Fitness Concepts Health Club

Fantastic experience: My wife and I joined FitCon in January of 2014. Without the classes and coaches we would not have accomplished as much as we have in the last 13 months. The coaches are passionate about what they do and the staff is friendly and helpful. We recommend FitCon to all our family and friends.

Fantastic experience: Fitness Concepts is the most amazing gym I've ever joined. Not only are their trainers knowledgeable about how to get you fit, they truly do care and take the time to educate you on all aspects of fitness and health. I have been part of the biggest loser group now for over eight weeks and have meet some great people. The trainer Matt Cali created a Facebook page for all of us to help support each other and ask questions. I have gotten so much more than I ever expected out of this experience and plan on continuing this journey for a long time. Any one considering this gym would be in good hands.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of fitness concepts for a few years now, the club is amazing! The people are amazing! And now joining the Crossfit 696 community is jut as amazing!

Fantastic experience: Fitness Concepts is my second home. They have the absolute best instructors and I wouldn't leave them for the world. The staff are always welcoming and kind. It's hard to go there and not get a workout that leaves you feeling amazing.

Fantastic experience: I've worked out at multiple gyms in the Gardner area, however none of them even compare to Fitness Concepts. The training staff is incredibly knowledgable in an incredibly diverse set of fitness programs. The group fitness classes are taught throughout the day and the instructors are always prepared when new releases come out and arrive promptly, 15 minutes early to class. The classes inject life into the traditional ways of teaching pump, step, yoga, rpm, agility, strengthening, and core classes, by incorporating a creative and energetic vibe that cannot be mirrored by surrounding gyms. The personal trainers and coaches are a lively bunch, that show a genuine interest in reshaping people's lives both from a physical perspective and a deeper emotional level. Classes such as fitedge and cxworks are ground breaking in the way that group fitness class can be deduced to a more individualist level. Crossfit 696 is another feature that many gyms in the surrounding area do not offer. Unlike many of the crossfit "boxes," or gyms, this crossfit gym has a diverse age range, with the majority of it's clients being young adults to middle aged. Safety is one of the most important facets of crossfit 696 and the welcoming and cleanly environment is unique feature in a sport that can sometimes scare people away. From a more personal perspective, I worked at the UMass Recreation center and have worked out at similar gyms that operate under the planet fitness model. Both the size and inability to get a productive workout in such a clustered atmosphere made me veer away from low-pricing model gyms. If you truly want to transform your body, at a place that is dedicated to it's customer, not as a paying client, but truly as a person, then Fitness Concepts is the gym for you.

Fantastic experience: I never really felt much passion or drive for personal fitness until coming here. The classes leave me feeling motivated and ready for more. The environment is welcoming and comfortable and overall a great place to workout. I finally feel like I'm on a great path to physical fitness and plan to be with Gardner FitCon for a very long time!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Fitness Concepts in Gardner Ma for about 2 years now. I Recommend this gym to anyone. Very comfortable Atmosphere. I absolutely LOVE it here. You will not find a better gym. The people who work there also are all amazing people.

Fantastic experience: LOVE this place! I recommend FitCon to everyone! The facility, atmosphere, staff, classes and trainers are awesome.

Fantastic experience: Fitness Concepts is amazing! It is like my second home and it has helped in so many ways tremendously over the years. I've been an active member for the last five years and am always motivated to keep coming back. It is a wonderful community of people helping you to achieve your goals. There is never enough words to describe all that this gym does and all that you have at your fingertips. Do not hesitate to join and be a part of a great community! :)

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Fitness concepts a number of times since not long after they opened. Just like a lot of people, we joined, stop going, dropped the membership. But in my case: months later tried a new place- didn't like it, went back to Fit Con. Stopped again. repeat.. I did this a few times and always end up back here. Fitness Concepts is where I always end up and is where I am going to stay from now on. I have been very successful at this place because of all they have to offer when it comes to programs, machines, classes, trainers, etc. The staff gets to you know you and they are passionate about what they do. It is very clean and welcoming. Equipment is taken care of. Can't beat the new 24/7 hours! I have taken a few steps back in the last year but now that I am back, I am sure I will have another success thanks to Fitness Concepts!

Fantastic experience: Fitness Concepts in Gardner is the best! I have been a member for a few years now and I can't say enough about this gym. From the moment you walk in, you are warmly welcomed by the staff and that positive energy and attitude will follow you until you walk out the doors after your workout. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and genuinely care about their clients. They truly practice what they preach and will do everything they can to help you attain your goals. There is something for everyone at FitCon and you will not leave disappointed if you try it out!

Fantastic experience: I was so nervous as I first approached the doors 2 years ago, but then, I was immediately greeted with smiles…I’m talking GENUINE smiles, like they really were happy I was there. I can tell you right now that in the 20 years I've been trying out different gyms, NO gym has even come close to Fitness Concepts and Crossfit696. The staff welcomes you ALWAYS and they know your name before you even badge in. It’s amazing. Never in my life have I felt so at home (previously I felt so self-conscious at any other gym so I'd stop going)…And then I met the trainers and my life was forever changed – for the good! Stop by and check them out, it's worth it!

