DUKE'S FITNESS CENTER

After years of a sedentary lifestyle; I stumbled across boxing a few months ago. I instantly fell in love. I had been debating which local gym to choose. A few weeks ago I saw that Duke's was offering a free boxing class and I attended. I immediately knew this was the right place for me. Duke's offers a judgement free place for those of all ages, fitness levels, and to my surprise and my hearts joy; those with special needs. Today I attended Customer Appreciation Day and finally took the plunge into membership. Their schedule accommodates numerous classes of variety and times. The owner and instructors are fun, supportive, and clearly show they're commitment to help their members better themselves; physically, mentally, and emotionally. I enjoyed a class I never thought I would like and found out I love. I sampled delicious whole foods and had my first introduction to kombucha, as well as, attended an essential oil class. I'm excited to be part of this community family. More...

It's so nice to see so many familiar faces, it truly is a testament to how amazing this gym is, once you join you want to stay for life! I'm looking forward to reaching new goals with the support of my Duke's family by my side! More...

I'm not a gym person, but I love this one. It's more of a community than a gym. Everyone is supportive, helpful, and friendly. There's no intimidation or judgment, everyone's welcoming and happy to help.I'm so upset that I can't take Duke's with me when I move; I'd be lucky to find another fitness center like this one.

Nate is a dedicated and focused trainer and instructor. He goes the extra mile with his clients by checking in on them and letting them know he’s there for support while they work to reach their goals. He pushes his clients to work hard while stressing the importance of mindfulness. He truly meets people where they are and helps them become who they want to be. More...

Duke’s has to be my all time favorite fitness center. When you walk in, the staff really makes you feel at home. The classes are great and they have a lot of new equipment I haven’t even seen at other gyms. I’m also using Nate’s online personal training program and am really loving how it’s taken my workouts to a new level. Can’t recommend this place enough! More...

I have been a member for only a few months now and my goals were to go to the gym to 1.Have me time 2.Improve my mental health and 3. Loose the extra weight to feel more confident. The sheer fact that there was a babysitting place, made me feel understood as a parent and it was the perfect place to reach my goals. What I never expected was to feel at home after just a little while. I’m always getting little words of encouragements here and there, that makes a big difference for me. There is always a friendly face there and everyone is willing to go above and beyond to help you reach your goals. Thank you Dukes fitness! More...

Nate is personable, knows members by name. I live in Michigan and stop in each time in Vermont, I am greated by my name. Fitness chains are not this vested. His classes will task you to your peak and at the same time fulfill you. Skip the chain fitness centers, support the local business owners. Nate returns to the community.....a must stop to satisfy your exercises itch More...

I just finished my 10th workout at Dukes! I was so happy to find a gym that offers a punch card (I live 40 min. away) and has childcare. It wasn't easy to go back to the gym after gaining weight and losing my fitness. The owner is very compassionate and welcoming. It is clear he loves what he does. Working out at Dukes has made me so strong and motivated. The difference between this gym and every other gym I've ever been to ( about 7-8 different gyms over the years) is that it is clear that ever person here is committed to there health and working out in a safe and effective way. It appears that every single person has had some training! It an easy space to work out in, with all great equipment. People are courteous and I'm inspired by watching all the great workouts. After checking out other gyms in the area I've decided that Dukes is the only place where I will grow and push myself in a healthy way. More...

I can’t remember exactly when we joined Dukes's Fitness Center maybe 8-10 years ago. We originally chose Dukes for the free childcare. We have stayed members for all these years as Dukes has become like a family to us �I can’t imagine our life without Nate and his team! More...

I joined Duke's in October 2016 with the purpose of building strength to advance myself in obstacle course racing. Nate spent three sessions with me reviewing my goals, making suggestions and showing me appropriate workouts to meet my goals. I was initially impressed with the welcoming and supportive atmosphere at Duke's. As time passed I decided to try my first group exercise class and I think these classes have become some of the highlights of my week. Lisa's Total Body Attack and Nate's Saturday morning HIIT are fixtures in my week, not just for the great workout but also because of the fantastic people that I have met and enjoy the company of on a regular basis. I have seen there to be support and growth for people of all ages and abilities at Duke's and recommend it without hesitation. More...

I have been a member of several gyms around town and this one has been the best experience by far! I used to be afraid of going to gyms because let's be honest we all feel intimidated at first, but never felt this way at Duke's. There will always be a friendly face to say hi to you, great family atmosphere. The classes are awesome and can be modified for any level of fitness. Nate is a great trainer and will always find ways to keep you motivated. If you are afraid, and feel doubts on taking a class, or on how to start your journey, I recommend taking Beginner Fit whenever it is offered. Great gym, great classes and amazing staff! More...

Dukes fitness is a nice and very relaxed atmosphere to work out in.  The gym staff are very nice and helpful, not pushy at all.  Everything in the gym is spotlessly clean, you can tell they really take care of the place.  They have all kinds of classes from the beginner yoga or pilates, to spinning to advanced spartan classes.  Babysitting, tanning bed, and newer advanced equipment, this gym seems to have it all.
