I will start my review in awareness of COVID-19. I kind of balked at the price on the website…read moreconsidering my past gym attendance includes CrossFit boxes paying just a bit more and getting physical correction and guidance from a trained professional. Being interested and wanting to try something new I found a Groupon for $44/month instead of the typical $117 for a monthly subscription. I went to class 20 minutes early the first time and the instructor fitted me to the bike. I worked up a sweat and enjoyed my time (provided I get a seat b/c that one was NOT comfortable) and looked forward to coming back the next day. Since then every class I even think about signing up for is cancelled. I used to leave the house after signing up earlier in the day, now I just wait for the class to be cancelled online, not even getting ready for class. When I asked the owner why he says he won't hold class for 3 people. Well if those 3 people purchased unlimited monthly subscriptions than he very well should. I understand the times but he shouldn't be selling classes he can't commit to.

I have been working out with Rob of RBF Fitness & Nutrition for about 8 months. First thing I will…read moresay is that it's like working out with family. One of my first workouts was a hike that I had no business being on, almost everyone on the hike helped me! One particular person stayed with me the whole time, and even though Rob was leading the hike he constantly checked on me. This has basically been my experience through out the 8 months. Rob works you out hard. There is no playing around when it comes to fitness and nutrition. He's hard on you because he believes and cares about you. He will modify the workouts to your fitness level, I know because I still worked out with him right after knee surgery. Just try it out I promise you will not regret it!

I came to her at my heaviest weight, unconfident and feeling the worst about my body. I knew I needed a change! Over the past year she has kicked my butt and whipped me into shape! She started off slow and kept building and building every week. Each week I was amazed at things I could do so much better than the week before. She pushes you through even when you want to give up because she sees the potential in someone and she won't give up on you! She has not only helped me lose 30lbs and change my body in so many ways but she has also given me so much self confidence and made me feel so strong. I never thought I would look at a progress photo and see what I see. I still have lots more work to do but I can't imagine doing it with anyone else. One last thing- if you are overweight like me starting a fitness journey can seem impossible and I understand that totally but anything you think that you CANT do, Karen will show you that you CAN. I never thought I could do what I do and I could've never done it on my own. Do not be intimidated and mislead at a big box gym, come see Karen! You will not regret it!

Like a lot of people we used to be super fit, but found ourselves entering the next phase of our lives looking for someone to get us back on track. She has been amazing. One of the things that really makes Karen stand out is the focus she has when you're in a session with her. She follows your moves closely and always ensures that you have proper positioning with the weights so that you get the most out of your workout and you don't injure yourself. She also is incredibly understanding and compassionate and is heart centered in all that she does. I could go on and on but the bottom line is if you're looking for a passionate fitness expert who loves people and walks the walk, contact Karen at Raise The Bar Personal Training. You will get in the best shape of your life and you will have fun doing it! Maria & Ken Ambrose

They aren't some greedy corporate business looking to take every penny from you. It's a family run business that look to provide the best services for you. When I was inquiring about a membership, they guy didn't try to sell me on it at all. He just went over what they offer and gave me everything I needed and told me that I could go home and think about it and just to come back if I was interested or to call if I had any further questions. I went back the next morning and there was a different guy working the counter. He was a riot. He walked me through the gym again like I requested and he was just a total hoot. He really made me feel welcome. I was very impressed by how family oriented this place felt. The workers knew the members names when they walked in. Everyone got an acknowledgement. I really like the feel for this place. They don't have annual fees or start up fees for their membership. (Like I said they really aren't trying to screw you in any way possible) I can't wait to really utilize this facility. I'm excited!

