Not only is he super knowledgeable as it pertains…read moreto all things fitness, he's also very keen on posture, stretching and helping all of us make sure we do the exercises right and not hurt ourselves. Thanks to his classes and instruction, my fitness level has dramatically increased and I no longer have any pain in my left knee, a problem I had been dealing with for years. I definitely recommend and vouch for Ben and hope all of you reading this give his classes and personal training sessions a chance.

Then I felt as if I hit a plateau and reached out to Ben for help. Since I have lost over an additional 50lbs. With Ben's knowledge he taught me how to eat properly, count my daily intake on foods and how to work out without getting injured. I continue to strive to reach my goal with the success of Ben's knowledge. I work out with him 5 days a week with his 20min HITT classes. I was one who kept telling myself I can't do this, and here I am a year later kicking butt. It's a life style change and I am greatful for having him as my trainer.

Adam is an amazing trainer. He is knowledgable and compassionate with any injuries you have, but…read morewill push you right to the edge of your comfort zone. Then he'll ask you to step outside that comfort zone. No two workouts are ever the same, and in the summer he'll even take the workouts outside. He uses a lot of body weight training with TRX straps, but also kettlebells, medicine ball, bosu ball and yoga. His new indo board this summer added a whole new level of difficulty to familiar exercises. I've been working with Adam for a year and a half. When I started, I had just lost 100 pounds on my own and knew it was time to do something other than yoga and running, but had no idea where to start. Training with Adam has given me a strong body, great looking arms, and so much more. It's given me confidence in my body's ability to try activities I couldn't have dreamed of before - stand up paddleboard, hiking, water skiing, and yoga teacher training. Whether you're a fierce competitor, a fitness newbie like I was, or somewhere in between, Adam will take you to your edge and help you reach your fitness goals.

I have been training with Adam for about 5 months and could not be happier with the results, thus…read morefar. I've experienced an increase in strength, energy and overall confidence. On a typical training day, Adam predominantly utilizes TRX, but is never afraid of going outside the box (i.e. yoga, Pilates, mat work, etc.) He tailors each session to best fit the needs of the individual, so you will get a truly unique experience each time. Adam has a greater understanding of injuries than most trainers and is subsequently, quite adept at working with individuals who suffer from them. He has a plethora of alternative exercises to utilize when working around or strengthening the weaker spots. One of the things that I enjoy most about training with Adam is that he is a wonderful teacher. Due to his eclectic and extensive fitness background, he has so much experience to share with clients, and does so in an articulate and relatable way. Adam is also very patient. He takes his time with clients and never shies away from going the extra mile. If you or someone you know is looking for an incomparable experience with the best trainer in the capital region, call Adam Howard.

I joined the Ciccotti Center a couple of years ago. The fitness classes and facilities are great. I…read morelike my instructors. My classmates and the front desk staff are nice, too. It's taken me a while to enjoy the full benefits of this gym which is very large. Now the I'm retired and covered under CDPHP, my gym membership is free. I finally started taking pool classes. I've even stayed behind after classes to use the Lazy River which is awesome. It's a steady current which works just like those in the water parks. Well, the Lazy River is currently under repair until further notice but the huge waterslide is working. I decided to give that a try the other day. It appears to be a couple of stories high with steady water jets blasting you through the ride. For the center to open the slide there needs to be four lifeguards on duty as a safety precaution. I spoke to some of the lifeguards before taking the plunge. They advised me to lean forward to slow down and lean back to speed up. I did a combination. When I splashed down, they were very nice to check on me. I got two turns on the slide before the lifeguards had to go to lunch and the slide was closed until they returned. The Ciccotti Center has great features but some like the slide and Lazy River are expensive to maintain. They're so fun. It's certainly a stand out workout facility.

When asking about any issue, you're told to speak to management. Where are they? Not in their office or helping their staff. They're in the gym working out with headphones in. Avoiding work, avoiding staff requests, avoiding customer relations. And if you do manage to get the chance of an interaction, they are rude & dismissive. This facility could be nice, but it's being run into the dirt. You're better off looking elsewhere.

Like most gyms, there's an array of fees to navigate: For the barebones membership, that will be $100 to create an account, $50 yearly, plus $10 a month: $270 your first year and $170 every year after. The gym itself is top-notch; completely newly renovated. Plenty of treadmill and cardio options. Free weights and machines are all new and in excellent working condition. Clean, clean, clean. At peak times, it can be annoying to have to weight to use some of the equipment. The next tiered membership ($30/month), you get access to the majority of their classes, as well as their tanning and oxygen station. I hear good things about the classes, which start at 5:30 AM and go until 8PM. Solid value for a gym, provided you use it 3+ times a week.
