Varsity House is fantastic! I spent January-May there this year and within just a few weeks was much stronger and had so much more energy. I’m back again now and couldn’t be happier. The coaches cater each movement to where *you* are, so you feel challenged, but not depleted. Many of the exercises are functional, so tasks like mowing the lawn, tossing laundry from the washer to the dryer, carrying heavy groceries up stairs, all became lighter and much easier for me.It’s also truly a place for all ages, shapes, sizes and backgrounds, and feels inclusive and welcoming. In addition to a workout, you get an amazing community of people to workout with!

I would say this is a unique place. I have been to regular gyms, small group and one-on-one training before and was not able to keep up with either for a long time. Gyms would become boring, small groups uncomfortable at times, while one-on-one sometimes was too much pressure. At Varsity House they created a unique environment combining the best of the group practices and personal training. You may still schedule one-on-one if you like it, but the best part of this place for me is that you work out with a small friendly group, so there is a lot of support and no pressure, while you still get the individual attention - those amazing trainers somehow manage to keep an eye on everybody in the room, so be assured that you will be doing it right))). I don’t know how they do it, but the routines are always individualized even though you are in the group, and they remember everybody’s goals and abilities at all times! The challenges of the weight and movements are thoroughly managed and applied gently, yet there is a lot of motivation. I had a chance to work with Kat, Alex and Colin and they all are just great. Sessions are thoroughly planned, modified if needed, very diverse and never boring. I started 4 months ago and feel stronger and more flexible, even though I was doing it only twice a week, planning to move up to 3 times now. Highly recommend.

I am a middle-aged woman-over 50-with a whole lot of joint pain ....didn't think this would work out....but I was wonderfully mistaken. The Coaches at Varsity (shout out to Kat, Alex, Vin, and Colin) take what they do very, very seriously...and they don't make me feel anything "less than"! Rather, they modify workouts so I can get a good, quality workout. I leave feeling like I can run a marathon, until I wake up the next day hahahahaha! Seriously, there are things that I couldn't do before (like walk up a flight of stairs without using my inhaler) that I can do now (sans inhaler). It is very hard work but rewarding all the same. And it is worth every dime to invest in myself. As a beginner, I started with 2 workouts a week. My goal is to get to 3 days but it will probably take me a year. With this team cheering me on-and everyone else-I'm going to make it. Thank you Varsity for the gift of Hope back into my life. May God bless you for it. T.B.

The best parts of Varsity House are the trainers and the community. Kat, Vin, Colin and Alex design workouts that are challenging but approachable to those newer in their fitness journey. Everyone is encouraged to push themselves but at their pace. This is hard to do in a group setting but they pull it off. The members are very supportive and encouraging.

I don’t even know where to start. This is so much more than a gym. I’ve been here almost 6 months. Am I stronger? Yes! Do I have more energy? Absolutely! Kat is a very intuitive trainer. I’ve experienced a few injuries of the past number of years, particularly my back and knees. I’ve had at least three chiropractors work on my back with zero success. Kat called me personally after I missed several days at the gym to check up on me. When I told her that my back was really bothering me, she asked me to come in for a private no cost one on one session. After a five minute discussion, we engaged in 45 minutes of stretching and breathing.. She never put one finger on me, but by the end of the session, I wanted to cry, because I had not felt relief in my back the way I felt in that moment with any chiropractor in years! Kat is amazing. This gym has really turned into a small family. There are good people here who care about each other. It’s a positive and supportive training environment. Ridgewood is lucky to have this gym and we are blessed to have Kat.

If you are looking to reach a specific health goal, but aren’t sure how to get there I highly recommend Varsity House. I thought that in my adult years it was too late for me to get healthy and change my lifestyle. Varsity House helps motivate me to keep showing up for myself. The clientele are all ranges of age and experience levels. The class sizes are small with lots of individual attention. As for the workouts themselves, things get switched up often. There is a lot of variety so you’ll never feel like you’re getting bored. And if you’ve read this far, just know I can keep going!

I thoroughly enjoy my trainings at Varsity House. I love their semi-personal classes. Both Kat and Alex are great coaches and are happy to tailor a workout to your specific needs. Vin is also great addition to this cohort. Great sweat with physical workouts combining weights and cardio. Multiple sessions/classes throughout the day, so scheduling is a Definitely recommend!

I joined Varsity House in December because I was looking for something that could keep me accountable, but was also fun and challenging. It has been one of the best decisions I've made to kick off this new year. Coach Kat so knowledgeable, patient and really motivates you to do your best. I've felt my body become stronger in just these few short weeks I have been training, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Kudos to the entire VH staff!

I love this gym!!it’s clean, the scheduling is open and flexible, it’s small group workout focused so there’s not a lot of people there. The trainers are wonderful, and focused guiding and pushing you within your limits.I’m a very picky, particular person and this gym passes with flying colors.If you’re looking for a new gym or want to try and work out, just give it a shot it’s wonderful !!!

I didnt know where to begin my fitness journey and as I scrolled FB one day, I saw an ad for Varsity House. I clicked on that ad and Kat reached out to me to bring me in for an evaluation. The small group setting was a perfect fit for me.I was all set to start the next week when I injured my shoulder over the weekend. Kat worked with me to modify exercises to help me recover. I have progressed well due to Kat's help. Varsity House has helped me gain overall strength and lose inches. I'm very happy with my progress! If you're considering your own fitness journey, I highly recommend to give them a try!
