As someone who also battles with anxiety and who is planning on children in the near future, I wanted to ensure my physical health, as well as my mental health was in some sort of unity, and Rachel picked up on that instantly during our initial consultation. I felt extremely comfortable telling her even my most personal secrets, and I'm very happy I did, because she puts together an incredible and personalized fitness package which included (for me) fitness, meditation and yoga. I love the balance, and immediately felt a positive change in my body and overall quality of life. I love how each session is different, and builds from the last. I truly look forward to the next session. Thank you Rachel!!

Positivity. Strength. Integrity. Commitment…read more Four words that perfectly describe the Underground Strength Gym. I've been training consistently with Zach Even-Esh and his trainers (aka coaches) at the Underground for the past 7 years and I have transformed not only my physique but also my life. I went from not being able to do one pull up to cranking out 10 or more with ease and deadlifting over 300 lbs and gaining immense confidence in myself leading to greater opportunities outside of the gym. Zach Even-Esh is the current head Strength & Conditioning coach of Rutger's Wrestling team, has authored his own book "The Encyclopedia of Underground Strength and Conditioning," and has run the Underground since 2008 and has had his training methods heralded by many including author Tim Ferris. He is the real friggin deal. The USG has a one-of-a-kind team that not only gets you in shape but they help you get the proper form/technique, mindset, and support needed to enjoy lasting results. I've never been to a gym where the trainers cared so much for everyone that steps foot in the gym. There is always a coach on hand for each session making sure everyone is performing to their level and ensuring each person is also executing workouts with proper form to avoid injury. USG is the first gym I've been to that promotes a positive, fun atmosphere. I've never felt more welcome at a gym than this one. While it is easy to get intimated and disheartened at a franchise gym it's not uncommon for coaches and attendees of the Underground to get along and grow mutual respect for each other. Unlike most gyms USG only has sessions with an assigned coach. Sessions last an hour though you are welcome to stay extra to continue working out if you'd like. Regardless of if you've never been to a gym or you're an athlete actively competing Zach or one of his coaches will work with you to ensure the workout of the day is tailored to your level of experience. From my own experience I went from having limited gym experience with hardly any strength to doing what everyone else in class was doing in about 3 months. In that time frame I was able to do my first pull up. I initially went once a week now I go 3 or more times depending on my schedule. Attendees range from high schoolers to adults either competing in sports or looking to stay active and improve themselves. People of all ages and genders work out together in sessions according to their level and age range. It's not uncommon to see the high school kids working just as hard as the adults or even harder. It's truly remarkable. Be advised this gym is not for the faint of heart or casual gym goers. If you are not totally committed to your training and goals you might be better off at a franchise gym. It's not uncommon for the less devoted to leave as quick as they came. The work is hard but with commitment results come fast and you'll be amazed at what you can do. With the positivity and support Zach & his team offer it's no surprise to hear of the local and state champions the USG produces. Some attendees have gone on to significant achievements not only in sports but also their personal lives. Additionally they have charity lifting competitions for all ages and experience levels that help local charities. No need to be a powerlifter to compete. It's probably the most fun you will have at any charity event. If you're looking to make a change you better get Zach on the horn ASAP!

The reason why is because they know variations of machines and weights. Being as I am familiar with weights and been in the gym for 10+ years with trainers I was looking for something unique. Chris has the ability to adapt it to the functionality of my schedule, write me up programs when I am traveling in a hotel, work with me on dietary needs and overall really care about my progress. He is invested in me as much as I am. He was by far my favorite trainer I've ever worked with and his personality is fantastic. He's a big goof in the gym and likes to have fun while pushing you to your extreme limits. I highly recommend Chris and miss training with him every day as I have moved halfway across the country.

I had 6 months before I…read morewas due for pre-season to begin my freshman year of playing college soccer and I had a lot of work ahead of me. I contacted Chris for personal training at Pure Focus to help me reach my pre-op strength, but not only that, but to help me strengthen my body as a whole. When I first came to Chris my squats were uneven, I had weak calf muscles and glutes, and my quads were weak because of my previous surgery. I also needed to work on my upper body, because as a soccer player I was all legs. Chris was great with working with me, because at first I had limitations because of my knee, but he worked around it and found the best program for me. I got cleared at five months post op to play soccer again, and I attribute that to working with Chris. I worked with him twice a week and every time I went I got better and better. Before I knew it I would look in the mirror and see and even squat, or bench more weight then I thought was possible. After I got cleared I still work with Chris twice a week weight training and also started one day a week for conditioning. Recently, I took fifth place in my nationalaly ranked USAPL powerlifting completion. I squatted 365 lbs, benched 155 lbs and deadlifted 408 lbs! Without Chris my recovery would have never been as successful and quick as it was. Not only does Chris know his way around a gym, he is also an amazing person and truly gives his all when working with a client.

Friendly staff that processed my guest paperwork efficiently, machines were kept well maintained, and I went in during off hours so I didn't really have to wait around for machines. They have a wide array of cardio machines, so I was able to knock out my hour cardio on the treadmill too. Facilities were fairly clean and plenty of parking. The only complaint would be their snacks and drinks that are a bit over priced, I'd bring my own protein/snacks for pre or post workout. Overall a decent gym that got my session needs without any issue. Will continue to be back here as my gym of choice whenever I'm back in town.
