					I have loved working out at Lift since my first visit and now go twice a week.  I particularly like the welcoming friendly atmosphere - everyone is welcome regardless... read more of capability or prior experience.  All the trainers are highly experienced, really listen and tailor the workouts to your specific needs.  The workouts are efficient, focused and exactly tough enough so you feel you have done your best workout - in only 30 minutes!  Pete gives me just the right push each time to get me past what I thought were my limits.  I would strongly (ha!) recommend working out at Lift - you will quickly feel the benefits.

					It’s always been difficult to get into a steady routine and stay motivated, until I started training at LIFT seven months ago with Coach Isaac.  Not only do I... read more have a program designed for my goals, each session is extremely efficient at 45 mins including both strength and cardio work.  I appreciate that he’s been able to design a program that helps me with my tennis elbow pain, all while getting me ready for my wedding this fall!  I cannot recommend LIFT any higher for anyone looking for personal training and achieving your goals. The entire LIFT staff has been welcoming and always exude a positive vibe. They are safe and extremely knowledgeable in doing everything the RIGHT way and making sure you understand why. This is the gym you’ve been looking for!

					I've been working with Abby 3 days a week since October 2021, and it's probably not too much of a stretch to say I'm in love with her.  In... read more all seriousness, after 5 months of 1:1 sessions multiple times a week, I can confidently say that Abby embodies everything I could want in a trainer.  * Abby worked with MY body. She is an educated professional who actively listened to me when I told her the issues I'd been having with tightness in my back and a stiff knee for years. She took the time to understand what was going on with me, and thoughtfully introduced exercises to address and correct my problems. She never forgot about it, never dismissed my previous efforts to help myself, (stretching, physical therapy, yoga, massage therapy, etc.), and continually tweaks my form or variations to make sure we're improving my body.  *Abby is attentive! She never looks at her phone, chats with coworkers, or lets me slack through a movement. Even though I imagine it gets repetitive to remind me to tighten my core or drive through my heels, she's always making sure I'm getting the best workout I can in each session.  *Abby is humble and hilarious. She is SO fit and awesome which could be intimidating, but I feel completely comfortable huffing through movements with her. She makes me feel like she wants me to succeed and progress as much as I do, which just creates an awesome and positive atmosphere. She encourages my goals and progress, which in turn helps me push through tough movements. She's always energied and ready to go in the mornings, and as an added benefit consistently has me laughing at her silly sayings. If you work with her, you'll soon be preferring to Thursday as "Friday Jr."  *Abby produces results! Working with her not only am I getting stronger, but she's helped me incorporate lifestyle changes in a sustainable and encouraging way. She is willing and able to provide nutrition and lifestyle advice. I love so much that she gives me tangible, easily incorporable things to add into my routine. She is an advocate for starting and small and building, and it's great to work with someone who shares a long term vision for lasting results.  If you're looking for a positive, encouraging, attentive, and results-driven trainer, you'll find it all in Abby!

					Amazing Gym!  All the instructors are incredible!  I'm hooked! Never a dull moment! Every single second is used!  Scheduling Training! One of the easiest and most transparent... read more sign up processes where you simply select your date, time, and trainer! And just as simply - you can change any time. So its super convenient and saves you time when scheduling sessions. Also, access to numerous different trainers with different styles and skills to learn from.  7 days a week, all times during the day! So will work for any schedule you have!  I also like how they have a variety of options for 30 minute, 45 minute and 60 minute workouts.  Equipment & Amenities! Best equipment and wide variety to keep you busy. I've done several on my own but nothing matches having a personal trainer take you through all the skills on using each.  Locker room is nice, clean, and everything you need. TV, music and everything else you need!  Honored to be a Member of the Lift community! Thanks for changing my life! :) - Erik
