Well Effect - Lifestyle Health, Fitness and Physical Therapy: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I went to TWE until I moved house, for about 1.5 years from when they opened. They are a personal service outfit not a megacorp gym, and the difference shows. The instructors are excellent, taking a holistic view of your overall 'wellness'. For me, this included exercise, diet, posture, and stretching. The end result is that I've lost a lot of pounds (I am the lightest I've been since my wife of 30 years has known me!) and am in great shape (if I do say so myself :-). I highly recommend them, particularly if, like me, you've tried and failed before to get into great shape.
Fantastic experience: I came to Well Effect almost a year ago and was introduced to John. I have a lower back problem and was in terrible pain. I tried everything, and nothing worked! I started my Soma Science (whole body approach, not traditional PT) treatment and my pain was significantly reduced after only a few treatments. Soma therapy has changed my life, after months of being unable to drive, was basically house bound and desperate to find a solution. It was a miracle for me and I would highly recommend giving it a try if you are struggling with any type of body discomfort or pain. John and his team are truly special! Ron Rudowsky
Fantastic experience: I saw Alex and Seyla for pain in my left leg because of a pinched nerve. They diagnosed my problem, worked with me on different exercises and now I feel like my old self. I looked forward to my sessions with them. Both have a very warm personality.
Fantastic experience: I was having issues with my back, hip and leg. I went and saw my orthopedic surgeon. He told me to start with physical therapy and if that didn’t work we would go on to the next step. My wife saw the reviews about well Effect. I made a appointment with back in September. Today Dec 6 was my last day. I went from walking with a limp and pain to walking normal again without pain . I want to say that working with teylor and Kara was a great experience. They were so professional and very knowledgeable. I really enjoyed my experience with well affect.
Great to hear Gary, You got fantastic coaching from our Team and put in the hard work and got great results. Keep doing your homework to stay out of trouble. Thank you for giving us a try. Please tell your friends! John Jamesapollos
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Well Effect. For a number of years my activities have been hampered by nagging injuries, aches and pains as well as gradually increased weight. In early 2020, I started the 6 month Lifestyle Health and Fitness program at Well Effect with the goal of reducing knee pain and getting in shape for a long hike scheduled in May. Because of the pandemic, the hike never happened, but twice a week March through September, I attended guided hourly physical training and coaching sessions with various members of their Team of Specialists with great results. Starting out, I wasn’t sure how long I would stick with it, but gradual steady improvements surpassed all expectations and motivated me to return weekly. I met other people in their program that were similarly situated with aches and pains and discovered this custom program was working for all kinds of people and their individual issues. My ongoing knee pain was resolved early on with simple exercises. Beyond that I improved my posture, balance, strength and mobility through targeted, gently progressive, strainfree exercises, guided by Specialists at the Center initially, as well as self-guided with 15 minute target home exercises. Unexpectedly, during this same timeframe, I was gently coached around eating habits and shed fifteen pounds somewhat effortlessly by following straightforward guidelines about serving sizes, the sources of calories, and timing of meals/mini meals. There is something magical about this program. The improvements happened without all the suffering and strain usually associated with body conditioning and weight loss. John Jamesapollos and his experienced team of specially trained Soma Science Specialists who are also physical therapists confidently guided me step by step, sometimes slowing to address some new issue I brought in, but generally moving in a steady, positive direction. They are encouraging without being zealots. They are open and curious. They listen well and use metrics for tracking. They respond with expertise and individualized, personal care. They are smart people. The Center is well designed, open and clean with bright windows and plenty of personal space. It is calm and quiet. No music blaring or instructors barking as a way to motivate their clients. Many times I was scheduled as the only client there for maximum safety during the pandemic. There is even a swimming pool with currents and a certified kitchen for classes once those can begin. The Specialists now offer daily live zoom classes as thirty-minute, focused sessions to maintain body balance and general conditioning. I love how these are conveniently spaced throughout the day and week and provide motivation and exercise continuity when I’m not going into the Center. My experience with Well Effect has been a lasting highlight of 2020 and the best decision I could have made. I am so grateful to John, Kara, Seyla and Andrea for their care. If you have read this far you should go and see them. I want to encourage you to make your next 6 months an effective, lasting, and sustainable highlight for yourself as the past 6 months have been for me!

Hi Fan, You made some subtle, yet oh so effective changes, to completely change the trajectory of your life. You took our expert guidance and accountability and you did all the hard work to a great sustainable success. Have a great 2021 and go climb a mountain! John Jamesapollos
Fantastic experience: Amazing team of great physical therapists!
Thanks Carolyn. You've been working hard to get past your injuries. Now we can start on a complete Whole Body - Lifestyle Health and Fitness Plan to make sure those issues don't return. Thank you so much! John
Fantastic experience: I came to Well Effect 2 years after a double knee replacement to fine tune and strengthen my knees and to lose weight. 2 Months into the process, I am completely sold. John, Kara, Seyla and Andrea are amazing. Their knowledge is never ending. Last week, I pointed out problems with my toes and their advice was terrific.Well Effect is a well oiled machine of knowledge, caring, machines and safety. I would recommend it to anyone with a severe pain problem to those who just want to be and feel "better".
