Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend this gym enough! A year ago, I’d hardly worked out a day in my life, and honestly, I was pretty intimidated to start. But Jerry and Marvin are amazing—they know exactly how to push me without making it overwhelming. Their program actually works, and they keep it fun and encouraging. I’m stronger, more confident, and for the first time ever, I actually want to work out. If you’re looking for trainers who care and know their stuff, this is the place to be!

Marvin and Jerry are also super supportive and always available to answer any questions I have. The atmosphere is friendly and never feels robotic or intimidating. Overall, I'm so glad I found this gym and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming and effective workout experience. They also have a new Pilates class which I enjoy very much!

On both occasions, the owners/instructors - Marvin and Jerry - were friendly, helpful and suggested the best exercise routines to accommodate the comfortably and skill sets of those exercising. In group training sessions, you can sometimes feel overlooked, but not here! Marvin and Jerry made sure that each person was getting the level of attention they needed to ensure that exercises were being performed with proper form and care.
