Trainers in Asheville

“In planning for a John Muir Trail hike this summer, I realized I needed focused physical training support. From the moment I went through the assessment session with Steven, I knew that McHone Performance Training would provide the targeted training I needed. I have been training at the Brevard site since December 2023. Coach Denise developed a training program for me that specifically addresses the needs of a long-distance hiker. She has systematically guided my progression through this program, making crucial observations at every stage to allow me to get the maximum benefit.She also developed enhancements to the program that accommodated a pre-existing injury that had prevented me from doing certain critical strength-building exercises. It was a revelation! Every session is both effective and fun. Each week I look forward to seeing what she has cooked up for me.I can attest to the efficacy of this training when, in April, I was in a mountaineering activity in the very snowy Sierras above Lake Tahoe. I was able to engage in and enjoy the activity due to the support of Coach Denise and the MPT team. Whether you are looking forward to a milestone activity such as the JMT or are motivated to maintain an elevated level of fitness, MPT is the place to go.“

“I really loved my experience at Rise pilates. The best part for me as a beginner was that they offer 5 classes for $50. It worked out great as I could try and see if it works. Now that I am doing this regularly wish I could have started it sooner.“

“Lovely studio. Eden is patient and so knowledgeable, especially for this first-timer. Very happy with my experience!“

“I have been working out at Inspire for over a year now and can not say enough great things about this gym. Whether you're new to working out or at the peak of your fitness level this is the gym for you. The warmups and workouts are so well thought out and Keith is ALWAYS willing to modify if you're dealing with an injury. The sense of camaraderie among the class is encouraging and uplifting. Inspire Fitness has been a life changer for me! What doesn't challenge you, doesn't change you. So come get changed with the rest of us! You won't regret it!“

“Training Partners has been my trainer for a continuous 12 or 13 years now. This gym was recommended to me by a skillful physical therapist, who trains at this gym herself. I have received educated, discrete, and enjoyable training from all of Training Partner's current trainers. I'm grateful a serious and mature service for fitness has been offered for so many years in Asheville.“

“Abby has been fun to work with and knowledgeable about fitness. It's important to connect with people teaching me. That was immediate here. Super Slow methodology was recommended by people I trust, and I was pleasantly surprised to find a Super Slow workout facility here in Asheville. Been training for four months now and the results have been good. If you're serious about fitness and/or physical recovery and want to be consistent, I recommend Abby.“

“Tedd was tremendous to work with! Highly recommended… you will get much stronger, and feel both challenged and also encouraged!“

“I have never done Pilates before coming to this studio and I started with the private in person sessions. Both Amy and April are amazing teachers. I love the welcoming atmosphere and the studio is nice. They have all the equipment you could need. I like that they are taking Covid seriously and offer virtual sessions and require masks for in person sessions. The online booking is convenient for me. There is street parking available or you can park at two designated free spots next to Vortex. I highly recommend them!“

“Taija created a personalized workout routine that I could access through an app and use very easily to do workouts on my own time. There are instructional videos on how to do each exercise, reps and sets recommendations and it was all customized to my goals. Taija was able to create a program that works with my inconsistent schedule, meeting me where I am and helping me fit in fitness within life, work and family. I feel like I can confidently workout on my own now instead of relying on gym classes.“

“The patients that I work with have really noticed a difference with this special type of strength training, as have I. Thanks Hugh! ??“

“It doesn't matter your level of fitness---Underground is the gym for you. The trainers are able to modify the workouts to match your ability and they coach you until your form is correct. Each day is a different, challenging format and the music and comeraderie make the class just fly by. You feel like you have your gym family with the social activities, fun challenges, and welcoming atmosphere. This is the best gym I have ever found, hands down!“
