VP Fitness

I have been a member at VP Fitness for the past 5 years and have been extremely pleased with the attention to detail, cleanliness and professionalism of the entire staff. I have utilized both their nutritional coaching and personal training. Recently, I injured my ACL and was released by my doctor to go back to the gym. However, my knee still lacked the strength to return to normal workouts. I contacted Joe and I have been working with him over the past month to regain my strength, mobility and flexibility. I am now on the cusp of getting back to a normal workout routine. I highly recommend them.

If you live in and around Providence and are looking for an accessible, incredibly well equipped and maintained gym with a low key, cool vibe, friendly staff and expert trainers, VP fitness is the place to go. Best gym I have been to hands down. If you want to work out on your own, you will find everything you need. The list of equipment is too long to catalog ..And if you are serious about making up for years of less than committed conditioning, Joe Depena and his trainers will work with you to design and implement a graduated exercise and nutritional program to get you back to where you want to be. Happy client for 3 years and counting…

Joe’s team was very welcoming and professional. My experience at VP Fitness was great. Very clean and state of the art equipment. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to become part of a gym that makes you feel welcomed. Reach out to Joe.

The gym is excellent, clean great energy, the womens changing room/bathroom are amazing with hair dyers and curling iron. The front desk staff are super friendly and protein shakes are awesome. You also receive personalized welcoming from owner, trainers and staff. The owners organization to keep you on track is great!!!

I was referred to VP Fitness by a friend after being disappointed by many other gyms. I love VP because it’s clean, organized and it offers a professional environment and trainers. Joe is extremely motivating and listens & understands each client's limitations & goals. It’s clear that he loves what he does based on his actions and the way he treats each client. VP Fitness is undoubtedly the best gym in RI !!

Stephanie is the absolute best personal trainer, and I highly recommend anyone looking for a personal trainer to work with her! I had 5 weeks before an event that I wanted to get in better shape for, and Stephanie helped me achieve 100% of my goals and feel awesome for the event. She is a smart and supportive fitness coach and I had the best time working with her, learned so much and feel confident about working out! 10/10!

I've been going to VP Fitness for nearly 18 months and it has been one of the best decisions I've ever made in regard to my fitness. The gym is exceptionally clean and the team members are very personable. On top of this the personal training sessions are second to none which is why I have rated VP Fitness with 5 stars. If you are serious about improving your mental well-being and physical appearance this is the gym for you.

I have never done a negative review before and have multiple friends who are small business owners so I understand the implications and regret that Joe has left me no choice. He refuses to take my son’s calls even though he requested such. He has waited over a week for a return call. I completely understand the policy that the members of the club need to cancel memberships in writing but I didn’t before. I called VP fitness 4 different times asking them to cancel my son’s membership, that he no longer even lived in Providence and NOT once was I told that he needed to cancel in writing or I would have immediately had my son do so! Instead, my credit card continued to be billed $55 per month. It was very clear that my son wasn’t using the membership as evidenced by lack of electronic check ins at the facility and I was calling repeatedly. Joe claims he didn’t hear back when he emailed my son so just continued to bill my card. He refuses to credit my card for even 2 months, my attempt at a compromise.I will be opening a dispute case w my credit card and will pursue other legal options. I am not the member or previous member of VP fitness but I am the credit card holder and have multiple email communications with Joe.Joe, you didn't answer or address any issue/concern, took absolutely no accountability and instead lashes out claiming I have no merit. Anyone reading my review can see my agenda. I had zero aggressive phone calls with anyone at VP fitness, in fact I have never had an aggressive phone call with a business in my life. Sorry to blow up your predictable attempt of spinning any negative review as a character attack on the reviewer as you did in the other recent review from Andrew.

If Google had a 6-star review option, I would give it to VP Fitness.I've been to many gyms over the years and VP is by far the best. The facilities are spotless, the music is always bumping, the staff are friendly and respectful, and it has a great community vibe.Prior to joining VP fitness I worked with a different personal trainer for 2+ years. In just 3 months of training at VP with Jervis Rosario I have gained more strength and muscle definition than I did in the two years prior. I've never felt so good about my body. Jervis is an awesome guy to work with. He's motivating, holds me accountable, and truly cares about my progress. I look forward to coming to VP every day and I never want to let Jervis down.Everyone else at VP is awesome. The front desk staff are pleasant and greet me with a smile, the General Manager Stephanie is always encouraging and works wonders in the massage room, and the owner Joe goes out of his way to make sure every member is taken care of and enjoying themselves.This isn't just the best gym in PVD or RI, this is the best gym PERIOD!

This facility is absolutely the best. Joe and his team do an amazing job at making you feel supported and helping you get a step further to your fitness goals. I have been to many upscale gyms before but none like this one. It’s an experience to say the least. Thank you VP!
