The owner and trainer, Tamar, is highly knowledgeable, experienced, and truly passionate about helping her clients reach their fitness goals. She also makes working out so much fun and enjoyable.Her encouragement makes me look forward to my next personal training session.I signed up for a one-session-per-week package for a month. I love that she provides different options to fit every budget.If you're looking for a supportive, safe space, and effective place to work out , this is definitely the place.Thank you :)

I could not be happier with my decision to sign up for personal training with Tamar. She cares about the people she trains... and I love when she encourages me during workouts by calling me "Athlete"! It makes me feel strong! I signed up for her 2x/week personal training and it's affordable and I'm loving finally doing personalized workouts with a trainer.Signing up for personal training, I knew that for my own mental health after two years of a pandemic, I didn't want to start stepping on a scale, or tracking calories, or measuring body fat. I didn't want to look at any numbers. I just wanted to move again... and ENJOY moving again. Tamar was all for it and she has totally supported me in what I need from our personal training sessions. (By the way, I totally understand that some people will want to talk about food and step on a scale, so keep in mind that Tamar is flexible in how she trains her clients.)Overall, it feels good to sweat, and move, and have fun while doing it! She always has good music playing, she makes me feel comfortable when I just need to be goofy at the gym and have a good time, and she agrees to my constant requests for dance breaks in the middle of our tough circuits! (She also lets me bring in my little dog to hang out while I'm working out... dog-friendly gym, for the win!!!)Thank you, Tamar & Workout Spot, for getting me moving again and getting me excited to go to the gym!!!

I could not be happier with my decision to sign up for personal training with Tamar. I actually found the studio because I live in the neighborhood and was walking by it every day during the pandemic, and eventually convinced myself to start moving my body again and going for actual workouts. I needed someone holding me accountable, since at-home workouts were just not cutting it. The first time I met Tamar, I immediately felt the good vibes from her. She cares about the people she trains... and I love when she encourages me during workouts by calling me "Athlete"! It makes me feel strong! Coming out of the isolating portion of the pandemic, I had been following (and still follow) anti-diet culture posts on social media. I knew I didn't want to start stepping on a scale, or tracking calories, or measuring body fat. I didn't want to look at any numbers. I just wanted to move again... and ENJOY moving again. Tamar was all for it and she has totally supported me in what I need from our personal training sessions. (By the way, I totally understand that some people will want to talk about food and step on a scale, so keep in mind that Tamar is flexible in how she trains her clients.) Overall, it feels good to sweat, and move, and have fun while doing it! She always has good music playing, she makes me feel comfortable when I just need to be goofy at the gym and have a good time, and she agrees to my constant requests for dance breaks in the middle of our tough circuits!

This a a small personal training studio with a very spirited and fun personal trainer, Tamar. It has all the equipment you need for private 1:1 sessions customized to your goals. Tamar offers monthly plans, or typical session packages. I do the monthly plan with 2 sessions per week for a reasonable price. Scheduling is flexible and I look forward to my sessions every week. I came to Tamar with terrible back pain Andy had put on a lot of weight due to an injury. My first goal was to feel confident in my body, feel strong, and get healthy. It has not been easy and some days I get frustrated with myself, but I feel more like me than I have in a long time. She's also been helping me with my eating to make more reasonable decisions for a sustainable eating plan I can actually do. I told her at the start that all of the fad diets is done over the years have given me a toxic relationship with food and she actually listened. The music is good, the attitude is good, and you'll sweat, but you'll never feel bad about yourself, or where you are today. You will get stronger and healthier- ask you have to do is show up!

Tamar is part of MY team. She makes this transition from couch potatoe for 2 years to moving again fun and I look forward to every session. Her monthly package rates are affordable and I’m finding it very easy to commit to 6 weeks in. She really customizes my plan to where I’m at every day and what I enjoy doing.

10/10, amazing! Tamar is the best. She made me feel heard & supported while also challenging me. I went in feeling disconnected from my body and after 2 months working 1:1 with her, I feel substantially more confident and capable. Tamar is open minded, playful, grounded and compassionate. I'm excited to work with her again in the future! :)

Tamar is the best! I've been a client since The Workout Spot opened and can't say enough food things. Some trainers call it in, Tamar Brings It week after week. There's a variety of exercises, a great selection of eclectic music and fun conversation. A bunch of times I'd tell her some muscle feels a bit wonky and Tamar would work around it or with it. A great compliment to physiotherapy.
