I cannot say enough positive things about the culture and care each trainer took in bettering my overall physical health in preparing me for my events. They indiviualized a part of each workout session to ensure I wouldn't hurt myself while strengthening my weaknesses. Everyone there from the staff to the other people working out couldn't have been more welcoming and supportive of all my goals. Highly recommended!

The small workout groups allow them to give each person feedback and alternatives to any exercises if you have any limitations. It's not just the staff, but the other members who are also very supportive of each other. Since I joined about 2 and a half years ago, I can lift heavy grocery bags and squat to get things in and out of lower kitchen cabinets. I can easily lift things that I would not have attempted in the past. It's a great feeling! The trainers are super knowledgeable and truly want to help each member reach their goals!

I have been going for about two months now and have only become more motivated after each class to keep coming back. I have physical limitations as well as 'can't quote do that yet' limitations and have always been able to discuss what I can do and what I can try to do with the coaches. The fellow members are super friendly and inviting. Even if you don't know someone they are bound to come up and introduce themselves which makes coming back all the easier. The gym is its own little village and has made it a great experience so far.

I was still new-ish to Crossfit then, and a little nervous about going somewhere new (this was my first experience outside my home Crossfit box). Rob was so helpful and provided great feedback. It is a very welcoming environment, fostered by both the trainers and the members. I travel for work a lot and sometimes don't get as much Crossfit in as I'd like. The trainers at Delaware Valley never hestitate to give extra attention if I need help with my form or tweaking a technique. Also, I notice the class sizes are a little smaller than my home box which I really like. I feel like I get more instruction. All in all, this is a great place to be a member or just to drop in. I've been back about 6 times since that first visit and I will certainly be back again.

Taylor from Peace thru Strength has changed my life in the 3 short months that I have known her…read more She has the incredible ability to be a motivating, supportive, and tough as nails trainer, and she has that whatever-it-is that has me hooked on more more more exercise! Before this, I had never in my life been able to find a fitness class or gym membership that worked well for me. As a stay-at-home mom I really needed something unique to help me get back into shape after my second baby. I am not comfortable leaving a newborn baby with gym babysitters and I don't want to pay for a private babysitter just to exercise. After much research, I found THIS! Moms on the Move is a cardio/weight training class that allows me to take my baby with me to exercise, and it's during preschool hours so I don't have to take 2 with me! Plus I get to chit-chat and have interaction with fantastic women while I exercise. It's not just for moms with babies either, or moms, or babies. Peace thru Strength offers every type of fitness class, personal training, and group exercise you can dream up and with class times that fit anyone's schedule. One of the best parts is that it is PAY AS YOU GO! No monthly gym membership that you have pay for regardless of how many times you exercise. Plus, you'll be hard pressed to find better prices in the area. I know I sound like an advertisement. I'm not - it's just that awesome.

Taylor is amazing, motivational, and pushes me to keep going -you can do anything for 30 seconds- thru every class!! She knows what challenges me and makes sure to push me thru those workouts while being attentive to others in the class. Who would imagine the day when I enjoy burpees. I take spin, trx and impact at PTS and LOVE them all. There is a great variety of classes and the times they run- so much to choose from sometimes I have to take 2!! Thanks so much Taylor for helping me fit into my wedding dress and feel amazing on my special day!!

I can't recommend Fix Your Run highly enough. John TRANSFORMED my relationship with running. With…read morehis help I went from needing physical therapy after 3 mile runs with expensive custom-made orthotics, to running 10+ miles without orthotics. Never an athlete or a frequent runner, I ran 1000 injury-free miles in my first year of working with John. Aside from results, John is a great and supportive coach. He is deeply invested in his clients, strives to know them well and, ultimately, solve their unique issues. John not only helped me run pain free, he helped me stay motivated to hit my running goals. While John's work is centered on running, it is holistic in scope. With his help I became stronger and more agile. Much of our work together was focused on movement and strength exercises that made me feel more confident in my body's capabilities not only when running but in all athletic endeavors. John is amazing and it is not an overstatement to say that if you're struggling with pain or just looking to hit ambitious running goals, Fix Your Run will change your life. It did for me.

I was always a fan…read moreof the Hal Higdon training programs but I needed something more to prepare me for my first marathon so I decided to give John a call. I had been following John's blog for some time and found his advice useful. ( fixyourrun.com ) We even had a few email exchanges where he offered great advice for free. One of the things I liked about him right away was how he handled making a future running schedule based upon what days you might have missed in your schedule. Within the first 5 minutes talking with John I knew he was the coach I wanted. His goals for me were realistic and so was his approach to my training. He asked me several questions and had me do a few running tests. We were both on the same page as far as how my training would go and what I would need to do to prepare for a 26.2 mile journey. It is not even 2 months into my training and I am already seeing a major difference with my running. I am injury free, pain free and, most importantly, I am finishing all of my runs feeling like a million bucks! I used to be red in the face and tired of running after a long run but now I feel like I could easily run another 5 miles when I finish. John's plan also incorporates an essential mix of stretching for both pre and post runs. He has given me tips and advice that no other training plan has ever offered and I know he caters to the individual needs of each runner. It is well worth the investment to hire John. He is always available to talk or answer question over email. I will be working with John for all of my upcoming races.

It's easy to miss this small women's only studio on a side street in Ardmore off Lancaster Ave, but…read moreI'm so glad I found it! I've been taking the group fitness classes here for about a year and a half now and I love them! The studio is clean and bright and has a wide variety of well-maintained equipment. The group strength classes are full body, and you hit all the muscle groups as you work through ten different stations. And I love that it's never the same class twice. There's always a new variety of exercises to challenge you and keep you from getting bored. I've taken class with several different trainers and they're all fabulous. Not only are they friendly and encouraging, but they're also very knowledgeable and attentive to proper form. But what I love most about coming here is the positive vibes I get in every class. Every person in every class is welcoming and encouraging no matter where you are in your fitness journey. I always leave the studio feeling stronger, happier, and more confident than when I walked in.

Last year when I heard that the oh-so-awesome megaformer workout was coming to the main line via…read morethis new studio named Plank, I signed up right away! And then I was hooked. The workout was incredible and gave me more strength and definition (in 3 classes/week) than barre classes ever did (in 5-6 classes/week). And it was a perfect compliment to my first half-marathon training. Megaformer classes gave me a lot of strength and power when running and that extra strength even helped take the pressure off my back, allowing me to run 13 miles without back pain (vs. the pain I had when training for a 5 mile race a few years ago before I was in megaformer shape). Hilary and her instructors are all welcoming and personable and I really recommend the studio and the workout to anyone in the area. There is nothing else close to megaformer in my opinion. A really intense and effective workout!

When I am paying for a private session and can't get to the equipment & witnessing people with bad form because they won't limit class sizes to something one instructor can realistically oversee, its time to move on. If you like working out while dodging a herd of burpeeing CH moms and ownership unconcerned that longtime patrons are being rudely displaced, you've found your workout home. (Plus they've added a bunch of businesses within their space though original variance was for one business- altogether this means there is no parking for blocks for local residents and patrons).
