I joined Physical Eds Fitness about 4 weeks ago. Ed is great to work with, he listens to you and designs a program that meets your needs. His priorities are safety (meaning good form during workouts) and health of his clients. I am already feeling healthier in my head and body. The gym is clean, the other people working out are friendly and Eds terrific. If you, like me, need a post year+ reboot, this is the place for you.

I found Eds through google maps and after reading the glowing reviews I decided to give it a shot. Historically Ive been really bad about going to the gym consistently because I will overdo it, and injure myself. What I wanted was a trainer that would help me create a healthy workout schedule, and teach me the right way to exercise. Ive now been a client for a month and with his guidance I feel stronger, and am progressing towards a healthier weight/body fat percentage. Ed is always friendly, helpful and genuinely wants to see you succeed. He keeps his gym very clean, and when Im out of town and using other gyms thats one of the things I notice first. Also he maintains the exercise equipment very well. I would recommend Ed to anyone looking for a personal trainer and a clean, friendly gym space.

I started coming to Ed and using the gym about a month ago and I have been loving it! Ed is an amazing teacher, I started with no foundation for weight lifting and he took his time teaching me everything and really making it stick. I already feel a difference and I can’t wait to see more results!! If you’re thinking about signing up just do it!

I have going to Ed for twenty years and you are NEVER going to find someone who is more dedicated to his clients health and fitness than Ed. This is more than a gym, it’s a fitness family, where everyone motivates each other to achieve their goals. This is a gym you look forward to coming to every day. I highly recommend coming here! You’ll be happy you did!

I have been lifting weights and working out regularly the past 6 yrs. Performing the same routines over and over spending hrs at the gym.I recently joined Physical Eds for a more hands on training experience with a trainer. I had never worked with a trainer before so I wasnt sure what to expect.My experience with being a member for the last month and half has been great! Ed takes a personal interest in each members health and overall well being. He takes time to write each person an individual plan to achieve what ever goals they might have. His training sessions are great! Ed really helps you to focus on correct form and movement, which is awesome for keeping you off the injury list. He is almost always available (in person) to ask questions about an exercise or any part of plan. Its not uncommon for me to see Ed at 4am and see his car parked at the gym still at 6pm or later. His passion for helping really helps me to stay motivated not to mention my results and feeling great.The other people Ive met here are all friendly and inviting. Ed has really got something special here and Im happy to be a part of it.

I originally started my fitness journey off by pursing the desire of getting back into shape and making initial advances towards my health goals. Ed and I go way back, having known each other since childhood growing up in Framingham, MA. Prior to starting with Physical Ed’s, my previous fitness lacked immensely – irregular workouts, sporadic meal plans, and busy diligently running my own company - needless to say, I required the professional expertise from Ed! My fitness journey started following the initial sign up for Ed’s personal training sessions weekly. Since starting this program, I wanted to take steps in the right direction, gearing towards achieving results and transforming both, physically and mentally. Ed offered exceptional gym access starting as early as 4AM until 9PM. Which is great for those clients who have busy schedules and require flexibility. Ed offered a customized program directed towards my specific fitness needs. He was able to incorporate my current physical state and involve my future fitness aspirations. Ed also guided his program around proper form and technique. This skill alone, has helped transform my fitness shape and strength. Ed was extremely patient, thoughtful, and very knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Ed supported challenging myself both, physically and mentally – which changed and transformed my entire outlook on life. Presently, I wake up every day feeling healthier about myself, my company, my family, and my future relationship with fitness. As I continuously grow stronger, Ed continued to change up my weekly routines, offering complexity and remand motivational towards accomplishing my goals. I have been working with Ed for almost 1 year now and I highly recommend working with this commendable personal trainer. The gym is exceptionally clean and tidy, exemplifying a well-organized fitness environment. I always feel so pleasant upon entering this gym. Personally, I really feel a sense of community when entering this gym, which can be hard to come by these days. Finally, I would personally like to say thank you and express my gratitude to you, Ed. Thank you, for your continuous support and expertise during my fitness journey. Please continue to keep motivating, pushing, and directing me to become the best version of myself.

I was in town visiting a friend for a few days who has been raving about Ed’s gym for months. Ed was so nice to let me come in with my friend and get a workout in. He was extremely welcoming and though I was only there for one day, he treated me as if I had been a client of his for years! He was very helpful with giving me tips about my form and overall an extremely nice guy. I felt at home at Ed’s and wish I lived in MA because the easiest decision for me would be to train with Ed. I was so happy to have had a chance to get a workout in there and can’t wait to workout there again the next time I’m in town! Highly recommend !!!!

