Nice professional staff. Clean facilities and nice locker room. All of the cardio equipment is brand new and top of the line. There is plenty of equipment and you almost never have to wait for equipment. Provides towels, water refill station (with filtered water), and has a nice sauna. Doesn't feel like one of those big cheap gyms like crunch or planet fitness. Mostly full of people who work in longwood, demographic is working professionals. No one videoing themselves doing a push up which is also refreshing. If you live or work in the area, I highly recommend Bodyscapes. Hard to find gyms with this level of service anymore. read more

Location is good but equipment is old and never updated such as the treadmills (TV's mostly don't work). Nice water machines but they took away the paper water cups (how cheap and unhealthy)! They do sell water in plastic bottles so not an environmental move. Place is sort of dirty. They also overcharge as the other reviews say as they say first month free but you are paying for the termination month in advance. read more

My local gym, serves its purpose though on the smaller side. Has 2 squat racks, 2 bench presses, but is never too full that there's a substantial wait for these or for any of the free weights. There are enough ellipticals, treadmills, bikes, that I've never had to wait. Staff are nice. Locker rooms are clean and the space is decently maintained. I haven't used the showers or the sauna so I can't speak to how well those work. The clientele generally is on the younger side and consists primarily of people who work in the longwood medical area. Overall, a pretty good option to stay fit. That said, a ton of the negative reviews seem to be about dishonest business practices in the setting of canceling memberships. I can't speak to this right now, but will be sure to update my review if that proves to be a challenge. read more

Avoid this place! Charge you after the membership termination! I canceled my membership last year, but they continue charging my credit card for 12 months. Talked to the manager. The manager was very rude and refuse a refund. He said they could not find my cancellation form and my membership was never cancelled. But the next day, when I asked the front desk to check my membership status, the front desk told me my membership was terminated last year. The manager still refuse to issue a refund. If you want to join this club, make sure cancel your credit card when you terminate your membership. read more

Pre pandemic, Longwood Bodyscapes was a great gym with super friendly and helpful employees. Post pandemic, this is no longer the case. My high school student who is 16 years old was a member of the Brookline Bodyscapes gym which closed in June. Today, I noticed a charge to my bank account for her membership at the closed Brookline gym so I contacted the Longwood gym. Jessica at the front desk was the least helpful person I have ever spoken to at Bodyscapes. She was combative and constantly talked over me and then refused to let me speak with the manager. Thus, I had to come in person to cancel my high school student's membership. I arrived at the desk and spoke to a 20 year male and explained what happened. I said I never received an email telling me that my daughter needed to cancel her membership. He replied your daughter got an email. I explained she is 16 years old - this is her first gym membership - she would thus not know what to do - I said I should have been notified as the parent of a minor. Also, the charge appeared on my card - not my daughter's. This male front desk staff person then said to me, "Your daughter is 16 - she should have known how to stop her membership - stop treating her like a 12 year old - she is 16 years old." Wow - parenting advice from the Bodyscapes staff! Following this, I asked to speak with the manager and talked to Mike. I explained the above scenario to Mike who did not seemed concerned at all and could have cared less about the parenting advice comment. In the end, he did help me cancel the membership. Run fast from this gym. If you want to be abused, then this is the gym for you! There are so many better options in the area. I love my Core Power Fenway membership - super friendly and upbeat staff as opposed to the miserable staff at Bodyscapes Longwood!!! read more

I have been a memeber of this facility before when it was fitcorp. I am not really one for gyms: I prefer running and dancing as my excercise, and I am well eduated in nutrition. However, the one thing this gym offers is the group classes and those are a great deal, specially if you can get a low membership rate thanks to your employer. The facility is very clean and I really like the lockers here: the have the large lockers available and you can put a your own lock that you then take away when you are done. The group class room is large and has beautiful windows to let natural light in. This is a nice facility. read more

They have dishonest business practices. I signed up in March on a 3 month plan and I was told explicitly by the person working the desk that it would cancel automatically--guess what? it didn't. I was charged for two extra months and then I confronted them about they refused to refund the money. They pointed to their cancellation policy which i signed when I began my membership (they make you sign a lot of documents) and basically said "too bad." I had planned on renewing next winter but I think I'll pass now. As for the gym itself, I would give it 3 stars. The showers are nice, the equipment is okay. Weird layout. They are always having classes in the middle of the hallway where everyone walks. I've had to navigate through fitness classes just to get a spin bike. read more

