Buffalo Fit House

Experiencia fantástica: My husband (71) and I (66)have been going to FitHouse for 11years. We feel this is an investment in our future, our health and mobility. Chris Rombola is very knowledgeable about your body and nutrition and he is always willing to share his knowledge about diet and exercise. We are stronger and healthier than we have ever been. Getting older isn’t an easy thing, but Chris gives us the tools to continue to live our lives on our terms and not be restricted by our body or mind. We feel good and don’t intend to stop.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been with Chris Rumbola for over 10 years. The one thing that I have always said when people ask me why I continue to workout at my age (71) is so I can keep being active and enjoy life, rather than sit around complaining about what I can’t do! Chris practices what he preaches… you see that from the moment you walk into the gym; his attitude and enthusiasm is infectious. His knowledge of human anatomy is equivalent to what a Physical Therapists knows, having been to several over the years. His ability to achieve results, while keeping your health and physical limitations in the forefront show his interest in you the person, not just a client.

Experiencia fantástica: I'm in my mid 70's & have been going to Fithouse for @ 10yrs.Chris Rombola is seriously concerned about your overall health & will create a specific program for you. He is easy going and well versed. He knows every tiny muscle in your body & knows how to get the maximum results for each individual . I have increased range of motion, more strength & less pain since working with Chris. You will be pleased with your experience & results.

Experiencia fantástica: Fit House is an amazing place to go if your looking for the best personal trainer I highly suggest going and seeing Chris Rombola you won’t regret it and because of the hard work I have put in and with the guidance of Chris I am down 100.5 pounds and also you make a a lot of good friends while you are their .

Experiencia fantástica: I just want to share a bit about my experience at the gym — it’s honestly been one of the best decisions I’ve made. From day one, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the people were motivating. I’ve gained not only strength and confidence but also a whole new level of consistency and drive. A huge shoutout to Chris, my trainer, who made the journey even better. He’s patient, respectful, and always there to motivate you, no matter how busy the gym gets. Chris genuinely cares about your progress and pushes you to be your best every session. This gym truly stands out — great energy, great people, and real results. If you’re looking for a place to start or restart your fitness journey, I 100% recommend checking it out. You’ll feel supported, challenged, and inspired every step of the way.

Experiencia fantástica: I started training with Chris about seven years ago, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the moment I met him, his energy, positivity, and genuine passion for helping people completely stood out. You can tell he truly loves what he does, and that makes all the difference. Over the years, Chris and Gina have helped me transform not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. They don’t just train you — they teach you how to take care of your body, fuel it properly, and stay consistent no matter what life brings. Their encouragement and belief in you go far beyond the gym. Chris has a true gift for helping people become stronger, more confident, and capable. The environment they’ve built is uplifting, supportive, and full of purpose. If you’re looking for more than just a trainer — if you want real growth and lasting results — I can’t recommend them enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Not just one of the best trainers you’ll ever meet, but also your greatest supporter, and amazing friend. The community here is also the best, everyone supports each other and you’ll make great friends, I can’t speak enough about it.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been a member of FitHouse for 10 years now and have seen amazing results. I have gained muscle and have felt better than I have in years. One on one training has made all the difference. I wouldn’t jeopardize my health by going anywhere else.

Experiencia negativa: Great concept at the same time it's way too expensive not sustainable every month.

Experiencia fantástica: This is such a great place! Chris and Kristen are both excellent trainers who truly care about their clients. I resisted strength training my whole life, and my only regret is I didn’t start sooner. Fithouse is truly a non-judgmental atmosphere filled with like minded people who just want to get strong and be healthy. Chris really listens and works around any issues or concerns with his clients. He is patient with beginners and provides the encouragement needed to push hard and be accomplished. He is the heart of that gym, and makes every work out enjoyable.

Experiencia fantástica: Just try.

Experiencia fantástica: Great workout routines. Amazing staff!

