A great studio with kind, conscientious, and helpful instructors that foster a sense of community. I liked that the classes were welcoming, available at a variety of times, and not too large. It was fun learning yoga and getting to meet and work out with wonderful people! read more

I worked here and at first I really liked it. As a fitness coach I never saw a raise which in my opinion is being cheap. if you want to keep good staff a raise is essentiAl. When a coach was out on vacation or sick the owners never wanted to teach classes in my opinion why open a gym then. I wanted to wear a mask do to Covid and one of the owners told me he didn't like me doing that. I enjoyed teaching and I liked the clients but I wouldn't recommend working here. read more

I started going to Soul Train in 2020 after working out at the local BSC for years. I was looking for a studio to do classes because I needed a slower gym pace after a herniated disc. All of the instructors are so helpful and always make sure that I feel comfortable with every exercise. If I feel like a workout is too much, they always provide a modified version for me that works the same muscle group, but isn't too hard on my back. I have also really appreciated how accommodating Kourtney has been- from anything to having to cancel/swap a class last minute to pausing my membership for a month. Everyone clearly cares deeply about the member experience and there is a true community feel to the gym. read more

Five stars is not enough for Soul Train! I started my journey with Soul.Train.Fitness 3 years ago. Jonathan Medeiros and his team are the best around, all experts in their field, friendly and so supportive of your fitness goals. Great classes, small groups and one on one training, they will work with you to find out what suits you best! I have achieved more in my sessions with Jonathan than all the years I have spent at a gym not pushing myself to my full potential. Jonathan has taught me so much about what I am truly capable of and I am amazed. I am healthier and stronger than I have ever been and I'm going to be 50 in October. Give Soul.Train.Fitness a try, you'll love it! read more

Soul Train Fitness - Trainers Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

I love the team at Soul Train! I have been to so many gyms which don't actually understand people's needs, know how to motivate them, or provide them with the necessary help and support. I was so happy to find a gym that does all of that and more! The trainers are knowledgeable, understanding, and motivating. There is a definite sense of community here (in the gym and out), which provides an amazing sense of teamwork & camaraderie. In addition, the workouts switch up constantly to focus on strength and cardio. I can't say enough good things about Kourtney, Jonathan, and the rest of the team at Soul Train! Run there now...literally. read more

I love soul.train., this has been the only point in my life where I've looked forward to going to work out! The classes are so much fun (even thought I'm dead by the end of it), I usually go to Team Training classes with Anthony or Kourtney, hip hop dance camp with Erica, and sometimes yoga with Val. All of the teachers are awesome, friendly, and nice but still ready to kick your butt when you need it. Nice variety in the types of classes that are offered, and it doesn't gets repetitive or boring, there's always a new way to challenge yourself. Jonathan, the owner, has gone above and beyond in accommodating changes in my membership after some health issues I'm dealing with recently, where I'm not able to work out as much as I used to. I honestly miss my classes at soul.train., and can't wait until I can start going regularly again. They've created a fun, positive fitness community and I'm really glad I'm a part of it. read more

I ADORE Soul.Train! It took me a long time to find the right fit in a gym to meet my needs. Turns out what I needed wasn't just a gym, but community. The trainers all know me by name and are friendly and supportive and help me recognize growth over time. It's been a delight to be a member here for almost two years (my second anniversary is in April!) and I've never worked out so consistently and with such great results--even after a year of Zoom and outdoor in the park workouts. Thank you Soul.Train! - Rowan read more

I stopped by for the 7:15pm Wednesday night Vinyasa class since I was staying at a hotel nearby for work. It was only $10 for the class (a May special!), which I thought was great! Chelsea was the instructor and she was awesome. The class was pretty small (about 6 students?) which I really enjoyed. I'm definitely still a beginner (I've yoga-ed only a handful of times), and yet I felt like I kept up with the class (by sneaking peeks at the girls next to me to check the poses). Chelsea also demonstrated a lot of the poses and transitions which I really appreciated. I was pouring sweat throughout so was glad I had remembered a towel (it's not a hot yoga class, I'm just super out of shape)! Definitely will be back when staying in the area again! There's street parking in the front, which was easy to find at 7pm on a Wednesday (metered until 8pm). read more

