I've been going to this Train with Dave location for a little over two months now, and I absolutely…read morelove it! I've mainly been working with Stefan, and he's a phenomenal trainer. I came into this experience with little to no weightlifting experience, and he's helped me build so much knowledge and confidence that I now feel comfortable applying what I learn on my own at the gym. I also had the chance to work with Gio briefly, and he was great as well. I highly recommend Train with Dave for any anyone looking to work with knowledgeable and supportive trainers!

I just got back into training again and was referred to Dominic and have been training with him for…read morethe past 7 months. He's knowledgeable, patient, and always makes sure my workouts are safe, especially considering my medical limitations and previous injuries. He corrects my form, knows when to push me, and when to hold back. Even on days when I'm not motivated, he stays positive and helps me get through the workout. He also checks in and sends reminders to help keep me on track with my diet. I highly recommend Dominic to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable trainer.

I wanted a place that would focus on the positives (increased strength, better mobility, etc.), and not hyper fixate on the scale alone. After trying several other locations, JR at New Life was the first one to really hear me in what I was looking for and modify his recommendations based on what I wanted and needed. He pushes me, but also hears me when I hit limits. It's a great balance and I'm getting stronger each week. Plus, he's available to help with nutrition recommendations as well. I feel very supported in my journey at New Life.

This is for anyone who's ever felt intimidated by lifting weights -- especially postpartum mamas or…read moremoms-to-be. I'd been eyeing this gym since March but was too shy and honestly a little nervous to pull the trigger. I'm so glad I finally did. When I say I've tried everything, I mean it: Weight Watchers, Herbalife, body wraps from "It Works," personal trainers (multiple times), 24 Hour Fitness, Gold's, Chuze, Orangetheory... you name it. I was also kickboxing 2-3 hours a day and dancing regularly -- but still wasn't gaining the strength or seeing the results I wanted. For years, people told me I needed to lift heavy weights. But even with gym memberships and trainers, I felt overwhelmed and lost. That changed when I finally booked a meeting with one of the owners, Richard. And let me tell you -- I felt seen. He listened to my goals, understood why my current routine wasn't working (kickboxing, OTF, and Gold's included), and laid out a clear plan tailored to me. My goals: * Build strength * Lift heavy * Prep for two showcases this year * Start training for competition Richard showed me how I was overtraining (too much cardio, not enough rest) and helped me refocus my time and energy. Now I'm working out less, with more intention -- and finally seeing results. So I signed up for the unlimited membership. And here we are -- nearly two months in, and I'm seeing progress I hadn't seen in years. Is it out of my comfort zone? Absolutely. But the community and instructors have made all the difference. The facility is gorgeous, clean, and right up my alley aesthetically. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly Here's a quick shout-out to the amazing instructors I've worked with so far: Art - He will challenge you. He will push you. No BS -- he knows what he's doing. He pays close attention to form and demands the best from you because he wants you to get that pump! His attention to detail and deep knowledge really shine. Richard - Super motivating with a strong presence. He gives great feedback on form and always knows how to push you. Don't be surprised if he adds weight or resistance when you least expect it -- he's not letting you coast. Dulce - I absolutely adore her classes. Her voice, teaching style, and overall vibe are perfect for someone like me -- shy and introverted. She's patient, checks in often, and really makes sure things click if you're struggling. Joseph - Humble, inspirational, and so patient -- even while sneakily adding more weight to push your limits. I really appreciate his calm energy and the way he adapts to different learning styles. Kaitlyn - Mighty and feisty! She's kind before class, but once it starts -- no mercy. She will absolutely make you work, and then some. Mark - Super encouraging and positive. He makes it easy to ask questions -- especially helpful for a newbie like me. He creates a safe space to learn and grow. If you're on the fence about trying this place -- let me just say, if I can do it, so can you. It's worth every drop of sweat. The intimidation fades fast once you meet the staff and community. Truly one of the best decisions I've made for myself.

I had worked out on and off for years and tried different programs, but working with Nate helped hone in the small nuances I needed to understand how your body really works. I think more importantly, Nate cares about your fitness journey and is personally invested to see you succeed. He keeps it fun and sustainable. I've learned getting in shape doesn't need to be difficult, just but just being consistent. When I came to Nate, I was suffering from a previous back injury, and since, I no longer have flare ups, and overall, my body is stronger. My friends notice and compliment the increased muscle and tone they see change in me. He changes up the workouts a bit every month to keep challenging and not boring. Nate is easy to work with but also great at pushing you and keeping you accountable.

Growing up I was always part of a sports team with at least one practice per day. As I got older I…read morewanted to continue being active and working out on my own but started to feel extremely bored with my workouts at home and in the gym. It decreased my motivation to start a workout and even when I did workout, I was finding it hard to push myself to get a satisfying workout. I reached out to Filipe for help in writing new workouts that I can do at home since my work schedule makes it difficult to make it to a gym on a regular basis. His workouts were nothing short of exceptional. He listened to my physical limitations, access to home equipment, and goals to create dynamic, high intensity workouts. These workouts not only pushed me to my limits but also left me feeling challenged and accomplished. Overall, I highly recommend Filipe as a personal trainer. If you are looking for someone who will challenge you, support you, and help you achieve your fitness and health goals, look no further. It was evident how dedicated Filipe is to seeing his clients succeed and work towards their best selves

I never worked out routinely before going to The Lab and I really didn't have a desire to work out. But with Filipe's amazing training, support and belief in me, working out and eating healthier food is a way of life for me now. I am in better shape than I have ever been. I still have my struggles but I always know that I am equipped to deal with them now and Filipe was a guide post to me getting here. Filipe's passion is like no other. He personally works with each client to understand their strengths and weaknesses and then tries to tailor a workout around those strengths and weaknesses. I hated running when I first began training with Filipe. Fast forward four years, I ran a half marathon with Filipe and another client. HE WILL help you reach your goals if you let him. The Lab has a new home location now but the feeling of comfort, support and determination is still the same.
