My trainer (Christian) knows when and how to push me, but he also listens when I am just not feeling it. I also like that he further caters to what I need that day--a list of tasks so I can work more individually or exercises that REALLY let out stress (like hitting the tire with a sledgehammer! ). He's also funny and entertaining! More...

I love this gym. You work with a trainer every time you come into the gym. The question I get when I walk in the door is how are you feeling today. If I have any aches or pains my trainer Eric has me do some stretching and rolling out. I will never go to another gym. More...

Yesterday I called about a dozen places looking to be adjusted. I had limited movement in my neck and had quite a bit of pain in my neck, shoulder and back. They were willing and able to fit me in. It was one of the best adjustments I’ve had. Although I’m sore (very normal when you haven’t been adjusted in a while), I feel so much better and have much more movement in my neck. They also did not mind when I asked about bringing my three kiddos with me. More...

I was suffering with severe hip and back pain from too many hours in a car traveling and not dedicating enough time to stretching. I was barely able to put on my shoes and socks without wincing or get in and out of bed. I could tolerate the pain, but as a CrossFitter it was extremely frustrating to be so inactive. I saw Vinny for two sessions of mobilizing and various muscular therapy techniques and I cannot believe how much my condition improved in just those 2 sessions! I was able to walk normally again and even take on some light swimming within 24 hours. I was also able to have a massage (which I definitely wouldn't have been able to previously). I saw Alex who expertly assessed what my body needed and intuitively applied the right amount of pressure without any need for direction from me. Seriously, this was one of the best massages I've EVER had. I didn't just receive excellent treatment and care at Wrightstown Health and Fitness, but I was given practical advice and learnt a couple new tricks to take home with me. I'm very sad that I don't live nearby to be able to keep going here! Thank you Vinny, Alex & all your staff for the high standard of care and service you provided during my short time in PA. More...

Wrightstown Health & Fitness is an all inclusive health and fitness facility with exercise, nutrition, massage, chiropractic and acupuncture. What I like most is having a personal trainer every time you walk through the door. So if today my shoulder hurts - that's what we work on; tomorrow my back, that's what we work on. This is NOT a gym where you get a schedule of exercises and 6 weeks later you get reviewed. This is hands on every time you go! To me, the over all best part is that the trainer, chiropractor and massage therapist talk to one another about the issues you have so they can all work together as a team in providing you the best services. Eric, my trainer, Patrick and Nikki, chiropractors, Donna, massage therapist, have gotten me through 2 surgeries and another upcoming one. We talk about what's coming up and we work on those issues. I feel confident that I got thru my surgeries with less pain due to their expertise. This is my team!And finally, they have an independent physical therapist, Theresa, working there that is tremendous. Everyone of the trainers, chiropractors, massage therapists, etc. have the training and talent to help you. More...

An acupuncture treatment with Edmund Gibson is a real pleasure. Many people are afraid of needles, but he puts you instantly at ease. His enthusiasm for his profession is infectious. And as soon as you meet him, his genuine care and compassion for his patients is instantly apparent. Edmund is a true healer. Not only is he highly trained and well traveled in pursuit of furthering his knowledge of acupuncture. He also possesses a natural gift of intuition, and really listens to what his patients want and need. With his thorough intake, his use of herbs and tuning forks, he takes a refreshingly holistic approach, giving you the confidence that you are in good hands. I would not hesitate to recommend Edmund to my friends and massage clients. Try him today. You will not be disappointed. More...

WHF is truly the BEST holistic health center there is! I have been struggling with chronic pain and loss of function/ mobility due to a tragic riding accident in 2014. Following spinal surgery I spent months and months doing physical therapy only to find minimal relief of back pain and minimal return to mobility; this is when I decided to check out WHF to see what they were about. I was very intrigued when I learned that they have a holistic approach to health care. Not only do they offer personal training but they also have two very experienced accupunterists on site, as well as yoga, massage and nutritional counseling by registered dieticians. I met initially with Christian and explained to him my limitations and he saw them as opportunities for improvement. I have worked with personal trainers in the past and I thought that he wouldn't be very interested in working with someone with several limitations but I was pleasantly surprised that he was happy to try to help me. I also tried accupuncture for the first time in my life at WHF and I saw an amazing improvement in reduction of pain. Steve is Great!! He spent the time with me to understand the problem and work hard to help me to improve. I was a skeptic at first but now I am a believer of the benefits of accupunture; I am so glad that everything is there under one roof too. Words can not express how grateful I am to Christian for taking the time to work with me to help me maximize my capabilities. I walked into WHF several months ago with significant limitations on my physical abilities and slowly but surely I have made tremendous strides that I could not have imagined were possible. The best part is that the trainers and all of the staff truly care about their clients, they make you feel welcome and I know that they have my best interest in mind. The atmosphere is very unique and one that definetly appeals to me. I love the positive attitude and caring of the staff and the sense that they share the goals as I do which is to help me to maximize my mobility, strength and well being. I have not found this attitude or philosphy in any physical therapy facility or fitness center. I will be a life long client for sure. Thank you More...

