I've been a member at SYN since December 2012. Here's my two cents to share about my positive experience: *APPOINTMENTS FOR SESSIONS- Awesome system. You schedule your weekly session(s) online, and can cancel just as easily if your schedule changes. It turns the question of "should I go to the gym today?" into "I better get going- I have an appointment at 8am today". No procrastination when it comes to exercising! *NUTRITION- The truth is, nutrition is just as, if not more important than exercising. You can't change your body if you don't eat right. Simple as that. SYN is great- they help you figure out your meal plan in order to get EFFECTIVE, SUSTAINABLE results. They don't give you a "diet" to follow, or any crazy gimmicks- they give you a way to change your eating habits for the better. SYN helped me figure out a meal plan specific for me, taking into account my body type, how much I exercise, what type of exercise I do, etc. And it's been working great and getting results! *WORKOUTS- The workouts are the BEST. I usually burn around 600 calories in a session, and in just a few months my arms, legs and core are noticeably stronger. The trainers are constantly pushing me to do new exercises and try heavier weights, and I've been able to do more than I would ever even THINK of trying on my own! That being said, they are always respectful of your limits. Everyone at SYN says that if can't do exactly what the person next to you is doing it's fine, as long as you are giving 100%. On the cardio side, they have you doing interval training, which has been the best and most effective way to burn calories and get your heart-rate up! The other great thing about the workouts is that you NEVER do the same workout twice! SYN really understands that changing it up and never letting your muscles get used to a specific workout routine is the fastest way to get results. (And it's worth mentioning that this ensures you'll never get bored!) ***There's no magic exercise plan that will get you results without any work, but if you're willing to put in the effort at the gym and get serious about adjusting your eating habits, you'll get results with SYN! read more

I love love love this gym!!! First of all, I look incredible!! :) I've lost over 10 lbs in about 3 months. I went from 163 to 152 which is pretty sexy on 5'8". ;) I've been a size 10-12 for awhile. I'm now a size 8!! Legit, not holding my breath to zip up, honest to goodness size 8! What makes Syn so effective is the workouts are different every week. No week has EVER been the same. Of course the exercises used are often familiar, but the reps, weights, order and combos are endless! I'm SO HAPPY! :) Secondly, the trainers are AWESOME! Jackie is my favorite... great personality, always positive, and kicks my hiney! They all know everyone's names which really makes me feel motivated... like they care enough to build a relationship which makes me look forward to going. They are funny and entertaining, constantly checking in on form, and change the workouts on the spot to make it harder or easier based on what you can handle. I've seen all four clients modified in different ways sometimes. The trainers are goooood. Finally, the space is cozy. It's clean, organized, and modern. The owner clearly is very invested in his business. He's often around and constantly asks people for input to keep updating based on what we want. For example, he's just added this really fun monthly challenge where we all compete with each other tracking extra exercise and eating goals. And there's no extra charge. It's a given part of the culture to push us and encourage us to inspire each other. It's a close community we all feel a part of. I couldn't recommend Syn more highly. I've actually tried other places like GISFW, and they just don't compare. You should totally try it out! :) Sarah read more

After gaining 60lbs during my second pregnancy I needed to do something to get the weight off. If you are a mother you know especially with the second child it isn't easy. Since joining Syn a year ago I not only lost the baby weight, I am in my pre-pregnancy clothes and I am also in the best shape of my life. I have always exercised however, I have never been more consistent than I am now. Exercise has become part of my lifestyle as well as eating healthy. Since joining Syn I have lost 15 inches, been able to run 5k's and I am running a 5 mile road race in October, I can do 50 burpees (if you don't know what they are google them and try them out for yourself, you will see why it's a big deal) I can do 20 pushups (not on my knees) and 2 1/2 minute planks. The trainers are very knowledgeable not only about your workout routine and form but also nutrition. I have learned so much that I am also able to workout on my own and know that I am making progress. They are always having new challenges within in the gym that are fun and challenging. I won $500 for the January challenge and also won $50 for member of the month. They push you to push yourself to your furthest limit but not to the point where you don't want to go back. They have become like family to me and I thank everyone at Syn for not only changing my life but also helping me become healthy and in the best shape of my life! If you are looking to change your life, get stronger or meet goals you have never met before, Syn is the way to go! read more

