Rebel Strength & Performance

Fantastic experience: I have just begun my third year working with the trainers at Rebel Strength and Performance. During COVID Derek, Erica, and Melissa enabled me to continue my personalized program by Zooming with them 3 times a week. It has been amazing being back to the energetic, friendly and motivating atmosphere of their Gym. With all new equipment it has been fun to work out with a variety of options to accomplish my goals. The “Rebel” family of trainers continue to design individual workouts based on my abilities and goals. They make it fun with just enough of a challenge to make you feel great at the end of a workout. You can’t find more caring and knowledgeable trainers.

Fantastic experience: What separates Rebel from any other competitor gym... is the people. The Rebel Strength and Performance staff have fostered such a unique and special community that is so welcoming and fun for everyone of all ages. As an athlete, it is amazing to have coaches that curated programs that allowed me to focus on my goals. But more importantly, I have loved getting to know the other members and develop relationships with them.

Fantastic experience: Not just like going to a gym - it’s like going to see your family ! Great gym ! Amazing trainers! Comfortable and fun all at the same time !!

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best presents my daughter ever gave me!! I LOVE being part of the Revolution "family"!! LOVE REBEL!! The coaches are always so upbeat, motivating, knowledgeable and encouraging. The community they have built at this gym is incredible, and it is such a joy working out here. The individualized workouts are designed for you and help you to attain your fitness goals. Join us, you won't be disappointed!!

Fantastic experience: Rebel has been nothing short of an excellent investment in myself. The coaches here are fantastic, knowledgeable, and willing to meet their clients where they’re at. I love coming to class, and it has been helping me stay accountable. It feels great to see progress. I love that the gym is small and has a family feel. I highly recommend Rebel to anyone ready to start their health and fitness journey! :)

Fantastic experience: Customized fitness and strength semi group training plans in Fairfield. The team is professional, courteous and very knowledgeable. The gym is gorgeous and very up to date with some really cutting edge stuff. They are up to date with all of the latest fitness and wellness trends, obviously, but what impressed me was that they are really committed to your personal health goals. Have it be to shed a few pounds, build muscle, lean out from the pandemic, overhaul your overall fitness plan or the menopause middle weight gain. They serve all populations from pro athletes to newbies. They even have a golf simulator!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about this gym. It’s a gym without feeling like a gym. The trainers are amazing. You can tell they really care. People always say that things feel like family, but this place really does, it feels like home, you want to go there, not just to work out, but to be with the people there.

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Rebel Strength enough! At the beginning of 2022 I knew I wanted to work on my strength, health and fitness but I didn’t know where to start. I reached out to Erica and she recommended their online training program since I live far away from their gym. I stopped in to have a consultation and get my weight and measurements and learn some of the more challenging movements. Danielle is my trainer and she is so helpful and answered every gym question I had, which was a lot, and showed me proper form so I could do my workouts in my home gym. The best part about the online program is that you can change it depending on your goals. Every month Danielle would check in to see how my workouts were and how I was feeling. Whether I was trying to build strength, cut a few lbs or just keep consistency, Danielle has customized my program to work for me and my lifestyle! This has changed the game for me and I no longer dread going to the gym. If you want the support, to build your physical fitness and have all of it work for you, your schedule and lifestyle I highly recommend Rebels online training!

Fantastic experience: Best decision I made this year so far was to join Rebel, after several years putting this off and struggling with physical issues, I finally gave myself the chance to join a gym and joined the Rebel community. Owners and trainers are incredibly good people, they created a routine I'd follow, and supported me in every step of the way. Four months in and this is just the beginning, this place is so much more than a gym. It is a community of like minded people with the support you need to help you achieve your physical goals, build confidence and make new friends. All in one, it simply doesn't get better than that.

Fantastic experience: Derek, Erica and Melissa are an amazing trio that make working out at Rebel an absolute joy. I've never been someone that enjoyed working out and had no interest in going to a gym but after my first visit I was hooked. The whole gym has a family atmosphere that makes your time their enjoyable and they're amazing trainers to make sure you are comfortably pushing yourself.

