“Been coming here many yearsRon is a great trainerHis knowledge cover many aspects of training , wellness and nutrition.“
“BDx Fitness truly lives up to the hype. I was looking for a fitness center to try out in Shelton and noticed the 5 star reviews so decided to check it out and I am glad I did. All the coaches are super friendly and more than willing to help you out wherever you are on your journey. I will like to give a special shout out to coach Ruben who I have been training with. He is honest, open, motivating (i love his quote: No challenge, no change), supportive, and I especially like how he is client focused. When he is working with you he is only focused on your workout and helping you reach your goals (he truly tunes everyone out) which I appreciate. I will end with a personal example to show much Ruben and BDx Fitness have truly helped me out. One exercise I have been working hard on is leg press and when I first started, my PR was around 140 lbs. After working with Ruben and training hard based on his program, I have gotten my PR up to 300 lbs (all in a few months). I highly recommend checking this place out and hope you have the same experience as I and many others do.“
“As a woman in my late 40s, losing weight has become a whole new challenge as my body and it's needs have changed. I knew I needed help but wasn't willing to go to a gym. Then I found Marc. His skill set is advanced for sure, but what really puts him over the top is his ability to not only listen, but to accommodate. He comes directly to my home and provides any and all equipment we need to work with that day. So all I needed to do was be ready to workout and be willing to follow his nutrition recommendations. In the short 12 weeks I've been with him so far, I've lost 25lbs and 5 inches from my waist alone. I highly recommend Marc Ouellette because his abilities expand far beyond helping with weight loss. If you're preparing for any kind of a fitness challenge or just want to get back into shape, he will listen to your needs and concerns and work with you to accomplish your goals. Thanks Marc!“
“I have been going to R3 in Hamden for approximately 6 months and I have nothing but the best things to say about it! I have been working with John regularly but have also had the opportunity of meeting another trainer Matt. Both John and Matt are incredibly professional, dedicated and hardworking. From my first day at R3 to this very day they listen to my goals, concerns and help me achieve my goals in weight loss and getting stronger. They answer any questions I have and they truly want me to do better. I look forward to going to my sessions there. My only regret is not joining sooner!If you’re contemplating on joining or lacking motivation R3 has truly revamped my mentality on fitness and staying active and motivated for the better!“
“Franny is my savior. It goes without saying he is the best at what he does. I have been training for a few months now and my overall health has improved greatly. My doctors are pleased with my progress. I have 2 new hips and 1 new knee. Fran is invaluable in helping me get my legs back, building strength and regaining stability. Win The Day Training is a blessing and definitely life changing.“
“Kudos to Jolene and the crew at Anything Goes Fitness. I had my annual physical today and while I still have work to do to bring my weight down, all vitals, strength tests, blood work and the like show that I am healthy and doing well. My doctor commented on how much healthier I am then many 30 somethings he sees. I can't take all (or most of) the credit. The strength training and dietary guidance from Anything Goes and Jolene have help tremendously as has a regular program of exercise. Thank you Anything Goes!!!“

“I have been working with Active Wellness now for over 4 years, and I highly recommend working with them. We started with workouts in person in their New Haven studio, but then the Pandemic started and I moved to a different state. Since then, Christina and Drew have been more than accommodating in working with me remotely, which we have done for 3 years.Over the course of that journey, I've had very different goals at different phases in my life. The first phase was before and during the Pandemic, when I managed to lose 45 pounds and reach my lowest weight since college, while reaching my peak fitness in that same period.Christina and Drew were incredible in building a foundation of fitness with a regimented program that built incrementally, starting from my core strength and building all the stabilization muscles to enable all planes of movement without risking injury. I had prior experience with workout plans from high school sports, and I don't think I could have found a program that worked so well without Christina and Drew's help. Workouts were incredibly varied, so it felt new and refreshing, and I felt new muscles get fatigued like my obliques and gluteus medius.It was also great to have individual and group coaching sessions during the Pandemic that helped contextualize the research behind diet, nutrition, muscle building, and fitness with the backdrop of mental wellness and finding motivation to reach our individual goals. These really helped me focus on maintaining my diet to keep my weight loss journey going, since diet is just as important as exercise, if not more so.After the pandemic, I went through a life transition, which meant attending far more social functions and finding far less time to workout. Christina and Drew were nonjudgmental and completely accepting that my life priorities were different now, so our training and coaching would reflect maintaining a base level of health and fitness as opposed to the level of dedication I had during the Pandemic. My core is still as strong as ever, but I have definitely regained a few pounds.Christina and Drew are truly kind, supportive, and helpful in trying to fill whatever blindspots you're struggling with in your health journey. For example, when I had questions on difficult subjects like resting metabolic rates of calorie burning between a pound of muscle vs a pound of fat, they did their homework on their own time to get me an answer. It really shows they are personally invested in your health and success, no matter what your individual goals may be. I unequivocally recommend working with Active Wellness to anyone who is able.“