Experiencia fantástica: FITHOUSE IS THE PLACE TO BE IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH AND FITNESS. CHRIS IS ATTENTIVE TO YOUR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS AND GOALS. HE IS THERE TO SUPPORT AND MOTIVATE YOU ON ULUR JOURNEY. GIVE THEM A TRY I T IS WORTH EVERY PENNY.... PRICELESS!

Experiencia fantástica: I started at the fit house around 7 years ago, when I started I was around 13, as all the other people say, I could literally barely lift a 3 lb dumbbell. With the help of Chris and Gina and their training regimen, I am now able to lift ten times what I used to. Chris is an amazing teacher and an even better person. He is a great coach and is very easy to learn from and is so knowledgeable at what he does. Depending on your goal, he can tailor a workout or a meal plan to help you reach it. Last of all they are the salt of the earth, they honestly take care of their people and bring an experience like no other. Thank you Chris and Gina!

Experiencia fantástica: I have found a real sense of community, encouragement, and accountability at Fit House with Kristen P! I've been going here for over a year and have seen and felt the changes in my strength abilities and am so grateful to have a gym full of people who don't judge your capabilities when it comes to fitness! There is also a great network of women who come to Fit House - if you are a woman who doesn't feel comfortable working out in more traditional gyms, Fit House offers a safe space for women of all ages to feel safe in their work out experience.

Experiencia fantástica: I've been a client at Fit House for a year and a half. It has been a total game changer for me! I was looking for a change after the same old gym routine sort of stopped working for me. I got bored and wasn't seeing the results I wanted. I had always belonged to a gym and worked out in some capacity - but never strength training. I was nervous and wasn't sure it was the right thing for me. I didn't want to get "big" or "bulky" and I thought that was what strength training would do. Chris is my trainer and he assured me that if I stuck with his detailed and tailored program, I would get the results I was desiring - toned and lean NOT big or bulky. It wasn't long after I started, that I saw a difference - and more importantly to me, FELT a difference. I was stronger than I had ever been, and leaner. It was so motivating! I ended up adding an extra workout day to my weekly schedule. I didn't think I'd have the time, but I MADE time. This is my health insurance. There is nothing more important than taking care of yourself so you can be there for the people who need you - and also be there for YOURSELF! Chris is a fantastic trainer for many reasons, but especially because he genuinely wants you to succeed. He cares. He gets excited when you achieve a goal - he celebrates, as does everyone else at Fit House! It's a warm and friendly crew no matter when you go. Everyone cheers everyone on. There's no judging. It's comfortable. I am so grateful that I found Fit House, and so grateful for the knowledgeable and amazing trainers - and of course, SO grateful to have given strength training a shot!! Turns out it's just what I needed!!

Experiencia fantástica: When I first started at Fit House 2.5 years ago, I could barely squat and couldn't get up off the floor without crawling to something I could hold onto. Split squats? Lunges? Nope. My hips and glutes were so weak due to previous hip replacements but Chris and Gina worked with me and gave me tips and modifications to help me build strength in those areas. I've had repeated issues with my R biceps/shoulder and again, I was given modifications to help build strength and increase mobility. Fast forward to today: I no longer have to crawl to stand! I can straighten my R arm almost fully and can do splits squats and reverse lunges with weights. Next up? Walking lunges. Stay tuned!!

Experiencia fantástica: Chris at Fit House is a great trainer. His knowledge of how the muscles in the body work together and how to strategically target different parts of the muscle to build overall full-body strength and minimize imbalances is unparalleled. He puts a lot of thought into designing the workouts, which change approximately every 4-6 weeks to prevent plateaus and to work on both muscular strength and endurance of the whole body. Chris circulates the gym throughout each session to make sure that clients are doing the exercises correctly to minimize the chance of injury and to ensure that the most benefit is gained from each rep through proper form. The fist bump at the end of each session is great for one's mental health. The atmosphere is friendly and full of "regular people" and there is a place for everyone.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been training with Kristen at Fit House since 2018 and it’s been a game changer. Kristen took me from not being able to squat on to a seat because my knees were in so much pain to continuing to lift, even through injuries, and stay strong. I’ve been able to do things physically I never imagined but the biggest surprise was how it’s helped me build my own confidence and mental strength. I find myself using the same mental tools I use at the gym to help me check my thinking when other challenges arise. Also, I’ve utilized nutrition coaching throughout the years and it’s helped me understand food and nutrients as well as develop healthier habits around my own nutritional needs. I can’t say enough good about training with Kristen and Fit House.