A highly recommended personal trainer!!I first met Ed in the middle of some significant health issues. Two major abdominal surgeries followed by chemo, which resulted in no exercise. To say I was out of shape is a very big understatement. My goal when walking into Physical Ed’s was to get myself moving and in a better place physically before another upcoming surgery. Ed was patient, kind, and very knowledgeable. He took the time to create a program based on my specific needs, my then current physical challenges, and goals. He taught me how to challenge myself both physically and mentally. Sometimes it’s a gentle nudge or check-in and sometimes a little tough love. As I’ve healed over the years he has continued to change up my routine and challenge me. I have been working with Ed for almost 4 years now and highly recommend him to anyone. The gym is also one of the cleanest I’ve ever been in and all of the members are incredibly friendly. You feel a sense of community when you walk through the door. I’d like to take a moment to say THANK YOU Ed, for all of your support and kindness over the years. Keep on pushing me to be my best self.

Physical Ed’s gym is super clean and the machines are maintained extremely well. Ed makes it a point to introduce everyone to you, especially when you’re new. All of Ed’s clients are from different walks of life, on different journeys in their fitness levels and are always so welcoming. Ed is a great trainer who’s focuses on form and making sure you don’t injure yourself. More importantly, he listens. What are your goals and how can he help you get there. I highly recommend reaching out to Ed!

Awesome gym. I was always intimidated to go to the gym because I didnt know how to properly lift. Ed makes sure you know EXACTLY what youre doing and teaches you how to do every exercise properly. He goes out of his way to introduce everybody and couldnt be more welcoming. I couldnt recommend Ed and his gym enough. I am so appreciative that I found Ed and his gym. Give Eds a shot and you wont regret it!

5 stars because there where not more to add. Ed is the best trainer EVER!!!His one on one sessions are awesome in order to understand and learn how to be able to do a work out by yourself. FINALLY a trainer that knows what he is talking about. Goes over your nutrition too and stays on top of everything. Gym is super clean at all times which was a huge factor for me and members are very friendly.Highly recommended!!!

Physical Eds is an incredible gym where you are treated like family! You will not find a more passionate trainer who is there to guide you every step of the way.

Physical Eds is an excellent trainer running an incredibly clean place. Ed has a great personality and knows his stuff. Its a great place to work out and Ed introduces you to everyone who comes in.

Ed is not only a great trainer BUT an amazing TEACHER. Ed does not baby sit you while you are doing cardio but instead teaches you different methods to increase fat burning by targeting a specific heart rate. Ed TEACHES and INSTRUCTS proper form and technique so you are educated on exercise form. You then have the knowledge to workout on your own, at Physeds or anywhere that has equipment.Ed sets the bar high and expects you to bring your A Game each and everyday. He stresses Do what you say you are going to DoSo Glad I found Ed and his gym which is immaculate and spotless.Great motivator, teacher and good guy !

If youre looking for a personal and individualized gym experience, Phys Eds is the way to go! Going to the gym has always been an intimidating and uncertain experience for me... I have never really learned good form or what exercises to do while in the gym. From the first call with the owner Ed, it was clear that he really cares about his customers. I explained what my past experience with working out was and what I wanted to get out of personal training, and he crafted a plan that works perfectly for me. If you feel like youre wasting your time with the gym and youre not getting the results you want, Phys Eds is the place to go to change that!

Everything about the gym in these reviews is true. It is spotless, well lit and welcoming to new people. Ed is fantastic. I like his approach to fitness --slow, steady and most importantly, injury free. After only three weeks of training, I saw significant results. I was so proud to return to my running pace after more than 5 years of trying to get there on my own. It was incredible to run without pain and with great ease. Thank you, Ed!

I have been going to gyms my whole life. The first time I walked into Physical Ed’s gym I knew it was different than other gyms. The equipment was in near perfect shape and the gym was super clean. That’s not even the best part. Ed Carp the owner is. He is dedicated to each and every member of the gym. It’s likely on any given day you may see Ed at the gym at 4am and if you went back at 6 or 7pm he would still be there. Ed has made custom workouts for me for building size, leaning out and has navigated me through injuries I have received from my line of work. I highly recommend Physical Ed’s.

Physical Ed’s is a terrific place to work out as Ed personalizes everyone’s experience. In my case it meant helping a novice learn the ropes with support and encouragement. Everyone that goes here is super friendly and represent a wide array of people with entirely different goals. The facility is spotless and easy to access. I’m certainly glad I found this place, thanks Ed!

Ed cares...that is the bottom line. He will work tirelessly to make sure that your health and workout needs are the best that they can be. Nothing but muscle on the outside and nothing but heart on the inside. I have spent most of my almost 54 years as an athlete and karate enthusiast. I have never met anyone like this.

