Custom Fitness Concepts

I absolutely love Custom Fitness Concepts. I think it meets you where you are, it pushes you to do your best, and the workouts are different each day which keeps it interesting. The time the class is offered works well for my life, I have a family and work full time and don't really have the time to go to the gym for hours. The class I take is up the street from my house and the instructor Yousef is awesome! Love, love, love the class. more

I have been working out for many, many years, and I finally started seeing results as soon as I joined up with Custom Fitness Concepts. My trainer has brought me to a whole new level. I've learned a lot about my body, and building muscle. What works best for me is total exhaustion, and they provide an intense workout that delivers. Since beginning with Custom Fitness, I'm burning calories, my energy has increased, and I'm looking good. I also really enjoy the instructor. They come to my work, which is really convenient. When I first started, I could barely handle one workout a week, but now I'm trying to go from two days to three. The sessions are only eight or ten people, so I receive individual attention. It's the best experience I've had in years of working out. The training you receive from Custom Fitness is intense, so it's not for faint of heart. If you're overweight, you should possibly consider somewhere else. But if you're already working out and aren't seeing the results you would like, they will take you to the next level. I saw their advertisements at work, and took a few of the sample classes they offer as a promotion. It was good bait, and I took it hook, line and sinker. I really look forward to my workouts, because I can see results that compensate my efforts. They offer great concepts that really live up to their name. Paul Z. - National Gallery of Art more

I have been taking classes from Custom Fitness Concepts for about six years. I've taken several of their instructors and gone to different locations. Every instructor I've ever worked with, has been great and worked with me on my own to customize my exercise workout to fit my needs which were losing weight and trimming down my thighs. I've done both! I've lost weight and no longer have thunder thighs! I look and feel great! Tom Kalka has always been wonderful, he's who I started with! I highly recommend them to anybody! more

I first started going to Custom Fitness Concepts about two in a half years ago because of the location, they were close to my job. I think that the variety and flexibility of the classes make it great for various fitness levels. It's up to you if you want to increase your levels and challenge yourself more. more

I first got involved with Custom Fitness Concepts through work, and over the last three years, I've continued to take classes on a regular basis. I either take a class every single day of the week or three days during a week, whatever I'm feeling. Part of what I like is that you develop a group of people you see regularly, and those people grow to care about you and keep you honest about your working out. The instructors are directional and really try to ensure that you're doing things the right way, and that you are keeping up. If you're not, they'll make modifications for you so you can keep working out. The instructors are all great, I've gone to many of them over the years and have nothing bad to say about anyone. They aren't harsh and don't get in your face, however they are totally motivational. My entire experience has been extremely positive! I highly recommend them to anybody! more

Custom Fitness Concepts is awesome! This is the best program I've ever been a part of. I know Tom really well, and he is always receptive to his clients. You're even allowed and encouraged to email the trainers for advice, diet help outside of the classes, and/or if you have an injury and how you should treat it or workout around it. All of the trainers make themselves available to their clients, it's just up to you to utilize that offer. I feel like the value of the program is amazing. My cholesterol and blood pressure have gone down, and so far I've lost forty-five pounds, so the way I look at it is that I'm saving in future medical costs. Anything I pay is well worth every penny! Right now, I'm signed up for the six month program for $99, and that's been great for me, and it's coming up soon so I'm planning on re-upping my membership. This might be a little more expensive than a gym membership, but I've done that before too and I had no idea what to do in a gym, by myself, to get the results I was after. Custom Fitness trainers work with you in their boot camps. "Boot camp" has such a negative connotation to it, brings to mind a drill sergeant yelling in your face, but Custom Fitness is not like that at all! Even though these are really tough workouts, the trainers are right there in the trenches with you all the way. And the classes are so small, it allows the trainers to provide personalized attention to each of their members. Can't find a better program out there! Milan Hemrajani more

I first found Custom Fitness Concepts through Groupon. I started going because I was a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding in April and wanted to be in good shape for that special event. I've tried out different locations they offer, and have tried out the different instructors too. They have all been consistently great across the board! Not one is better than the other. I liked it so much, I was hooked and have kept going. I wanted to tone up for my own wedding planned for August. I've worked out before, in gyms, but I've never experienced anything like this. It's like having my own personal trainer, and I really like having someone there to push me and to ask where I was if I miss a class. They offer different styles of workouts too. I mainly focus on strength training and toning up, especially in my arms. I am very happy with the results I've seen. I feel like I am in the best shape of my life! I think Custom Fitness Concepts is great for anybody looking to get into shape or to tone up. Especially for those with special events coming up, this will really help to keep you motivated. And now, because of my success, even a couple of my bridesmaids are taking classes as well as my fiance! more

I have been going to Custom Fitness Concepts for about five months and I love it! It has just been very easy, easy to join and easy to find a location. My instructor, Tom, has been very motivational and made this a really good experience. Before, I was just going to the gym and I can't stand going to the gym! It's boring. Tom keeps the class new and different. I look forward to going to class and go about four to five times a week! I've been very consistent in going. more

I started going to a boot camp class at Custom Fitness Concepts about two months ago. I started because of a friend of mine. I handpicked the class because of the instructor, Tom. I really like the instructor and think the group experience is great. The workouts are extremely challenging. The class is awesome! I highly recommend it to anybody! Bruce Enger more

