The Athleticus 5 Stars

“If you are looking for personal training geared towards your fitness goals, needs, and wants, The Athleticus is for you! Their equipment is top tier, and the staff is knowledgeable, and friendly. But don’t let that fool you, they will work you to the bone to reach your results.”

“WOW! Where do I begin? I am a SAHM of four young children 7 and under and had all 4 kids in 5 years. My body was NOT happy to say the least. When I began I was weak and I had no idea how to even lift weights or what weights I should be using. After training with The Athleticus staff, I am STRONGER, more confident, knowledgeable, competent, and take a way bigger approach to prioritizing my overall health (nutrition, sleep, diet, exercise, etc). I won’t mention the specific weight loss or muscle gain, but I am DEFINITELY making huge progress toward my goals. I have had an amazing experience with the staff, I never felt judged for how much help I needed, and everyone is SO knowledgeable I am blown away with how much I learned. I can’t recommend The Athleticus enough to anyone who is wanting to get results, get more knowledgeable, and become an overall healthier person in all areas of life!”

“The whole team was able to finally get me over the hump after shoulder surgery. The personalized program and attention to my needs was exactly what I needed! Thanks team Athleticus!”

“I’d like to take a moment to rave about The Athleticus. I started over 6 months ago and I’m thrilled by the progress that I’ve seen. I was an athlete as a teen, but schooling, life and having kids really put a damper on my physical fitness and I was at my highest weight ever and feeling terrible. I sat down with Olya and we made a plan to work on my physical fitness with strength training. We also talked through some easy nutrition modifications. I’m naturally an anxious person, but it was the least intimidating meeting and she was very outgoing and friendly. Scheduling has been easy and very flexible with my crazy schedule. I’ve been working out regularly with Andrew, Marissa and Alvaro and really enjoying my time at the gym. Each of the trainers have their own personality and style but my program and preferences are always taken into account. Over the 6 months (July through January), my strength has increased, my body has changed, I FEEL amazing, I’m more confident and my energy is up. I’ve tried a million things over the years to get in better shape, but I haven’t been able to stick to anything for more than a few weeks. Having accountability and support from The Athleticus has really been the spark that I needed to make this change.”

“What makes the Athleticus such an impressive personal training gym is the quality of the trainers. There are plenty of larger, more glitzy, more geared-up and spandex-filled gyms out there, but you go to a personal training gym for TRAINING, and The Athleticus has fantastic trainers: heavy on the research, on goal setting, and on personality. Great crew, great outcomes, and a killer price. The only reason I’m giving them a five is because I can’t give them a six.”

“Olya and her trainers are so knowledgeable and passionate about health & fitness. The facility is always clean and welcoming. My most recent InBody reading was great. Marissa took her time to thoroughly review my results and offered amazing recommendations of how to optimize my exercise. I highly recommend The Athleticus if you’re looking for personalized and dedicated trainers to optimize your fitness journey!”

I find myself looking forward to my training sessions with every trainer there. Each one has their own personal style when it comes to training and you are always learning something new. I can’t wait to continue training with them come the start of the new year! Olya, Alvaro, Marisa, and Andrew are all the best of the best. I couldn’t have chosen a better gym!”

— SARAH
The Athleticus 5 Stars

I was lucky enough to win 2 training sessions at Athletics at an event in my neighborhood. I thoroughly enjoyed both trainers – they were knowledgeable and professional. The space is really nice: clean, well-equipped, and motivational. I especially liked the outdoor area – something many places don’t have access to.”

— STEPHANIE
The Athleticus 5 Stars
“The place is inviting and spotless, and the trainers are the best around – all with advanced degrees or training. They designed a completely personal program for my needs and goals and all I do is show up and the coach leads me through it. As a result I gained 6 pounds of muscle and completely rehabilitated a hip replacement in less than 3 months. And by following their instructions on cardio training (non-gym days) and strictly following their guidance on eating and macros, I also lost 9 pounds of fat and dropped body fat percentage 3% during the same period.”

“This place is incredible! My wife and I have started our fitness journey here and couldn’t be happier. Olya, Alvaro, Victoria and Marissa are AWESOME! They are knowledgeable, challenging (in a good way) and extremely personable. Not only do you get 1 on 1 time with an amazing trainer, they create a customized plan for you based on your experience, goals and personal preferences. It’s been 6 weeks and I’m seeing results in myself and my wife! I’d absolutely recommend The Athleticus for you to start or continue your fitness journey!!”

“When I walked into the gym with my existing rotator cuff injury, I was filled with uncertainty and concern. However, my worries were put quickly to rest. Unlike previous practitioners I’d seen, who focused solely on typical rehab work, I was offered an innovative approach to my recovery process which wasn’t repetitive and dull. This unconventional route was not only refreshing and fun but proved immensely effective, helping me to become completely pain-free.”

— TONY
The Athleticus 5 Stars

“I started working with the trainers at the Athleticus about 4 months ago. It had been a couple of years since I routinely worked out or followed a program and I gained a lot of weight, lost muscle and flexibility, dealt with knee pain and just felt terrible. I still have a long way to go, but I’m down about 10 lbs and while the scale hasn’t changed much, my range of motion, flexibility and muscle tone have improved and I notice a difference in my energy level as well as how my clothes are fitting. The trainers are all amazing- friendly and knowledgeable. It was the kick start I needed to get motivated and commit to exercise again. Now it’s a part of my routine and I look forward to my gym days rather than dread it. I also like the set up- I always hated going to “chains” because of my gym anxiety and feeling like I was being judged or insecure because I didn’t know what I was doing- being the only person there with maybe 1 other and just the trainers makes me feel much more at ease. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great trainers and a personalized routine!”
