Trainers near Bryn Mawr

“For several years before turning 71 this May, I considered going to a trainer to improve my strength and fitness. But hearing of bad experiences from friends and acquaintances made me hesitate. Common complaints were trainers who lacked knowledge of exercise physiology, did not explain why certain exercises were performed, did not customize workouts, or consider the goals and initial fitness status of the client.Based on the enthusiastic recommendation of my son, I took advantage of a free session and evaluation at Vertex Fitness in April of 2023. I was deeply impressed with Dwayne Wimmer’s thoroughness in evaluating my needs and outlining a workout regimen to address them. After four months of three 30-minute sessions a week, my strength and endurance are greatly improved.Dwayne’s workouts are highly efficient. He leads you through exercises with a focus on proper form to achieve the greatest benefit and avoid injury. Dwayne emphasizes that the purpose of the workouts is not to achieve the same result for everyone, but rather the best result in the context of each client’s individual potential. For those seeking one-on-one, focused, efficient strength training, I strongly recommend Dwayne Wimmer and Vertex fitness.“

“F45 Bryn Mawr has changed my life! I could go on and on. I love that there are dedicated heavy weight training days. I love the space, the studio and the vibe (super inclusive-people from all walks of life and all body types!) I love that it’s only 45 minutes. The trainers (Susan, Nas, Ryan) make sure I am keeping good form. It’s not just working out, it’s part of my lifestyle and it brings me community. High five. Fist bump.“

“I have been to three places for therapy in the last five years. To backtrack, I ‘ve suffered several strokes during the years and possibly have unspecified neurological condition. All three eventually told me that they could not help me. When I came Total Performance, Dr. Vasey truthfully told that she could improve my condition albeit it would not lead to perfection. She exceeded my expectations. I used a cane for years due to muscular weakness. She very patiently kneaded problem muscle groupings have resulted in a very marked difference, my cane collection has far lesser use. Kudos to Dr Caitlin!!“

I benefit from the accountability of having a personal trainer rather than being in a larger group. James keeps me engaged by varying the exercises and weights to challenge me and keep my health journey moving forward.I've also relied on James for stretching when necessary and have enjoyed using his infrared sauna.When I'm having back or knee issues, James and his trainers are quick to modify the exercises to make the most of each session.“
