My boyfriend introduced me to Polo’s gym this last spring. Training equipment has always been somewhat of an intimidation and learning curve for me. After only 2 visits to Polo’s gym, one of the personal trainers there, Rio, offered me a consultation. Since my consultation with Rio I’ve finally found some rhythm and a plan that works for me and my fitness goals. Now when I go in for my own sessions, Rio is always there to motivate and support me through my fitness journey. He helps me unlock the ‘magic’ of each machine when I have doubts and even reminds me which muscles, or parts of my body, to engage allowing me to experience a really productive session. Rio will even write up a training guide for me to follow for the day! For me, finding confidence in the gym has always been the hardest part. Understanding how to use the machines and equipment can be daunting. At Polo’s, I truly feel supported by everyone there, respected in my performance, more knowledgeable of my body and of the equipment, confident and structured, and so strong! A big shout out to Rio who’s drastically improving my health and thank you to everyone else at Polo’s! It’s really a gym made of some truly decent people.