Ed’s gym is a fantastic place to exercise. It has all you could need for virtually any workout routine. It is also always extremely clean and organized. Ed is a great trainer and a very pleasant person. The gym is never too crowded and I have never had to wait to use certain equipment. Highly recommended is you want a good quality gym and a great personal trainer.

Ed is an incredible trainer and even a better friend. No matter what your fitness level is he will make sure to get best out of you. He worked with me for detailed personal workout and diet plan, and made sure that my form with every exercise is correct. I leave every workout feeling better than when I walked in. What Ive gained most from Ed is a feeling that fitness can be its own reward, that the parts of working out that often seem the most tedious can be fun, and that Ill always have someone in my corner when the times are tough. Though you might be actually in the gym with Ed for just hours a week, the lessons you learn stay with you so much longer than that. And how can I forget to mention lexxx. He carries his own personality and is a great workout partner. I would strongly recommend Ed to anyone who wants to see positive change in their lives.

As a young woman, comfort in a gym is a must. Thats exactly what Ive found at Physical Eds! People have been my number one reason for steering clear of gyms, whether it was a negative interaction with staff or another member. However, Ed and his members are the friendliest, most welcoming people--not to mention, helpful as well! Within my first week of being at the gym, other members who noticed my form being off came over to offer help and it wasnt weird. That makes a huge difference and creates a better environment that I want to be in. In fact, Im there every day.

Review №31

Working out can be scary especially if youve never lifted or had a personal trainer before, but Ed is very knowledgeable, funny, and plain easy to work with! No matter what fitness level youre at, he takes the time to walk you through all the exercises and answer all your questions to make sure that you get the technique down. I appreciate how he makes an effort to not only know his clients but introduce people within his gym to each other too. Everybody does their own thing, but this makes it so that the environment is very friendly and comforting. He makes you look forward to coming everyday! Definitely recommend :)

Ive never worked with a personal trainer and was fairly unsure what to expect. Ed was extremely helpful in mapping out a clear and comprehensive workout and diet plan.

What can I say, Ed is the best!I can’t tell you how thankful I am to Physical Ed’s Fitness for having my back and getting me into shape. I was a little intimidated at first not knowing what to expect, but Ed quickly put me at ease. The goals I’ve set for myself aren’t that scary with Ed right beside me, he really wants me to succeed as much as I do. The gym is very clean and everyone there is like family. It’s like having your own personal gym in your home. My only regret is that I didn’t join sooner, but better late than never!

Eds is a great place to work out! Ed took the time to custom tailor a workout plan to help maximize what I was looking for out of the gym. Its been a long time since I had a personal trainer, and it is well worth it to take the time to have an expert teach you new things. Thank you Ed!

Physical Eds is an amazing gym for many reasons. First, Ed - a knowledgeable trainer, interested in his clients progress, able to match your workout to your needs, interests and ability. He will push you to succeed within your abilities. He is always around the gym, making sure that your workouts are strong, your form is right and that you are making progress. And, he is funny and nice. And then there is the gym - equipment is up-to-date, always in working order and lots of it so that whenever you are there, you can work on what you want and have enough variety that you dont get bored. Everything about the gym is spotless. Finally, the overall environment of the gym is friendly without being intrusive. I tried many gyms before I found Eds.; now I wouldnt change.

Just want to say that this was my first time going to a personal trainer and I was more than impressed by my entire experience here. Being someone who has usually gone to chain gyms (Anytime, Snap, Edge, PF, etc...) I can safely say that Ed has built a very welcoming environment for anyone who is really trying to better themselves. The gym itself is absolutely spotless and has all of the necessary equipment for anyone trying to better themselves regardless of age, fitness level and personal goals. I am definitely looking forward to working with Ed in the future and Honestly, if you are trying to get serious about making a change and getting in shape - I think just talking to Ed is a great motivator and step in the right direction. //

Physical Ed’s is the best gym I have been a member of. It’s very clean and updated. I look forward to going in and working out which I can’t say I have felt the same way about gyms in the past. Ed is a very genuine guy and actually cares about all of his members well being and goals that they are trying to achieve. I am a new member but I plan on being a long term one as well I am very happy with Ed and his facility.

