“I have been a member of Healthtrax for 9 years. Until a week ago, I had not been to the gym since COVID. So glad I started to come back. The staff is friendly, the facility has much to offer, and the best thing is that it’s kept so much cleaner than before COVID. keep up the good work 😁🌻”
“So Happy that I started this weight loss Journey and choose Ampz Fitness
Come and join this family you will not regret it!!!????????”
“I love this place! Clean facility, plenty of equipment, knowledgeable and friendly staff. They’re attentive to your needs and ability, ensuring safety, while supporting progress. A wonderful gym for pushing yourself no matter what level of athleticism you’re at. Workout structure is great, and so is the music selection! So glad that my partner found this place for us!”
“I was a bit hesitant to switch gyms after moving from Massachusetts but I’m really glad I found this place. The community is super welcoming and you feel right at home from the start. Nick and Heather are wonderful owners who seem to really care about their members.
Prices are definitely in line with being in Farmington Valley, CT area, but the quality of coaching, facility, and community make it absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!”
“I started going to F45 about 2 years ago and absolutely love it. There are adults in there of all ages and fitness levels. I like how you can scale or modify any station needed. The coaches really make the place too - it's evident they really care about your form, goals and that you enjoy being there. I feel the workouts are effective, thorough and efficient. You're in about in 45 minutes including the warm up and cool down. They utilize a user friendly app so you can reserve a spot in the class time you want. My favorite part is what a nice community of people are there. You can count on running into familiar friendly faces that step up and cheer each other on each time. If you are new to working out, an experienced athlete or anywhere in between, definitely give F45 a try. As a local Chiropractor, I enjoy regularly referring my patients here as part of their self care plan.”
“If you’re looking for a gym that feels like home, this is it.
I returned to CrossFit after a hiatus while having kids, and it has been so much fun. The 6am class works best for me with having little kids at home, and I love starting the day here. I’m always so excited to go. All the members are so welcoming. I was intimidated to return to CrossFit, but after my first class, I felt like I’d always been of the community.
Erik, the owner, creates exceptional programming. It is truly a full scope of fitness, not just traditional CrossFit. The programming is sustainable, I never feel burnt out, and I’ve gotten noticeably stronger and overall more athletic since starting here about a year ago. All the coaches are excellent, make you feel incredibly welcome, and give quantifiable feedback so you continue to improve.
I’m grateful to be here and can’t wait to see how my fitness journey continues at Viking Athletics.”

“If your looking for a great place to workout and get a pump, BIG SKY!! It’s has plenty of top of the line workout equipment and top tier staff. The environment is very beginner friendly and I highly recommend this gym to all of workouts buddies!”
“I’ve been a member since 2021 and truly cannot recommend this gym enough. Owners Jason and Becky along with coaches Ally and Erica have created an incredibly welcoming, family-oriented environment that feels genuine from day one.
They’ve supported me through so many life stages — from being a new college graduate and bride to pregnancy and now postpartum. They’ve helped me navigate injuries, asthma challenges, pregnancy complexities, and most recently postpartum c-section recovery with thoughtful programming and real care. They’ve been pivotal in my health journey.
What sets this gym apart is the community. Jason has always preached that CrossFit can be for anyone. They welcome spouses, friends, family members — and even my baby boy. They care about him, love on him, and make it possible for me to continue prioritizing my health as a new mom.
If you’re looking for knowledgeable coaches who truly invest in you as a whole person, this is the place. Five stars isn’t enough.”
“Tebucky’s passion for fitness is like no other. I have done personal training, boot camp, and group classes. If you put in the work, you WILL get results. Nutrition packages are available and they aren’t the bland diets you’re used to. Highly recommend if you want your body in its peak performance. ????”
“This gym is way more than workouts. The community is fun, welcoming, and pushes you in the best way possible. Every workout is challenging, no matter your fitness level—but it’s always scalable so everyone can win. Since joining, this place has completely changed my life. I’m healthier, mentally stronger, and it’s even strengthened my marriage. Training together, supporting each other, and being part of this community has been a game changer. Grateful for this place and these people.”
“I had an excellent personal training session with Jonathan at FWJ! From the start, he was motivating, knowledgeable, and fully attentive to my fitness goals. The 7:30 AM session was challenging yet perfectly tailored to my needs, pushing me without feeling overwhelming. Jonathan’s expertise really shows — he focused on proper form, personalized adjustments, and keeping the energy high throughout.
Highly recommend him to anyone serious about reaching their next fitness level!”
“I was so impressed on my first visit by the cleanliness of the gym and the friendliness of the owner, Jeff. I observed him motivating the person he was training and making sure the client had proper form. There were people of different ages and abilities. I felt welcome and did not feel judged. I highly recommend this gym and Jeff as a personal trainer. He will create workouts to help you reach your personal goals!”

