Best Physical Fitness Program Worcester Near Me

Joey Ruffo: A great place to exercise. Great equipment and very clean facility. Excellent and helpful staff.

George Maharis: They are too expensive to begin with. Plus, unprofessional staff.

Thomas McGinley: At $109 and up per month (for month-to-month), WF is at the top of the regional market pricewise and, having been a member for a year now, increasingly I have felt that the value is not there.The equipment is serviceable, although there are some serious 'bottlenecks,' e.g. one set of fly cables in the entire facility, only one quality set of battle ropes (in a class studio, so usually inaccessible), one public sled often used by PT, which can derail workouts. Furthermore, a huge portion of the downstairs workout sections have been allocated to classes/PT. I understand the need to raise revenue, but this comes at the expense of the baseline experience which, at $109+/month, should feel like more than an afterthought. For gym users who just want to get in, get through your sets, and get out, I can't recommend WF in light of the amount of the dues.Lastly, for my month-to-month membership, WF collected last month's dues at sign-up. I have submitted my cancellation, but now I have access to the facility for an additional month, which I neither want nor need. I should have pushed back on this when I first signed up...be forewarned of this practice.Edit: WF’s response highlights the facility’s focus on all users other than those who wish to get in, get through their sets, and get out (i.e. do not need classes/PT). Which is fine! No facility can be everything to everyone; in my case, it was not a fit. I stand by my critiques of equipment bottlenecks at WF. Working people, at least, are not able to access the boot camp studio during the majority of the day, as they are working during the majority of the day (during the workweek). I made no accusation of lack of transparency regarding collection of last month’s dues at sign-up, but it is an ill-advised business practice as it encourages members who are ready to move on and have submitted their cancellation to continue utilizing the facility as the last month’s dues have already been collected. I maintain that I should have pushed back on this practice when I signed up, and I encourage potential members to do so, to avoid this awkward situation.

Pat Sylvester: Class reunion

Jacqueline Ahearn: Tremendouse-!!!

Margo Murphy: Wonderful pool equipment available to use by the poolside, clean salt and chlorine water mixed, hot clean showers and locker room. respectful friendly supportive staff. must book to schedule pool Lane, quick to respond if you leave a message. due to the covid that you must call ahead which guarantees you a lane, time you want half hour or 60 minute swim. Enjoy💜

David Lamontagne: I have been a satisfied member of Worcester Fitness for 7 years now, but wanted to update an earlier review to add my thoughts on the new Peak Fitness program they have added this year. This program truly take my workouts to a new level. The Power Met Con classes combine the motivation and camaraderie of a group class with the individual coaching of a Fitness professional. I also love the fact that they offer so many classes so I can always fit one in regardless of my schedule. Thank you Paul and team!

Matt Savage: It's the best gym in the city by far. The equipment and facility are in great condition, but what makes Worcester Fitness special are the owners and employees. They are knowledgeable and kind, always willing to lend a helping hand. It's a cliche but being a member is really like being part of a community.

Kenny Janulewicz: Bartender Grady is awesome and the crowd and atmosphere were great!

Dot Shea: Worcester Fitness provides a safe, caring and personalized exercise experience for all members. Be sure to go and check it out!!

Coconut Monkey: can you please post more picture of equipment. like do you have a standing hack squat machine? i dont see one in the few pics you have of the equipment. leg day isnt complete without a standing hack squat. thanks

Cara Bjorklund: The parent-child swim lessons were engaging for my infant son. Kat, our instructor, engaged her students through song and gentle but progressive interactions with the water. He's now comfortable with the water and we're still able to use the language and songs Kat used during instruction.

Michael McCluskey: Great Swim Program! All the staff and instructors are great with the kids. I’ve had children go through all levels and highly recommend introducing your infant to water with Worcester Fitness.

Claudia Vallejos: My girls love their swim classes at Worcester Fitness, they look forward to them every week. The teachers and entire staff at WF are awesome. The classes are small and the kids receive great instruction. Would recommend to anyone looking for swim lessons.

Christina Olson: We have always been pretty big on water safety and wanted to get our children swimming early. We have been to multiple sessions and had multiple instructors for their swim program and we have seen such incredible progress with both our daughters. Our oldest is comfortable and confident in the pool. She looks forward to each week and is excited when she makes progress from week to week! Our youngest is in the parent-child class and she loves when it's pool day. The inclusion of music and lessons has really helped her thrive! We will stick with Worcester Fitness for our swim classes and recommend them to everyone looking for classes!