After a year of shelling out $20 a month for a lesser gym out in the suburbs and never going, I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade to a gym closer to work. Nestled on the first floor of the Harvard Institutes of Medicine, Bodyscapes is the premier gym in the Longwood Medical Area, and it came highly recommended by basically every one of my colleagues. I first joined when it was still Fitcorp, and was definitely skeptical when it changed ownership a few years ago, but my fears have proven to be completely unfounded. While it's true that you're paying partially for the location, it's worth it to have a clean, spacious and active gym within such close proximity if you work in the LMA. The Longwood class schedule is a good mix of yoga, cardio and strength. I am the type of girl who is intimidated by new experiences, and I've always found the teachers to be extremely friendly and helpful to newcomers. In particular, Andree's yoga and pilates classes are great; she strikes the perfect balance between accommodating your limitations and pushing you to explore your boundaries on the mat. If you're looking for intense cardio with a side of invigorating motivation, check out Bob's spin class -- the man has more energy than a chihuahua on speed, and I'm constantly struggling not to burst into hysterical laughter while pushing up the next hill. If strength is more your style, check out Gerry's Group Power class, which is similar to Body Pump -- but make sure to register early online, because the class fills up incredibly fast... it's THAT good! Equipment-wise, Bodyscapes has enough cardio machines and weights to accommodate their membership. Aside from the typical January rush, I've never had to wait for a machine. There is ample stretching space, as well as a good assembly of fitness equipment to help you get into shape. Amenity-wise, they do provide towels, and the locker room is generally kept pretty tidy. The showers can get a little hairy (literally, in some cases), but the staff is great about taking care of any situations if you let them know. The sauna is also a great way to wind down after a serious sweat session. Your membership also entitles you to visit the Coolidge Corner location, which is very convenient if you live on the Beacon Street side of town. Overall, if you're looking for a good gym that's convenient to the Longwood Medical Area and you can afford the membership fee, Bodyscapes Longwood is a solid investment. If you do decide to check it out, be sure to ask if they have a partnership with your institution -- several of the schools and hospitals in the area give a discount with your employee ID. read more

I go here about 3 times a week. I love the classes and the staff! Instructors are great! Close to work and with the employee discount, i'm getting a great deal. Classes I really enjoy are, zumba with Ana and Leoni, yoga with Tiffany and Andre, Ashtanga yoga with cycling with Christine. Muscle conditioning with Glenn gets you results but its a painful class but worth it. read more

It used to be Fitcorp, which I loved, and luckily for me, they kept the teachers and classes. The teachers are great. I especially like Group Power with Rania, and Spinning with Judylynn and with Leoni Facility is nice and clean. I'd like more Group Power classes in the afternoons. read more

I been a member of Bodyscapes for 5+ years. The staff at the front desk are alwaysfriendly curtious and sociable. The facility is always clean and the equipment is fully operational. Anytime I've seen an out of order sign, it is repaired in a timely manner. I work out on my own as well as with a trainer. The gym is very comfortable for me as an average guy working at keeping in shape, no intimidation. read more

The BosdyScapes Fitness Longwood campus is one of the worst staffed gyms I have been to. I would highly recommend not going to this gym because the administrative staff is so disorganized that the quality of customer service is far below optimal. The classes are OK if you want an unenthusiastic instructor, who walks around giving instruction, without actually doing the exercise him or herself. Instructors should be doing the exercises to give members an example to follow. The machines are okay, but there are not many options, and the weight area is usually over-crowded. The materials available, such as mats, medicine balls, and towels, are all gross and old. This is a very primitive gym for a relatively high price. In addition, my personal experience consisted of a BodyScapes manager calling me because she lost my cancellation request and claimed she had been charging my account for months, so be aware! read more

Be aware of cancellation policy! I cancelled my membership on June 5th, but still need to pay the membership fee until July 31st. They asked you to sign the contract at the beginning, but will not emphasize the cancellation policy. So be sure to cancel the membership early on. When they advertised to join for 1 dollar and pay nothing until the next month, it is not true! Just be aware of this if you plan to join the BodyScape. read more

