BreakThru Boxing and Fitness: Opinions

Negative experience: Nothing is perfect…
You are correct with that logic Joshua! And perfect is nothing. I appreciate your 1 star and that you took the time out of your life to stop to say hello! I hope that you come join us for a class and allow me to earn a 5 star from you. I don't believe you have ever taken a class with me and it would be honor to have you in! Thank you! Also remember to be kind and thoughtful to everyone you meet! Let me know when you are free to take our trial class!
Fantastic experience: I've been loving my experience at BreakThru and have already seen great results in the first few months. The community Coach Curtis has built there is really fantastic. As someone who was very anxious about walking into a brand new sport, I felt comfortable there almost immediately. It's hard work but it really does feel like everyone is in it together, and that goes a long way!
Fantastic experience: Curtis is super passionate about boxing and helping his students. He is super knowledgable in all aspects of boxing, nutrition, kickboxing, and all things sports and exercise! He truly just wants the best for everyone and you will find a class of people who are super supportive, and as he says, like your own sports teammates

Fantastic experience: Curtis is a great, personable, motivational teacher who has put together smart classes which challenge you. His gym is exactly what I was looking for! The classes are built to push you without burning you out, which keeps me coming back.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to the gym for over a year and it is great. The workout program is dynamic and changes so it avoids the mundane trap other programs fall into. There are classes offered that are more discussion based to improved other aspects of your life, not just helping you be physically healthy. There are a range of people who attend who have different athletic abilities, but everybody breaks a sweat!
Fantastic experience: This place is more than a gym! Is a family outside of home! I enjoy my time here, the support and we push each other every workout! There is no other place like BreakThru boxing!
Fantastic experience: Great community, with dedication to each individuals goals!
Kim!!! We appreciate your kind words!! Our environment is welcoming and friendly to all levels! Thank you for coming in and supporting what we're doing!! Enjoy the rest of your day!! Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: Super motivating and welcoming space. The instructor takes a holistic body, mind AND social approach to fitness to achieve our goals in a sustainable way. He continually rotates strength, endurance, speed and different types of workouts to keep everything fresh and fun. Whether it is your first time working out or you’re already in shape there is something for everyone.
Cassie,
Thank you for your review! I hope that people understand that when they come here that all of our movements are connected with our mind, body and our spirit. Each lesson should be working all of those parts of people's character. Keeping things fresh and creative allows our minds to truly develop. You come to each class that you attend with a positive attitude and a hard work ethic which I mentioned to you very frequently! That's the type of person that gets things done! You took on the challenge to do one of our OCR events and you walked away feeling successful! Your performance each time that you come in is to the best of your ability and I look for that as a coach. You have also grown in many aspects of movement with regards to strength and coordination and balance. Just to name a few. I look forward to coaching you and watching you continue to develop as an athlete and as a human! Thank you again for your kind words. You're very much appreciated!
Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: excellent coach, so happy to have him as a mentor and as a coach. He open his gym to me with open arms knowing my struggle.
Manny, everyone's got struggles don't we?? When we work together and we work with people that care, it's easier to control our environment and grow. I'm sure you were a mentor to someone in your life and I know that it is something that you are observing from me as well. That makes my heart feel warm and fuzzy. You are a good man and you always got a smile on that face. Don't ever stop believing in yourself. Remember you can do anything you can set your mind to. Thank you for this great comment. It means a lot to me. Let's see what happens if we keep training for the rest of our lives!! Keep getting better together!! Thank you again sir!
Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: Break Thru has been a game changer. The combination of the highly experienced coach (Curtis is the real deal) and a great group of regulars, all of whom are supportive and driven, makes this gym stand out. I started six months ago, wanting to be stronger and more fit. I have gotten way more than I thought I would! Significant strength gain, physical balance, better sleep, actual boxing/fighting skills, humility. This gym strengthens through failure - you can’t get better at things unless you are brave enough to try what you are unable to do. As an aside, even though I wasn’t looking to lose weight, I have been surprised at how much my body has changed. I’m not mad.
Laura, this comment is truly so thoughtful. I am so pleased that this is what you are taking away from my program. You are a hard worker and we get to see how strong you are each week by not being ok with good enough. The will you have demonstrated has always been in you I am assuming. Why not let it out in this domain ya know? As you have started to grow through our training we can now see that you are going to a place that may have been unseen in you before. That true growth with connection to our mind, body and our soul. Thank you for allowing me to coach you. When I have a student like you that is feeling the way that you're feeling. I stated in your comment that's why I became a teacher. So many have stimulated that growth in me. It's really nice as a teacher to know that I'm having my students feel that way as well. Thank you for your continued hard work! Look forward to watching you get better each day!
Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: Coach Curtis is phenomenal! You can tell he does this because he truly enjoys it. Each class is planned out, with a mix of intense working out and learning new techniques. I look forward to every class!
Steve!!!! Watching you grow is truly remarkable. You give your best each day. Learning our skills and pushing the body. Since day 1 we have observed you begin to transform into a better version of yourself. You are a gentleman. I appreciate your hard work each min of each class. keep doing what you are doing. your rewards are re bountiful if you stay on this path. Thank you again for the kind words.
Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: Coach Curtis is a great coach and mentor to my son! He is very educated on martial arts and has so much to teach others.
Alison,
Your son is one of the best children I've ever had come to my gym. He is truly going to be a great man. From your guidance alone, he has had so much success already in his life. He comes to the gym and he's always focused and ready to go. He's a very disciplined athlete. I hope to continue to teach him. He has made so many advancements with me in the in the short amount of time that he's been at my gym. Thanks for bringing them in and we'll see you at the gym soon! I truly appreciate you driving him and supporting him while he's training with me! Thank you so much!!
Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: An Experience like none other ! Great for all walks of life , amazing atmosphere , extremely versatile whether your goal is self defense , getting fit , no matter the goal Break Through Boxing has a home for you . 10/10!
Nick!!! I'm grateful to read these words that you have written about our program! You know I always respect your hard work ethic and your positive attitude! Thank you for encouraging others to come and join our program with us! Enjoy the rest of your day! Train DIFFERENT!!!
Fantastic experience: Been working with coach Curtis for 17 months now. My life is changing for the better. Almost 64 and the Dr.likes what I'm doing. Looking towards many more workouts with Curtis. Great to be part of BREAKTHRUS team. TRAIN DIFFRENT!!!!!!
