Still not bored and I really enjoy the "Us against Jeff" comradery of the team workouts.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of iDEAL Fitness for almost a year now. I’ve tried many gyms in the past and none of them have kept me consistently motivated the way iDEAL has! Jeff, Marianne, and Jen are fantastic trainers that work with you as an individual in a small group setting. Workouts at iDEAL are always challenging , fun and in the most welcoming environment.

Fantastic experience: Change is never easy. I know this first hand. This gym has changed my life. I was overweight, tired all the time and I felt horrible about my body image. It was up to me to change this. I was told over and over again “join a gym” for years I resisted. Until one day I hit rock bottom and I had to change my attitude. Found Ideal online and loved the idea. I took a chance and almost a year later I’m in the best shape of my life. I feel great and look amazing. You can do this also! Jeff and his team are great and have become a gym family to me. It’s not easy. But nothing worth doing is. The classes are great a lot of HIT and weights on different days. It’s not like CrossFit I believe they focus more on not getting hurt. You will see a change if you change your mindset.

Fantastic experience: Hands down this is the best gym that I have ever been a part of. For the first time in my life I enjoy going to the gym and I actually get upset when I miss a day. It’s an incredible group of people that hold me accountable and encourage me to do well. Jeff, Marianne, and Jenn are extremely professional and have created an atmosphere that is welcoming and fun. I love participating in the challenges and being a part of small group exercises. I have gained all the necessary tools for success as a healthy individual thanks to iDeal Fitness! I am grateful that my friends convinced me to join because I have never felt better!

The size of the classes are perfect because it allows the trainers to focus on each of us to be sure we are getting the most out of the workouts and doing them correctly.

Fantastic experience: Ideal Fitness is the hands down best place to get a butt kicking workout that not only whips you into shape, but safely and correctly.

Fantastic experience: Do you want to get in the best shape of your life and have fun while doing it? IDEAL Fitness is the place for you. The Group training is challenging and the exercises, reps, and duration of the exercise change daily so you never get bored and your body is always challenged. All exercises and adaptations are demonstrated before the class begins. Fun challenges are offered to keep you motivated in both diet and exercise.

Jenn and Marianne give great advice and push you to your fullest potential. This gym is very welcoming from the moment you step into the establishment. You’re greeted with a smile and conversation about what your fitness goals are. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: After being a member of another gym for two years with minimal results I’m so glad I took a chance on a challenge at Ideal! The workouts are fun, the people are friendly and (sometimes) funny! Instead of dreading it, I look forward to working out. The results are an added bonus! Highly recommended to anyone needing some extra motivation.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at iDeal for three months and have lost 18+ lbs, but have gained much more. I feel stronger and more confident and my posture has changed completely! I battle with low back pain and after two babies I was really struggling to get fit without worrying about my back. I have learned ways to support my back, while being able to push myself at the same time. I highly recommend this program.

Fantastic experience: If you want to have SO MUCH FUN while getting fit, iDeal Fitness is the place for you! You can start at any level of fitness and feel comfortable in any group class. iDeal Fitness finds very entertaining ways to challenge you, from Skinny Jeans challenge, to Thinner Winner and my new favorite...Fitness Impossible. You will find a very energetic and positive attitude among the staff and members! Members are so encouraging of each other and you make lasting friendships. The iDeal family keeps me waking up early and coming back each day with a big smile!

Fantastic experience: I joined iDeal Fitness in July 2018; I have thoroughly enjoyed going. Not only have I learned how to workout more efficiently, but I have learned how to live a healthier life overall. I have also developed some great relationships along the way. Jeff (Owner & Instructor) creates fun and competitive contests, throughout the year, to encourage friendly competition with others, but more importantly, yourself! Marianne (Instructor) brings a different perspective to working out its her caring and informative approach. You cannot go wrong joining this gym family! For the first time, I am genuinely enjoying working out!

Fantastic experience: IDEAL is by far the best gym that I have been to. The workouts are hard and tiring but you feel great when it’s all said and done.The group setting is wonderful because no one like to workout alone. Jeff is the owner and he is so personable and makes you feel comfortable and confident during your workout. All of the trainers there are very knowledgeable, encouraging and make each day fun and enjoyable. If you want to get into shape and have fun while doing it, join Ideal.

Fantastic experience: I’ve gone to several gyms over the last few years, and iDeal Fitness far surpasses all of them, setting the bar high! The workouts are honestly the best I’ve ever had! They’re not your typical group workout classes. They’re high intensity metabolic and weight training workouts, where we’re always doing something new and challenging. Jeff is so good about catering to my knee issues, giving alternatives so I still get in a good workout. And when I have questions about diet and nutrition, he’s helpful and gives great feedback. I just can’t say enough about how wondering Jeff, Marianne, and Jen are, and highly recommend iDeal Fitness!

Fantastic experience: From the moment you step through the door at iDeal Fitness, you belong. Jeff, Jen, & Marianne always greet you by name with a smile and welcoming conversation. Your fellow gym mates will be people of all fitness levels who are happy to see you and engage with you. After a warmup routine, your body will be challenged to a creative workout consisting of resistance training or a form of HIIT. However, there is never a need to feel intimated because modifications are offered to cater to individual needs. During the workouts the trainers are really good at watching over you to correct your form, to push you when needed, or to tell you to give yourself a break before getting back in the routine. At the end of the routine a “finisher” is offered to keep your body in the fat-burning zone long after your workout is complete. Trust me, you will always feel accomplished when you walk out the door. Basically, I give iDeal Fitness five stars because of the convenient location, ample parking, trainers who take a personal interest in you and your goals, laid back atmosphere(you will smile & even laugh during your workouts), great community, varied (never boring)workouts, and, of course, the results. If you are looking for a new gym to call “home”, try iDeal Fitness. I’m so glad I did!!!

Fantastic experience: Im approaching my first anniversary at Ideal Fitness. After two babies I suddenly found myself 60lbs overweight. I tried several gyms and diets but nothing that I could stick with or even maintain. Working out at ideal has been such a great experience. I never thought I’d say that I actually enjoy and look forward to working out. Jeff, Jenn and Marianne have created such a welcoming atmosphere where you are consistently motivated and challenged in a non-intimating environment. The workouts are tough but fun and the results are real!

Fantastic experience: Ideal Fitness is more than a gym. It is a fun place with encouraging people who care about each other. No judgment. No drama.

He cares about each members personal goals and works with you to meet them. You will not find a better fitness center!!

Fantastic experience: Jeff is hands down the best personal trainer I've worked with. At the first appointment, he does a thorough fitness assessment so that he can help you train in the best way possible. He's extremely knowledgeable and really cares about his client's health and progress. The workouts change daily so you don't get bored doing the same thing over and over. I really look forward to going to the gym because I know I'll have fun while getting a great workout.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at Ideal Fitness for over 2 years and could not be happier. I have had chronic back pain due to scoliosis and have tried many things to deal with it.

The small groups are so fun and Jeff really knows how to work with each person individually, even though it is group training. I hight recommend Ideal Fitness!
