“Advantage Personal Training has honestly become the best part of my day. You don’t just show up here — you belong.”

    We cannot say enough good things about Advantage Personal Training. My husband and I joined in February 2026 after years of struggling to see lasting results on our own, even after trying medical weight loss programs. In just over 3 months, we’ve already seen incredible progress — not only on the scale, but in our everyday lives. We’re currently on a Disney vacation, and for the first time my husband was able to ride TRON Lightcycle / Run and Avatar Flight of Passage comfortably without any problems. That was something we honestly never thought possible. I’m also walking upwards of 25,000 steps a day with very little foot pain and without needing a wheelchair to get around the parks. These may sound like small victories to some people, but to us they are huge milestones and reminders of how far we’ve already come. The trainers at APT have created an environment that is motivating, supportive, and realistic. They truly care about helping people make sustainable lifestyle changes, and we are incredibly grateful we found them. We’re excited to keep going and see where this journey takes us.

    After struggling with weight and fitness for years I decided to invest in my health in a serious way. A quick search led me to APT and I will be forever grateful for how my life has changed. I was given a training plan, nutrition coaching, and a supportive team of trainers, staff, and other patrons. Progress was slow and steady and I not only hit my goal weight and fitness aspirations, I learned to trust the process and trust my body. I gained confidence through consistent practice of good habits. I made friends. This is hands down the best gym experience of my life and at 41, I am more fit and healthy than I have ever been. 10 stars!

    What I first noticed about Advantage Personal Training was the friendliness of the staff and members and how clean and open the facility is. I am impressed with the flexibility that APT offers; it makes going to the gym fit easily into my schedule. You can go at almost any time of the day and get a great workout! I have tried Small Groups, Team Training and Program Design and love all the options! Each are a good balance of fun and challenging. They offer so much more... oh and a smoothie bar! There is always something going on, a fun weight loss challenge or events like 5k's or hikes, and fun goals to keep things interesting!

    I’ve been a regular since 2007. I can say enough about how excellent the facility and people are. I’m typically there 2-3 days each week and find it extremely helpful having a trainer helping make sure I’m getting proper form and alternating exercises to help control weight and stamina. The place is pristine and well-equipped for meeting everybody’s fitness needs. Certainly worth your time to go meet Greg, Mike and the team and check it all out!

    Awesome trainers ,they work with you and adjust exercises as needed. Exercises are varied and increased in difficulty as you progress. Ive been going 4 to 5 times a week. Cholestetol is down and my weight is down. I have more energy than I have had in years. I definately recommend this gym.

    Great environment both staff and facilities. They take great care to individualize your workout to meet your goals while taking into account your individual needs like joint issues. You'll build muscle, lose weight and have a brighter attitude when you workout at Advantage Personal Training.

Questions

What to know before you start.

  • Is nutrition part of it?

    Yes. Nutrition support is part of every program at Advantage, alongside personalized workout plans and ongoing accountability.

  • I’ve never worked out, or haven’t in years. Is that OK?

    Yes. Whether you are a seasoned fitness participant or new to exercise, we are here to help you succeed.

  • Do I have to work out until I’m exhausted?

    No. It is our goal to be efficient in your improvements, NOT just make you tired or sore.

  • How often should I train?

    There can be too much of a good thing in working out. Muscle rest and recovery is essential to your strength training plan, so for optimum results we recommend limiting yourself to 3 strength training sessions/ week, and 4-5 Team Trainings per week.
