Trainers near Elkins Park

“I started with Spark And Vitality a little over a year ago. I have always been not much of what I would call an “active” person but I knew at the age of 49 I had to start making different choices. I have not only gained so much strength all over my body but I have gained better posture, more energy, more endurance and a more visibly toned body. All of these points have supported my making choices that steer towards longevity and a healthy lifestyle.“

“I can’t recommend G-Strength enough! The standout feature is the individualized attention tailored to each person’s capabilities and conditions. Zach, the trainer I’ve been working with, is exceptional—he always pushes me to improve while being empathetic and approachable.

The gym limits the number of participants to just six at a time, creating a stress-free, intimate workout environment. This small-group setup has been a game-changer for me. I initially had trepidations about starting because I felt self-conscious and intimidated by mainstream fitness culture, but Zach’s supportive approach helped me overcome those fears. He has a knack for knowing when and how to challenge you without overwhelming you.

If you’re looking for a gym where you’ll feel truly seen and supported, this is the place to be!“

“Such a solid workout spot. The coaches are friendly and helpful and the workouts are challenging but manageable. It’s just a great place to show up, get a good workout in, and feel good after.“

“Daniel and Joey are the best!
I truly recommend it to anyone who needs a close assistance workout program!“

“I heard about this gym in passing and decided to schedule a consultation to check it out. During that first meeting, my now trainer Joanne took the time to really listen to my fitness goals and walk me through a plan. Before I knew it, I was signed up.

I’ve been going for just over a month now and I’ve made great progress with the full body workouts she builds for me each week. When I told her I was ready to switch up my routine and learn new skills, she was immediately supportive and came prepared with a new plan that matched my goals.

I only wanted to sign up for a few months to build knowledge and confidence in the gym. So if you’re in a similar position and want to kickstart your gym girl era, this is a great place to start. Joanne truly knows how to guide you, educate you, and help you feel like a bad ass.“

“My 11yr old has really enjoyed going to Takeover Sports. Ryan and the other trainers really care and are very knowledgeable. The environment is welcoming and positive. My son looks forward to attending his sessions, has learned a lot, and is feeling more confident.“

“This is perfect for people who aren’t really “gym people,” like me. Whenever I go to a regular gym, I end up spending an hour and a half just waiting for machines or trying to figure out what to do. With time being so valuable, I really appreciate a structured 45-minute workout that actually lets you focus on working your muscles without the guesswork.

The classes are great because someone is guiding you through the workout, making sure your form is correct and helping modify exercises if needed. It makes the whole experience much less intimidating and a lot more effective.

I also really appreciate the customer service. Everyone has been incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. My absolute favorite coach is Meg, but honestly the entire team has been wonderful.

Highly recommend if you want an efficient workout with a supportive environment.“

“I’ve been training at Maleek Jackson Boxing and Fitness for almost a year now, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about this place. The coaches here are truly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in your growth, no matter your skill level. Whether you’re brand new to boxing or have years of experience, they make you feel welcomed, comfortable, and supported from day one.

Beyond the coaching, the community here is something special. Everyone pushes each other, respects one another, and wants to see each other improve. I’ve learned so much not just about boxing, but about discipline, confidence, and showing up for myself consistently.

This gym feels like more than just a place to train, it feels like home. If you’re looking for a boxing gym with elite coaching, a positive environment, and a real sense of community, this is the spot. Highly recommend.“

“I worked out at Summit for almost a year and a half and I can’t recommend them enough! This gym has played a huge role in keeping me consistent and getting back into my fitness journey. The facility is clean with amazing equipment and great facilities.

Paige was my trainer and she is incredibly dedicated to each of her clients bringing so much positivity and energy to every session. From day one, she was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me reach my goals. She helped me get in shape for my wedding and, more importantly, made me feel strong, confident, and empowered throughout the journey. Paige listens, challenges you in the best way, and always celebrates your wins, big or small. I’m so grateful for my time at Summit! Thank you Paige and all the amazing staff at Summit!“

“Passport visit. Great coaches, active and engaging with each participant, correcting form and cheering for completion.“