Fantastic experience: Fitness Concepts is by far the best gym I have ever been to. The staff are friendly and encouraging and the facilities are beyond my standards. The Les Mils classes offered are challenging and push me to my limits in a fun and safe environment. I would suggest this gym to anyone and everyone. All fitness levels are catered to!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! All the coaches are great and very helpful!

Fantastic experience: Great gym and good people

Fantastic experience: My son loved the warriors class definitely wants do the summer course. His father and I plan to sign him up for this class.

Fantastic experience: I met with Matt about a month ago for a consultation. After our conversation, I decided it would be in my best interest to start working with him ASAP. I mentioned to him that I had just finished 8 weeks of PT, and was dealing with a rotator cuff injury. I’ve also had a history of sciatica, neck issues, and stress related problems like, high blood pressure, due to owning a business. I made it clear that I wanted to approach my healing from a holistic standpoint, and that I wanted to overcome these problems without medication. I can honestly say that making the decision to get into the gym, and working with a personal trainer has been one of the BEST decisions that I’ve ever made. I know that Matt has my best interests in mind, and he’s paid close attention to my limitations and restrictions, helping me overcome and work through these challenges! He always goes the extra mile, for example; with my permission, he video records our training sessions, clearly defines and explains the exercises, and points out areas that are being focused on. By doing this, I am able to go home and continue the exercises, so that I’m constantly improving. He even writes up a complete exercise program based on the exercises we did during the day so that I have that for my home routine. I’ve attended a few Fit Edge classes as well. These classes are another extension of the friendly atmosphere. It’s a comfortable and inviting environment, that every single employee at Fitness Concepts promotes. I couldn’t be happier with the commitment and highly individualized attention that I receive as a client of Matt’s.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism This gym makes me feels like we are family. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure my needs are met. I love this gym.

Fantastic experience: My friend went here for a bit to do her workouts. Said she took a few classes and always was happy with the instructors. I just recently signed up and so far it seems just as she said. Everything is clean, the environment is non judgmental and I’m excited to keep going and learning about being into fitness as times go on.

Fantastic experience: Lots of space to workout with social distancing, large selection of weights and machines, classes, personal training and more!

Fantastic experience: Fitness concepts is hands down the best gym around. They do the best job to make sure all of us are kept safe and the facility is unbelievably clean. They are always finding ways to bring new amazing things to the gym and have set the tone for an incredible family community. They welcome everyone with open arms. I highly recommend going to fitness concepts it’s more then just a gym.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Fitness Concepts for the past 8 years. I’ve tried many gyms over the past 50 years and this is far and away the best! The facilities are second to none, the staff is friendly and professional, the coaches are the best in the business. The gym is open again after being closed since March, and they are making every effort to keep people safe from COVID-19. I recommend Fitness Concepts wholeheartedly.

Fantastic experience: My family and I have been at Fitness Concepts since they opened. Their knowledge and dedication to their members and staff is amazing!!

However I do miss Run for a Beer. Thanks fitness concepts

Fantastic experience: Fitness Concepts is an absolutely fantastic Health Club! I am extremely proud to say that I have been a member for 14 years. The staff is excellent and very willing to help you.

The atmosphere at FC is so positive that you automatically want to succeed. I highly recommend FC for anyone that wants to improve their health as well as their physical fitness! Nancy Y.

Fantastic experience: Great place, friendly, dedicated trainers

Fantastic experience: I'm so proud to say I go to fitness concepts! Everyone from the owners to the staff go above and beyond to be as helpful as you need to get your fitness journey going or to just answer any questions you may have. As the pandemic goes on I don"t worry about going there and it not being clean and disinfected. I've seen many staff members and members helping to put equipment away and cleaning at all times of the day. there are many times i say i'll be home soon and itsa hrs later the community at fitness concepts is like family. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else! Great job everyone keeping up the great job at keeping us safe and healthy

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Fitness Concepts for many years and cannot say enough good things about them. The owner and staff are super friendly and always willing to assist wherever they can. The facility is well maintained and always clean. They offer a great variety of fitness options including a great selection of group fitness classes, personal training sessions and the outside Bear Crawl Park facility to allow you to switch it up from time to time instead of getting stuck in the same old routine every day. I would highly recommend Fitness Concepts to any one looking to sign up for a gym membership!

Fantastic experience: Fitness Concepts is not your ordinary “gym.” It’s a lifestyle in which anyone can set goals, and achieve them with the unmatched expertise, unwavering support, and kindness shown by the trainers, staff, and gym members. How fortunate I am to have a fitness family who help make my daily commitment to my health an easy decision!

Fantastic experience: My home away from home for the last 4 years! This is no ordinary fitness center! The staff/trainers are always friendly, helpful, and courteous, the gym floor has more than enough equipment, and they offer a lot of group fitness classes and events (if that’s something that you’re interested in) some of which are included in the normal gym membership. It’s a little pricier than some of the other gyms in the area, but you get what you pay for!