Review №39

I lost my job two weeks after I became a Physical Eds member. And I am so glad I had done so. Going to the gym everyday gave me a structure every day and has keep me going through my job search. As I became physically stronger and begun to loose weight I felt I was accomplishing something and meeting my goals. This helped me with my self-esteem and when job rejections came in, I reminded myself that I am strong and I am able to accomplish goals when I set them. Ed has been extremely supportive, as he is with every member. He makes sure everyone knows everyone and even when he is training another member, and you are on the floor, he pays attention to what you are doing and later he takes the time to let you know where you should be making corrections. I have belonged to gyms before, but this one is different and I have stayed because of the personal support, everyone knows your name, literally and Ed is always glad you came! The equipment is state of the art and easy to use and with Eds help you learn how to you use it in no time and he is always available to lend a hand. The gym is open 365 days a year, 24/7. If you are willing to work hard, want to see results and workout in a supportive environment, Physical Eds is the place for you! Ed will create a personalized exercise routine, will provide personal training sessions and go over your diet. A great little package to help you feel better about yourself, become healthier and stronger. I am so glad I found Physical Eds just when I was going to be needing the support support I have received so readily! I am extremely happy with my results and that I can now run, which I have not been able to do for years! Thanks Ed. You are the best!!

Ive been going to Physical Eds for just over a year now, the gym is spotless and has everything you could possibly need for a good workout. The greatest part of going to Physical Eds is Ed himself. Hes incredibly knowledgeable about proper form and how much weight to be using, and is always willing to go the extra mile to help you reach your goals. No where else will you find the kind of genuine care and attention that you will with Ed.

Ed has set up a very comfortable, well-equipped, clean, friendly, supportive fitness studio.When you walk in, you are greeted by name by Ed and other clients. Ed goes out of his way to introduce all clients to one another, which makes me more comfortable and able to more easily check in with other clients. Once you are comfortably in the studio, the workout whether one on one with Ed or on your own, gets scrutiny for proper form. And do not be surprised to get a text reminder about working out from him. It is like my happy fitness family. If you are looking for a great fitness facility I recommend this place

My husband and I just moved to the area and really needed to get in better shape, but on a budget. After calling Ed to get some information, we decided to go in and check things out. As soon as we walked in everyone was so welcoming and warm. His gym is SPOTLESS clean and has a great atmosphere. Ed was able to get both my husband and I on a great diet as well as a work-out routine that is right for our body type and ages. I would HIGHLY recommend Physical Eds Fitness to anyone who is looking for an AWESOME trainer to keep you motivated and healthy. His gym has every type of equipment you can imagine. The other people that work out there are super friendly and its like a big family. 5 Stars!!!

Review №43

I had been to three different gyms, before arriving at Eds. Whether there were low quality machines, unhelpful staff, or unfriendly peers; each place I tried had problems that made going to the gym an unpleasant experience. I cycled through these gyms for about a year at a time each, before deciding none of them were for me. Then I came to Physical Eds, three years ago, and I can honestly say I still love going to his gym now just as much as I did the first day I signed up. Physical Eds Fitness Studio is a gym for people who want to better themselves, all in a comfortable and friendly environment. Furthermore, if you truly commit to bettering yourself, Ed will give his 100% for you every step of the way. Unlike other gyms where you sign up once and hardly ever go again, Ed will call or text you to make sure youre in the gym and working your hardest. The gym itself is spotless, youll never meet another trainer who works harder to take care of his establishment. You have to see it to believe it! I highly recommend Physical Eds to any and all who are truly interested in bettering themselves.[January, 2019] Update: Still going to Eds, now on a daily basis. I continue to train with Ed because I know without his consistency everything I have achieved will be lost. Going to Eds everyday after work (or sometimes before) feels like the highlight of the day, because I can not only see but also feel how my body is rewarding itself for the work I put in, and it is truly amazing! Ive also met so many new people through Eds over the years who have become my friends. I think its clear enough at this point but Eds is the best gym.

Joining Physical Eds gym might have been one of the best decisions of my life (other than marrying my husband of course). For most of my life I have been told I was couldnt/shouldnt work out but Ed said something entirely different. He said Lets try it and created a plan that was gentle enough for me to succeed and ambitious enough for me to get stronger. The people in the gym are all like family and I find myself motivated to go work out even when I am tired just to see my friends. Probably the greatest thing is Lexxx the gym dog. I love the way he has his own little personality and is a great gym partner :).

Physical Eds is a great studio. I had the pleasure of working 1 on 1 with Ed. He is extremely brilliant with understanding the body and how to train clients. He not only is great to be around while he trains you but he makes sure that every rep that you perform is correct and with perfect form for the absolute best results you can receive. I am a bodybuilder but I learn so much every time I train with Ed. His studio is also in unbelievable shape, he makes sure personally that every machine works perfectly. Physical Eds is a GREAT studio!!!!

I joined Physical Eds gym about 2 months ago and have been so pleased with the results and personal attention I have received. I have belonged to many gyms in the past, but never got the training needed to really learn how to use each machine to get the best work out.

