I absolutely LOVE going to the gym when it’s PLF! I feel motivated and cared for as a person. I really love the private training rooms; the privacy provides a safe environment to push myself and not feel dumb like I have in other gyms. I have seen so many personal gains in the 4 months I’ve been coming here. Well worth the cost!

Our daughter was a member at Personal Fitness during her time at OSU. We cant say enough great things about her experience there. The owners are extrodinarily caring, professional and well educated on all aspects of fitness and nutrition. Her trainers had advanced certification in several fitness modalities, patient when necessary; however, certaily motivating in their work. Visits to Personal Level were amongst her very favorite things to do while at school and as we talk about new fitness centers in her new location, we both know how difficult it will be to have the same experience. Personal Level- youve set the bar extremely high and thank you so much for taking such good care of our daughter!!

I’ve trained at PLF for about a year and a half. I could not recommend them more strongly. The trainers are professionals who really care. The results have been really amazing. I truly look forward to my sessions which has made it sustainable for me.

The trainers are all personable and knowledgeable. The gym itself is clean. The training rooms are all essentially private. Despite the pandemic, it feels like a very safe environment compared to most gyms.

Having previously worked with PLF in the gym years ago, I came back to them when they started offering training sessions over Zoom during Safer At Home guidelines. I received a free consultation and home gym set up session. The staff are always positive and friendly but push you to get the most out of your workouts. They do a great job of explaining and demonstrating exercises even though we are not in the gym together. I have lost several pounds and clearly gained muscle. I look forward to my workouts with their support and encouragement!

UPDATE: 5 Months later, I am still working out three times a week. I feel so much better, I am down 16 inches overall. My workouts are strong, my balance has gotten so much better. In these tough times, it is nice to go workout in a studio that is concerned about the trainers really care about helping you get the most out of your workouts. Typically a different trainer each session. I look forward to my workouts! Check them out - you are worth it!After years of being very sedentary I knew l needed to make a change. Being in my early 60’s I realized my balance was off. Last thing l wanted to do was take a fall or hurt myself.I started at Personal Level Fitness in February 2020. During the stay at home Covid period they offered online workouts via video sessions!I really could tell things were changing for me - working on balance and just plain moving was a goal I met. Once we were back in the studio. My workouts changed - new routines and heavier weights - l noticed little things - muscles in my arms - a firmer mid-section. Lower Blood Pressure! The weight is starting to come off with nutrition guidance too helps me realize l am on the right track.The sessions are great and not boring - you work with all the trainers too! Not one person doing the same routine. All the trainers are professional and personal too!Looking to make a change - I recommend checking out the facility - you wont be disappointed!

I have been a client at PLF for almost a year. I find all of the employees to be professional, friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, and sincere. They are always welcoming and encouraging. While some people may prefer working with the same trainer, I find I enjoy the rotation. Each trainer has his/her own expertise and training style, which prevents stagnation and complacency when training. They are always ready to share their knowledge and seem genuinely concerned and interested in not only your fitness goals, but also your well being. As a client, you come to realize that the question, whats for dinner, has taken on new meaning. Its not meager small-talk at PLF; its actually the staff ensuring that your fitness experience is holistic and doesnt end when you leave the training room or the cardio lineup. As for drawbacks, the primary ones are that the cardio space is limited and the equipment could be updated. However, I sort of consider this area a bonus and the equipment in the training rooms (which are spacious) is all top-notch. The final drawback for me is expense, but they are very open about their pricing plans and, really, good things cost money (plus I dont have a lot to compare it to). Despite those, I still give them 5 stars. Overall, I highly recommend PLF for anyone of any fitness level who wants an experience to grow and learn with the help of a quality staff and environment.

I highly recommend Personal Level Fitness for anyone who is looking for a personalized workout plan. The best part about it is they truly take your goals into account and design the training schedule/sessions specifically for you. In only a few months I have already made a good deal of progress in getting stronger and healthier. I also think its perfect for people who are anxious about exercising. The trainers are all very kind and encouraging. You get to work with and get to know all the trainers there, which is great because they all have different styles. Do yourself a favor and start working with this team!

Before COVID hit, I felt (and was reasonably fit), I spent a lot of time outdoors and my eating habits were good (rarely ate gluten, very little red meat, almost no (added) sugar...) then, when I moved to working at home and drastically changing our family routine, my habits shifted, I gained 40 lbs in about 7 months and also became more sedentary (and you know how that spiral goes!) Enter Personal Level Fitness (PLF); I knew I wanted help to get back on track and I also wanted to be as safe as possible re: COVID, so PLF was the perfect solution. As soon as I spoke to Alex on the phone I was sold. I could tell she understood what I needed, she listened (shes a great listener), she didnt over-promise and I knew by her forthrightness and honesty that PLF would be a good fit...From the time I did my first fitness assessment, through my work with all the members of her team--Thank you, Megan, John, Carlos, Shay-lon and Brittany! You are all great motivators; you are all kind and friendly; you all know your stuff and you each bring your particular talents to the workouts--I have felt inspired and supported...I now feel like I am back on track and re-enthused about working out, thanks to Alex, Bernie and the PLF trainers. Kudos for putting together a stellar team.

