Incredible results! My 11-year-old autistic son has been working out with Joe Joseph for a month now. Truly amazing to see my child working up a sweat and doing more and more reps, thanks to his gifted, knowledgeable, intuitive trainer. Can’t say enough about Joe’s tremendous expertise and ability to connect with all ages, all fitness levels. What a great person! What a great facility! More...

Being accustomed to corporate-owned facilities which charge you and arm and a leg for "initiation fees" and are swarming with humanity fighting one another to use the elliptical trainers, I was apprehensive about getting another gym membership.
My husband and I had immersed ourselves in the bodybuilding lifestyle last spring, but weren't sure how to do some of the exercises correctly, didn't have access to equipment outside of a set of dumbbells and recumbent bicycle, and were struggling with our diets (particularly during and after our wedding). He found this place, looking for somewhere to call our second home with staff that would help push us in the right direction. P.R.E.P. seemed like a good fit, so we both signed up for the personal training program.
Since December 9th, we've lost a combined 25 pounds and 10% body fat just by showing up and following the meal plan Joe recommended. I have muscles I didn't even know existed, more energy, and my strength has improved tremendously. I'm not just giving this place five stars because of results alone. I'm giving it five starts because Joe and Ryan are extremely helpful in answering all of my questions, correcting my form during training sessions, and are straightforward about what I need to improve and how to improve it. Joe has taken a lot of time to explain nutrition, tweak my diet as needed, to assess what muscle groups I need more work on, and adjusted my workouts to target those weak points. He's very knowledgeable about diet and exercise and applies what he's learned through his education and experience as a competitive athlete to the goals I'm working toward. Getting a membership here has been a total game changer.
Staff and environment are friendly, the gym is clean and spacious, hours and availability for training sessions are convenient, and the fees are very affordable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
