RAF Strength & Fitness: Opinions

Fantastic experience: Love the place, the trainers are friendly and make a very casual yet professional work environment
Fantastic experience: Not only are the classes challenging, but the trainers, the members and the place has a great positive vibe. I felt welcome from day 1.
Fantastic experience: Want to feel healthier and stronger? This is the place. The staff keep me motivated and the place has a great vibe.
Fantastic experience: RAF is amazing! Both my son's have special needs and the trainers are very accommodating and help them tremendously. Especially Tyler. Tyler took the time to show my adult son with special needs how to wrap his boxing wraps as well as checking on him throughout the training. During the classes the trainers rotate and approach every member, including myself to help and guide them through the workouts. It feels as if you have a personal trainer. My younger son had to have a vocal surgery and is unable to speak for a few weeks. The trainers in the College/HS Sports performance understood, are very understanding and have continued to help with his training. The members are all so welcoming and kind. I am SO happy I FINALLY found a gym that cares for their clients and not the monetary aspect.
Fantastic experience: From staff to your regular gym goers its been great!
Fantastic experience: If you want to actually see life changing results that you will actually see, sign up at RAF! Simple as that.
Fantastic experience: A real gym experience. Customized workouts and nutritional training to get to your absolute best.
Fantastic experience: My son who is 14 started at RAF with his travel baseball team as part of their winter workouts. He loved it! after the 8 week session was over he wanted to continue and we signed up for a 8 session private training package. My son has shown major improvements, the trainers are fabulous with him and he bonds with them. Mike the owner texts me to see how he is doing. This gym is just terrific all around and really has given my son excellent knowledge and sense of belonging. Would give 10 stars!
Fantastic experience: RAF is a family gym, where everyone is welcomed and working out becomes a fun activity rather than just something you do to look good. The adult classes are awesome since they are tailored to groups and the fitness coach is always available to help on an individual basis. The gym also offers boxing classes which I’ve been trying to do for some time now. Aside from that the yoga and Zumba classes are extremely fun and dynamic. Another great thing about RAF is the first responder and military discounts they offer which really helps me in my fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: Mike and John have built RAF into a gym that becomes part of your lifestyle. RAF is easily the best gym I’ve ever been too. Whether I do a private one on one training session or attend a group class, I leave the gym feeling completely satisfied. With John and Mike’s guidance I was able to lose 80 lbs. The training sessions and their advice has also helped me keep my arthritis pain to a minimum or on some days be completely gone!..If you are looking to improve your body, RAF without question is one of the best places to go to. The atmosphere at RAF is like a big family that is having a great time while working hard. All the additional staff hired by RAF are wonderful people!

Fantastic experience: RAF is more than just a gym, it's a family! I have been a part of RAF since it opened. Mike, John, and all of the trainers are friendly, knowledgeable, dedicated and work hard to help you reach your fitness and nutrition goals. They consistently push you and encourage you to be the best you can be. The classes offer a high energy workout- don't forget to bring a towel because you will sweat! RAF is clean and offers a great variety of equipment! If you have a child that wants to excel in sports, RAF also offers great workout opportunities for middle and high school students as well. My son and some of his soccer teammates started training at RAF a few weeks ago and their strength and agility has greatly improved.
Fantastic experience: Last year I entered and won RAF's free year membership contest. At 53, I hadn't worked out at gym in 20 years and was feeling the effects. My energy level was depleted by mid day and my muscles had no memory. From my very first session of adult fitness, I was greeted in a friendly professional manner and taught how to execute each excersise and how each movement benefit my body. Trainer Mike Necsutu constantly encourages members to push themselves and to stay motivated. Mike Lisi and John Feliciano do a great job of keeping up with the latest equipment , technology and provide a clean safe environment. The Raf team make all members the best they can be.
Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality The owners and trainers of RAF are great. Would definitely recommend them.

Fantastic experience: You will never want to train at another gym again once you experienced the family atmosphere at RAF! Every trainer is knowledgeable and encouraging and provides a full body workout that is always challenging enough for all levels of fitness! I have been training with Mike and John for a year and have never felt better or have been stronger. I highly recommend giving RAF a try! You will not he disappointed!!
Fantastic experience: The trainers are kind and encouraging. They know all of their clients and greet them individually when they walk in. They push you, but they also allow accommodations to the exercises when necessary. They describe the moves and their purpose. The other members are congenial and supportive. Everybody follows prescribed safety protocols. I’ve worked out (and have wanted to work out) more in the last 4 weeks than I have in the last 4 years.

