I have spent the last three years mostly sitting from hip pain. Finally got both hips replaced but at 72 wasn't sure I could get my strength back after all that sitting. And weight gain. So I walked in to my first appointment at JMB Fitness both scared and in doubt. But I was immediately reassured by both Josh and Devyn that I was in the right place. I am regaining my strength, losing weight and becoming the strong woman I used to be. Any exercise I can't quite do yet is immediately modified until I can do it There is no embarrassment at JMB. There are people tgere of all shapes and sizes. It is a community of people working to get stronger led by kind well informed trainers who really want everyone to succeed.

I started at JMB fitness in August of 2022. I am over 50 and have been struggling with my weight for well over 10 years. As with any new endeavor, I was hesitant and nervous about meeting with a personal trainer and getting back to a "gym" lifestyle. From the first meeting with Josh Bankes though, that fear disappeared. Josh and his team of coaches made you feel at home from the moment you walk in. They really focus on you as an individual and work with you to modify any exercises that you may struggle with. The team at JMB encourages you every step of the way. I struggled the first few months after being away from physical activity for so many years but the positive encouragement and comments from the JMB team kept me coming back and I started to see improvements with my commitment and their guidance. After almost a full year I have lost significant weight, built up lost strength, and began feeling so much better than I did before joining. I am at the point now where it is more difficult for me not to go to my session than it is to go. I actually look forward to exercise again and understand that I am still in the beginning stages of this journey. JMB is so much more than a gym. It is a community that treat everyone like family and want to see you succeed. I am so thankful to the dedicated coaches I have the privilege of working with and look forward to meeting my personal challenges and goals with their support.

Cam is the trainer I go to at JMB and he is great! He’s motivated, energetic and even funny! He’s always in a good mood and cheers you on. Everyone in the class leaves feeling like they’ve accomplished something.

Best decision I made was to check out JMB Fitness. I always hated going to the gym, I hate exercise. Coming here doesn’t bring up those feelings anymore. The trainers are amazing - welcoming, knowledgeable and fun. Workouts are challenging and different every class. Class sizes are small and attendees are welcoming and helpful (and fun). Trainers are there to help you modify movements if needed and always encouraging you to push yourself. The entire environment at JMB Fitness makes this a welcoming environment for all levels of fitness.

I have been with JMB for over a year. I was out of shape and in need of a full body tune up. Josh and his staff are very professional in how they invested in me by explaining how they were going to train me, where I would see differences and changes, making sure I understood form is key - not how much weight I lift, and I needed to show up if I wanted to succeed. They have supported and encouraged me every step of the way. I have been working out 3x/week with them and this has helped me lose weight, tone and strengthen by body, and give me the fuel and fire to exercise outside of classes. I would highly recommend JMB to anyone who is looking for a non-traditional gym experience. You are treated like family by fellow classmates and trainers. I’ve been very happy with my decision to be a member with JMB!

I'm just starting my journey into fitness, but JMB has been incredible so far. The team here is very knowledgeable, supportive, and pleasant. They've been able to come up with a system that meets my needs, while emphasizing consistency and accountability. I can't recommend Josh and his team enough, no matter what your goals are.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have found JMB Fitness! The semi-private classes have kept me motivated to get healthier. The coaches and other members maintain a positive and fun atmosphere. The classes are small enough that you can get modifications if needed, like I did before and after shoulder surgery, and still feel like you get a quality workout. Don't worry about not knowing equipment and moves, the coaches demonstrate and help you. Everyone is supportive and for the first time in my life I actually look forward to working out! They also help you to focus your mind on getting or maintaining healthy habits. Based on my experiences and success over the last 3 months, I've decided to withdraw from a local bariatric surgery program because I feel confident that I can reach my health goals with the support of JMB Fitness center.

Joining JMB Fitness was one of the best decisions I have made. I was scared to join a gym because the culture can be toxic but JMB is the completely opposite. The trainers are all friendly, helpful and professional. The owner, Joshua, is very intuitive and motivating with his support to each and every member. The faculties and facility are always organized, clean and in excellent working order. The 24/7 gym access is a huge plus for my busy schedule, and I wouldn’t want to be a member of any gym other than JMB.

