					I’ve been training at Lift since it opened (and with Josh elsewhere for a few years prior). As a middle aged endurance athlete, I used to think I should strength... read more train, but never did it consistently until I found Josh. He understands that I have some chronic injuries from years of marathons and triathlons. He works with me to strengthen my weakness to help make me a well rounded athlete. He also pays very close attention to my form to prevent additional injuries. All the strength coaches and clients at Lift create a fun and supportive community and I always look forward to my sessions. I believe that my Lift sessions are the key to staying “young” as I age.

Lift has helped me to get back into a routine in a... read more safe & supportive environment. Coach Isaac customized a program that focuses on the results I want to achieve before my wedding in this fall. He holds me accountable and does a great job of explaining the various techniques I'm doing - it's amazing how much I can now accomplish in 30-45 minutes with the right guidance.

The owners and coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and the gym itself is immaculate. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to reaching their fitness goals!

					I've been working with Abby 3 days a week since October 2021, and it's probably not too much of a stretch to say I'm in love with her.

In all seriousness,... read more after 5 months of 1:1 sessions multiple times a week, I can confidently say that Abby embodies everything I could want in a trainer.

* Abby worked with MY body. She is an educated professional who actively listened to me when I told her the issues I'd been having with tightness in my back and a stiff knee for years. She took the time to understand what was going on with me, and thoughtfully introduced exercises to address and correct my problems. She never forgot about it, never dismissed my previous efforts to help myself, (stretching, physical therapy, yoga, massage therapy, etc.), and continually tweaks my form or variations to make sure we're improving my body.

*Abby is attentive! She never looks at her phone, chats with coworkers, or lets me slack through a movement. Even though I imagine it gets repetitive to remind me to tighten my core or drive through my heels, she's always making sure I'm getting the best workout I can in each session.

*Abby is humble and hilarious. She is SO fit and awesome which could be intimidating, but I feel completely comfortable huffing through movements with her. She makes me feel like she wants me to succeed and progress as much as I do, which just creates an awesome and positive atmosphere. She encourages my goals and progress, which in turn helps me push through tough movements. She's always energied and ready to go in the mornings, and as an added benefit consistently has me laughing at her silly sayings. If you work with her, you'll soon be preferring to Thursday as "Friday Jr."

*Abby produces results! Working with her not only am I getting stronger, but she's helped me incorporate lifestyle changes in a sustainable and encouraging way. She is willing and able to provide nutrition and lifestyle advice. I love so much that she gives me tangible, easily incorporable things to add into my routine. She is an advocate for starting and small and building, and it's great to work with someone who shares a long term vision for lasting results.

If you're looking for a positive, encouraging, attentive, and results-driven trainer, you'll find it all in Abby!

I like that they... read more offer 30,45 or 1-hour training sessions so you can find one that works for you. The time always goes by quickly!
