Wow, so Gary is right about the unprofessionalism. I am actually so shocked right now. Fit Factor has been like a home to me and I have spent over $13,000 dollars there in the last year. And based on Paulo treated their long-standing clients well the saying is true "With friends like these you dont need enemies." I cant imagine how they will treat their new clients. Apparently the two owners got a business divorce. Despite the fact that they knew they were doing this they still allowed people to pay for 20 sessions packages knowing that the trainer leaving would be gone before the sessions expired. Since I recently got a new job and the hours are long I asked Paulo to refund the 8 sessions I had left and he told me verbatim that the reason he wasnt refunding me is that it wasnt his fault I had a personal change in my life. In other words, getting a job to help support my family isnt considered as big of a priority of working out at Fit Factor. The truth is that he only has $660 dollars of my money but the money isnt the point it is the principle. It is true what they say that is cheaper to retain your old customers than to retain new ones any business professional will tell you it costs five times as much to acquire new customers. What it costs him to not refund my money will actually cost him more in the end cause it is true what they say it takes a lifetime to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. I really liked Paulo before but the way he has handled this whole thing has been unethical and unprofessional. The trainers there are still great and despite what Gary said about them not lasting they have been there for 12 years;however, to screw over your regular clients takes a lot of balls. I hired jimmy not fit factor and just like my package wasnt transferable to some other random person to go to my sessions with jimmy it shouldnt be transferable for me just to go to another trainer especially after they rolled out this three tiered packages where jimmy and Paulo were one price and other trainers another. If you come to see me as an attorney where I am the owner of the firm I dont send you to my associate lawyer or my paralegal and then bill you at the same rates. Truth is had he just done what is right I prob would have come back in a few weeks after I had worked out my hours and acclimated to the job. But instead I have a very sour tasted in my mouth and a very different opinion of fit factor. I thought doing business in Fort Lauderdale would be different than doing business in South Beach. This is really unfortunate because the gym is clean, the trainers are good but what trumps everything is always how you are treated as a human being. And it is clear that when Paulo discussed "minimizing the impact" on us in his valued client email he sent to everyone what he really meant was minimizing the impact of decreased revenues on fit factor. Its really too bad and it makes me wonder if that is why the other trainer left.

The Fit Factor team has been instrumental in helping me regain levels of fitness that I struggled to achieve on my own. After realizing that I was slowly getting out of shape, I began researching the benefits of one on one training. Fit Factor matched what I was looking for. Gus took the time to get to know me, understand my fitness goals and ultimately align those goals with my current abilities. He designed a program specifically for those purposes, established a baseline and over time has pushed me well beyond the levels I expected to achieve. I saw considerable improvements in my physique and after our first tranche of sessions reduced my body fat by 4% and my weight by 12 net pounds. As an athlete, I felt noticeably stronger and saw material improvements in the functionality of my existing strength. The facility is distraction free allowing me to capitalize on every minute I spend sweating. The entire staff have a lifetime of fitness expertise to draw from and have dedicated themselves to their craft. Whether you’re a fitness hobbyist or an elite athlete, the team at Fit Factor can help.

Fit Factor offers personalized fitness training in a comfortable environment. Jimmy and Paolo truly take you through a very customized routine that is well thought out and prepared for you to achieve your goals. They never give you the same exercises so your workouts are not boring and predictable. They really emphasize engaging your core as much as possible. Your core becomes stronger and your abdominals become more defined while working out the rest of your body. Jimmy is also a yoga instructor and has taught me poses I never thought I could do (including handstands!). It is a great companion to weight-training and will definitely change your body for the better. Forget the big, loud gyms with barely qualified "personal trainers" who will probably do you more harm than good. Fit Factor will exceed your expectations.

I can’t say enough about Fit Factor. Paulo and Jimmy have created a really great environment for training. Fit Factor is an intimate environment (that’s well laid out and utilizes the key equipment of much larger gyms) with total focus and attention on each individual client. The trainers are friendly and knowledgeable and create programs for each client, based on their goals. I have been training with Jimmy for 2 months I am amazed at my progress and the results already. Jimmy switches it up at every session so the workouts never get boring. He is very motivating and constantly pushes me each week. I would highly recommend Fit Factor to anyone that wants to improve their fitness.

I have been working out at Fit Factor for close to 2 years and I absolutely love it, Im hooked! The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and educated on body physiology, exercise, and nutrition. They take time to listen to your fitness goals, help you achieve them, then set new ones! I really like that there are people of all ages and abilities working out together and I think thats a great testament to the team. I have trained with both Paulo and Gus, practiced yoga with Jimmy, and completed the 170 mile Smart Ride with Lee. It is truly an inspiring, friendly, and fun atmosphere to work out in and there is no better investment than your health.

My husband and I have been working out with Jimmy at the Fit Factor for a little over a month. The personal approach and program is what I have appreciated the most. It was created with our needs and personal goals in mind and we have seen noticeable differences in this short period of time. This is a different experience than you will get at the big gyms. Jimmy not only makes each session different and challenging but he is right on top of you to make sure your form is perfect so as to prevent injury during your workout. As a physical therapist this made a big difference in the trainer I wanted to commit to.

If you are new to the area, like I was or have been here for years and maybe you dont know where to go, Fit Factor feels like home as soon as you walk in. Hands on personal training with trainers that take much pride in what they do and pay 100% attention to what your personal goals are. They have a clean facility with great equipment and trainers that are up to date with all training practices and trends. Jimmy, Paulo, Danny, Guss and all others are fantastic people that will soon become apart of your extended family! I highly recommend checking them out!
