I've joined this gym a few months ago and I LOVE IT! I recently completed one of their 28 day challenge and boy let me tell you it was AMAZING! It was hard at first following the recipes and what to eat each day but after a few days in, I started feeling a lot better. I was waking up early without felling tired; some days I didn't even needed my cup of coffee. This challenge also helped me eat better, healthier and I also explored eating some vegetables I never heard of before. Overall the gym and this challenge have been great! I totally recommend this gym to everyone! Try their free trial and be ready to melt the fat away!!! More...

Just finished one of Brickhouse's challenges that are open to non-members and boy, did I get more than I expected! I'm a beginner to CrossFit and was nervous about the intensity of the workouts but the awesome and knowledgeable trainers guided me through it every step of the way. The meal plans and nutrition advice were solid and easy to follow and I ended up dropping over 6lbs of fat in 4 weeks! Didn't lose muscle (actually gained) and made friends with some really cool people along the way. I have way more energy now in my day to day activities, sleeping better, and am stronger physically and mentally! Highly recommend trying one of their challenges if you're on the fence about the CrossFit program. Afterwards I went for a membership! Looking forward to new lifestyle changes :) More...

I was referred to Fred by one of my good friends. I am getting married in October and wanted to get in my best shape and feel strong. Fred is one of the nicest trainers I have met but also one of the hardest! He kicks my butt! I've never felt so comfortable with a male trainer. He doesn't make me feel embarrassed or stupid for not knowing the forms. He has a lot of patience and explains everything so clearly. He made sure I knew the fundamentals before we moved on to the workouts. He also makes sure we warm up correctly to avoid injuries and soreness. Fred is the best! More...

I've nothing but positive things to say about my weight loss journey/BHF gym and Diego. To be honest at the beginning I was sceptical he could help me to reach my goal BUT I've dropped off from 163 lbs to 138, lost 8. 3% of body fat and increased my muscle mass in 6 months. There will be  always room to improve but I never felt so good in my entire life: I feel strong, healthy and almost back in shape.Diego keeps pushing me to do my best, he also adjusts my workout based on how I'm doing. No matter what I think was my idea of limit now I can go beyond. He really knows what he's talking about, you can tell he loves what he does. You also get an In-Body scan, a nutrition coaching and guidance.I will be forever thankful to him. More...

Fred made it so easy for me to have fun, learn and be challenged at the same time. We build up strength and corrected my posture and positioning. I definitely got stronger and have control of releasing my muscles so i can be more flexible. Fred explains very well the reason for the exercise and also understands your pace so you don't end up not having fun. We laughed a lot and I'm sure ill be back to training with him. More...

I read about the gym through yelp and decided that it was time to make a change.I participated in the 6 week challenge, lost 17lbs and 5.7% of my body fat!

The coaches are super friendly and helpful - special thanks to Jorge for helping me! The other gym members are really friendly and encouraging as well. It's a really welcome environment.

I wish I could give BHF more stars!! I started law school a few months back and I noticed my fitness level decreasing, so I decided to sign up for the 6-week challenge offered here. One of my roommates is already a regular member here, so I had already heard great reviews from her. During the 6 weeks, I took mostly bootcamp classes and a handful of Crossfit classes as well. Jorge, Diego, and Rachael always answered any questions we had and were attentive to technique, ensuring that we avoided injuries. From the coaches to the other members, the support, attention, and positive energy was beyond what I expected. I came in to the gym 3-5 times a week and I ended up shedding 4.1% body fat while putting on 1.1 lbs of muscle. I am so grateful for the experience and I am excited to come back as a member in the near future. More...