Colleen Donahue: Worcester Fitness swimming lessons have been a wonderful experience for my daughter. She started attending when she was 7 months old. She is now 2 and loves going so much that she asks multiple times a week to put on her bathing suit and go to the pool. The instructors are knowledgeable, engaging, and bring positive energy to the class. I highly recommend this program.

Nadine Young: My 4 and 6 year old have been enjoying private lessons with Christine for nearly a year. I cannot belive the progress they have made - from getting comfortable in the water, learning water safety, and most recently new strokes. They have built skill and confidence, and it has been a great experience watching them grow each week.

Lauren Robichaud: Both my boys attend swim lessons. The teachers are amazing and patient. I have seen such improvement with their swimming and they love the water now.

Elyse Favreau: We love swimming lessons at Worcester Fitness! My 3.5 year old been attending weekly for about 6 months now and has become so much more comfortable in the water. Miss Kat and the other instructors do a fantastic job introducing a variety of swimming techniques and water safety lessons. We would strongly recommend this program!

Joseph Cancelmo: My daughter was good in the water, however having a pool in the back yard, I wanted her to be stronger - so off to Worcester fitness we went - we started with regular classes and I decided private would be more beneficial and I was right. Her instructor Laura was a saint and my daughter is a sting swimmer now because of it. I even had my step son go and he is now on a new level. We are going to resume more lessons this spring to keep the momentum.

She answered all my questions and truly helped me better understand how to approach my workouts to reach my goals! I look forward to taking another class here :)

Jessica Sabourin: Orangetheory has really changed my life. I need something different for my workouts and I finally tried Orangetheory in spring of 2022. I have been committed every since! The coaches and staff are wonderful. I've made new friends in the OTF community. My mental and physical health have greatly improved. OTF pushes me the way I wouldn't normally push myself.

Lauren Simard: I started OrangeTheory a little over a week ago, and I can't even begin to say how much I love it. It's never boring, all of the Worcester coaches are personable/helpful, and I feel so much happier and accomplished when the workout is done.

Steven Hardies: Critical:Communication,Professionalism,Quality

Lauren Smith: Critical:Professionalism,QualityApparently when you call. Complain the facility then calls the cops and cancels your membership and then gets a no trespassing what kinda place is this 😂😂😂😂 I literally called cancel my membership then they turn around call cops and have them tell me no trespassing wow no wounder why 1 star reviews

Shannon Rice: Positive:Communication,Quality

Catherine Coipel: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality

Jennifer Gallotta: Each workout is slightly different and always challenging. The coaches are encouraging and help keep you motivated and engaged. Best part for me though is how great I feel afterwards!

Shannon RooneyAscher: I am so glad I found David and Adaptive Exercise for my son. David provides my son with online one to one sessions once a week. He knows exactly how to motivate my son, keep him moving, and pushes him just enough to challenge him without making it too hard. He's definitely a pro at what he does! My couch potato teen actually looks forward to his weekly sessions. He's building muscle, increasing his stamina, and getting some much needed cardio all while having fun with David. I love it!

Michelle King (Box of Chocolates Jewelry): Great program and lots of variety. David is fantastic.

Susan Loring: David's ability to connect with people on the spectrum elicits the most incredible response to the exercise routines. He utilizes several modalities so that everyone is successful. My son participated for years in the Autism Resource Center's Group Exercise sessions with David, so I've seen his ability to modify his approach to suit the needs of varying abilities and "styles". He uses spoken word, prompting the individuals to participate, visual cues through gestures and equipment that helps the person to be successful, such as dots for their place on the floor, footstep shapes to guide them through an exercise that includes movement handprint shapes for proper hand placement. He models each exercise first so that the individual knows what is expected and will guide those who need it through the motions involved until they are independent in that movement and exercise. He elicits each individual's best and keeps them engaged through praise and reinforcements, like high fives and pats on the back.Covid meant that my son was inactive for 2 years and his weight ballooned to over 400 lbs, posing a health risk. When DDS provided funding for a self-directed program David was the 1st call I made. Ed is now working 1:1 with David and has a 1:1 aide who will use the exercise routines daily to help Ed lose weight, and rebuild his core strength and endurance.If you've a child on the spectrum who needs to engage in physical activities David can provide that using evidence-based methods to improve your child's participation in healthy exercise.