Clay!!! You have choosen to get healthy with us at Break Thru . This step to get better is something I wish so many more should take! You come to each class and work hard ! I enjoy our conversations and I also enjoy watching you get better! We have just begun our journey together! Let's see what we can do with a little more time!!! Keep showing up!! It's working! Thank you again for the kind words!
Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: Coach Curtis is a really good guy. Creates an amazing atmosphere within his gym. Even though he may have up to 20 other people in the gym he’ll still take some time to work hands on with you. Before , after and even during class he’ll give you a solid evaluation on where your currently at. Overall a great experience for learning and development with your discipline. I’d highly recommend it!!!
Shawn!!! You are a young man and I find you to be very disciplined as a human. You have a good heart and you have a good work ethic. You are truly on your way to be something great to the world. Thank you for your kind words about my approach to teaching and being Hands-On. Each athlete is different and they must be approached differently on the techniques and strategies that we will use to obtain the goals that they set for themselves. Thank you for observing that. I invest into those around me just like they are investing into me. That's the student teacher relationship. Thank you for noting that in this comment. Let's keep doing what we're doing and get better together okay? Thank you again for the kind words!!
Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: Breakthrough Boxing is all about genuine athletic development. Coach Curtis does an amazing job taking your fitness goals and giving you the road map to make them a reality. Boxing and Spartan Training can apply to so many aspects of your life. From sports, to preventing injury, to living healthy, to living longer. I have personally used the boxing classes and fitness classes to get better at baseball and improve my throwing strength and hitting strength. Coach Curtis strikes the perfect balance of being a motivator but also encouraging you to self-motivate yourself. During your workout, you’ll be sure to hear at least one iconic line per session from Coach Curtis. He is the best! I highly recommend BreakThrough Boxing to any and all people!
Tanner!!! We have grown so much together, haven't we?? I truly respect you as an athlete and as a human. You come each class with a ready to go attitude. Thank you for enjoying the way that I teach. When you set a goal to be A better baseball player. That is definitely something that I can help out with. Your strength, your balance, your core strength I've watched improve since you've been coming to the gym. Setting a goal to be the best baseball player out there is something I encourage every athlete that I train to do, whether they're playing baseball or any sport. Thank you so much for your kind words and your perspective about what's going on at our facility. It is greatly appreciated. I hope to keep making strides advancing forward towards all of your goals! You made me laugh when I read. There's always one iconic line that I speak to the classes. What I try to speak is the truth. Being healthy is not an option. You have to be healthy to survive. When we do it with people we care about, it makes it a lot more fun and makes it a lot more enjoyable. Let's keep growing together! Thank you so much for your kind words!
Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: This is one of the best places to train! If you are looking to learn new skills, looking to get stronger or wanting to learn how to box, this is the place to be! I have spent 2 years here and have enjoyed every moment of it. Coach Curtis is one of the best teachers that i have ever had. Coming here has done so much good for my health, my strength and has help me become a better athlete.
Ryan!!! Ohh you know your are one of the biggest success stories we have going at the gym!!! Wow just wow at the man and the athlete you have transformed into in the last 2 years. It was always there! We just had to break it open! Now who knows where to go! Oh it's the top I'm assuming! You are a warrior. We have went through battle together haven't we? The race that we will always remember as the most challenging, yet most revealing about who we truly are. That day you prove yourself to be a true Spartan. And now look what's going on!!! You are on fire!! Keep believing in yourself! There's so much more in there! Thanks for helping me and thanks for letting me coach you!
Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: Coach Curtis has changed my life in ways that I will forever thank him for. I recommend his classes to all my co workers (or anyone who will listen) and explain how beneficial his workouts are. It’s more than exercise, it’s a place that provides mental clarity and emotional release. From the moment you walk in, there is a sense of belonging and support. Thank you Curtis for always pushing me to be better!
Oohhh you already know how special you are to me! You are blessed with neurological traits and coordination. You have a good attitude and you believe in yourself. You are the ultimate athlete. You are smart. You always understand what I'm doing and innately are you able to do it. That's impressive to me and who also all the other people that you train with in the gym. As they say people are probably sleeping on you. But we're not. As you continue to do what you're doing and take this journey with me, we will end up in a place that is so much farther from where we started that you won't even be able to see whoever that other version was you. You will be a better version. The most powerful version of yourself that you can be. Have the heart, You have the brain, You have the right attitude! Now let's just do this together and then tell other people about how they can do it too! You can do anything you set your mind to! Thank you for these kind words. You have also changed me as a coach and I like that! Let's keep doing that! Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: I think this place will surprise you! Unique is an understatement. Having consistent access to this level of expertise is worth more than what you’ll be paying. Rare to encounter coaches that excel in teaching technique who can also easily demonstrate skills given their own fitness level. Individualized feedback gets woven into group classes which are creative and varied, and help identify areas of weakness. Excellent workout for those focused on fat-loss and building overall strength and fitness. I started in April and am already feeling and seeing a difference.
Rebecca!!! I love reading these words! Observation is highly intelligent. When people come in it is my job and my vocation to be the best teacher that I can be to them. When students come in and set goals, it is my job to work with them to obtain them in a smooth orderly fashion. Using my gifts as an athlete and my gifts as a teacher, I hope to share all the knowledge that I've obtained over the last 34 years to increase the skills of those around me. Each person when they're being worked with from a coach deserves the coaches best that's not just in the workouts or at the practices or in the classes that's outside of the environment of teaching. Therefore, when I enter back into the world of teaching, I come with a different perspective and a way to break it down to the simplest form for those around me to achieve the goals that I'm setting with them and teaching them why they're doing it. I appreciate you each time that you come in and you always have a smile on your face. That makes a difference in the environment. Working together is how we are going to all be successful. Thank you for your kind words and you're greatly appreciate it and let's keep doing what we're doing and see what happens!! Thank you so much!!
Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: My son has the outmost respect for Coach, as do I, he is an amazing mentor. This is an amazing gym and, my son John has been w Curtis for almost a year now and has lost 100 lbs, as he lost his father a cpl years prior. I love the relationship that Curtis has w my son, the structure and compassion is all in 1..Thank you, Coach Curtis! Sincerely, John Dellio and Mom..train different!
