Fit From The Ground Up

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to this gym for almost two years already and have to say there’s a reason why I haven’t left! I first started coming to Christine for personal training but loved my experience there so much I continued my training through her classes she offers. I love that she pushes me to challenge myself while also being very supportive. I even got my mom to start coming with me too and she enjoys it just as much as I do. Highly recommend Christine if you’re interested in personal training and the strength training classes she offers!

Fantastic experience: I would definetely recommend this place! Very supportive in your journey.

Fantastic experience: If you’re tired of not getting results at chain gyms and having to wait around for machines and equipment, you’ll want to come here! Great space, great trainer, Christine will help you get the results you’ve been wanting. I’ve tried a few things and nothing has worked as efficiently and as quickly as training with Christine. After the first week I notice a significant improvement in my body’s form. I Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Hello everyone! Just wanted to leave my review here on google. My names @The_chrismedina and I’ve been doing personal training with Christine for over a year now. Christine is the owner and trainer here at for from the ground up. She also has other trainer but what I love about her is that she makes sure you succeed. She never low balls your workout. She does what it takes to do that you get results fast and efficiently. It’s amazing the result she gets you with only training for one hour a day. As a business owner time is super valuable. She get straight to the point and get you going as soon as you walk in with warming up and making sure you roll it out super highly recommended! So if your looking to take your training to a whole other level this is the place !

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Christine for about 6 months now. She's amazing! I'll have to admit, it's the first time I've ever had a personal trainer but my experience has been fantastic. I've seen more results in 6 months then I have in many years of going to a regular gym on my own. She has classes to fit many budgets. For me, personal training was a good fit because I needed more guidance on what I was doing. What I love best about her is that she works with any injuries you might have. She has given me so many tips and exercises on how to alleviate pain. If I'm feeling extra painful, she works around how if feeling so that I don't exacerbate any injuries. We've even done entire sessions just on stretching! I would never get this in a regular gym. For me, the cost of working with Christine is worth it because I'm investing in my health and future. That's worth more to me than any cosmetic procedure, fancy car, etc. I'm gonna sign up with her for another 6 months and hopefully, for many more years to come!

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a personal trainer with abundant knowledge, patience, experience, and flexibility, Christine is the personal trainer for you. I have been with Christine for over a year and my progress would have been impossible without her. When I first met Christine, I was dealing with debilitating back issues. With her help and the use of her many resources, my progress with both with my back and strength training (and of course, losing inches) has been significant and steady. She has been incredibly patient working with me when back issues re-emerge, but she has been incredibly helpful in getting me back to working order. She is also very flexible with scheduling. She works with you to ensure you're able to make your sessions and make up sessions as necessary. Christine is willing to put in the work with you to help you achieve your fitness goals. Thanks to her, I am much stronger now than when I first met her. I'm excited to see further progress and what the future holds.

Fantastic experience: Christine is an amazing personal trainer as she is willing to work with any busy schedule. She trains around any health problems; I have heart problems and she was able to find different workouts to accommodate me. I started late April 2023 and have seen results , moreover, my cardiologist has mentioned today how much improvement she saw in my results from stress test with only a month of working out from the workouts. I’m positive within a year of commitment and motivation I will not only improve my health but will see drastic gains. Look no further, this is the best gym you will find. First session is free so give it a shot, there is nothing to lose.

Fantastic experience: Cristine is a great coach, can always count on her to correct my form and push me harder than i realize i could! Recommend this gym for those who don’t know where to begin or need a good push after working out for awhile ~

Fantastic experience: It's a great place to get a great workout. Christine is always conscientious of helping alter workouts if you have any past injuries or current issues while still pushing you. There's a great sense of community here which has always been important to me.

Fantastic experience: Christine is the absolute best trainer. I chose her after meeting with over 10 trainers during a three week span when I moved to the area. During the initial consultation, Christine was very thorough and detailed with her observations and able to identify form deficiencies and weak points. She listened very closely to my goals and came up with a plan to achieve it. Unlike commercial gyms, she didn’t pressure me and put on her sales hat. She simply focused on listening to what I wanted, asking me several questions, and assessing my current fitness routine and form. After a few months, I could not be happier with every aspect of working with her. She has several different routines to create good variety. She keeps the heart rate elevated through cardio intervals and fast pace functional movements and pushes me hard, never letting me fall short of the goal for reps. Perhaps most importantly, she meticulously watches every single rep and analyzes the form until I get it right. Simply put, she is great at what she does, and I can see both my own results and how happy her other clients are. Another thing I like about Christine is that she plays the role of fitness doctor basically. She tells me what exercises to focus on at home and what things I can do before meeting her so that I could maximize the benefit of my time with her. She is always open to questions and remembers to follow up and answer my questions in person…. And also makes sure that the exercises/stretching that I do at home are being done correctly. Every time we meet she shows me something new to try at home for a focus area where I need improvement. Lastly, she does morning and night fairly small group classes that are as good as meeting her for 1:1. The classes are very high pace HIIT type classes that use weights, focus on functional movements and also provide a good cardio workout. I highly recommend Christine as a trainer. And feel free to message me with any questions.

