This is one amazing place. Fitness and health is their agenda. They don’t just teach it, they live it. It’s like working out with friends who will push you to be your personal best. They all feel so sincere in their desire to push their clients to be their best selves. Truly, I did not think it I would feel so good, but I am on my way to a better self because of a friend’s referral to go! So thankful.

BRIDES LOOK NO FURTHER! After getting engaged last year, like most brides, I was ready to get into shape for the big day. I convinced my groom and we searched online for personal training. Internal Kinetics was by far the best choice and came highly recommended!! Weve been working out with Mike since last December and we couldnt have asked for a better trainer. Hes been amazing in helping us to reach our goals. We were nervous to work out as a couple with very different goals, but Mike has been able to cater to each of our specific needs in every session. They offer flexible time slots and a variety of affordable options for training sessions. With our busy work schedules, they always help us make it work with their flexibility. They also offer individual meal plans and at home routines to add in to your every day workout regime. Pam has also been incredible in assisting with my nutritional needs (roadblocks) and gut health. With the weekly weigh ins and accountability from going every week we were able to meet our wedding goals and we plan to continue because its made such a positive change in our every day lives. We cant recommend them enough!!

The whole team is amazing! Their workouts are challenging but enjoyable and always different so they keep you motivated and eager to continue working out.I’ve had the opportunity to train with entire team in several occasions and each of them bring an incredible experience to each workout that inspire you to push your boundaries and become better and stronger.Even more important, the Internal Kinetics team understands that each person and body is different hence your health and fitness needs are different as well, so they help you to understand what you and your body needs through exercise, nutrition and education.

They work hard are dedicated to make sure you reach your goals.You have a choice of unlimited group classes too. Try them out!

I signed up for the February special which consists of 8 sessions. In one week since starting I have lost 2 lbs. Mike is awesome and helps keep me motivated by checking on my diet. The workouts are FUN and different every session.

Ive been working out with Mike for almost a year now (twice a week) and have found my match in a trainer. Mikes ability to understand your personal goals and then structure the perfect workouts around them make him one of kind in my book. The workouts are never the same which is awesome and hell guide you through it all. I sent a few friends to join and theyve had the best experiences and more importantly results! if youre looking for a healthier life style and someone to help guide you professionally (and keeping it fun) then look no more. Internal kinetics is the spot.

If you’re looking for personal training that is unique,this is the place to go. The work outs Mike has me doing are workouts I’ve never seen or done before. Just when you get used to a certain workout,he changes it up on you and your body goes nuts. Such a great feeling! He will have you yelling out crazy noises for sure!

There’s so much to say about Internal Kinetics. But I’ll keep it somewhat short.The facility is top notch. Great welcoming atmosphere and constantly getting new equipment to better serve us as the client.I’ve been training with Mark for the past few months. He found that extra gear that I’ve been searching for and has constantly pushed me to get out of my comfort zone and be comfortable with that. Not an easy thing to do but he makes it easy.The other coaches are great as well. Always taking the time to talk to me about what my goals are and giving me pointers. Whether it be nutrition, working out, what supplements to take or just life in general.I highly recommend Internal Kinetics .

Don’t go to this place! The owner, Mike DiMaio, is very unprofessional and rude. He took my $400 and refuses to refund my money. I filed a Better Business Bureau complaint as well and the business failed to respond to any of the messages from BBB authorities.Mike pressured me into buying a package after I told him repeatedly that I can’t afford it. He then said he would give me a discount which he did not. I have asked for my money back many many times and he refuses to give me my money back for the unused sessions! He never told me the money was non-refundable prior to charging me nor did he put it in writing. All businesses disclose their refund policies prior to charging their customers, but this business does not!

I have been working with Mike since early 2018 and he has proven to be an extremely professional and knowledgeable trainer who has tailored the workouts to fit my style and goals. The passion that he shows for what he does is incredibly motivating. He always has me trying new things, pushing myself and helps make it easy for me to make fitness a part of my life. I highly recommend the team at Internal Kinetics!

Ive known Mike for the longest time and he is a great mentor which is why I decided to sign up for his company. Hes one of the most professional people Ive ever met and the same goes for his team. Ive had the most welcoming experience being a newbie in the fitness realm and everyone there is very hospitable and down to earth ! I 1000% recommend trying one of their programs out! Ive seen and felt a difference.

I started training with Mike 6 months ago to support my running and resolve an ongoing hip issue. Thanks to my work with him,  I have made major improvements in my overall strength, and, have accessed muscles which have been dormant for years. This progress has translated to significant improvements with running and it is motivating me to keep working harder. In addition to being an all-around great person, Mike is a wealth of knowledge. He keeps our sessions fun and challenging. I never know what to expect each work out and it is always something different. Im training for the NYC Marathon this November and Im looking forward to a great race thanks to Mikes support.