Fantastic experience: Rebel is more than just a gym. It’s a community, it’s a family. A family of people who strive to get better and push themselves to reach all their goals and all the coaches are by your side every step of the way. If you’re looking for a new gym, look no further and join Rebel

Fantastic experience: I joined Rebel in September after a 1.5 year long hiatus from gyms due to the pandemic and a reconstructive surgery. The trainers are Rebel really work with you to build up stamina and strength, while making sure injuries are protected. I have really enjoyed going to the gym and found the other members and trainers to be incredibly friendly.

Fantastic experience: I started training at Rebel Strength & Performance in May 2021 and can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made! I had just gone through 6 months of physical therapy for a back injury and was unsure if I could get back into shape and consistently working out. Not only did Derek, Erica, Melissa and Anthony help modify my exercises, I was able to get stronger, lose the weight and am now in the best shape I’ve ever been in!! I truly love waking up early to go to my 6am small group class with trainers and other members that push me to be the best I can be. There is always so much to look forward to with different monthly challenges or special holiday sessions. I cannot recommend Rebel Strength & Performance enough and strongly suggest giving it a try. I can promise you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: After 3 years of regular training with Dereck, Erica, Anthony and Melissa I have a new understanding of strength and fitness. As a senior member of the program they have introduced me to goals and exercises that I never would have considered as appropriate for me, not to mention life enhancing. The possibilities are endless, never too late to start moving with purpose, and perhaps most important, step out of your comfort zone. Mixing the youthful environment, with professional expertise , and a family atmosphere, I am a REBEL.

Fantastic experience: My fiancé and I joined Rebel back in October and I can say that it is the best gym we have ever joined, hands down! Erica, Derek and Melissa foster a super fun environment (it’s literally never a dull moment!) and they really know their stuff. They create individualized plans for every member and really get to know how to target your individual strengths and weaknesses. I have never had the most confidence in the gym and these trainers help build me up every day. They keep me coming back and I have seen my physical (and mental) strength increase ten-fold since I became a Rebel! Heartfelt thanks to these people. We can’t wait to be lifetime members!

Fantastic experience: Revolution strength & conditioning has truly become like a second home to me. It is such a fun, friendly and welcoming place for anyone to workout. The coaches are amazing! They create awesome custom workouts to fit all my needs so that I can get the best results. The group classes are so much fun too! Revolution is like a big family/community. Ive gained so many friends along the way. Every time I walk through the door I see a friendly face and always have a great time!

Fantastic experience: I have never been stronger or had more energy. The team/gym family at Rebel get to know you and understand your goals. The members are also welcoming and very supportive of each other. The environment is more than fun and the care and attention by EVERY staff member is really felt. I love the changes to my routine every few weeks. I’m never board and welcome the challenge but love seeing the results even more. Glad to have met Erika, Derrick, Anthony and Melissa. They have given me so much to look forward to with each and every workout. #memberforlife. #rebelgoals #glutebridges #meptober

Fantastic experience: I was never one to enjoy working out but after joining revolution, I look forward to the gym everyday. The coaches are always so encouraging and motivating, and they focus on each and every person individually to help them meet their goals. After I had back surgery, all of the coaches worked with me to make sure I was comfortable in everything I was doing. Revolution is truly the best gym!!

Fantastic experience: I am so thankful for Revolution! The small group trainings are amazing because of the support from the other clients, while also still having one on one attention from the trainers. The staff truly care about your progress and are so knowledgeable! No matter how much experience you have working out, Revolution will meet you where you are at and will work with you to reach your own personal goals!

