“This review is long overdue. I've been seeing Stephanie for years. Yes, she's the best pilates teacher, but I feel that designation still doesn't describe all of what she brings. Stephanie has helped me really come home to my own body in both awareness and movement. She's truly taught me how to "use the whole system" through her playful, creative, and dynamic approach. On top of her pilates expertise, her experience and intuition about each person's unique body is a true gift. Also, she hosts AWESOME workshops with really special guests at her studio. Thank you, Stephanie!“

“Amazing clinic and service! The whole team is great. I trust them very much. Shoutout to Gabriel!“

“This gym has been an incredible place to train. The facility is always clean, the equipment is well maintained, and there’s a great mix of machines, free weights, and cardio options. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable, and the overall atmosphere is motivating without feeling intimidating. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, it’s a supportive environment that helps you stay consistent and focused on your goals. Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a positive and results-driven workout space.“

“Simply put - LIFE CHANGING.

My background - I've never lifted weights, I've never been one to exercise. But this little shop of miracles - they changed all that.

They took a terrified beginner (or even lower than beginner if such a term exists), and helped him fall in love with the exercise, with the workouts, with the process, with the philosophy.

I'm not kidding when I say that my first day - I was just worried my leg would go shooting across the room on my first machine. But the staff was patient, detailed, and thorough. They made sure I knew exactly what I was doing, and they were watching everything cautiously to make sure I was safe and my form was ok.

That was a year ago, this week.

One year later - I can't believe how far I've come.

When I started, I just had a simple goal - I'd like to be able to do one squat. Now I can do a half dozen without even focusing on it.

A myriad of little changes to my life, my health, my lifestyle - all these little improvements that make everything so much better than it's ever been. I'm emotional just thinking of the process...

And truly - it just comes down to the trainers, the staff - they're my guides, my scouts, my mentors in this journey. They never tire of my asking question after question about how to better my form, how to improve my technique, and I owe them so much for that.

I'm a full convert now. Full stop. As long as I'm physically and financially able to - I can't imagine ever stopping this process.

THANK YOU to every one at the Strength Shoppe (Jazzy, Adal, Anwar, Derek, EVERYONE) for helping this one man find a path in his life he didn't even know he needed, and never would have thought he could love so much.“

“I have nothing but incredible things to say about LM Fitness and their semi private training program! Jason and his team are so skilled at what they do. They care about helping you meet your goals and they don’t want you to get hurt doing it ? most importantly the team is FUN which makes it much easier to motivate yourself to get in there and get it done.“

“I worked with Lorena and her assistants at MOTI for 21 weeks during my recovery. I was truly happy and appreciative of the care, kindness, support and treatment that I received. I’ve had physical therapy at several other places in the past and now that I’ve been here, should I ever need treatment again, MOTI is the place I would choose.“

“This is such an amazing gym! I have totally transformed my body and feel 20 years younger! The coaches are amazing! They keep you energized and coming back for more!“

“Lifestyles for Health Physical Therapy - Cindy's clinic, gave me the comfort and mobility that I was very fearful of not having after a trip and fall injury to my arm. My therapist, Shiva, made the entire process so much more comforting and welcoming. She made sure that in all aspects of recovery, I was secured. Each exercise was explained, and most importantly, she made sure to ask how I felt before and after the treatments. You would never leave your appointment without feeling better.“

“As professional dancers, we rely on Jeremy to keep us performing at our peak. His sessions provide both immediate and lasting relief every time. I truly appreciate the care, attention, and personalized approach he brings, along with the valuable education that empowers us to take better care of our own bodies.“

“Erik is one of the best instructors at Barry’s! He brings so much energy to the class, makes it feel like a small group, he’s hands on to help with form, he encourages us to show up for ourselves, and then he wraps the class with thoughtful wisdom to walk away with as we cool down. Always a 11/10 class!“

“Lorenz was friendly and very knowledgeable. The Physical Edge is very well equipped, and has a great staff!“

“I have been going to Carina’s for 3 years now. My session is an hour and starts with 10 minutes of cardio, followed by core, then arms/legs etc. A few people come in every half hour and so there ends up being around 3-6 people working out at any given time. But she prescribes different exercises for each person based on your individual strength and needs. I started going here toward the end of the pandemic because she diligently wipes down all the machine after each person uses it. One of the best things about Carina’s is she creates a very friendly and social environment. It’s the reason I have been so consistent about my two times per week! Everyone enjoys talking to each other and I look forward to catching up with my new friends all the time! She offers sessions Mon/Wed evenings and most mornings.“

“20 minutes twice a week is perfect for my busy lifestyle. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, and make it enjoyable versus feeling like a chore.“

“I was diagnosed with a shoulder labrum tear after a weightlifting accident. The doctor recommended trying physical therapy and I ended up going to 1 PT. After several weeks of guidance and therapy from Andrea, I'm now back lifting even heavier than prior to the accident. Andrea is knowledgeable, professional, encouraging, engaging, and has a great sense of humor. The therapy sessions are challenging and fun. The staff at 1 PT are friendly, courteous, and kind. I highly recommend them.“

“I worked with Jason for about two months with the goal of learning how to lift properly, feel comfortable in a gym setting, and build strength safely through progressive overload.