Oh now you got me about to cry. John is a guy who hasn't realized how special he is yet. I see it in him. As more time goes on it will reveal itself to him. Hopefully we have pointed him in the right direction. watching him grow is why I became a p.e. teacher. He did all that work. he showed himself how strong he could be once he started going after it. That's beautiful to me as a coach. John will forever be welcome wherever I am. he will in the future no longer be a teenage kid walking around. he will be a grown man with a family and talking to me about the old days about how he was 15 at the gym with us. The story is just begun! Congratulations on raising a great kid! Thank you for bringing him to the gym! We appreciate it! Thank you for your kind comments.
Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out at Breakthru Boxing for about 18 months and can’t express enough how positive this experience has been for me. First and foremost, Coach Curtis is a teacher. He will teach you proper form, footwork, and general boxing technique in an environment that is fun and team based. But classes are not limited to boxing technique. Classes also include strength training, balance work, team and partner drills and a variety of activities that are different and challenging. I have gotten stronger, healthier, have better balance and have made so many new friends over the past 18 months. There are classes throughout the day, 6 days per week and every one is run by Coach Curtis. Getting in shape with your friends and having fun doing it is a pretty unusual thing. We “train different” at Breakthru. Check it out. - Terry Smith
Terry!!!! After reading this you put a smile on my face! You are one of our hardest workers! You've really taken on the philosophy that we teach and you demonstrate it in your practices inside and outside of the gym! Movement is the best medication. Doing different things with people that you are having fun with makes you feel good on the inside. One of our goals of our program is to have people feel good while they're moving your bodies! The skills the focus the idea that we're using is something that creates a well-rounded athlete! You are doing an excellent job with us! We look forward to watching you grow even more! Thank you for your kind words! We'll see you at the gym! Train DIFFERENT!Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: Not only is Breakthru Boxing a great way to get into shape, but also a great environment to learn and grow as a team. The sense of community makes you want to do your best every session, with a team of like minded people cheering you on. It’s a place for people from all walks of life. Not only do we learn important boxing skills, we also focus on functional movement that makes us strong and well rounded. Coach Curtis also makes a point to teach the science of why we do what we do and how it is helpful. I first searched for a gym to help prepare me for some long hiking trips at the end of the summer. Breakthru also trains for Spartan Races. Not only do I feel I am making great strides towards my goal, but I feel and look good doing it! I’ve been coming to Breakthru for about 3 months and I've felt significant improvement in my strength and as a pleasant bonus, my mental health. I’d recommend Breakthru Boxing to any and all skill levels as Coach Curtis's classes are adaptive and focus on getting you in your best shape no matter what that looks like. Train Different! :)
Kyra!!! Our mission each day is to get better. After reading what you have wrote, I am truly honored to know that this is how you're feeling about our program, just 3 months into it. Working the mind, the body and the spirit is what we do to advance forward as people and as athletes. Each workout I see you put your best in and you always have a smile on your face. You are a great student and you're a great role model to others as well. Always so welcoming to our new friends And it is truly exactly what our program is asking from our teammates. Being good to other people makes you feel good and it's residual. Setting goals to climb mountains is the same way that we set goals in life. Working at them, taking them seriously and then focusing on what works to get to that goal is the premise of what we are doing. A well-rounded approach to movement with an education in science is how this will last for the rest of people's lives. I'm grateful to have you each day when you've been coming in and I can't wait to hear about your adventures after you have accomplished your goals. Keep doing what you're doing. It's working Thank you so much!!
Coach Curtis

We do intentionally try to make it one of the best and cleanest environments in the 518! You have grown so much as a human with our program! We are so grateful for your time that you've spent there! Thank you for this comment! Enjoy the rest of your day!!!

Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: I’m in Albany temporarily, however, due to the great coaching and training that I’m receiving I’ve decided to stay longer. I want to continue my journey here at BreakThru Boxing w/Coach Curtis to getting fit, staying fit and becoming a better me.
We miss you so much!!! Thank you for giving so much of your effort when you were in the gym! I hope that you take the knowledge that we have experienced together and keep building on it! Thank you so much for your friendship! We appreciate you!!!
Fantastic experience: It was my first visit and it was great. Curtis is the owner and the instructor of all the classes I believe. I did the Power class and it was a fun but intense workout and I learned a lot. Lots of instruction, encouragement and support.
Annie!!!! Your words are greatly appreciated and I am so happy you enjoyed your 1st class with Team Break Thru! Your willingness to work hard was truly something I respect! Each day you come back we will keep learning together and getting better each minute that passes! Thanks again for stopping in!!! Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: Love the vibes here! I started 6 months ago. My chronic knee pain has stopped and my body is stronger. The community is amazing and supportive as well. Thank you, Coach Curtis.
Lisa!!! We strive to have the best community of people at all times working at their best to achieve their best! That is one of our missions! Hope that you're doing well!! Thank you so much for your message! Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: I started coming here less than a month ago and I’m already in love with the classes! Curtis is an amazing teacher, and everyone comes with a positive attitude ready to push eachother to be the best they can be. I would highly recommend trying out a class here no matter what fitness level you are at!
Allison!Thank you so much for your review! Your post truly captures the environment that we have and that we strive for! You are just beginning your journey with us and we can't wait to grow with you! Keep coming in because you're doing a great job!!! Let's see where the journey takes us!! Thank you again!!Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: I found Breakthru by a random google search one day after realizing I had let my 46 year old self go. I was at my highest weight ever and my prescription med list was getting absurd as the middle age, overweight, stressed-from-work maladies began to stack up. After realizing how much I’d let myself go and realizing that I needed a major change, I decided to take a shot and emailed Curtis. Best decision I’ve made in a long time. I’ve been training at Breakthru for 5 months…I’ve dropped 55 pounds so far and gained strength and endurance. More importantly, I’ve met a group of excellent people who are fun to work out with and motivate each other through challenging workouts. Curtis has created an incredibly welcoming environment at the gym; there’s no judgment and everyone wants to help each other out. Breakthru welcomes everyone and works with all ages, shapes, sizes, levels of athleticism, you name it. From former couch potatoes to former college athletes, everyone gets better. The workouts are fast paced, smartly designed, efficient, challenging, and rewarding… they are designed for maximum impact no matter if your goals are weigh loss, strength, movement, or just overall health. I genuinely cannot recommend anything more highly than Breakthru.
