Trainers in St. Louis

“tangible positive energy and incredible people!! on-ramp program is individual, dedicated, and motivating. highly recommend.“

“The grind has been almost like my second home, challenging workouts each and every day, also seeing progress within my self every step of the way. Tons of great staff and a great community that will welcome you with open arms.“

“Great gym with knowledgeable trainers, clean equipment, a welcoming atmosphere, and friendly fellow gym goers. Plenty of machines and weights, and it never feels too crowded. Definitely a motivating place to work out!“

“I just hit my two-year anniversary at this gym, which honestly says everything—because I genuinely hate exercising. I’ve never been someone who enjoys workouts and this is the first place I’ve ever stuck with long-term.

What makes the difference is the small class sizes and the flexibility. Classes are offered at various times throughout the day, which makes it easy to fit workouts into a real-life schedule. The smaller classes mean you get personal attention, proper guidance, and encouragement without ever feeling called out or overwhelmed.

The trainers are supportive, knowledgeable, and motivating without being intimidating. They truly meet you where you are and focus on progress—not perfection. I never feel judged, but I do feel accountable, which is exactly what I need.

The workouts are effective, structured, and varied enough that I don’t get bored, and the environment keeps me coming back even on days I’d rather skip. Two years ago, I never would’ve believed I’d say this, but this gym helped me build consistency, strength, and confidence.

If you’re someone who doesn’t naturally love working out or struggles to stay consistent, I can’t recommend this place enough.“

“This particular location and the two stretch coaches I have there have been a godsend. I receive excellent service, guidance on my journey to getting back to a stronger body. I highly recommend if you're looking for strength, mobility, flexibility, balance and other things to keep the body healthy.“

“High quality training has made a huge difference in my life. This is one of the best places you can get it!“

“I love this gym. Super friendly staff. Great equipment for strength training and cardio. Loads of space and other users super considerate. Really recommend.“

“Gym area is good. Enough equipment to workout even during busy times. Bathroom needs some repairs.“

“I cannot say enough good things about HouseFit. I attend exercise classes to build my strength and reverse some bone loss due to osteopenia. All the trainers are physical therapists. They make sure I’m doing my exercises correctly and I get the intended benefit of doing the work.“

“Phoenix A+ Coaching is an outstanding gym with top-notch coaches who truly care about their clients’ progress. The equipment and space are excellent, creating the perfect environment for training. I’ve made incredible strides thanks to their expertise and support. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, they have the guidance to help you succeed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality fitness experience!“

“The gym is pretty nice although they don't have a basketball court and you have to pay for parking. The men's locker room is not very clean.“

“This gym is for personal trainers and their clients only. You have to have an appointment with a trainer to use this gym. Everything in this gym is very clean, does not stink of body odor, the restrooms are clean, there are lockers and showers. Some people who come from work leave their tennis shoes there in a special area. I've been going consistently for 3 months and only about 3 out of 23 sessions has it been slightly crowded and even then the trainers are very considerate of each other and their clients. There are loads of machines, weights and floor work area. You can see this website for the trainers. I train with Titanium Fitness and highly recommend Diana Beckham or Chuck. See Titanium Fitness in Clayton, MO for their reviews and website.“

“Have been training with DFM trainer Brad Buffington for 6 years now since I was 71 years old and first time ever going to a gym. Not only have I gotten stronger but his knowledge of nutrition has changed my life to a much healthier person“

“Big Fitness has changed my entire life! The dedication to clients is unparalleled! These people care deeply about their clients. The entire energy of this place is off the charts!!!

“Absolutely love this Planet Fitness every plant fitness should take after this one. Every area of this place is updated with all the best equipment. Black card members not only get to enjoy the aqua massage and tanning they have Spray tanning, tanning beds with red lights in them, cold plunge chair that is amazing and the staff is amazing and friendly. I have never seen a cleaner Planet Fitness than this one. 100/10“

“Marlo and Andrew are amazing on a personal and professional level. As a formerly Saint Louis based personal trainer, there are 3 trainers in the entire city I'd actively recommend to friends, family, and former clients. Two of those three people are in this gym. Incredibly high attention to detail and really puts the "personal" in personal training!“

“Me and my friend came here and we were welcomed by Miss DeNay. It was our first time in and she was very thorough and helpful, definitely coming back!“

“Tom has helped me a few times over the years. His expertise is unmatched. He helped me get through an injury in preparation for an elite military program and helped me fix my back years later after I hurt it lifting my kids around.“

“The gym is very clean, and the equipment is well maintained. The tanning beds are also cleaned and disinfected after every use by the staff. Overall, it's a great place to work out.“

“I’ve been working with Mike for 15+ years and couldn’t ask for a better trainer. He customizes my workouts based on my personal goals and needs and the results show! I love going there for my workouts as the environment there is very supportive, whether you’re a beginner or more experienced. Everyone there is also so positive and kind and all are great trainers. There’s a reason I’ve been going to DPF for so many years!“

“Anyone who attends regular Pilates lessons at this facility will truly be investing for their future. As a sufferer of osteoporosis and arthritis, the benefits have been quite outstanding for me. I have increased my bone density from osteoporosis to osteopenia in my back and to within the normal range in my hips. My arthritic knees have stopped hurting due to the leg muscles I have built up. This is definitely due to my Pilates lessons as I take no medications for these conditions. As an added benefit, my rib cage is more defined, the muscles I have built are long and lean and I am so much more flexible. I started with private lessons intending to move on to group lessons but the benefits I have had from individual attention and tuition have made me want to stick with one on one lessons. This is a warm and friendly studio where every client is made to feel valued and appreciated. I cannot recommend highly enough!“

“I have been going to Bodywise 1-on 1 over the years. I highly recommend. Skip is the owner and one of the trainers. He offers a highly personalized plan fitted towards your goals and body type. He provides a comprehensive outline to achieve your goals. He is extremely knowledgeable in the area of fitness. He understands how hard it is to loose weight and provides great advise and motivation. There are various personal training packages to choose from. I also participate in spinn classes to get my cardio in. I love the flexibility of the personal training sessions because my work hours change. Personal training sessions are available Monday through Saturday as early as 5am. They offer spinn classes on Monday and Wednesday at 6:30pm. The classes are no joke, you will definitely achieve a great cardio workout with laughs and more within that hour.“
