I can't say enough positive words about Kai. He's incredibly passionate about personal training and…read moreworking with his clients. He absolutely loves what he does, and it permeates through each training session. I reached out to Kai to get help with chronic lower back pain, and quickly realized Kai was a perfect fit. I always do my due diligence and look for the right service professional. The formula I have found to identify the best service professionals is to find somebody who passionate about what they do and who is obsessed with their craft. Well that is Kai in a nutshell. He genuinely cared and immediately began creating a program to help alleviate my back pain to begin building up the necessary strength for long term success. I have never lifted weights before, and Kai has made it such an easy process. Taking the time to educate me and "show me the ropes." He will motivate you each session and is genuinely excited to be there with you. You should expect multiple high-fives during your sessions ha ha. It has been a great experience working with Kai and I'm so glad that I discovered him. I highly recommend Kai and know that he can help you achieve your goal.

I have only wonderful things to say about Brandon's Personal Training.Wait no longer get in with…read morethis guy!! I work 2 physical jobs and I knew I needed to get in shape! Before I found Brandon, I had just gone through 2 different personal trainers. One of which did not take my fitness desire's serious consideration and the 2nd was the kind of trainer that just wanted to force a hard and heavy program on me that wasn't working well with my body at all which lead to more discomfort. If you've been training for a while you know there's trainers out there that go to hell & high water just to be "right" most will completely disregard the part of "personal" when it comes to training. Thankfully I found Speedy , When I came to Speedy he was open to all my concerns, he understood what I was looking for, what I had experienced and where I was trying to go, he was Quick in all responses and really helped me feel like we were going to do the fitness as a team! As it should be when you invest in personal training. It was super refreshing to experience. The gym is clean and plentiful in workout equipment with a very friendly environment. He was able to meet my busy schedule needs and each workout has left me getting STRONGER, MORE CONFIDENT, AND CHIZZLED. In only 3 weeks I was already shedding weight & stress on my body. Because my jobs are strenuous whenever I told Anthony certain areas off my body were more sore he was patient and modified workouts so that I can still get results without sacrificing form! Not to mention no workout session with his has ever been the same as an Aries I live for Variety he's always got something new up his sleeve! In general he's also a person with great energy, super encouraging, and humorous . very easy to work with!! THANK YOU SPEEDY.

181 fitness has been the best investment I've made for myself this past year. After having my twins…read moreI didn't know if I was ever going to get back to my previous fitness level. I tried popular home workout plans and bought a membership to a big box gym, but it wasn't long before I dreaded my workouts due to lack of direction and minimal progress. I can confidently say that I have exceeded any fitness expectations that I previously set for myself, all because of the trainers at 181 Fitness, who are extremely knowledgeable and truly CARE about each client. They work with all fitness levels, to make the workouts work for you, not the reverse. If something doesn't feel right, I let one of the trainers know, and without hesitation they switch it out for a different exercise. Since joining 181, I now feel like each one of my workouts is well thought out and has a purpose. Can't recommend it highly enough!

Whether you are in the group class or the private sessions, a trainer works with you one on one to help meet your fitness needs. They observe your movements to make sure that your form is correct and to ensure you don't hurt yourself while trying to better yourself. Most importantly, the team at 181 is awesome. From Cody, to Jessie, to Tony, to Gabe, they welcome you and make you feel like family. If you've been thinking about "getting back in shape," stop proscrastinating. Make the call, because a year from now you will have wish you started yesterday.

I am so glad I found Nicky. At 68 I have lost and gained 30+ pounds more times in my life than I…read morecan count. Occasionally I hired a trainer, sometimes through a gym, sometimes not, but I never really felt any huge results. I started a walking 5 years ago and that has been good. Changing my diet to low carb and walking regularly, helped me lose 40+ pounds over the last year. Now I needed to build muscle, get toned, and work on balance and posture. My upper body is weak, I lost tone (and my butt) with this last weight loss. As I age I notice small losses in balance. My posture has been an issue most of my life. I did research. The first trainer I hired, who was less expensive, gave me cookie cutter exercises and didn't push me. Maybe he thought I was too old. Then I hired Nicky. She is not easy on me, but goes at my pace. If I can't do something, she modifies it so I can be successful and still get the benefits. I am amazed at every workout with her depth of knowledge. Working together we have uncovered some issues I didn't know I had and we are working to correct them. When I started having a weird issue, we both researched it and she suggested I see a PT to confirm what we both suspect. I like that she researched the issue and also that she knows her limitations. She says, " I'm not a PT. They study for years. But I know training. " I'm feeling stronger in just a few months. My posture has visibly improved. I didn't expect to see a difference so quickly. She takes measurements and checks for muscle increase periodically. It's not required, but I like to see data. I'm pretty knowledgeable about nutrition, but she made some suggestions. I lost a few more pounds, even though that is not my primary goal at this point. I just want to be stronger and more toned. I want to live healthy into old age and I believe having a strong body is absolutely essential. If you want results and not just go through the motions, give Nicky a shout. If you are willing to work and want to work with someone knowledgeable, she's a great choice. Her workouts are tailored to each client. She will make sure you are safe and provide encouragement.

