Ladies, Allow me to share with you the reasons why I love Uplift Guide Fitness: 1. I feel safe and comfortable -around only ladies! (Never felt like that in mixed gyms before) 2. The trainers are super! Always assisting me, making sure that I do exercises in the right form no only to avoid injuries, but also to get results- one day Chris watched me doing a exercise with weights and she corrected by posture by a couple inches and BAM! What a difference!! -sore for 3 days! But results within 2 weeks!! Yah me!!! Trainers are literaly 'super trained" and accessible when I have questions! They always explain with clarity what is expected from each exercise and the way that it works in specific muscles, including the right weight, pace, and "very important" -control over the movement! And believe me! If you do exactly that they guide you to do --You will see results in not time! 3. The classes!! -they are fantastic! I love all the classes but -yoga, barre, or cardio classes are my favorites, they have taken my weight training to the next level. There are so many to choose from! The instructors are fun and passionate! they don't motivate, they inspire! 4 .The weight training programs -I love that my routines change, I never bore! I may sometimes modify the weight or the number repetitions but focus on the good form and then -BAM again!! my body changes too!! Trainers teach me the whole routine for the first time and record my profile. They help me to track my progress and create realistic goals. 5. Motivation -I am not only surrounded by excellent trainers, but also by strong ladies. I have witness the transformation of many ladies. I know where they started at and where they are at now with their fitness! It helps to see committed ladies working out so hard and watching their progress -and that they notice mine too! At other gym that I used to go, I was intimidated by the trainer, or other users - not here! I look forwards to go! I have a gym ready bag with me all the time! That's not all; Uplift has incredible challenges with prizes! (Although, the ultimate best price ever is the results -and finally fit in those jeans). 6. The facilities are super clean, and the fitness room is "state of the art" with "on demand" classes to accommodate my schedule! There is a big screen with a projector and I can select the class that I want to do and the duration at my convenience! 7. Uplift is 24 hours! For a couple months during the winter, I worked all day ! But I was going to the gym super early or after hours and get me work out done! -hours of operations are never a problem. 8. I never have to wait for machines or equipment! Uplift has enough of everything! I have my working out buddy and we both do the same routines when we are together. Yes!! Get a friend to go work out with you!! This makes every " burn" look super fun!! I have been a client from Uplift for over 6 months and now my body ask to be taken to the gym! and I can only put 5 stars to recommend this gym here, but it truly deserves 10. read more

Jill and Chris are wonderful at guiding you in your fitness journey. It's women only and you get the benefit of having workout plans that are geared towards you. It's a smaller gym, but the guidance is helpful in getting on track. There are classes such as yoga, tabata, and others to help you along. The downside is there are no showers (there is a locker room though), the machines could be updated, and the parking sometimes is annoying. But I prefer this gym over places like the Y because of the supportive atmosphere and no little kids playing on gym equipment. It's truly geared towards women which is nice. read more

Friendly and attentive....small and easy to follow individualized training program!!! Changes every four weeks.

I've been going here for only a couple weeks so far but gotta day I'm impressed. The owners know everyone on sight and provide very personalized service. Start with a meeting where they talk about where you are and your goals. Then provide a custom workout and nutritional guidance and walk you through everything carefully. Trainers are on site pretty much all the time and will help and advise any time. Every 12 visits you make an appointment to have them give you a new routine so you don't get bored and you keep making progress. Only downside is no showers but I'm ok with that given everything they do. BTW this is a women only gym. read more

I love this gym!! The fact that it's run by women for women is awesome because the people in the gym are just like me!! Having trainers on the floor and guiding you through your workouts is great. And making sure to change things up every few weeks keeps you from getting bored. This place is a one-stop shop with nutrition, resistance, cardio, classes and massages. Love it! read more

So grateful to have found this unique gym with trainers who care about me and my health. They offer personalized workouts designed to challenge me but not overwhelm me. I get a great workout in a supportive atmosphere and if I have questions or need help, there is someone there to give me guidance and encouragement. The owners, Jill & Chris are role models of healthy living. They walk the talk. And when you see them, you are reminded this really works! read more