Custom Fitness Concepts really works if you stick with it! I just think that the group format helps you to get and stay motivated. Plus, they mix it up and it doesn't get boring. It's just a matter of getting there, but it really works! You don't have to be a marathon runner either, they'll work with you and mix it up for each person. Like they know I hate running, so they let me walk at a fast pace. Their trainers genuinely care about fitness! R. Mckay more

I have been working out with Custom Fitness Concepts on and off for about three to four years. I've taken a few other boot camps before and I feel that Custom Fitness is far superior! They offer the best workout, and the best trainers in town! Even thought you're in a group, you feel like you're given individual attention. I also appreciate that I can call the owner, Tom, anytime if I have any questions or concerns. This is a really great experience! more

I've been doing the Custom Fitness Concept's boot camp for about two years or so. It's definitely done a good job of getting me in shape. It's nice that it's consistent, and available every morning. The workout itself is variable, so it keeps you interested. more

I was very happy with Custom Fitness Concepts. I first joined the boot camp because I wanted to improve my overall health. I have never taken part in a boot camp style class before, and I didn't really know what to expect, but it has been an incredible experience for me. In just a matter of 4 or 5 months I have seen dramatic results specifically tied to my strength and energy. I can do a lot more than I could when I first started when it comes to things like planks and sit-ups and other exercises. I have seen an increase in how I can perform these exercises, and in running as well. At first, we had laps to run, and I may not have been able to complete the laps, and now I'm doing better at that. Boot camp also just gets me going in the morning. I absolutely love going! Yes, my alarm goes off at 5:30 in the morning, but it definitely provides me with a jump start. I would definitely encourage anyone who is looking for something to consider boot camp. It's definitely a good value. Custom Fitness Concepts offers various levels of membership, and they can include it in your total work out routine. Also, it's nice that the instructors and trainers do something different every day. It leaves your muscles confused, which is obviously a good thing when your trying to improve your overall fitness. I don't have any expectation of what's happening that day, but it's always pretty high intensity. They really tailor the workout to all levels of fitness though. For people who are training for a marathon or who just have really good health, or people who are just getting started, the instructors are all friendly and nice. They try to tailor the exercises to you, and if you need a modification or have stress in an area that you are weaker in they are sensitive to it. I definitely promote Custom Fitness Concepts. They are a part of my conversations with friends. I'm definitely a fan! more

I recently mentioned my progress to Tom and he asked me to share it. I found this boot camp through Groupon in August 2010. It is the toughest, best workout I've ever done. I've had a PR in virtually every race I've run since starting the boot camp. How's that for results?! I'm hooked. Before, I had maybe 1 or 2 PR's a year. Now I seem to improve with every run. I credit boot camp! The trainers are great at pushing you harder than you think you can go, and modifying exercises when you need it. It's highly recommended for all fitness levels. And every workout is different so you never get bored and your body has to keep adapting. more

Pretty much, you go to an empty parking lot and some person kicks your behind then sends you on your way. It's great! I thought Custom Fitness Concepts would be an easy class, turns out it's a serious boot camp that means business! I started seeing results after my first two sessions, it was amazing! I urge everyone to do this, you'll see results so fast! It's worth the cost and the pain! more

I love Custom Fitness Concepts! I'm in my 7th month, and I could never think about quitting. I just like the atmosphere. I like that it's not the same thing day in and day out. I really have become addicted to it, not just the exercise, but my trainer as well. I'm a runner, and the whole being in a group thing makes it just that much better. Mindy Lipman more

I started at Custom Fitness Concepts in August or September of last year, and have been going twice a week ever since. I love it! My instructor is fantastic! Custom Fitness offers really great workouts that are different each time I go. I know I'm doing something right because I'm sore every time I leave. I'm using muscles I don't or wouldn't use on a normal basis. This has been a great investment, honestly well worth the money! more

Custom Fitness Concepts is worth every penny. I joined about a month ago, and it was exactly what I wanted. It is an outdoor program that really is energetic, fits my time, and I've just totally enjoyed it. I love being outside, and I love exercising, and when you combine the two with a great instructor, it's easy to get up and get out there! It's also right down the street from where I live, which makes it even easier! more

I go to the site where Randy is the trainer, and he is amazing. If you are having an issue that day he is conscious of it but still pushes you, and pushes hard. He has been doing this for over 10 years, and he is really good and motivating. I went to a personal trainer before this. Chantalle, who handles the billing, is really good as well. There has been some confusion with the new credit card company, so if there is anything they need to specifically improve it would be that. Right now I am actually registered in their system 3 times. The value has been really good. After tomorrow it will be a year that I have been going. It really works if you keep going. They are tough, but that is what we pay them to be. If you want to be coddled go somewhere else. It is up to you to tell the trainer if you have issues, because sometimes there are a lot of people. In the middle of the summer there probably are too many people at the site I use. more

Custom Fitness Concepts has been great. I found them from an online coupon from Groupon. It was an unlimited month for $40 off. I was getting bored with my current gym and with being inside. They were also changing the schedule of the classes, so I decided to try the coupon. It turns out that I really like their program. It works better for my schedule, and no two workouts are the same. Everyday is different, so it fits the need of what I was looking for. I have been doing it for almost 3 months now. If someone is looking for a change of pace and a challenge, this will definitely give you both. It really is worth every penny. more