This review fulfills both of my New Year's resolutions -- getting to a Yelp 100 and trying a new fitness activity each month! I visited Soul. Train. on January 31 for Zumba and could not have had a better experience. The space is really inviting -- basically one big room dance studio -- with easy meter parking on the street close by. $15 for a drop in class with no commitment sounds pretty good to me. I have a regular cheap gym for weights etc. but I really wanted an athletic activity to go to that would feel like a fun treat. I think the price is somewhat cheaper if you buy a bunch of passes at once. You can sign up for class online, so there's no awkward up-selling like some gyms do. This was my first zumba class, and I was born with 2 left feet, so I didn't know what to expect. Luckily, the class was pretty forgiving of first timers while being challenging enough for real dancers. If I couldn't figure out a move, I just did something similar to keep my heart rate up until we got back to a move I could follow. There were only three students that day, which I think was a little disappointing for the teacher, but I appreciated not being stuck in the back of a crowd or having to worry about knocking anybody over with an errant jab (remember, 2 left feet). By the end of the class I felt like all the winter blah had been sweated right out. I'm excited to get back to Soul. Train. to check out more of their classes in the next couple weeks! read more

This review is for the personal training services at Soul Train (I have not taken one of their classes) and they are phenomenal. I've been going to Soul Train for a little over a year and go twice per week - one session with Jonathan Medeiros (owner) and a second with Fern Bent-Mullings. The short version: they're both phenomenal at what they do and the improved strength I have is 100% noticeable. Both are extremely nice, supportive, motivational, and are able to explain the exercises clearly...and explain what you're doing wrong if your form is not correct. For context, in addition to improving my strength and fitness, I also wanted to help my tennis game (I'm an avid 4.5 NTRP tennis player) and physical endurance while riding my motorcycle on the racetrack. These activities have been my primary measure of improvements - in addition to the physical looks. ;-) Within the first 3 months, I noticed improvements. I was faster on the tennis court and able to get to balls quicker, my balance and stability have also improved. I've had friends who I play tennis with every week tell me over the past year about how I'm able to get to balls they thought were winners and not only am I able to get to the ball but I'm getting there so much quicker that I'm able to hit an offensive shot (instead of a defensive one). Now, when I'm playing 2 hours of singles tennis, I have the mental confidence knowing that I can maintain the same physical level for the entire match. On the racetrack, I've noticed similar benefits: the first track day of the season doesn't leave my legs sore and I'm able to do 3 track days back-to-back and still be physically fresh. If you're looking for a personal trainer, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND going to Soul Train. read more

This gym might be small, but with the variety of classes offered, you have all the workout options of a full-service fitness facility. If all you do is look at the schedule, you'll see more interesting, unique, and fun-sounding classes than most gyms. Plus, the class variety proves that compared to smaller, more boutique-style gyms and studios in the area that focus on just weights or just yoga, Soul Train acknowledges the importance of changing things up to avoid injury and boredom. The class schedule is what initially attracted me here when I moved to the area. But, there's more to any place than just offering awesome classes and I've learned a lot after coming here for the past few months. For one, I would love to see more of an entry or changing area to separate the actual class taking place from people coming in and out. The first time I went to Soul Train, I arrived super early to get my bearings and register, and I literally walked into the middle of a tabata class with people throwing kettle bells around, and then I had nowhere to sit and wait for the next class to start. You really should arrive no more than about 10 minutes before your class time. Speaking of time, a few of the classes I took (mainly Zumba) ended between 5 and 10 minutes early, which I just found a little disappointing considering you're paying per class. I also found some of the class instructors to come across as a little lackluster, which makes it hard for me to pick my energy up. I don't mind the same routine each week (in fact, I like working on something and seeing improvement), but it would be nice to see some instructors perk up a bit and give more feedback and energy throughout the class. Honestly, if you're looking for the soul of Soul Train, the class Sweat With Lauren is the answer. This girl is one of the best instructors I've ever had the privilege of taking a class with and she knocks it out of the park every time. Here's what I love about Lauren: -she brings so much genuine energy and enthusiasm to everything she does -she is kind, friendly, and makes an effort to learn names, which makes the whole vibe of the class feel like more of a team and less like a bunch of little cliques -she focuses on proper alignment and makes the rounds in the room to adjust people, which makes me feel super safe -her routines are challenging and high intensity, and she acknowledges this so you know you are working hard and will see results As a firm believer that there is no one-size-fits all workout, I love Soul Train for having ALL of the workouts I like, including yoga, dance, cardio, and strength training classes. Truly, this gym has something for everyone and if you were to devote your entire fitness routine to coming here, you'd get a well-rounded combination of workouts that challenge your body in all the essential ways. read more

