Ben and Jamie run the best gym in the upper valley. They legitimately care about their clients and creating an inviting experience for people of all skill levels. Why wouldnt you want to support a small business? I cant imagine starting my fitness journey anywhere else. If youre on the fence about reaching out to KDR, this review is your sign that KDR is the right choice.
Ben and Jamie do an excellent job of promoting good health and fitness. As an older person, it is refreshing to have people who dont dismiss you because of your age and work with any limitations or injuries. They are wonderful, positive and knowledgeable people!
I have been training with KDR Fitness for the last 10 years. Ben and Jamie are wonderful coaches who get to know every client individually to help them achieve their goals and fitness journey. They not only teach you how to workout but how to live a healthier lifestyle all the way around!
Helped me realize fitness goals I didn’t think were possible for the shape I was in and age I was. Incredibly flexible and bent over backwards to make things accessible when COVID lockdown started. Super knowledgeable - just ask them anything!
Jamie and Ben are extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of keeping our bodies strong and active. They are committed to helping all their members achieve their goals at whatever level they find themselves.
Super knowledgeable owners and coaches who care a lot about their clients. Highly recommend for anyone looking to build healthy habits and have a personalized coaching experience.
Great gym with personalized workouts that will hit every muscle, youll see great results in no time whatever the fitness goal is.
Losing weight through a good program.
KDR is more than a gym: it’s a support system. All team members are approachable and they have a genuine interest in helping you achieve your personal goals. Membership is not inexpensive but if you consider the personal coaching, FitFam peer accountability, and meal planning assistance it’s a better value than just being left to your own devices at a larger facility.
Has helped me physically and mentally... amazing staff ....coaches are all very positive in my moving forward and helping myself and the fit fam is amazing...it’s a positive place to go and put your head and heart in a great state ... also has helped me cut down on medication that I had to take and now I don’t need anymore... love this place and the people
KDR is a great place to realize your fitness goals. The coaches are great in explaining exercise and diet and how it all ties in. Its a fun, relaxed environment. But, I still find myself challenged to improve.
Great gym, personalized programs, great coaches, family atmosphere, tons of social events. Look forward to going. Going on three years as a member.
I committed 6 weeks to KDR, and it was the best time investment I have made in a while. The hour-long group workouts are not only incredibly effective, but they are fun too! The community of people who belong to this gym are amazing people who I may otherwise never have met if not for KDR. The workouts, combined with the meal plan and accountability makes KDR the perfect recipe for success. I would highly recommend KDR to just about anyone I know. Thank you for picking me up and putting me back on the path to success, KDR!
I joined their six week challenge and KDR provided excellent diet and exercise coaching. My fat loss/muscle gain exceeded my expectations. The environment is friendly and inviting, the coaches give clear demonstrations of exercises with modifications, the programs are fresh and fun, and the nutrition program is based on sound science. Its refreshing to see the owners actively engaged in their business. They clearly care about each individual in their gym.
KDR has amazing classes and coaches who pay attention to each member and are invested in their progress. Since joining the gym I have felt amazing results, both losing weight and also toning up.
So many GREAT things to say about KDR Fitness! A true hidden treasure in the Upper Valley!I just completed KDR’s six week challenge, and had AMAZING success. I lost 10 lbs / 6.8 % body fat -- yep just in six weeks, yes SIX weeks. I was doubtful that I would reach my goal (let alone surpass it) but they had full belief in me and their program - and rightful so, I should have never doubted them! The program was skillfully design hitting all the elements needed for building (and maintaining) a healthy lifestyle ------> a meal plan that doesnt leave you hungry, a variety fun group workouts that are complete within 45 min to a hour (and scheduled throughout the day to so you can attend the classes that best fit your schedule), and the biggest/best factor of all the accountability, a team of SUPPORTIVE coaches and a community of other clients routing for your success too. KDR is not just a gym - they offer so much more. It is a true haven - a self care sanctuary!!If I had to give any ‘negative’ comments about KDR - it would be that the bathrooms are on the second floor and that I often find the parking lot so full that means parking in the back lot.
KDR is a great community! The staff are great and knowledgeable. I love the workouts (HIIT circuit style) they are always different which makes it a lot of fun. The members are super friendly and encouraging. I joined for a 6 week program and would have LOVED to stay on, but it’s just a little out of my price range. I am so happy with my results and the incredible knowledge I gained! I recommend KDR to anyone that wants a fun filled but HARD working boost to get you headed in the right direction.
First impressions are very important to me. I dont feel as if I had a great first impression of KDR. I like many others went to an information meeting about a 6 week challenge that was advertised as free. Which I thought was going to be great...but after attending orientation I felt lied to and misled. If you are going to require a $600 deposit, mention that before I take time out of my day, I drove miles to attend the meeting and was heavily disappointed and dont know that Ill ever consider you as an option because of it. Also, for your membership prices you may want to spruce the place up a bit. Ive been to other gyms that were of the same caliber that had a way better appearance and cost much less.
