Practical Fitness North

Sep 2023

I joined Practical Fitness to achieve some fitness goals before my wedding. I am happy to report that because of PF I have been able to achieve exactly what I wanted! I have become more lean, decreased my body fat percentage, and have much more definition through my arms, back, and legs. Aside from the great 30 minute workouts I received excellent guidance from Colton on nutrition.I have always been a "if I'm not drenched in sweat by the end of a workout I didn't work out" kind of girl and so when I started with PF I was definitely a bit skeptical. I can definitely say that PF will leave you sore the next day and that their approach is effective. Consider my mind changed!Thank...read full review

I've worked with trainers Mason and Colton here and both were exceptional. Professional, upbeat, encouraging, friendly, and respectful can describe these trainers. Most of all I was impressed by their professionalism and skill with guiding their clients through the weight training circuit. There is a very precise methodology and protocol that they are following. I liked it and found benefit to each of the components of it. It's clear that the program was very carefully and painstakingly thought out. Training for this job must be intense. The workout was extremely strenuous, especially when you have been there a while and built up some strength. Having sessions a half hour long is totally appropriate when you are working as hard as you do there and making your way thought the machines at a very efficient pace. Another thing I really appreciated about the trainers here is that they both clearly seemed to have a degree in exercise physiology. I have worked with several trainers before and the ones that actually studied this in college are far more effective. Being so attuned to athletic performance the trainers can tell when you are getting to your limit and can help to push you on. They're great at motivating so you can squeeze every last drop of strength out of your muscles. That said, they also are totally respectful if you need to take a breather, get water and let your heat rate come down a bit. As an out of shape person looking to build muscle for the sake of my health- I felt comfortable here and did not feel judged or that the trainers had any opinion of me being unfit. They were only kind, accepting and motivating. This has not been the case with other trainers I've worked with before and it is noteworthy. They get a gold star for professionalism. I would have liked to continue on but my financial situation changed and I needed to focus resources elsewhere. The cost for sessions is high but it is also worth it for the the amount of focus the trainers put into your work and the fact that it is 100% private.

I have been training with Practical Fitness for over 7 years. I really dislike exercising, but they make it so easy -- only 30 minutes. Who can't do that? Once or twice a week is all I need to stay in shape and I am so thankful it works for me. The trainers are fabulous and very knowledgeable. I am amazed and extremely grateful for the quality of the trainers. Last, but not least, a BIG thank you to them for working with me and all my old age creaks and cracking!
