Premier Fitness Studio

I've being going to Premier almost since it opened. My trainer is amazing, fun, supportive, and encouraging. Regardless of your style or personal preference, there is a trainer or a small group fitness class that will fit your perfectly. Enlisting the help of a trainer train was just what I needed to meet my fitness goals; and even set them higher. Pros: Personalized training without the big gym feel or pressure more

Here I am 55 years old and Boxing thats right BOXING. I wanted to"" JAZZ"" up my exercise routine with something new. I thought of boxing but at the time, being 54 years old I figured no way, I'm overweight,old,and getting quite sedintary in this cold tundra. Then in the January mail came a brochure on you got it ""Boxing,"". I Called talked to Nathan, was introduced to Racahel my personal trainer, and here it is a year later .I feel great ,move a lot better ,and I am having a lot of FUN doing it. I Take Boxing classes,Yoga, and personal fitness training with Rachael. I have had membership at many different health clubs over the years and they all have had there good points ,But here at Premier Fitness ,Nathan has found the type of health club that has more things I like than all the other clubs combined. Personal training with a trainer who is interested in my goals and wants me to succeed.Many times when I have a training session it is only myself and Rachael at the club. The classes are perfect for me as well, because there are only 4 students per class max, when I am not in good form I get feedback. .I like the new Body Age Assessment Program. My real age is 55 my Body Age Assessment was 50 ,if I continue with my workouts ,Yoga and Boxing I can reach a body age of 40 Sounds Great does'nt it. The Club is Small,and has every thing I need for a great workout .I feel very welcomed at the club, I am encoraged to use my strengths and my abilities,I have great fun exercising even when the beads of sweat pour down my face ,and Rachael says thats what I like to see,Great Job.!!!\r more

Training was personal and tailored to my desires. I am 37 years old and was looking to get back in shape and shed some fat. After 3 months I have been extremely pleased with my results. I have lost 20 lbs of scale weight while drastically increasing both my strength and cardio.\r They also have great massages! more

This is the first time I've ever written a review and I'm glad to do it for Premier! I recently stumbled across their website while searching for a kickboxing class. Although they don't offer kickboxing, they do offer boxing, which intrigued me. They had a few daytime options which are really hard to find if you don't belong to a club. I started taking a weekly, pay-as-you-go boxing class a little over a month ago and I LOVE it!. Starting in May, they're having their clients commit to a 5 week, pre-paid session. I think it's a reasonable amount of time to commit to. I've found that 8 weeks is much harder to commit to if you have to pre-pay. I've worked out with various personal trainers in St. Paul for about 3 years and I cannot get over what an amazing workout boxing can be! Since the class size is under 4 people, the instructors can really focus on each person individually. It's not nearly as awkward as you'd think! I've trained with both Nathan and Rachael. They're both gifted instructors who know how to motivate you as you train. The facility is immaculate, the staff is professional and the pricing is fair. Every message I've left has been promptly returned. You can schedule and cancel online and you receive email reminders for upcoming classes and receipts for payments. Here's the kicker, I have to drive 25 minutes each way to get to Premier! It's worth every mile! Pros: Immaculate, professional, small classes more

Premier Fitness is the BEST place in the world. All of the trainers are experienced and have your best interests at heart. I have been training with Nate for 3 years and my strength, physical fitness and health have never been better. I also take a yoga class with Rachel. The small group format (4 people) is just fantastic as you receive personalized instruction. To top it all off is the massage therapists at Premier. I have never had as terrific massages as I have from Steph and Nicole. The Body/Age assessment is awesome. My first assessment in January aged me at 41 and my calendar age is 49. Following Nate's strengthenng and cardio instructions and Rachel's stretching routine by April my assessment aged my body at 38 while my calendar age was now 50! You will find the folks at Premier care about you and your well being. I'd recommend them to anyone. Pros: Welcoming atmosphere, friendly, clean and FUN Cons: NONE!! more

This is my first time writing a review. It takes a lot to impress me to take the time recommend a service. Premier Fitness has earned five stars. \r \r I joined Premier Fitness in January as a gift from my wife to help me train in the cold weather months and now I will be staying year round. \r \r I have been blown away with the exceptional service of my personal trainer. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, encouraging, & motivating. She has shown amazing dedication to build an individual plan for my personal needs and goals and changing them as necessary. At one point in time I was a collegiate athlete and thought I knew a lot about training, but wow have I learned a ton and seen significant improvements. \r \r I really enjoy the semi-private facilities. Often its is just myself and trainer during training sessions or at the most one or two other people with their personal trainers. Premier Fitnes Studio has great equipment and you never have to wait for it to open up. \r \r If you are looking for a personal trainer this staff can give you amazing personal service designed for you.\r \r Oh yeah, did I mention they have massages (both relaxing and therapy / deep tissue)? The massage therapist has signficantly helped repair some personal injury issues, improved my flexibility, and significantly enhanced my ability to train. No serious training should be done without taking a timeout here to help the body recover. \r \r They have also set up a good website service. It allows you to schedule appointments on-line, make changes, purchase packages, etc. For those on the go, having 24 hour access to schedule your personal trainer is a great convenience. \r more

Being a first time user of personal training, I was hesitant, and had researched and visited many other personal training centers. Premier won me over immediately with personal, motivating and friendly attention. Nathan explained everything in detail, did not rush me through the sales pitch and walked me around the place so I knew how to do this personal training thing. He was very interested in my goals of health and well-being and articulated them better than I could.\r So now I've been going twice a week for a few months and I just took my aging parents to Florida. I carried all the bags, pushed all the wheelchairs, had the energy to really take care of them -- and I didn't hurt myself! I could never have done this without their personal attention. This is not about being a size 2 - although my butt does look better - this is about feeling strong and healthy! and I do.\r My Own Personal Trainer, Renee, is especially fantastic! She motivates me, encourages me and actually makes me want to be stronger and better - so I can take my parents to Boston in the fall.\r And Nathan still greets me by name when I walk in the door - even when he's busy training another customer. I can do this!!\r Premier is the best. I almost don't want to tell anyone about it - It's My Place now. Pros: easy parking, clean facilities, great staff Cons: can't think of any more

This is a great place to work out and get results! The facility is spotless and superbly equipped. The trainers are well-qualified, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I've been working with Nathan Hartwig for almost a year, and I look forward to every session. He changes my workout routine every few weeks, so I never get bored. He pushes me to get results, but he knows what I can handle. Nathan tailors workouts for a wide range of clients, from pro athletes to old guys like me (I'm 63). Since starting with Premier Fitness I've lost more than 20 pounds, improved my health profile and gotten stronger. I'm in better shape than I've been in in a long time and continue to improve. Working with a personal trainer at Premier Fitness is one of the best things I've ever done for myself. If you're serious about getting healthy, I highly recommend that you give Premier Fitness a try. more
