It was a tough pill to swallow as a former college athlete and I was not ready to hang them up just yet! My initial reservations were due to the fact that I was afraid I would not be able to do the things I used to be able to do. Mike's progression through his individualized training have me back in a healthy place and allow me to compete again on the lacrosse field. He started me off at a pace that was right for me and progressed the intensity and exercises to build my confidence and overall health back to where it should be. Aside from athletics, I feel much healthier, have more energy during the day and have reduced stress. Give AST a shot, you won't regret it!

I started at BPT because I found a Groupon and needed to jump start my post- baby body. Never did I think I would continue this journey but it's been a great fit for me.

One other sad note I might add is that the men's bathroom is filthy.

I began working out with Rachel two years ago when I decided to get back in shape. Since then I…read morehave lost 28 pounds, and have gained a lot of muscle. Rachel built a workout routine for me especially for tennis. With that we worked on cardio, (aerobic and anaerobic fitness), along with footwork, legs, core and upper body strength.

For over 10 years, I have been slowly recovering from an upper back/shoulder injury. During this…read moretime, I have seen multiple physical therapists, muscular therapists, and personal trainers. They have helped me to manage pain, build muscle and get me to a safe place of doing activities of daily living (ADLs) without re-injury. ADL's like throwing a ball for my dog, holding a blower dryer to dry my hair, reaching for a hanger, and reaching for a food item in my kitchen cupboard. I always had to be very self-conscious when reaching or holding my hand above my head as the slightest movement could cause one of my ribs in my upper back to dislocate. I used to be a runner and competed in races. I had to stop because my upper body wasn't strong enough to support my running form. My shoulder would fatigue quickly and I would reinjure myself. Working with Rachel during these past couple of months have been transformative for me. She is the first trainer to push me beyond my safe limits, help me increase my confidence, get me to feel stronger, and convince me that I can be stronger. I used to see physical activity as a chore to deal with pain management and get through the day safely. I now see physical activity as a way of living to be stronger. I can see myself on my way of becoming an athlete again. The self-conscious part of me still exists when I think about reaching my hand above my head but I'm not as fearful as I was. This is huge considering I'm 43 years old. I thought at my age it was not possible for me to gain my athletic life back and I'm on my way of doing so.

So... the "new" owner called me and told me he bought the place in 2018 and my experience is from…read more2017 and he's looking to get negative reviews removed and offered me a couple of free months to check out the space and update my review. Based on that call, I would have expected a low overall rating for the club but when I logged in I see it's going well at 4 stars overall. I personally find it a little invasive that he sorted through every client named Dawn and compared the gym photos to mine here to find and call me, but, here's a note to confirm that my experiences did, in fact, occur in 2017. Also, just for everyone who might be reading this, here is what Yelp has to say about offering things in exchange for reviews or asking people to write them: https://www.yelp-support.com/article/Don-t-Ask-for-Reviews?l=en_US Offering something to make up for a poor experience is great customer service, when it's not conditional. Also note when you however over the Yelp stars it literally tells you what each rating means. 5 stars is "Great." 4 stars is "Good." Three stars is "OK." Two stars is "Could have been better" and one star is "Not good." And, my experience, up and until today, could have been better. That said, there are plenty of excellent reviews here for you to read, so, you know, check them out if you're looking for a gym and make your own decisions.
