VP Fitness

The easiest way to describe VP Fitness is that it combines the luxury of a 5-Star hotel with a Fitness Center concept. It’s an experience that keeps all their Members coming back and referring VP Fitness to their friends and Co-workers in the heart of downtown Providence. In my opinion VP Fitness is at the forefront of the Health Club Industry in Providence Rhode Island and in surrounding cities.From the lobby area to the high-end locker rooms, every detail was carefully designed to create an upscale ambiance. VP Fitness even provides complimentary towels for its Members and in the woman’s locker room, hair dryers and curling irons. Even the displays for their supplements, to their smoothie menu from their Nutrition Kitchen has been all carefully planned and executed in way that Members truly feel they are the central focal point of VP Fitness.No expense was spared with the state-of-the-art gym equipment that is elegantly placed and lined up in order to maximize work-out efficiency for all Members. Every piece of equipment down to the free weights, meets the highest standards of craftsmanship along with the highest level of safety features. When you walk into VP Fitness, you not only can see the level excellence with every aspect of the Fitness Club, you can also experience the superb Customer Service from all the Team Members. If you are working with one of their amazing Certified Personal Trainers, you are left with amazement at their level of expertise.You can even finish your workout with a relaxing massage or just relax in their sauna. To summarize, this place is AMAZING! Get the one day pass and check it out, its worth it. Once you do, you wont want to go to another Fitness club ever again.

I have been a member of VP Fitness and have worked with Joe for the last 5 months. I have had a great experience working with Joe and the other trainers at VP Fitness, and have greatly enjoyed the atmosphere at the club. The members who workout at VP Fitness all seem to be young, career driven young professionals and college students who value their personal fitness as a complement to their busy career and studies.Over the last five years I have struggled to find the motivation to get my health back and gain the confidence and composure I used to have when I was active and healthy. I tried four different trainers, multiple gyms, and even a new luxury apartment with the gym in the building, and none of these changes worked.It was Joe’s commitment to building a long-term fitness and health plan that really changed my attitude and gave me an opportunity to build a new fitness mentality from the ground up. Additionally, Joe’s enthusiasm and guidance for my activities outside of the training sessions has also been critical component in my improvement. Joe has emphasized that it is imperative to maintain continuous physical activity outside of the training sessions, and these activities need to be catered to your goals and abilities. Joe is also a licensed nutritionist, and his technical expertise regarding your diet outline is outstanding. VP Fitness has an online program setup to track all diets and displays all nutrition facts of your meals. This platform is the key to learning the important factors involving nutrition, as well as recognizing which diet and meal plan is suitable for your needs.I will say that if you joint VP Fitness and enroll in the training program, you need to strive for perfection and continuous improvement, and nothing less. Joe and his training team are always available will answer your questions you and give you the proper guidance and goals to for you to attain, but you are expected to meet and ultimately exceed these physical and nutritional goals every week. Joe will certainly work with you if you cannot obtain your goals for the week, but ultimately, you are expected to follow the plan exactly as outlined by Joe and his training team. Some examples of these goals that are outside of training sessions include – cardio durations, weight training plans outside of sessions, specific daily calorie levels of nutrition, nutrition balances having to do with carbs vs. protein vs fat, water and supplement recommendations, and appropriate timing of exercise and diet.Joe has worked with numerous clients, so he has an intricate knowledge of all types of different clients with respect to age, abilities, genetic health factors, as well as his client’s outside commitments to family, friends, work, etc. He can build an incredibly efficient program that suits the needs of his clients that satisfies all of these criteria. I have notice with my nutrition I am now incredibly efficient in cooking healthy, tasty meals that fulfill my nutrition goals, while still maintaining a balance with family, friends, and work. I am now able to budget my time to fit 3-4 training sessions per week, as well as 6 hours of cardio session that I do on my own.Lastly, I would like to point out that my most important gains have been with my social relationships with family and friends, and my performance at work. I have lost significant weight, look incredibly better, and am much stronger than I used to be over the last five years, but there are so many other factors in life that are not shown on a scale or in a beach photo. Specifically, at work I am better equipped to handle some major decisions and challenges, and I am more able to effectively lead my team to a safe and successful project.I would highly recommend training through Joe and his team at VP Fitness. I look forward to continuing to build my foundation of fitness and healthy living, as well as making improvements in all challenges in life.

VP stays true to their name. I bought a day pass and the cost was totally worth it. They have an extensive aerobic equipment, plenty of different weights, kettle bells, and dumbells for every type of gym preference and body type. I know where I am going to work out when I come back to Providence!

Joe and Stephanie are incredible trainers and really care. I came here looking to get fit again after a couple of stressful months, and they helped me build a healthy, sustainable routine. Thanks to them, I feel so much more confident now - and it's led to me doing so much better, not just physically, but also professionally. I highly recommend this gym and their trainers; I am so grateful to have received their guidance.

Jervis is an amazing personal trainer! Through the class sessions over the past couple of months I can see myself visibly improving and getting fitter. He really knows how to work with you based on your body type and fitness goals, as long as you don’t slack off yourself things will definitely get better under his instructions.The gym has great facility and all the machines you need for any type of fitness activity. It is a bit crowded at times so I have to work my schedule around the busy hours but that’s not too much of a problem since it’s open everyday for a significant amount of time.

I started going to VP Fitness about 4 months ago, and wanted to wait before writing a review until I felt like I had a good feel for the gym. After going three to four times a week since then, I cannot recommend this place enough. While the gym is clean, the equipment is new, and the location is easy to get to, what makes this gym stand apart from others is Joe and his staff. All of them are extremely personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely want to help you reach your goals. Through working with Joe and his trainers, I managed to lose 15 lbs. of body fat while at the same time stacking on 10 lbs. of lean mass. They were able to work through a prior injury that I had and were extremely careful to prevent re-injuring it.I think it's also notable that the gym offers many of the small conveniences that often get overlooked. Good sized lockers, clean towels, ample variety of supplements, a sauna, protein rich foods for when you're in a pinch, and even plastic bags to keep your used gym clothes (a gym bag saver). Five stars all day.

Best gym I’ve ever been to! It is very convenient for someone like myself who is always on the go. They offer a variety of snacks (clean) and smoothies to go not to mention how clean this place is at all times (including locker rooms/bathrooms).Most importantly, the environment here is different which makes it easy to look forward to going to the gym.I trained with Joe and in the short weeks I’ve been doing so I’ve never felt so confident like I do now!Price is great for everything offered!

The classes are taught by excellent instructors and are worth every penny. The people who run the gym are very professional and friendly. The place is so clean you can smell the cleaning product when you open the door entering the building. They have been good with COIVD19 making sure people have masks on. The trainers are all very friendly and helpful. I recommend this place to anyone who lives in the Providence area small but great. Thank you to the people who keep the gym running and for having amazing people who work there.

VP Fitness is the best family-owned boutique gym in Rhode Island. Period.Whether you want to bulk up with one of their Master Trainers or enjoy their delicious juice / smoothie bar and use the sauna, this health club has everything imaginable. I say health club because they are completely holistic with your fitness goals. Body positive. All walks of life are welcome for sure.The place is amazing, the staff are wonderful and the juices. Just go.

VP Fitness is awesome! They are super clean, always practices covid safety, and the staff is amazing. Joe is a great personal trainer, he not only keeps a great pace while training but helps with what needs to be done outside of the gym such as diet and a good exorcise program. Highly recommend