Experiencia fantástica: Chris is highly attentive to your individual needs and works with you to ensure they are met. With his extensive knowledge of physiology, he excels at explaining how small adjustments to exercises can lead to significant improvements.

Experiencia fantástica: Chris will help you build strength within a positive, motivating, nonjudgmental environment. Fithouse welcomes people of diverse abilities, ages, and body types. I’m glad that I found FitHouse. A year and a half ago I never imagined I’d be lifting the weights I am now or that I'd actually be able to things like squats - repeatedly, with a bar on my back! It’s also good to support a small local business instead of a corporate gym. Chris is also a wonderful human being, one of those rare people who is authentic. Chris cares deeply about his clients and is passionate about his work. He shares his wealth of knowledge in many topics, in addition to being hilarious and easy to joke around with.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to fithouse for a few years and at 50+ years am the strongest I have ever been. Well that's a little embarrassing. Anyways, Christopher is extremely knowledgeable and can communicate what to do, how to do it, and why. There is logic and natural progression behind the training program. Because of Chris and FH, I have an infinitely better grasp on good, healthy nutrition and more importantly what works for me and while sugar/carb addiction is still a struggle sometimes, I have better tools on beating that and can get back on track. I have seen far more progress than I could ever have imagined. PS I don't know how to change my name on google account.

Experiencia fantástica: When I started my journey at fithouse I was completely inexperienced. With Chris' knowledge and guidance, I was able to achieve levels of strength and endurance that I never thought were obtainable. I noticed an uptick in daily energy, increased mood, and an overall better lifestyle. When I say that the 12-month experience changed my life, I mean it. I'd recommend anyone to try it out.

Experiencia fantástica: Just celebrated 2 years working out at FitHouse and I am so happy with the results along with a new group of friends. Strength training has given me more energy and our programs keep challenging me to ensure even better results. When my friends and family ask how I got so toned, I quickly respond Chris at FitHouse! Chris is continuously learning and educating us on how to be our best today, so we can continue on our wellbeing journey.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been a client in Chris’s small group training program for almost two years and am hands down, the strongest I’ve ever been! I enjoy the tailored and structured program, the camaraderie among the group, and the efficiency of the training model. I’ll be honest— it’s the most expensive fitness service/program I’ve ever paid for. But it’s also the best one yet. If you are committed to showing up and putting in the effort, you’ll have a great experience.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been working out Fit House for almost a year now and the results have been amazing! When I started, I was terrified as I had no experience and was very out of shape. Chris created a program to get me started that built both my confidence and my strength. I have lost almost 100lbs. since I started at Fit House and I am confident I am the strongest I have ever been in my life. Thank you Fit House!

Experiencia fantástica: I love fit house and my trainer Molly! "In molly we trust" ❤️ She keeps me motivated and working towards my fitness goals with tailored monthly workout plans!

Experiencia fantástica: Fit House is an amazing gym ! I have known Chris and Gina for a long time . They are very knowledgeable with nutrition, detoxification, and training. Friendly environment too ! A great gym to get healthy and train in !

Experiencia fantástica: I have been training at Fit House for over 7 years. I train 4 days per week with Chris. His expertise in the field is beyond compare. My results have been great! I am 66 years young and in better shape than I have ever been. I really have to say the cost is an investment into my healthy future and the friends I have made there are the bonus benefits!!

