“LET ME TELL YOU BOUT AMERIE. It’s rare to come across someone who not only knows their job well, but also makes people feel comfortable and motivated at the same time.
They went above and beyond to answer my questions, help me with what I needed, and made the entire experience feel personal instead of transactional. You can tell they truly care about the members and take pride in what they do.encouraged, and excited to come back. The gym is lucky to have someone like them on the team.”
“i've been a member at universal for just shy of a year now, and it's by far my favorite gym i've ever been to. spacious, clean, and friendly! even during busy times you never feel on top of anyone. amazing equipment for all kinds of fitness. the owners and employees are so friendly and the atmosphere is great! love universal!”
“Eh
No hot water in the bathroom to wash your hands.
No place to fill up a water bottle.
Struggle for papertowels to wipe benches.
A deadlift platform, but no deadlift bar.
Lots of old but mangled equipment.
People want to sign up, but no one around to sign them up. The QR outside doesn't work. (Which could fix a lot of these problem$)
A sled that has a 45lb weight on it, but youre not allowed to add more weights on it.
Small selection of elepticals, for the, bodybuilders.
Bring your headphones, because the stereo system is broken. The owner cycles the same 5 songs over his computer instead.”

“This gym has a fantastic vibe, and I love the variety of equipment available! The staff is super friendly and always willing to help out. Plus, I appreciate the commitment to keeping everything clean and safe.”
“I live outside of Torrington, and checked out a total of 9 facilities (in Torrington, Bristol, Thomaston, Watertown, Southbury, Litchfield, Morris) before settling on Energy Health and Fitness. I've been a member for 1-1/2 years and I love this gym! It's suitable for novice gym goers through competitive bodybuilders. Everyone is welcomed and met "where you are" with plenty of equipment, classes, and personal training to help you reach your fitness goals. It has a community vibe with both the members and staff being friendly, supportive, and helpful.”

“I have seen a high number of martial arts schools over the years from California to New York to Connecticut.. Whether your goal is to train self defense, train for competition or just get/stay in shape, the IMB Academy has a class and path for you. Chris’ knowledge and skills are second to none.I personally enjoy more of the self defense path and find Chris’ teachings very applicable.I also enjoy the camaraderie amongst the students in the class and the Chris’ ability to take very complex concepts and moves and break them down into bite sized more manageable nuggets of knowledge.If you are on the fence I highly recommend trying a class or two out and see for yourself!”

“YES Fitness is a godsend. I am six months into my first strength-building program, and I am amazed by the changes in my body. My fitness coach meets me where I am at every workout, and since I am a person with Parkinson’s Disease, that can be a challenge. At YES, I always feel supported, but never coddled. I also appreciate the welcoming calm of the fitness studio; the idea of a big open gym with people coming and going always intimidated me. Finding YES was the turning point in my battle to stave off the ravishes of PD. I feel truly empowered for the first time since my diagnosis, fifteen years ago. I wouldn’t be where I am without the folks at YES, and I look forward to continuing my journey to strength.”
“The kids love going there for karate class the staff is very patient and very helpful. Very happy and satisfied with their service. The facility is big nice and clean. Highly recommend Thunder Martial Arts Academy”

“I’ve been meaning to post this review for awhile. I’ve been a member at this gym since last year and I love it here. I have the black card but this is the only location I will go to . I love that it’s spaced out nicely and the machines are not crammed together and the free weights have more than enough room where you don’t feel like you’re working out in a corner. Everyone is always so nice and the front staff always take their time to say hi & bye. The gym is clean and I always see someone who works here cleaning!”
“Doing the water aerobics and the water Zumba have helped me in my knee recovery and general fitness Jamie It’s probably one of the best instructors I’ve ever seen. She’s always cheerful and makes the class go by effortlessly. Health Trax is lucky to have her.”

“Had a great session with my trainer Eve today. After too many years out of the gym, I decided to go back. Obviously, some direction and motivation was going to be needed. Thankfully, the Club 24 folks assigned me to Eve. She has been very helpful and flexible with working around my limitations . I am down 5lbs in a few weeks time. My clothes fit better, energy levels are increasing and I’m getting stronger. Thanks Eve and Club 24.”

“I’ve been going to Elite Strength and Performance for almost 6 years now. It’s changed my life not only physically but mentally as well. I used to be the person that said “I can’t do this” - not anymore! The workouts are tough but it’s a good challenge. Kyle is a great trainer and cares about all his clients. I’ve met some wonderful people here and have made some life long friends in the process.”