Hey Lucy, Thank you so much! With your great feedback at each of your sessions and diligence with our unique whole body approach, your two sessions per week is making amazing progress! Great job.
Fantastic experience: When I started at Well Effect a year ago I had been diagnosed with lower back bulging discs and sciatica. My chiropractor indicated that my situation was very serious but did not give me any hope of being able to help me. The staff at Well Effect believed that I would get better from the very beginning. My treatment course was not always easy but the staff were encouraging and made sure that I had the support that I needed. My pain and mobility are significantly better now and I’m grateful for all the help and expert guidance I have received from John, Kara and Seyla. I continue to exercise regularly on the equipment that is designed to protect backs and meet individually to keep up my progress. If you are in pain, don't give up, give Well Effect a try !!
Fantastic experience: All staff members at Well Effect are highly skilled, supportive and encouraging, and care about their clients. I started attending for physical therapy, but now use WellEffect for all my exercise needs as well as my PT sessions. The facility has a wide range of machines and props for all types of workouts. All PT is one-on-one with a therapist and includes lots of hands on time.
Thank you Boo! It has been great to see your move your goals forward!
Fantastic experience: Last August I had a back disc injury that left me unable to walk and re-calibrated what a 10 is on the pain scale. After two weeks at a rehab facility and a few more at home it was time to find an out-patient PT group to get me fully functional again. I "walked" in the first time using a walker. The experience has been extremely positive and valuable. My journey is certainly not over, but I'm active again and continue to get stronger, take long walks, etc. John, Kara, and Seyla all bring some unique perspectives to the care. Working with them and never getting pushed off to an assistant is great. They get to know you very well. They know how far to push and when you're ready for more. The facility is well equipped, better than any other PT centers I visited. Whether you suffered an acute injury like I did or are dealing with something chronic, I'd highly recommend them.
Thank you Kevin, It has been incredible seeing you work through such a challenging time.
Fantastic experience: Thank you to Kara, Seyla and John at Well Effect for getting me back on my bike! My sprained ankle hadn't healed enough and wasn't reacting well to my summer rides. I went to Well Effect for physical therapy, as prescribed by my doctor. John helped me navigate the health care system for the referral I needed and Kara and Seyla took care of my aching ankle. They started me off in the pool, a wonderful tool at their disposal, and great way to ease me back into activity without stressing my ankle. We progressed from there, with creative approaches to exercise in the studio and at home. I was dismissed from continued visits with home exercises only after they put me through some rigors to be sure my ankle was handling it to their satisfaction. Thank you again!
Fantastic experience: Well Effect has changed my life. I had chronic back pain every time I would get out of the car. With John, Kara and Seylas' guidance and expertise, I have learned how to manage to be pain free with stretches, exercise and strength training. The Well Effect team has helped me feel fit, healthy and stronger.
Fantastic experience: I attended Well Effect for physical therapy for my knee. They now have me back running again and enjoying basic daily activities. John, Kara and Seyla were fantastic to work with. I would highly recommend Well Effect if you are in need of PT. Their facility is also clean and in a great location.
Fantastic experience: Sincere and honest staff who offer advice from a holistic perspective. I went for physical therapy assistance and nutritional support and am constantly surprised by things that come unraveled through my body as change occurs. The staff at Welleffect are superb in offering assistance when needed. I highly recommend this if you are open and interested in changing your workout experience.
Fantastic experience: I feel so lucky to have connected with Well Effect when I wanted to seek help with my low-grade chronic back pain. The staff are personable, friendly, transparent, and knowledgeable. The gym has awesome equipment that I haven't found elsewhere such as the treadwalls and the indoor pool. On top of that, they have nice private showers and bathrooms that allow me to clean up and continue onto work right after my workout. But really the main reason I'll by continuing to work with Well Effect is that the staff know me personally and have gone out of their way (including working with me outside of normal business hours) to ensure that I can overcome hurdles and keep me on track to full recovery. I meet twice a week with a staff member and usually we have a routine we follow, but the staff are able to switch up the routine if I have a different pain or another concern. Recently, I had a headache and the staff member was able to drastically reduce the headache pain within ten minutes and then follow-up with techniques to help on my own. I'm about six months into working with Well Effect and I'm excited to continue watching as I progress with them.
Fantastic experience: Just what I needed! Making life changes fun and exciting!
Fantastic experience: Getting in shape and living a healthy lifestyle is something that CAN be done on your own, but thanks to the "A-Team" at Well Effect, I now have a far greater understanding of what's actually going on "under the hood" in my body, thus I'm so incredibly more effective at reaching my goals. Even when you hit a bump in the road, the Well Effect staff has the insight and knowledge to explain first what happened, and then, how you can continue to move forward. If you need a change, Well Effect WILL change you, and yes, for the better. This is really a top notch establishment!
