Coach Luca is amazing. Someone who understands that everyone has stuff going on in their life and…read moreisn't going to be perfect. But focusing on that long term success and building habits/systems and getting to the root of bad habits and trying to find mechanisms to work out of them. I had been tracking my macros on and off for years and having some success, but I could never stick with it long term. The math made sense to me, it was the follow through and the hunger that would always do me in eventually. When I started with Luca I kind of reverted back into my usual habit when tracking. Surprise surprise I was hungry all the time. Coach immediately gave me some suggestions, and eventually we got me into a groove where I was able to sustain long term. I had been following some nutrition coach programs for years but hadn't had the courage to sign up, always thinking hey, I know the math if I had some discipline I could do it myself. Well I had let myself get to an extreme I wasn't happy with in terms of my health and figured that I needed to put up and just do it. One of the best decisions I have made. Went from being in the worst shape of my life to being in a better spot than I had been in since university. And I wasn't doing many hours of cardio a day to maintain it like when in university. I would instantly recommend Coaches services to anyone I know. From someone who fought it/put it off for years, it is 1000% worth it. It's like having someone else on your team with years of experience who can leverage it to help you and make the changes/work as easy as possible. Helps you find something that works for you. Because everyone is in a very different body and position in their life. Plus he gets my B99 references, so that's a bonus.

As a queer person, having a trainer who is also in the LGBTQIA+ community helps me feel safe. He is incredibly knowledgeable and is great at explaining the biomechanics behind the exercises. As a result, the workouts are always super efficient. I started noticing changes in how my clothes were fitting within three months! I love how Luca knows exactly how to push you in a way that is both fun and uplifting. My biggest breakthrough while working with him is realizing that I am still physically capable, strong, and able to push my body further than I thought I could. I highly recommend Luca for anyone who is looking for a fun, positive, educated trainer to help them achieve their physical health and wellness goals.

I am writing this review purely to caution middle age women like myself with similar goals to not…read morebe hasty and to take time and do their due diligence in hiring a personal trainer. I believed in the customized training story, paid upfront for a 36-session (which is pricing for a senior trainer) and a separate $70 assessment fee. I was then assigned to a young trainer in early twenties based on my availability/scheduling. I began training very enthusiastically, hoping to build strength and achieve sustainable fat loss and enjoy the health journey. Sessions were 3 times a week (M,W,F) 60 minutes with additional 15 minute warmup & 10 minute cool down. This particular trainer usually followed supersets (4 exercises × ~15 reps) and minimal rest--sitting down between exercises was not allowed, and water breaks were at the trainer's discretion. I was chastised for drinking water when he said not to in one session. It was boot camp/military style approach is what I realized which is not at all what I was looking for. After 5 weeks, I started dreading going to the sessions as I was in constant pain of one sort or another - tried to voice my concerns he heard me but did not listen or believe. Mainly I developed persistent knee joint pain which is not normal soreness--making squats, lunges, sitting, standing and regular walking very difficult. FYI - I am 60 year old female with no medical history or any kind of health issues or joint pains. The trainer pushed exercises anyway, stating discomfort was "how muscles learn," and encouraged extremely low calorie diet. For lack of a better term, a punishment-based approach was used on occasion . For ex: for minor lateness to a warmup (5 mts vs 15mts), extra mountain climbers were added to an already intense sessions to teach accountability (in his words), which was very demeaning and rude. Previously I attributed his off-handed comments at times to young age & inexperience. This particualr day when I had to do extra sets is when I started having serious second thoughts about continuing at this facility. I was in this long haul. Respect, listening to your clients & adapting to their needs are basics in any profession. Finally - the following week after an intense leg session (supersets of walking lunges, progressive overload leg press from 45 to 70lbs jump and few other intense exercises) caused a severe knee injury, leaving me unable to stand , sit or walk and in pain for nearly four weeks. That is the decision point for me that this trainer/approach is not a good fit for me. I have foregone five paid sessions, prioritized my health over money and ended the association. There was phone tag with the owner couple of times - I wanted to provide constructive feedback for improvement. We never connected. I did not expect any refund from them nor did I pursue - left it to the owner's discretion. As of today - I still cannot fully use my legs or knees to get into squats as I used to . Hoping to slowly ease back to my former self. Overall -this program felt very unsafe. Did not meet expectations for what I was sold on/signed up for (for my individual goals at my age and fitness level), was overly aggressive with a one size fits all bootcamp approach.