Fantastic experience: Fit from the Ground up not only provides an all inclusive environment, it also helps you make your fitness dreams into a reality. From bootcamp classes, buddy training and personal training, this gym provides it all. The best part of it all is the owner Christine is kind, friendly, but most importantly EXTREMELY knowledgeable in her field. Within 8 sessions of training (1 month) with her she helped me drop 4 percent body fat (losing fat was my goal) and build muscle. If you are trying to lose weight, gain muscle or just have a fresh breath of entertainment of working out, this place is your go to. Its fun, challenging, non-judgmental and the owner is really passionate in helping others reach their fitness goals. Go check it out and get fit!

Fantastic experience: I wanted to give personal training a try since I’ve never been in shape before and so far I love it. I’ve been training with Christine over a month now and she makes every session different and fun. I can’t say it’s easy because I feel like I’m pushed to my limit every time but that’s why I’m doing this in the first place—to have someone motivate and push me where I know I couldn’t have pushed myself. Give this place a try if you’re looking for a gym, the people and atmosphere are great!

Fantastic experience: I was looking to lose weight and get out of the plateau I had hit after the holidays. After searching & reading multiple reviews online, I found Fit From The Ground Up on and decided to give it a shot. I got in contact with Christine and she gave me a consultation soon after. Even though i was nervous, she made me feel comfortable/welcome right off the bat. I had signed up for a month but after some sessions, I decided to sign up for 3 months. She challenges me every session with intense workouts but I can honestly say that getting in contact with Christine was the best decision I could have made for myself. Within 12 weeks of training with her I got out of my rut and lost 12 pounds! If you are trying to lose weight and need a personal trainer, Christine is your girl!!! Trust me, you wont regret it.

Fantastic experience: This gym has turned into my second home. I love the trainers and the classes. I came in here not knowing what to do. I didnt even know what a bear claw was. Slowly I have learned so much and I have to give thanks to Christine for being an amazing and inspiring trainer. I love coming here. As soon as I walk in it feels like home. I started at 23lbs so far im at 198lbs began late march. My progress is slow but its my progress i go like 3 times a week. If i dont go for many consecutive days I get a text from owner because she cares about the members like no one else. I love this gym!

Fantastic experience: Big gyms never worked for me! At fftgu, you get the social experience of pushing through an hour of torture with other mere mortals. Being in it to win it together made the gym actually fun for once!!

Fantastic experience: I can only say good things about my experience. Love the classes and the personal training. Thank you FFTGU for being a huge part of this journey.

Fantastic experience: Such a great gym! All of the trainers provide the push and motivation I need to get the best workout possible, as well as providing nutrition and overall healthy lifestyle advice. Boot camp classes and personal training sessions are amazing!

Positive experience: Great place to work out, friendly enviroment and motivating. Personal training or group sessions available, whatever works for you.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of FFTGU since October 2015. Everyone is there to support and encourage each other. Christine's boot camp class in awesome, The prices are affordable and well worth it. Christine the owner offers different payment plans that help meet your financial needs. All the trainers are great! For those looking for a personal trainer Ariela is amazing!! I admire her work, she has helped me push myself to accomplish my fitness goals! I look forward daily to going to the gym. Everyone is like family!! I absolutely love FFTGU! I signed my daughter up who is 10yrs old. She love going to classdaily and love how all of the trainers are so friendly and want to see her do well. I appreciate all of the encouragement everyone gives her. I have seen her confidence and self esteem grow so much!! Thank you FFTGU!!!

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Christine since April 2016 and cannot recommend her highly enough. I tried taking her boot camp classes and after almost giving up she offered to work with me one on one which I immediately thought I would not be able to afford but Christine made it easy by offering a payment plan that worked for me. After personal training with Christine for almost 6 months I am now able to take her classes as well. I have lost 60+ lbs. and I feel better than ever. Christine truly cares about getting you healthy and has knowledge about diet and offers health advice that is valuable to the workouts that she provides. I am thankful for what Christine has helped me accomplish. She is an incredible personal trainer.

Negative experience: DO NOT GO HERE. THEY TOOK MY MONEY AND DID NOT PROVIDE A REFUND OR MY CONTRACT TO PROVE THERE WAS NO REFUND. I saw all the great reviews on YELP and I regret coming here. I was very open with the owner Christine about my illness and told her I used to be an athlete but was now dealing with my illness and obesity. She suggested I pay full price upfront for my classes. BIG MISTAKE!!!! After two sessions, I got sick and hospitalized and was told I could not get a refund, even if I had a medical reason. She said I signed a contract, which I remember reading thoroughly and there was nothing about no refunds if you paid upfront in total. I asked if I could see the contract and till today, she has not provided me with any copy or documentation. I feel that if you're the owner, and if your customer is obviously sick and on the verge of loosing their home, you could make an exception if you really did have "no refunds" on your contract. My advice is, if you are going to go here, don't pay for a lot of classes up front even if they say you'll save on a bundle.