I joined JMB Fitness in May of 2022. I am 64 and wanted to improve my fitness as I age. After 9 months I have shed pounds and inches. My clothes fit better and I feel stronger and have much better balance. I work with all the Trainers Jenn, Devyn, and Payton in groups of 4-8 depending on the day or hour of a class. Owner and Trainer Josh is on site and has taught classes when others are off. I feel comfortable with all the trainers. I am older and haven’t always felt comfortable in gym settings. I always have felt comfortable at JMB Fitness. It’s a great place!

It's been over four years since I've been in the gym and choosing JMB Fitness is the BEST decision I could have ever made at 62! You receive such personalized attention in every session to ensure you are doing each exercise correctly and getting the most benefit out of your time there without injuring yourself. Every personal trainer is outstanding and they empower, push, motivate you and make it FUN! The text messages reminding me to drink water or something motivational makes my day. There's a reason Joshua Banks is Rochester's Best Personal Trainer! I am so THANKFUL for you and all of your staff.

It’s been a slow and steady journey, but surely the healthiest way to make a wellness comeback. Though I still have quite a way to go, I’m creating healthy habits and feeling great. The team around me has been super helpful and encouraging and I’m so appreciative. Josh, Jenn and Devyn at JMB Fitness LLC, you’ve been extremely instrumental in my quest to regain strength and fitness. Though I find the urge to swear at you often, the consistency of spending time with you (and the fun of our shenanigans) has improved my mental/physical toughness tenfold.I’m seeing progress in lots of areas and it’s quite exciting. With these awesome people in my peripheral as often as possible, I’ve totally got this… one day at a time.

JMB Fitness is the absolute best! You walk in the doors and you instantly feel welcomed and accepted wherever you are on your fitness journey. You will be embraced, pushed and encouraged each and every step of the way. The sense of belonging is amazing and so what I needed when I joined. The trainers including Josh, Devyn and Peyton care about your mental well being as well as your physical health and will get you to where you want to be. They are so invested in your success and their check-ins and positive messages via text throughout the week just proves how invested they are in you. The community is fun, upbeat and supportive. They truly are your FitFam!! My weekly personal training sessions and Sunday classes are the best hours of my week. I can’t say enough about JMB Fitness and the trainers. So thankful for this place. Truly a gem in Fairport!

It is a great experience at JMB Fitness and specifically with Coach Devin as well as Josh of course. The semi-private class has been a perfect fit for the goals I'm trying to accomplish. It has been a nice rotating set of upper body exercises each week which have been a perfect complement to the running I do on other days. The encouragement of the coaches and Josh himself is weekly, outstanding and very personal.It is funny as a lot of places like this have the add-ons that they would love to sell you, those exist here and are available, but never once in over six months has any of that stuff been pushed or upsold to me. The focus is the current workout, your goals, and constant encouragement. I suppose at some point the extras can be discussed, but it will be more of my enquiring about them instead of trying to avoid a solicitation.This whole way of training has been a great experience.

If you are considering joining JMB fitness- all I can say is DO IT!In the last 10 years I have had 7 major surgeries, and have been diagnoses with Lupus, Fibromyalgia and Hypothyroidism. To say the least, I am a train wreck! So I rolled into my 60’s In the worst shape of my life and holding on to an extra 90 pounds.I had tried going to a couple of other gyms or workout places, but they would promise me the world, and then throw me into a class with no instructions and then I would get injured. I tried doing it on my own, but having never done it, I had no idea what I was doing and would hurt myself.I didn’t want to give up, so when I saw the ad, I decided to try one more time. Honestly I was at the end of my rope and getting pretty depressed. I met with Joshua and we talked at length about my concerns. I really felt like he got it. So I signed up. I pretty much came in expecting the worst but hoping for the best.I won’t tell you it’s been easy, but the team has worked with me every step of the way. When I have flare ups, we ease my work out, but keep me moving. I have yet to make it all the way through a workout without having to stop, but it is my goal. When I feel embarrassed they make me feel better. They get me to challenge myself, but do it safely and with guidance. They are the greatest people to work with. And the other members are all uplifting too, and never make you feel bad. They are so encouraging. I am so much happier now that I am doing this for myself.No matter where you are at in your life and fitness- this is the place for you. You won’t be disappointed!Karen Stolt JMB Fit Fam!
