Jacked and jilled has been an amazing place to train. My wife and I were previously at other personal training gyms and CrossFit boxes and J&J has been top of the line comparatively. Gym is clean, well maintained and Abi has been an amazing coach for us in our personal training sessions

This is hand down the BEST gym in Maine! From the owners and trainers (who know your name) to the members who inspire and encourage one another! Gyms have always intimidated me but this one makes me feel welcomed and appreciated!And I have to give a BIG shout out to my girl and personal trainer, Abbi Thibeau, for being my longest commitment, for holding me accountable and not giving up on me when I wanna give up on myself!Do yourself a favor and CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!

Consistency is often considered the cornerstone of any successful health and fitness journey, and I've found my anchor in working with Zack at Jacked and Jilled. While I may not relish the idea of hitting the gym, I genuinely look forward to every session with him (the gym itself is great too!).Zack goes beyond being just a trainer; he's a motivator who consistently propels me past my mental barriers. His ability to introduce fresh and engaging challenges keeps each session dynamic and far from mundane. What I appreciate most is that it's never a one-size-fits-all approach – Zack tailors each workout to my abilities and pushes me to surpass my limits.Beyond the sweat and effort, the atmosphere Zack creates is what sets him apart. Laughter is as much a part of our sessions as the physical exertion. His sense of humor not only lightens the mood but also makes the entire experience enjoyable.Zack has turned what could be a monotonous routine into something I genuinely look forward to. He's not just a trainer; he's a key factor in why I consistently show up, ready to tackle new challenges.

I’ve been working out at Jacked and Jilled for the past 6 months now and all I have to say are great things. The staff and atmosphere are welcoming and encouraging which is great for someone like me who has been out of the gym for a while and is shy. My personal trainer, Abi, has gotten me to step out of my comfort zone and try things I never would have on my own. Thanks to her I am more comfortable at the gym now and more confident in myself, I love working with her and she is an exceptional trainer! I highly recommend this gym!!

I've been coming to Jacked and Jilled for about 7 months now. I had been out of the gym for a while and recovering from a knee surgery so was a little nervous/intimidated (spoiler: I didn't need to be, its very welcoming!). I met with Brandon to talk about goals and options for training. He assigned me to Alex; he's great and got jokes! I've been working with Alex since then, I've gained a lot of strength back, become much more confident in the equipment, and built consistency.There is lots of great equipment, Brandon knows every member by name, and all of the trainers are all super supportive. As a bonus, for the price of a treat, Bella will follow you around offering emotional support.

I've been a member of Jacked and Jill Gym for about 2 years and I highly recommend it. Owners are kind, welcoming and actually care about their facility and community. Their personal trainers, especially Louis (my trainer), are great. Louis is not only patient and knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about his clients' progress and well-being.One aspect I want to highlight is that despite the presence of many skilled weightlifters, the gym remains incredibly inclusive and non-intimidating for beginners. Everyone is focused on their own workouts and shows immense respect for one another.

Great gym with excellent equipment and community. Strong mix of motivated newbies like myself, competitive lifters, and everything in between. When I originally reached out to inquire about training, Brandon met with me one-on-one to determine an approach that would work with my schedule and (limited) experience. Since then, I've been working with Duke and have made tons of progress toward my goals. Duke is an excellent trainer: he always makes sure we're pushing the boundaries of my comfort zone without compromising on safety. I highly recommend coming here if you're looking to grow.

It’s been almost a year since I began training with Louis and I couldn’t be happier with the progress I’ve made. Louis’s workouts are a great mix of consistent exercises, new challenges, and mobility work. The way he builds his plans I can feel and see how I’ve gotten stronger. I’m never bored, and I’ve stayed healthy. He’s an excellent coach; focused, supportive, and quick to recognize when I need a cue. I really can’t say enough about how much I like being at Jacked and Jilled. It’s such a great place, I just wish I had joined sooner!

I’ve been working with Duke, one of their trainers, for about a year now.You might think of them as a workout guid and a regular gym, but it is more like a therapist that work on your body and soul and a temple of transformation.Duke has touched me in so many ways that I can’t even our shouldn’t describe it - yup, I said it. It has been transformative for my mindset and body as he sculpts me into the Greek bod that I was always meant to sport.The other trainers are pretty awesome too, but Duke has a sort of poetic approach, often using Shakespeare and Socrates to inspire you during workouts, all the while giving you love and support. You wouldn’t think a 6’ tall jacked dude would be so sweet, but he is like the first flowers in the spring inspiring you into a new season.Duke, Brandon and crew - from a person that hates gyms and working out - I am grateful for the work you put into the space and dedication to your community.

I have been going to J&J now for almost a year, working with Duke. He has been absolutely fantastic to work with, and I’m so grateful for everything he has taught me in the past year. Not only has he helped me get into better shape physically, my mental health has improved a ton as well. I highly highly recommend Duke and J&J to anyone. I also met with and interacted with Brandon multiple times, who has always been super nice and supportive. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with all of the staff and anyone using the gym.

I’ve been going to Jacked & Jilled for ~7 months and have nothing but wonderful things to say. It feels very small and personal even though the space is fairly large with lots of available equipment. It’s clean, there’s plenty of room, and a really friendly environment.I go in once a week to work with a trainer, Louis, 1-on-1 (or with one or two of my friends) and it’s been an amazing experience. Louis is knowledgeable, professional, and fun to workout with. He totally takes on the planning & tracking and as a person who wants to just be told what to do, it’s really nice. He pushes you to try things you don’t think you can do while also respecting boundaries. I highly recommend Louis and Jacked and Jilled!

I’ve been working out at Jacked and Jill for a few years now and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It doesn’t matter if you are an experienced lifter or completely new to it, J&J has everything you need to learn and be successful. The equipment is FAR better than anywhere else in Maine and it seems like every dollar you spend comes right back to you in the form of new equipment and improved facilities.If you are just thinking about trying your hand at working out or looking for a new gym, drop by and ask for a tour. You will be blown away at how much you can accomplish on your own. If you are looking for guidance and training, they have the best personal trainers in New England. I have been training with Louis since I started at the gym and have left many of my goals in the dust with his help. The team at J&J are highly educated and passionate about what they do so don’t hesitate to reach out for training.Seriously, if you have fitness goals at all then you need to get over here. You won’t regret it.

Great training facility. Post the recent expansion there is plenty of space and equipment. The facility is clean and offers endless opportunities to challenge your fitness goals and aspirations.Over the last year I have been training with Head Strength Coach Alex Stein. Alex has helped me increase all areas of my fitness. Strength, Flexibility and Endurance. Alex takes time each session to check in personally and ensure I am getting the most out of the sessions. It’s great having the programming managed by an expert like Alex where I can focus on my performance. Sessions are always different keeping training fun with progressive results . I highly recommend Alex and the staff.Alex communicates a simple text to coordinate or adjust schedules is easy.Jacked & Jilled is a great community and top notch facility.

I have been working with Duke Reddoch in small group training sessions since January. I have LOVED working out at Jacked and Jilled- a fun, friendly, low pressure gym for serious lifters. Our group of 4 absolute beginners have never felt out of place here and Duke has fostered a love of lifting like I have never had previously. He is knowledgeable and fun and knows when to push us and when to ease up. We are having a blast!

Not only is Jacked and Jilled’s facility beautiful, the community there is strong down to the core. The staff is amazing, everyone knows your name and supports your goals. Lou (one of the trainers) has helped me lose a lot of weight which was my original goal and helped me gain strength and confidence in the last two years. He’s pushed me to keep showing up daily and has kept me accountable.