I do not typically write negative reviews however, my experience with this business was so…read moreincredibly disappointing that I felt like this was necessary. I apologize for how long it is but I really don't want anyone else to experience what I did. I signed up for Fit 4 Life in Mid October of 2017, after two of my friends said that they had signed up and enjoyed it so far. I spoke to the owner, Pete, who assured me that my late schedule requirements were manageable (I work in Boston and would get back to Cranston around 7/730 pm at night). After speaking to Pete and Connor, the other trainer, I felt confident that I would finally get the workout regimen and nutritional help that I've desperately wanted for some time. I was excited to work with them and trusted that they were excited to work with me. I couldn't be more wrong. I will say both Pete and Connor are knowledgeable and the workouts I had with Connor were always great. The problem was time management and lack of communication. Multiple times, I had shown up to train with Connor and he was nowhere to be found. I would then get a text, after already having driven there and taken time out of my day, to be told that his phone had broken or that he had scheduled breakfast with his mother and that we would have to reschedule. The first time this happened, I understood. The second and third times - not so much. Another issue I had was the ways in which we communicated. I was constantly texting back and forth with Connor - but almost every single time was me reaching out to him. Every week I was sending a text making sure I knew when my appointments were. Often times, I would get a "oh sorry, I have plans I forgot about - how is Saturday?". This baffled me. First off, why am I the person always reaching out? I am the client. Secondly, a few times is fine, but every time? That is unfair to me. When I couldn't stand the inconsistency any longer, I reached out to Pete and explained how I felt. He said that he completely understood and that he would now be taking over my appointments. This made me happy - not only would they be in the early AM (5/6 am before my train to Boston) but he seemed genuinely concerned about my concerns, even making it a point to say that we would get 4 half hour sessions in a week and that he would let Connor know. I felt like he valued me as a client but, again, severely mistaken. I, once again, reached out to Pete EVERY SINGLE TIME to schedule our work outs. The first time he told me Wednesday AM was fine but never told me a time. I asked him what time worked and then he immediately responded saying Wednesdays didn't work. This was wildly confusing considering he said this directly under the text conversation we had where he said he could. We made our first appointment for a Saturday. That morning, I asked him what time I should come in because, again, he never texted me to let me know what worked. He completely ignored my text. Pete told me multiple times he would refund me because I was behind three classes. He told me, via text, that he would give me back my money but stopped texting me all together. Just completely ignored me. I ended up not going to my last two weeks because this was THE WORST experience I have ever had with a business and there was never any initiative to resolve these issues. I feel like because I paid upfront, I was seen as less important than their other clients. I see the positive reviews others have left and honestly wonder what I did to receive such an opposite experience. All in all, if you do decide to sign up make sure you do not pay until you receive the service. However, I would recommend that you just go somewhere else with people who are proven to be reliable and good business owners.

I attended a free barre class here through yelp. I had never taken a barre class and didn't know…read morewhat to expect. Our trainer Michelle was a wonderful teacher and very knowledgable. She is a career dancer, so it's not like other places where a fitness instructor just takes a few certification classes. Because of her experience, she is great at explaining how to move and hold your body and how to correct your form. With a maximum class size of 5 - 6, you will have as close to personal training as you can get. The space itself is also top notch. The whole gym has a luxe feel and the studio is small but airy and bright. Between the nice facilities and unique classes, they offer a lot that you won't find anywhere else.

My 5 stars are based on my experience with doing their non-training, weekday gym membership. To be…read morehonest, I'm not sure it's something they actively seek clients for, but since I live a block away and work from home it worked out well. I can tell this gym is focused on personal training and from the reviews looks like 5 stars there as well. But back to the part-time membership - worth every penny. Because they are a personal training gym, we usually always had the place to ourselves which I ended up really, really liking. When I was in fantastic shape, going to the regular gym was nothing, but when you've got some extra pounds to shed, having a nearly private space was amazing. I was concerned that because it was a personal training gym a trainer would eventually come up and try to sell me on some sessions, but that didn't happen. Unlike larger gyms I've been to! Also because they are personal training, you have just about every piece of free-weight/aerobic equipment that you could want, along with several machines - again at your disposal, no worrying about waiting for them. They also offer classes that look fun. Finally you CANNOT, I repeat cannot beat the atmosphere here. It is really cool inside, extremely clean, set-up well (2 floors), modern and the staff/owners are so friendly and pretty much mind their clients and not your presence. In conclusion, the weekday membership is not for everyone, but if you can swing it, it's worth it!
