Ryan at Tailored Strength is an incredible trainer. His approach is thoughtful, professional, and truly tailored to individual needs. I came in focused on recovery and gaining strength, and Ryan created a program that pushed me safely while respecting my body and recovery process. All of the trainers Drew, Nick, and Joe are truly exceptional—knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in your progress. Workouts are challenging but thoughtfully tailored, and there’s constant encouragement to push safely beyond your limits.

After a long hiatus from lifting weights, I began doing the group training sessions at tailored strength 9 months ago and it has been a great experience. In the past, I have always found strength training repetitive and I hit a plateau quickly. Here the routines change monthly and ramp up as the month goes on. Their strategy has made me stronger than I have ever been. I have also noticed that I have less difficulty with other physical activities I do since I started. Nik, Joe, and Drew are all very kind. They give me great guidance and encouragement. The people I work out with in the group classes are nice as well, making it an enjoyable environment. I was also provided a nutrition guide which was very helpful. I think this combined with the classes has helped me lose 20 lbs since I started. I have always found strength training a chore in the past but I genuinely look forward to going to tailored strength.

Tailored Strength is amazing! I’ve been doing the semi-private sessions for about a year and a half, and I honestly love it here. All of the trainers are great — I genuinely couldn’t pick a favorite. They’re super encouraging and always make sure I’m using good form so I don’t get hurt. They also give us an easy way to track our workouts, which has helped me get stronger and actually notice a difference in how I feel. The atmosphere is fun, supportive, and just really positive. I’m not someone who usually enjoys working out, but I always feel great walking out of here.

I am so grateful my cousin convinced me to start going to Tailored Strength. After I had a sacral stress fracture while training for a marathon and was diagnosed with low bone density I knew I needed to take my strength training seriously. I was so nervous about lifting heavy weights, especially the barbell, but the trainers were very considerate and coached me through it. They also offered alternatives to certain lifts if I wasn't comfortable without making it feel shameful which is truly a skill! Since I've been coming to Tailored Strength for over a year and a half I have not only improved drastically in my overall strength but also my running performance. I have gotten faster and my confidence has definitely improved. I even saw an increase in my recent bone density scan which my doctor was impressed by! Coming to this gym has really changed my life for the better, and even though I don't live in the neighborhood it's worth the commute for the programming and coaching they provide in the semi-private classes. I'm very grateful to have found this gym and a community with it.

When I first came to Nikholas at Tailored Strength, I was suffering with a lingering knee injury from pickleball that six weeks of physical therapy couldn’t fully fix. Not only did he help me regain strength and mobility beyond what I achieved in PT, but he also prepared me to conquer my first Hustle Stair Climb—I was not fully mentally ready but the strength and endurance that I've gained ensured that I accomplished a goal I previously thought I couldn't! My brain fog has lifted, my energy is soaring and I continue to hit new milestones in strength and flexibility every week. What sets Nikholas apart is his dedication and genuine care. He doesn’t just coach during sessions—he checks in post-workout to make sure I optimize recovery and keeps me accountable to nutrition and protein goals. As a former athlete himself, I appreciate how he uses his real world experience to tailor every session to how my body feels, making progress feel achievable no matter how I'm feeling when it starts and even when he’s pushing me way harder than I’d ever push myself. But the magic doesn’t stop with Nikholas. Tailored Strength’s boutique gym culture is a game-changer. The trainers—Nikholas, Ryan, Joe, and Drew—rotate leading semi-private classes, and their collective expertise creates an environment where every athlete is seen, coached, and motivated. They prioritize proper form and weight selection to ensure that whether we're newbies to strength training or seasoned athletes, we're challenged while crushing our goals safely. This isn’t just a gym—it’s a community that celebrates progress and champions injury-free training. If you want a trainer (and a gym family) that truly invests in your success, look no further. Nikholas and Tailored Strength have leveled up fitness for me—10/10, would recommend!
