Sarge Athletics

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Been a member for the last few years and have learned a lot past just how to do the big lifts. All the accessory works to strengthen core, reduce back pain, etc. Coaches care, and the owner is accessible! My daughter learned to lift here over the summer. She's never been into sports but really enjoyed the challenge she could put on herself to lift better and higher weights. She's going into high school next year and joining the weightlifting team. I'm not sure there's a world where she would have done that were it not for her time at Sarge!

Fantastic experience: I’m enjoying my program very well I’m losing weight. I’m getting much stronger and feeling significantly better. Very happy.

Fantastic experience: My kids are athletes and have become better athletes because of Sarge Athletics. The structure and will the trainers give to the athletes is the best I have ever come across.

Fantastic experience: I had always known I needed to be more active; I just didn't trust myself to get to a gym enough to make it worth the cost of a membership. Sarge's adult fitness classes have been perfect to keep me challenged and motivated. I'm in the better shape than I have been since college.

Fantastic experience: Our son is loving the challenge and looking forward to some health gains!

Fantastic experience: Sarge Athletics is amazing. As a prior Army Nurse and current civilian Nurse I wanted to be working out in a clean environment while getting a hard core workout. This is the place! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. They motivate you and keep you encouraged. I had the privilege of meeting and speaking with Sarge himself and he is a wonderful human! I have nothing but great things to say about Sarge Athletics. What are you waiting for?!? Join now!

Fantastic experience: Sarge Athletics is a beautiful gym with a bunch of super knowledgable and talented coaches who all provide effective and fun workouts. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I was very impressed with the way Sarge, Brigit & Andrew, all worked together in providing me with an excellent workout program in our semi private class. It was a fun atmosphere but also difficult in the sense that it made me work hard & that produced results!! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: “My daughter has been attending Sarge Athletics in Frederick, MD since July 2024, utilizing their personal trainer option as part of her recovery from ACL surgery. The one-on-one training sessions have been instrumental in helping her regain strength and confidence. The team at Sarge Athletics has been incredibly flexible in working around her schedule, ensuring she gets the support she needs. They took the time to customize a training program tailored to her recovery goals, making it a great value for our investment. We highly recommend Sarge Athletics for anyone seeking personalized training and genuine care in their fitness journey!”

Fantastic experience: Love the atmosphere! People are super sweet and kind, coaches are super encouraging and will push you to get better, but are also super helpful to adjusting workouts to make them work for you! I love working out with my teen at the same time!! Thank you Carl for helping me discover my love for working out!!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about Sarge Athletics at Bethany Beach. They inspire and push you to be better and stronger. They give helpful feedback on form and do it all with great fun. I would highly highly recommend trying them.

Fantastic experience: Great place! Love the workouts!! Has really helped me improve mobility and strength! Thank you Sarge and Sarge athletics team!

Fantastic experience: Great workout ️‍♀️ excellent

Fantastic experience: Great training. Meets you where you are at and shows you how to get better.

Fantastic experience: I am a client at the Bethany Beach, Delaware location and I can’t say enough about this training! A program was created for my goals, my body, and it has changed my life. I am amazed at the level of care and attention that I have been given. I never thought I would have the courage to take care of myself through personal training; it seemed so daunting to me as a middle age, out of shape woman. But they made a way for me - a way full of dignity, kindness, and motivation. And the results are incredible!!! I have lost weight and gained so much strength and confidence. If you are thinking that you might want to take your life to a whole new level of vitality at Bethany Beach, I recommend you give this place a shot. They saved my life for sure.

Fantastic experience: My dad and I attended Sarge’s beach workout in Bethany, DE. Sarge and his crew encouraged and pushed each other to be their best. It was an excellent workout and a great experience to do with friends and family! If you want to crush your friends at pickleball, Sarge Athletics is definitely what you need to build your athleticism.

Fantastic experience: Great trainers and super friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Fantastic experience: Great workouts with a great community of people!

Fantastic experience: If you live near Bethany Beach or simply on vacation and looking for a great workout, Sarge Bootcamp on the sand is what you’re looking for. My wife and I dropped in on one of the classes and got a great workout. Good mix of core, cardio, and strength. Sand adds a unique element that isn’t replicated in our standard gym. Instructors are great at walking you through the exercises and giving you modifications if you have an injury or medical concern. We will be back when we are at the beach next!