I have come to this gym for years. My "usual" gym is the Longwood one, where you get a discount if you work for one of the hospitals or HMS. The cool thing is that you can also go to the other gyms in Cambridge and Brookline. The pros are the instructors: there are some really good ones! I recommend any class with Vuong, or Insanity with Charles or Samantha, or cycling with Sicong or Bob. The gyms are quite different for being owned by the same people! Cambridge is beautiful, spotless clean, the staff is super nice and everything is new. Brookline is a bit older but still clean and nice. Longwood...not so new, not so clean. The A/C doesn't work that well. The showers could be cleaner. The washer is broken half the time, so you can only take one towel, which means you can either use it for exercising (and you will sweat since the A/C is not-so-functional) or to shower. read more

OK facilities, but fundamentally dishonest service. Called to cancel my subscription during business hours, but was forwarded to voice mail and left a detailed message regarding my intent to cancel. The company failed to return my call, and continued to charge me. My credit card expired shortly thereafter, and I was threatened that the bill would be sent to a collection agency even after explaining that my account should have been cancelled. I provided proof of the call in the form of a screen shot. They still insisted on charging me two months cancellation, when the regular terms of service indicated I should have been charged one month. This is better than the original three months they wanted to charge me. I had very little recourse, because of their threats of sending the bill to a collection service. I was not going to have my credit ruined by a month's bill. However, I would recommend everyone avoids this gym and if the need to cancel that they get their cancellation in writing because they may need it. The honest thing would have been to honor the original cancellation date. I did not use the service after I cancelled, and thus they were out nothing. read more

Back in May 2013, I knew that I was leaving Boston, so I requested to cancel my membership. By July,I discovered my credit card was still being charged. Therefore, I immediately called to understand why. I spoke to Candy on the phone who said that 1) no cancellation form was submitted 2) Bodyscapes keeps a good record of these documents and does not lose cancellation forms 3) Unless I could provide a copy of the cancellation form, my cancellation is not effective and 4) the member ALWAYS receive a copy of the cancellation form. I vaguely remembered that I filled in the form but never received a copy. On Saturday, I personally went to speak to the receptionist to show me the form I filled out. The cancellation form seemed familiar to me. Because the form was not the kind with carbon copies, I am positive I never received a copy. Fortunately, he found my folder and the first document was the cancellation form. At that point, I asked him to make a copy for me. He promised me that my cancellation would be taken care of. Later, I emailed a staff to confirm the refund. Instead, Candy replied that the cancellation form was the one she filled out when I called her. Immediately, I went home to check my cancellation form, and, like I thought, I filled out the form on 5/31/13. If I hadn't remembered that I filled in the form AND personally requested a copy of the form subsequently, this issue would never be resolved appropriately. The way my cancellation was handled is unacceptable. While I understand that mistakes occur, the staff NEVER admitted her mistake until extensive prodding. During the call, she was adamant that a cancellation form was never submitted. Not only that, she TRIED TO COVER HER MISTAKE saying that the form was one she filled out. I was extremely frustrated as it seemed she never actually looked for my folder before making the claims she did. I felt my request to check on my cancellation was not taken seriously. While I understand everyone makes mistake, her integrity is questionable. While I have enjoyed the facilities at the gym, for the price I was paying at your gym, I should not have to undergo this many obstacles to cancel my membership. read more

Standard gym, decent, convenient if you work in longwood and many people can get a discount through their job. Clean, has showers and lockers and towels. Multiple concerning reviews about their billing practices, but aggressive/unfair billing seems standard in gym industry so you should always be careful. read more

Wow, I have NEVER been to a worse Spin class. I asked them directly which instructors played what music. I was ASSURED I was not going to be subjected to country music and to expect to have a great experience with Cori. WRONG! Not only was there no core work (no jumps, just crappy little sprints), she played crap country music. The worst part was she had NOTES. Really, you don't even know your OWN tracks? They need experienced people. Nobody should use notes to instruct a class, but to have notes for Spin, you need to give it up. NEVER AGAIN. read more

There is no other reason to join this gym unless you work in the Longwood area. If you get the employee discount, you're all set because it's a great deal for a clean gym with decent facilities. There's a good number of cardio machines. There's a good number of weights machines, free weights and squat racks. No complaints really. The gym is a good one, but not a boutique one, as reflected in the price. I have never had to wait to use a machine, but having said that, I avoid peak hours (pre-work and post-work hours). Even during those hours, it's not *that* packed, there will always be something free. Since the gym got bought up by Bodyscapes (formerly Fitcorp), many improvements for the better have been made. It's clean, spacious, not usually stinky, you get free towels, there's very basic el cheapo shampoo/conditioner/bodywash and body lotion in the locker rooms. The classes are ok to pretty good. This was where I started to attend group fitness classes, and since I'd never really experienced group classes before, I thought it was awesome! Until I started to attend boutique studios around the city... There are some not so great instructors (eg Thursday night spin class after Leoni stopped teaching that one), but there are also some gold instructors on the schedule. Eg. Bob for Tue/Fri am spin, Andree for yoga/pilates and her amazing spin/yoga class, Leoni because she's Leoni. I hear Gerry's group power is really great too (I've not done that one). The vibe of this place is amazing. Everyone there is some kind of health science related person (MD, PhD, nurses, or medical school related jobs). So everyone is actually super smart and geeky but working it and working out. No meatheads here! It's kind of funny/cool how you'll see super-star professors working out in their gym gear all sweaty and pain-faced. read more