“I have only been working with Lou for a few months and the changes in my body are huge. When I started my knee pain was debilitating. With Lou’s knowledge and custom program my knees have strengthened and the pain has all but disappeared. I cannot wait to see what the future holds . Lou is helping me rebuild my body after years of abuse from extra weight. Lou makes you feel comfortable, no judgement. Lou has also helped me greatly with my mindset. I have always doubted myself with exercise, never thought I could not accomplish a thing. With Lou’s guidance and positive support my confidence has soared. All I have to say is Lou is amazing! I am so glad I took a chance and stepped into his gym.“
“A great place to work hard, with great instructors and an encouraging CrossFit family type atmosphere“
“Really great classes & instructors- flexibility of in person and online is so wonderful for someone like me that has a really busy schedule with unexpected changes! Also really love the reformer classes, it’s really so life changing when you’re able to use the equipment- it’s addicting!“
“Craig is an amazing PT. He is incredibly knowledgeable and works on figuring out your problem. I have a complex and long term back injury that no one else has been able to figure out. Craig found a regimen that works for me and keeps me pain free for extended periods of time. I couldn’t recommend anyone better!“
“MSA is amazing! I've been doing Dawn's Zoom workouts since April and I could not love them more! Dawn is incredible, and she does a great job motivating, supporting, accommodating, and of course training. I love the variety of workouts and that there is no pressure to, as Dawn always says, "be a hero". I can see and feel the progress from these classes. If you're looking for a personal trainer or for classes, MSA should be your choice!“
“Apogee has provided a wonderful, customized workout experience for me over the last 2 years. John has helped me avoid what I was told would be “inevitable” surgery on my foot, and I haven’t felt this strong in years!“
“Terry is great. I haven't exercised in awhile and she helped me start at a level that I was comfortable with especially with my medical issues. I also feel I am making progress at a level that is safe for me. I am so happy I made the call.“
“Beautiful gym to be working out in! Well managed and immaculate. Not crowded and social distancing enforced in the cardio zone. Cleaning supplies available for members.“
“Performance in Hamden is the best place a person can go for physical therapy. The patient care is astounding; I have been to many PT places and none of them even come close to comparing. The staff is amazing, from the receptionists to the aids to the therapists themselves. They have made such an impact in my recovery to the point where my surgeon was surprised. They are extremely knowledgable and intentional with their exercises. They know when to push and when to slow you down. Unlike many of the PT places I have been to in the past, Performance never made me feel stranded or unattended. They listened to my needs and goals and created a plan to get me there. Additionally, they were attentive to pain, making sure I was in as minimal as possible and was never pushing myself to hard. Renee and Matt have been the best physical therapists. They really have made an extremely significant difference in my recovery. The establishment itself is very clean, and there is always parking. If you are looking for a PT place, just go here, you will be happy that you did.“
“Charlie was amazing and gave an awesome tour. I am a proud new member now. Thank you Charlie!!“
“Lots of therapists to choose from. I usually take a while to warm up when i start at a new place but the doctors were all very nice. I'd been to 3 different pt doctors and one for occupational therapy. All were very thorough. My one qualm with the PT is that they spend soooo much time on the laptop DURING the session. I almost wonder how they can assess me when they're looking at desktop more than me. My OT therapist was very hands on and attentive however. We spent one session with him literally holding my hands the entire time! It was actually comforting..i have RA and my hands suffer. The compression and warmth helps. Nonetheless, it was a decent place for what I was going for. I was just looking to learn some stretches and tips to combat my condition. Im just used to more personable therapy. When I need therapy for an actual injury, I think I'd probably go to my other place. Buy again they were good for what I was needing at this time.“
“Great place and they know what they're doing! If you really want a personalized program and to see real results, ask them how today!“
