What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews highlight several highly praised staff members, including Steven (masseuse), Cristina, Colton Mason, and Coach John Lewis (personal trainers), and Nathan Schwartz (nutritionist), all commended for their knowledge, personalized approach, ability to motivate, and positive client outcomes such as improved strength, balance, and overall well-being. Common themes for these individuals include clear explanations, effective form correction, and creating an enjoyable, challenging, and supportive environment. General facility feedback includes positive comments on well-maintained machines, but also concerns about a crowded weight room due to physical therapy expansion, a need for more floor mats, and a request for increased heat in the men's locker room.

Steven is so knowledgeable and does such a great job. He takes his time to listen and shows me exactly where we will be working. He always checks in and never pushes too far. I have had massages forever and I am so happy I found Steven.

Cristina is an amazing personal trainer. I was really nervous to start, but she immediately made me feel comfortable and now I view her as a friend. She makes workouts that challenge me, but that are also really enjoyable. I always look forward to working out with her. She does a great job explaining what each exercise does and correcting my form when necessary so that I don't hurt myself. I love the improvements in myself I've seen during my time with her, and she always knows how to make me feel great about myself. I couldn't ask for a better coach!

I have worked with Colton Mason as a personal trainer for ~10 weeks. Of note, he is the first personal trainer I have ever used. Colton has been the perfect fit for me. He has tailored our workouts to my objectives. Keeps each session challenging and interesting with new and different actions focused on increasing strength and flexibility in every day activities. He is very personable and makes me look forward to our workouts I have also been working with Nathan Schwartz as my nutritionist . The “program” has been easy to follow and Nathan does a great job of explaining things, providing guidance, helping to address challenges and helpful ideas to help build good habits. Very practical in his approach and clearly knows his material and adapts well to the client.

I have been training with Coach John Lewis for over a year. He is kind and compassionate yet firm with his "just one more"! I am 62 years old and have seen significant improvement in my strength and balance. Coach Lewis will modify workouts to fit my abilities and is very patient in correcting my form. With regular assessments he readjusts the routines to focus on areas that need improvement. Highly recommend.

Frank is a great personal trainer! Christina always greets me with a smile. I’m I’m not happy with giving up space for the physical therapy business. Now the weight room is way too crowded. I have to wait in line for the floor mats. Please get some more floor mats. You could add more heat in the men’s locker room. The machines seem to be fine and well maintained.