If you work or live anywhere close to the Longwood Medical Area, BodyScapes Fitness is the gym for you. Located right in the middle of the Longwood Medical Area, BodyScapes has it all...great location (in the HMS NRB), great equipment (lots of cardio, free weights, kettlebells, etc...you want it, they've got it), great classes (my favs spin and core), amazing staff/trainers, and a nice/clean facility. Plus, the whole facility is about to get a huge makeover and with it, lots of new, top-of-the-line equipment! It doesn't get any better. BodyScapes is a gym for everyone, no matter your fitness level, age, or goals. Everyone who steps in the door is treated with respect and welcomed as a member of the family. It is definitely not a gym of posers or meatheads, but that's not to say that there aren't lots of serious gym rats....there certainly are, but it is not an intimidating atmosphere at all. It really says something when you often find several middle-age women on the weight floor right next to 20yr guys. General Manager, David Bergeron, sets very high goals for himself and for his staff, and their dedication and hard work is evident in what a great overall facility BodyScapes Fitness is. The entire staff is incredibly professional, yet approachable and personable, and they take such a personal vested interest in all members. It doesn't matter who you are, what you do at the gym, or how in shape you are (or aren't), everyone who comes in the door is welcomed sincerely. Usually within a few visits, they great you by name. This sort of atmosphere does wonders for making members feel like BodyScapes is a place they want to come to and be part of. In addition to running a top-notch facility, Dave is also a phenomenal personal trainer. With all the right credentials (degree in Exercise Physiology, two-time All-American in Track, etc), Dave is incredibly adept at using his knowledge of the human body and his motivational and interpersonal skills to help people achieve their fitness goals. Dave is superb at working with clients of all types. No matter if you are a recent grad hoping to shed those late-night pizza pounds, a wanna-be triathlete, a middle-aged professional who needs the motivation and a plan to "re-visit" your glory days, someone new to exercise, or a serious athlete yourself, Dave will help you reach (and exceed) your goals. Each session is well planned with your goals, abilities, and restrictions in mind. He is good about explaining each exercise and the results it will achieve, and is a stickler for form and not letting you do things halfway, which definitely helps improve results,. Dave really gets to know and understand you and as a result, he is able to push you beyond where you think your limits are, allowing you to achieve results you never dreamed you could and celebrates with you as you reach your goals. You don't work out with Dave if you want to be babied and spoon-fed a work out. You work out with Dave if you want to be pushed to your limits (and beyond) and want to get real results. I cannot recommend Dave or Bodyscapes Fitness more highly. Give them a try...you won't regret it. read more

I joined here about a year ago and I've been maybe about 10 times or so. I like it. I never have to wait for machines. The weights area is good too, plenty of equipment and not much waiting. Three things I don't like so much (and why I'm only giving 4 stars): 1) in the stretching area where I was lying down there once was a guy beside me jumping up and down and quickly lifting large weights over his head- definitely well over 10 lbs. I was terrified in case he dropped one on me. I think there should seriously be more strict rules about what you can do in that area. 2) I'm not crazy about the carpeting. It's a bit gross to have in the changing rooms (even though it always looks clean), and it also builds up static so I get little shocks off the machines- it's not too bad though. 3) I'd like to be able to change the units on the machines to km instead of miles. It seems possible when you look at it, but it's not that intuitive (to me at least!) The shower area is always clean and there are plenty of towels. Staff are really nice and efficient. I haven't done a class there yet but will soon! read more