Experiencia fantástica: For the past 7 years I have been part of the Fit House family. This experience has changed my life in ways I could not have imagined and has proved to be one of the best decisions about my health I have made. Not only have I lost weight and inches, but I am the strongest I have ever been. My workouts change regularly, are tailored to my individual needs, and are always challenging and fun. As a result of a fall over 20 years ago, I suffer from a herniated disc in my back. I live with daily pain, which at times, is debilitating. For years I was hesitant to exercise regularly because I was afraid my pain would worsen. I could not have been more wrong! Without question, my backs now stronger than it has ever been. On days I wake up with pain, I cannot wait to get to Fit House because I know that 20 minutes into my workout it will be gone. Chris is amazing at pairing me with the perfect exercises and is committed to ensuring each are performed correctly. I appreciate Chris' responsiveness to my changing needs. In 2019, outpatient surgery forced me to stay away from exercise and weight training for months. Once I was able to resume, I was hesitant about lifting weights. Chris modified my workouts and closely monitored my progress. The comprehensive approach Fit House provides has helped to build my confidence in exercise and weight training. Through workouts 4 days a week, my flexibility has improved dramatically. Fit House's program has increased my energy level, significantly decreased my daily pain, and significantly improved my overall quality of life. Chris and Gina are professional, caring and compassionate people. In 2018 I needed to take time off to take care of my mom til she passed. In 2019 I needed to have surgery and then take care of another family member. in 2022 my dad passed away. All those times, Chris and Gina were so supportive. Chris offered to freeze my membership for as long as I needed! No questions asked! You won't get that at any other gym! If you are not part of the Fit House family, what are you waiting for? You won't regret it. It will change your life for the better!

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot say enough good things about Chris and Fithouse. I’ve lost 50+ pounds training with Chris, and have kept it off for three years now. His positivity, encouragement, and knowledge helped me get to a place where I look better, I feel better about myself, feel better mentally, and also just became much healthier overall. The environment is absolutely amazing - everyone lifts each other up and encourages each other. I could not think of a better place to train or a better trainer to have.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been at Fit House for over two years now. I can’t see myself leaving here! I found it’s become my Happy Place! I’m stronger than I’ve ever been. Everyone is super friendly and supportive! Chris is super knowledgeable and passionate about the workouts he puts together for us. I love knowing what I have to do when I get there. This makes for a super productive workouts. Chris helps and guides us through each workout. They also have great customized nutrition programs if you want.

Experiencia fantástica: I love the flexibility and the engineered programs created for my specific fitness goals.

Experiencia fantástica: I've been working out at Fit House since it opened in 2013, and I cannot imagine frequenting any other gym. The community environment and the supportive staff and clients make gym time a pleasure. I brought my own clients there in 2016 so they, too, could benefit in our training sessions from the Fit House family. This is a great gym for both beginners and advanced trainees.

Experiencia fantástica: I began working with Chris and Gina a little over a year ago and I can honestly say doing so has transformed my understanding of “healthy”. Chris is incredibly knowledgeable on exercise and nutrition, and his incredible enthusiasm for both is contagious. I enrolled in both the fitness and nutrition programs and both were very well planned out and engaging. In the group sessions, Chris offers a tremendous amount of individual attention. I am approaching 40 and feel the best I ever have, and now my kids have taken an interest in fitness as well. I would strongly recommend Fithouse to anyone seeking a long term and sustainable approach to fitness.

Experiencia fantástica: My wife and I are in the best shape of our lives and most importantly, we’re doing it together! We’ve failed many times before, that’s before we met Chris and Gina. They are the secret sauce and two of our favorite people. We recommend them to everyone. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Have been working with them for 5 years and absolutely love them ! My body has shown nothing but progress since I started working with them. The meal plans and workouts I receive benefits me very well and helps me learn how to treat my body!

Experiencia fantástica: I am so happy to be back working with Chris and Gina. When I was in Buffalo Chris help me lose 50lbs. I have relocated to Texas, and gained my weight back. So I reached out to Chris when I had, had enough of struggling with my weight again. Well I am SO happy to say that in just 3 weeks I am down 15lbs. It has been hard work and I am committed to the process. I chat with Gina each week on my nutrition. So happy to have her guiding me with my food, which in the past has been my weakness. The workouts from Chris have been great. I have alot of work ahead of me. But, for the first time in a long while, I feel in control. I feel great! I know with their help and guidance I will succeed. I would definitely recommend Fithouse to everyone. Their knowledge and great approach is like no other! Most of all they truly live what teach. Thank you Chris and Gina!