I am really against hurting businesses with negative reviews, but I honestly do not want anyone…read moreelse to experience what me and my friends experienced with this business. Our experience started out great, we were sold on monthly sessions with Josh. However, at our 3rd session, he was over 30 minutes late and said he was only 10 minutes away and getting coffee, that ended up being over 30 minutes late and he took that away from our session time. The 5th session, he didn't show up or call at all. Mind you there were 3 of us training together and our times have never changed. I texted him and he acted like he completely forgot about us. We immediately told him that we would no longer be continuing with him as he has wasted our time at least twice. For a new customer, that is completely unacceptable. He said he would refund us the remaining 3 sessions we had and apologized blaming an assistant for the error- even though the entire time, we have never dealt with anyone but him. After several weeks, we did not receive any refund. We barely got return messages from him when we inquired about it. Finally, one late night, he texted us saying that he does not actually owe us any refund and that he will ask some 3p company to give us a refund for 1 session only, which we still have not received. Do not be fooled by his salesman-like charm on the first assessment. His workouts are lacking as well- he was mostly on his phone while trying to personally train 3 people.

Short review: This place is awesome and I feel great after going there for a year…read more Long review: Like many folks, I got super sedentary during the pandemic. My old workout studio closed forever and I couldn't get myself to do stuff on my own. While I'm pretty active (I ride my bike to work everyday), I know I need something more. I was up to 300 lbs and felt achey all the time. I ate like crap and my knees hurt. I would side step up and down the stairs. Last year, I even tore my miniscus but still wasn't motivated enough to do physical therapy. Last fall, I finally felt like I was ready to find some place to workout again. But I didn't want to be shamed for my weight or for my lack of fitness. I decided that I would look for the closest "fitness" place near my house and did a google search. I called them up and talked to Tovah. I shared my concerns and that I wanted to be fit for regular life, not for some fancy future ironman training. Also, I didn't want to be shamed for my weight or encouraged to lose it. She was great and said that's not what they're about. They are all about helping people live well and be strong for what they need. I decided I would try... and mentioned I would love to do a 6am training. She laughed and referred me to Allison. Allison is the early bird trainer and I could NOT be any happier with ending up with her. She is the epitome of encouraging motivation. I was kinda appalled at the cost (it's WAY more expensive than my past with $26/month 24 hour fitness) so I thought "I'll try this for a month". Well, I am hooked and it is worth every penny and more. I have been going 2x/week at 6am to train with Allison for about a year. The change in my body has been astounding. No, I didn't lose weight. I'm still 300 lbs. But, I sleep without pain. I wake up without my feet hurting me. My knees allow me to walk straight downstairs without my usual side stepping. I am almost ready to start dancing and roller blading again. Tovah was right. This isn't a gym which shames you or makes you feel like you need to lose weight to be healthy. Yes, there are always things you can do with eating better, but I'm not there right now and that's okay. I can still get stronger. I have this feeling of pride when I do something I couldn't even dream of last year. The other women that work out are great too and it's wonderful to see people at different levels of ability and working on their own specific needs. This is personal training in a group setting. I've had personal training (couldn't afford that many sessions) and I've had group training (everyone doing the same thing didn't help me address my specific knee pain). I've also worked out on my own. This has been the best exercise experience of my life. I get personal training regimens on an app on my phone and go in twice a week where there is a small group (never more than 5 people) and Allison gives each of us specific pointers and support on how to do an exercise or how to modify for a specific injury or "this is your body today". Allison also provides workouts for when you want to do something on your own and she's really flexible about what she can provide. Going on vacation for 4 weeks and want to maintain some sort of routine? She's got you with minimal equipment. Needing a little extra stretching cause some muscles are cramping up? She'll give you just the right idea. Feeling strong and not sure if you want to move onto the next weight? She'll ask "How is that weight feeling to you?" and help you move up to the next challenge. I highly highly recommend EVO. They are all amazing. I've even interacted with Ty. When my hip was hurting like crazy, I made an appt with Ty and she assessed my strength and where my body might need some extra support. She gave that info to Allison and she incorporated that into my workouts. This is just such an amazing community. I joined in November last year and reluctantly went to a holiday party there where people laughed a lot, there was dancing, karaoke, and a fun time. Finally, let's talk money. I won't put exact numbers here since that may change... but let's just say I'm paying enough for a small car payment. But, it's worth it. Plus, you can use your flexible spending account to pay for it. It really is healthcare.
