I have been training at Strength Lab since July, and I can't believe the difference I have seen in…read moreboth my performance in jiu-jitsu, and also my day-to-day strength and endurance. Once upon a time, I had major hip problems- it was so bad I could barely walk some days. Coach Kyle and the SLNH team not only got my hip back in shape, but I'm healthier and stronger than ever before. Coach Kyle's nutrition guidance (and general lifestyle guidance) got me back on a healthy track. I LOVE the customized programs, and even though there are other folks in the gym at the same time as me, I never feel awkward or pressured, only encouraged. The gym has changing rooms, a shower on site, and is super clean. Coach Kyle's dog Roma is always there to greet you with a wagging tail :). I work out with athletes from a variety of sports, people recovering from surgeries, young adults, fitness nuts, the average Joe, etc.- and they have all become like family. Can't recommend Strength Lab enough!

Diane assessed me, figured out a workout plan that really worked for me, helped me with my diet, taught me stretches, and gave me some things that I can do on my own. It's been a year now and my health has improved by a lot. I'm much stronger and more flexible now. I haven't groaned getting out of the car for 9 months. I can pick up 40lb bag at Home Depot without a second thought. I can keep up with my kid. My migraines are rare rather than weekly. This trainer has hugely impacted my life for the better. The gym itself is roomy, brightly lit, and clean. It doesn't smell like a gym at all. The customers and staff are all friendly and supportive. It's a very welcoming place and I'm always looking forward to my next session.

Men discreetly pleasuring themselves on the hot tub jets. Hot water in the showers comes and goes and one minute you're being scalded and the next you're being doused with cold water. Closes early. Parking lot nearly a quarter mile away. Too crowded. Otherwise, a great place with kind, knowledgeable staff, clean facilities and lots of programs and classes ... love the pool but not the stress of finding a lane or a time when it's not crammed with people.

When my last gym discontinued circuit training classes last December, I started a new search. I…read morecompiled a list of gyms to try that offered group exercise classes focusing on strength training and conditioning. I tried five of them and became a member of one for about a month. I decided it wasn't a good fit: the trainer was constantly on his cell phone and wasn't paying much attention to the class, and the workouts weren't varied enough for me so I kept looking. A friend of mine recommended Rockingham Crossfit in Londonderry, NH. I have been going there for about six months now, and I love everything about it. I was new to CrossFit and wasn't familiar with a lot of the movements so I was apprehensive at first. I was quickly put at ease by the coaches who are very knowledgeable, attentive and focused on correct form and movement. The workouts change from day to day and include high-intensity conditioning, weightlifting, and gymnastics movements. Of course, no one expects you to do a handstand on your first day, and there are many variations to each movement that you learn and master first before moving up in difficulty. The key is to go at your own pace and not to compare yourself to others since everyone's skill level is different. All the classes are super fun, and everyone, including the coaches, as well as all the members, are incredibly supportive and encouraging. Group sizes are small so the coaches are able to give everyone tips and correct their form. In addition to great workouts, Rockingham Crossfit offers an incredible atmosphere and organizes many fun events for their members throughout the year. I very highly recommend Rockingham Crossfit if you live in the area and are looking to take your fitness to the next level!

