First off, Achieve doesn’t look like any of the many “gyms” I’ve joined - and
then never returned to. Sure, there’s the usual strength and workout equipment
we’re all familiar with, but then you start to notice there’s a lot of stuff
you’ve never seen before. And once I started working out with John, (one of the
partners), I was exposed to methods that were completely new to me. Suffice to
say, after a brief period, the results made themselves quite clear in my body,
but most importantly, in my way of thinking about myself. This place is the
fountain of youth!

I was told about Achieve after I sustained a relatively serious knee injury
that needed careful rehab. Danielle, an owner and physical therapist, took the
time to interview me quite thoroughly to get a complete picture of my needs and
expectations. When we started work I was delighted with the focused attention
she gave me. Before long, real progress was made, and now, gratefully I’m back
at 100% - no, better than that – I’m going to say 110%. Amazing! Thanks Danielle
and everyone at Achieve.

I had topped out at my local franchise gym. Bored with the clubby, spandex,
disco atmosphere, I looked for something different. I was told about Achieve by
a buddy who’s in the best shape of any of my friends. The first thing I saw when
I walked into the main training room was a guy pushing a steel sled with weights
on it up and down an Astroturf strip. This was different. I would soon find out
just how different. These guys are CREATIVE! I never get the same workout twice
in a row. I always look forward to the challenge of the day and leave feeling
like I really did something. Achieve gets an A++++++++!

Achieve is the type of place you can feel comfortable right away. No matter your age there is always someone working out that can inspire you. Whether it’s the 86 year old man that keeps his twice a week training appointment, or the NFL hopeful that needs some sturdy equipment and the right trainer to motivate him. I would say I’m in between the two extremes. I work out to keep healthy. If I worked out on my own I would not have the variety in my workout that I now enjoy. I’ve been training with the same trainer now for 6 years. He is able to work around a few injuries I’ve had along the way. And with the Achieve Rehab team I have been able to get my injured body parts healed so I can keep training. The team approach works wonders. I come out of a physical therapy session and a quick conversation between my physical therapist and my trainer happens. Knowledge of my injury is passed directly to my trainer so he knows what we can work on for that particular week. My workout is tailored to me so that I don’t get bored and quit and that is what it’s really all about. This is a lifelong journey of keeping myself healthy and Achieve is helping me do just that.

I have been training with the Achieve crew long before they crossed the Post
Rd. and became Achieve. I have belonged to many other gyms but at Achieve I find
both the size (not overwhelming) and the spirit (very spirited, good humored and
relaxed) to be my cup of tea (skimmed milk, no lemon). There's also a
comfortable range of ages from young to my age, 67 and beyond. And they also
have a great boxing conditioning program which I'm enjoying too! In my
profession as a psychotherapist not much physical activity is required, unless
the phone rings and I have to reach to answer it. So I need Achieve several
times a week and I need it bad!

As forty-four year old parents of two active, independent children, our busy
lives often take us in four different directions. This makes it hard to find
time to be together. The team at Achieve Fitness provides our whole
family with the shared experience of working toward individual health and
fitness goals.
We are impressed with the Achieve team of personal
trainers for a number of reasons: great personalities, a wealth of experience,
but most important is the variety and originality of their exercises and
tailor-made workouts. Exercising at Achieve is never boring. That’s what
keeps us going back.
In addition, our kids benefit from the fitness
opportunities at the gym: training, fitness equipment, Pilates and yoga offered
by the gym, as well as the independent boxing program, that our son enjoys.
Of course, we make use of the certified nutritional counseling and
massage therapy—a real treat—available in-house!
At Achieve we
can achieve some of our goals all in one place and at the same time!

When (at my wife’s recommendation) I started the Achieve team 5 years ago, I
hadn’t worked out for almost ten years. Since then, I’ve come a long way with
their help. I’m no Arnold Schwartznegger yet, but I’m in much better shape and
feel great. All of the Achieve people know what they are doing and are very
imaginative in their programs. Their facilities are very well laid out. I like
the team’s energy, its sense of humor, and its genuine caring for its clients.
Also, I enjoy working out alongside their other clients, some who are real
characters. Everyone in my family now trains with them. Achieve has a great
following, as is obvious from client social bashes the team has hosted and were
well attended. I’m glad to be an Achieve client and highly recommend the team to
anyone.
