MASS fit is an excellent gym with an unbeatable location. The equipment is sufficient and has everything one would need. What sets it apart from the rest is the community atmosphere of energetic trainers and like-minded clients/members striving for a common goal of healthy sustainable body movement. After years of working out in a gym trying to recover from an ACL/Meniscus surgery, taking advice from numerous physicians and therapists, pain was something I assumed I would have to live with for the rest of my life. The pain didn’t stop at my knee either; it began to migrate to my lower back and shoulders. I eventually started visiting a chiropractor twice a month after repeated injuries from improper dead-lifting. At that time I decided to give Steve at MASS fit a chance. Within weeks I noticed a major difference, it truly was a “Eureka moment”. Not only did my pain dissipate but I began to understand where it was generating from and how to prevent it from coming back. I am now armed with a knowledge of self-maintenance. I have been given recommendations about diet, vitamins, sleep positions, and footwear. It’s a lifestyle change that I can never go back on. My biggest results are apparent when I’m not in the gym. Through proper muscle engagement everyday tasks like lifting up my kids, yard work, and shoveling snow are miniature expressions of my progress instead of dreadful pain triggers. My golf game is also exponentially better, more body rotation, more power, and way more distance. Steve is much more than a trainer, he is a coach and friend who has opened my eyes to a world of pain free living and well being. Go get screened, embrace change and reap the benefits.

MASS F.I.T. has changed my life in ways I did not think were possible. I started training with Steve 4 months ago. It was a big decision and commitment for me as I had joined gyms and hired a trainer in the past and had very little results. This time I would quickly see and physically feel would be different. By the 3rd session my posture was starting to dramatically change in ways I and my family were noticing. Ways Steve told me could change after my screening session. I could now stand straighter, taller and felt like my feet were more firmly on the ground when walking and standing. I had not felt unsteady on my feet, but now standing was dramatically different and I truly felt more grounded. I no longer experienced occasional back pain and found myself easily carrying 50 lbs of dog food up a flight of steps. Wow!! Steve truly cares about his clients and provides guidance in lifestyle, nutrition, daily living habits in addition to excellent personal, individualized training. He taught me that making little changes on a daily basis adds up to major changes to ones life. I am so excited that I made the right decision to join MASS F.I.T. and make healthy changes in my life. I know the next 4 months will bring more positive changes and I am ready for this and more!! Thank you Steve for providing excellent training and creating a community feel at your gym that is always welcoming to all.

MASS F.I.T. is the best gym! You have to check it out! Ive been going to gyms my entire life and this is the first time Ive developed a routine that has had a huge impact on my health and body. The gym has tons of equipment and Im never waiting in line. The space is clean and full of natural light which is really helpful if you work out in the AM as I do. All of the staff and trainers are friendly and easy to talk to if I have any questions about an exercise. Ive been going to this gym for four years now, 3-4 days a week, and training with Steve, the owner. Ive reached all of my weight loss goals and, more importantly, my strength and endurance has improved immensely. I look forward to seeing Steve in the morning to work out; who can say that about thier gym experience? He gives me advice on food and provides me routines that I can move through on my own when I come to the gym outside of our scheduled sessions. You really get so much more from Mass F.I.T. than a gym where youre just another number/subscription. Definitely check this place out if you, like me, have been searching a long time for a gym experience /exercise routine that works and lasts. I found it here!

As someone that has been in out of physical therapy since I was in high school with sports injuries, I have seen a lot of top end physical therapist. I never thought I would find a gym with a staff of personal trainers that are not only humble, welcoming, and kind but also had the knowledge and science that matched many of the physical therapists I have had in the past. The trainers are also able to deliver that information in a way that allows the average person to not only physicalize what the trainer is asking of them but also understand why each exercise is important for their specific pain, goals and body type. The facility is intimate yet roomy and constantly being improved. Every time you walk in there you know the owner, Steve is thinking of ways to improve the customer and member experience. There is so much care in what Steve does and that affects the way all the staff interact and train their clients. Many people including myself walk around with minor chronic pain due to lifestyle or past injuries, over the past 5 months working with Mass F.I.T. Staff that pain has gone away and I feel myself getting stronger and living a more active life.

I hadnt been in a gym for 30 years before meeting Steve, but have now been working out with him twice a week foror over two years (thanks to my girlfriend who also started using Mass FIT when she started having some kneed problems). Steve took it nice and slow at first so I didnt get discouraged, but have "taken it to the next level" two or three times already . Just as importantly, he doesnt push my 60-year-old body (in my mind, Im still 25) further than it needs to go, so I dont worry about the risk of injury. My goal is not weight loss, but have probably traded in a pound of fat for every pound of muscle Ive gained. Further, as I split my time between Philadelphia and Florida, Steve and I have figured -- via Skype -- out how to keep it going when Im Florida. Cant recommend Mass FIT enough. But dont go if you dont like to have fun...the guys are a hoot.

MASS F.I.T. is by far the best gym I have ever been a part of. My fiancé and I are able to do work out sessions together which makes it fun and motivating! Not only are we getting healthy and fit but they make it fun!!! Our trainer Steve is the best! He is always making us laugh and keeps us motivated. He also is more than willing to give us work outs to continue doing on our own when we go into the gym on our off days. We truly love this place! I have always been intimidated by the gym and lifting weights but they make it so inviting. All the trainers are so wonderful and go out of their way to say hello. I cannot say enough good things about this gym!! Definitely a hidden gem in Philly!
