The Edge Fitness Clubs

I began personal training with Ted Lipp when he was at the Hamden Edge location. He has since transferred to the Stratford Edge. In the time that we trained together, Ted was very approachable, knowledgeable and portrayed a general desire to help his clients achieve their goals. His undivided attention to my safety, ensuring and guiding me in maintaining correct form was always appreciated. His sincerity and friendly personality were an added bonus. Unfortunately Stratford is a bit far for me to travel, otherwise I would still be on his client list. A great trainer with proven results. 🙌🏻

My wife and I have visited at least 4 different Edge Fitness was was very impressed with all of them top notch facility 💪🥇🏋️👍 …

Since becoming a member of The Edge Fitness Club my daughter and I were match with the best Trainer Stratford Edge has to offer - 🌸 “ANNOUNCING THE AMAZING ESTEPHANIE P.” 🌸 After meeting with Estep, we discussed our goals, set meal plans, she even modified the workouts to a level comfortable, but extremely effective for my daughter.As a trainer she listens, she’s firm but very patient, extremely energetic and enthusiastic, very involved during our sessions. He passion for what she does makes it so much easier to work with her because it shows that she cares about our health and well being. You are amazing Estephanie we look forward every week to seeing you and working with you. Thanks for being so compassionate and caring 🙏🏽

The Edge Stratford is my "happy place"! Everyone is friendly and it's a great environment to get your workout in! But James McInerney is my fav! His attention to detail and the changes he's made in my workout are awesome! Even when I think I have things completely dialed in he finds a way to tweek it and make it that much better! Thanks guys 😊

Personal Trainer Theodore is a great trainer! Very smart in body building and weight loss.

I began personal training with Ted Lipp at the Stratford Edge in January, 2023. Previous to joining The Edge, I had done several bootcamp style workouts, as well as running and fitness videos at home. Having Ted as my personal trainer has been a total game changer! When I first started, I was a total beginner, and was very intimidated by the gym environment. I didn't know how to work most of the machines, and would not have known where to start if I was on my own. One of the things I most appreciated about Ted was that he took the time to assess my ability and developed a strength training program that was appropriate for me. If I didn't know an exercise or how to use a piece of equipment, he took the time to teach me. As someone who tends to ask a lot of questions, I found that Ted was always very knowledgeable, and could answer any question I threw at him. He could easily show me the correct way to do any exercise, and explain how it was working the various muscles, or what benefit it was having for me. He's a stickler for form and making sure you are performing the exercise correctly - to ensure you don't injure yourself. He's always paying attention, gives good, immediate feedback, and is a natural teacher. Working with him has built my confidence with strength training and in the gym in general, and I've seen amazing results in a short period of time.Every time I work with Ted, it is obvious he loves what he does and that he really enjoys helping others accomplish their goals. He always celebrates my wins, and is truly invested in helping me accomplish my goals. Ted also appropriately challenges me, and I've been able to accomplish way more than I thought possible thanks to his encouragement. Ted brings a fun and positive energy to our sessions and although I didn't know how long I'd stay with a personal trainer when I began, I can now say it's something I can see myself sticking with for years to come. I'm so grateful to Ted and all he's helped me accomplish! I highly recommend him to everyone!

5 Starts for StephEarlier this year, as part of my decision to invest in my health, I connected with personal trainer, Stephanie Aponte at Edge fitness which was the best decision ever. She's bilingual (Eng & Spanish) which makes it easier for me to communicate with her. The two months we have been training together, I have seen such a difference in my physical appearance, and improvement in my health and confidence. Steph is knowledgeable in her field and passionate about helping her clients. She understands my concerns, adjusts to my needs and yet pushes me to challenge myself. Trainers like Steph have a huge impact on clients at Edge fitness because she runs that extra mile with them to get them where they need to be. Thank you Stephanie for your diligence and dedication!!!

This gym is awesome;A sauna, a massage chair, a hydro massage…. A women’s area to workout, shakes, juices, protein bars and more sold on site.That’s not even the best part… the trainers are so nice and knowledgeable. Steph is my trainer and she is great! She sends me workouts and texts me in the app to keep me motivated. She is knowledgeable, helpful and cares!

This gym is great! Definitely got me out of my comfort zone but the 5 stars is because of Steph. Having Estephanie Ponce as my personal trainer has been amazing! She’s patient, kind, motivating & flexible with schedules. Takes her time to reach out to her clients to make sure everything is going ok and gives great advice. On the edge app Steph assigns me the best workouts and planned meals that’ll help me to my goals. I can tell she really cares about her clients and will do whatever it takes to help them💪🏻. I reached some major goals because of her and can’t thank her enough:) The other staff there are also so friendly and helpful!

I’ve been training with Courtney at the Stratford Edge for a few years. She brings a professional style to her workouts, but also makes it fun to train. Three years ago, I had knee replacement surgery. Courtney was there for me for the time leading up to my surgery and was was instrumental in getting my knee back to better than normal. Her work with me, post op even impressed my surgeon. In my humble opinion, Courtney continues to impress with every workout.
