Really great team here at Strong Island Fitness. They truly care about their clients and create a family-like atmosphere. For example, during my consultation session I was intro’d to another woman by name who was there for the first time.Highly recommend Julian as a Personal Trainer!!! He is thorough, compassionate and understands the body (he has a degree in kinesthesiology). He properly warms up his clients and talks them through the right way to do the exercises. He varies up the sessions so your body will get a good workout. Plus, he can talk and keep count - ha!Love the people and vibe here and highly recommend Strong Island Fitness for Personal Training as well as group classes.

I've been a Strong Island customer for years upon years now. If it wasn't for Rick, I would not be in the great shape I am in. He changed me from a lazy senior who hated exercise to a healthy, strong person who likes to walk, exercise, travel and dive. He has helped me overcome a broken shoulder and two knee surgeries. I am so grateful to him!

Been a client for over two years and my trainer Carolina is the best. Strong Island is a personal training studio, not a monthly fee gym; as long as you have a session with your personal trainer, you can use the facilities as much as you want that week. Rick, the owner, is fantastic: he knows everyone's name, and the gym feels like a cozy little community. No bait and switch, no upselling, just lovely people helping you attain your fitness goals.

I never could have fathomed that I could enjoy a fitness place so much and get so much out of it. Strong Island is truly one of a kind, and above and beyond the experience you could get anywhere else. My own trainer, Bridgette, is now basically my hero. She listened to my goals and diligently constructed amazing and fun workouts to perfectly work toward and successfully attain those goals. But beyond that, every single trainer here is an incredible and beautiful human being in all respects. They all work to learn your name, and great you with a smile and friendly and encouraging conversation. Whether you're going in to train for something exceptionally tough and rugged, or you have an injury you're rehabbing or anything in between, Strong Island is the place to go if you want to achieve your goals, feel great about yourself, and be surrounded by people you'll want to call family. I couldn't recommend it strongly enough (pun not intended).

I am only here for a week and looked for a gym to exercise. This was the closest, but a really nice small and personal one. Very friendly owner who welcomed me and my brother.
