The Gym by Brandon RaSean

Once an ad on Instagram, I would repeatedly scroll by, has now become a key part of my weekly routine. Trainers Brandon and Christina are truly masters of their craft and make their clients feel both seen and heard. Their respective training styles engage and encourage us all as a community. As a member of large commercialized gyms in the city, TheGym Philly, has a warm, inviting feel with big energy that extends far beyond its brick walls on Melon street. So grateful to be apart of this community of gym-goers. There are many days where I wish I joined sooner!

I started working training with Brandon initially due to back pain that I was trying to alleviate. I'm four months in and have not had one instance of back pain. We've focused on full body movement and strengthening the back muscles and that's made a difference. Working out consistently with Brandon has improved my strength, mental health and overall has alleviated the previous back pain. Definitely recommend this gym.

This isn’t just a gym. It’s therapy!! I’ve been training with Brandon [and sometimes Chritina :)] for over two years now, and I can honestly say he’s changed my life. He’s way more than just a personal trainer. Yes, the workouts are great and I feel better than I ever have, but what really sets him apart is how much he genuinely cares. He’s someone I can talk to about everyday problems, life decisions, stress, etc. He offers real advice, real perspective, and always has your best interest in mind. The relationship goes far beyond the gym. He even made the best man speech at my wedding! That should tell you everything about the kind of person he is and the connections he builds with his clients. Physically, I’ve never felt stronger or healthier. Mentally, I’m in a much better place too, and a lot of that comes from the consistency, support, and encouragement he brings every single session!

I have been training consistently with Christina for a little over a year now, and I have never felt stronger and more confident in my body - and others notice it too! As a working mom of two young kids, it can be difficult to find time to workout, but I appreciate Christina's support and how she continues to challenge me. After every session, I leave feeling better than when I came in. The energy at The Gym Philly is positive while also building a sense of accountability and community - Kudos to their amazing team!

I have trained with Brandon for four years now and have not aged a day . On the contrary, I feel I got younger.

I’ve been training at the gym with Christina since May 2025. I had never worked with a trainer before, and the atmosphere at the gym is excellent and super friendly. I feel comfortable training at The Gym, and I’ve seen improvements in my health. She’s knowledgeable and always keeps me motivated. I highly recommend it.
