Trained with Caleb and Lance for 5 months and learned how to do barbell lifts! I'm no longer scared of those weights at the gym. If you're looking to get started BUF is definitely a great place. Lifting weights is so much fun.

I’ve never really been a gym person until now and I’m kinda crushing it if I do say so myself. A big reason is the vibe. Everyone’s super supportive and the atmosphere isn’t intimidating at all. The trainers actually care about your health and how you’re feeling that day, not just pushing you through a workout. And there’s never that awkward forced small talk, everything just feels natural. Everyone from Ben, the owner, to every trainer genuinely checks in and makes sure you’re taken care of. It honestly feels like you’re just hanging out with friends who just so happen to make you lift weights. 🏋️ I’d highly recommend BUF if you’re looking for a trainer or just want some social interaction while improving your health. Come try it out and you’ll probably end up staying.

If you're looking for a gym that actually gets you, BUF is it. Ben and the entire staff have built something really special here. It's not just a place to work out, it's a community. You can feel the intentionality behind everything from the moment you walk in. The trainers are exceptional, passionate, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your progress. They push you just hard enough that you leave feeling accomplished rather than destroyed (most days, anyway 😄). And they remember your name, your goals, your bad weeks. That kind of personal attention is rare anywhere, let alone in this city. Ben has clearly set the tone from the top. The culture here is warm, fun, and no-ego. Everyone from the staff to the other members just wants to see you win. It's the kind of place that makes you actually want to show up, which if you know me, is no small feat. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You'll thank yourself, and Ben, later. 💪⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I can’t say enough good things about BUF. From day one, the experience felt thoughtful, private, and genuinely personal. There’s no ego in the room, no intimidation, no performative fitness culture. Just focused, smart training in a space that feels calm and intentional. The trainers really listen. They pay attention to what matters to you, where you want to improve, and where you need to be pushed. They strike that rare balance between challenging you and respecting your limits. Every session feels customized. Nothing feels generic or rushed. It’s boutique without being pretentious. Private without being isolating. Professional without being cold. You feel seen, supported, and steadily stronger in ways that go beyond the physical. If you’re looking for personal training that feels tailored, discreet, and worth every penny, BUF is the place. Highly recommend.

Ben does an incredible job running the gym and creating a great environment to train in. He really cares about helping people get fitter and healthier, and is always willing to help whether it’s with nutrition advice or making sure you’re doing the right exercises for your goals. The trainers are also excellent and bring a lot of energy to every session. They’re knowledgeable, motivating, and make sure you get a really strong workout in every time. Overall it’s been a great experience training here and working with Ben and the team. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to achieve their fitness goals.
