They have a Tacx Neo bike that syncs with Apple TV so I can see my Zwift workout. Owner Jean Paul is incredibly flexible -- will bend over backwards to ensure that I can get into the studio when I need it, always very responsive, and an all-around super knowledgable guy about cycling and triathlons. Justin, the cycling coach, has also been incredibly helpful in getting me set up with everything I need each visit. The facility is beautiful, the equipment is in great shape, and they even have showers (which came in handy the day our plumber shut off our water for several hours after my ride!). These guys are super welcoming and make everything so easy. Give Simba the Airedale some pats when you come. Highly recommend. (And people participating in classes and personal training sessions seem like they're really enjoying them).

This truly says something about a service company, as PTP has a large number of repeat clients.

Trial class scared the child as there were no accommodations to welcome or educate on the routine. Fear developed quickly so a second attempt a week later was scheduled in hopes it was an anomaly but it wasn't. Things went from bad to worse. Office staff wanted to charge us as a second trial visit which was fine but they were ignoring the trauma in development and the submitted paperwork of enrollment (showing clear commitment but reticent due to 3 yr old reaction. We got through that, then there was the inflexibly and insensitive approach yet again as our daughter walked into the gym space. Less than 5 minutes and tears were like a river!!! We tried to dork out an option to arrive 15 minutes early in hopes to get a "show and tell" of the environment but the front desk were so closed minded even that wasn't an option.

"Michelin" 5 Star Physical Training…read more FitClubCT.Com is the best physical training team that I have ever experienced and is right here in Fairfield, CT. Throughout my 74 years I have worked extensively with trainers, and am absolutely thrilled to have found Raleigh Taylor, the owner of FitClubCT.Com and his team of true pros. Every one of the members of Raleigh's staff are deeply caring, warm and remarkably state of the art. The theme, in addition of course to addressing individual desires, is very focused on functional fitness, employing a wide variety of methodologies. The facility itself is large, bright, immaculate, incredibly well equipped, and projects a very "happy" environment (which indeed it is) for accomplishing serious work. There are machines of every type; private rooms where desired, and of course access to spotless restrooms. Raleigh has built a unique staff ranging from the very best biomechanical trainer/assessor, to a physical therapist who has worked with professional sports teams. In addition to private sessions, there of course is a full class schedule. Incidentally, Raleigh does lots of work with youth athletes and is so dedicated to "his kids" that weekends will often find him travelling sometimes quite a distance to their sporting events. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Raleigh and his team and to be able to recommend FitClubCT.Com with a full five stars. Indeed, this is the Michelin of training.

Love, love, love Bar Method Fairfield. Prior to taking classes here, my only other experience was…read morewith the Physique 57 videos. They're great, but I was really concerned about my technique and doing the exercises correctly. I was thrilled to hear that BM had opened in Fairfield. The studio is bright, lovely, and clean. Staff are positive and always remember clients' names. (I'm terrible with names, so this is really impressive.) All of the instructors are excellent too! They're very knowledgeable and focused on their students having correct technique. If you're thinking about trying a barre workout, definitely check out Bar Method. It is VERY challenging and you'll feel AMAZING afterwards. The only drawback (for me) is that the studio is about 30 minutes away from where I live. However, the workout is so awesome that it's worth the drive.

First, the disclaimer. This is not a review of the studio as it is not open yet. However, Bar…read moreMethod Fairfield offered preview/community classes this summer and I took about 8 of them. I've been active my whole life, although less so for the last 4 years. Bar Method is an entirely different approach to exercise than anything I've done before. The focus on Bar Method is on small (tiny, even) isometric movements. By the way, "isometric" means "same length" and an isometric movement is one that engages your muscle without contracting it. For more information, the Bar Method founders blog is a great source: http://blog.barmethod.com. It was developed by a dancer and with the help of a physical therapist. I actually recognize a lot of the movements from when I did physical therapy for my back almost 15 years ago. Bar Method is completely different than any other workout I have ever done. It took me about 3 classes to adjust to the new positions and the flow of class, and for the first two classes I questioned whether I was getting a good workout. However, the day after class as soon as I got out of bed I could very clearly tell that I had. I wasn't really sore the way I am after lifting weights or running or anything else. Instead, I was a little bit achey everywhere we had worked. I could FEEL that my muscles had been worked. Over the last 5 weeks, I've noticed some changes that I really attribute to Bar Method. My arms are more defined, the shape of my legs is changing. I'm also sleeping better than I have in a long time. If you, like me, walk out of your first and second classes thinking "Eh, I'm not sure" I'd really encourage you to go back a few more times just to make sure you're not missing out on something that you really will click with if you give it more time. Through classes this summer, I had the chance to meet some of the Bar Method teachers. Bridget is the owner and has been teaching for a while. She clearly knows what she's doing in class, and has authority in her voice that makes you not want to quit even when whatever she has you doing is really tough. Stephanie is one of the other teachers and she is very encouraging. There's at least one more teacher who is still in training

Leeanna worked wonders with all three, adjusting her style perfectly for each kid. Within a few weeks of lessons one of my four year olds was swimming the entire length of the pool and the other went from being frightened of putting his head in the water after a previous bad swimming school experience to enthusiastically dunking himself and learning to swim underwater. My 7 year old was able to swim before Leeanna's lessons but Leeanna worked with her on different strokes and by the end of the summer she was swimming freestyle, back stroke, breast stroke and butterfly. Leeanna has such a great demeanor with kids and by the end of our summer with her my kids absolutely adored her and have declared they will never take lessons with anyone else. I only wish we were in the area for longer so we could continue lessons with her forever!
