I just show up at my time and they take me through it. It doesn't matter which trainer I have-they are all knowledgable and actually make it enjoyable. I don't need to figure anything out, be motivated, know the correct weights, or any of it. And, I have gotten stronger! My game has improved, I can hold my own now and I haven't had an injury in ages. Not only that, but this has made a huge difference in my everyday life. Balance, squatting, lifting, etc. I was not expecting to feel this much better overall. This I one of the best things I have ever done for myself.

I cannot say enough amazing things about HOTWORX in Belmont! From the moment I walked in, I felt…read morewelcomed and genuinely cared for and a huge part of that experience was because of Neil L. HOTWORX being open 24 hours is honestly a game changer. My schedule can get busy, and having the flexibility to book sessions whenever it works for me has made it so much easier to stay consistent. The concept of infrared sauna workouts is something you truly have to experience to understand. You're in a private sauna room choosing from multiple guided sessions, everything from yoga and Pilates to high-intensity interval training (HIIT). No matter which workout I choose, I leave drenched in sweat but in the best way possible. What really stands out is how I feel afterward. Instead of feeling completely drained like some traditional workouts, I feel relaxed, lighter, and almost reset. The infrared heat helps reduce soreness, speeds up recovery, and gives you that detox feeling that makes your body feel refreshed from the inside out. It's the perfect combination of intense and therapeutic. Now let me talk about Neil L. phenomenal doesn't even begin to describe him. He took the time to personally show us around, explain how each session works, and break down how to maximize results. He wasn't just giving a tour; he was educating us. He shared tips on how to structure workouts, how to stay consistent, and how to really push ourselves while still listening to our bodies. His encouragement genuinely motivates you to try your best. What I also appreciated was how knowledgeable he is about their products. He doesn't "sell" you he explains how everything supports your goals. From supplements to recovery tools, he connects it all back to performance and consistency, which honestly makes you want to invest in yourself and keep showing up. The atmosphere at HOTWORX Belmont is clean, modern, and empowering. You feel like you're part of something focused on growth and wellness. If you're looking for a workout that makes you sweat, detox, recover faster, and actually feel good afterward this is it. Highly recommend HOTWORX Belmont and especially Neil L. for the outstanding customer care and support!

I started training with Lala 6 years ago after a back injury. I had spent thousands with a…read morephysical therapist, who eventually told me she couldn't do anything for my injury. Lala worked with me to gently build my strength around my injury, and within a few months my pain was so much improved. She is a very intuitive and thoughtful trainer. She always listens to my limits, yet pushes me when it's safe. We have both moved and we now work together over zoom. Every week I get a new, customized workout, and I do things I never thought were possible with my injuries. I sail competitively and that puts a huge strain on my body. It's great knowing Lala is always there to help put me back together again. I highly recommend her for Pilates and personal training.

I originally sought Valerie's help for right shoulder pain from doing my art work. The true reason for my pain, however, was muscle weakness and imbalances, which I had ignored for decades. By July 2024, my shoulder was pain-free. As I continued to increase my activity, Lala was always spot on with helping me with whatever other issues emerged. I religiously followed the exercises that she suggested. Rather than a rigid routine, she taught me how to strategically select "a la carte" from my menu of mobility, strength, and core exercises. Today, my shoulder pain is long gone. My mobility is much better: I can raise my arms and stretch without any hitches or weakness. When I look in the mirror, my shoulders are even for the first time in 20 years. Most importantly, I feel empowered to know how to respond to small issues that may come up. It feels good to be so much stronger and to be able to be active again!

I've been training with Kip since November 2013. I am a member of big and posh club, but wanted to…read moretake my training to a next level. Also I personally don't like trainers chatting with me during workout and baby-sitting me if I am tired. I feel I am there to get to my edge and personal trainer should be able to work with me on it. Kip is absolutely great at this task. He always tell me "you could do some more" and I do it, even if I think I am close to an end. I appreciate Kips' flexibility and willingness to accommodate my schedule (which could be unpredictable sometimes). He is very reasonable and if you follow his recommendations and honest and upfront about changes in your schedule, you're going to be in the right place. My weight went down (good 15 lbs - even I was not planning on losing any), and strength and flexibility is way up. My initial goal was to fix my long-time spine problems and get ready for 2013-2014 skiing season, but I got addicted :)

Kip is hands-down the best personal trainer I have ever worked with. As an aging (55+) "weekend…read morewarrior", I had been struggling with a host of random injuries, many of which sidelined me for months. Physical therapy helped me limp back onto the court or on the bike, only to quickly injure myself again. Kip stepped in and carefully catered a strength training program for me to help address my vulnerabilities and goals. I have strength trained in the past, but found myself plateauing quickly and/or injuring myself in the effort. I have never seen the level of results that I have experienced with Kip's program. Every workout with him has been different; he has an innate ability to mix things up while focusing on the whole body and the overall plan. He listens well, helps me work around injuries and is a great motivator. With the same amount of workout time, i am getting 2-3x the results. My athletic performance on the court has gotten a huge boost, I feel better and I look better. Kip even helped me acquire equipment for my home/garage workout area so that i can more easily keep the program rolling, in spite of a busy schedule. Highly recommend!!!

My journey started with a quick 15 minute phone call with the owner (Elliot) who was extremely friendly and understanding as I explained to him about my pandemic weight gain woes in being sedentary from working from home and how I needed to jump start my workout routine. He got me excited to sign up for the free 30 minute consultation that I booked it within the same week. He then connected me with one of his trainers (Manny) who provided me with a walk-through of the gym layout and general overview of a training session. Without any hesitation, I went ALL IN and signed up for the 4x/week package and 7 months later I can honestly say that I am healthier and stronger than I have been in years. I am also super lucky to have the best top-notch trainers (Manny, Lauren, and Brenden) constantly motivating and helping me every step of the way in designing challenging but enjoyable workout sessions so that I can achieve my personalized fitness goals. I highly recommend CTF especially if you want to find a gym that really cares about the health and safety of their clients and who takes the time in improving your mind, body and spirit one workout session at a time.

I checked this…read morespot out based on the reviews and some recs, but I legit had to do a double take because what I heard and what I saw were completely different. Equipment: If stuff isn't broken or bent, it just isn't there. I've seen gyms with half the space have more kilos and power bars available. Not to mention they have an entire area dedicated to machines that look like they only get used when the cleaners dust them off. I heard the owners have been promising more stuff, but nothing's come except a small ah set of plates. Facilities: Bathroom was straight up vile with a busted toilet seat. Floors are legit slimy, and I saw maybe two people tops wipe off their equipment. I asked some of the other members if the gym ever brings in a maintenance crew to clean the place down, but they told me the cleaning is done by like a family and kids LMAO Management: Day-to-day is run by this dude named Jostin (Justin?), but outside of my first visit I barely saw the man. Bro is either not at the gym or locked up in the back office. Only time I remember seeing him was when his doordash arrived. The other owners are barely in too, and I heard the main dude isn't even in state anymore??? Cost: Game time. Based on what I've said, guess how much they ask for a month. Two-fn-hundred without a contract, 150 for a 6 month. Place thinks is premium-premium but is giving vibes that make 24 look like Equinox. The members must love burning cash because they could do so much better for much less