Physical Eds has really helped me overcome a lot of my self-consciousness and nervousness about working out and got me on the path to being in the kind of shape I want.Ed’s patrons all get to know each other and encourage each other—folks are in all different stages of strength and fitness, and that’s ok. Ed has been carefully walking me through lots of different exercises, teaching me the proper form so that I can isolate muscle groups and avoid injury and giving me the confidence to be able to walk into his or any other gym and know just what to do. I recommend giving Physical Ed’s a try!

Here is an update -In the year that I have been going to Ed, I have lost 145 pounds. Ed has been a great coach as well as interested in my physical well being. He monitors my workouts as well as my diet. Ed will text or call when I am even late for my workouts! He knows me, and I see he doing this with all of his people.His new location is absolutely perfect. He is accommodating for hours and tailors to me.If you want results, listen to him!Ed is a great coach and runs a great gym. He is always there teaching and shares his knowledge. While working out, he helps and directs providing you a complete training program. I have been there since July. He focuses on keeping you in shape and is in constant contact with you.I started my weight loss program before I started and have continued working out at his immaculate gym!Losing over 100 pounds, he changed my routines as I was losing weight and is constantly challenging me.Great place to learn and work out!

I have been going to Ed’s gym for over five years. Ed has become a great friend and trainer during that time. His devotion to all his clients is extraordinary. I see how he is committed to ensuring each person’s goals and objectives for physical fitness is met. His gym is designed so he can coach each member more intimately and provide the proper motivation to stay focused. I appreciate his fortitude and follow-up if my focus starts to fall out of order – he is able to get me back on track. Thanks Ed!

Although I am someone who loves fitness, I have never been someone that liked being indoors for workouts. Eds gym makes you want to be there! He cares about each and every person. He knows each person by name and introduces you to others. The gym is immaculate and highest caliber equipment. However, what really makes the experience above 5 star is Ed!! He is a very accomplished athlete but he also has a huge heart and cares about his clients. He goes above and beyond to understand how to work with each person and how to tailor their experience to what will work best for them. I am an ultrarunner and also a business owner. He gets to the core of what you need and partners to get you to places you cant imagine you could go.

I started with Ed about a year and a half ago. From the moment I walked into the gym it was a different experience. Ed actually cares. He sits downs with you and goes through a routine designed specifically for you. He goes through the excercises with you and makes sure you understand the right way to do it. I’ve tried many gyms and this is the best experience I’ve had. I’ve made a lot of friends and networking connections by being a member. I would recommend Ed to anyone interested in living a healthier lifestyle.

Ive known for over 30 years. No one takes their business more serious than Ed does. If you want to get real results this is the place to do it! Theres no fluff or the new trendy fad, just the real proven methods that get you results. Ed will push you harder than ever using proper technique that will keep you injury free.. His gym is the cleanest and most well maintained gym Ive seen. Ive been training with Ed consistently for the past year and at the age of 50, Im in better shape than Ive been in the last 20 years and have been injury free. I highly recommend Ed and his gym to anyone who is serious about getting in shape.

Why should you try Physical Eds Fitness Studio in its new Washington St. location? Eds offers six things you are unlikely to find in any other gym:1) ITS CLEANER THAN WHERE YOU LIVE: This is by far the most pristine and attractive gym Ive ever seen. Ed makes absolutely sure you have everything you need, from warmed towels to toiletries, it is flawlessly maintained from top to bottom.2) WEIGHT TRAINING BY AN AWARD-WINNING PRO WHO KNOWS SAFETY: Ed delivers the best possible workout routine on the finest machines and weights, teaching (and reinforcing) safe techniques.The machines themselves are maintained far more frequently than any manufacturer requires. After all, Physical Ed works out on them too, and he insists on perfection.3) NO HEROES: Men and women of all ages and capabilities go here,, feel safe, and get only the attention they need to be more fit and happier with themselves.4) FRIENDLY CUSTOMERS YOU KNOW BY NAME: If you are tired of an impersonal gym with music you dont like and people you like even less, Eds is the place to go and stay.5) ED CARP: A truly original and engaging personality with deep credentials and a true passion for helping people get fitter, stay fitter, and enjoy it. He is the reason why most customers will gladly tell you theyve stayed with Physical Eds for longer than any other gym.6) THE NAME - PHYSICAL EDS: Much cooler than Planet Something or House of Pain (OK, I made them up).

Physical Eds, and more specifically Ed himself has helped me turn my life around. He is personable and has a well defined training style. Coupled with his incredible pool of knowledge and thorough organization, it is the perfect place for beginners or experienced people looking to have a great workout. Ed is always willing to help out and answer questions, and is truly a pleasure to chat with. I have lost 40 pounds while working with Ed, and have never felt better. The gym is clean and has everything you need.