“I just completed my Meno Consultation with the Dynamic Duo. It was fantastic. They was patient and answered all my questions. Busted the myths and gave me the information I needed to get started to work with my OBGYN to THRIVE through this (you'll understand this statement after your consultation). I came with my note pad but didn't need it. I received an easy read but detailed guide to get me started. I'm so excited and no longer overwhelmed with those heffas Peri & Meno. Looking forward to my 6 month check in. I am confident there will be changes to celebrate. I mean, look at them; they're walking examples of their knowledge.“

“Retro is already a great gym but what stands out to me is there amenities! Their water massage beds are something I visit once a week. Their staff is pleasant and always welcoming.“

“I had a fabulous first massage concentrating on tightness in my shoulders and will return again!“

“As always feeling like an outsider this place made me feel welcome! I try other F45 locations this is the best in the area!“

“I love the set up at orange theory. I appreciate their ethos to working out and the energy in the building. I like the orange lighting as well. Not a current member but will most def visit again. Their membership is quite expensive.“

“This gym is outstanding. It’s consistently clean, well organized, and clearly well
managed. The staff are extremely professional, welcoming, and always ready to help every visit you’re greeted with respect and positive energy. The equipment is kept up to date, the weights are usually well organized, and the overall environment is neat and motivating. While a few members may occasionally leave equipment out of place, the staff does a great job maintaining order and cleanliness. Overall, this is a top-tier gym and a great place to train. Highly recommended.“

“Nicole is a rockstar, had so much fun and her directions were so clear! Cannot wait to come back“

“Awesome gym environment here! The coaches are so friendly and helpful, and the classes always kick my butt! I’ve hit multiple all time gym PRs since being a member“

“I always have a good workout. It doesn't matter how crowded the parking lot is, there is never a hindrance in completing my routine.“

“Excellent is so many ways. Always clean, the staff take pride in working their. Friendly to all ages from infants to seniors. Great offering of group work outs and the outdoor space is unmatched locally.“

“Liam at the front desk was super helpful in getting me set up with a membership. Totally recommend!“

“I use to workout at Planet Fitness . I liked that it was open 24hr. All most every Planet Fitness in my area , is now 5am to 11pm . The one that hasn't changed their hours, isn't truly 24hrs . I did a search for a 24r gym near me and I found AF . The owner is super nice and answered all my questions . I joined 3 days later. I had my first workout on a Sunday at 2:30 am . The gym has everything . Free weights, machines , cardio ,kettlebells , power racks , a deadlift platform and a jungle gym . What really made a good workout even better . An ex PF member was working out at the same time . We use to have to wait in the parking lot on Mondays ,until PF opened their doors. I wish I had joined sooner .“

“I’ve been training at Control Lab for 2.5 years. I started training with Victor when my second child was a little over 6 months old!
I appreciated that Victor understood and took into account all of my fitness and strength goals! He formulates training sessions with all of those goals in mind, pushing me harder week after week! He’s extremely knowledgeable, keeps the sessions motivating, fun and challenging. Hands down the best trainer I’ve ever worked with.
But more importantly, Control Lab is a space for community and inclusivity. I love chatting with all of the trainers and clients who share the space during my sessions! It’s a little family!
If you’re looking for knowledgeable, quality personal training to reach your health and wellness goals, look no further!“

“I’ve been working out at Summit for about a month. I wanted a personal trainer because I needed guidance and accountability to reach my fitness goals and to ensure I was working out safely and effectively. I chose The Summit because of its welcoming atmosphere, excellent facilities, and reputation for knowledgeable trainers. My sessions with Trevor have been challenging but incredibly rewarding each workout is tailored to my goals, and my trainer makes sure I’m progressing while keeping everything fun and motivating. I would absolutely recommend The Summit to anyone looking to improve their fitness and work with a team that truly supports your journey.“

“To be honest, the only employee that truly stands out to me because of how welcoming, kind, friendly and hard-working she is is Tracy. Watching how good she cleans, makes me feel like this is a well kept environment. She is such a pleasure to see every morning. I do recommend this location . I wish all of the staff gave this same impression, it would really glow up the place

Edit: new staff is super friendly and welcoming“

“I have been taking Katie’s Pilates & Barre classes for two years and she is an amazing instructor! She is very knowledgeable and always encouraging us to do what we can! PSC/NYSC is lucky to have her as an instructor!“