Three years ago I was 30 pound heavier and very unhappy with my appearance. I looked at my photos…read morefrom my son's wedding and was embarassed by my size 14 MOG dress that had to be let out to fit properly. Try as I might before the wedding I could not lose even a few pounds to make that dress fit. I was desperate. Never able to diet properly or feel comfortable in a "big gym" ($9.99 a month) A friend mentioned she was joining a new gym and asked me to go along with her. From the moment I stepped into GISFW I knew the program would help me. I have been a member of this gym for nearly 3 years! Have lost 30 pounds and have kept it off. I feel stronger and more confident. I have met women of all ages (16 - 75) and body types (very heavy - marathoners) There is a place for everyone because the trainers get to know you on a personal level. Read on if you want to know what Get In Shape for Women is really like. I have been going to this gym at least 3 times a week for the past 3 years and have trained with the owner as well as many different trainers, all closely supervised by the owner. Each time I train, if I give it my all, I leave sweaty, a bit sore but full of energy and confidence. This is not a typical gym. The owner, Terri, has dedicated her life to fitness and nutrition. She inspires, motivates, encourages and yes, harasses her clients. That is what many of us need. If you want to be coddled go into therapy. If you want good health and strength you need someone like Terri who will teach, push, and monitor you. The program is perfect for the busy woman who feels like she does not have time for a workout. If you can spare just an hour a day you can fit this program in to your schedule. I go on my way home from work, perfect for me. The gym works because of accountability. You have an appointment with a trainer. These are firm commitments. I would never skip my hairdresser or dental appointment without calling to cancel. The GISFW gym expects the same courtesy and commitment. I feel very guilty every time I have to call and cancel or reschedule. The trainer on the phone always tries to get me to reschedule instead of letting me skip a workout. This is good for me, it means I am committed and my workout is important. My typical workout is 30 minutes of intense weight training then 30 minutes of cardio with interval training. Both have been very effective for me. I may train with up to 3 other women but there have been times when I get the trainer all to myself. Imagine a personal trainer every time you work out! Even if you are sharing the trainer with 2 or 3 other women, you feel the personal attention. GISFW trainers watch clients closely and help them with good form, proper posture and adequate weight. They always challenge me but do not let me slack off. Women working out are just like children, we will look for opportunities to take short cuts. This will not happen at GISFW and that is why many, many women renew their memberships and continue to train there. After my second year at GISFW I thought I could save money and go to the "big gym" and train myself. I knew all the exercises to do and felt confident GISFW had given me the knowledge to train myself. I was so wrong. The first month I used the elliptical each visit but then was so intimidated to cross over into the weight training area. I did not see many women in that part of the gym. I sought out personal training at the "big gym " and learned that sessions with a trainer there were just as expensive as GISFW. So now I am back at GISFW and plan to keep going indefinitely. I can make it work in my budget because I value my health. It is a very expensive investment and not your typical gym. The cost also motivates me to keep going. It was easy to skip days at the $9.99 a month gym. It was also easy to be anonymous at that gym. I like feeling like a valued member who is greeted by name each visit. I need someone to follow my progress and give me nutritional tips. I value the workouts that Terri and her trainers are constantly researching and changing to keep me motivated. At my daughter's wedding my size 10 dress fit perfectly and I felt great. I am so grateful to GISFW for showing me that I can be fit and healthy if I work for it. Have a Healthy Day!

For me personally, my admiration for Terri and her group evolves around their dedication to assist, advise, educate, encourage and stimulate me towards reaching my goals.

I've noticed a dramatic difference in my athletic abilities and I can always count on the coaches to push me to my limits. They give great instruction and make suggestions according to my personal goals. When I started, I had no experience with boxing or kickboxing, now I am confident with my technique and I'm eager to learn more so I recently started jiujitsu and MMA training there as well. The coaches are friendly and no matter if you walk in knowing nothing or have some training already, you'll get an amazing workout and great results! My kids love the classes as well do I and my spouse.

Where to start. Being a 50+ year old woman, who hadn't had a hard work out in a long time and…read morereally wanting to get in better shape. I went in Feb of 2012 and took a free class. Dave worked us pretty hard. But it was such a good hard work out. I figured i better sign up for the next month then and there or I would probably find an excuse not to go back! LOL. The other women (i was clearly the oldest probably by about 15 years) were in various stages of getting in shape and there were some younger HS students as well. Every one of them made me feel welcome, there was no avoiding me because I was the oldest etc. In fact there was this particular exercise that we did and since I was the slowest i was still going to finish my 20 wall touches ( you had to do situps and then run and touch the wall so many times. ) I will NEVER forget how one of the youngest students and one of the 30 year old student , hopped down to the mat and finished them with me and pushed me on and the other students cheered. This isn't just martial arts at Spero's...;this is family. I went there for several months and only stopped when i got a new job with hours til 7 pm, but if I can move up my shift soon by a half hour, i will surely be back! Besides, I need more stripes! Yep I even earned a stripe or two! i also enjoyed going in the cage and working out and sparring! Boxing was my favorite part, the warm up jog my least favorite. When I needed to be pushed Dave knew it and the few things I wasn't able to do physically he knew I tried and that was all he would ask. If nothing else, see if he has any self defense classes coming up. We would do that on Saturdays and it was awesome!! Trust me, you will love this place. I have seen Daves kids classes and those kids have a blast and Dave has boundless energy and patience with them. I will say too that all the men that attend there are polite and eager to encourage everyone too. Its just a great vibe there. I miss all my fellow students and know that you haven't seen the last of me yet! xo