Fantastic experience: Great trainer, great sessions, great people involved! Love their beach workouts!

Fantastic experience: Best place to workout ! So motivating ! U will walk out energetic even after a body draining workout ... Love this place

Fantastic experience: Sarge Athletics workouts are fantastic and the entire coaching staff are absolutely best in the business. The workouts are hard, well structured and every day focused on different areas. The coaches are always willing to help and adjust the exercises to your own capabilities. As an avid cyclist and pickleball Addict, Sarge workouts have definitely improved my overall fitness, strength, and balance.

Fantastic experience: Sarge and his staff are personable, competent, encouraging, and caring. My son absolutely loves his training sessions with JC! His confidence has increased and his physical ability is improving as well. We are beyond grateful for this training facility!

Fantastic experience: Work outs and coaching is great. Really great! But it is the community that seals the deal (client and coach!). Encouraging, supportive, and truly caring for the people we work out with day in and day out!!!

Fantastic experience: Sarge Athletics is a great place to get your workout in. The times are flexible and the trainers are super friendly and knowledgeable. There is a good feeling of balance since the trainers will ensure that you are pushing yourself and at the same time everything is self-paced.

Fantastic experience: Since I retired, I enjoy playing Pickleball every day. I want to keep playing pickleball multiple times a week, so I realized I needed a higher level of strength and conditioning to prevent injury. I was very lucky to find Sarge Athletics in Bethany Beach. Patrick and Bridget developed a training program to improve my fitness, range of motion and overall performance on the pickleball court. The exercises focused on strength, stability, balance and agility. My footwork also improved and it really makes an impact on the court. I found Patrick and Bridget extremely qualified to work with me on strength and conditioning specifically for pickleball. They are by far, the most professional and knowledgeable trainers I have ever worked with. I highly recommend Sarge Athletics. See you on the courts!!!

Fantastic experience: Great staff and training programs.

Fantastic experience: Sarge Athletics has been great for my son. He’s built muscle, improved his balance and agility, and gained confidence in himself on and off the field due to the training and guidance he’s received from Kevin and Nick.

Fantastic experience: A great place to transition from medical rehab to recovering the strenght, flexibility and balance to carry out a life better led.

Fantastic experience: I've been with Sarge Athletics 5yrs. The coaches will come up with modifications for movements that are a challenge. They help you to keep moving so you can keep moving!

Fantastic experience: Sarge Athletics is the BEST gym in the area. The trainers truly care about you and your advancement, and will do what they can to help you succeed. Nick is my trainer and would constantly push me to do my best while also listening to my concerns and needs for the day. Before Sarge Athletics I was not a gym person at all and would dread working out. Now I feel confident in the gym and am excited to go every time. Thank you so much Sarge and team for the past 6 months!

Fantastic experience: Been going to Sarge for years. It’s not just a training center, it’s a community! I love it!

Fantastic experience: It’s more than a training center. The trainers go above and beyond to help you become the best version of yourself. Sarge is family. The group classes are motivating and the people are always helpful.

Fantastic experience: As an active member of the military, finding a fitness center that caters to our specific needs can be challenging. However, I am thrilled to share my positive experience at Sarge Athletics, a facility that goes above and beyond to meet its members personal goals. The staff are personable, dedicated, highly trained professionals that understand fitness needs in a community friendly environment. This makes it an ideal fitness haven for servicemen and women or people looking to take their workout routine to the next level or enhance their overall wellness.

Fantastic experience: Our experience at Sarge exceeded our expectations! We had to change fitness centers and was lucky enough that our trainer moved to Sarge. The level of staff dedication is top notch and goes beyond what one might expect of a fitness center. We want to give a big thank you to Sarge!

Fantastic experience: Thanks to the classes and personal training sessions I am reaching new fitness heights. The instructors are great, the classes are challenging and the environment is awesome!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been training at Sarge Athletics for years. We both cut body fat, gained muscle, and have maintained our developed athleticism. Sarge always follows our goals and tweaks our program to keep our training fun. He helped me train for my hike across the Grand Canyon as well as increase my running and biking speed through safe and effective training. Sarge also helped my husband maintain his physique and increase muscle mass (in his 50’s) as well as recover from surgery, keeping in contact with his physical therapist. Sarge’s trainers are currently working with our teenage son to help him develop confidence and build muscle/agility. I can’t speak highly enough about Sarge and his trainers. If you are looking to transform yourself, maintain what you have, or find a confidence builder for your child, Sarge is the place to go!