Harris!!! These words above truly are heart warming! Our mission is to get people on our community healthy and stronger. The word stated above are exactly the type of message we need to get out to our local community about how health is so important! The environment that you have stated above is what I feel is the most unique about are program. Your hard work and your dedication with a little bit of support and a little bit of guidance will bring you to where you want to go with your goals. You and I are on a mission to get better each and every workout of each and every day! We got to keep going! Thank you so much for these kind words and I hope they inspire others to come and try our program out to get themselves healthy for their families and their friends and to show other people that once they put their mind to something they can do anything. Let's keep going on our goals and see where they take us!! We are super proud to have your support and your friendship! I'll see you at the gym this week!! Thank you again!Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: I started coming here around 6 months ago just for something to do, but after going for a while I became really interested in boxing and wanting to train for a fight. Coach Curtis is one of the best instructors I’ve ever had and teaches me a lot about myself and different skills that I would’ve never been able to learn by myself. I recommend coming in and checking out the place if you’re looking for a great environment with lots of friendly people that have a similar goal and mindset.
Jason,You are a success story in the making my friend! When we first met until now, so many unbelievable changes have occurred within yourself from my perspective. You've gotten stronger, you've become more social, yourself. Confidence has increased and much much more just from going to the gym and trying your best each day. We have started a journey together. In this short time that we spent, I've watched you develop and it's shocking!! You inspire those around you and you give hope to those people to advance their skills like you have through hard work and discipline. Let's keep focusing on our tasks and see where this lands us. I look forward to watching you grow in all areas of your life! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of that growth! Thank you for all the hard work that you put in and all the kind words that you just stated!! I'll see you at the gym this week!!Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: I have absolutely been loving my time here! I have noticed such a positive shift in my physical and mental well being. Coach Curtis is an incredible human who really puts emphasis on becoming stronger and empowered to be the best you can be! couldn’t recommend more!
Liza, We love your energy!!! You bring a smile to each class and your positive vibes are contagious! I appreciate the kind words about our program and about your experience at the gym! We are just getting started on this journey! You will keep growing and growing to be the best version of yourself that you can be through hard work and discipline!!! I can't wait to watch you grow!! Let's keep getting better together!!! Thank you again for the positive comments!! Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: If you're looking for the place to bring your fitness, both mental and physical, to the next level this is the place. Curtis and the entire breakthru boxing team will make you feel at home / part of the team quickly. The social element is really baked into the classes and will help motivate you further than before. I can't reccomend it enough, it has made such a difference in both my own, mental and physical health, that I can assure you if you just sign up you'll thank yourself later.
Conor!!!! We definitely try to bring the mind, body and Spirit to our program! Wellness is our goal! For every member we want them to come have the best experience while they're having fun with friends! That's the way you can truly grow! We appreciate your time and we appreciate this comment! Enjoy the rest of your day!
Fantastic experience: I started at BreakThru Boxing 6 months ago and since starting I feel like I’m building the best version of myself! I can feel myself getting stronger physically and mentally everyday! Coach Curtis truly cares about each and every person that steps through those doors and wants to help you reach your goals and you feel that immediately when joining! The workouts are challenging, fun and coach Curtis does a wonderful job of explaining the why behind each exercise/movement we do. I highly recommend BreakThru for anyone who is on their fitness/health journey and you’ll have a team full of people supporting and encouraging you every step of the way!
Bailey!! This was so nice to read! We truly our best into each workout and we want every member to experience that each time they come in! I hope that you're doing well! Thank you so much for your comment! Train DIFFERENT!!!
Fantastic experience: I really love going here - my skill level (at boxing) and general athleticism have sky rocketed faster than any other gym I've been to, and I've only been going a few months, a few times a week. Curtis is a great coach and designs classes in a way to prevent muscle and mental burnout, every class I attend I'm encouraged to attend another. It's a team atmosphere where you will actually make friends, and I've enjoyed becoming part of the team. I get to laugh and joke while getting a great technical workout-its awesome. Highly recommend coming down for a free class, you'll be hooked.
Jasmine! You are my Tasmanian devil!!!! You have grown so much in our program and I love when I watch you come in and give your 100% each time! I appreciate your kind words and let's keep fighting the good fight together!!! See you soon!
Fantastic experience: Breakthru Boxing has been one of the best gym experiences I had ever had. The owner/coach, Curtis, really puts everything into the gym to make everyday there exciting and innovative. Repetition and boredom aren’t a thing here, and the community that exists is positive and encouraging. Everyone is pushing each other no matter where they are staring. I’ve come so far in strength and conditioning in just a short amount of time with dedication to this gym, and I’m so thankful that I found this place and gave it a shot.
Martina!!Thank you for the kind words about our program! When I read this, I have the chance to reflect about what your skills were when you first came to train with us, versus what they are now! You have had such an increase in your development in so many different forms of movement that overall, you have become so much better at moving your body and staying balanced when you're applying your strength and your skills! I look forward to watching you grow and keep growing and learning about yourself through all the forms of movement that we demonstrate and practice on a daily basis! You've now done 2 of O.C.R. events with Team Break Thru and you were excellent at both performances!! Let's keep working together and see what happens if we keep working hard and staying focused! One of your gifts is consistency and it's great that you have been exercising that and staying disciplined! All those morning workouts have paid off!! Keep doing what you're doing! Thank you again for the kind words! They are much appreciated!Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a family-oriented, high-intensity gym that prioritizes overall health, this is definitely a go-to. Coach Curtis makes sure to make everyone feel very comfortable/welcome and is able to give great one-on-one advice on your fitness goals. After signing up I was able to see not only myself but other people improve their fitness and implement these healthy routines into their day. Great spot!
