Essential Fitness Reviews

I participated in several hour long circuit training classes at Essential Fitness. The classes are geared to rotate through a series of exercises to reach fatigue of at least 4 to 6 major muscle groups in a fun fast moving workout Station from station to station. The instructor gives a thorough explanation and walks around, correcting form to maximize the benefits. By the end of class, your muscles are at fatigue and the time flies by with the other ladies participating to great music. I highly recommend to anyone looking to make a difference in their muscle tone and strength.

EF the ‘Cheers’ of RSM where everyone knows your name, where the weak gain strength & the fit get stronger! In 113 days (5/15-9/8) I said goodbye to 14.5 lbs & 14 1/2”, goodbye to size XL and hello to M. I also said hello to growing confidence, strength, balance and energy. Every class session is new and more challenging but filled with energy, encouragement & praise from the coaches. I say coaches because the instructors constantly move from person to person in these small classes providing guidance in correct moves/positions to ensure we receive maximum benefit. Truth time - in May, my ability level prevented me from directly joining a class but after 30 min. private sessions for a while I learned enough to jump into a class in June. I joined friendly ladies of all ages, sizes and abilities all look looking for the same thing: as me! Also nutrition and diet changes along the way have helped. Thank you Maureen, Cynthia, Mindy and Caryn! Jan

Love Essential fitness! They are awesome. 6 people to a class with one trainer, they make sure you are doing everything properly. I work way harder with them than on my own. Great format. Everyone is so nice & you can work at your own level. Cardio, weight training, stretching & Nutrition. What’s not to love. They are worth looking into if you are looking for a gym with accountability & trying to strength train or lose weight, or both! Check them out!!!

June 2024—We all see the ads saying a product is “life changing!” Like many of you, I roll my eyes and think, “Yeah, sure!” Several years ago I became a member of Essential Fitness. At that time, I thought my weight was ‘ok’ and I mainly wanted to get a little stronger as I was approaching 70 yrs old. With the incredible support and encouragement of the trainers at EF, I am now stronger than I was in my 30s, weigh less than I did at that age, and can enjoy all the things I love in life: cycling, pickle ball, sleeping well, and playing with my new grandson, to name a few! Thank you, EF! I will never roll my eyes again when I tell people EF has been “life changing” for me. Give them a try—you’ll never regret it!

I've been a client with Essential Fitness for a few years now. The ladies here know what they're doing. They will adjust your workout to your needs, they will encourage you and they will always keep an eye on your progress. And you will progress! I recommend them wholeheartedly!

Essential Fitness is one of the best things in my life. The classes are limited to 6 women which allows the trainers to give each of us individual attention to form and working up to our best potential. All of the members are open, welcoming, and the atmosphere is like working out at home with your friends. Maureen, Cynthia, Cathy and Mindy are magnificent! We work hard and have fun doing it! Hands down the best gym I’ve ever joined. And did I mention - it’s really clean ladies!

Essential Fitness is the perfect gym for women who want to improve their health and strength. The trainers are incredible, the small group workouts (never more than 6 women) are designed for all levels of fitness. The attention to detail and form is 2nd to none. The focus is on mind, body, and soul. There's wonderful information, training, and assistance on nutrition. Essential Fitness has taken me from not fit and unhealthy to the best shape of my life and very healthy! For the 1st time in my life I have kept the weight I lost off. If you're looking for a women's gym, a beautiful community of women that care and encourage each other then look no more! 5 stars simply are not enough stars for Essential Fitness, it's a 10+ for me!

I don’t usually write reviews but this I had to so everyone out there knows how incredible this gym is! I have gained so much strength and muscle by attending the classes. Most importantly I maintain proper form with the help of the trainers so as I advance in my fitness I also do not risk injury. Thanks again to Maureen Kathy and Cynthia. You guys rock!! 🙏🏻💯

Essential Fitness is hands down the best investment I have made in myself for my overall health, strength and fitness! The small group classes are as close you can get to one-on-one personal training. Every trainer and staff member is knowledgeable, kind, tough and compassionate. I feel a passion from Cynthia, Maureen, Caren, Cathy and Emily not only for our body fitness - but for our entire well-being including constant nutritional advice, rest advice and daily personal PT direction. I have been a member of other gyms and this one exceeds them all! I feel so grateful to have found this group and community of women.
