TrainSMART Personal Fitness

Amazing instructors. I have made huge improvements in my strength training in just a few months. Highly recommend Joe and his team. They take their training very seriously and their passion for fitness is infectious. I recommend them without hesitation!

TrainSMART sets the standard for personal fitness, health and nutrition. If you do not read anymore of this review, just know that you will not find a more encouraging and knowledgeable staff than at TrainSMART, and you should not hesitate or be intimidated by walking in their doors and improving your life.I referred my mother, who was in her early 60s, to TrainSMART and Joe Fox (President) in hopes of her finding someone that would truly invest in her and optimize her health. Joe has exceeded all expectations in this regard. After years of trying the “start-walking-on-the-treadmill and then lift-this-weight” trainers at various local gyms, we found someone that did not just settle on what is typical. Instead, Joe started with a blank sheet of paper and truly evaluated the health needs of my mother and developed a program that was right for her. It is not a static program either; it evolves and adapts as progress is made, maintaining a challenging yet achievable tempo. The personalized program is grounded in Joe’s decades of experience and true love for what he does.Further, the encouragement that Joe offers is incredible. He has taken someone that was once intimidated and scared of a gym setting and turned her into a confident and motivated individual. The positive change that I have seen in my mother’s life over just a few months is profound. She is physically stronger, more confident, mentally healthier and, most importantly, simply happier. I did not think this change was possible. If someone told me that Joe walked on water, I would believe them :)This is not just a review of TrainSMART. It is a public thank you to Joe and his staff for going above and beyond to make a positive difference in people’s lives. It may sound extreme, but I believe they have set my mother on an entirely different path towards a higher quality of living and in all likelihood added years if not decades to her life. Thank you for what you are doing and continue to do – the world needs more people like those at TrainSMART.

I've been working out with TrainSMART for six months, and I am seeing amazing changes in my strength, core stability and confidence in my body image! This is no ordinary gym! My customized fitness plan is like no other I have experienced in past gyms, group workout classes, or fitness regimes.It is effective and fast. Some of the exercises I could not even do in the beginning were tweaked to meet me where I was at, and now I do them well, without the modification. Before I started with Trainsmart, I was in a lot of back pain and joint pain in my knees ankles, and wrists. My balance and stability were weak. Now that pain is mostly gone, and my core stability is so much stronger!I highly recommend jumping in and taking your body to levels that will surprise you! I am so happy I did!!

Joe and his team are very knowledgeable and take the time to teach you how to work out safely. Each coach is pleasant and is also familiar with you and your training plan. I am grateful to Joe for his knowledge, compassion, and taking time to talk roy me about my goals. Give TrainSmart a try, you will be happy you did!

This Spring I have been an intern at TrainSMART Personal Fitness and the experience has been so amazing. Day in and day out I am reminded of the passion and determination that TrainSMART puts into making sure that each and every one of their clients achieve their goals. All of the trainers are very likeable and knowledgeable individuals who always go the extra mile to ensure the clients safety and success. It has been a pleasure being able to spend this Spring working with and learning from TrainSMART. If you are looking to get in shape, relieve joint/back pain, or simply just feel better about yourself, TrainSMART is the perfect gym for you!

I've been training at TrainSMART for about seven months now and I am beyond impressed. Not only is the facility extremely convenient for me, being located in the same building as where I work, but the staff and trainers are all truly top-notch. They are incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and gracious, especially Dr. Mancuso, who has worked very closely with me to design my programs and keep me on track and motivated toward my goals.Prior to starting at TrainSMART, I was nearing the end of my rope with my lower back issues that had been plaguing me for years. I had tried everything short of surgery, but nothing seemed to provide any lasting relief. My chiropractor recommended I give Physical Therapy a try and I was turned on to TrainSMART by a coworker who had a great experience with them.In the short time that I've been training there, I have had a transformational improvement in my lower back health. I am happy to report that I am almost symptom-free now and am able to enjoy activities that I thought were lost to me forever.Overall, I cannot recommend TrainSMART enough. Even if I did not work in the same building I would still take time out of my busy week to go there and get in a workout. They brought me back from the edge and with their help I now live a more fulfilling life.That you Brandon and Joe and everyone at TrainSMART!

The team at TrainSmart are first class! Working with Molly has been a pleasure; her attention to detail and focus on developing my program to eliminate back pain has propelled my personal fitness to a new level. Joe has been an incredible resource with an eye for detail. He connected me with renowned back pain specialists in the area. He not only set up an appointment for me to see a specialist, but also attended the appointment along with Molly,payed close attention to the doctor's recommendations, and integrated the doctor's recommendations into my program immediately. You're not going to find dedication and attention like the folks at TrainSmart anywhere else. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!

TrainSMART has changed my life and that is not an exaggeration. I had the unfortunate experience of having severe and debilitating knee pain right before Christmas 2022. It was clear that this was not something that would improve without some life changes and professional support.I stated training with Joe Fox at TrainSMART after the start of the New Year. With his excellent knowledge base and ability to motivate, I was quickly on my way to recovery (WITH NO SURGERY!) I started out limping and barely able to walk, but after three months. I can most days walk without any pain and I continue to improve. I feel healthier and stronger since I began training with Joe. By the way, I'm a 64 year old woman! He has taught me it is never too late to adopt healthy habits! He is incredibly supportive, patient and kind. I feel comfortable with him and his establishment, and he continues to increase my confidence everyday. I used to despise exercise but now I miss it when I happen to miss a session at TrainSMART. Do yourself a favor, do not put it off, start now. I wish I had picked up the phone and called Joe many years ago.

I’ve been an intern here at TrainSMART Personal Fitness for the past 4 months as an undergraduate at the University at Buffalo studying Exercise Science. My experience so far has been nothing short of incredible. Mr. Joe Fox and Dr. Brandon Mancuso has inspired not only myself, but all the interns here to strive to be the best versions of ourselves, to never stop learning, and to prioritize our clients in keeping them safe. They have given me the necessary tools to succeed in my career and have put the time and effort into furthering my knowledge in functional exercises, stretches, and techniques to make sure that every client is taken care of in a safe and professional manner. I’ve even been given the opportunity to train clients one-on-one and develop relationships. It’s been a great experience so far and I’m looking forward to learning even more here at TrainSMART.

I am currently an intern at TrainSMART and it has been an amazing experience. Interns at TrainSMART are given the ability to train clients. We are assigned workshops and articles that reinforce fundamental principles and teach us the importance of the top prescribed exercises at TrainSMART so that we can ensure that clients perform exercises correctly. Joe Fox and Dr. Brandon Mancuso have taught us so much about low back pain, the importance of creating relationships with clients, and so much more. It has been an amazing internship that have given me the tools to be successful in my future career!
