The facility as a whole is very well-kept/clean, the equipment is nice, and I appreciate how the gym feels so open/bright with the use of space and natural lighting. They also have a little 'Snack Station' for members/visitors that has rice krispy treats, fruit snacks, etc. which is so sweet and thoughtful. Aside from the gym itself, the people here are amazing. Everyone at 5W Strength Club is very welcoming and are always willing to give you a spot. The owner Weilin Wu is an absolute gem and it's truly inspiring to see how passionate and dedicated he is for the members and the powerlifting community. If you are ever in the area and need a solid powerlifting gym to train at, 5W Strength Club is the place to be!

I am able to schedule a personal training session any day/time of the week that is convenient for me, so if I want to do before work / after work / during lunch if I'm WFH, all of those options are possible, and all I have to do is go downstairs in my apartment building. 2) Ongoing Coaching - not only can you get the support of GymGuyz during the actual PT sessions, but also outside of the sessions you can opt for nutrition coaching as well as planning out ancillary workouts to do during off days. I'm not able to have a trainer come everyday for financial reasons, but Viraj will make sure we have an ongoing dialogue of how I can fit spinning, yoga, barre, pilates, etc. into my workout regimen, and make sure that my PT sessions line up with my ancillary workouts. 3) Motivational Relationship - honestly, Viraj is one of the nicest guys I have ever worked with. He is always my biggest champion and cheerleader as I have slowly started to see results, and is incredibly understanding of busy schedules/social obligations. That said, he's also not afraid to be respectfully stern if I have periods when I am slacking with workouts/nutrition, which I definitely need to stay motivated and on track. Overall, in the past year I have seen a huge change in my habits, body, and have gone from someone who is pretty sedentary to someone who is able to stay regularly active for the right reasons. Highly recommend GymGuyz and Viraj!

I was never a big gym guy because I always was afraid I would do something wrong to hurt myself or…read morelook like an idiot around the gym bros. So when I finally decided to get into better shape, I looked into a personal trainer to help me become familiar with lifting weights and standard gym equipment. With my work and personal life schedule, I wanted to find a trainer that could come to me just to make it easier and keep me committed. That's where GYMGUYZ came in. Here's how they work: We had an initial call for them to understand my goals and for me to understand the process. Viraj made it really clear that it wasn't just about the workouts but also the nutrition plan. During the first in-person, Viraj ran me through a biometric screening and physical fitness test to get a baseline for how out shape I was. In addition to the in-person training, you get access to an app that has on-demand workout videos and the ability to track your workouts. To help me achieve my goal I opted into the nutrition coaching. I track everything I am eating and drinking and my coaches provide feedback on healthier options and ways to improve my nutrition. We found that macro tracking targets work best for my lifestyle. All sessions are designed around you and the space you have available to work out in. I have a gym in my building so we try to leverage that as much as possible. GYMGUYZ will bring in additional equipment based on the workouts. Trainer/Coach Feedback: Viraj has helped me become more comfortable with using free weights and weight machines in the gym. John has been helping with my functional posture via stretching and body-weight based exercises. When I started working out I dreaded each session but now I look forward to the early morning workouts to start my day the right way. I would recommend GYMGUYZ to anyone that is looking to make positive change

I purchased a personal training package in early February but due to weather, it was delayed. I had been in a car accident very end of January and by the time the weather cleared was having lots of pain and went to get checked out. Turns out I was badly injured and was ordered by the chiropractor not to be in the gym and would undergo treatment and therapy at least 18 sessions and I am still in enormous pain. I asked for a refund and Javid agreed but 6 weeks and 3 requests later, still no refund of my $337.50. Called an attorney and he told the attorney several sob stories but said since he's a man of his word he'd give my money which he has not. Two additional requests and a call from my attorney, still no refund. It is now mid-May and still doesn't have my money. Finally, I checked BBB which I should've done first and he's done this same thing before and took $550 from a woman. Not only is he a thief but it appears he's also taking advantage of women. He has even gone as far as threatening to contact an attorney yet states he is trying to rebuild his business due to covid and doesn't have my money as yet. I'm sure an attorney is going to cost him far more than my measly $337.50 he is verbally agreeing to return but have yet to deliver and we are basically at June.
