FIIT

I have to say that working with JC (one of the trainers) has been one of the best things that has happened to my fiancée and I. We have never been in better shape than working out with him. He has great programs that are fun and challenging. He pushes you but is still safe to avoid injury (so important!) he holds you accountable and makes sure you meet your goals.
Now that we’ve moved to another state we STILL work with him as best we can from a distance. We would recommend you go see him at FIIT and get that hard body you’ve always wanted. It’s worth it!

After much investigating online, checking out reviews and searching for a trainer, FIIT seemed promising. I went in, met with Jason (the owner), came up with a list of objectives and started working out with Steely the next day.
After suffering from a life changing knee injury that still spontaneously flares when it’s angry, I was very cautious and voiced my concerns about reinjuring my leg/​knee. The biggest obstacle I wanted to avoid is some meat head training me and trying to push me past my comfort zone. My history has been that I get active, hurt myself by pushing a little too hard or sometimes not at all and be in constant pain for the next month (it’s a tendon issue which take forever to heal and very little to aggravate). Before going to FIIT was would walk the dog for half a mile and it was enough to keep me limited for at least a week and in pretty intense pain. it was kind of ridiculous but unfortunately I am not exaggerating.
I worked with Steely twice a week for a month. What happened next was amazing… my leg/​knee began to heal, get stronger and hurt less and less. I cannot express how frustrating and debilitating it has been in the last 6 years not being able to use my body actively. Steely has been awesome at hearing me when I’m uncomfortable and my leg is giving me sh*t.
Fast forward… In 6 months time I have lost 4% of my body fat, I continue to get toned and buff (can you believe I actually have triceps muscles? I thought it was a fallacy until I saw them for myself), my energy is crazy high (as if I was a kid), and I am looking forward to seeing what the next few months holds. So remember I was telling you about my bummed leg/​knee (I know, how can you forget?) Yeah well, I have been able to hike strenuous trails (longest was 7 miles) without any pain in my leg. I have been able to resume mountain biking again. It brings tears to my eyes as I thought I would never be able to be active like I once was. I have much gratitude to Steely for her guidance in how to strengthen this properly without hurting myself.
I have worked out with Danielle and Jesus (JC) and they are both equally awesome, friendly and fun. The gym has a great energy about it too. Very down to earth trainers and clientele– no pretentious, stuck up, snotty people. There are folks that are 80 years old to the extreme obese to athletes to your average Joe working out, nobody cares. They just want you to feel better about yourself, which is quite awesome! So it is a bit pricey for the personal training… but it’s YOUR BODY! Do you really want someone that doesn’t know what they are doing and puts zero thought into your training? It’s worth every cent and remember– you get what you pay for. A big thanks to the FIIT gang for getting me squared away, especially to Steely!

If you’re looking for those neighborhood, Cheers bar feels, where-​everyone-​knows-​your-​name of gyms, look no further. This is your jam; these are your people. #localgem All the trainers are 5-​stars amazing, passionate and sincere. (You may not know this, but I’ve been to a bunch of gyms in my time.)
Steely will whip you into a bombshell in no time! I’m basically ripped thanks to her. I’m not a morning person, but somehow I am able to drag my toned buns to FIIT in the mornings… the very early mornings, because there’s no better way to start your day! Actually, I even avoid going to Chick-​Fil-​A across the street, because it makes me feel guilty that I can see my gym from drive thru (not that I would know, but someone told me.).
I haven’t even met one of the owners in person, but thanks to social media, we are soul sisters… spirit animals. That’s how fabulous they are. Oh, and FIIT = Fast Intense Interval Training (It took me too long to figure that out, but it’s an important piece of advice to be aware of.) #werk

Bad experience! The hired trainer, seemed to know what he was doing. Way too expensive for a half hour private workout, even on the third time I didn’t feel like I was getting my money’s worth. The first two «workouts» are assessments, you pay the same for that as a full workout, around a hundred dollars for the two half hours. I didn’t bring my paperwork (like 5 forms of health history and waivers) on the first assessment and no one even asked for it. The second time, I remembered my paperwork when I was on my way, I went back to get it and I was «late» coming in, the trainer lectured me about being there early to warm up… I walked there so I was warm, I was late to bring the paperwork back to him, and he didn’t care about that. I pay for that time whether I am there «two minutes early or two minutes late.» I’m not new to working out, I just needed some help correcting my form, and to maybe learn a few new exersizes, but he didn’t listen to why I was there at all.
Anyway, on the third workout (which is technically the first workout) I was harassed again for how I signed one of my 5 waivers, I put a mark next to a couple of boxes because I want to watch out for a few symptoms, and he demanded that I go to the doctor and have him sign something saying I can work out — wtf! My doctor would laugh in my face, I’ve never had a health issue that has prevented me from working out– ever. I signed the form, his liability was released, and, according to the verbiage on the sheet, only if I checked the ‘yes’ box I would need a doctor waiver, I did not check ‘yes’. Doctor visit = copay+my time away from work, and there was no way I was going to spend more time and money on this place when I was already feeling dissatisfied with the service I was getting for my money.
I told him I would refill out the form, but he wouldn’t accept that, then he told me I would have a heart attack. Yeah, he really did that, because HE had a heart attack, admitted to me that he was on too many meds and worked out too hard, not my problem, his problem. I don’t take any meds, I eat healthy, and I don’t workout too hard. I know I am healthy. I do not recommend this place at all. I was accused of having health issues when I don’t! If you go here, maybe you won’t be harassed with texts and calls about how you filled out the numerous liability waivers, but I was.
Unilocal removed my original review because «because it contains personal attacks». I have rewritten this review removing any «personal attacks.» He is his business, and if he feels personally attacked because of my review, he should have treated me better when I attempted to work with him. My experience is just as useful to the Unilocal community as the other two reviews on here.
In regards to Troy J’s review of my review, I don’t expect free, I expect to get what I pay for, and I did not pay to be harassed. Also, $ 25 sessions were never offered to me, so how would I know to ask for that? You and the owner must be close friends :-) Curious as to why a business that has been around for over a year only has three reviews… does Unilocal keep removing the negative reviews for this place? That would defeat the whole purpose of Unilocaling.

This place is amazing the equipment is really good and the staff is very friendly. Jason Smith is one of the personal trainers along with JC, they have one on one training as well as group training. The guys at this gym are huge they really know how to get fit and know nutrition well, they are doing something right, you can tell!!! :-) Well I noticed one review said it was too expensive that’s ridiculous if you asked for JC you can get $ 25 a session not sure what the person was thinking maybe she wanted it for free LOL. which actually you can get free training if you ask for JC and get his business card on the back is a coupon that will allow you to get one free group training session, that’s what I did, it was fun!!!
