Training For Warriors Boston

Training For Warriors created some of most fun experiences I’ve ever had working out, and certainly some of the most motivating.
Here’s the deal: I started my first month pretty out-​of-​shape. I hadn’t worked out in months, I couldn’t run a mile without heaving, and felt like Jell-​O. So I was worried that I’d be entering a place where I would get scolded being terrible at basically everything. What did I get at TFW? None of that bad juju. I entered an environment where everyone was positive. Encouraging. The people you work out with become your cheerleaders. Everyone tries, no one judges.
The staff members are well-​trained and attentive. I think it’s important for a trainer to not only know a lot of exercises, but also have an awareness of what the individual is capable of and how to help them improve. My Kryptonite? Push-​ups. Ask me to do a push-​up, and I’m dead. But Stan had some tricks up his sleeve that helped me perform a modified push-​up that I *was* capable of, and put me on a path to do a proper push-​up. I can now do some full push-​ups and I’m pretty proud of that.
The gym is located in Chinatown, about a 5 minute walk from South Station and Downtown Crossing. There is plenty of equipment in the gym — free weights, squat racks, TRX systems, elastic bands for everybody. (Seriously, everyone can have an elastic band. Oprah would be proud.). These are all put to use in the group training sessions, and because there is such a variety it results a different workout every time. (To clarify for the Unilocalers: This is NOT a gym like BSC where you can sprint on a treadmill for an hour with Drake’s «Hotline Bling» blasting on your headphones.)
The cost is pretty much in-​line with other boot camp and circuit training workouts in the downtown Boston area. I wasn’t able to continue a membership because it was outside of my budget, but I had a lot of fun in my month there and can say the membership cost is worth every dollar for what you get — health, happiness, positivity. If you’ve been considering hiring a weekly personal trainer to stay motivated, I’d recommend trying out TFW first because you might get as much, if not more, bang for your buck.

With all the information out there about fitness and nutrition, from high fat diets to eating like a caveman and crossfit and Olympic weight lifting, it’s tough to sort through all that information and find something that works for you. I have tried just about everything, and se things worked, se things didn’t, so I could never really stay on track and stick to something. TFW cuts through all the mess and helps you figure out what works for you. The coaches here are wicked knowledgeable and really break things down to you and not just tell you what to do, but why you’re doing it. I had major shoulder problems which prevented me from really doing anything involving heavy weights, but with the help of the coaches at TFW, I feel like a new man, I have no problems whatsoever with my shoulders or anything really. They also offer nutritional guidance and general well being advice, they really do give you the complete package.

Excellent coaches full of energy and always motivating you to do better, which is greatly appreciated. They are very knowledgeable: great advice on performing the right movements and right exercises to make you reach your goals without hurting yourself (some people like me didn’t exercise for years!). The vibe of the gym is really cool since everyone knows each other!

This place is great & the trainers are incredible! I’m really happy I found TFW. I deadlifted 245 lbs and can’t wait to see where I can go from here. Please check them out if you’re looking to change your life for the better.

Training for Warriors has changed the way I see fitness and working out. I was stuck in a cycle of joining a gym, going for a couple months and then completely stopping. The coaches and other members are so supportive and such great motivators that I want to keep going and look forward to the time I get to spend with these awesome people. The coaches (specifically Coach Stan) have pushed me harder than I thought I could be pushed. It’s a supportive, motivating push, not a bullying, do-​it-​or-​else kind of motivation that other exercise programs tend to use. I look forward to getting stronger and in even better shape with these guys. LOVE YOU!
