This gym has been a game changer in my life. I have been a member here since 2017, during which time I have been able to attend a few of the different classes they offer including yoga, stretching, and kickboxing (my favorite). This place also offers nutrition counseling, boot camp sessions and even salsa lessons! I have seen the results I've been wanting, thanks to the great staff here, who have been nothing but supportive and helpful, to me and all their members. Some gyms and fitness spots tend to judge, or belittle you when asking questions or for needing help or instructions on their equipment but the staff here have never made me feel that way. Did I mention its super affordable, (especially in this day and age), and have different membership plans that you can choose from.
Joaquin and his trainers take their time with you to make sure that you're getting exactly what you need out of your training sessions. Not flexible enough to do that activity? No problem, here's a modification that will help you work that muscle without breaking you in half. Feeling a bit of pain that you're not supposed to? Let's rest that area and focus on another part of your body.
Their laser focus on personalizing the experience makes me want to come back time and again. Even with the current COVID-19 outbreak and directives to stay home, Joaquin emailed me a personalized home workout routine with opportunities for him to give me feedback remotely! I highly recommend Elite Fitness Downtown.
I've been a client of this gym for years, and I have known the owner, Joaquin, when he was my personal trainer at a big-box gym. I've lost almost 70 pounds with exercise and mindfully eating healthy food. I'm a 65 year old who walks with a cane. Joaquin is focusing on getting my back, legs and arms strong again to give me to stamina to chase my two toddler grandkids. I now walk over 10K steps a day and work out with Joaquin, on FaceTime, in the comfort of my family room with minor exercise equipment, 2X a week, which will continute until I feel comfortable enough to return to his gym. With his gym now reopening, Joaquin is dedicated to requiring masks and cleaning throughly after each client if you want to come in. Small gyms are the way to go until we have a vaccine.