Nguyen Phan: David is amazing and his instructions pairing with the visual support tool works out really well with my son. It was so impressed that my son was able to follow David's instruction with minimal support from the Behavioral Staff on the first visit. My son usually requires a 2:1 support to keep him on a new task and transition to a new activity. He is very attentive and the directions from David is clear, slow with the gesture, visual support helps my son understand the expectation. I think I like the best from David is his teaching methodology with the blending therapies. I highly recommend this program to anyone who needs to find exercise for their special needs loved one. Thank you very much David for providing this excellent services.

renee earnest: David is amazing. My son had put on a lot of weight during the pandemic and was really out of shape. David has been working with him for over two months and it really shows. The weight is coming off slowly just due to the increased movement, and he is getting his stamina back. The program he has created for my son is very challenging, but so much fun. My son gets so excited every Monday for David to come over and "play" with him. David is not only fun, but professional, respectful and friendly. I cannot recommend David enough.

Stacey Lavely: Absolutely love Dave. Great guy and wonderfully attentive to those with special needs.

Lisa Fay: My son started with Adaptive Exercise and right from the starting point I could see that David knew what he was doing. The trainings are virtual for now but even the virtual exceeded my expectations. The session started promptly on time, the directions were stated clearly so my son would understand. The thing I like best was the positive reinforcement throughout the session. Best of all my son felt great about himself and I could see increased energy and self esteem after only two sessions. Thank you for providing this service!

Kevin Hanegan: Great experience! My son not only got a great workout, but he enjoyed it as well. Highly recommended

Caroline DOURADO DE CARVALHO: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityGreat professional, I am very satisfied with the therapy done with my son. I recommend

Barbara Dugan: Adaptive Exercise is a wonderful place for people with special needs. My son is 23 years old and is autistic. Working out with me wasn't do it. David came and worked with my son and it was great. David knows how to get him working and when to give him a break, he is wonderful.I highly recommend this program to anyone who needs to bring exercise to their special needs loved one! Thank you David for all you do for our families!!!

Deb Pacella: My 15yr old son (ASD) just did David's class this past Saturday and it was awesome. The environment was very friendly and welcoming. The kids doing the class seemed to truly enjoy themselves and get a workout too. Each exercise is easily adaptable for all levels, which is nice. David is clear with directions and knows how to keep the kids focused and moving. I like how the parents can participate as well. Highly recommend trying a class.

Classes are offered on the hour throughout the day and can easily be booked in advance. I have only been for 2 weeks and I feel so much stronger and more confident. Highly recommend!!!

David Naigles: This place is fantastic! Frank, Diane, Joe and all the other trainers are knowledgeable and supportive. This has been one of the best training experiences of my life

Joshua Ross: Extremely professional staff of coaches willing to help you achieve your goals, but you have to make that first step and join. The staff will teach you how to properly workout no matter what your skill level is. They make working out fun and challenging. If you have never stepped into a gym or it’s been a long time since you have, I definitely recommend Stronger Personal Training.

Ellie Licari: Absolutely amazing gym!! The trainers are awesome and they welcome all fitness levels. Would highly recommend.

Shantanu Patil: This is the best gym in area. Frank knows his nutrition. Both Joe and Diane are excellent trainers and human beings. It's always nice to work out with them. A bit expensive in today's world of planet fitness but worth every penny if you are serious about your health

Mariah Kaplan: Positive:Professionalism

Julie McDonald: I have exercised my whole adult life and have tried a variety of workout programs and gyms over the years which were all great in their own way. I joined Stronger a little over 2 years ago and I can comfortably say this is my gym for life. The workouts at Stronger are programmed to fit every age and every fitness level and you as the member decide what works best for you. Frank and all of his coaches are encouraging, motivating, fun and most of all incredibly knowledgable in their field of fitness. It's a judgement free, energetic, happy environment and if 10 stars was a thing that's what they deserve!!

Tyan Harer: I am so grateful to have found Stronger. By the far the absolute best gym I have ever been to. The trainers make a effort to know every single person by name and genuinely love what they do. I felt comfortable and welcomed the second I walked into the building and honestly couldn’t imagine my life anymore without it. The workouts are challenging and effective. I leave every time time feeling so much better both mentally and physically. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Shayna Bonzey: After taking the “Covid year” off from this gym, Frank, Brian, Joe and Diane have me back on track in just 4 months! They welcomed me back in with open arms and were ready to make a personalized eating and workout plan that I could stick to. The positive energy in this gym is unmatched! They hold you accountable to your plan and help you along the way! The workouts are challenging and are all able to be modified to your needs. I can’t say enough about this gym and all of the trainers!

K D: Love the 1:1 guidance these fitness instructors provide during my workouts!

Michael Thibodeau: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityGreat staff. Very knowledgeable about nutrition and how to best work your body.