Nicky took the time to go over what my current diet was and how I could lose weight with some pretty simple meal adjustments she help set up a nutrition program through an app and we programmed in a sample day for me to start with. She was able to explain where my current meal routine was way too high in certain macros and why shifting and excluding items would help me to lose weight and be more healthy. Ultimately I would love to get some resistance training done with her but her schedule was full. I would highly recommend her for nutritional advice and the reasoning behind making the right choices!

If you choose not to read my lengthy review, bottom line Coach Vishal is rude and immature. The…read morenegative review is not based on the services I received but on his behavior after. He began yelling at me over the phone. He was so disrespectful and aggressive I don't feel comfortable being in his presence. He also illegally charged my card. He also responded to this review with a lengthy email telling me I'm tremendously out of shape, amongst other things. Great way to body shame someone trying to get into shape. I made the mistake of inquiring about the "free" 4week booty challenge I saw on Facebook. You can pay $300 for the challenge or $400. With $400, if you lose a certain percentage of your body fat you get all your money back, if you don't you get $200 credit to roll into another program. I've belonged to gyms before but I'm unmotivated to go. I hate wasting money so I figured this challenge would help. You also can't miss any of the classes. I met with Coach Vishal 3/6 to sign up and pay $350, I had already left a $50 deposit. My training sessions were MWF for 1 hour. 3/9 I worked out with him and he told us after he would be out for surgery (why wouldn't you inform new clients of this so they could make the decision to sign up later). So, that Wednesday and Friday he had a substitute. During that week the whole Covid 19 happened. I contacted him 3/16 about my concerns because my roommates were super paranoid about the whole thing and didn't think the gym was safe, since they had started closing down places. He told me as a courtesy he could give me a credit for 9 sessions but he can't force me to workout. I said that's fine. I'll contact you in a couple weeks when this thing dies down (unbeknownst to me). That same week some gyms chose to be proactive and close but by 3/18 they were mandated, including The Gym. (You have to pay $40 for one month to join the gym to do the Pumpz challenge) Vishal did not reach out to any of his students. 3/24 I contacted him. I wanted to know about the challenge. He replied but didn't answer my question. On 3/27 he sent out a link to a free home workout, in case we didn't feel comfortable going to the gym (impossible since it's closed). 3/27 So since he had time to send messages, but couldn't reply to me, I contacted my bank to file a dispute because Vishal could no longer provide the services seeing as the gym was closed. None of us know when the stay home order will be lifted and it's unfair for him to keep all of my money. Anything could happen, he could go out of business, I could move die anything! So my bank withdrew the payment and gave me a temporary credit. Coach Vishal chose to simply charge my card again on 4/8. I called my cc company and they thought possibly I was set up for reoccurring payment. No I signed up for a one time 4 week challenge, meeting 3 times weekly MWF. Classes commenced 3/9 and set to end 4/3. So I disputed that charge too. Well 4/21 I received a phone call from Vishal. He said there's a problem with your payment. I said yes I disputed it after you didn't respond. He said I don't have time to respond to everybody. (But he's posting on fb about how bored he is and what else do you have to do, you can't work! ) I said well I'll be happy to pay again once this is lifted and gyms open. He said no it doesn't work that way. All my time that I put in making your diet (10 minutes). I said well I'll pay you $100 for the one week I attended. He became very irate started yelling at me. I said I'm not going to have this conversation right now with you like this. He said I didn't respond to the first notice (from my cc company) but I'll respond to the new one. I said you also illegally charged my card after they withdrew the payment. I ended up saying do what you have to do and hung up because how can you converse with someone that's arguing, yelling, and unreasonable. Vishal's behavior shows that he's a poor business man and doesn't respect his clients. I've read other Yelp reviews and he even called someone an idiot! I think Vishal only approaches women like this. He talks about wasting his time, but he wants to waste my money. Bottom line is do to unforeseeable circumstances he can't provide the service I signed up for during the timespan I signed up for.
