“All of the trainers know my name and make a point to say hello.”

I started at the Training Ground a few months ago now. From the moment I walked in, I could tell it was different from other personal training I’d tried before; it is such a positive, motivating environment! They work with you to fit training around your schedule as much as possible and go at a pace that will bring progress, but also a pace you feel ready to go. All of the trainers know my name and make a point to say hello when I walk in, even though I don’t work personally with them! It is a wonderful feeling and one you don’t get just anywhere. 

I have noticed not only a physical change, but a mental change, as well, since my first day. I am more confident, I stand taller, and am more comfortable within myself. My trainer Reggie has made training a fun challenge I enjoy coming to throughout the week and never plans a session to be the same as the one before! He always has a smile on his face and we usually end up laughing our way through the work out. He pushes me to work hard and genuinely wants to help me succeed. I truly couldn’t have picked a better trainer- Heather, the manager and a true ray of sunshine herself, definitely did well when pairing us together! I look forward to continuing my training at the Training Ground and working hard toward my goals!

Sport Performance Training: Golfers

“As a golf professional, I’ve been able to increase my clubhead speed and swing more efficiently. With the help of Steve and his TPI background, we have identified weak areas that sometimes cause pain and strengthened those areas to a point that the pain is almost completely gone.

More importantly, my precision is better and my clubhead speed has improved by at least 3 MPH, which translates to about 20-30 yards! I couldn’t be happier with the results.”

Personal Training for Smart Strength-Building

“With just a few hours per week, I have made dramatic strength improvements without sacrificing my health. When I first started at Training Ground, I hadn’t been able to lift heavy overhead for almost two years due to shoulder injuries. Karly patiently rebuilt my upper body strength from scratch and almost a year later, I’m the strongest I have ever been without any pain. I would be crazy not to also mention the incredible lower body progress we have made along the way, including a 300+ pound hip thrust!”

“The workouts are always challenging and exciting and with Karly cheering me on, I consistently surprise myself with my own abilities. The encouraging, welcoming, and overall positive atmosphere in the gym makes it so that my hours at Training Ground are among my favorite in the week. Whether early in the morning or after work, I can always count on walking into Training Ground and finding people laughing and having fun while getting in a great workout. Thanks to Karly and the rest of the trainers (and Leena!) for making it such a great place to train!”

Personalized Workouts

“Training Ground is great. Terrific facilities and excellent trainers. I have trained with Steve and Keren and both are really good at personalizing each workout to meet my needs and varying the moves to engage and challenge me. While I look forward to getting back to Training Ground, Keren has done an outstanding job of virtual training. All we need are a few dumbbells, some stretch bands and a yoga mat for floor work. Add a chair to help with balance and we are all set. I highly recommend Training Ground.”

“a great experience and never crowded”

“I started with Keren, one of the personal trainers at Training Ground this fall and it has been a great experience. The space where you work out is only for trainers working with clients so it is never crowded. The vibe is very personalized and everyone (including the owner) is responsive to questions. I have recommended Training Ground to several friends because my experience has been so positive.”