This studio is phenomenal! My friend and I often say that if we could live here, we would. The staff members are friendly, knowledgeable and client-focused; the studio itself is clean and bright; the classes are unique and reasonably priced; and it's a fun workout experience! It has a very neighborhood feel to it, which is a nice change from the big corporate gyms in the area. I always feel welcome, comfortable and part of the community. I do personal training sessions with Jonathan and have attended the Zumba and yoga classes and I love all of it! This studio has made me look forward to my workouts and take pride in all the progress I've made. After 10+ years of distance running, I hit a seriously hard wall with fitness and was burnt out. When I came to Soul.Train, I couldn't do one push-up, couldn't touch my toes and felt like working out was a chore. Not only have I gained physical strength and flexibility, but I feel rejuvenated and knowledgeable about fitness. There's certainly a worry in getting the word out about this gem...classes are sure to get crowded and there will be a waiting list for personal training, but this place deserves success!!! Tip: Buy a 10 class pack, and classes are only $10 each! read more

When looking for a gym to get myself back into shape I found this place on Yelp, and all the 5 star reviews made me a little wary. Then I actually started training there. As everyone else has said, they deserve their stars. The place is clean, which is a nice change from most places I checked out. The trainers and owner are all nice, knowledgeable, and look the part. I can't be trained by someone who looks like they need training. I was COMPLETELY out of shape when I showed up, and just a couple months later I feel great. The workouts are never boring, there's always something different, and I always leave feeling my body was pushed to the max. I'm training with Sean, and this guy knows his s***. Not only does keep me motivated, but keeps an eye on my form so I don't get hurt. I'm focusing on improvement, not just hitting a weight number, and he's really good at updating me on my progress. Personal training isn't cheap, but it's worth the investment to get a clear idea of how to work out smarter. Go there, throw your money at them, and sweat like a champ. read more

Soul Train has changed my life, for real! I've been going to this gym since early August when my friend convinced me to try out Jonathan's Crazy 8s class on Tuesday night. I was hooked IMMEDIATELY. I have struggled to get into a regular workout routine for the past six years (since graduating high school), but Crazy 8s was the perfect kick in the butt for me, and I've gone basically every Tuesday night since. The class is super challenging - I am almost always sore the next day - but Jonathan is a great instructor and he does an amazing job of switching up the exercises every week and blending new stuff with old stuff to keep it exciting. My friend and I have also begun doing one session of personal training a week with Jonathan. We purchased an 8-session "60 minute 2Fit" package. I'd never really thought about doing personal training until I met Jonathan, because I never felt like it was worth shelling out the $$$, but my mind is totally reversed on that now. I used to think I knew a good amount about fitness, lifting, etc., but I have learned SO much from Jonathan in just three sessions and I always feel like I've gotten my ass kicked when I get home (in a good way). At ~$55 an hour, it's obviously significantly more expensive than a regular gym membership, but you really get what you pay for. The one-on-one (or two-on-one, in my case) attention can't be beat. I also did a price comparison with the BSC personal training rates and Jonathan charges less. So there's that! Other things that are awesome about Soul Train... the pricing model is so key - you buy a package of classes that is good for a year, so if you skip a week it' s not wasted money (like regular monthly gym memberships). If you buy 10, it's $10 a class, but the drop-in rate is $14 which I think is reasonable. And Jonathan is always running some deal where your first class is free. There is also a good variety of classes available and they cater to the working crowd - early evening start times. I've tried the Yoga classes with Erica, Lynne, and Daiva and I liked all of them, and I've also gone to Crazy 8s with Pat and Kourtney. They both run their Crazy 8s classes differently than Jonathan, but they're both great! If you can't tell already... I love this place. It is seriously the best thing to happen to me fitness-wise. read more