Casey, Thank you for this review. It truly captures what the Break Thru Boxing and Fitness experience is to our teammates. I hope everyday to help as many people as I can when we're training. I hope that our members are also helping each other out. When I read the words that you have written, I understand that from your perspective that is what is occurring. Having people work together is something I truly believe is a tenement to our program! Keeping everyone accountable is another. Watching your teammates grow around, you encourages you as well to keep doing your best each and every minute that passes. You have grown a lot since you have started and you are just starting your journey! You impress many of your teammates around you with your ability to work hard, not only in your academic setting but also at our building as well. Taking on the task to become a medical doctor and also on our fitness journey allows people to understand a lot about your character! I've watched you make so many changes in the short amount of time that I am motivated to keep helping you grow to see what level and dimension you can truly get to if you put your mind to it! You are a hard worker and that is undeniable! That drive to be the best version of yourself is what's going to carry you along the way as it has already done. Keep believing in yourself and keep working the best that you can and never let anyone tell you that you can't do anything. Stay focused and stay consistent and our program will take you to levels that you didn't even know existed about yourself! Thank you for the kind words and always showing up with a positive attitude and a smile on your face! Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a welcoming and support environment to reach whatever fitness goals you may have, then look no further. Over the last 6 months, I have lost 9.75" off my body with the Breakthru program. I gained confidence, athletic ability, and unwavering support both in and out of the gym from Coach Curtis and the other amazing Breakthru coaches. You will be pushed to be better, because this program sees your potential and helps you develop your skills to surpass that potential. I am excited for my future with Breakthru and encourage you to join me in it :)
Rachel!!! You are a determined Athlete on a mission with a purpose. You have behan to get stronger physically, mentally and spiritually. The more you believe in yourself, the more you will grow! Keep going because it's working!!! Thank you for your review!!!Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: I joined Breakthru with the goal to run one spartan race this summer and to get back into shape after a major surgery. I didn't want a planet fitness, I wanted a gym that trained for a goal. Not only did I get a version of that, but I gained so much more. Things that were far more meaningful than running a race. I've meet a wonderful group of people from all walks of life; each with different goals, backstories, and life experiences. Each one of us have come together to grow, learn off and support each other. These are all people I never would have interacted with otherwise. Even when I am unable to be at a race myself I find my self invested in those I train with and always inspired by what they accomplish. Beyond the people are the workouts themselves. Coach Curtis does a wonderful job making workouts unique, challenging, and fun. It keeps you coming back for more, and also gives you a wonderful visual to see just how far you have come. Everything is so well rounded and you will most likely find yourself working on smaller motor skills you didn't realize you needed nd often ignored. Another great thing with the gym is you can attend any class. So its flexible to a busy work life and exposes you to more types of athletics; such as yoga and boxing. His creative approach also gives us the tools so we can take these workouts home and get something productive in with out spending a lot of money of equipment. This gym has become more than that, but a small family who are all giving their all. training different and making themselves uncomfortable to grow. Now, here I am two Spartan 5ks (one Sprint and one Stadion) and a 10k later, with two more on the docket for the year, knowing I have found not only a new passion but a team of people that are endlessly supportive.
Zio!! Your words are greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to write your experience! We are a team here. Your effort to be better is contagious and by you getting stronger,you also encourage others to do the same! You have now been across the country to complete and compete in races! It's an honor to have u represent our team and our values! Keep proving people wrong! We are excited to watch your development! Train DIFFERENT!Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: For the workout enthusiasts, the workout class are awesome, I like this place from first class, I was lazy and never play any sports but when I got in here coach encourag me to learn a lot of things and new skills. Best place to learn, grow and be empowered
Nour!!! You are a hard worker! This will be something I hope that you can use for the rest of your life! It is never to late to start learning movement! You are intelligent and using your brain to figure out all the movements will be fun for you! Let's build up your skills and get you stronger! You have alot of potential and I am happy to work with you on your journey!! Train DIFFERENT!!!
Fantastic experience: I was looking for a no man or women left behind atmosphere and Break Thru Boxing gives you just that. I've worked out by myself for awhile and I must say being in a group setting helps with my results. If you looking for a fitness family, where attention to detail and proper form is first priority, Break Thru is the place for you. Keosha E.
Keosha!!!! Man I was waiting a long time to finally meet up with you! I'm so happy when you were ready, you reached out to Break Thru! As we just finished the class I walked away impressed by your ability to learn while working with a teammate. We have just started this journey but I feel you will be extremely successful at capturing your goals! Keep showing up!! I'm happy and honored to have you! Train DIFFERENT!!
Fantastic experience: BreakThru Boxing is more than just another boxing program, it's a community of like minded individuals coming together with the shared objective of bettering oneself. Lead by owner Curtis Groff, BreakThru Boxing is a place where folks of any age, size or skill can come without the overwhelming feeling of "gymtimidation" as he facilitates the needs of all. Although named BreakThru Boxing, it is so much note than coming in and punching a bag as the classes themselves vary from Boxing & strength/conditioning to learning movement & defense through skills and drills. A sponsor of the 2022 Viking Obstacle Course, BreakThru Boxing is also the home to an ever growing Obstacle Course Racing Team which consists of dozens of members who not only train together but break bread together too. We're more than an athletic team at BreakThru Boxing...we're a community...a family. And I know first-hand, as I've known Curtis since before the creation of BreakThru Boxing and have lost over 70 lbs since starting my fitness journey with him. If you are looking to become a healthier version of yourself, and/or are looking to join a community full of love & support, then look no further. BreakThru Boxing, and its many ambitious members, will become your home away from home. -AR
Alex,You truly have been an excellent example of what happens when a human begins to discover their potential. To say you have grown is an understatement. Words can't describe what I have watched you accomplish. These words truly capture what we do at Team Break Thru. You have developed your mind, body and spirit. The best part is, you are just getting started I believe. Keep finding yourself! Thank you for being a friend and you truly are family to me! Thank you again!Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: I was Coach Curtis’s pizza delivery guy, and he saw the potential I had and invited me to his gym. It’s a gym that really cares about you and isn’t just trying to make a quick $. The coaches help you work through your weaknesses both physically and mentally. Every class is more than just a workout, you grow in character and spirit. It’s a great gym!
Ben!!You are a great Athlete! Having meet you while you are still starting your development is a true honor. You have started to discover how strong you are. Keep coming back to see how far we can take this! We appreciate your support and your kind words! Thank you!Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: Coach Curtis and Coach Tara are amazing! I have been searching for a gym like this for years! When you are there, it’s not just a gym, it’s a team. It’s an inclusive, positive and inspiring environment!
Amber,You have just started your journey with Team Break Thru and WE are ecstatic about it! Your feelings that you have shared is one of our missions at Break Thru. The environment is so special because of all of our members. I look forward to watching you grow and achieve your goals! Thank you for your review!!Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: From the first day we spoke on the phone I new coach Curtis had a great vibe and energy so I signed myself up. Been like a family ever since, learned a lot of new things and made a lot of new friends as well. If your located in the Albany area this place is a must.
