The best part about working out with Brad at Progressive Fitness - IT WORKS!! I've been attending the group training classes for about 6 months and would be a fool not to keep it up. I've lost inches and pounds, and re-created a new, shapely me. Best of all, I actually feel like Brad cares about my goals and that he'll do whatever he can to get me there. Using the Gravity machines, each session builds on the last. Brad keeps my muscles guessing, consistently introducing new exercises I've never tried before. He's a master conductor in class, seamlessly moving you and the rest of the group through a fine-tuned, personalized workout that will push you beyond your personal best. By paying close attention to the execution of the exercises, Brad's varied methods will leave you sore, in a good way. Training at Progressive, I've never felt like I was in danger of injuring myself. The gym itself is small and clean. They've succeeded in creating a professional environment that feels completely accessible. The other class attendees are easy going and fun; it's motivating to work out with them. I can say this with total confidence - you put in the time at Progressive Fitness and you will see fantastic results! I am PROOF! read more

I am not one for wanting a personal trainer or coach. I like to just do my workouts on my own, but a friend told me to just try the Gravity workout with Brad at Progressive Fitness. I was pleasantly surprised. He is very professional and has a disarming manner. Instead of feeling self-conscious about working out under someone's scrutiny, I felt like I was getting one of the best workouts ever. Being unused to the equipment, I was unsure of whether I was going to be able to do the exercises correctly, but Brad had the perfect balance of guided instruction without "hovering". He instructs very clearly so I felt confident in the corrections I needed to make without feeling awkward or stupid. And he backs off and gives you some space to do your reps. That is not to say he is not present, because just when you are losing your form, he comes in with a reminder that never sounds like he is correcting you. In short, I have never liked working out with anyone, but having Brad as an instructor was a very pleasant experience, and the workout was phenomenal. read more

I lived in San Diego for 2 years...1st year I had a personal trainer who I was 3 times a week and it kept me in shape...However the second year I worked out with progressive fitness with Brad and Jen....I had never been in better shape in my whole life...and I had no aches or pains and I was running 25 miles a week...along with there classes it was a pleasure to work out. I am currently in NYC and I have yet to find anything that is even close to the total body work out I recieved with them!! Not only are they extremely knowledgable in what they are doing, but they are so motivational, kind and welcoming! Love the two of them! They also promote total body wellness...along with exercise they also realize how important a well balanced diet means to getting and staying in shape!! Please ask Brad about his new nutritional system..that you can do yourself..for an excellent price!! So miss it there and as a Registered Nurse I wish there were more of these places and types of people!! People stop what you are doing and go take a class there!! read more

Progressive Fitness provides total-body training that produces results in a short amount of time. I know I will always get a killer workout helping me build lower and upper-body strength, improve endurance, increase flexibility, develop core stability while burning calories! At first, I didn't think I would be able to handle (or enjoy) the bootcamp and other high-intensity circuit training classes, but I look forward to the sessions now. Anyone at any fitness level can benefit from the gravity system utilized by Progressive Fitness. By using different angles, positions and varying intensity, the exercise options are endless. The small group classes allow you to get to know your fellow trainees and obtain personal direction from the trainer. Brad provides the essential guidance, motivation and encouragement, pushing you harder than you would push yourself while making class fun. If you want to build a better body, go see Brad at Progressive Fitness! read more

Results...seriously I'm getting in shape for my bestie's wedding on the right coast later this year and decided to check it out since it's in one of my favorite places, OB. I just finished up 28 days of unlimited classes and am blown away by the results. Working with Brad or Tanya 2-4x per week, and using the meal planner to tweak my diet has had a huge impact on my body already - my clothes are fitting way better, I have tons of energy and I'm ready to sign up for more! The class times worked and the variety kept it interesting, something for every fitness goal. If you want to challenge your body a little more (in less time), feel and see results, definitely check out Progressive Fitness. read more

Progressive Fitness is one of a kind and in a good way. The combination of spin and gravity training allows for an amazing workout that leads to real results. Every class is different and it's fun! Brad the instructor knows what he's doing and takes the time to make sure the right technique is being performed with every move to allow for maximum results. The studio gym atmosphere and small class sizes really allow for a personal training experience without the outrageous costs. He really cares about the business, fitness, and his clients. I've never enjoyed working out more than I do now! I recommend Progressive Fitness to everyone :) read more

I can't say enough about Brad and everyone at Progressive Fitness. I found myself at a crossroad with my health, and I knew I needed to do something. Since I started training with him back in January, I have lost more than 30 lbs. and 7% body fat!! The Gravity training system WORKS!! With the addition of the meal planning system they offer, I am on my way to being in the best shape of my life. Brad takes the time to make sure your goals become a reality. The classes are fun and full of encouragement from everyone in the studio. I would recommend training here to anyone who asks. Thanks, Brad!! read more

Went to Progressive Fitness last week for my first class. I really did not know what to expect because I have never used equipment like they have. After about 10 minutes into the session, I began to really feel something completely different then any other workout I have done. The entire experience was amazing and the Brad was an incredible instructor. I signed up for the monthly pack and will most likely continue after that. Great stuff if you are looking for something completely different then the "normal" workout. read more

Jen O. and her amazing trainers can do wonders. When you and your aching body enter the studio, you can be assured that you will receive the exercise and release that will have you floating through the day. I have worked with Jen and her staff for several years and consider Progressive Fitness, reinvented as Opaka Method, an integral part of my life. I am a very senior citizen, with knee and balance issues. Jen and the other excellent trainers at the Opaka Method have helped me immensely. read more

I love working out at Progressive Fitness, this is the longest I have ever consistently stuck with a fitness program (almost three years!). Brad Gamson's Gravity classes are the best! He manages to accomodate the needs of every individual regardless of their fitness level. The class sizes are small and although the atmosphere is laid back and fun the value of the workout is never compromised. I love working out here - its worth every penny! read more

I have had on again, off again one to one training with Progressive Fitness due to an unpredictible travel schedule for the last six months. I have finally been able to make a commitment to regular group training in just the last three weeks. This regular commitment is already beginning to pay off in the form of stronger endurance, muscle strengthening, and overall body alignment and balance. Am I pleased? Totally....... read more

Gravity classes with the reformer are a life changer. Having been an avid gym nut all my life, I have experienced all the fitness fads. In my early 30s, I started having lower back pain. The exercises on the reformer are strengthening my core keeping my lower back pain in check. The classes are a challenging full body workout. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to mix up their routine. read more