“Exercise can't be fun, can it? Well, if you attend just one class at Empower Fitness, you will learn that you can get a challenging workout AND have fun doing it. The music is upbeat and the instructors provide excellent cues and are inspiring. Jazzercise is more than dancing - we use weights according to our comfort level and the studio is a "no judgement zone." If you are bored on the treadmill at your gym, if you are looking for a community of welcoming instructors and members, give Empower Fitness a try. You won't be disappointed.”

“I was visiting family and found this gem of a gym. I only went a couple times while I was visiting. Each time i came every one was very welcoming and warm. The coaches were knowledgeable and the space felt great. I will definitely come back next time I'm in town.”
“Excellent cross-training gym if you are looking for group workout classes. With a full membership you will also have access to the gym outside of class hours for individual workouts. Great equipment and an amazing coaching staff at both locations”
“Super friendly owner who’s very knowledgeable. The studio offers a variety of classes and has multiple rooms with various functions including: cycling, bar, and weight class. I worked harder than I have in a long time and will certainly be sore tomorrow. Fun vibes, kind ppl, good music.”

The community was amazing wasn’t your typical class, this class was filled with laughter and great conversations all while moving through the pain of core work lol best part was I got to meet new people as soon as I walked in!!!”
“I have been working out at YES Fitness for the past 3.5 years. I can't believe the difference in how I feel. I am stronger and more confident. I have osteoporosis and had a recent bone scan that showed I had increased my spine bone density by 20%! The staff is very knowledgeable, helpful and supportive. I have never been a gym person. Now I can't imagine my week without my three workout sessions. I love this place! Thank you all!”
“Started my gym membership December 2023 and Sam was very supportive. I’m definitely not a gym rat but I want to be more physically fit. I like this gym cuz I feel seen verse doing classes at big gyms like Planet Fitness. I would recommend Spin fitness.”
“Brought my 17 year old son with a bad attitude here last year, and what a difference this place has made in his attitude and discipline. I should have brought him here sooner”
“Best work outs ever! I had never really worked out with weights so I needed education and instruction.
I started almost a year ago now and really appreciate all the guidance from coaching staff. They are very good at pushing and encouraging but cautious to not overdo.”
“Had the best party here! I was fortunate to attend a party there for a friends son and I loved it so much that I booked my sons party there. He had the best time! I also loved the fact that they set up and did so much for me. I am a party planner and a bit of a control freak but they did everything SO perfect. Everyone was raving about the teachers and I loved how organized the class/party was from start to finish. It was really great! I plan to go back! Thank you for making my sons birthday perfect!”
“Robert has been an outstanding trainer and a huge part of helping me reach new levels of strength, conditioning, and overall fitness. His consistency, attention to detail, and ability to continuously challenge me in the right way have made a massive difference in my performance and progress. Every workout is purposeful, demanding, and designed to push limits.
What sets Robert apart is his ability to motivate, adapt, and steadily elevate the standard week after week. He genuinely cares about long-term results, proper form, athletic performance, and building real strength — not just going through the motions. If you are serious about becoming stronger, fitter, more conditioned, and reaching your highest potential, I highly recommend training with Rob at The Courage Fitness”
“Amazing sense of inclusion and community. This place is fun, never intimidating, the coaches are warm and welcoming. It does not have a big chain feel. Best gym I’ve ever been a member of.”