Prior to joining Physical Eds Fitness I was a member of one of those gym-chains; working out with a large group of strangers and having poor results. Physical Eds has changed my approach; I am no longer just working out, but working out with a purpose and a commitment to an active lifestyle. I received a personalized program that is ever evolving as my body and my needs change. Ed (the personal trainer and owner) takes a vested interested in my motivation, athletic goals and success; not only does he adapt my routines and focus on proper form, but will reach out to me should my workout schedule change.

Phys Ed’s Fitness Studio is committed to teaching proper form and technique and establishing an individual workout program that delivers the results you want. Ed knows how to push you to the next level while keeping all the moving parts healthy. Clean, bright and excellent equipment make Phys Ed’s a must “check-it-out” if you’re looking for a place to get in shape and stay that way.

I cant say enough about Ed and what hes doing at Physical Eds Fitness. I joined a few months ago and have to say that his tireless work ethic is infections to the studio. Eds dedication to his clients and the overall atmosphere and attitude of the entire gym help in making it an overall great experience. Ed runs a tight ship, the equipment is impeccable and everyone is respectful in keeping it clean and up to his standards which makes it a great place to be!

Physical Eds is a great place to work out. Its fun and Ed can provide you guidance about what YOU want to accomplish. It is not a one size fits all gym. Eds personality is infectious and he will make you want to come to the gym.I have worked out with Ed for 10 years and lost 30 lbs when I first joined and have kept it off.

A must try!!!!!! I have been coming here for over 10 years and there is honestly no other gym like this! I walk in and immediately get motivated. Ed is truly one of a kind....he is passionate and committed to having you see results. His gym is not only beyond meticulous but the equipment is top notch and he is all about creating both a comfortable and personable atmosphere that many times I joke with him that I feel like I am part of a family. I have tried other gyms in the past and nothing in my opinion compares!!! Do yourself and your body a favor and come check it out!!!

Physical Eds is the best gym around. The gym has great equipment that is maintained and very clean with friendly and fun atmosphere. Ed is a former Mr. Massachusetts with an encyclopedic knowledge of training to fit your personnel needs. Whether you are trying to loose weight, stay in shape, working out to overcome a physical injury or limitation, hardcore, or old like me, Ed will work with you to find the best fitness routine for you fitness goals.

I have seen Eds studio in the neighborhood for quite a few years but never paid much attention to it until about six months ago when I resolved to start a serious program. What a loss on my part!His place is just so meticulously maintained and sparkling clean, and Ed gave me his personal attentions, which I can see every member gets. Working out here is just like having your personal gym without having to worry about the upkeep. What more can I ask for!

I always want to workout, to do some weight training, to lose weight, but never actually stared. So fortunately, I found Ed when I really decided to work on what I planned for so long now. Nice person, professional and easy to go along with. I am 100 percent sure I will reach my goal under Eds help very soon.

Physical Eds is always clean, cool, and ready for you to workout on your time. Ed himself is a great coach, friend, and mentor: whether youre in a one on one lesson or just in the gym for a regular workout, hes always looking out for you and cheering you on as you work towards your goals. Ive been going to Phys Eds for 3 years now and its still both as welcoming and motivating as it always has been.

There is no trainer more enthusiastic and knowledgeable. His gym is immaculate. Even when working out on your own, he keeps a close eye on your technique and form, to make sure you have little risk for injury and maximum benefit. If you are looking to get strong, fit and focused, you cant do better than Physical Eds

Review №69

Ive known Ed since he first opened his studio in Wayland over 10 years ago. He is a great trainer and you never need to worry about getting hurt when you work out with him (this is not to say that he wont make you work!). Even when you are not having a personal training session, he is looking out for you, to make sure you have what you need and are doing routines properly. The gym has top-notch equipment, and is spotless and very well maintained. Ed has thought of everything to make his clients comfortable--the bathrooms and showers have all of the toiletries and sundries you might need to clean up after a workout. The other clients are very nice and Ed makes sure that all of his clients feel welcome. I highly recommend Physical Eds--it is a unique venue..

Ive been coming to Eds almost daily for the past year or so, and I feel like Ive finally found a gym where I fit in. Its a great environment for those who are just starting out or for those who are looking to take their workout plan to the next level. The gym itself is clean and bright and the equipment is meticulously maintained. Ed himself is supportive and motivating and really pushes you during your training sessions. Ive made more progress over the past year than I have in the previous 10!

Ive been a member of Physical Eds Fitness for the last four years. I am completely impressed by the dedication of Ed Carp and his commitment to me in reaching my fitness and health goals. His no nonsense and direct approach is refreshing. The gym has the most up to date equipment and the facility is impeccably clean and well maintained. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is willing to challenge themselves and take the next step in gaining control of a new you.