I started with Personal Level Fitness in October of 2018 and have enjoyed the experience. It doesn’t matter which trainer you get; each one pushes me to do the best I can. And most times they know better than me as to what weights I can handle. I would laugh at them when they would hand me a heavy weight then I would be surprised that I could actually do it.

I started at Personal Level Fitness a year ago and am very pleased with the results I’ve achieved. The owners and trainers are friendly, encouraging, and knowledgeable and individualize sessions to help you reach your goals. I love PFL!

Personal level fitness does a great job of holding me accountable and helping to ensure that I get the exercise I need. The trainers are personable and helpful, tailoring workouts specifically to me, and are always asking how they can improve. I’ve seen improvements in both how I look and more importantly, how I feel since I started exercising there. Yes, the cost is more than a gym, but the financial commitment also helps to hold me accountable. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

I joined Personal Level Fitness in August 2017. This is the first time I have ever done any type of weight training (I am 56 years old) and wanted to get into shape and become stronger. Alex and Bernie along with the entire team are welcoming, professional and very helpful. I have a few minor health issues and they are able to customize my workout so I can achieve my goals. I workout 2x per week and enjoy my 45 minutes with the trainer. I am stronger, leaner, and feel so much better! In addition to the workout they also help with nutrition! I really enjoy all aspects of my workout at Personal Level Fitness!!!

I have been a client for 22 months and while the external results have been absolutely positive, the real impact for me has been internal. I have more energy, more stamina and am simply stronger. Alex took a considerable amount of time getting to know me, my motivation, and my goals. About every six weeks we objectively reassess my progress and reset my goals. The Team designs all of my one-on-one work outs around what I want to accomplish. I am very happy that I found Personal Level Fitness and continue to recommend them to others looking for a professional, supportive environment in which to succeed.

I love everything about PLF with the exception of the cardio studio, and that’s more personal preference. The moment you walk in you are greeted by an upbeat personal trainer who is ready to get your workout started. You move, sweat, and maybe even groan a little bit during your workout with PLF trainers. They start you where you are comfortable, but that’s it. From there, they continually challenge you to set goals and improve your performance. And whereas other trainers might push a little too much, PLF trainers take the time to ask you how your body is feeling each day so that if necessary they can modify or take it easy so you are still getting the workout you want while giving your body the recovery needs. Now, the reason I don’t like the cardio room is because I like to disappear in the sea of treadmills so the focus isn’t on me. At PLF, your cardio time is your own but it’s a limited space and a bit of a tight squeeze.

I have been a client of Personal Level Fitness since the beginning of May. My two goals were to lose weight and to gain stamina. At this point I have lost 36 pounds and have decreased my resting heart rate and my heart rate with exertion. The center has a staff of 6 trainers who have their own individual variation of exercises plus a three week rotation of increased or decreased weight and/or increased or decreased repetitions. Therefore, my body is always challenged differently at each session. Nutrition is not an afterthought, and the trainers will check food logs daily and make suggestions of differing foods and recipes. The staff was quick to learn my name, my interests and my weekly and long term goals. The also make it a point to introduce clients to each other. I feel more like a member of a family than a member of a gym. Each of the three work out areas is private so I dont feel like I need to compete or be embarrassed by what I can and cant do. The trainers pushed me to reach my goals but also provided lots of encouragement along the way. Working out at Personal Level Fitness is not inexpensive. It is, on the other hand, a great deal since, with so much personal attention, I have been able to achieve both my weekly and long terms goals.

Ive been going to Personal Level Fitness for about 6 months. From the first day I felt welcomed and valued as a client. The level of service and professionalism is unmatched. The trainers are well informed, highly knowledgeable, and very creative when designing your workout and offering nutrition assistance. The Styku technology that they offer lets you see the visual results of your hard work. You are able to watch the shape of your body change, your body fat lower, and your flexibility and muscle mass increase. The personal touch of the owners makes you feel like you belong there. They build strong relationships and really get to know their clients. I HIGHLY recommend them!

It is a very friendly place with a fresh bouquet of flowers greeting you and a welcoming hello from everyone working there. Staffs are excellent, pushing you just enough so that you can improve your overall fitness. Rather than working with one individual trainer, you work with everyone in the team of six or severn, which allows you to experience different styles of training. And, you train in a one room in an array of adjacent rooms, which gives privacy without being closed in. It also comes with regular fitness assessment so that you can adjust your training regimen and/or eating habits. You occasionally get a friendly card from staffs, which is a sweet addition to a general atmosphere of being part of a family..

I love Personal Level Fitness! I DO NOT enjoy working out as a rule, but the personal attention and guidance I get while working with all the trainers has been a game changer for me. They take into account my specific goals and desires. I have fun every time I go in for a session—it feels like spending time with family, without the guilt and judgement, ha ha!It’s one of the best investments I’ve made in myself, and that commitment keeps me more accountable and motivated. I’d recommend their program to anyone interested in getting real assistance in meeting any wellness goal.

