Amplio Fitness

Fantastic experience: The highlight of my week is my visit to Amplio Fitness. It's such a supportive queer environment from the first time I walked in and Belle called me queen. I was worried about joining a traditional gym but this is such a great environment where I'm still making gains in my strength and mobility.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Amplio enough! I have been working with Belle for a few months now. I had always been very resistant to working with a trainer because of the stereotypes of them being pushy, intense, and intimidating. Belle is the exact opposite! She's down to earth and easy to talk to, knowledgeable but not overbearing with info, and encouraging while not pressuring me to do something I don't want. Her style is very body intuitive and focuses on what I need in that moment, with the wider goal of developing my overall health. The workout routines Belle has developed for me are personalized, varied, and fun! I already feel so much stronger and more confident in my body. I love that the gym itself is non-traditional; it's private, open and bright, and generally has a chill vibe. I don't feel intimidated, or like I have to look a certain way and do certain things, like I have in the past at other gyms. I like that Amplio includes other facilities like an infrared sauna and reiki therapy. I have also experienced reiki with Belle and it was so relaxing and helped dispel some of my anxiety. I'm so glad I found Belle and Amplio Fitness - I love being part of a welcoming and supportive community that helps me to take care of my body and general well-being!

Fantastic experience: Belle Ursa is an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING trainer!! She brings so much energy and knowledge to motivate and inspire me. I've had so many gains since being trained by her. She also is careful to make sure I have proper form and doesn't push me so I never injure or strain myself. But she got the pep to make me enjoy striving to reach my goals. I am so thankful for having the privilege to be trained by her!!! And big BONUS for being LGBTQ+ friendly❤️

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Belle helped me to get into a new routine after some health issues. She is a totally sweet heart and knowledgable, and her space is very welcoming and queer.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism Belle has been a positive force in my life since we started working together. I am new to exercise, but she knew exactly what to do to set me up for success. We work together over Zoom, and I'm always so impressed by how personal it feels!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Amplio for just under a year now and the whole time I've been impressed both by their team as well as by my own progress. They have cultivated a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space for their clients and have been compassionate, understanding and flexible every step of the way. To top it all off, I've had a blast working with them! I'd recommend Amplio to anyone regardless of their wellness/fitness goals! You're gonna love it!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Amplio highly enough! I've been doing online coaching during the pandemic, and it's been a fantastic way to keep up my motivation and fitness. Sessions are very personalized and creative - I don't feel like I've lost anything doing virtual sessions instead of in-person. We've found lots of ways to adapt our routines based on what is available in my home since we don't have access to all the typical gym equipment. Every week, Belle starts a session with "I was researching and found this new exercise, let's try it out and see if we want to add it into our rotation!" Our routines are constantly changing and updating so it never feels rote. Belle has been really great about communicating how exercises should feel and making sure my form is good even though we're working over a computer screen. She is very aware that everyone is on their own fitness journey with their own goals and triggers, and makes sure that her client's comfort and safety is the #1 priority. As someone who hasn't always felt comfortable in traditional gym spaces, this has been incredibly inspiring and motivating.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I love amplio! Living in a world where we receive messages on how we need to be a certain way enjoy fitness, John and Belle have helped me recognize fitness and wellness are for everyone. I appreciate you providing a safe space for me to exist.

Fantastic experience: My son started training here under John, who has always been super supportive and understanding of his needs, goals, and limitations. John goes out of his way to be open and available to help my son become the person he wants to be, and to combat his dysphoria. Then I learned that Belle provides decolonized Jikiden Reiki! I am a bit of a skeptic, but I was willing to try and I'm definitely interested in any practices that have been reclaimed by the people who it was originally practiced by. Belle explained everything she was doing, why she was doing it, and went above and beyond to make sure that I was entirely comfortable and understood the practice thoroughly. I was so comfortable I even fell asleep for a bit, which I *cannot* do around most people. I am not sure about long-term effects as I just had my first session, but I have definitely been calmer and less anxious. I tend to get really bad panic attacks before I fall asleep (especially in the winter), and my panic attacks have occurred less and been WAY milder when they do occur since. I look forward to more sessions and continued results with Belle, and a long training relationship between John and my son!

Fantastic experience: I was treated by my friend Belle Ursa, a Reiki practitioner. This treatment is for healing, after major shoulder rebuild, and was recommended by my Occupational Therapy coach. Belle is a wonderful, knowledgeable, professional at this art. Belle explained what she would do during the session, and what sensations I might expect. The studio and adjacent fitness area are both neat and clean. The set up is well-organized. Belle and her co worker were welcoming, and answered questions related to future treatment and an exercise regimine for future. I'm going back for another session next month. Will make Reiki and exercise there a part of my health regimine. Very nice place. LGBTQ staff work here. You are safe with them!

Fantastic experience: Awesome yoga classes! Victoria is a great teacher and there were people of all levels there. Nice, open space filled with bright colors. They even have mats there, so you don't have to worry about packing your own. When you go in the main building entrance, turn right and go to the end of the hallway. The studio is right there.

Fantastic experience: Staff and space are absolutely exceptional! Everyone is so warm, accommodating, and understanding. Belle was my trainer and she’s just spectacular! The place feels warm and inviting, and they have equipment all ready for you!

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking to start your own healthy journey this is the place to start. Amplio Fitness has the equipment and health coaches to guide you towards success. High quality coaching and wellness classes.

Fantastic experience: Love the staff at Amplio Fitness!! I've gone out of my comfort zone twice to both Yoga with friends and then again to a Reiki Massage session. I am now hooked on both! Belle makes it so easy to fit in and become comfortable right away. I can't recommend her and Amplio enough.

Positive experience: Belle Ursa is kind and compassionate, please see her for pain relief, Rekki works.

Fantastic experience: While I already know that Belle makes a great, understanding and nurturing nutritionist, my Jikiden Reiki session was so beautiful and necessary. Belle made an effort to hear my needs and work where she felt needed the most healing and it was a beautiful experience for it. Thanks to Belle and Amplio for existing in Cleveland!! ❤❤

Fantastic experience: Excellent yoga classes, coaching, and atmosphere. 11/10 would Amplio again.

Fantastic experience: Amplio Fitness is not only rooted in expertise (both of nutrition and exercise for varying body types and desires) but prioritizes a culture of inclusion and that is rare to find in other fitness facilities. Amplio crafts an environment in which anyone, at any level, can feel comfortable articulating goals and working toward those goals at their own personal pace. All staff members I have encountered are warm yet professional and motivating yet not pushy. Having access to Amplio has allowed me to pursue exercise without the culture of shame and competition that occurs in other gyms! Forever grateful.