Ricky!!!My man!!! You have so much potential! I love watching you get better at the skill we both love. You are a great father and you are teaching your family how to be healthy! I look forward to witnessing your over all development!! Thank you for the words you have stated, they mean a lot to me! See you at the gym soon!Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: Bring a towel, you're going to work up a sweat.
Kay! You and I have been training together for many moons! Your willingness to seek out multiple forms of martial arts and combat sports is a bond we share! Not many explore the martial way and understand the journey! Keep finding out more about yourself through movement! I enjoy teaching you how to Train Different!!! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: this place is amazing they always help me to achieve my goals.
Sadie!!! Thanks for stating we are amazing! You are pretty amazing yourself! You always have a smile on your face! You make sure you work your hardest! You were always talking to all of our teammates! Those things my friend are great qualities to have! Keep finding more out about yourself through our workouts! There's so much more that you have not even remotely discovered yet! I look forward to watching you grow!Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: I was searching for a particular gym/fitness center atmosphere when I came across BreakThru Boxing. I have to say they have exceeded my expectations. Coach Curtis is a positive, experienced trainer who genuinely cares about the people who enter his facility and coaches with the same enthusiasm and passion he exudes. I am so glad I have found this place as I don’t get the generic herd feeling if the big box gyms. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for different and in my opinion much better ways to obtain their fitness goals. Thanks Coach Curtis and team! #traindifferent
Ami!!! Your kind words are greatly appreciated! We work hard to offer an environment full of learning and support. You are a person on a mission to get better, so why not team up with others who are as well! I enjoy your positive attitude! This will be your key to success! You got this! Let's see what we can do! Keep up all your hard work! You can bet that it will pay off! Train DIFFERENT!Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: I went to BreakThru Boxing just for a free class, from another “similar” type of gym.. I wanted something different but with some of the same components/classes. The gym I came from was absolutely fine but I was missing something.. WELL I FOUND IT! It was missing COACH CURTIS! He is absolutely phenomenal and it’s because he genuinely cares about every single human that walks through his doors.. and I got this from ONE FREE SESSION. Let me tell you something, some of the equipment maybe the same but it is NOTHING like where I came from and nothing that’s out there. The way coach Curtis chooses to add education into his classes and takes his time trying to mold you is everything. Not to mention the energy is out of this world, I love it! BreakThru has made a new family member of me!
Holy Smokes!!! That statement is truly rewarding to read. Team Break Thru is honored to have you join US! From our conversation on the phone, I knew you were made to be where I teach each day. Your spirit was high and your determination was clearly evident. We like that at my place! I am honored to have you say these kind words about what I do each day. So thank you. That feeling that you are feeling is the feeling that everyone should feel everyday about being active! It's a lifestyle! Let's see where this road takes us! See you at the gym!Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: I found Coach Curtis at a health and fitness expo held at siena college a few years ago. I really wanted to learn how to climb a rope for a Spartan race and he offered to teach me. My friend Lynn and I have been training with him ever since on Saturday’s. What a great guy! He offers such fun workouts and keeps us entertained while we do them. He is very knowledgeable in all areas of fitness, especially boxing and offers training for races like the Spartan, which is something you can’t find anyplace else! I always look forward to our Saturday sessions!
My friend we have been working hard together since day 1! I truly enjoy your desire to be the best version of yourself that you can be. Keep up all the hard work! I can't wait till you're honest a starting line next to me about to begin a race! The time is coming soon!! Thank you again for your kind words!Coach Curtis
Fantastic experience: To be honest I was skeptical, I had never really done classes with others after being a full time athlete both in high school and college. I had previously been grinding pretty hard on my own and sort of hit a plateau so I decided to do something different! Train different if you will!! The environment is so welcoming and everyone is always there pushing one another up! Both Curtis and Tara are very kind people with great souls! They spread their passion to others, and encourage you to give your best each and every time. I can push myself to my limits on my own but they encourage you to push a little further, further than you think you can go and it yields results, I see it in myself and those around me. It is a place where your confidence can grow not only physically, but mentally. After all working out really is all about the mind, as Curtis will also indulge on in classes as well. If you’re looking to better yourself both physically and mentally, and to grow a whole extra family of people who care and want the best for you, I encourage you to check this place out!
Fantastic experience: The BreakThru Boxing fitness experience is like no other! Coach Curtis utilizes so many properties of movement to challenge you both physically and mentally. I was able to lose 67 lbs in 7 months using the methods Coach Curtis created.
Fantastic experience: I am beyond grateful for Curtis and Break thru Boxing . I am not only working on being physically stronger but mentally as well. The support that I am given is immeasurable. If you need a place to be yourself , to work through challenges and become your best self then come here to BTB , you won’t regret it . Also if you want to meet a really great bunch of people and have that family feeling …. This is it look no further . Curtis cares for each one of us . He treats us so much better then being a member or a client . He believes in each and every person he coaches . I did a Spartan this year with Curtis and the team … A Spartan …. Makes me cry still thinking about it .. At BTB you learn to believe in yourself, because you are so much more. It is not just about the physical appearance , it’s about how you feel inside and out . You can be real here , there are no gimmicks or tanning beds , there is the option of hard work, believe in yourself and finding out you are a Warrior !!! Are you ready to fight for yourself ???
Jen your description of what you experience at Break Thru Boxing is so inspiring to read. I hope the person out there who googled us to find out about what we represent reads your thoughts and your testimony. They are truly moving. I told you from day one I believed in you because I will always see the best in you. In case your forgot.... YOU ARE A SPARTAN! I knew it once I had seen you flip that tire for the 1st time ! Keep fighting for yourself, you are worth it. I hope to do this with you til we are told we are to old to do it! You will forever be my family. Thank you for allowing me to Coach you and your family. It is a great honor . Train DIFFERENT!
Fantastic experience: Coach Curtis is amazing and will help you with any of your fitness goals.
Matt!!! Miss ya big guy! Thank you for being there in the beginning of all this! Thank you for always supporting me. I truly look at you as such a great fighter and not to mention an amazing human! Keep doing good out there!! Train DIFFERENT!!