I've been going to Soul.Train for a couple of years now and have had a great experience. I do personal training there mostly and attended a few classes. I have built strength, lost some weight, and toned over the last couple years due to the dynamic workouts I get from my trainer. He always has varied workouts for me and takes suggestions when I want to work on something in particular. The gym is never busy, its clean, and everyone is super friendly. I highly recommend this place! read more

Given the variety of classes and consistent quality, $14 per drop-in class or $100 for a 10-pack is well worth it! Sometimes there are deals on class packs as well. This is cheaper than drop-in passes at most yoga studios, and the class quality is way better than what you'd find at gyms like BSC. Except for the Zumba classes, I've found the class size and time to show up to get a good spot to be reasonable. The weekday ones are a little less crowded than the Saturday one. Crazy 8's, though extremely popular, does have a limit based on the number of stations, so you don't have to show up 20 minutes early for that one. 1) Zumba: 3 times a week with Erica Bornstein, who is *amazing*, and now a new Friday 5:30 class! 2) Vinyasa Yoga: 2 times a week with Erica Bornstein (vinyasa similar to BBY, Sweat & Soul--she also teaches there), once a week with Kristen Khederian, once a week with Lynne Carr (slower paced but very effective), and once a week with Daiva Yee. I like that there are both Saturday and Sunday options now because it's a great complement to weekend long runs. 3) Pilates: 2 times a week with Meg Hughes-Garvey. I've only been once but I think it would be good to add on to Erica's yoga (Wednesday) or Daiva's yoga (Sunday), which both follow the Pilates class. 4) Crazy 8's (regular, Bells Out, or Nasty Nines): Tabata and strength training. I love this class but always hurt for two days after! 5) Bootcamp: Only been once, but it definitely is of the same quality as Crazy 8's. read more

I love this gym! It's the first time I have consistently worked out in my life and have been working out for the last year because of the great trainers, classes, and community at Soul.Train.Fitness! read more

The reviews on this site are filled with superlatives. They are all correct ... leaving me with little more to say. The personal trainers here are highly skilled and knowledgeable. They reflect the passion for fitness embodied by Soul.Trains's founder Jon Medeiros. John has brought the best of the best to his studio. Besides personal training, Soul.Train offers a wide assortment of classes each of which has a loyal and growing following. Zumba, Yoga, and my favorite, "Bells Out" ... a creative 45 minute workout using kettle bells. If you are serious about health and fitness for body and soul, this is the place. read more

I come every week and get an awesome workout, but the Crazy 8's: Nasty 9's class with Scott on 9/29 literally kicked my ass! I can barely walk, it hurts when I cough or sneeze and I love this feeling!!!! read more

Let's face it: There are lots of places to choose around here for a workout, whether in a class, on your own, or with a personal trainer. Amid all the options, Soul Train Fitness is something rare: a totally professional, hardcore fitness studio that believes in providing its customers exceptional service and respect. Whether you are a competitive triathlete or complete fitness noob, Jonathan Medeiros and his team will help you achieve your fitness goals and then take them further -- without any of the drama, putdowns, or ripoffs that have unfortunately become too common in the industry. I've been working out with Fern Bent-Mullings, one of Soul Train's premier personal trainers, and I have experienced this combo of hardcore professionalism and kindness every time that we meet. Fern is exceptionally gifted at teaching and motivating others to achieve their best: During each session, he provides a rigorous, creative workout circuit tailored to my strength and cardio levels, and then he adds in inspiring advice to sustain me through the week. When I arrive for a workout with Fern, I know that he'll push me to go hard, build muscle, and increase flexibility and balance. When I leave each session, I reflect on how much inner strength I've also gained from Fern's coaching. Soul Train is well-named. read more

5+ years, and I still love working out at Soul Train, so an update is overdue! The studio's grown, added many top-notch instructors, expanded the class offerings - all while maintaining its welcoming, non-corporate atmosphere. I'm most familiar with the personal training, which is top-notch. Jonathan, the owner, is exceptional at figuring out the best way to motivate each client. For me, it's been slow and steady progress - always careful of my bad knee, never intimidating - and I'm amazed at how strong I've become. Other clients train hard for a particular event, or train outdoors, or train with a buddy...whatever it takes to help them reach their goals. I'll close with same ending I used 5+ years ago...if you want a great workout in a facility where you're more than just a member number, give Soul Train a try. read more