I took the 6 weeks challenge and lost 12lbs and 6% body fat. I was very skeptic of the challenge when I began. They teach you about integrating proper nutrition with physical exercise and has raised my understanding to a new level. I went to the Bootcamp classes thrice a week and maintained the diet about 90% of the time for 6 weeks. The classes never get boring and there is always fun element involved along with improving fitness. All the coaches are very knowledgeable on movements as well as fun to work out with. A special shout out to Jorge for being supportive and backing us up. Classes are tracked on an app called wodify which helps you keep a tab on the workouts, repetitions etc. The coaches also organize fun events/competitions outside of the gym which add to the sense of community. In all, I highly recommend Brick House fitness and encourage giving them a shot. More...

My cousin paid for my six week challenge and I'll say it was the best workout experience I've had in a long time. I first started off really unhealthy and completely out of shape, I could barely keep up with the workouts. But as the weeks progressed the workouts got easier and my reps got better. The meal plan is very detailed with the amount of portions eat food category is so there was no worrying of over eating. My overall goal to meet at the end of the six week challenge was to lose 20 pounds and that is exactly what I did. It took hard work and dedication but it was all worth it in the end. I feel amazing and healthy in my own body which was something I couldn't say for a long time. More...

I started coming to Brickhouse Fitness in July 2018, my sister had been going to BHF for a while and had also done the six week challenge. I decided to give it a go and I'm glad I did. During my six weeks at BHF, I dropped 3% body fat and lost 17lbs. I was given all the tools and support I needed from Jorge and the other individuals also doing the challenge. I went from eating whatever to actually paying attention to what I was fueling my body with. Jorge was available to support me with any questions I had and kept me accountable. He, Diego, Melissa and Rachael are very knowledgeable, highly motivating, and kind people. The instructors care about good form when doing the workouts which is really important in my book. Overall,  I've never been in a gym with a better vibe. Instructors are passionate about what they do. I never felt intimidated and every who attends the classes are inviting and encouraging. I feel much stronger all-around  - thank you everyone at BHF. More...

BRICKHOUSE IS AMAZING!! If I could give his place a million stars.. I would!My fiancé and I just had our daughter 10 months ago. We both gained some weight and plateaued and wanted to get back on track. We were both working out on our own and not getting the results we wanted. And that's where Brickhouse came in. A friend of mine started coming here in the beginning of the year and her results finally convinced me that I needed to join!We both joined the 6 week challenge and we were both so nervous. We didn't think we would be able to do it. But Jorge was an awesome coach and he was really responsive and helpful. Not only that, he was very encouraging and motivating. Any questions we had he was able to answer no matter what day of the week it was. He listened to our goals and our concerns and assured us as long as we put in the work we would be able to achieve them. It doesn't stop there.. we took the boot camp classes and our main coach was Diego. He's great! He's really attentive at your form and wants to ensure your doing things correctly to get the full benefits. In addition, he pushed us to work hard each time we were there. The community and culture of the gym is very welcoming. It's great being able to talk and have fun with other members. Never have we felt intimidated. There are so many people who attend at different fitness levels. And it's great that we all have a common goal, to better ourselves Health and fitness wise. All in all, our experience at Brickhouse has been amazing. It made my fiancé and I more disciplined and allowed us to believe that we can really achieve our fitness goals. We wouldn't have been able to do it without the team and also the members.For those who are still unsure or skeptical...sign up and see for yourself. This place will not disappoint. And just remember...TRUST THE PROCESS! More...

Firstly, I want to say that Fred and the Brickhouse team are an amazing group. He is very friendly and easy to talk to.
I approached Coach Fred about some issues I have had with my shoulder and to see if I can get balanced. He scheduled me in and was able to get an assessment such as mobility and posture. He could tell right away that I am over compensating due to my past shoulder injury. After the assessment he explained in detail his previous experiences with other clients and the therapy gun that has helped so many of his clients.
Fred provided my some mobility work and stretches to help with my alignment and then introduced the therapy gun to my shoulder. The therapy gun hurt in a good way! He was very careful and patient with my shoulder and made sure I was ok with the pain. I felt after one session with him, my should felt so much better and mobility was more manageable. He always checks up on me asks how the pain is or if I am felling better. He is just an awesome guy and takes care of is clients. More...