Fantastic experience: I came to BreakThru Boxing 6 months ago, eager to continue my boxing practice and learn from a new coach. What I found was a community of people who are kind, supportive, and all there with the goal of lifelong learning and self-improvement. Coach Curtis is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of movement, but especially martial arts. I have strengthened so many boxing and kickboxing skills, and have learned even more new ones, since I’ve started training with him. With his guidance and support, I can see myself getting better, stronger, and more confident in my practice with every class. His pedagogy is effective, and as long as you keep showing up for yourself it sets you up for guaranteed success no matter what your personal goals are at the gym. I can’t thank Coach Curtis enough for always pushing me out of my comfort zone, challenging me, encouraging me, and making me a better version of myself — physically and mentally.
These kind words are what all teachers strive to have their students feel about learning. Your dedication you show to your Art is what a true martial artist must possess. The work and the credit for all your success is only occuring because your cup is not full. Keep using your determination to fuel your journey to excellence! Thank you for honesty and we greatly appreciate your hard work!! Train DIFFERENT!!
Fantastic experience: Very welcoming and Friendly place. Everyone who trains there is very supportive and make you feel like family. Coach Curtis knows his stuff and help you reach your goals. You’ll definitely see results quick, been going for over a month now and I already see result and been feeling good about myself. Definitely would recommend Break Thru Boxing to people because you will love your experience there and get what you’re looking for health and strength wise.
HUGGGS!!! I have so much hope for you as we start this journey together! There will be good days and there will be challenging days! We can get thru both types of we focus and stay determined! Keep showing up sir, the show has just started!! YOU GOT THIS!!!
Fantastic experience: I started working with Breakthru Boxing at the end of February of this year. This a different experience compared to the large franchise/chain gyms. Curtis and his team of coaches will actually take time and walk you through drills step by step and will talk you through the benefit of each move compared to the other gyms where you find yourself winging it and hope it works. You can book individual sessions or join a plethora of different classes. The theme is the same for each class: we all work together as a team and encourage one another while training VERY different! If you want to be serious about getting in shape- check out Breakthru Take it from someone who has tried multiple gyms just to find myself going only a few times a month. The environment and intimate classes make it feel like you are almost getting a one on one session and you actually enjoy going. I go almost everyday because I actually ENJOY going to a gym now. You won’t regret it.
The summary of our program through your statement is what our goal is for every member of our team to experience in each class. We appreciate your kind words and truly are grateful to have state this about what we create each and every day! You work hard and always have a smile on your face! Keep working hard at your goals and pushing yourself to be a better you! Train Different!
Fantastic experience: Best family fitness environment in the 518!!!
That’s exactly what we strive for! Thank you for choosing us to assist in providing a fun, family oriented gym to help reach your health and fitness goals while bonding with your loved ones! Train different
Fantastic experience: This is a gym that your whole family will enjoy I hav been searching for a gym that would be suitable and affordable,Curtis is one of a kind he is our kinda of trainer I highly recommend BreakThru Boxing and Fitness.
Thank you for that thoughtful statement. It has been a pleasure working with you and your family! We look forward to assisting you in reaching all of your fitness goals!
Fantastic experience: My experience with breakthru boxing has been a life changing! It’s challenging and everyone supports each other. Coach Curtis teaching is perfection he works with you. Give you positive support always!!! I can’t see my life without this boxing gym!!! Wonderful experience!!!
Wow Michele, you don’t even realize how much that makes my heart smile. Your skills have grown so much since we have began our time working together. Your determination is remarkable. You have grown so much as an athlete and also as a person with our program. I greatly appreciate the words that you have stated above about our team. Keep Training Different with us and we’ll see where the future takes us. Keep studying!
Fantastic experience: Want to get in shape and are struggling to do it on your own? Join Curtis and Tara at Breakthru Boxing . After 4 mos. of this intense coaching and encouragement I have become a healthier 54 year old. There is much to be said about personal training - Better balance, more endurance, and mental determination have been added to my arsenal - Thanks Curtis and Tara
Mike when you describe your progress outside of our gym that is what is truly remarkable to me. You have told me about personal developments that you have felt in regards to your health and your safety on your motorcycle! We have seen an increase in your coordination and your balance!Keep working hard and getting up early. That shows you have discipline and determination! Train Different!
Fantastic experience: Hands down best workout and the most fun you’ll have doing it!!
Dawn!!! Thank you so much! We aim to have an environment that is FUN!!! The Break Thru team loves having you with us! Thank you for your kind words! We will keep challenging YOU to provide the BEST workout in the 518! Train DIFFERENT!
Fantastic experience: Coach Curtis will help you transform your life. Began my journey 2.50 years ago and haven't looked back. I was in the worst shape of my life. Now, at 52 I physically can do things I never believed were possible. You'll work tremendously hard but Curtis will support you 100% of the time and you will receive excellent results. I can't recommend BreakThru Boxing & Fitness enough. You won't be sorry!!
Bridget!! I have enjoyed watching your motor skills development and you become enthusiastic about learning movement! We will always remember how challenging some of our experiences were in the beginning of our journey together. But that truly allows us to see where we are and how much time and energy we have spent at getting better as people and as friends. I love our conversations and enjoy my time with you each week. Thank you for choosing me to be one of the leaders that have lead you on your journey. Let’s keep going and see where we can go. Can’t wait to see you at the gym this week to continue our journey together. Thank you for your kind words and keep training different!
Fantastic experience: I specifically joined Breakthru Boxing six months ago for their Spartan training classes. I went in expecting obstacle course training and found so much more. Not only do they provide a multitude of classes to cater to all types of fitness (you won’t find just boxing here) I found a fitness family that is extremely well rounded and uses a holistic approach to health - incorporating both the physical and mental attributes of health while cultivating a supportive environment that helps everyone reach their goals. This gym isn’t for everyone, but if you’re serious about becoming a better version of yourself and supporting others while you do it - then this gym is for you.
Shannon!! The words stated above indicate to me that you are truly cultivating a better version of yourself! You have mentioned so many gracious words about what Break Thru offers each member of our team and we appreciate each one of them. It’s an honor and a privilege to work with you and your husband! Thank you for giving us a positive review! We can’t wait to continue to grow with your family! Train Different
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Curtis since 2018. As a collegiate athlete, Curtis has helped me reach my athletic goals through opening my eyes to new methods of training within boxing, calisthenics, and speed/agility work. Not only has Curtis helped me achieve my physical goals, but has also improved my mental fitness. Curtis is the real deal and takes care of all his clients, catering his workouts to each individual’s specific goals. I can confidently say that I am a more well-rounded, multifaceted athlete after training with Curtis.