Internal Kinetics is hands down the best Personal Training company in the Union County area yet alone the top in NJ. Mike and Pam understand the individuality of each person and that every (BODY) is different! What sets them apart is not just their unique and diverse training styles but the fact that everyone at Internal Kinetics is treated and becomes a big family! If you are looking to achieve a healthy lifestyle; whether you are just starting out, or the elite looking to take your body to the next level, Internal Kinetics family owned and ran business is the place for you!

I’ve been training with Mark for about 6 months now and couldn’t be happier. He really makes working out fun and enjoyable. The gym itself is also extremely nice and has everything you need. 10/10 recommend!

Mike is an extraordinary trainer. His knowledge of physiology, attentiveness to detail, and sensitivity to peoples needs collectively produce results that are unique to each client. No small feat that, since his clients range considerably in size, shape, and age. Over the 4 years Ive been training with Mike, Im still impressed by his inventiveness to create variations of exercises that keep them interesting. He is attuned to every movement, ensuring the proper form to maximize results and avoid injury. He is also unreasonably personable, making the entire experience as enjoyable as a productive workout can be.

Mike at Internal Kinetics has been my weekly personal trainer for about 2 months now and he is awesome. Definitely knows how to keep you motivated and will keep pushing you beyond what you thought you were capable of. Since I joined, Mike has helped me work on my strength and weight and I have seen fantastic results. Thanks Mike!

I have been working with Pam for just a little over a month, and it has already changed my life so much for the better! I am already doing workouts that I never thought I would be able to do thanks to her expert guidance and pushing me just the right amount. Not only that, she has gone above and beyond by showing interest in my nutrition and overall health. My lifestyle has already changed for the better in such a short time. Would highly recommend!!

The best of the best! Mike and the entire Internal Kinetics team are so passionate about their clients and bringing them the results they want. Ive been an athlete my whole life, so when it came to deciding on a trainer and fitness facility, it had to be the right choice.Anyone can tell you what exercises to do, but I believe it takes a great trainer and fitness coach to understand each and every one of their clients needs, goals, and motivations. Mike has been able to coach me through proper nutrition, understands exactly how to push me through, and keeps our workouts fresh. Ive been with Mike at Internal Kinetics for just over a year now and can confidently say that it has changed my life for the better in so many ways.What started out as a step to just get into better shape has now become a part of my lifestyle and I wouldnt trade it for anything. Internal Kinetics is a no brainer and to this day I cant thank them enough for bringing me to the next level in both my training and nutrition. #Believe

I love this place, I love these people! I love #makingmonkeymoves. I have been practicing with Internal Kinetics since April and definitely got stronger, physically and mentally. The most important part for me was to show up, no matter what. Also I love how they make a class plan, every time new moves, it means its not boring at all. All the trainers are friendly and do theire best job to keep this place nice and safe for us . 🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪

I have been training with Pam on and off for about 4 years. I reunited with her a year and a half ago when I got engaged with the goal of losing weight for my wedding but received so much more in the way of support, encouragement and a new approach to health. Besides losing weight, Im stronger, more knowledgeable about fitness/nutrition and have lowered my body fat percentage thus increasing my metabolism. Pam is accommodating, understanding and an excellent trainer and teacher. She truly cares about her clients and besides weekly training she conducts group challenges and monthly outings like paddle boarding and hikes. I look forward to our weekly sessions and have received so many compliments on my results from others. I cant wait to feel confident not only on my wedding day but well beyond! I highly recommend Internal Kinetics for your training needs, no matter how unique they may be!

Pam DiMaio is exactly the kind of personal trainer I need. She is aware of my strengths and weaknesses and always comes up with unique workouts which are geared to helping me reach my goals. She is quick to modify part of my workout if my knee is giving me trouble. Pams repertoire of workouts never ceases to amaze me. She is always positive, and her cheery disposition and encouraging words always manage to make my workouts relatively painless!

My husband and I moved to Westfield about a year ago; we were looking for a new personal trainer in the area. After our initial assessment at Internal Kinetics, we decided to try them out.We are extremely satisfied working with our personal trainer Mark. He always explains the exercises clearly and is able to modify the exercises as needed.Our flexibility and strength as well as our overall health have improved significantly with Marks guidance and encouragement. We are very happy with our decision to train at Internal Kinetics.Joanne and Mike Falk

My wife and I have been training on and off with Pamela for about two years. Life gets busy, but we always find our way back to train with Pamela, who makes fitness fun. She cares not only about you seeing results, but the overall improvement of your body, mind, and spirit. Pamela has become a close friend, and will forever be my favorite trainer: always pushing me to my limits and encouraging me to reach farther and higher in all aspects of my life.

