I don’t really like this gym. Too small and too crowded. Bunch of muscle heads 2

Ok, so I may be a bit biased here as I know one of the owners of TPF. However, I must say it is one of the BEST gyms I’ve been too! So many good things to say! 1) Trainers First of all, the trainers are AWESOME!!! I must say I used to be very active in college and then adulthood happened and couldn’t make it to the gym as often as I wanted to and I definitely wasn’t eating as healthy as I wanted to. Needless to say, I gained unwanted weight over the years and didn’t feel good about myself. So I decided to make a change. I started training with Brian Stutson last April. He is AWESOME!!! It was only an hour at a time about once a week or so. He had me do a variety of workouts — cardio, lifting. He pushed me, but he also made it super fun because the routine was always changing! Over the next several months, I found myself getting stronger, faster and overall feeling better! I also started eating healthy again. Overall, after about 3 – 4 months, I lost about 10 lbs! Seriously, no joke! I’ve been keeping up with it and feel great! Brian’s wife, Kristie also teaches some of the kids there. She is WONDERFUL! Super friendly and encouraging! Of note, she is currently pregnant and I have never seen any other preggers as fit as her! All the other trainers are awesome too! They really know what they are doing and pay attention to your goals — whether that is to lose 20 lbs, get better abs, or just getting lean and trim. They are always changing their routine every time you train with them so you never get bored! One day, you may be focusing more on cardio, other days you may be doing more lifting. Either way, they make it super fun! 2) Classes I really like the small focus classes! There are only about 3 – 5 people at a time. It’s perfect for people who don’t like those overwhelming big workout classes that other gyms have. I also take the boxing class taught by Kevin Ryan. It’s a high cardio workout that gets you sweating in no time! It’s such a GREAT class with a GREAT instructor! You’re definitely gonna have fun with it! Plus, what’s better than taking all the built up stress from life/work/what have you and taking it out on a bag? Nothing! The now have American Ninja Warrior classes which look like so much fun too! I have yet to try that! 3) Gym The size of the gym is perfect! It’s nice and just big enough for one on one training and small classes. It’s not overwhelming with 500 different machines that you don’t know how to use. 4) The people/staff Again, please refer to #1. Everyone is super friendly and very welcoming! This includes not only the staff, but the clients. It’s a place where you can feel comfortable and not intimidated at all! Everyone is so encouraging! It’s a gym family :) 5) Location Living in the city(originally from the burbs), it’s nice to be able to go to a gym with a PARKINGLOT!!! that’s FREE! The location is in a strip mall and easy to get to. Great place with great people! Highly recommend this to anyone looking to loose weight, get fit and have fun!

I used to train with Kristie, the owner’s wife, at another gym long ago and reconnected with her on Facebook, only to discover this hidden gem of a training gym right in my hood — which happens to be owned by her husband. So, I went in for a consultation and was hooked. It’s not a large location, but the heart is large in this one my friend! I now train with Kevin Ryan twice a week in a small training group. The price is reasonable for the small group and the workout is never boring. Kevin is always available via text or phone if I have nutrition questions or questions about anything else. He is encouraging and I look forward to my workouts. If you’re looking to lose weight, or improve your health, I highly recommend checking this place out. You’ll feel supported, encouraged, and most of all — you’ll see results.