Just some quick props. This place is great. My wife and I have been in for periodic visits with our son, who is undergoing testing/treatment at BCH. This place has been our only escape. I want to start with what has been the most important part - the staff up front has been very helpful. When I asked where I should go for a haircut, the woman (short/shaved on the sides) gave my a gift certificate for a local salon. I didn't have a lock - here you go. There is an African -American guy at the front desk, not sure if this is David Aldredge - his hair looks different on the site, but this guy should be the face of the franchise - he will make you feel like you have been a member for years. The group fitness is fantastic. David Bergeron and Brian Castelluci (who both seem to be "Southies" who yell the right amount and coach even more. If I lived nearby, I would have signed up for a full membership already. A wonderful, clean, well run facility. read more

I have been a member here for 5+ years, but it seems like things are going down hill. The trainers are good, and the equipment is adequate, but its feeling increasingly dirty, especially in the locker rooms. The shower tiles are grimy with huge wet hair balls stuck to the walls. Many of the dispensers for products are broken. There are two dispensers for hand sanitizer in the gym area and frequently they are empty. The class schedule is decent, but a couple of times this winter I attended a Saturday morning class and no instructor showed up. read more

Always check CAREFULLY with the attendant if you have the Brigham discount or not. I was not paid by the Brigham and they told me I would have the discount, despite being a research volunteer. However, they didn´t give the discount and I cancelled the membership after having to wait for 2 months read more

I have been to a number of gyms over the years, and find BodyScapes to be the best. Part of this is the environment that the staff fosters. The people who go there range in age from their 20's to 70's, from those starting to get in shape to the super fit. People are polite and supportive. There are a range of weights, weight machines and aerobic machines. I have never had to wait for anything. There are also a ton of classes. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They have been a huge help to me over the years in helping me reach my fitness goals, be it recovery from an injury to preparation for long distance bike rides and obstacle course races. The facility is light and airy, and is always kept fresh and clean. I highly recommend it! read more

Bodyscapes Longwood offers a wide variety of equipment (free weight as well as machines), friendly staff and highly skilled trainers. Definitely worth checking it out! read more

I joined BodyScapes at Longwood about a month ago and love it! I've never had to wait for any equipment, it's all functioning well, and the facilities are obviously well-maintained. The staff are all friendly and helpful. As another reviewer mentioned, the weight lifting area isn't at all intimidating, even when I've been the only woman there. But the best part has been my work out sessions with Cori, one of the personal trainers. Cori has put me through challenging work outs that kick my butt but always leave me with a huge sense of accomplishment ... in addition leaving me sore! Cori is positive, friendly and motivating, and has tweaked the workouts when I had specific requests, such as a workout I can do in a hotel room when traveling. I haven't tried any of the classes yet, but plan to soon. There's a good variety of classes that are offered outside of normal business hours-- and also quite a few that are during the day. All in all, I'm very happy with BodyScapes. read more

I also had difficulties cancelling my membership. I ended up paying for an extra 3 months of gym time that I was not using the gym. BUYER BEWARE!!! Customer service is terrible with regard to attempting to deal with this! The classes are not at accessible times and are highly variable. Instructors do not always show up on time and sometimes classes get cancelled because not enough folks show up to participate. The showers are sometimes quite slimy-- bring flip flops! read more

I joined this gym while I was a resident at one of the local hospitals. I signed a one-year contract. Gym was great, let me use chalk for heavy lifts and all that. The towels are warm, water is always cold and the recent renovations were still in progress when I left but by now should be finished. Great hours too for residents who work odd/crazy shifts at the hospital. Staff is also very helpful in resolving member issues; Candace is kind of hard to get a hold of but courteous and helpful as well. I recommend this gym to other residents; just remember to submit your cancellation form when you leave for fellowship! read more

Be prepared for a public humiliation: I had a really distasteful experience with a staff at the reception desk. I have been going to this gym for over three months. I work in Longwood area and I had been coming in pretty regularly. The gym collected all my info such as my Harvard ID, e-mail address, phone number and credit card information when I registered. I used the gym as a legitimate member. On one unexpected day, a staff in the reception desk stopped me from entering a gym class. She said she cannot let me in because I have not been paying for 3 month. I was with a colleague who was planning to take the class with me. I asked if I can deal with the problem after the class is finished. She insisted I cannot enter - she demanded I solve her problem right when she wants to. Moreover, the receptionist said to me that I should have checked my credit card statement to avoid this. I've never had such a ridiculous purchase experience in the past. Do people collect all their receipt and review with the credit card statement? Is it even a customer's duty to do so? I gave them a valid credit card and I have no idea if they made mistake in entering information or not. And it has been three freaking month and they could have contacted me at anytime with any means. If you are to attend this gym, you'll have to check if they are taking your money out or not - otherwise, you might get this on a sudden day. read more