Pam is a great trainer! She always knew how to keep me challenged and pushed me to work my hardest to get to my goals. She is great at what she does and even though I am not currently training with her, she is always willing to help me with any questions I have.I highly recommend her to anyone looking for training!

I started at Internal Kinetics a month ago working with Mike & Mark. I reached a stagnant point in my own trianing - I felt like nothing was changing. After just a month with these guys, I have already dropped 1% body fat and gained a pound of muscle! My ultimate goal is to lose inches while gaining muscle and I am already getting there - seeing and feeling the results. Mike also took time to go over some key nutrition tips to complement the physical work. I am so charged to improve further and know it will happen here. This was the best decision I made! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to start a new journey or kick start what they are already doing!!

Review №32

Best trainer Ive ever had! Every session is personalized to my skill set and goals and always different so I never get bored. The diversity of exercises (indoor/outdoor, core, speed, weights, agility, cardio, balance, grip strength) works the full body, and Im challenged in the best way possible. I have definitely seen muscle transformation, huge leaps in strength, and finessed technique. Im a life-long gym junkie, and Ive had trainers who cookie-cutter programs for all of their clients. That is definitely NOT what happens here. Highly recommended!

I have been working with Pam since late April and it has been a wonderful experience. As someone who wanted to get back into a fitness routine, she worked with me to tailor a plan to my needs. And when I wanted to step it up nutrition wise, she helped me on that front too. She pushes me but also adds a personal element so that I never feel like Im just being coached by a drill sergeant :) I highly recommend Internal Kinetics (Pam and Mike DiMaio) for anyone looking for knowledgeable and personal trainers!

Review №38

In the few months I have spent working 1 on 1 with Mike, I have learned so much about diet, exercise, and wellbeing. The staff at Internal Kinetics are passionate about what they do, professional, and a complete pleasure to be around. They have been making my fitness goals seem attainable… and better yet, I have been seeing serious progress! I am no stranger to the gym, but Mike has been using his extensive knowledge in the industry to help me be more efficient. Not only am I learning how tiny changes make big results, but I am having a great time playing around on the gym equipment you wouldn’t normally find at a typical gym. I came into the gym one day because I figured I would give it a try… I don’t see myself ever leaving. Would rate 10/10 if I could! Keep it up Mike & Team!

I have been with Mike for over two years. He continues to challenge and push me (that is what I asked him to do). Mike always has an alternative to a specific workout in case I am unable to do something. The workouts are different each time I am there so working out is not monotonous.I have been involved in a 30 day challenge with Pam as well. Both Mike and Pam are extremely knowledgeable and safety conscious making sure a routine is done correctly to maximize the benefits.

I have been working out with Mike since October 2016. He is professional, knowledgable about the development of a good workout regimen and he also knows about the nutritional aspects of a balanced program. We do something different each time I go. He pushes me but not beyond my limits.

I am hooked on Internal Kinetics! I have been a member of many gyms and when I actually went, I would spend all my time on cardio machines. I would leave soon after because I didn’t have a plan and grew bored quickly. When a friend asked me to join her for a Bootcamp class at Internal Kinetics, I was nervous to try something new. So glad I did! Every workout is exciting, new, and fun. I have tried things I thought I would only ever see on my Instagram discover page. I am excited to walk in the door. I feel accomplished every time I walk out the door. I have taken classes with Mark, Ian, Mike, and Pam. They are all AMAZING - knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging, everything you want in personal trainers.

My wife and I have been going to Mike and Pam for about 3 months now and we have a lot of fun training with them!

Pam DiMaio is the best trainer around! Not only has she helped me lose the weight Ive gained since college, but Im on my way to returning to my high school weight. And, best of all, she teaches me strength and flexibility exercises to combat the stress of my daily work life. Thats amazing!!Mark DiMaio is excellent at balance and agility training. Plus, his movement training will help with all daily tasks, including weight/agility needed to shovel snow, when the time comes.The new facility in Garwood is a great place to enjoy physical fitness!

I have been In the fitness industry myself for 25 years. I have been working out with a trainer or participating in group fitness classes for the last 10 years. My goals were always the same, get strong, work on my cardio endurance, and lose some weight (which was especially harder as I got older).But luckily I met Mike, and found out that he was an amazing and creative trainer. He worked with me on all the different fitness components along with helping me lose this stubborn middle age weight!!!! He motivated me to stay true to my goals, with words of encouragement, hard core honesty, different meal plans, weekly weigh ins and body fat checks, and a different workout every time that challenged me and made me feel empowered.Im down 10 lbs in 4 months and couldnt be happier.

