I've been working out at Commence Fitness under the friendly and watchful eye of trainer Alexis. She's helping me get back on my feet after a sedentary post-op period. Thanks to working out at Commence Fitness, I'm stronger, and my stomach is shrinking. The workout is compact and fun. I recommend going here for supervised attention. More...

I had my second massage today with Julie. She has such amazing hands. I can't believe how different my neck and shoulders feel after she kneads out every kink and knot. Its heavenly. Commence Massage is a hidden gem. If your looking for water features and aroma therapy, this isnt the place for you. But if your looking for a great, professional massage in a calm soothing atmosphere, give it a try. Both of my college athletes have gotten massages here and they both said it wss nothing short of amazing. Treat yourself to the relaxation you deserve, you wont regret it. More...

I have to say that Jeffrey @ commence massage, is one of the best massage therapist I’ve ever had .. This place was close to my home and recommend by Groupon. He is very professional, and makes you feel very at ease ... The room environment was very cozy, with beautiful lights all around. Jeffery focused on my sciatic area and did a great job on relieving my pain and discomfort. He knows exactly what to do. He always goes the extra mile for his clients, which I was very impressed with. I will always be a returning client thanks to Jeffery. Great job Josephine ☘️ More...

I bought a Groupon for Commence Fitness with the intention of using it for a nice relaxing Swedish Massage. Prior to arriving at my appointment I suffered from a sacroiliac injury from lifting my grandson's stroller. After weeks of rest, 10 days of an anti-inflammatory, and a cortisone shot I arrived at Commence Fitness in considerable pain. After speaking with Jeff, my relaxation massage went to a therapeutic massage concentrating on my shoulders, neck and SI area. Jeff was absolutely fantastic as he explained what his background was as an exercise physiologist and then becoming a massage therapist also. I could totally see the difference in his techniques in not only the amount of pressure he applied but also in his stretching techniques and his explanation of what he was doing and why. Although I did not feel immediate relief in my SI joint, I do feel a tremendous difference in my shoulders and am practicing better posture after his explanation on how he could see and feel rounding in my upper back. I already booked 5 more sessions with Jeff which I generally do not do after purchasing a Groupon. In my opinion Jeff is not only the consummate professional but generally really cared about helping me to feel better. I do believe with his help, I will be successful in not only alleviating this pain, but will learn how to protect myself from future injury. More...

I have had two 1-hour full-body deep-tissue massages with Jeff, and both have been great and helpful experiences. He takes the time to find out what you really need to concentrate on, and focuses on those. At the same time he covers all the rest of the bases you’d expect. I felt so much better and flexible after the sessions we’ve had. He’s also very knowledgeable about physiological stuff and has been helpful in answering my questions. On top of that, he’s a really personable guy. The space is very comfortable, too. I recommend him highly. ~ Ken Sawicki More...

Alexis is very easy going and tailors each work out to your personal goals and is always prepared for each session. I was able to get my strength back after a major surgery and have been keeping at it for almost a year now. I can’t thank her enough for helping me get back on my feet! More...

The Commence Fitness trainers are by far the best you'll find in the Southington/Cheshire area. They are truly experts in their field. I've had a great experience working out with Alexis for over a year now. They excel at keeping a close eye on progression and changing the exercise/nutrition plan to get the best results possible. As a result of the coaching I've received from Commence Fitness, I've lost a considerable amount of weight and gained a ton of muscle; not to mention, I feel a million times better than I did before. I would highly recommend the trainers at Commence Fitness. They have very competitive pricing and the service is above and beyond. More...
