Thoughtful Consistency

I never write testimonials, and I don’t usually let anyone take my photo in the gym. But I am so grateful for my experience at Train 2xcell; I wanted to share it with you.

Before coming to train2xcel, I had been in a seemingly endless cycle of injury-physical therapy-gym-injury-repeat. With my confidence shaken, I concluded that I needed to accept the reality that I wasn’t going to age well. At the recommendation of my physical therapist, I reluctantly went into Train 2xcel. It was a different experience from the beginning. I had a thorough assessment of my movement patterns and my history of injuries.

Over time, I received a progression of programs that built my strength and my confidence. I now can lift more weight than I ever would have imagined. I’m approaching this phase of my life with emotional resilience and the physical strength to age gracefully. During the pandemic, I was very concerned that I would lose the progress I had made. I had many thoughtful conversations with the coaches who offered zoom classes and followed CDC guidelines that allowed me to feel comfortable returning to the gym.

I’m delighted to report that the thoughtful consistency and encouragement of the staff helped me hold my own during this difficult time. Again, I found my resilience. I’m so glad that I took those reluctant first steps. It’s one of the best investments of time and money I’ve ever made.

What an awesome gym! The trainers are knowledgeable and the members supportive. It’s like one big family. There is always a big hello when I walk in. I never liked this kind of training before I started working out here. They pinpointed my weaknesses immediately and developed a personal training program that actually works. I have gained strength and lost fat, which was my goal.

I am a huge fan of T2Xcel! The trainers are incredibly professional; they work tirelessly to personalize and continuously challenge each member’s fitness routine, and are committed to promoting a safe and inclusive community.

Although I have moved from the area, I have continued to work with T2Xcel via Zoom. I can’t imagine working with anyone else!

If you are serious about your fitness goals and are looking for a highly knowledgeable and committed accountability partner, I highly recommend T2Xcel!

The only way a gym should be! The team at Train2XL are extremely professional and their knowledge is second to none. My only regret is that I wish I had signed up sooner. Safety is a top priority and their facility is squeaky clean. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a positive change in their lifestyle.

T2X is an awesome gym because of the Talented, Knowledgeable, Professional trainers/coaches. Not only do they know their “stuff”, the trainers make it enjoyable yet challenging for me to workout. In addition, I had shoulder surgery in August and by end September I was back at T2X working out with a customize program for me to get me back to speed. Not only with my personalized program, I had a coach/trainer assisting me along my re-hab journey. You sign up for semi-private sessions and get a coach/trainer assigned to your group, yet you work on your own customized program based upon your own specific goals and needs. Also, T2X participates in community fund raisers. T2X is the place that everyone knows your name, celebrates your Birthday, and celebrates special workout achievements. They acknowledge your goals and achievements in a fun way. There is no other gym that comes close to what T2X offers its members. When you walk in you know you will be taken good care of with the trainer/coach assigned to you when you workout. Its a MUST place to join!

If you are looking for weight training—whether a beginner or an expert— in a fun environment— look no further! The trainers at Train 2 Xcel are experts and care deeply about your goals, health, improvement and overall well-being. Added plus? They are fun to work with and keep you laughing! They do a formal assessment when you join and create a workout based on where you are starting from and your own personal goals. Each time you go, this workout is adjusted to keep you interested and improving. The gym is small, IMMACULATE, and equipped with the latest — including weights better suited for a female grip. Love it here. Would not go anywhere else!

Prior to joining the Train 2 Xcel family, my gym experiences were uninspiring. From day one, I felt welcomed and cared for. My goal to gain health and strength has been a priority of the talented team of coaches who have created workouts specifically for me and my personal needs and limitations. Along with the exceptional guidance and professionalism, the semi personal training and metabolic classes are not only fun, but provide camaraderie and an encouraging community. I can’t recommend them enough!

Before starting Train 2 Xcel I was experiencing lower back pain for over a year. As a college athlete, I was extremely frustrated being sidelined from the sport I love. After spending months going to multiple doctors and therapy, I discovered Train 2 Xcel. I immediately started to see improvements in my back pain as well as my overall strength. Not only am I completely pain-free, but have never felt more physically and mentally strong.
My confidence has increased in the weight room and I have seen significant improvement on the lacrosse field. I always dreaded the idea of going to the gym and working out, but now going to Train 2 Xcel is the best part of my day. The amazing and motivating staff makes each custom workout both challenging and enjoyable. Everyone at the gym has become a family to me, and my favorite part is seeing everyone’s smiling faces on early mornings. I highly recommend Train 2 Xcel as they helped me become the athlete I never thought I could be.

Four years ago, I retired and my gym closed within a few months. I was looking for some structure as I knew working out was beneficial to my overall health, but I had been lacking the motivation to do so. I spent most of my workouts on cardiovascular training, ignoring the weight training. My weight constantly fluctuated, my strength as I got older was poor and my endurance was almost nonexistent. I responded to a 6-week trial at Train 2 Xcel, hoping this might be the answer I was looking for, it was!

The trainers were there to guide you. They take the time to know what you need, when to give that extra push, or realize that some days you might not be able to give 100%. They know how to motivate! It makes a big difference having a trainer work with you every session. I’ve had 2 surgeries during my four years here, and was able to return to the gym quicker, as they wrote up my workouts to help keep me moving and get back to where I was.

One thing I did not expect to happen there, was the friendships I have made. Getting to know other members, working out with them, whether it is a metabolic class, or a semiprivate lesson really helps me want to go to the gym. I look forward to being there. I never thought that I could say that working out can be fun, but it is here.

I’m 62, I take care of my 2-year-old grandson 2 days a week, I’m an avid golfer, and I enjoy walking. I can honestly say that if it wasn’t for the staff at Train 2 Xcel, and they’re knowledge and expertise, I would not be in truly the best shape of my life.
