Reviews - Best FitnessManaging my weight has always been an issue as I did not know how to eat healthy. Eating a 20-piece chicken nugget, large fries, shake AND supersizing was never a problem. After a visit to the doctor, I learned that I had reached an unhealthy 320 lbs and needed to make a lifestyle change. With exercise, focus and will power I dropped 140 lbs in 2 years. I eliminated “sugary” drinks and ALL fast-food as a start. I have been coming to Best Fitness now for nearly three years. My new lifestyle of exercise and eating healthy is now who I am. Working with Sean, my trainer, has aided in my ability to become stronger both mentally and physically; providing support, advice and motivation. Most importantly, he believes in me. There’s not a day that goes by that I turn down any chance to be challenged. It is those challenges that keep me motivated and keep me wondering what’s next in line to conquer. "BELIEVE—STAY STRONG—BE YOUR OWN INSPIRATION"  Mindy Schnare “personal training client” - 01/17/2012 Gym Location: Best Fitness Nashua, PA I want to tell you that my trainer Anthony is a great trainer and really helped me. When I joined Best in March '11 I was recovering from chemo and radiation and all the bad things that come with the methods they use to get you better! I was weak, wasn't breathing very well and in generally pretty bad health. I just finished a 6 month commitment with Anthony and I'm strong now, my posture is better and I look and feel healthy. I'm able to pick up and carry my baby twin grandsons, in their car seats, however far we need to go. I know I'll keep going to Best at least 3 times a week, I've developed some good habits with Anthony's help. Terry A Kirkpatrick - 11/18/2011 Gym Location: Best Fitness Erie, PA I wanted to send an email commending the great staff I have encountered at the Tonawanda location's playroom. I am a new member to Best Fitness. I bought a Best Fitness promotion off Living Social and thought I would try out your facility. I was a member of the Buffalo Athletic Club for 4 years but thought I would try something new. One of the main reasons I was unhappy with the Buffalo Athletic Club was because I was uncomfortable leaving my 1 1/2 year old son in their playroom. It was the first thing I wanted to see when touring your facility. Gerry gave us our initial tour and I was very grateful he didn't they any high pressure sales pitches. I would've walked out if he had. He was very nice and informative. Right away I was impressed the the cleanliness of the playroom and the assortment of activities for the children. The first week I brought my son to the playroom I was so impressed how kind and attentive the ladies working there (Holly & Michelle). My son didn't cry at all and felt very comfortable. I am a stay at home mom and take 45 minutes a day to myself to workout. It is reassuring knowing they are in such good hands. My 2 month living social membership is expiring and I just signed a 2 year contract with Best Fitness mostly because it is somewhere I can go workout and trust my son will be taken care of properly. Both of these morning playroom staff should be recognized for this in my opinion which is why I am writing tins email. I have let many of my friends know how nice your gym and playroom are. Jackey Deschamps - 11/01/2011 Gym Location: Best Fitness Tonawanda, NY Joanne and Michele are amazing, I have been attending the Albany Best Fitness for eight months and I have lost 53 lbs in counting and I plan to refer a lot of other people to join the gym as well. Cynthia Ayers - 10/24/2011 I have had the incredible pleasure and experience of working with Nick Esposito as my personal trainer for 8 weeks now. Without the use of free weights or running, I've enjoyed weight loss ahead of my goals, and an incredible increase of cardiorespiratory endurance. Nick is professional and engaging. He challenges my mental limits by encouraging me and pushing my physical limits. As he continues to learn new techniques and tools, Nick brings them to our sessions and again, encourages and motivates me to try the new and unfamiliar. He's always patient and careful in explaining it to meand believe me when I say he's VERY patient with me and my learning curve! With that, I've been exposed to some new tools that I absolutely love using- TRX and ViPR. Without being overbearing, he gets in my head and just knows when I need to hear that coach talk - "finish strong" "leave it all here". I've done things I never would have imagined doing and have made achievements that I couldn't have accomplished 8 weeks ago. A fact in all of this is, I'm 50 years old, was about 50lbs overweight and have asthma. In the short time I've had with Nick's training and guidance my endurance has increased immensely. When at first I needed my inhaler a few times during a workout- currently, I am able to do a full 1 hour strenuous workout without the need to use my inhaler at all! (Though, he makes certain I have it with me-and constantly checks on me). I am really feeling a loss in Nick's departure from Best Fitness, Chelmsford. Although I tease him about abandoning me, my true feeling is, he deserves to be elevated as a personal trainer and this loss of mine, is a huge gain for Best Fitness, Erie's trainer staff and clients. Be good to him ... or I'll come there and tear him back! Nancy Hill - Westford, Mass., 10/11/2011 Love the new Bodypump class as well as Zumba! Are there any chances we will be getting the Les Mills Sh'bam classes at the Chelmsford location? It sounds amazing! Denise MacDonald, 8/19/2011 I just wanted to say what a great job Jennifer did at the Zumba class she subed for two Monday's ago. When I got home I looked at the schedule to see when she taught and was disappointed that I didn't see her at either the Nashua or Chelmsford location. Her music was great and she did an excellent job teaching the class. Amy DeFiore, 7/25/2011 Much more than a gym … Best Fitness has lots of equipment, programs and classes that have helped me get into the best shape I have ever been in. The personal trainers are extremely helpful and knowledgeable … even with nutrition. An all-around top notch fitness and health environment. Check them out. 5 out of 5 stars. Eric Smith I was in town for a couple of days and used the Erie facility. I was very impressed with Best Fitness...by far one of the best gyms I have worked out in...five star!!! The GM was a class act. Thanks for a great experience! Josh Doup Dear Karli, I wanted to write you about a GREAT experience that I have had at Best Fitness in Nashua NH, particularly my great experience with Jerry Brown. I have been training with him for 18 sessions now and I can’t believe what a transformation it has made, both physically and mentally. My self esteem has soared. I owe all this to Jerry and his great attitude, professionalism, and caring for his clients. My goals with him have exceeded what I expected to achieve. I was hoping to lose some weight, but I have now done that and more. Jerry has helped me tone and lose 21lbs. I came to Best Fitness about a year ago to buy some personal training sessions. The trainer that I was placed with was terrible. He was not understanding to my needs or goals. His customer service skills were beyond lacking. He would cut my sessions short, talk about himself the whole time and not respect my schedule, as he stood me up 2 times. I stopped using my sessions because it felt hopeless and a waste of time. About 8 weeks ago I decided to come back and use my sessions because I had already paid for them. I came in thinking that I was just going to use the last sessions and never get personal training from Best Fitness again. I ended up knocking on an office door to see if someone could help me find my trainer. Jerry came out to help me and found out that the trainer that I was assigned to was no longer with the company. He at that point asked my goals. Honestly, I was just appeasing him, because I had my mind made up that I would never sign up for any further training again. After my 2nd session with Jerry, I realized how much I loved working with him. It was a completely different experience. I signed up for an additional 3 months and I plan to re-sign after these sessions are through. I would and DO recommend him to anyone I meet. People are wowed by my transformation and I owe it to Jerry. Thank You, |
