I decided to look into personal training a year before my wedding so I could look the best on my…read morewedding day. I've been married almost a year now and I'm still with Enfuse Fitness. My trainer Tyler has been a wonderful addition to my life. His knowledge is never-ending and his compassion exceeds that. Tyler has become so much more than just my personal trainer, I consider him a friend. Tyler cares deeply for every single one of his clients. He just wants each one of us to be happy and healthy. Do it for yourself and give Enfuse Fitness a try. You won't regret it.

My husband and I worked with Tyler for about 6 months. We initially started working with him in…read morepreparation for our wedding but continued for a couple of months afterwards. When I first started working with Tyler I was on crutches recovering from a broken ankle and reparative surgery. Tyler was very cautious not to push my ankle too far and always checked in on how it was feeling throughout the workout. He even continued to work on the ankle flexibility, strength, and stiffness with me once I was discharged from PT (possibly too early). Once we were more confident in my ankle, Tyler was able to increase the intensity of my workouts and I was able to lift heavier weights than I ever had on my own. Tyler pushed me further than I would push myself (but not too far!). When I struggled to finish my set he would be there to assist if needed and would stop me when my form started to suffer. Tyler gave us great nutritional advice as well, offered suggestions for meal prepping, and helped us get in better shape for our wedding. He is very friendly, personable, and thoughtful and my husband and I both enjoyed our time working with Tyler. Anyone looking for a personal trainer, regardless of your current fitness level, I would highly recommend Tyler at Enfuse Fitness!

Despite this being a nice gym, there is never any soap in the men's bathroom. The cables on the equipment are rarely lubricated/maintained. Also took them forever to fix their drinking water fountain that leaked all over the floor causing a slipping hazard just to finally get a water bottle filler fountain that requires you to hold a push button about a year ago instead of the typical touch-less sensor style with a filter.

I can't remember exactly what I paid, but it ended up being ~$20 a month, which I consider completely reasonable. I have been to 4 of their different locations, but Enfield is my "flagship" site to which I live closest. The clubs have a higher amount of male clientele than female, but everyone has been super nice and respectful of each other's space. Also, all of their clubs have a "women's only" section with cardio/weight machines, which is super convenient for those of us novices who aren't as comfortable lifting weights with the serious lifters. They all offer similar classes, with Bristol having a separate spinning studio as well as a group class studio. They also have a shake/snack bar if you haven't had time to refuel by the time you get to the gym. I have always felt that the locations were clean and well maintained. The Enfield location is also open 24/7 during weekdays (Ends Friday at 10pm), which is super convenient for people with odd/variable schedules. I greatly appreciate this feature. My only critique is that free Wifi is only available at this route 5 Enfield location and during peak hours it never really works. I have only been able to use it when there are very few people at the gym.

As far as beach goes, I wouldn't advise swimming in it because of a huge sewage leak back in the 1990s. It is a beautiful spot to walk, picnic, and just enjoy the vista.

Be sure to dispose of your litter in the trash can. There was a very kind older gentleman who was working to pick up the litter of the ground, he said "it gives me something to do". There's no reason for this, as there's a substantial amount of trash cans. This is a nice place to go on a boat ride down the Connecticut River, and to try to catch some fish. The Wethersfield Cove is a beautiful place to rest your mind and your eyes.
