I have trained with Sarah Buckley for the past decade and there is no trainer I trust more in helping me get stronger to achieve my fitness goals. All the trainers at Prevail are incredibly
knowledgeable and take the time to listen to questions and concerns with compassion. All abilities are welcome there. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone whether you’re brand new to strength training or a seasoned veteran.

Prevail is hands-down one of the most supportive and welcoming gyms I’ve ever been part of.

Strength is for everyone here!

Sarah and Andrew (co-owners) have been instrumental over the last few years as I navigate chronic illness and strength/mobility training. I’ve never felt fully comfortable and trusting in any local gym, until I found Prevail and started training with Sarah and an awesome group of women. Working with Andrew, with his knowledge of the body and ELDOA and manual therapy techniques has become my go to for pain relief and second opinions as a practitioner and friend. I can’t thank you guys enough! I’d honestly trust anyone they bring on as a part of their business.

About 1.5 yrs ago, I started my personal training journey with Prevail. I hadn’t really stepped foot in a gym prior—simply was looking for a place close to home. I never imagined this experience would make such a positive difference in my life.I’ve become close friends with my trainer/mentor— who is super knowledgeable and even pursues continued education. I’m happy with my body recomposition results, and believe that money spent on your health is money well-spent!About the gym:It’s a smaller gym focused on weight-lifting, and they’ve made good use of the space so it rarely feels crowded. If you’re looking for treadmills/ellipticals/tvs and amenities like that of a big-box gym, then this may not be for you.They’ve cultivated and nurtured a welcoming, non-superficial environment which I appreciate. Plus, the free walking group is a casual setting for you to meet everyone and get any of your questions answered!

This is a great place to take classes and work out. The strength class I take has helped with my running and the inclusiveness is wonderful. No matter the body type everyone is positively encouraged. I also like the fact that both Sarah and Andrew are willing to answer question during open gym. Both are extremely knowledgeable, no question is too dumb. A nice perk is the walking club that is here. You meet with a variety of different people and the emphasis is just moving and having a great time.

I’ve been working with Sarah as a ‘Strength in Numbers’ personal training client for nearly 18 months. What I gain from Sarah’s coaching is more than simply a tailored workout routine because she is such a thoughtful, experienced and educated professional trainer. If something doesn’t feel quite right she wants to know about it and come up with a solution to improve my capabilities. Sarah is a continuous learner who is always seeking to incorporate the best practices for her clients. More than that, she clearly cares about each of her clients and it shows in her approach.

I have been going to Prevail since they started. I am 65 years old and feel 15 years younger. I am stronger and more aware of the impact of how I bend & move has on my back. I attend scheduled sessions as a personal training client twice a week but can schedule a make-up session via the Vagaro app and can either attend another scheduled session or leverage the Trainerize app where Sarah creates a session that I follow on my phone during open gym. This is a great option because you get your workout in but can adjust the schedule to meet your personal needs. I am more motivated to workout knowing that Sarah is watching over me.

Sarah is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She is capable of explaining movements multiple ways so that all athletes can comprehend the “why” and “how” much easier. She goes above and beyond for her clients and is multi-faceted. Sarah is able to connect clients to other professionals if they need assistance in other areas, overall a wonderful coach and a clean, well kept facility!

About 8 years ago I was diagnosed with RA, so after being active all my life, I found myself struggling to be motivated. Sarah has helped me to feel strong and never defeated. She always does something new and works every part of my body. She is so knowledgeable about the whole working system of our bodies, so thankful to be able to be a part of Prevail
