I came to rehab an injury and stayed because my small-group sessions are a highlight of my week. 11/10 would recommend.

We’re coaches, not clinicians: we don’t diagnose or treat injuries. If you’re under a doctor’s or physical therapist’s care, check with them before you start, and tell us what they’ve said in your first session.
Your history first. Then the plan.
We want you in the gym and training, but we also want you to be safe and make proper progress. That’s the Advantage way!

I started going to Advantage Personal Training after I finished physical therapy for spine surgery. I needed to get muscle tone back that I lost during my illness. I’ve never had a personal trainer before so I was a bit anxious and also skeptical if they would be able to help me. Well, the trainers and the staff far exceeded my expectations of what I thought it would be like. They are all warm, friendly and inviting. The staff is quite professional, and the trainers are Superb. I love using the equipment, the locker room is exceptionally clean as is the entire gym. It’s a pleasure being there. I Look forward to going to Advantage to see my trainer twice a week. I’ve noticed a tremendous difference in my ability to walk again and regain muscle tone that far surpassed what I thought it was possible. I’m 75 years old and my body never looks so good. So thank you to Hunter, Ryan, and Brendan for all of your support and encouragement!!! Phil

I started my Advantage Personal Training experience over 4 years ago after knee surgery. The trainers and exercising programs tailored for me and my situation helped to eliminate my pain within a few short months. I especially like the constant changing of exercise programs that keep me from getting bored and keep me coming back for more.

I've been going to Advantage for several years now and I love it for a variety of reasons. The trainers are extremely well educated (not just training certifications but related college and other professional degrees), FUN, and incorporate just the right mixture of encouraging and challenging clients to meet goals and knowing when to modify, back off, or rehab an injury. The facilities and equipment are top-notch and I love everything about the place! I even got my husband to join 🙂

This gym has given more than the value. I have used them to suppliment my physical therapy after surgery, and they have great skill if strengthening a person around their injuries rather than making things worse. Very engaging, very supportive, very effective.

I have been a member of Advantage Fitness since 2019. I have had 2 knee replacements and thanks to Paul and Advantage Fitness I had very little down time. I honestly believe if it wasn’t for that program I would not have recouped as quick as I did. I give them an A+. It’s the best part of my day.

I love working out at Advantage. The trainers are really knowledgable and make all the difference! Even with a knee and shoulder injury, I get a great workout. I can't recommend Advantage enough!❤

What to know before you start back.
Is this physical therapy?
No. We’re coaches, not clinicians: we don’t diagnose or treat injuries. If you’re under a doctor’s or physical therapist’s care, check with them before you start, and tell us what they’ve said in your first session.
I have an injury. Can I still join?
Many of our members do. Your first session starts with your goals and health history, so tell us about your injury or surgery there.
Should I train 1-on-1 or in a small group?
Both are options. Each Small Group Training session (2–4 people) is designed around your fitness level and goals, post-rehab included. Private Plus and Private Platinum are for people who have specific exercise restrictions that require 1-on-1 instruction. Your first session helps us find the right level of training to begin with.
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.