I was a gym rat during my high school and college days. All of my lifting was geared towards power as I was a football player and the gym was only used to improve my strength. During that time I gained lots of weight and maintained it. I was used to heavy lifting and short repetitions. After I graduated from college I began my Master's Degree and I had no time for the gym. During this period I would go every once in a while but I would do the same routine heavy lifting and short reps. After graduating from my Master's degree I had gained quite a significant amount of weight and could not seem to get it back down. I signed up for SYN gym not knowing what to expect but very interested in their idea of changing the way one lifts. In my time here I have lost weight to the point that I have been doing constant shopping as much of the clothing I purchased through graduate school no longer fits me. I have improved my eating habits, my body looks more tone and overall I feel great about myself. It is a gym where regardless if you were a gym rat or a first timer all can come and get a great work out in a personal setting where you are being pushed and really get back the results with the effort you put in. I was skeptical at first but after seeing in my own body and health such huge improvements over a 3-month period and knowing that it will only get better, it has made SYN gym a truly wonderful and rewarding experience. read more

I love Syn Club. I've been a member for about 7 months, and I've had a great experience. Other reviewers have posted the details, so I'll skip that, but what I'll say is that I love the fact that when I walk in, any staff members that are there say hello to me by name and know what's going on with me. It's true that cost is a bit higher than some people are comfortable with, but at the same time, the value for the money is excellent. I was a member of a gym for a fairly long time that was less expensive every month, but I didn't make any progress because no one was pushing me, and I really need that (I also do really well with the accountability factor, because I'd never miss an appointment I made). I did well at my former gym when I had a personal trainer, but I couldn't afford to do that for more than one set of sessions. Also, at 4 months pregnant, I still feel very comfortable going there and I know that the trainers are all willing and able to modify that day's routine to one that I can handle. I also feel confident that when I start back after pregnancy, I will be able to make great progress getting back into shape. Not every gym is right for everyone, but if you're serious about getting in shape and need some extra motivation either getting there or giving it your all when you are there, and are willing and able to put some monetary value on that, this gym is probably a great choice for you. read more

I have been an ACTIVE member since 2009. When I first signed up I thought I would learn some new workouts then take that knowledge back to a regular gym but 4 years later and after great success I am still working out at Syn Club. I was surprised to see some of these negative reviews. I think the saying "you get out what you put in" comes to mind when I see these comments. I work out 3x a week at Syn and try to lead a healthy lifestyle but I have hit plateaus and had many times when I needed extra motivation. This is when I reach out to the trainers & owners, who will listen and offer advice and/or suggestions. Every time I have done this I have received personalized and genuine help whether it is face to face, over the phone, or an email to check in (a service hard to find at a chain gym). It is a small group training program so during busy time slots the trainer's attention is shared among the group, but if you seek out extra help you will get it. The workouts constantly change and evolve so I don't have to think or worry if I am getting a total body workout. I just need to show up and put my best effort in. No the facility isn't as large as some gyms with extra amenities but they make the space work. Scheduling workouts might not work for everyone but it is the best way to ensure you get to the gym without making excuses. I highly recommend Syn but you won't know until you try! read more

I recently had my second child. And let's just say that things don't look like they used to. After going on an embarrassing trip with girlfriends to PR, I decided to make a change. I initially joined Synergy for 1 month to see what would happen. Was I really prepared to give up the couch and TV during my free time? My first month ended earlier this week. I lost 13 lbs!!! I just signed up for a year!! Everyone who works there is amazing!!! It feels like everyone there is just as invested in my success as I am. All of the trainers are great motivators!! They really work to make you comfortable while encouraging you to push yourself. I thought I was just joining a gym. But I got much more!! It's nutrition advice, stretching techniques, and honestly a lifestyle change. I am excited about the summer! Not just because I expect to look AMAZING but because as a healthy woman, I will be a more active mom! If you need to change your life, start here!! Really!! It's been the best decision I've made in a long time! read more

I have been a member for a while. When I joined, I had fallen off the fitness wagon and thought I would stay for the introductory period and move on to a cheaper chain gym. However I was hooked on the individual training and motivation. The on line scheduling works for me, and there are always last minute openings, so you can schedule as little as half an hour ahead. The owners show a personal interest in all the members, and offer various prize contests and out of gym activities such as 5k road races to keep things interesting. The most important feature of the gym is the personal training. You would not join for the equipment. At the moment they have a great staff of trainers, each with their own individual style. Their workouts are challenging, and while there is a weekly program posted, none of them follow it without modification. If you like a place " where everyone knows your name", then this is a good experience. read more

