Victor Dean Training

You are much better off with your money going to Gold’s or BAC.
Staff never returned my calls.

Victor is a highly qualified trainer and knows how to maintain a quality gym. If you are looking to get away from the corporate gym atmosphere, I’d definitely recommend checking it out!

First I’d like to say the two negative reviews shown do not reflect this gym, it reflects a groupon mix up to where their phones were overwhelmed and they couldn’t keep up with the volume in their earlier years. If you read the reviews that Unilocal,for whatever reason chooses not to show you will have a better idea of what this place is really about.
I Joined this gym a few days ago and it is great so far. They have a lot of equipment you don’t see in other gyms as well as equipment to make your workout fun. Between rock climbing walls, cargo nets, climbing ropes. They also have equipment to enhance sports training. It is never crowded either.
The gym is clean, the equipment is new, and it’s concept is great. The owner is clearly knowledgable and helped many people reach their goals from diets to weight training.
I was looking at the neighboring worlds gym and I was hesitant to join because of all the overcharging, and they were sending accounts into collections after refusing to cancel their memberships. I decided to try Victor Dean because they do not have contracts, I have been very happy so far. They are very nice, laid back, and will give you a free pass for a week to try it out.
I have always preferred local gyms over chain gyms, this is one of the best I have come across. Give it a shot before you pack yourself in a crowded place and get discouraged before you even pick up a weight.

My family and I couldn’t be happier with Victor Dean Training. Victor is the most knowledgeable and creative trainer that I have ever come across, by a large margin. Victor’s skillset is very rare to happen across. He has a Masters in Exercise and Nutrition Sciences from UB’s School of Public Health and Health Professions (where I happen to work in another dept — and I understand that the ENS program is an excellent one). Victor also has an accomplished background in body building (note: the gym is not a body building gym, rather it is family friendly and very welcoming for clients with health challenges).
I’ve had some very challenging exercise related restrictions to work around, and I never expected the results that we have achieved to date. I doubted that I would ever be able to work out in a meaningful way again but Victor worked with me to find a path towards a sustainable fitness plan. Additionally, my two sons work out with Victor. To them, exercise is not a boring chore, rather they view it as a challenge that can be enjoyable and not lacking in creativity.
I noticed the other two complaints posted as Unilocal reviews. For my part, Victor has always responded to my inquiries in a timely fashion. He’s been every bit a conscientious business owner. It is a shame that those reviews may prevent others from discovering this wonderful gym.

Victor Dean may be a nice person, but he is in WAY over his head. He needs to have hired someone to not only handle the volume of his calls, particularly after agreeing to participate in a Groupon sale, but to also keep the calls organized. Several times I received a call to set up a service I had no interest in partaking in because they had gotten their lines crossed at his studio.
Mr. Dean himself may be a good trainer (I have no knowledge one way or the other) but he needs a lot of guidance in the ‘customer service’ department (i.e. how to speak to a client on the phone, how to sell services appropriately, returning calls within an appropriate amount of time, and general friendly communication with strangers).
I feel badly about having to write such a negative review, but I also feel badly that my money went down the drain because he was unable to help me (and others) out in a timely, constructive, positive manner. I would advise to please be sure you know exactly what you’re getting into before committing to him and his staff.