I now feel much more confident going to the gym on my own and actually knowing what I’m doing. Highly recommend if you’re looking to build a solid foundation.“

“I worked with Armand and Jesus for a couple of months after suddenly experiencing sharp pain in my forearms and knees with almost any activity. Armand was able to pinpoint the root cause of my pain and walk me through exercises and lifestyle changes that made a real difference and helped me maintain progress. Jesus asked thoughtful questions and paid close attention to small details in my form that made a big impact on my results.

They are both skilled professionals and also very honest. When I no longer needed treatment, no one pushed me to continue. That by itself gives me confidence to return if I ever need help again. The front office team is also super friendly, positive, and helpful with scheduling and insurance questions - all around, a great experience, highly recommend!“

“I have been training with Emily, an amazing personal trainer, for 6 months. She's not only incredibly knowledgeable but also super kind-hearted. Emily's customized workouts and genuine care have made a huge impact on my progress. Her positivity and support create a motivating environment. With Emily, I've gained confidence and achieved fitness goals I never thought possible. She's not just a trainer, but an inspiration.“

“I love this gym! I've been attending small group classes here for 10 months and I can tell I've gotten much stronger. The teachers are great. They are attentive and helpful, and they prioritize safety and doing movements correctly. The classes are a great size, and are fun and never get boring. I was new to strength training when I joined, and I've learned so much from Lucy and all of the teachers. I highly recommend Peachy Strong for women of all ages and abilities!“

“Best gym ! i highly recommend great staff fun environment great equipment! Very gay friendly as well! I use to go to equinox and this gyms is far superior“

“I've had experience with several physical therapists over the years (don't ask), but Catz and especially my therapist Sang Won Lee have been the best, most professional i have been treated by.“

“I was referred to Haig for his reputation as a great chiropractor, and I discovered he also has extensive knowledge of fitness and training. His approach is highly intuitive--he can pinpoint exactly where my pain originates and then teaches me how to prevent it from returning. Working with him has made me much more aware of my muscles and movement. Now, I can feel my muscles working during workouts without experiencing pain afterward. Haig is exactly who I needed to take my workouts to the next level while effectively managing pain before it becomes a bigger issue.“

“May son has been working out with Dan for 14 years now. He started when he was still in high school and Dan been his constant since then. Not only has Dan helped my son physically, but also with his mental support as well. Dan is understanding and patient. His encouragement and positive approach is a demonstration of how much Dan cares about his client. He is definitely one of a kind! I would recommend Elite Fitness as a 5 star place to train and work out.“

“I have trained with Zoe at RITUAL and it has been life changing/ transformative. Zoe is an incredible trainer and the space is gorgeous. My body has transformed and the way I understand fitness has evolved completely. I saw Zoe before, during, and after my first pregnancy and she moved through all of those (very different) phases seamlessly and motivated and supported my fitness goals and evolving body throughout. Zoe also trains a few other people I know and she tailors the trainings to everyone differently based on their needs. I truly could not recommend Zoe and RITUAL fitness more highly.

Also I always had an easy time parking and could go get coffee or lunch after on York Street! A++ spot.“

“Ive been a member of this gym for a few years already. Its nice that small changes have been made over the course of the years. (better equipment placement, outdoor expansion, addition of equipment). I never have to wait for things and its not overcrowded at most times. The weights are more or less always re-racked and Steven does a great job making sure everything is in place and ready for the gym goers. I'm not a client of Stevens but I do see him actively training clients with good instructions on technique vs just chatting about random things which ive seen before at other gyms. He might be good for you if youre looking for a trainer who will guide you through proper form and technique.“

“Training at this private gym has been an absolute game changer. If you’re looking for a truly elevated fitness experience — one that’s personalized, peaceful, and ultra-professional — this is the place.

From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the difference. The space is immaculate, beautifully designed, and intentionally low-traffic, which makes every session feel calm, focused, and productive. No waiting for equipment, no overcrowding — just you, your goals, and a team that’s fully invested in helping you reach them.

The trainers here are on another level. Every session is tailored to your body, your goals, and your progress. Whether it’s strength training, mobility, rehab, or performance work, they bring an unmatched level of knowledge and attention to detail. I’ve seen better results here in a few months than I did in years at larger commercial gyms.

What I also love is the privacy. Whether you're a professional, a public figure, or just someone who values discretion and comfort while working out, this space allows you to train in peace without the typical gym distractions.

The equipment is cutting-edge, the atmosphere is inspiring yet relaxed, and the entire experience is built around you. It feels less like a gym and more like a private wellness studio.

If you're serious about your health and want a premium, personalized experience, this private gym is hands-down the best investment you can make in yourself.“

“I started training with STRUT as I wanted to lose body fat, tone up and increase muscle mass. When I started my body fat was 31.8 and as of today I am at 22.7 and delighted with the results. I know that a regular gym is not for me, but STRUT creates an environment which they gently encourage and completely support me. STRUT is great for building your confidence in an environment that is focused on learning and achieving your personal goals.I would like to shout out to my personal trainer Olivia, Jason and the entire team of STRUT????So grateful ??❤️??“