Coming back to edit my review after having attended classes here for nearly 2 years. Not sure why but favorite instructors seem to fall out of favor and leave or scale back their schedules. It's too bad. My favorite Sunday Pilates class changed instructors-I am very sad. Also, prices went up b/c the rent apparently went up (which I thought was kind of an odd thing to convey to the client base). I'm fine with the prices but I will say that the studio should have a floor cleanly swept between classes and thoroughly cleaned nightly. Same with the bathrooms. That said, after so long taking classes here and spending a lot of my money, my favorite instructors are Meg (Pilates) and Lauren (Sweat). Both have great playlists, amazing energy, and big hearts. Meg taught the Sunday pilates for a long time and unfortunately is no longer doing it. Below is my first review: I have fallen in love with this small fitness studio. I've only taken three classes but they have all been great-(the Crazy 8s Nasty 9s edition was one of the hardest workouts I've ever done and I ran a marathon!)- and I look forward to planning my workouts at Soul Train and trying out their array of classes. Customer service is great. Their web site is informative, easy to navigate, and easy to use to book classes and make payments. The trainers are friendly and knowledgeable. And the clientele is really great, too. In fact, this might be what impresses me the most-the women (mainly women in the classes) are friendly, helpful, and supportive. I can't recommend Soul Train enough. If you're looking to change up your workouts or take some fun classes, check it out. read more

It just gets better and better here. If you want a different weekly butt kicking of a workout, then you need to get to Sweat with Lauren. You'll feel like you're going to die, but in a good way. She's so perky and positive you can't help but love her, even though she may in fact be trying to kill you... The class is lots of light weight, high rep, precise movement, and body calisthenics (I think this is the best way to describe it) She gives excellent corrections and modifications, and is always looking to improve form. Warning: class is primarily women though, so fair warning dudes. read more

Get here early if you want a spot on the floor. Really early! My Zumba class was great, but $14 for one class is beyond ridiculous.

I absolutely love this place. I take majority of the classes-- they are no joke, anyone who took a Crazy8/Nasty9 here will know what I am talking about. If you are a beginner, I recommend the Zumba classes. Personally I like Erica's Saturday hip-hop boot camp and Lauren's Wed night sweat class. Courtney's Tabata class is well balanced, Kristin's yoga flow complements fitness workouts very nicely. All these teachers play great music, if you are moved by the tunes like I do, that is a bonus. Also, every now and then they throw really cool deals ($80 for 10 class) which is great for Boston. read more

I come here for Zumba classes with Erica. This is the best zumba class you will ever take, I have been taking her class for 2.5 years and am still obsessed! Parking is really convenient, there is always free two-hour parking or a meter available. Being able to sign up online is awesome, you will never get there and not have a spot in class! Make sure to sign up for saturday morning Zumba early though, Erica's class always fills up! read more

I am working with Anthony Ortiz and he is the best trainer I have ever met. I was a professional dancer for ten years and studied anatomy and basic medical treatment in college, Anthony is so much more knowledgeable about how to care for my body than I am. If I have an ache or pain from another workout (or his:) I come out of the studio feeling better and stronger. He doesn't avoid the injury, he treats it with exercise. It doesn't get any better than that. And I can't wait for boxing classes! read more

I loved my first time at Soul Train and will definitely be returning to train with Sam. Sam really pushed me when I thought I couldn't be pushed much further. His style of training incorporated endurance, condition, strength and the mind. He had me doing some olympic power snatch's after prepping me with some great conditioning exercises that would get my muscles ready for the workout. The studio itself is very zen and welcoming; you don't have to feel intimidated by the staff or other users. I would recommend Soul.Train for those of all fitness levels and would recommend training with Sam Nessenthaler if you are goal oriented, looking for someone to kick your ass into shape, if you are already in shape and looking to broaden your horizons - whatever! I look forward to my return and seeing what's in store ! read more

In response to Ashley B's comment, $14 for a Zumba class in this area is pretty standard. You must not go to a lot of them if you think that's "beyond ridiculous". One of my favorite Zumba classes that I've ever taken was with DanceFit in Brookline and they charge $15. If it's a fun, high-energy class with a great instructor and awesome music, then it's well worth it. I'm checking out Soul Train tonight, so I hope they don't disappoint! read more

