Personal Level Fitness- Private Training

Before COVID hit, I felt (and was reasonably fit), I spent a lot of time outdoors and my eating habits were good (rarely ate gluten, very little red meat, almost no (added) sugar...) then, when I moved to working at home and drastically changing our family routine, my habits shifted, I gained 40 lbs in about 7 months and also became more sedentary (and you know how that spiral goes!) Enter Personal Level Fitness (PLF); I knew I wanted help to get back on track and I also wanted to be as safe as possible re: COVID, so PLF was the perfect solution. As soon as I spoke to Alex on the phone I was sold. I could tell she understood what I needed, she listened (she's a great listener), she didn't over-promise and I knew by her forthrightness and honesty that PLF would be a good fit...From the time I did my first fitness assessment, through my work with all the members of her team--Thank you, Megan, John, Carlos, Shay-lon and Brittany! You are all great motivators; you are all kind and friendly; you all know your stuff and you each bring your particular talents to the workouts--I have felt inspired and supported...I now feel like I am back on track and re-enthused about working out, thanks to Alex, Bernie and the PLF trainers. Kudos for putting together a stellar team.

I’ve trained at PLF for about a year and a half. I could not recommend them more strongly. The trainers are professionals who really care. The results have been really amazing. I truly look forward to my sessions which has made it sustainable for me.

I absolutely LOVE going to the gym when it’s PLF! I feel motivated and cared for as a person. I really love the private training rooms; the privacy provides a safe environment to push myself and not feel dumb like I have in other gyms. I have seen so many personal gains in the 4 months I’ve been coming here. Well worth the cost!

I have been a client at PLF for almost a year. I find all of the employees to be professional, friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, and sincere. They are always welcoming and encouraging. While some people may prefer working with the same trainer, I find I enjoy the rotation. Each trainer has his/her own expertise and training style, which prevents stagnation and complacency when training. They are always ready to share their knowledge and seem genuinely concerned and interested in not only your fitness goals, but also your well being. As a client, you come to realize that the question, "what's for dinner," has taken on new meaning. It's not meager small-talk at PLF; it's actually the staff ensuring that your fitness experience is holistic and doesn't end when you leave the training room or the cardio lineup. As for drawbacks, the primary ones are that the cardio space is limited and the equipment could be updated. However, I sort of consider this area a bonus and the equipment in the training rooms (which are spacious) is all top-notch. The final drawback for me is expense, but they are very open about their pricing plans and, really, good things cost money (plus I don't have a lot to compare it to). Despite those, I still give them 5 stars. Overall, I highly recommend PLF for anyone of any fitness level who wants an experience to grow and learn with the help of a quality staff and environment.

Our daughter was a member at Personal Fitness during her time at OSU. We cant say enough great things about her experience there. The owners are extrodinarily caring, professional and well educated on all aspects of fitness and nutrition. Her trainers had advanced certification in several fitness modalities, patient when necessary; however, certaily motivating in their work. Visits to Personal Level were amongst her very favorite things to do while at school and as we talk about new fitness centers in her new location, we both know how difficult it will be to have the same experience. Personal Level- you've set the bar extremely high and thank you so much for taking such good care of our daughter!!

UPDATE: 5 Months later, I am still working out three times a week. I feel so much better, I am down 16 inches overall. My workouts are strong, my balance has gotten so much better. In these tough times, it is nice to go workout in a studio that is concerned about the trainers really care about helping you get the most out of your workouts. Typically a different trainer each session. I look forward to my workouts! Check them out - you are worth it!After years of being very sedentary I knew l needed to make a change. Being in my early 60’s I realized my balance was off. Last thing l wanted to do was take a fall or hurt myself.I started at Personal Level Fitness in February 2020. During the stay at home Covid period they offered online workouts via video sessions!I really could tell things were changing for me - working on balance and just plain moving was a goal I met. Once we were back in the studio. My workouts changed - new routines and heavier weights - l noticed little things - muscles in my arms - a firmer mid-section. Lower Blood Pressure! The weight is starting to come off with nutrition guidance too helps me realize l am on the right track.The sessions are great and not boring - you work with all the trainers too! Not one person doing the same routine. All the trainers are professional and personal too!Looking to make a change - I recommend checking out the facility - you wont be disappointed!

PLF provides individualized support toward goals related to weight loss, strength training, flexibility, nutrition and general wellness. The staff are unique in their training and specialities. The owner is committed and passionate about providing quality services with expertise.

I love everything about PLF with the exception of the cardio studio, and that’s more personal preference. The moment you walk in you are greeted by an upbeat personal trainer who is ready to get your workout started. You move, sweat, and maybe even groan a little bit during your workout with PLF trainers. They start you where you are comfortable, but that’s it. From there, they continually challenge you to set goals and improve your performance. And whereas other trainers might push a little too much, PLF trainers take the time to ask you how your body is feeling each day so that if necessary they can modify or take it easy so you are still getting the workout you want while giving your body the recovery needs. Now, the reason I don’t like the cardio room is because I like to disappear in the sea of treadmills so the focus isn’t on me. At PLF, your cardio time is your own but it’s a limited space and a bit of a tight squeeze.

I am a 51 year old female and have been a member for nearly 3 years now and continue to be so happy with the results that they help me achieve. With their encouragement, I have maintained the improvements in my strength, endurance, muscle tone and overall fitness and flexibility. I have lost over 13 inches overall, 15 lbs, and completed the 75 mile route of Pelotonia this summer. The trainers here are experienced, consistent in their approach, patient and always positive and motivating - while helping me maintain personal accountability. They work with me where I am without ever making me feel "negative" or down at times when I struggle. I am so pleased to have found this studio.

I have been usingPersonal Level Fitness for the past two years. Love the results that I have achieved. The structure of the training sessions help you meet your goals. Great trainers!