Fantastic experience: Sarge Athletics turned my life around. I was over 50, out of shape after raising 3 kids, 40 lbs overweight, and headed in the wrong direction. In one year working with a personal trainer, I lost all the weight, gained muscle (hard for a woman my age), got strong, improved core, have much better balance (so important as we age). I switched over to group classes last year and the people in the classes are genuine, friendly, and always kind and supportive of each other. I could go on, but this training center is fantastic, IMO. Top-shelf trainers who really know their stuff. Personalized attention, warm and supportive community of all ages who come here. I've been training here since 2020 and my sons before that. Always excellent results. Charlie Mike, Sarge.

Fantastic experience: Whether you are taking the general fitness classes (like my husband is doing-and he LOVES it) or you are working with the coaches 1:1 (that's what I'm doing!), Sarge Athletics is a fantastic place to work out. It's more than a gym, it's a community. And in cases, like me, where one is recovering from injury and require more specific programming, they are more than willing to work with your healthcare team to come up with a safe program to help you continue safely in your recovery. I don't have kids, but I've had 1:1s with the coaches while the kids' classes are going on, and can attest that the kids have a blast exercising there as well. If you and/or your family are looking to be more active, Sarge Athletics is a great place to be!

Fantastic experience: I took the bootcamp while visiting relatives over Christmas. It had challenging exercises and coaches that keep you motivated. I love that they have a peg wall!

Fantastic experience: I joined Sarge about 4 months ago. Prior to Sarge, I was working out in small group gym classes, and I had a virtual personal trainer… but I was BORED. I had just moved to Frederick about a year prior, and I was missing the community and accountability I used to have with my old gym buddies. I knew about Sarge Athletics from a local friend and decided to give it a try. I met with Sarge, took one class, and I was hooked. The facility is great, the coaches are superb and the comradery and community with all the members is exactly what I needed at this time in my fitness journey. Each class is different, and a full body workout. The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. Joining Sarge Athletics is one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and fitness, hands down. 10 out of 10

Fantastic experience: I started at Sarge to get fit and I have achieved so much more! The coaching staff is PHENOMENAL! They are encouraging, supportive and knowledgeable to help you meet YOUR goals. The community of this training center is unlike any other. It is truly like a family!

Fantastic experience: Sarge Athletics is an amazing training center and holds a special place in my heart! I started going to Sarge Athletics 8 years ago and have had nothing but a great experience. I have trained in group classes as well as done one-on-one personal training with Sarge himself. Sarge has done nothing but been there to support me and push me to help me reach my fitness goals. He tailors my workouts each session for what I want to work on and never failed to make my workouts fun even when they were challenging. Especially after my ACL surgery in 2017, Sarge was there to help build my athletic confidence back and get me back on the lacrosse field. All of the coaches are passionate about what they do and you can tell by the way they bring energy in the room. I have distant memories of Coach Dakota cheering me on doing sled pushes. Everyone is friendly and welcoming which makes the training experience a 10/10. One of my other favorite aspects of my training experience was getting a protein smoothie afterwards. Sarge Athletics has many options to choose from if you want to get one after your training session. Overall, Sarge is amazing and I would recommend this training center to anyone who is interested in making friends and having a good time while working out and improving your fitness!

Fantastic experience: I brought my two young children (7 & 6) to Sarge’s over the summer for a couple training sessions a week. They split their sessions between Sarge, and coach Dakota. My kids loved their time there. I saw a great improvement in their strength, speed, and knowledge of how to use their bodies correctly for important tasks (running, pushing, pulling..) I know a good number of very smart movement coaches in the fitness world, and after a number of conversations with Sarge, I give you my word he is one as well. If it’s for you or your children, Sarge and his team get my highest recommendation. We will be back if we are welcome.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love Sarge Athletics!! I was looking for a workout with strength and cardio at a gym where I felt supported. Sarge made sure to address my concerns and I am seeing great results!! 5 stars and would recommend Sarge Athletics to everyone!!

Fantastic experience: Been coming to Sarge Athletics since I was in middle school and I have loved it ever since! Sarge and his staff create a welcoming and fun environment for all ages and fitness levels. Now that I am in college, I enjoy taking a trip to Sarge Athletics with McDaniel College CHAARG to have killer workouts, learn more about fitness and nutrition, and get coached by awesome coaches - especially coach Isaac and Hosey! Very grateful for Sarge Athletics!