I have been going to Personal Level Fitness for over a year and my experience has been great. I have achieved my goal of increasing my weight and strength. The trainers are always friendly and knowledgeable. I often underestimate what I can do, so it is great to have the trainer there to push me. I highly recommend Personal Level for anyone who may be intimidated about the idea of working out.

Joining Personal Level Fitness was the BEST investment I made in myself. I just completed my 7th assessment ( done ever 6 weeks) and Ive lost 50 lbs and better yet over 38 TOTAL inches ( over 19 inches in my chest, waist, hips). Thats over 3 feet total. In 10 months, Ive only missed 1 week. I was traveling and they gave me a travel workout - so I really had no excuse.....The trainers are great, they keep me on track with my nutrition and make me accountable. It is all about accountability. They remind me its not a diet but healthy choices. They have helped me realize this is a journey and life style change and not a quick fix.I truly feel amazing and I owe it all to Personal Level Fitness! Its worth every penny and then some. Thanks again Alex and team!.

When I first heard about Personal Level Fitness I could tell it was what I needed to get active. I would have an appointment and someone would be waiting on me. Now going on a year I still am with them and feel that much better month by month. Theres more to getting fit than a number on a scale, theres how you make it through your normal tasks without panting, theres how you feel putting on that special outfit that didnt used to fit and most of all the confidence you gain by feeling good about yourself. Thats what the crew of trainers at Personal Level Fitness has done for me.

I am a 51 year old female and have been a member for nearly 3 years now and continue to be so happy with the results that they help me achieve. With their encouragement, I have maintained the improvements in my strength, endurance, muscle tone and overall fitness and flexibility. I have lost over 13 inches overall, 15 lbs, and completed the 75 mile route of Pelotonia this summer. The trainers here are experienced, consistent in their approach, patient and always positive and motivating - while helping me maintain personal accountability. They work with me where I am without ever making me feel negative or down at times when I struggle. I am so pleased to have found this studio.

I have used the training studios at Personal Level Fitness for several years. The staff is very qualified, and always kind. I have several physical impairments and they are always alert to these and provide customized work out guidance. I am very comfortable here, and would not be comfortable in a large public gym. The most recent addition of the Styku provides 3 D scans that indicate opportunities for improvement in your overall fitness and training plans. This takes your fitness planning and goals to a whole other level. The data is used to customize your fitness and nutrition plan.I would certainly recommend this training studio to everyone who values a personal environment.

One size does not fit all at Personal Level Fitness. They spend time with you. They find out what you need and they help you to meet that need.

I have worked with trainers at many different facilities over the years. Ive stuck with Personal Level Fitness now for 10 years. The owners, Alex and Bernie, do an excellent job selecting trainers. Wherever I have been, it is the nature of the business that trainers come and go. What is different here is how well trained the trainers are! No matter who the trainer is (and you can select a specific one), I get the same quality workout. My progress is tracked and the person I am working with knows what I did the last time and whatever conditions are particular to me - like a rotator cuff injury. I personally like the variety of trainers. I get a good workout each time with particular attention to my form and my diet. You can get a personalized nutrition assessment and a bi-monthly fitness assessment to track your progress!

I have been a client at Personal Level Fitness for over a year, and I have been very satisfied with my experience and results. I have learned a lot about nutrition by using the food journals and the myfitnesspal app on my phone. More importantly I have lost weight and inches and improved strength and flexibility. Because I feel better about myself physically I have a much better outlook and can manage the stress of a busy work and family schedule with greater ease. I really enjoy the one on one experience of working with the trainers at Personal Level Fitness. They are fun to work with and they genuinely care about each client. It is a friendly and stress free place to work on self improvement. Come check it out!

PLF has been instrumental in my journey to return to fitness! Balancing work and family left little time for me. Alex and PLF got that and set up early morning workout options (5:15am!!) so I can get up and get my workout in before my family gets out of bed!The trainers are fun and friendly, offering different training styles and options so the workouts are never boring. I have some injury restrictions and they worked with me to come up with ways to get the same results without any pain. The trainers also hold me accountable for my eating habits - checking my food journal at every workout. This makes me think twice before I put something in my mouth!In a few short weeks, I have replaced fat with muscle. My daughter even commented the other day how strong my arms were! Most importantly, I just feel better and I know that has a lot to do with the team at PLF!PLF is a great way to get started on the new you!

I have been coming to Personal Level Fitness for 10 years and now cannot imagine my routine without it! Ive stuck with the PLF fitness regimen longer than any other program Ive ever tried. My body fat percentage has decreased by 13 percent and my lean muscle mass has increased. Cardiovascular health improvements are also obvious not only in a better resting heart rate (a drop from 68 bpm to 61 bpm), but are also evident in my daily routine at home--for example, going up and down stairs, carrying a heavy load and not even breathing hard! I have had a 38 percent improvement in my upper body strength and it now ranks well above average. And last, but not least, I have lost 10 inches in my overall body measurements--woo hoo! All of this would not have been possible without the experienced and knowledgeable staff at PLF. Not only do they hold me accountable and encourage me, but they are fun and welcoming to everyone. The entire atmosphere at PLF is positive and inspiring. I highly recommend PLF to anyone looking to improve their health and fitness and is willing to challenge themselves.
