I LOVE THIS GYM!! I started working out with Filipe many years ago. I had a specific goal in mind and he helped me lose 18 lbs in 3 1/2 months! I took a few years off to deal with life, but I had such an incredible and positive experience that when it was time for me to get back in shape for my wedding, I knew exactly where I wanted to train. I have been training with Filipe ever since! All of the employees are very supportive and friendly - especially Dylan!
I can honestly say that Filipe genuinely cares for his clients and has worked with me through EVERY obstacle I have come across over the years. When I lacked in knowledge about exercises or muscles, he taught me correct posture and a variety of exercises I could do based on the equipment I had available to me at home. He even drafted a customized workout plan for the days I was not working with him. When I lacked in knowledge about the right foods to eat, he wrote me a nutrition plan and gave me several recipes to try out. He taught me portion control, food prep, and most importantly, self-discipline. He even answered several questions I had about diet fads and myths. When I lacked in time, he worked with my schedule to find a time that worked or a trainer that could fill in. He also gave me great suggestions on how I could get in extra cardio in on my busiest days. When I lacked in money, he worked with me on scheduling frequency, and offered several cheaper options such as group training classes. When I lacked in motivation, he provided me the pep talks I needed to reach my fullest potential, created new and innovative exercises to keep me engaged and gave me the mental push to stay on track with my goals.
I cannot say enough great things about The Lab and how the training has changed my life and helped me live a healthier life style. It is DEFINITELY worth the money! Like most people, it is difficult for me to drag myself to the gym. It has always been something I struggled with, but Filipe's enthusiasm and obvious passion for his job makes working out more enjoyable. He is incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to ALL of his clients. Overall, Filipe has a great heart and provides an amazing service! Best choice I have ever made! Anyone who knows him will tell you the same.