BodyScapes is a great gym in the city, and super convenient for anyone working in the Longwood Medical Area. Staff is super friendly and trainers are excellent at providing clients with workout plans that help them reach new fitness goals! I've been coming here for 5 years, and the equipment is new, the gym has a clean feel to it, and the camaraderie among members is palpable. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in taking their fitness to the next level in 2017! read more

As people have mentioned below this gym makes no exceptions on their policies to accommodate their members. I am leaving the city on the 20th of February but since I cancelled on the 4th of February I will have to pay until the end of March. Because that is just "their policy" and it is most important to follow those. No exceptions, no support, no accommodating the client. This totally ruined my experience of this gym which was otherwise okay. Here is a little tip for those running this place: Take better care of your members and they will have a better experience and spread the goodwill. Even if it means looking past your policies every once in a while it will be profitable for you on the long run. I am clearly not the only one who has had this experience and I will not be recommending again to anyone to go to this place. It takes a long time to build trust and just a moment to ruin it. If you are looking for a gym, take my advice and go somewhere else where people actually value their members and not just their "policies" and money. read more

Small but clean gym, I prefer their Brookline location.

Personal Trainer Anthony Lawrence is the best! I have been going to him for a few months; he is so motivating and has really helped me not only with getting into shape and becoming so much stronger but also with my nutrition. He is extremely knowledgable and I would recommend anyone that is looking for a trainer to go see Anthony. You will definitely see results! read more

I joined BodyScapes (Longwood) in July of 2016. Shortly after, I started working with personal trainer Anthony Lawrence. I had just come back from an injury that side-lined me for 3 months. Anthony sat with me for our first session, heard my story and prior workout regimen, and came up with a plan to get me back to running long distances again (injury-free). I trained with Anthony for about 3 months and never had a single regret. He taught me so much about proper strength training (all I did before was run) and proper eating habits. In November 2016, I ran a PR half-marathon (1 hr 57 min). I never thought I'd ever break the 2 hour mark, but I did and all thanks to Anthony for tailoring a workout regimen that targeted my weak spots. I'm forever grateful for his coaching. He's also super funny and straight forward! I'm planning on training with him again soon after the Boston Marathon. read more

This gym isn't terrible, but the value (if you are not a Harvard student/employee with a 50% discount) is dismal. I would never belong to it if I did not work in the same building. The equipment is fine, but the Purell dispensers, wipe dispensers, and towel stations are very often empty, so you have to walk 75% of the way across the gym to get something. You just don't get what you pay for here, not even close. read more

My husband and I stopped in the Longwood BodyScapes yesterday with the intent of signing up for a membership, having already researched gyms in the Longwood areas online. Unfortunately, the staff were extremely rude, disrespectful, and dismissive of us; one staff member gave us a 30 second tour (standing at the front desk she pointed to various directions for classes, weights, and cardio machines) and the other staff member treated us like we should not have been there in the first place. Despite this gym being in an ideal location and having a great mix of classes, my husband and I decided not to join due to the terrible treatment we received. Bottom line: looks great from the website, but interacting with the staff is a nightmare. If you are considering joining a gym, don't even bother visiting this one. read more

Thanks to one of the general managers Ashley, they were able to locate my original cancellation form, which had never been processed, and agreed to refund me. I am very grateful that Ashley took the time to locate the form, but the entire experience was frustrating and stressful. read more

I joined BodyScapes at the beginning of 2017 hoping to get in shape for my upcoming wedding at the end of March. I began training with Anthony Lawrence two to three times per week and, with the wedding only one short week away, can honestly say how thrilled I am with my results. He is clearly experienced and committed, ensuring each workout was challenging but achievable (and even fun) and continuing to motivate me to push harder week after week to see improvements. My fitness has noticeably increased, especially my core strength and general ability to lift/push/pull progressively heavier weights each session. I attribute this improvement to Anthony's carefully planned workouts, instruction, encouragement, and refusal to let me give up (despite my many complaints). What I appreciate most about Anthony has been his careful eye on my technique, making sure I properly perform each workout to avoid any injuries. He is also extremely reliable and punctual, prepared in advance of each session so as to maximize our time together, easy to talk to and fun to be around. If you're in need of a trainer, I highly recommend Anthony Lawrence to reach your fitness goals and to get you back to enjoying your workouts again. read more
