Amazing staff. Great results. Convenient and time saving. I have enjoyed my membership with the Exercise coach. I would encourage those who join to understand your contact. I thought a 30 day notice to be just that like renting an apartment or home. I discovered that is not how the contract works. My cancellation has resulted in paying for 2 more months. Just understand what you are signing.

Kim thank you! All we need is 20mins. We look forward to helping you achieve your fitness goals.

Really like my experience here. Joe is a great coach and very personable guy. It's worth mentioning this is more of an adaptive style gym to help people who otherwise wouldn't be going to the gym, not for people who are already avid gym goers. But, I am in that exact demographic so it is helpful for me. I was skeptical of the claims that 20 min twice a week would be enough to see results, but after a few months I am a good bit more physically capable than I was before. Having an appointment is nice because it makes you have to show up and exercise, when you wouldn't otherwise choose to do so of your own volition. Overall I'd recommend it if you haven't been able to stick with regular gyms, I actually look forward to going to the gym now.

5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve been a regular at The Exercise Coach in Middletown, Kentucky, and overall, it’s been a fantastic experience. The facility is always spotless, the equipment is intuitive and top-tier, and the technology keeps me challenged every time I walk in. Today, I had the opportunity to work with Joseph for the first time—and I have to say, he truly went above and beyond. For example, during the ab press, he took the time to lift and lower the abs attachment for me, something I’ve typically had to do myself with other coaches. It’s a small gesture, but it made a big impact on my experience. His attention to detail and support was impressive and definitely worth calling out. The only downside for me is the multi-function machine that offers around 40 different exercises. Unfortunately, we’re only allowed to do one movement per visit, which feels like a missed opportunity—especially when each takes just a couple of minutes. I’d be more than willing to extend my session by 10 minutes to get more value from that equipment. Still, I highly recommend The Exercise Coach for anyone looking for a clean, effective, and high-tech workout with great coaches like Joseph who go the extra mile.

I have been going to the Exercise Coach for about 6 months twice a week. I am 70 years old and I have definitely improved muscle, strength and fitness. The studio is clean and the staff is friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging. Also, scheduling is easy and flexible.
