Personalized fitness programs at a serious value. I train with Troy and he creates challenging workouts that push me and my group to achieve our personalized goals. Troy has a relaxed personality but is meticulous on form and technique. I would strongly recommend this gym for beginners to well experienced lifters. Plus there is ample street parking, plus plus!

I have been working out at PushU since Thanksgiving and its been great. The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. The trainers are friendly and professional. Through PushU, I order my weekly meals to stay on track with my diet. It helps me a lot not to cheat due to my hectic work schedule. Not only am I accomplishing my goals, but I am achieving a better lifestyle.

I train with Troy and it has been an awesome experience. He is truly dedicated to fitness, health and his clients. He provides challenging workouts each and every time, while focusing on you individually in a group setting. I love the environment of the gym and they play good music. There are added benefits too...different vendors with health drinks, meal prep plans, massages, etc.

I currently train with Justin (TAL Fitness Training). After just a few months in Justin's program I feel better internally and I am getting compliments left and right. He is very organized, keeping track my weight, and measurements. His services doesn't stop within the walls of Push U. Justin strives for maximum impact and will check in with you on your progress outside of the gym as well.Push U continues to amaze me. Aside from personal training they offer a variety of classes from nutrition to kick boxing! Push U covers, health & wellness, physical fitness and nutrition. They show you that overall health is a lifetime goal. Encouragement and technique comes from both trainers and clients. There is always somewhere to park and they even have an area for kids to play while you work out. I recommend this gym to beginners and advanced fitness levels.

Push U creates an atmosphere where you feel comfortable and actually enjoy the workout environment. All the trainers are welcoming and pretty down to earth. Working out with Troy in particular has been beyond what was expected. I went in with one goal and constantly find myself reaching that goal and having to make a new one. Great trainer and with a great personality- can't beat it! They even take music requests.

My wife and I have been working out with Justin since mid-January. He and his co-founders definitely named this gym appropriately because the sessions absolutely PUSH you! The other trainers are phenomenal and extremely nice. There's a synergy you can literally feel when you walk through the door. It's obvious that Justin and his team approach all aspects of fitness as a lifestyle and not just a hobby. I appreciate how he monitors our form during the workouts (to reduce the likelihood of injury) and holds us accountable with nutrition and measurement check-ins. Given our hectic work and travel schedule, I also appreciate his flexibility in adjusting the timing of our workouts based on availability. I'd have no reservations whatsoever recommending this gym to friends and family!

I had a great experience at this gym and with my trainer, Justin. The gym is filled with warm, caring, and motivated people. It was a pleasure being around so much positivity in just one space. As for my trainer, Justin, he really pushed me to keep going and to work hard for what I want. Because of him I was able to lose 10 pounds in just four weeks. Before I started my training, I was in a very uncomfortable place with how I felt about my life and my body. Just by working with him and getting into better shape, I feel like my life is coming together. Losing weight in a healthy way has given me the boost I need to keep taking care of myself and to stay motivated to seek more results. Justin Taylor is absolutely a great trainer. Anyone would be lucky to work with him! He's strict, but working with him pays off!

I've been working out with Justin for almost 6 months. The pounds are dropping and I feel stronger every week. I'm very picky when it comes to trainers but after seeing all of the before and after pictures Justin has on Instagram I was sold. What I love about Justin is he gives me a great workout while helping me focus on creating healthier eating habits at the same time. The accountability with nutrition is priceless. His rates are great, parking is easy and the gym is filled with friendly people. My husband and I usually train together and Justin continues to challenge both of us. Definitely glad we chose Justin!

I've been with Push U for almost a year. And I love them. I train with Troy who has always been very flexible with me as a business owner but also demands my best effort. I like the overall team of trainers as they work well together and share resources for the best outcome for each of their clients. It also feels good to be in a private setting --it helps all of us to feel more comfortable. I've never felt bad about where I was because as hard as they work us the trainers are not judgmental. I highly recommend this gym. Best in the city!
