I started my journey at Sheepdog right before making the decision to undergo gastric bypass & change my life. I knew Tonya from going to high school together & came in for a consult before surgery to see about personal training options once I was cleared for physical activity post op. As someone who was considered “morbidly obese” for most of my adult life & had never been physically active due to that, I spent an entire year training one on one with Tonya learning how to get range of motion & learning to navigate an entirely new world in my new body.To say this changed my life would be a huge understatement. Tonya helped redefine my life, my attitude towards the gym/working out & helped me become the person I am today; Someone who is proud to come to the gym, someone who loves to move her body, someone who feels strong & excited to be living a completely different, happier and active life.. All the things I dreamed of for so long. I couldn’t have done this without Tonya by my side through it all.After a year of personal training, I started hybrid training classes which opened me up to a community of people who have cheered me on, pushed me, supported me and truly inspired me to keep up with my lifestyle & goals. I cannot recommend Sheepdog enough- Tonya & Dan are top notch people who work hard to help you achieve your goals. Their dedication to their members & their gym goes above & beyond!!

Who knew that 6 months ago dropping a pair of cleats off to a friend’s daughter would get my butt and head back to where it needed to be! A strong support system is EVERYTHING when you have a goal in mind. @sheepdog.athletics coaches and members have created the most enjoyable environment for me AND MY FAMILY to find our love of fitness again ?? Their entire gym & programming is designed to make you comfortable in every aspect. Health concerns? Need direction in your daily diet? Looking for competition? Need accountability? Personalized meal plans and workout programs? They got it and they get you the results you desire!Can’t wait to see what another 6 months brings!! ??

I walked into Sheepdog just after the holidays with one goal in mind: tone up for my summer wedding.I told Tonya I wasn’t so worried about my weight but more about looking and feeling confident in all of my wedding festivities, but mostly my wedding dress.Then my bridal shower dress was too big. Then my wedding dress needed to be taken in. That’s when I saw results.I thought Tonya would just tell me how to work out- but our training sessions went beyond that. She not only taught me the fundamentals about proper nutrition to fuel my weight lifting, but also gave me sample meals, recipes, and motivation to eat well. We got as specific on where to buy food, which protein was the cheapest at which grocery store, and what flavors we liked in certain meals. Her guidance completely changed how I look at and navigate food and eating. In my 20+ weeks of training, I learned how to properly fuel my body and saw the direct results Tonya said I would see when I abided by her code.In the gym, I felt myself completely transform. Even when I didn’t workout with Tonya, I heard her in my head, either with the tailored videos she constantly sent me, or figuratively coaching me through sets as I imagined her in my head pushing me.I constantly yearned to workout, and made myself workout even on the toughest days. I lifted hard and heavy, which was something I had never done before.In terms of personalization in my personal training- I threw every possible obstacle at Tonya- multiple injuries, a bad reaction to antibiotics, and a total career change- all mid-season. Tonya met every challenge head-on WITH me, and catered my nutrition and workout plans and goals accordingly.I made tons of mistakes- from completely skipping workouts to eating share size bags of skittles in one sitting, but Tonya never once judged me or shamed me. We pushed through these little fails together and continues to reach my goals.I can not recommend the personal training program at Sheepdog athletics enough.

I could not be happier with my decision to join this gym! The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive, every class has people cheering each other on, and the coaches are great about answering questions about movements and giving tips on form. I am stronger now, both physically and mentally, than I have ever been. I highly recommend Sheepdog Athletics to anyone with any type of fitness goals!

Best gym for Personal training, large open space, clean and comfortable, excellent ownership. Small and personal, perfect for those not wanting a big box gym.

Had to leave a review because we are moving and we wish we could take this gym with us. This place was so amazing, I’m planning to make the long drive every couple of weeks. In a few months I got a lot stronger but more importantly less hurt than I would at other gyms. They actually help you with your form and guide you through the workouts. We were worried when they brought in new coaches, but they are just as awesome. Make sure to visit coach Ryan in the 7 a.m. class, that’s the best group. If you want a great gym with a solid community that makes you feel good, go here! We are going to miss this place!

Sheepdog Athletics is more than just a gym. It’s a place to call home. No matter what your health and wellness goals are, no matter what levels of fitness experience you have, no matter your size, shape, age, injuries, Tonya and Dan will meet you where you are and inspire you to set and reach attainable goals. They are extremely knowledgeable, supportive and professional. Not only have I far exceeded my expectations physically over the past 2 years, but I’ve meet others people who are on their own wellness journey that I can now call best friends and family. Sheepdog is a hidden gem of downtown Taunton and if you are looking for a place to feel welcomed and instantly part of a community you’ll want to contact them right now.

This place is amazing. Big box gyms have nothing compared to the family atmosphere, one on one training, variety of styles and class formats with guided coaching all the way through your journey. If you're looking for a better fitness experience, check them out!

Sheepdog Athletics is more then just a gym, it’s a place I have gone to escape life for a bit and has mentally been one of the best decisions I could have ever made. I always wanted to get back in shape and see what the CrossFit world had to offer but I could never will myself into doing it but the staff and other athletes there were awesome and welcoming and are always there to offer advice and motivation to help you reach your goals. From the personal coaching to the group classes they make the workouts fun and enjoyable. I highly recommend coming in and taking a look to see what they have to offer.