Fantastic experience: The trainers at Revolution are truly experts in their field. Revolution offers a completed personalized training program to help you reach your specific goals in a healthy, safe and really fun way. Members span all ages and fitness abilities, and everyone feels welcome and encouraged every day. I joined when I was working out at a local gym and tired of not seeing results. Within 4 months at Revolution, I had gained so much strength and lost nearly 40 pounds. I never felt overworked or deprived of anything, and every time I came to the gym, I was excited and motivated to see what I could do. I truly encourage anyone to try Revolution, whether you are not sure where to begin or are an experienced athlete looking to enhance your skills.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I switched to Rev when they opened gyms up last year. After being in the worst shape of my life, I’m now probably in the best shape I’ve been in since college. Great staff and has a true family vibe and this coming from someone who used to hate working out with other people. Love the place and no plans on switching back

Fantastic experience: Revolution = Family! Revolution is ALL about family, and this is what makes it unique. Family is at its core. In its ownership, its membership, and the relationships that develop within the gym. This focus makes you feel welcome, helps set focused goals, and pushes and encourages you to achieve your very best. My son started at Revolution with Derek in the baseball off-season to build strength and improve his athleticism. After a few months, rather than sit, wait, and watch, I decided to join in. Not soon after, my wife started, and our youngest has come to classes too. We can do this because Revolution focuses on each of us as individuals, with our own needs and goals. They give you the attention that only someone that truly knows you can do - like family. Since becoming a member, I have developed the habits and routines to help me live a healthier lifestyle, create an even closer bond with my wife and children, and add people to what is now my extended family! I can't think of another place I'd rather be. Thank you, Derek, Erica, Anthony, Melissa, and Baby RJ, for what you mean to our family and our lives.

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility - clean, smart set up, with top of the line equipment - and even better trainers! Rebel's structure combines the best of both worlds so that you get the benefits of custom, personalized training plans without losing the community aspect from classes/group workouts. I am new to the area and having moved during peak covid, I was having a hard time finding a gym where I felt comfortable and safe but also a gym where I felt challenged. The trainers at Rebel go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and take a personal interest in your fitness growth and goals and will be as hands-on (or off) as you want them to. While everyone is super friendly and encouraging, they won't let you get away with incorrect or inefficient form/technique, which I really appreciate. The owners are trainers as well and are part of the day to day which is nice. They are on top of updating the space, equipment, and programming and have really have created a great community - thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: I joined the Revolution “family” over a year ago and I couldn’t be happier!!! The trainers are knowledgeable, caring, motivating and DEDICATED! Every workout is designed to my specific needs. I’ve done both group classes and personal training... online and in-person! This gym provides it ALL!

Fantastic experience: I never thought that I was the "gym type". But with a lot of great coaching, patience and determination, I was able to set personal goals and feel successful. The best part about Revolution are the people and overall positive atmosphere. The Revolution Family is an integral part of not only my life, but also that of my husband and son. We all are happy to go at our own pace, and that is what makes this gym one of a kind :)!!!

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking to improve your overall quality of life, Revolution is the place to be. The atmosphere alone is super welcoming, high energy and the trainers are extremely knowledgeable. As a team, they create individualized workout plans and are willing to work with you to achieve your goals. Not only do the trainers offer monthly nutritional advice, but I walk in there everyday with a workout plan and equipment set in place for me - what more is there to ask for?! I love Revolution and I look forward to getting in a workout everyday!!

Fantastic experience: Revolution is my absolute FAVORITE place to be! The energy once you walk in is amazing and I always get a big welcome. The trainers are the most friendly, hard working and energetic people and always push me to do my best! Revolution is a must if you want a great work out and I guarantee they will make you smile:)

Fantastic experience: As an athlete, I am looking for the best preparation for my season. I can confidently say that after training with the Revolution Team, I went into my season being in the best shape of my life. If you're looking for some intense training while having a blast doing it, Revolution is the place to be at.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Revolution Strength since January of 2016 and the experience has been incredible. Gym owners Derek and Erica Talish have elite level knowledge in physical fitness to athletic development and everything in between. Both have been critical to achieving my health and fitness goals. I highly recommend to anyone looking to take their skills to the next level or achieve the highest of health goals. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Keeping on top of your training and health during a pandemic can be difficult but Revolution has gone above and beyond to keep us motivated! Erica and Derek constantly stayed connected virtually and now that we are back for one on one sessions have taken all the steps to keep us safe and healthy! Communication to members and dedication from the trainers makes this a top notch gym community! I feel amazing after every session!