Experiencia fantástica: Gina and Chris are the most dedicated business owners I’ve encountered. They eat breathe and sleep Fithouse. They take their role in changing peoples lives for the better very seriously. When you commit yourself to the work they’ll commit to being by your side throughout your journey!

Experiencia fantástica: Chris Rombola is an awesome and inspiring trainer. He has helped me to build muscle and strength despite some physical limitations. Chris is so knowledgeable and flexible that he always finds a way to modify my program so that I can continue to achieve my goals. Chris and Gina have both helped me to adopt a healthier lifestyle. If you want to be part of a fit family join fithouse.

Experiencia positiva: Great trainers with an excellent facility

Experiencia fantástica: I used to feel intimidated when I walked into a gym. I was overwhelmed by the people and by ALL of the different machines (I’m more so used to a yoga studio). The entire staff at Fit House truly makes me feel like I am a part of the FIT Family. The people in general who I train with (people who I’ve never met before) makes working out more fun and more motivating. Everyone is so friendly!!! (Yes, I’m being serious). You’ll hear laughter, you’ll see smiles, you’ll see sweat, you’ll hear grunts, and you’ll see tears. Some days it’s so hard for me to peel off that band aid and step into the gym. However, since we are all there to motivate and support one another, this makes that thought dissolve immediately and I’m ALWAYS grateful that I pushed myself (which is half the battle). It’s a smaller gym size (which I love) and I receive the one on one attention that I need. Both Chris and Gina are phenomenal. I am not the easiest person to train (I tend to feel overwhelmed and need more guidance and modeling). Both Gina and Chris are patient, supportive, and are excellent trainers. I never feel intimidated or like I’m being talked down to. When I hurt my knee, both were so accommodating and made different exercises for me to do. They actually listened to me and tailored my training session based on my abilities. I love learning more about proper form when using weights and machines. I love seeing how much stronger I am now both mentally and physically. I’ve noticed a huge difference (strength wise) when I have my yoga practice. I have re-gained my energy, my confidence, and truly have never felt better! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Experiencia fantástica: Chris and Gina form the Dynamic Duo of personal training. Fithouse is THE place to train in Buffalo NY. Chris is the most caring and supportive trainer whose knowledge of both exercise and nutrition are unsurpassed! The atmosphere and camaraderie in the gym are fantastic!!

Experiencia fantástica: Been coming for years. Family, community environment. Chris cares about his customers and even lets me bring my daughter when I can't get a babysitter. Have lost over 30lbs but even better, I've kept it off for over two years and am still losing. Am a better and more active mom for my kids. Thanks everyone at Fithouse!

Experiencia fantástica: I was always shy about getting a personal trainer. On a friend’s recommendation, my husband and I took the plunge. It was one of the best decisions we have ever made. With Chris’ guidance, I lost over 55 pounds and Tom lost 30. Even better, we took control of our lives again, and made a lifestyle change that we now pass on to our children. We have since moved from Buffalo and have never been able to replace Chris. His expertise, encouragement, and kindness are one of a kind. Our three years working with him changed our lives. He even let our children come in one day, free of charge, and taught them some basic weight training. It sparked an interest that they continue today. Thank you for the kindness. We keep up with you on Facebook and your wife looks just lovely.

Experiencia fantástica: Chris has helped take my fitness to the next level. Not only is the space incredible and have more than you could know what to do with, but he's got to be one of THE most knowledgeable and accommodating trainers out there. You want to beat the plateau get in the best shape ever, this is your place

Experiencia negativa: This man charged me for sessions that I couldn’t attend while I was taking care of my dying father. I asked him to pause my account during this time and he refused. He then proceeded to take me to small claims court for the remaining amount of my contract when I told him I felt what he did was unethical and I no long felt comfortable working with someone that takes advantage of their clients. Beware of the contract!!!