For the majority of my adult life I've been a couch potato. The last time I truly exercised was in school, which was many years ago. Weight was never an issue for me. However, as I've gotten older my metabolism has slowed down and my weight has increased slowly but surely. I've gained enough where my body doesn't look how I want it to.This summer was when I finally decided that I have to do something about it. Enter UpLift Guided Fitness. Being I had never belonged to a gym before I toured almost all of the gyms in Woodbury to see which would be the best fit. As I was touring them I'd make my list of "pros and cons" afterwards and most of them seemed fine but I just wasn't excited about them. Lastly I toured UpLift. I had been emailing back and forth with Jill, one of the owners, prior to my tour with Natalie. I was already excited about this tour because through Jill I had a good feeling about the personal component that makes UpLift different than other gyms. After my tour with Natalie I was convinced that this gym was the one for me and I signed up for my gym membership a few days later. I'm now in my fourth month of membership at UpLift and it's still one of the best decisions I've ever made. Even though I had never worked out before, UpLift has made working out a part of my routine at least four days per week. Here are a few reasons that have made it easy for me to bring fitness into my life at UpLift: 1). The personal/support component. UpLift is a relatively small gym in size, but not in support. I wasn't expecting a gym experience to become so personal and supportive. The owners and trainers truly do get to know you and your goals. There is always a trainer on the floor available for questions or support. They give you as much support as you need and I appreciate that. Even a trainer saying hello and knowing my name makes me be more accountable for what I am doing during my workouts. It makes me want to try my hardest and do my best. I enjoy being part of a community of like-minded women with similar goals. 2). The variety. As part of UpLift membership is a personal strength training routine. I had never lifted weights in my life and was incredibly nervous and intimidated about this, but I have really enjoyed it. I have to honestly say that each new routine has totally kicked my butt, but as my body gets stronger and more toned it is definitely worth it. As a planner and lover of routine I like knowing what I am going to be doing at the gym on my strength training days and I enjoy the variety of the routines every month. There are also plenty of machines for cardio training and exercise classes offered to add even more variety. As someone who had not made health and fitness a part of their life prior to July, I would recommend UpLift in Woodbury as a place to start the journey. The people at UpLift make me want to reach my goals. Everyone at UpLift, but especially Jill, Chris, Natalie, and Christine, have been extremely supportive and encouraging. I now can't imagine not working out and I definitely could have never thought that in my wildest dreams four months ago! read more

I've been with UpLift since 2006 and can't bring myself to go anywhere else. This place totally rocks! The owners and staff are super knowledgable, there's always something to join or be part of in terms of classes and challenges, the atmosphere is welcoming, upbeat and encouraging. You will see women of all shapes and sizes on all different levels of their fitness journey. I've never felt intimidated. The personal one-on-one training you get is amazing and truly at a bargain price. For roughly the same monthly amount for a membership at the Y or Lifetime...etc. you get a personalized training plan and a one-on-one weightlifting appointment every 6 weeks with a trainer. I enjoy the fact that it is a women-only gym, as I feel completely relaxed and able to just focus in on my workout without feeling like my butt's being ogled by men. ;) The only possible downsides are there are no showers (but a beautiful locker room!) and no childcare. But for those with older kids the gym is located within the same building as Perpetual Motion Gymnastics and I've known many moms who have their kid enrolled in a class downstairs while they workout upstairs. (A word of warning, on weeknights the parking can get crowded because of Perpetual Motion and all the kids and parents coming after school). read more

Best place to workout for women only. Very clean and safe environment. Owners and trainers are knowledgeable in health, fitness and nutrition. Wide variety of classes offered although I have never taken advantage of one. read more

This is the best gym experience I have had, and I can honestly say it's the first gym that I have enjoyed going to on a consistent basis! I love the fact that it's small, caters to women, and is independently owned by women. It's a very supportive environment, for reaching your health goals. The trainers will work with you to come up with a customized training plan, modifying whenever needed. I really like having a set program designed for me, that I can do on my own time. I have also really enjoyed the restorative yoga classes; Tatjana holds amazing & healing classes! I love Uplift, and I recommend it to many women! read more

Uplift has been a refreshing change from the regular gym experience. I've never stuck with any gym membership I have had, because of lack of support. Having a trainer on the floor at all times has been the best thing to keep me motivated. I always question if I'm doing exercises correctly, and the trainer has always been there to help correct me. I'm so glad I've found a community of women that are the true definition of uplifting! read more

Upon a referral from my tenacious sister, i finally decided to give Uplift a try. I signed up for the 3 week trial not sure if I would continue. Much to my surprise I LOVE IT!! From your personally designed program to the studio classes, it is the perfect "gym" for me! The trainers are fabulous and are there to help you through your personalized program. Who said women in their fifties can't be fit! read more

I love this place. Uplift Guided Fitness is a great place for those who are trying to make a lifestyle change towards better fitness. The trainers are always available and ready to meet my changing needs. read more

I always knew that exercise was the missing link in feeling my best. I was very excited to have finally found a gym in Woodbury that I actually like to go to. I like the small size and the personal touch. There is always a trainer there to answer questions about my routine. One of my favorite features about Uplift is the ability to get a new workout routine each month as it keeps everything fresh. As a Health Coach, I will be referring all of my clients to this facility to fulfill their goals. read more

amazing options, classes, one on one help, trainers. the community and environment is unlike any other because of the women only aspect