As a Coach, this has probably been one of the most genuine statements I’ve ever read about the progress that I’ve shared with someone. You have grown in so many ways, not just as an athlete but as a student as well. I look forward to watching you develop into a professional person. You are a college athlete that maintains a very high GPA. Those two statements alone represents so much. Keep building and growing on your movement skills and realize that movement is infinite. This is the beginning of your journey! Explore movements and discover your passions! Train Different!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Coach Curtis and BreakThru boxing for the last 10 months and my life has changed in many ways since, not just my weight! The programs that are available are unlike any that you can find in the 518, the workouts are never the same and always push you to get better each day. Also the other members of the gym were very welcoming and supportive since day 1! I was looking for a program to take me to the next level and BreakThru got me there! I would absolutely recommend joining if you want to make a positive change in your life!!
Dave!! You are truly a success story in the making! Your progress combined with your determination is why you are experiencing so much success! We support you and believe in you!! Keep getting better and stronger. Thanks for choosing Team Break Thru to help guide you on your never ending journey to be the best you that you can be! Train Different!!
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to train and gain strength. Curtis and Tara committed to helping you succeed
Thank you Janet! It’s been a pleasure working with you!!
Fantastic experience: August is almost here.....summer bodies are made in the winter......what drives you to workout?......keep pushing your limits........ Just a few of the little daily reminders we hear at BreakThru Boxing. If you want to see results, push yourself to limits not found, then push some more then come see Coach Curtis and the staff to welcome you to a lifestyle designed to support you mentally and physically.
Mary! You have been at the gym a lot in the past year! We are proud of the discipline you have demonstrated. You are always trying to seek better ways to reach your goals. You remain focused and you work hard. I believe you have made a lot of progress towards your goals in the last year. We are happy to be a part of your journey. Your words are truly amazing about our program.Thank you!
Fantastic experience: It's been a few years since I've worked out and was admittedly a little nervous to do HIIT style workouts, but Curtis at Breakthru made me feel very welcome and took time to build a personal connection with me and really understand my goals. My first boxing HIIT workout was fantastic. It was tough but I've never felt better. Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is not intimidating at all. I would highly recommend it to anyone that's tired of just pacing around the gym and not feeling exhilarated or excited to workout.
Richard from your first performance with us I was impressed. I’m happy that you chose us as the method to get yourself better. Let’s keep training different and see where the road takes us! See you at the gym!
Fantastic experience: Just joined this gym and man do I regret not joining earlier! Everybody is so nice and encouraging, it’s a great environment to grow physically, mentally and emotionally. Best boxing gym in the area.
We love this review so much!! We wished you had came sooner as well. You are truly appreciated and we hope to inspire all of our members to be better physically, mentally, and emotionally! Keepattending our classes and growing in multiple domains to get to the best you that you can be. Thanks again for your review! Train Different!
Fantastic experience: Coach Curtis and the BreakThru Boxing team are great. I have been training with Curtis for 10 months now and I have seen such improvement in myself both physically and mentally. Coach Curtis is the best come Train Different!
We appreciate those kind words! Keep training different
Fantastic experience: Coach Curtis and his BreakThru program have truly changed my life. In 2020, I was overwhelmed, exhausted and struggling with being overweight. I couldn't lose anything in spite of distance running, working out, tracking calories etc. I hit a breaking point and called Coach Curtis (whom I saw through FB ads). I had a little money set aside and decided to use it to train with him and see if I could address my weight. There were many hard times, many early mornings, a lot of hard work, tears, mistakes and encouragement, a reminder of my goals, accountability, friendship, and a coach who was able to get to the ROOT CAUSE of why I wasn't successful on my own. One year later, I've lost a total of 40 lbs, I've gained significant physical strength and athletic skills, and I've become a fitness trainer. I'm also doing things in my life I would NEVER have considered 12 months ago - like running for Mayor of Albany, NY. I would **never** have had the personal confidence to follow this dream of mine if, a year ago, I had not reached out to Coach Curtis for help. I thought I just wanted to lose weight. Turns out...? I got a "BreakThru"! Imagine where you could be??
Alicia you are a hard worker. You came in with a set of goals and you chase them down till you’re at the point where you are now. The growth has been tremendous and it is amazing to watch someone grow in so many ways as a coach. Keep aspiring to be the best version of yourself that you can be and keep being a leader in your community! Thank you for the kind words and allowing us to integrate into your lives. Keep training different and working hard!
Fantastic experience: I came to BreakThrough boxing and fitness about 8 months ago, with my mom, and it has honestly changed mine and hers life. Coach Curtis and Coach Tara are amazing at creating a comfortable place for people to grow and get better. Each workout incorporates different types of movements and styles that always have me trying different things!!! I cannot be more appreciative to have Breakthrough as a safe space for me.
Payton thank you so much for the kind words we truly appreciate you being there. You have become a part of our breakthrough family and we look forward to your continued growth. Keep training different and believing in yourself! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: BreakThru Boxing & Fitness is unlike any other gym I've ever trained at. It's much more than a gym. It's a team, it's a family, it's a group of people from all walks of life with a common goal. To help each other become better and stronger. The coaches at BreakThru aren't like trainers at one of those franchise gyms. They actually want to know who you are, why you're there, and how they can help you achieve your goals. The classes are fun, yet still challenging for all skill levels. If you're looking for a cookie cutter gym where you can sit at a machine, watch TV, and take it easy for 20-30 mins a week... This is not the place for you! But, If you're looking for a place that will help you smash your goals and push you both physically and mentally, then maybe you're ready to Train Different!
Billy!!Your summary of our program is truly amazing. You are a team player. We have watched you grow and we are pleased as you pass each phase throughout your development. These words you have stated I hope more people will read. It truly captures what our mission is each day. We love helping people get stronger and feel better about themselves! Let’s keep training different and see where we go as a team! Your words are very much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: All the classes are a full body workout with emphasis on mental and physical strengthening as well as balance and health and longevity. Where your mind goes your body follows… keep moving! Thank you for your endless support, encouragement and creating a space for people to feel free to be themselves and seek a better Self! Awesome gym family
Lenny we enjoy having you at our gym. Your presence is always joyful and we enjoy laughing with you. Thank you for excepting our challenges! It’s great to watch you develop! We look forward to what the future holds for you using our method of training! Train DIFFERENT!