I saw the ad for the 6 weeks challenge and I signed up. It was not free per se as it was advertised. It was free if you reach the goal set for the challenge, 25 lbs or 6%BF loss. The classes can go from 1-2 people in the early am to close to 30 in the evening and Saturday, and go from 30 min to 1hour.I did not reach the goal. I was 1.1% away from BF loss. As it was stated in other reviews lack of Sleep, Stress, and work schedule are factors to take into account. I would suggest to start program in low stress period if possible.The combination of Nutrition and Conditioning works. The support from the coaches has been great. The weekly check-in helps keep on track and the discussion board with other member is fantastic!I gave a 4 stars because the monthly membership is over double what the other gyms in the areas are, there is no month to month membership, and you have to commit for a year (though you can freeze account for a small fee). The time for the team challenge were not convenient and are restrictive to certain hours.
I joined the KDR Fitness challenge to lose 6% body fat in 6 weeks. Within that 6 weeks, I exercised as instructed and stuck with the food plan, although I did not meet my goal, I was only .6% away! So it clearly DOES work!! I didnt reach my goal (I believe) due to high stress and lack of sleep, due to unfortunate events occurring over the past month. I will continue with the food plan and exercising long past this challenge. I wont get my $500 back, but I take comfort in the knowledge I gained from this experience. This will surely benefit the rest of my life. I gave it 3 stars, because the cost is just way too high, and making you commit to a full year is a bit irrational. Why no month to month options? The equipment is far too outdated and the TEAM times that are offered are very inconvenient to my schedule. I really did enjoy my time with everyone, but I can go else where and get what I want/need, and also fit within my budget. Another thing, is that starting this challenge, I was left in the dark for quite a while. I never got a nutrition council -That I found out about at week 4 that I should have had (that would have really helped, as I had no idea about the vitamins and such - not all my questions were answered). Also, there were different things that no one ever told me about in the gym like for example, the monthly sticker chart... I didnt learn about that until week 5. I feel like I didnt have all the information that couldve helped in the journey, and some stuff was left to guesswork. I definitely could have asked, but I didnt know about them in order to ask and after so many questions I felt like I was being irritating - especially when theyd go unanswered. That being said, I still lost 5.6% body fat! Im proud of myself for getting so close (with everything thats happened over the past month). I still feel like I won, and I had a great time. I look forward to seeing more results as I continue along this journey, on my own.
Did the 6 week challenge and got amazing results! Such fun classes and the team spirit makes working hard enjoyable.
KDR fitness is a great place to work out. The staff is knowledgeable and caring. Whether working out in a large group or with the coach in a small group or one on one, I always get the best out of a work out. I have learned so much about my body and what I am capable of. Something as simple as a stretch, can help to lead to more complex movements. I have learned how all the muscles are connected and how important it is to strengthen my core. This is a life long journey and I am glad that I am making KDR part of my journey to a healthier me.
I first heard of KDR when they first started in their garage in Enfield, NH. A friend experienced a huge body, mind and health transformation with them.Fast forward many years and here they are in my backyard! I am a restaurant manager who gets to bed at 12:30-1am and found myself, willingly, getting up at 5:15a for the early morning class. The stretches, the pace and variety of exercise and the overall sense of accomplishment is well worth the early mornings! Even with the challenging aspect of the exercises, they were fun. Really hadnt a clue that I actually could do squats, which improved with each attempt. The crew at KDR is supportive and it is, truly, a non-judgement zone. Cheers!
KDR wants $200 to do an assessment. The cheapest class is $200/mo. A trial membership is $100/mo. Just to use the facility is $100/mo. From the get-go youll be pressured to share your story of how KDR has changed your life. The programs are heavy on motivation, which leads to dependency, and is cultish. One day this lucrative fitness coaching craze will come to an end and KDR will pack up and leave town like the circus. Do some push-ups, pull-ups, crunches, and go for walk instead. Nobody has a monopoly on fitness knowledge. You cant purchase fitness.
I never, and I mean NEVER, thought Id enjoy a workout. The Workout of the Day keeps the workouts from becoming monotonous, and the HIIT format keeps my eyes off the clock. The coaches also do a great job making workouts feel like being back in school as a member of a team- some friendly competition and socializing are usually integrated into each session. I have learned a ton about nutrition as well. I feel I have learned to eat smarter, not just less. I have rarely felt really hungry (I get pretty hangry, so this was one of my concerns) while on the 6-week challenge diet, and I have discovered some creative, tasty, and simple healthy meals. The only reason Im not giving it 5 stars is because the membership is really out of my price range. The knowledge they have to share is invaluable, and I truly appreciate everything Ive learned; everything has a price I suppose. Regardless, its a fantastic group of people and I am enjoying the time I have left with them!
I love this gym!! The coaches are amazing!!
Best gym in the upper valley hands down
Far and away the best fitness community in the upper valley...
Good people,exercise,healthy
