here I went from having limited gym experience with hardly any strength to doing what everyone else in class was doing in about 3 months. In that time frame I was able to do my first pull up. I initially went once a week and began going 3 or more times depending on my schedule. Attendees range from high schoolers to adults either competing in sports or looking to stay active and improve themselves. People of all ages and genders work out together in sessions according to their level and age range. It's not uncommon to see the high school kids working just as hard as the adults or even harder. It's truly remarkable. Be advised this gym is not for the faint of heart or casual gym goers. If you are not totally committed to your training and goals you might be better off at a franchise gym. It's not uncommon to see someone giving a half hearted attempt to leave during their first session. It's a fun place to be but you need serious commitment to stay here. With the positivity and support Zach & his team offer it's no surprise to hear of the local and state champions the USG produces. Some attendees have gone on to significant achievements not only in sports but also their personal lives. If you're looking to make a change you better get Zach on the horn ASAP!

I reached a plateau in what I could do and needed the guidance, accountability and motivation to get further in my fitness goals.

I posted a status on FB for recommendations on a great trainer and Donne kept coming. I decided to check him out, and I'm confident I made the right decision. I've only been going here for a short amount of time, but this place is great. Donne, the owner and trainer, owns the gym and really cares about his clients. He is all about the "results" as he says and you can tell he isn't lying. Many of his clients are very happy with him and you can tell they have made tremendous progress. I can't wait to get to my body goals with his help. Even better he has flexible hours to fit everyone's schedule.

I never lifted weights until I started working with Clint so I didn't realize how effective it is for transforming my body and burning calories. I've always been very nervous to go near the weights in the gym I belong to so I only focused on cardio, bodyweight exercises and abs, exercises I thought were easy to tackle without hurting myself. Yet I was always having knee pain... Clint pointed out that I have been doing squats and lunges wrong this whole time on my own. This is why I needed a trainer...doing things wrong was giving me limited results and injuries! Clint has taught me so much and I have gained so much confidence in my techniques. Having Clint as my Personal Trainer has made me feel so comfortable with weights and I'm even eager to lift heavier now(and lifting heavy weights has not made me bulky either)! Clint's training method consists of hard work but simple techniques which he will teach you to master. Clint is a stickler on form so he will make sure your form is perfect before bringing you to the next level. He will constantly remind you to breathe and reiterate how your body should be positioned. He will push you to finish your sets, but in an encouraging way. His way of instructing is stern but pleasant. He really cares that you fully understand an exercise so he will explain it 5 different ways if necessary until you understand it (which was the case with me). He is patient and provides good tips to help you remember what you are supposed to be doing. He brings great energy to the session that makes you enjoy working out with him. I am SO happy with my progress and thrilled that I found Clint as my Personal Trainer!
