Mike Oakes is a coach you meet once in a life time - if youre lucky. I started working with Mike to fix my running form. That lucky meeting has completely transformed me physically and mentally. Im 64 but at the tech start-up where I work (with an average age of 20-something) more than once Ive heard Im more fit than the entire company combined. Friends have told me I seem to be 10 years younger than my real age. That is Mike. He has an extraordinary ability to motivate. When I started, push-ups and burpees where distant athletic possibilities. Now they are routine. What is truly amazing is his ability to coax another 10 (or 20) from me after Im absolutely certain I cant. do. one. more. And then I do. Mikes mental coaching is equally amazing. One of those kids chosen last for any sports team, my physical confidence had always been zero. I told Mike I was scared to try a move that required some arm strength. Without missing a beat he arranged a harness to let me try the movement. I gave it several trys and built enough confidence to go solo. He just smiled and revealed that the harness was a standby prop. I had been doing the work all along. That was a transforming moment for me; I started to feel capable in a new way. Hes brilliant. He watches his clients carefully and corrects immediately. He spots the unengaged muscle or wrong form that may be contributing to pain or weakness. And all of his coaching is done with both respect and wicked funny delivery. He makes me laugh most of the time. So after 5 years of 5 am workouts I am totally addicted. Hes given me the tools and habits to maintain my fitness. Hes convinced me to do a Spartan and do it well. And he also inspires me to keep getting stronger and take on new fitness challenges. If you are looking for serious fitness, serious strength and a hilarious, smart, inspiring coach; Mike is it.

I first came to Fitness Together in the fall of 2012, weighing 240 pounds and with a history of back and hip problems. At least once a month, my hips would collapse out of alignment, causing sharp pain and making even walking difficult. The realization dawned on me that I needed to make some changes to my life, and I decided to give personal training a try. Walking into Fitness Together for the first time, I was nervous, with little idea of what to expect. However, the staff put me at ease and found training times that conveniently fit within my schedule. Mike Oakes, the owner and also a trainer, diagnosed my issues and developed a regimen focusing on functional, total body strength, with an emphasis on core strength and stability. Each session was different, challenging, and fun! Mike’s encouragement and sense of humor helped push me through my perceived limits, and his warm personality and genuine enjoyment in working with me kept me coming back. I also worked extensively on self-defense with Nick Bennett, a mixed martial artist and jiu-jitsu black belt, who helped boost my self-confidence and fitness as well. Fast-forward to present, and I am amazed by the results: My back and core have strengthened dramatically, my hips are stable, and I am pain free. The training (coupled with a healthier diet) has helped me shed 40 pounds, and my energy has skyrocketed. I have greater mobility and massive improvements in functional strength. In short, I feel years younger. I would like to thank the staff at Fitness Together for helping me achieve something I never thought possible: To be, at age 36, in the best shape of my life! -Matt Burr, Concord MA

I needed to get into much better shape going into a Hip Replacement and after some research and a face to face meeting, I decided to work with Fitness Together in Westford. The staff took time to understand what my main concerns and goals were and developed a plan to help me meet my goals. We started with two 1 on 1 sessions a week moved up to three and will finish a 3 month plan with 4 sessions a week. The facility is spotless, all of the equipment is new and well maintained, workout rooms are large and offer a comfortable and discreet work area. Water and hand towels are free. I have been working with Shayne who is always on time and prepared with the days workout routine. Workouts differ slightly day to day which keeps the routines fresh and challenging. He trains, teaches and motivates with confidence and has focused on my keys issues and muscle groups extremely well. Other staff members have been helpful and stepped in when Shayne was off. I highly recommend Westfords Fitness Together.

I have been going to Fitness Together in Westford since 2015. When the business transitioned to new ownership in 2015, things improved greatly. There is a new environment with new trainers and leadership. I have worked out with a variety of trainers and have found each one to be knowledgeable. No two workouts are the same, and the trainers are always looking for ways to improve my fitness level by asking questions about my daily activities and my diet to help me realize my goals. The best part is that the trainers are focused on my individual needs and tailor the workout to me level. It’s clear seeing other clients work out in the individual areas that everything is unique to the client. They now are offering boot camps and yoga classes as well. Definitely worth checking out if you prefer or need one-on-one workout sessions and the constant encouragement to pursue a healthy lifestyle.

I have been training with Mike Oakes for seven years. I am in my late 60’s and had numerous personal training experiences prior to working with Mike, some of which were at a Fitness Together on Long Island. Mike is unrivalled! His knowledge of musculature and kinesthesiology is extraordinary. He has helped me overcome one age-related vulnerability/injury after another. He will push as far as one wants to go to achieve levels of fitness one might not otherwise conceive of. Throughout it all, he is funny and good-natured. He fosters an atmosphere of good will and friendliness among all his trainers and clients. I have not only benefited myself, I have watched others change their strength and fitness. Despite the range of clients Mike works with (from young wrestlers to senior citizens), he cheers everyone on with equal enthusiasm. I cannot recommend him highly enough

This must be how it feels to be trained like a professional athlete. Nick Bennett goes beyond the kind of personal training Ive experienced in other facilities. In his sessions he guides me through surgically targeted, precisely monitored movements to build strength for the physical weaknesses he is constantly assessing. Im amazed at his ability to see the issues movement by movement. Hes creative on the fly - assembles the right platforms, weights, bands to transition to the next exercise just as the previous one concludes. Hes an elite athlete (Brazilian jiu-jitsu and boxing) and treats me with the same respect. I end each session feeling I am making progress. Extraordinary fitness experience for anyone serious about training. Especially extraordinary for a 60-something woman. Immaculate facility.

Ive been working out here for a few years now and it has been an amazing experience. The work outs are constantly changing keeping the sessions fresh with new and creative exercises. When I had hip surgery, my trainer was knowledgable in the way that he knew every muscle to target in order to make my recovery a speedy and painless process. Whether it is training for an event, recovering from an injury, or just wanting to get in/stay in shape, the atmosphere and expertise of Fitness Together makes any personal fitness goal realistic and achievable. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.