A year ago, I was totally out of shape and far too overweight. I knew I needed more than just a gym membership or an occasional group class to make the big changes I needed, so I decided to try a personal trainer. After reading Yelp reviews for many different gyms and training studios, I decided to give Soul.Train. a try, and it has turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. I picked it because I liked that it was a small studio (no huge room of unfamiliar, intimidating equipment or having to work out in front of dozens of other people). What I didn't expect was how comfortable I would feel there, even though I was a total exercise novice, or how supportive the atmosphere would be. My trainer, Scott, has been a great match for me--always finding something I can do successfully, making sure I'm doing everything safely, and helping me to improve each week. And Jonathan, the owner, has done a great job in creating a space where everyone from beginners to advanced exercisers can find a place. Thanks to them, I have made exercise part of my daily routine even outside my training sessions, and I'm in the best shape of my life. This is a huge change for me, and I couldn't have done it without Soul.Train. read more

It took me a while to find the right path for my fitness journey. I tried to do the traditional gym membership where I paid some small monthly fee, only to find that I went there *occasionally*, until I went *never*. I tried to get home workout equipment, telling myself I would definitely workout on my own. What I failed to realize is that I needed accountability, I craved community, and I benefit from someone telling me what to do, with a set schedule. I had walked by the Soul.Train studio for two whole years before I walked in, and after two years of being an active member, I cannot say enough great things about them. The community is warm and welcoming, including the trainers who are knowledgeable and encouraging; the workouts are diverse and fun and challenging at whatever level you're on. It's a gym for every body, no matter where you are in your journey, or what your goals are. It has officially been a year of working and exercising from home, and Soul.Train has been with me every step of the way as they quickly pivoted to live Zoom classes in light of the shut down (it's the only one a truly look forward to). They have become such an important part of my routine; I don't know what I'd do without them, especially now! If you want to invest in yourself and move your body with a great group of humans, you should join Soul.Train. read more

Classes are expensive, so it's definitely worth it to get a 10 class pack to save a few bucks! I've taken yoga, "Sweat with Lauren", Zumba, and Pilates and I have never been disappointed!!! The instructors are all fun, encouraging, and they really know what they're doing. read more

Soul.Train.Fitness is an amazing gym! My sessions here are often the highlight of my day. A variety of classes are offered, including personal training, small group training, team training, and specialty classes like yoga, Pilates, and hip hop dance class. Each class fosters positive energy and camaraderie while assisting you to reach your individual fitness goals. Each workout is arranged by an instructor, so you don't have to figure one out on your own. All the instructors are wonderful--highly knowledgeable and supportive. I've become stronger and more energized since joining 9 months ago. Most importantly, I enjoy working out again. I highly recommend Soul.Train.Fitness! Come check it out! read more

I followed Erica here when she left BSC for the Zumba classes. They are the best around and she has a well-deserved cult following. Her yoga classes are top notch as well. Scheduling online is easy, as is parking. read more

I went to the cardio dance boot camp class and it was really fun. The only thing was that they don't really call out the moves, as it seems like everyone is a regular and already knows the routines for the songs so it was hard to keep up at times. Good price for a drop in though and a good workout read more

Pat Connolly is the best personal trainer I've ever worked with. If you need a trainer or are looking at group classes, I can't recommend Pat strongly enough. Pat is cool, supportive, reliable, and really knows his trade. I've never considered myself "athletic"; I've always been a bit intimidated by gyms and quick to slack off, but Pat's made working out something I really look forward to. Over the past two years, he's gotten me in the best shape of my life, taught me lots about exercise, helped me recover from an accident and surgery, and prepared me for events (most recently including a 1,000 mile bicycle tour). Workouts are interesting, well-rounded, and dynamic. They are crafted and constantly revised to match what's going on in the rest of my life: my interests, hobbies, health, job, etc.. Pat is always supportive, rooting me on, correcting me, explaining things patiently, pushing me when needed, and even training alongside me when I really need motivation. I leave every workout feeling like I've been pushed to the edge of my limits, but never over-exerted or pressured. Best of all, I leave each workout feeling like I've been hanging out with a friend for the past hour. Soul Train may be smaller than big gym chains, but the quality and personal touch more than make up for it. Like a lot of other reviewers, I came to Soul Train from BSC. I was a bit hesitant to give up all of the equipment and the ability to work out on my own at all hours of the day - but I've never missed any of it. The personal touch makes my workouts more effective, more regular, and more enjoyable. I'm never going back. Soul Train's equipment is high-quality, new, and well curated - I've never found myself wanting a machine I don't have. I also now take extreme cleanliness for granted. The staff is friendly, super cool and even take music requests. What more could you ask for? read more