Fantastic experience: The team approach that Well Effect uses is very effective. They work together but everyone has a slightly different approach so you get the benefits of having multiple people working on your behalf to help you. The staff is all highly trained with advanced degrees. They are attentive and always want to know how you are feeling. They are naturally curious and work towards finding the cause and fixing it, not just treating the symptoms. They also explain what they are doing and educate you on how to help prevent it in the first place. What I like best is they seem to have the secret sauce in figuring out which small changes you need to make in terms of nutrition and exercises to have the largest possible positive impact.
Fantastic experience: Just what I needed! Making life changes fun and exciting!
Fantastic experience: My husband, daughter and I have been long time clients. Each of us has battled different issues, from weight management to injuries to an evolving appreciation of what our bodies are capable of becoming. I did not begin this journey thinking I needed support about my diet nor did I give much attention to the importance of protecting my back, but John and his staff have brought in a multi-dimensional approach to my care (and that of my family). Because of their support and philosophy, the original notion that exercise was the simple response to a healthier life has expanded, and I expect my appreciation of all the components of my health (diet, exercise, pain management, sleep, etc.) to continue expanding as my relationship with Well Effect continues.
Fantastic experience: John has helped me with my shoulder pain and my daughter with her knee pain. The exercises he gave us to do have worked so well. I can't thank him enough!
Fantastic experience: Came to WE with a herniated disc. In 5 months they had not only treated my back where I could ride my bike again, but also instilled some best practice nutrition plans for me to follow as well. Today I'm well past my back being healed but I still go to WE because of the quality of the staff. They know you and your issues intimately. You never have to explain what hurts and where- they study all their clients and confer with one another. There's no place better to 'be well'!
Fantastic experience: John, Kara, Travis, and Seyla have helped me to think in terms of total wellness. In addition to relieving my shoulder and knee pain, I am learning new ways to eat healthy, sleep well, and improve my posture. It’s a whole new approach to healthy living, with extremely qualified and caring therapists. Thank you Well Effect! Elaine Conway
Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about this place and the physical therapists who work here. I had been through PT twice over a 2 year period before I got to them- I hadn't gotten much better, I was still in pain, and I had been told there was nothing more I could do for my right shoulder- so I was desperate and feeling really discouraged. I mostly saw Kara whom I loved- she took her time evaluating me and she was the first PT who really listened to me. She was very accessible to answer questions and she went out of her way to reach out to me several times just to check in. If the schedule was packed 1 week they would still find a way to fit me in rather than having to wait a week or more to follow up. If Kara wasn't available, I would see the other therapists there who are also really good. I appreciated always getting to work directly with the therapists- there are no assistants. After about 2.5 months my shoulder is almost 100% better. They literally gave me my life back and I am forever grateful. From my perspective as both a patient and a healthcare provider, they far exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: John and his very-well trained staff are wizards! They understand how to get a body back into alignment and functioning at 100%. I have gone in several times over the years with muscle injuries and issues. Each time, through a series of sessions, they have been able to not only take away the pain but increase my range of movement and get me back out into the world with the ability to do all I want to do. I recommend Well Effect to everyone to get well, be well and stay well.
Fantastic experience: Just prior to having the 3rd surgery on my left knee, I found out about Well Effect from a friend. I went through their full program following surgery. It's such a simple program, and was exactly what I'm looking for. You learn to eat just like you should when you're already at your target fitness level and weight, which makes it routine by the time you get to your goal. I committed to 6 months of their fitness, flexibility, and nutrition plan, and by then I was already doing better than I had been in years. I decided to stick with it, and kept going. Within another 6 months I was in the best shape of my life, and enjoying playing my sports of volleyball and tennis without limitations or pain. Now it's been 2 1/2 years. I still go there twice a week to do a 45 minute workout, and I've even added baseball to my activities. I look and feel great. I hope that they can spread their message and program, and help get so many more Americans get on their way to health and a vibrant lifestyle.
Fantastic experience: I lucked into the Well Effect about six years ago. I was in chronic pain & weakness from a ruptured disc, plus age was slowing me down. After only the third session, I started noticing big changes. Pretty soon I felt better than I had in 30 years and continue to feel that way. I was able to return to physical activities (kayaking, snowblowing, digging and moving stuff around) with no more back pain... plus I lost weight without trying too hard or depriving myself. All that was achieved with a very small but consistent commitment of time each week, because these people know what they're doing and are really careful and good at it. When I read this, it looks too good to be true or just a fluke. But it is true, and they've helped friends I've brought there in the same way.
Fantastic experience: John, Kara and the team have been fantastic to work with! They take a totally individualized and challenging-yet-encouraging approach to body transformation, healthy lifestyle changes, and address specific injuries/issues! Thanks to them for great changes in my life!
Fantastic experience: Following a friends recommendation I went here after years of off and on PT for a nagging 30 year old injury. Staff is much more attentive, detail oriented, and competent than any of the previous places I've been.
