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!
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.
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 hes 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
Been coming for years. Family, community environment. Chris cares about his customers and even lets me bring my daughter when I cant get a babysitter. Have lost over 30lbs but even better, Ive 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!
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!!
I trained with Chris for over a year. Unfortunately, I didn’t see the results that I would have liked. The training sessions are EXTREMELY expensive for small group training. Also, I trained with a variety of people of different ages, genders, and body types. Clients’ needs are all different, but Chris always had us doing the same workouts. Which would be fine if the sessions weren’t more expensive than individual training almost anywhere else. I also wish he had kept track of our weights and our reps. There were also people that Chris seemed to spend more time with in the groups, and it often seemed more like socialization than training. I felt for the money I was spending and the heavy weights I was lifting, I should have been receiving more individualized attention. Everything outside of my sessions cost extra too. My “individualized” workout and eating plan sent through e-mail was the exact same as the one everyone else received. Beware the contract as well because it never specifies what will happen if you are injured or cannot attend sessions due to medical or family issues. From what I’ve gathered, it’s extremely difficult to get out of a contract. He’s even taken clients to small claims court! Finally, before joining I would check anyone’s certifications, as they dont appear to be listed on the website. Bottom line: not worth the cost; youre better off doing group classes somewhere else for a quarter of the cost.
I have had the privilege of working with Chris and Gina for many years. They are experts at what they do and the knowledge I have gained from working with them has been invaluable. Throughout my years with Chris, he has been extremely professional and shown flexibility in scheduling and making up missed sessions, for which I am so grateful for as a busy mom and military spouse. I am a stronger and healthier individual because of my time with them.
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!
I began my fitness and nutrition quest with Chris and Gina 3 years ago. They provided my husband and I with the most comprehensive nutrition and fitness plan ever! This was not just a short-term plan either, to drop weight temporarily, but rather a life plan for good nutrition, a healthy body, and one we can be proud walking around in even as we pass from one decade into another. The wealth of information has benefited my wholefamily, not just the adults. This makes me so happy as my kids will be set up for success without many of the pitfalls that most of us encounter before we had all this information. Chris and Gina continue to provide new information, constant motivation, and sound advice for sustainable, long-ten success! You can’t find this kind of knowledge and support in ANY commercial gym!
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!
Chris Rombola is the BEST trainer I’ve ever had. I trained in multiple gyms before finding him, and honestly I hit the jackpot when I found him. Before meeting Chris, I had lost weight with a nutrition program from another gym, but I was just skinny fat. The boot camp style workouts I was doing at the other gym were not getting me to where I wanted to be.Chris sent me up with an individualized strength training program and nutrition plan. I lost 20+ pounds, but more importantly I am now LEAN and TONED. I can see muscles I never knew I had, I’m eating more food now than I was ever allowed to before on other nutrition plans and I feel STRONG.I wouldn’t know what to do if it wasn’t for Chris. If you go into a gym and don’t have a plan, you need Chris Rombola in your life. He will provide you with a structured strength training program that builds off the previous program.What I love most about Chris is that he takes his continuing education very seriously and is always learning to improve the service he provides to us.Not to mention, I love working out at Fit House! Everyone is so nice, it’s so easy to make friends and just a beautiful facility to workout in.I would definitely skip the $10 commercial gym membership and hire someone that knows what they are doing!!!!Thanks Chris!!!!!
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!
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.
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!
I’ve been training with Chris for the past 6 years and in that time, my body has changed so much it’s truly remarkable! I began as a client because I was getting married (like we all do haha) but I couldn’t stop because Chris’s passion rubbed off on me, and the results I was getting were addicting. I moved to NYC and couldn’t find anyone who was as knowledgeable or as passionate as Chris. To have this resource in Buffalo is amazing. I don’t think people really understand the quality of the services offered here. In NYC you’d pay 3 times as much for half the knowledge and personal attention. Chris still trains me online and sends me my workouts and nutrition monthly. Whenever I come to Buffalo to visit, I work out at Fithouse and grow more and more envious of everyone who gets to train there every week. It’s a supportive, fun, and productive environment dedicated to helping everyone reach their personal goals. Fithouse has changed my life into a healthier and happier one. I only wish I lived closer!
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!!!
Great trainers with an excellent facility
