Joined Coastal 5 weeks ago and absolutely have found the gym I’ve been looking for!! Training in a class setting but feels like one on one training with a coach. Coaches are wonderful, know you by name within days and help ensure that you …

Coastal is the only gym I'd go to. Period. Started at Coastal about 2 1/2 years ago and it's best described as group personal training -- dare you to find that anywhere else locally with all it's got. It's all functional fitness - no hurting yourself like you do at other gyms (hell no, CrossFit, and personal trainers who don't know what they're doing!). It's geared for people over 35 - we're not dressed to impress - and the coaches have all been there since the start (8+ yrs ago?). The coaches know everyone by name and your style of workout when you show up for that day's class within the larger, planned workout program. It's not some random workout you just show up for, and that's what makes it satisfying and successful. I honestly don't have to think. That takes a lot of stress out of the workout, when someone's doing the thinking and planning for you. No more walking into a gym during any day and looking at the machines going, "What do I do today?" There are a number of folks with hurt, and/or recovering bodies, and the coaches are good at providing modifications- no embarrassment here. It's the norm. And BTW, it's not one of those rah-rah atta boy/girl gym with lots a hyping... and definitely no yelling. Instead it's lots of oversight and helpful, chill guidance from the easy-going and extremely knowledgeable coaches. They're all seriously and genuinely into helping folks get or stay fit safely. It's a tremendously upbeat place where we know each other, and truly look forward to seeing each other, and have a lot of fun while working out hard... or as hard as you want to -- it's up to you.BTW they also have a nutrition program, AKA diet program, and I've lost 38 pounds this year with their low stress approach.Ultimately, this is my happy place. And from the looks of many others it is their happy place too. It can be anyone's. Check it out, and you'll be hooked.

Coastal Strength & Fitness does all the research & planning for you! All you literally have to do is show up! Your workouts are created for you! Plus, you get the knowledge & support from the coaches during your workout! CSF is NOT CrossFit! CSF will challenge you to build endurance and strength at your own skill level. I have been a member for 6.5 years and absolutely love every aspect of this gym…the trainers, nutrition advice, workouts, the other members & the facility!

Coastal Strength & Fitness has made me feel so welcomed! I was nervous to start at a gym. Didn’t know what to expect, but literally all you need to do is show up for class!! They show you how to do each exercise ( and modifications) prior to starting the sets at each class. The coach is there to help with correcting posture / positioning and challenging you to improve each week! The class goes by quick!! In and out in less than 50 mins!! Already seeing results after 1.5 months of 2-3 days per week!! They can also provide a guide for nutrition and offer 1on1 nutrition counseling service. I’m hooked! Highly recommend!Special thanks to Will, Diego and Kristen !! You all are amazing!!❤️

Love the people, the trainers are incredible. I have knee issues and they work with me to modify the exercises so I get the maximum benefit without damaging my knees.

I’ve always had commitment issues with other gyms, Coastal makes it easy to stay committed and motivated!

Great place! They are always motivating you to do better. I’ve been a member for a year and a half and have lost over 40lbs and feel so much better!

Before I joined Coastal I was walking the Noland Trail and doing Pilates and Yoga 3-4 times a week. But I was losing muscle mass. Within the first month of working out at Coastal I can now get out of my car without pain (left leg stronger) and my next goal is to be able to pick up my 6 year old disabled grandson, who doesn’t walk, without hurting my back. The coaches have been so helpful and supportive!

In early 2021 I signed up for a month long trial membership at Coastal Strength & Fitness on a whim after seeing an ad while scrolling through Facebook. Looking back that was the best decision I had made for my health and fitness in over a decade. I cannot say enough good things about this gym. The coaches are knowledgeable and supportive. Members are friendly and from all fitness levels. All you have to do is show up!