The massage services at Newtown Massage and Spa are truly excellent. It is located in the Wrightstown Health and Fitness building, just outside of Newtown, PA. The several massages I’ve had from my massage therapist, Sarah, were the best I’ve ever had. Each time I saw her for a specific problem with my neck or back, and left amazed at how much better I felt – the difference was like night and day! Like everyone working here, Sarah has very positive energy, which is refreshing when you are feeling down and in pain because her treatments lift you up both physically and emotionally. More...

After being told by a physiotherapist that I would never be able to do a sit-up again due to my bad back, I am so thankful that Wrightstown Health & Fitness proved her wrong! My trainer Christian quite literally transformed me. When I first started, I hated running and now I absolutely love it. I'm almost amazed that I can now climb a rope, something I couldn't even do in fifth grade. I'm stronger than I've ever been, which makes me feel empowered and fulfilled. In the past, I've never felt comfortable in gyms because of the lack of professional guidance. However, from the get-go I knew that I was in good hands. And what strikes me about the trainers at WHF is the fact that they truly care about their clients, something that makes me want to stay there long term. What I also love is the fact that everybody at the gym is so approachable, and I have made several friends since joining. In addition, the trainers are great with all ages, confidently supervising the workouts of my 12-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son, and customizing them to their goals. More...

The personal training at Wrightstown Health and Fitness, just outside of Newtown, PA, has changed my life. Both the staff and clients are so positive and friendly that you really feel you’re a part of something, and I’ve made some wonderful friends here. This is definitely different than any gym I’ve ever been to because of all the additional services they offer (chiropractic, massage, nutrition and acupuncture). I love that the caring trainers keep track of your progress and check in on you, both in and out of the gym. This helps you take accountability for your health. Since starting here in June 2015, I’ve done things I never ever thought I would, such as box jumps, dead lifts, running, push-ups and rope climbing. I’ve even lost 32 pounds, and I feel like a new woman. This place is also different because if I’m having an off day, the trainers will modify my workouts, and on stressful days I love coming here to get away from it all. The trainers will also check on you if you are sick or haven’t come in a while. Christian is my go-to trainer. He is very motivating with very infectious positive energy. Vinny is very knowledgeable about anatomy and exercise science. All the trainers are knowledgeable in different ways and each offers something different. They closely communicate, so that each one knows your strengths and weaknesses. I love this place and will always come here. More...

A little over 2.5 yrs ago, I was looking to get back into an exercise routine. I had spent the previous year, slowing rehabbing my knee after ACL/Meniscus reconstruction. Exercise was always a priority in my life and I was desperately looking to get my health back on track. I decided to take part in The Blitz program to jump start my weight loss, after being "out of commission" for a while. The program empowered me to get my health back on track and start working on my overall physical fitness. My first year at WHF was life-changing! Eric, Vinny & Christian all helped me get my fitness level and knee in great shape! As my fitness level improved, my activity level increased to where I could run & play tennis at a competitive level again! I continued to incorporate training sessions into my fitness routine. The guys at WHF were always in tune to what exercises would keep me moving forward. I had reached my personal goal of coming back, after knee surgery, and was able to play tennis. I was back to playing a couple of times a week...when I was stopped in my tracks & sidelined, again, with a torn labrum in my hip! I had consulted with my Orthopaedic Surgeon & he advised against surgery (music to my ears, b/c I didn't want to take another year to rehab my hip). However, he advised that I take 8 months off from playing any tennis or running and go back to Physical Therapy. I had to let that sink in. I decided to seek the advice of the trainers at WHF who had helped me strengthen my knee. I'm so glad that I did. Christian Zetterberg did not even miss a beat! He asked me to trust him & we hit the ground running (figuratively speaking!). He did his homework & over the course of 8 months, helped me stretch & strengthen my hip! It started out slow, but now I am feeling great again (pain free) and have started back to running & playing tennis!!! ~Each trainer at WHF helped & encouraged me through my hip recovery...but I am truly thankful for the persistence, knowledge & enthusiasm (& watchful eye) of Christian. My hip is feeling so much stronger~ Thank You! ~Julie More...