Fantastic experience: Great facility

Fantastic experience: Love this place! I have been a member at a number of places and this is by far my favorite. The trainers are constantly keeping an eye on form and suggesting adjustments to avoid injury and gain strength. I can ask questions anytime and they offer modifications for injuries. Classes always begin with foam rolling and a stretch/warm—up and heart rate monitors track metrics on a monitor. The combination of a number of class times to choose from, amazing trainers, as well as the overall family atmosphere makes it such a great place!!

Fantastic experience: This year has been challenging in so many unexpected ways. Attending training class at Sarge’s has been my saving grace! Exercising and getting my nutrition under control has elevated stress, improved my strength, and increased my energy. Completing the nutrition challenge kept me focused on healthier habits: hydrating, eating more veggies, and preparing food that tastes delicious and FILLS YOU UP!!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been a long time client of Sarge Athletics. Best personal training programs around! I have always found Sarge and his staff supportive. They engage, don't preach, and always listen. The workouts are challenging, but do-able. I always feel accomplished afterwards. My fellow classmates are supportive. I just trust their fitness and nutrition programs to be the best I can be.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place, Amazing people! ❤❤❤❤

Fantastic experience: I started going to Sarge in May 2021 after having a baby and being out of shape. The coaches are great and encourage you to do your best. They combine exercise, nutrition and encourage sleep to get the best results. I have dropped over 15 pounds, built muscle, and reduced body fat. I love going - at least 4-5 times a week. Below is an example of a week day work out. Try it out!

Fantastic experience: Best way to start my work day, every day! Appreciate the staff's efforts to open up early and provide a great workout.

Fantastic experience: The people are very kind and I love the workout that they make me do. It makes me feel energetic and definitely improves your body.

Fantastic experience: Amazing trainers and workout classes.

Fantastic experience: Edit to add: I lost 30lbs through Sarge. Since my first writing this review last fall, my husband has also joined Sarge and is losing weight and inches while looking more defined and hawt. No one at Sarge (staff or clientele) ever makes you feel fat, weak, or slow. A year later, I still recommend! Original review: I’m nearly two months into working with a personal trainer twice a week, and my 13yo daughter (middle school) is nearly two months into her membership in the youth classes. About us: I’m a middle-aged, overweight, out-of-shape woman. My daughter is of average build and not naturally athletic. My experience thus far, as a client and as a parent: I’m working regularly with Tori twice/week. She‘s great. Personality-wise, she’s nice and upbeat and encouraging. She will push me, but she’ll also take me seriously if I say my body can’t handle something. That’s a really good balance for me. I’ve had Brandon as a sub. Loved him, too. He’s genuine, positive, and motivating. He encourages you to finish strong. I recommend both as personal trainers. As for progress and results: I’m going to be real here. The...what I’ll call ripples...along my legs are smoothing out. I’m tighter. I’m stronger. My cardio is improving. I’m not losing weight, but I also haven’t made dietary changes. I leave there fully certain that I’m going to die, but in a good way, I think? Now for my daughter: She loves it. She *asks to go*, which doesn’t happen with most activities. I’m frankly shocked. Like, SHOCKED. I chose to enroll her in Sarge for both social interaction and fitness, and it’s working out nicely. She, like me, really likes both Brandon and Tori, which leads me to believe they are able to work with a wide age range. When I just asked her what she likes about Sarge, she said, “I like all the trainers, and when we do group work.” So. Yes, it’s expensive. Yes, the personal trainers are trying to kill you. But yeah, I’m glad I’m spending the money.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding experience for myself and my middle school son. Would recommend for any age or fitness level. They are especially cognizant of keeping their members safe during COVID; with everyone wearing masks and wiping down equipment after each use.

Fantastic experience: Joined a few months ago and never plan on leaving.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Fun group exercise several times in morning and evening

Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff, fabulous athletic training and results, positive environment. Clean environment,

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to the training center for almost a year and a half. The center itself isn’t pretentious or intimidating. The clients are very diverse as well. All of the coaches I’ve worked with are really knowledgeable and approachable, especially Sarge. He takes such an interest in ALL of his clients, whether you go one day a week or 6. The workouts are always a challenge and you’ll see total body results.

