“Four years ago, I retired and my gym closed within a few months. I was looking for some structure as I knew working out was beneficial to my overall health, but I had been lacking the motivation to do so. I spent most of my workouts on cardiovascular training, ignoring the weight training. My weight constantly fluctuated, my strength as I got older was poor and my endurance was almost nonexistent. I responded to a 6-week trial at Train 2 Xcel, hoping this might be the answer I was looking for, it was!The trainers were there to guide you. They take the time to know what you need, when to give that extra push, or realize that some days you might not be able to give 100%. They know how to motivate! It makes a big difference having a trainer work with you every session. I've had 2 surgeries during my four years here, and was able to return to the gym quicker, as they wrote up my workouts to help keep me moving and get back to where I was.One thing I did not expect to happen there, was the friendships I have made. Getting to know other members, working out with them, whether it is a metabolic class, or a semiprivate lesson really helps me want to go to the gym. I look forward to being there. I never thought that I could say that working out can be fun, but it is here.I'm 62, I take care of my 2-year-old grandson 2 days a week, I'm an avid golfer, and I enjoy walking. I can honestly say that if it wasn't for the staff at Train 2 Xcel, and they're knowledge and expertise, I would not be in truly the best shape of my life.Sue Aruilio“

“I found Danbury Pure after my doctor strongly recommended a personal trainer to help me rebuild muscle and control blood pressure. Lucky for me. Rachel has helped me gain strength and endurance. My back pain is virtually gone and, at 75. I feel better than I have in a long time. The studio is convenient for me and I look forward to our sessions. Thanks. Rachel.“

“I just started EarthFIT about a month ago, and I'm so glad I did! The coaches are excellent - very encouraging and helpful. I did not exercise much before joining so I was nervous about going, but I am able to do the exercises and as I said, the coaches are terrific. The classes are perfect for me - 30 minutes in the morning and I'm done. I would highly recommend joining!“

“I started training in March of 2022. Whether you are young or old, a serious competitor or just looking to get back in shape, Professor Luigi and his team have created an excellent atmosphere to learn BJJ. The depth in all belt levels is important too....there are many upper level belts (including MANY black belts) that are more then willing to teach newer students. I was welcomed on my first day with fist bumps and introductions, which I wasn't expecting, but was impressed by how easy going the team appeared. I attend 4-5 days a week now. I wish I had found them 20 years ago. I highly recommend ATT /Kore in CT. They have created a great community. ?“
“Marco is very knowledgeable about what he does. (I.e. training…he knows the human body,: muscles, but also understands how she tendons and ligaments all work together (to avoid injuries) and will tailor your exercise routines to fit your current physical condition to strengthen, condition, and provide an overall level of health I think anyone would be very happy with.“

“I have been training with coach Andreas one-on-one since 2014. When I was pregnant a few years ago my doctor cleared me to continue my training, and Andreas and Deb modified my workout accordingly at each stage of my pregnancy. I was able to continue training up to my due date, which made it so much easier to get back into training once the doctor released me after delivery. My strength goals are always a priority here, and my concerns are always considered when designing my workouts.“