Review №72

Physical Eds is the best gym I have ever belonged to! Months ago I decided it was time for a change. I didnt like my appearance, I didnt like my health, I didnt like feeling tired all the time even though I spent hours laying around on my couch! Ed asked what I would like to improve. He developed an easy routine for me while showing me proper form and technique. He also provided me with a simple to follow meal plan. I lost 25lbs in 5 months and I had surpassed all my goals. My health is great, my energy is back and Im toned. Physical Eds is a clean, comfortable, friendly gym that provides motivation without any intimidation. I would give Ed and his gym 10 stars if I could. I highly recommend joining!

You can expect two things when Phys Ed trains you: all of the acceptance & encouragement you could ever want, along with a trainer whose solid knowledge of body mechanics will get you stronger without ever getting hurt. Training with Ed a few times every week changed my life and that is not an overstatement. He taught me how to push my body to improve Im a very safe way. He taught me to trust myself and through it all we laughed while we worked hard. He cares about each and every one of his clients and has the biggest heart in the world. Training with him is the best gift you could give yourself. Thank you for everything, Ed.

Ive been going to Physical Eds for several years and its unlike any gym Ive belonged to in the past. Its immaculately clean, the equipment is well taken care of, and Ive never had to wait in line to use a machine, even at peak hours! Ed truly cares about his clients and is a great motivator! He creates a fun and friendly atmosphere but remains serious about training. Its Eds encouragement and dedication that make his clients sign up time and time again!

I travel to Natick 4 times a year from England and since I discovered Ed,s place 4 years ago Ive been hooked. Great gym, clean, well equipped, friendly welcoming atmosphere and passionately run by Ed. His sessions are professional, informative, effective and fun. Ed, you will discover, has interesting opinions on a whole range of topics which adds to the whole experience. I recommend you try it out. You wont be disappointed.

Review №78

When a current member brought me to Physical Eds Fitness, I was immediately struck by the friendly atmosphere and cleanliness of the entire facility. Everyone was approached by his or her first name and there was truly no judgment or intimidation. As I was planning to start a weightlifting regime for the first time in my life, my particular interest was in the trainer’s reputation of expertise and personal commitment; and through individual training sessions, I was shown proper form and exercises that would help me to reach my goals. Physical Eds is a comfortable place to work out; a place where you feel accepted, respected, supported and heard.

Review №79

Physical Eds is hands down the best gym that I have ever had the pleasure of being a member at. If you want results in a great environment, then Eds is the place for you! I joined Eds after my first year of college where I unfortunately surpassed the Freshman 15. I knew I was gaining weight, but I was not really sure how to work out as I had never really worked out before. I was also embarrassed of my inexperience and was hesitant to use the school gym and be surrounded by others who knew what they were doing. On top of that, I found working out to be a task that I did not really want to do. But all of that changed after joining Eds. The first thought that crossed my mind after setting into Eds is Wow this place is immaculate. Ed has by far the cleanest gym I have ever been in. When you sign up at Eds you not only get to use the gym on your own, but you also get training sessions with Ed. Ed is by far the best personal trainer that Ive worked with. He works with you to reach your goal and is always helpful and encouraging. At Eds you never have to feel intimidated as anyone is always welcome. Ed is an extremely friendly person and despite being a former body builder he in no way carries the Pick Things Up and Put Them Down mentality. He makes sure you are working with a weight that is comfortable for you but also will show results. In my time at Physical Eds Ive lost about 35 pounds and I have definitely become a lot stronger. Ed has made working out something enjoyable for me and no longer comes across as being an annoying task. Trust me when I say there is no other fitness studio like Physical Eds. Ive been a member at Eds for 5 years and Ive absolutely loved every minute of it.

I have been going to Physical Eds for the past three years when I am home from college and to this day the studio remains the cleanest, most organized, and most professional gym setting that I have had the chance to use. Ed is devoted to the well-being and progression of those that he trains, making the atmosphere at the studio one of encouragement and friendliness. Whether your fitness goals center upon losing weight or gaining muscle, Ed is the guy to go to and his studio is the place to accomplish those goals.

Awesome neighborhood gym with cardio, weights, and plenty of laughs!

Review №85

I have always loathed the thought of going to a gym based on past experiences and was so pleasantly shocked to find this hidden gem and have been a fan for the past 7 years. If you are searching for a small, ultra-clean place ( Ed is meticulous ), that is never crowded and where you dont need to feel self conscience, then this is the place for you. Ed brings personal training to a new level of personal and really works to understand each persons personality and make a plan to help them, realizing that each persons schedule and goals are different ( not pushy at all but very honest ). He is very bright and funny and I often feel like I go as much for mental therapy as physical training. The clients I have met are also very friendly, down-to-earth, and more focused on health rather than image which makes me feel as comfortable as if I were exercising in my own home. If you are looking to escape the typical gym scene, you must try this place!