Fantastic experience: Going from someone who was extremely self conscious about the gym/exercise to someone who is eager to attend the gym next. The trainers at Revolution helped make a welcoming and exciting atmosphere for everyone who walks in the door! I struggle with a few minor injuries and they helped give me a training plan that matches my goals, while also helping to recover my body. I am so thankful for everything they have done the past year for me!

Fantastic experience: Revolution has hands down become my favorite place to get a work out in. Derek, Erica, and the entire Revolution staff go above and beyond to ensure not only that each of their clients reach their individual goals, but that they have a great time while doing so. Between both the workouts Derek has programmed for me through the TrainHeroic app, as well as my workouts at their facility, I’ve noticed significant improvement in my strength and workout regiment. I would highly recommend giving these guys a visit!

Fantastic experience: Three words come to mind when I think Professionalism. Community. Motivation. Be it walking into an early morning class with sleep in your eyes, or going to the gym after a long day of work, Derek, Erica and the rest of Revolution’s wonderful staff will have you ready to run through a brick wall and fight against the forces of gravity thanks to their passion for fitness, and their genuine care in each and every client who walks through their doors. Their gym is perfect for everyone from aspiring college athletes, to working adults looking to maintain a healthy level of physical fitness. Their staff —comprised of experienced fitness professionals — works with each client to help them achieve their goals. Most importantly, Revolution Strength and Conditioning is able to create a sense of community within their gym. The relationship between trainers and clients isn’t that of your typical big box fitness club. Rather, Revolution’s staff creates a sense of community between clients and trainers alike. Work outs soon become less of a chore, and feel more like you’re hanging out with friends while working towards the physic of a Greek God. This is the first gym I’ve ever worked out at where I actually look forward waking up first thing in the morning to knock out a workout. 10 out 10 gym. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Revolution Strength & Conditioning provides a highly professional and motivational atmosphere. The trainers all have a great deal of knowledge and truly care about your training goals. The attention to detail and personalized approach is evident in each training program. The atmosphere and support throughout the group classes provides for a fun yet challenging workout. As a member of Revolution since they opened, I highly recommend the gym to anyone looking to get started.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Great trainers with a vast knowledge in a variety of different workout plans. Always available for questions and looking to make sure you workouts are getting the most out of you. Also provide an awesome environment to workout in whether its in a group or individual session.

Fantastic experience: I LOVE coming to work out here!!! I will never go back to a regular gym again! I leave every class feeling amazing, energized, fit, and happy. It's impossible not to feel excited and ready to CRUSH a workout when you show up to revolution. The trainers energy is infectious and they know just how to help you succeed. They create a fun, accepting atmosphere for every member. Cannot express how much I love this place!!!

Fantastic experience: I have never met gym owners who are so passionate about their clients! Revolution offers live online class and, while I was never able to attend them live due to my work schedule, when I took the class at a later time it felt as if I was in the room with Derek and Erica! They are so motivating and exude positive energy! Their undeniable commitment to making themselves available to work with their clients during a pandemic far exceeded any expectations I had. I could text them at any time of day with questions about proper body placement/target zone suggestions and they would answer with detailed explanations and encouragement. While their classes focus on various muscle groups and provide a wide range of strength training and conditioning that I have never found at another gym, it is the family like atmosphere that Derek and Erica have created that is something you come across once in a lifetime!

Fantastic experience: It’s hard to find a pair of gym owners who are effortlessly able to make each and every client feel like a part of their family- and thats exactly what you can expect from Derek, Erica, and their wonderful staff of experienced trainers. In my experience, Revolution team members treat each client as a wholly unique person, and the level of detail and attention they’re able to put into each person, program, and day is tough to beat. Truly dedicated to what they do, I couldn’t make a higher recommendation if you’re looking to take control of your fitness.