Fantastic experience: This is the best training facility I've ever been too. Sarge and his staff are all professionals with extensive knowledge. I use to get bored working out, not here, each session is different and very challenging. The cool thing is whatever your fitness level is you will fit in and be able to challenge yourself. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Sarge Athletics is a wonderful training facility. Adult workouts for middle aged people who don't enjoy exercise, that are fun, engaging, and challenging but appropriate. Great trainers and a supportive atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Joined about 2 years ago to mix in some strength training to help my running. I love it here! Staff is awesome and teach you the right way to do everything. They work with you and push you to your max and beyond.

Fantastic experience: Incredibly knowledgeable staff and a top notch training facility. I was a college athlete in my day. The workouts Sarge provides match or surpass anything I have ever experienced. If you want to increase your flexibility, strength, and endurance, you can make it happen at Sarge.

Fantastic experience: I've joined many gyms in my life and this one is absolutely amazing - from the equipment and challenging work outs to the best and most educated athletic trainers. Especially now - during stay at home orders - Sarge didn't let that even slow him down and put everything on line and I was able to keep my work outs which means I kept (so far) my sanity. With all that said - the people at Sarge is the best thing. They inspire, coach, and get you the best work out possible. LOVE this place!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, especially for kids ( so hard to find great place for kids to exercise properly) Sarge makes it possible. My son loves it.

Fantastic experience: Incredible facility, welcoming and knowledgeable staff. Whether you’re a lifelong bodybuilder, or a novice trying to seek out being healthy, every coach is there for you, regardless of a group setting, or one on one training. No judgement, and eager to help people get better everyday. I’m so glad I found Sarge, and his gym.

Fantastic experience: Great place! If you want to challenge you body- it's the place!

Fantastic experience: Pat and his trainers are the best.as Pat says : it's not a gym it's a training center. I very much appreciate the personal help and how tv he programs are set up to work the body through out the week.

Fantastic experience: I had all 3 of my kids in different programs with Sarge Athletics. It was an excellent experience and all 3 gained the skills, confidence and strength to excel in their school sports.

Fantastic experience: Strong sense of community going to this gym. All of the staff is wonderful, it has been a game changer for me and working out!! I highly recommend trying a boot camp!!!

Fantastic experience: Sarge has a unique ability to find passionate, dedicated, and collaborative coaches that work hard to deliver on their commitment to help your achieve your goals. I couldn’t have been more pleased with my experience at Sarge Athletics and would recommend a visit if you’re looking for a lifestyle change or to take your fitness to a new level.

Fantastic experience: Excellent training center with an outstanding staff. Extremely involved in all aspects of each session. Been training here for over a year now and will continue as long as I am in the area.

Fantastic experience: I was searching for a training facility that offered more than equipment. As a 55+, I was looking for strengthening, core, cardio, conditioning and balance as a workout regimen. I was also looking for diversity. At SA, there are all sorts of classes for young athletes as well. At SA, our workouts focus on all the aspects I was looking for from a gym. The trainers are all very committed and jump in to assist. Not just the trainer working with your group, but any trainer on the floor will lend a hand., or just words of encouragement. I am here at Sarge's 4 times a week, it has now become my home away from home! How crazy is that? Rock on Sarge!

Fantastic experience: Sarge and his team genuinely care about your health and fitness. I joined Sarge Athletics as a 6 week challenge to have a healthier lifestyle. I was skeptical because I’ve tried so many other gyms and work outs, but they never seemed to be the right fit for me. I either felt judged, lost or not good enough to be there. From day 1 at Sarge Athletics I have felt welcomed and had the positive reinforcement I’ve needed to get fit and healthy.

Fantastic experience: Sarge Athletics ... Love it! I'm not young and I learned a lot about how to make a difference in my life. Not just the workouts, which are great... motivating and always different. However the trainers also help with nutrition and an overall balanced approach to making changes and getting results. I've seen many gains/losses over the past year at Sarge. The ability to flex workouts to my needs, helping me understand the importance of stretching, rolling and strengthening core, etc. with goal to "Move Stong", not to mention the welcoming, yet motivating smile of Sarge, trainers and the great people I work out with makes all the difference! Highly suggest Sarge Athletics for anyone looking to be "better every day"!

Fantastic experience: Sarge Athletics opens up a world of achievable possibility. The team helps you focus on becoming your best self in a supportive yet challenging atmosphere. Recommend for anyone, no matter your physical fitness.
