Testimonials

Karen Astheimer

The facility is very clean and newly renovated, equipment is top quality and I'm never disappointed with my training sessions. I have been training with Matt for several years, his approach in directing each exercise has brought me results exceeding those of any other trainer.

Geoff F

I came to B&G from another area gym, following my trainer, whom have worked with for years and am glad I did. This is a relatively small gym, with plenty of equipment focused on free weights, kettlebells, bands and bodyweight, and allows for the things you work on during a training session to be translated to home. would highly recommend for people looking to add or maintain strength, explosiveness and mobility.

You have helped me so much since the summer. I have never felt stronger or more confident in myself since I can remember. I've dreaded going to the gym since i was in high school and now i wake up at 5:30 am literally excited. Truly truly thankful for you. You are the best.