Fantastic experience: I've been working out with Revolution Strength since it opened 2 years ago and I've trained with most of their staff for much longer. I love the vibes of this gym. I walk into coaches and friends who are energetic, motivated and just want to kick a**. I have my workout ready to go for me when I walk into the gym with my weights and equipment already set up. The team is knowledgeable about my goals & program and are instrumental in helping me push to where I want to be fitness/weight wise. The facility is alway pristine & kept up to date, and there is always a new "toy" (equipment) to try out. I get to work out with people of all levels and goals, yet no matter how different our workouts may be, its always a positive community of people pushing each other to be their best. Don't forget to end you work out with a Kill Cliff and a Derek high five.

Fantastic experience: After receiving a month-long trial as a gift, I knew I found the gym for me. For the first time in a while, I feel excited about exercising. The staff are the best, and they only want to make you feel better. I can't recommend the gym enough!

Fantastic experience: After my ankle injury i thought my life would be very different. I play in a few men’s league softball which i enjoy a lot. But after the injury I thought I would miss the year and never be the same... but working with the Rev staff they got me back and I didn’t miss a single game in any league. Not afraid to run around, slide or dive at full speed. They really care about their clients and will go far beyond what they need to do because they truly want to see you succeed in whatever your goals are

Fantastic experience: Derek, Erica, Anthony, and Melissa are incredible trainers!! I've never felt more comfortable and driven at a gym! The outdoor classes have great circuits that focus on all parts of the body, and their indoor strength classes have a great group and 1 on 1 feel. I'd recommend any one of them for personal training classes! I'm so happy to be part of the Revolution Family!!

Fantastic experience: Erika and Derrick work with me and my previous sports Injuries and have given me amazing results. Not only are they knowledgeable, professional and friendly, but they really know how to take care of their clients. The facility is spacious, and clean and given the current pandemic, they are completely Covid safe! Not only do Erika and Derrick give great direction, they also are excellent for correcting posture to prevent injuries and to maximize results as well as giving you advise on how to eat correctly to get the best results.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Revolution and Derek and Erica specifically. I hate working out typically but I look forward to coming here. Their SWEAT class is awesome and one on one training has been a game changer for me from a health perspective. I was very deconditioned at one point from prolonged inactivity and the progress I made and how quickly the turnaround on how I felt was amazing. I owe them so much and am so grateful for their business. I have worked with both of them with training and both are amazing. Gyms can be intimidating but Derek and Erica make it feel so comfortable. Not only are they both knowledgeable and great at what they do but they make the entire experience enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: This gym has been such an awesome experience. The trainers are so knowledgeable and dedicate each session to making sure you are doing exactly what you need to in order to reach your goals. The crowd is mixed in terms of age, gender, and capabilities, and everyone supports each other. I recommend this gym to anyone looking for guidance in terms of fitness and training as well as some accountability and motivation to stay focused!

Fantastic experience: Revolution Strength and Conditioning is one of the best gyms in the area. As a college athlete, I feel like I am always well prepared during my off seasons to be able to perform to the best of my abilities for my season. Derek and Erica do an amazing job hiring personable trainers, and make sure they have plenty of times for everyone to be able to make a class. If you are looking for a new gym, with trainers who will make you feel like family, this is it.

Fantastic experience: Group classes can be intimidating, however Derek & Erica's expertise, passion, and dedication to the needs of each individual member is what stands out the most. Having played collegiate rugby, ive been around countless of trainers and workout programs. None of them came close to providing such detailed attention. Whether its helping you come up with a nutrition plan, going over your sleep patterns, or having personalized workouts- these are the things that differentiate Revolution from every other gym. These are the things that have helped me drop close to 40 pounds since first joining, For the first time in my life, i actually enjoy and look forward to working out.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area hands down. Derek and Erica are masters of their craft. Excellent trainers and an extraordinary environment to workout in. The workouts are intense and creative in a small group setting and leave you wanting to come back for more. I highly recommend Revolution!!

Fantastic experience: I love working out at revolution! They deliver new workouts and motivation daily. The best part is is that they keep you laughing and entertained throughout and that you barely feel like you’re working out. Everyone is like family the second you walk in the door and any possibly working out concerns you might of had are gone. I’ve never been so motivated and educated about working out in my life.