I've been going to Syn for about 3 months now and just signed up for another 3. The owners are great - they listen to your feedback and try to make things better whenever possible. Ex/ the closed captioning on one of the TVs wasn't working, which made me never want to get stuck with that machine. The owner spent all afternoon (according to him!) trying to fix it and now it works. This sounds like a small thing but it made a big difference considering the TV is the only thing that gets me through workouts. The trainers are also great, combining knowledge with kindness and great senses of humor to help you through the workout. Another plus, you book your appointments online so can literally wait until that day/afternoon to decide when you want to go in. I've been losing weight, SLOWLY, but according to everyone that is the "healthy" way to do it so I'm happy. read more

As I end this year, I would like to take a few moments to thank my trainers at Syn Club (Synergy Fitness). I started training with Synergy in 2010 (December) and at that time I had chronic backache and was recommended by my doctors to ensure that I work out with proper form. Trainer's at Synergy (especially Sean, Jamie, Jacqui, Brad and Ricky) ensured that I not only train with a perfect form but also get more fit. I have been regularly training at least 3-4 days a week. In the last three years, I have run multiple short distance races (5K, 10k, 5 mile, etc) and recently completed a half marathon. Wanted to acknowledge the tremendous contribution Syn Club has made to my fitness level and also enhance my enthusiasm to train regularly. Every penny paid to Syn and every minute spent at Syn is truly worth it !!! read more

I love this place. I've been a member since the day it opened, and I'm hooked. I joined to supplement my running and reduce injuries by adding weight-bearing exercises to my routine. Since joining, I've missed ZERO races due to injury, and I've even lost weight! Why does it work for me? Because I'm naturally unmotivated to do push-ups, chin-ups and squats, and I need the trainers to be my external motivation. I get individual attention and encouragement at a reasonable price, and I like going. I spent too many years lazily cycling through nautilus circuits, never enjoying it and never pushing myself. I belonged to gyms open 24 hours/day, but never went. Now I go 3x/week. I need SYN! read more

I joined SYN back in January to get myself back into shape and to prepare myself for a Police physical exam. Without SYN I would have never passed my physical exam, I not only lost about 15 lbs, but I have toned up and have become stronger, probably the strongest I have ever been. I now look forward to my workouts, SYN has given me the motivation I was looking for to get myself back into "high school shape." I do not think I could ever go back to a "chain gym" after my experience at SYN, I have now been at SYN for a little over 9 months and am happy with both the trainers and owners. read more

I love this place! I have only been a member for just shy of three months and already my body is completely changing shape! I may be one of the laziest human beings ever.( one year membership to a "regular gym" that I used five times,lazy) and I have been there three times a week consistently because the routine is always changing. The trainers are great! They stay on you to keep you motivated to reach your goals (with out wanting to kill them.) I would recommend this program to anyone, regardless of their fitness level or goals! Xo read more

The most fun you will have at a gym. Interval training between weights and cardio. Never on the cardio machines for more than 14 minutes! Average client can burn up to or MORE than 750 calories in the hour. 12 sessions a month of small group personal training. Averages out under 20 dollars a session. Start the new year off and go for a free consultation. This will change your life. Having a well balance nutrition plan, working out with weights to get stronger muscles and using cardio to burn fat is what SYN will do for you!!! read more

i love this personalized program with friendly, knowledgable and supportive trainers . i get there because i have made an appointment and commitment. i keep going because it is convenient, fun and friendly. i have never stuck with a program for this long, nor had such success at an appropriate rate !! i have been a member for about 6 months and have never had to fight for a machine. there are 1-3 people during a time slot, so i get individual attention and different exercises or routines each time, so it stays fresh. read more

If you're looking for intense training, Syn club is the place to go! The trainers are great, the people who work out there are friendly, and you get very motivated by seeing the progress of the other members. Syn is a very small, studio gym, not like the factories you normally see. The atmosphere is great and the trainers make it a point to get to know you and they work you out to your style and your fitness needs. And it's BEYOND affordable when compared to typical personal training places. read more

Since I am in my fifties and an avid golfer, it is imperative that I do fitness training to stay on top of my game and of course my health. Syn Club is a perfect fit for me and training with Brad Bishop has produced such positive results. I am so much happier, healthier and look forward to my training sessions at Syn Corp. and has becomeit is so much a part of my routine. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for me!!