This is perhaps one of the easiest reviews I will ever write: The studio is clean, filled with current and well maintained equipment, and the there is a good variety of exciting classes led by knowledgable staff (Erica in particular is a rockstar yogi) . However thats just the beginning of why I highly recommend Soul.Train. : In July I realized if I wanted to look good for my September wedding, I really needed to get a personal trainer. After walking past Soul.Train. for two weeks I finally went inside. Jonathan (owner) was really welcoming and after I explained what my goal was got right to work getting me info on the studio and personal training programs. And then I introduced me to Fern, who is my trainer. Fern in a word: inspiring. While I worried two months was not enough time to really get in shape for my wedding, Fern was excited and assured me there was more than enough time. And he was right! By my wedding day I proudly showed off my arms and had plenty of energy to dance the night away. Fern led me through workouts that challenged me (physically and mentally), built on the progress I was making and kept my mind guessing at what was next. I was never bored or able to phone it in. Fern's investment in my success was equal to mine, he really was my fitness champion. Finally (and this will come as no surprise to those who planned a wedding) Fern helped me use my workouts to blow off steam and relieve stress related to wedding planning. Fern is an incredibly positive person and his attitude is infectious! He encouraged me to focus my nervous energy on my workouts and I left Soul.Train. after each session relaxed and energetic. Plus he's really funny so workouts go by incredibly fast. The wedding is over now. But I'm still training with Fern because I can't imagine stopping the progress I've made. Plus, I'd hate to let Fern down! We are working on my new fitness goals (a 5K is on the horizon) and focusing on overall lifestyle changes. I'm taking my fitness journey seriously and feel I've got the support I need to be successful. I'm very happy with my choice to join Soul.Train and I think you will be too. read more

I had a great yoga experience here at their Tuesday night class (taught by Davia). Low, peaceful music, the positions weren't too too challenging, and friendly people (it was a very full class and we had to be careful not to hit each other). The space itself was very well appointed, and even in the dead of Winter it made me feel a little like I was at a retreat in Northern California. read more

I've been training with Anthony for 3 years; since the days of Gold's Gym. When he moved to the BSC, I, without hesitation changed gyms with him. Then transitioned with him through a tough outdoor winter and finally to soul.train. You may ask yourself why exactly I would continue like this, but the answer is easy for me. I've found a trainer who cares more about my physical performance than I do. He is attentive to what I need, where my limits are and exactly how to push those limits! Even when I whole-heartedly resist! I can't say enough about him as a trainer or as a person. HIs enthusiasm and encouragement is what keeps me in the gym and he is always on hand for random questions and crazy new ideas! When we started workouts at soul.train he told me "You get what you pay for". Typically, I trust what he says with minimal questioning (just to be devil's advocate). However, he is TOTALLY WRONG in this scenario. I'm getting far and away much more than what I'm paying for. I have found a complete balance between his personal training sessions and group classes. I take his bootcamp and body's pure movements classes in addition to my training! And I am obsessed with all of it. I am getting amazing workouts and amazing results for what I consider to be a small price for classes and personal training from Anthony! The gym is sunny and friendly and I really feel like I have a personal friendship with the other trainers and clients as well. It's a perfect place for someone who has never joined a class or gym to be comfortable as they learn as well as a great place for people who have been working out for years to improve their fitness! You will not find rows and rows of treadmills or those clunky machines that likely intimidate you. What you will find is equipment that will get you in shape and a gym full of professionals who will show you how to use it! I am definitely a happy customer and you will be too! read more

After a long plane trip and severe jet lag going to Daiva's Vinyasa yoga class was sheer bliss. It was the perfect combination of stretching and relaxation, with just the right amount of Vinyasa flow to make the class feel like a real workout. Daiva gave precise instructions which were easy to follow and her music playlist was lovely. I wished I lived closer - I would definitely be a regular. Go if you have the chance! read more