I love starting my week with one of Johns Sunday mornings boot camp classes!!! I’m so happy being a part of the RAF family! It’s a life changing experience and I highly recommend it to all my friends and family and to anyone who is looking to be healthier, fitter and stronger HARDWORK
Fantastic experience: Incredible people leading the way ... Mike, John and all the trainers are passionate, selfless and kind ... they truly care about each person ... all are warmly welcomed regardless of fitness level, age and ability. amazing adult fitness classes ... Game changer for me! My son plays football in college and does the personal training sessions and he's made incredible gains. Perfect place for any fitness level. I drive :25 minutes in each direction to take their classes. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: My son Chris has been telling me to take a trial workout at RAF for two years. I previously worked out with a private trainer, but stopped going for lack of motivation. Recently I took my son's advice and am very happy I did.The workouts are challenging, but the owner Mike is a great trainer and a true motivator. He takes an interest in the all around health and well being of his members. On my second day, I mentioned to Mike that I wanted to lose weight. After the workout he prepared a meal plan for me. I am in a small group with men my age who welcomed me to the group and are very supportive of each other. In closing, RAF is more than a gym, it is a family. I recommend RAF 100%.
Fantastic experience: RAF is a great gym. My entire family are part of RAF. John and Mike are dedicated to each of them and committed to help them become the best they can be. Always a great and motivational workout and a friendly atmosphere!
Fantastic experience: Mike & John run a great program, they’re concise, practical, effective and a pleasure. They will tailor the program to fit your needs. You’ll feel better physically, mentally and emotionally.
Fantastic experience: John is AMAZING! I trained w him years ago and was in the best shape of my life. Recently came back and joined RAF and just when I thought he couldn’t be any better, he surpassed my expectations. Watch out 2020! Clean, professional, warm and friendly gym!
Fantastic experience: M J(Mike & John)trainers are the best!!! They are professional in every aspect of fitness and are knowledgeable in their field. They show great passion in their training towards their clients.
Fantastic experience: My daughter and I both are a part of RAF. John is so patient with the younger ones but also encourages them to try their hardest. I have had an amazing experience. John and Mike along with the rest of their trainers are so dedicated to their clients and keep everyone motivated. It’s always a fun workout with great people as well as challenging and they make everyone feel like a part of their RAF family!
Fantastic experience: Mike & John make fitness accessible for all ages and skill levels. They are truly interested in the success of their clientele and will bend over backwards for any client. Their dedication, commitment, and professionalism is evident in every interaction.
Fantastic experience: I was introduced to RAF 3 years ago when my 10yr old son started youth performance training with Mike. I dropped in on one of their famous boot camps with John and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve trained at dozens of gyms over the past 20 years and I can honestly say that RAF is special. It is made special by the commitment that John and Mike have to their clients. John, Mike and the whole RAF family will make you feel welcome and part of the family.
Fantastic experience: Great Gym. Friendly Knowledgeable Staff. Machines & Free Weights. Highly Recommended.
Fantastic experience: I have been part of RAF since it opened and I’ve never looked anywhere else. John and Mike will truly tailor the workouts to your specific needs making sure that you see the results you are going for. They both have different approach which as a member gives you great options but most importantly they both share the same enthusiasm, care and dedication to their clients. Mike and John are very knowledgeable in their fields. If you have questions about nutrition, how to modify an exercise or which specific workout you should do for a specific body part - they will give you an instant answer. They will stay after class even if the class is done to talk to you, answer any questions and make you feel comfortable. They always provide encouragement and support even through texts: “how do you feel after the workout?” Or text you a video about how to do a correct push up - my weakness lol. RAF has become my fitness family. Here I have built the journey to a healthy life style thanks to John and Mike. Go RAF!! ( in Ruthie’s voice lol =)
Fantastic experience: They have an amazing facility and exercises to get you to your very best potential. RAF is for all kinds of people, wether your training for a sport or just want to workout RAF is the place for you.
Fantastic experience: Great Trainers Mike and John, who happen to be the owners as well. They know their stuff. As soon as my son started going there I saw immediate gains in strength, speed, agility and endurance. It helped him a great deal with his high school sports. He's now been going there for two plus years and is much stronger faster and has greater stamina then before he started the program. I highly recommend RAF for anyone and everyone both young and old, male or female! Not just for Sports...
Fantastic experience: Great trainers who are dedicated to helping each client in a uniquely beneficial way!