Review №46

Mike at Internal Kinetics has been my weekly personal trainer for about 9 months. In the beginning, I was just looking for someone to keep me on track during the cold winter months when I rarely want to get out and go for a run and hold myself accountable. Not only did he do that, but he also taught me things about nutrition I never thought of learning myself. He helped me keep a food diary and taught me about all the different ways I should be eating to lose weight and gain muscle. Besides nutrition, the weekly workouts are always wonderful. Ive never done the same thing twice, and as I get stronger he keeps adding new routines to keep me on my toes. Besides all that, hes really patient with my schedule as things pop up once in awhile and I need to switch days. Ive also attended his weekly group class a few times and its a great community that supports each other and is the least judgmental group Ive worked out with.

Review №49

Investing in YOU is the single most important thing you can do, for yourself and for society. Positivity is contagious and Internal Kinetics continues to have a major positive influence on the lives of us trainees.By chance (or fate) I noticed a local deal on Groupon and I liked that the company originated from a young entrepreneurial couple and I wanted to support them. I did not find Internal Kinetics from a recommendation or review. 15 months later, it is still one of the best decisions I’ve made (up there with adopting my dog, Dahlia) to start training here. So I would like to be your recommendation so you can make the decision to start living your best self, too.Since the beginning my goals have changed at least tenfold. It started with a simple desire to tone up and be healthy, and today my goal is unbroken sets of pull ups (never thought I would be able to do a pull up!) Goals are ever changing as I make progress. Each session I leave feeling like, “Yeah that was a terrific use of time. Great workout. Thanks Mike!”But that’s only half of it. Truly the biggest change is my outlook toward fitness and myself. Working out went from something I know everyone should do (but is typically not enjoyable) to the love of a great sweat session and pushing yourself to the next level. Allowing your body to successfully surpass what your mind tells you you’re capable of helps build genuine self-confidence. I am constantly surprising myself with what I can do. Working out is challenging and hard work but can also be very fun and rewarding. My shift in thinking is a direct result of being around such passionate and positive trainers.All bodies are unique and have their own strengths and weaknesses. You may have tight hamstrings, limited mobility in your shoulders, hips, have bad knees, or just simply do not know where to start with a fitness regime- it is undeniably beneficial to go to someone who provides a personalized approach and is extremely knowledgeable to tailor your workouts to YOU. I have 100% trust in what the trainers at Internal Kinetics tell me, which is totally earned and deserved, not my natural go-to. Just like in any field, there is a significant difference in the quality of trainers. I’ve worked with many over the years- at chain gyms such as Retro Fitness, Blink Fitness or Bally’s- luxury mega gyms, such as Lifetime Fitness, also the YMCA… you name it. Internal Kinetics is the best of the best. They know what they are talking about. My goal is to save you disappointment and money from starting somewhere else. I hope this recommendation helps and am sincerely looking forward to meeting you at one of the fun gym events Internal Kinetics puts together!Stay healthy :)

Mike & Pam are one of a kind trainers. Internal Kinetics is not only a place where you work hard to achieve your personal goals but most importantly a place you can call home. At Internal Kinetics, Mike & Pam are your personal trainer, role model, motivator, educator, and friend. Their knowledge, passion, understanding & compassion is what sets them apart. They walk the walk and follow the same advice they give to all of their clients. Mike & Pam have the best personal training qualities. They know how to push you to the limit. I have done Bootcamps with Pam & it was hands down the best Bootcamp I have ever done. She made an innovative circuit that challenged us with modifications if needed. She continuously motivated us throughout the Bootcamp and kept it fun! Pam & Mike have amazing hearts, they make working out FUN, they actually CARE about their clients and WANT them to succeed. They are 150% invested with all their clients and thats why Internal Kinetics is THE BEST personal training company.

Review №53

Ive been with Mike & Pam since March 2013 after being injured and not working out for years. At first, I did 2 times per week for 30min and the first 2 months were very tough to deal with constant sore muscles. Eventually the soreness becomes much more tolerable over time. More recently I do his boot camp class on Monday night for an hr then 1 x 30min session on Thursday nites each week. Internal Kinetics does several things to keep their clients engaged and on track. For one, they do different exercises each week to keep it fresh. They also measure progress and continually find that point of failure in each session to help you grow. After 4 years I can say Im in a much better place physically than I have ever been (since I was maybe 19yrs old). I recommend their services to anyone who is interested in feeling better and who want to stave off the effects of old age.
