PFP is awesome. If you have aesthetic goals they will certainly help you meet them, but that isn't really the focus of most of the people that work out here. Overall this is a very body-positive space. You're much more likely to get …

I have gone to PFP since they opened. Previously I was a member at LAF in Bakery Square, and PFP was a welcome change from the big corporate gym atmosphere. The personal interaction between the staff and clients makes for a much more welcoming environment. Tom and Brian have brought in a fantastic staff and created a great atmosphere to workout, whether it is through personal training or group fitness. There is lots of parking available and the location is great. Stop in today to check out PFP!
