What customers said about personal training
LivFit Fitness Personal Training …Wichard is amazing at what he does and very knowledgeable in the world of fitness. Whether you’re an experienced athlete or a complete beginner (like myself), I would 100% recommend personal training here! Everything is tailored specifically to you and what you want to achieve, plus they can connect you to other…
LivFit Fitness Personal Training …I signed up for 3-1hour sessions (wish I had started earlier during my visit) . They were great and he worked well within my physical limitations. Would highly recommend for any physical level.
LivFit Fitness Personal Training …LivFit is great! The staff is dedicated and knowledgeable. In the five months I've been going to help with my back pain I've seen a tremendous decrease in that pain among other benefits. Great place to get fit, stay fit, and LivFit 💪🏻
LivFit Fitness Personal Training …Widchard is the man! He's been training folks for a long time and knows his stuff. Been a little over 2 months for my latest health kick and the results come pretty quick if you take your diet seriously too. You will be pushed hard, but that's what you're paying for! Lots of compound movements & stretches…
LivFit Fitness Personal Training …I’ve been working with Richard for a little while now and couldn’t be more pleased. He’s knowledgeable, encouraging, and supportive without being “extra”. I love this gym because the people here are REAL. It’s not filled with people solely focused on posting to/for social media but about community, health and wellbeing. Worth every penny!