Review №86

I’ve been working out at Ed’s for about a year and a half and I love it. I’ve been a member of almost every gym in the Boston area at one point or another and nothing compares. Ed is knowledgeable, friendly and really cares about his clients. He provides the instruction and motivation that a busy professional like myslef needs to make sure I’m getting into the gym and making the most of my time at the gym. Ed is quick to introduce you to his other clients and the whole atmosphere is one of collegiality, not competition. The facility is spotless and up-to-date and there is never any waiting for equipment. I can’t recommend the gym, or Ed Carp, enough.

Review №88

I have been working with Ed since 2011 and I cant begin to tell you what a difference he has made in my health and well being. I go to his gym 4-5 times a week and I follow a personalized program which has delivered more than I thought possible. I also do one-on-one training sessions with Ed from time to time which adds to my weekly program. First of all, Eds gym is the cleanest facility you will ever step into and that means a lot to me and says a lot about Ed. Second, Ed is very invested in each member of his gym and gives personal attention when needed. If he hasnt seen me in a few days, I get a phone call from him encouraging me to get back into the gym and I find that very motivating. The other members of the gym are very friendly and theres no attitude there which makes the environment very comfortable. I would highly recommend Physical Eds Fitness to anyone looking to better themselves from the inside out. You cant go wrong with such a dedicated owner/trainer and top-notch facility.

I have known Ed for over ten years and it gives me great pleasure to write this review. I have worked with him on/off and during this time nobody has motivated me more than Ed. Not only is he top of his game but he is very professional. He knows how to push people but in doing so insures proper body mechanics to prevent any injuries. He is a very busy guys but treats every client as if they were his first of the day. The members are like family and his facility is impeccable. I have tried fad workout such as spin,cross fit and barre sculpt but I have never seen the results Ed gives his clients.

I have trained with Ed Carp for the past two years and could not ask for a better experience! Ed is a very knowledgeable trainer who works closely with his clients on proper technique and appropriate pacing of strengthening exercises to maximize fitness and prevent injury. This has not been the case with previous personal trainers. His gym has a wide range of equipment that is always well maintained and available for us. I have never had to wait to use a machine or weights. The gym is clean, well lit and a pleasant space in which to work out. The hours are great and, unlike some other personal trainers, you can work out in the gym anytime you want, not just when you are being trained.Michael / Natick

I have trained with Ed for just over 2 years now and would NEVER go to anyone else! When you are in a personal training session with him, you have his complete attention. He is a great teacher, so I have learned how to lift weights and use the machines to my best advantage and without injury. I started with him for conditioning and have really noticed positive results. His equipment is immaculate and well maintained. I have never had to wait for equipment or feel rushed. When you work with Ed, you meet his other great clients -- most of whom have also been with him for years. I love the relaxed, cheerful atmosphere at his gym. I highly recommend Ed Carp. He is one-of-a-kind!!!Lee / Sherborn

Physical Eds is at new location in Natick, with a brand spanking new gym. Everything is sparkling clean, and it has the most amazing sound and HD video system(s).Ive been personal training with Ed for years. This is the best investment that I can make for myself.Ed is the reason why everyone is dedicated to exercising. He is so inspiring, and encouraging, and makes working out there a lot of fun. I had gone to Fitness Together for personal training before, and then I found Physical Eds. Now I would never go anywhere else; its almost like flying first class, once you get used to the best, you cant go anywhere else.Thank you Ed for motivating me and helping me keep in shape!

Physical Eds Fitness in Natick is a gym you have never experienced before. Nothing like it around. Of course what makes it such a great experience is owner and trainer Ed Carp.

Review №98

I have been a customer of this fitness center for over 10 years. Ed is a superb and knowledgeable trainer who will tailor your sessions to help you reach your goal, whether it is to lose weight, strengthen your body or simply to stay fit. His center is small, with wonderful equipment that is kept sparkling clean.Ed has created a place similar to Cheers where everyone knows your name and a location that is a home away from home. Ed takes special care to be sure that every new member is introduced to as many current members as possible and this helps to create a welcoming and friendly environment. Belonging to Physical Eds is like joining a new family of friends and buddies, all of whom share as much or as little of their lives as they wish, but many of whom can be supportive to you if you feel the need for help or assistance at various times in your life.Ed is very serious and professional about his training and he will nudge you if you slack-off or miss sessions, but he will do it in a very supportive method.If you want to join a fitness center that is spotlessly clean, with first class equipment and a serious and professional trainer, where you can work out in a friendly and supportive atmosphere, as opposed to some large and anonymous gym, Physical Eds is the place for you.
