Uplift was a great experience. If you are looking to build a routine of working out then this is a fantastic option. Classes are small so you have more time to ask questions and a very friendly bunch.

Uplift is awesome! Post-COVID, I was in a rut and my gym membership had lapsed. I would sometimes work out but lacked motivation and consistency. Nancy set up a personalized workout program and provided guidance and support on the nutrition side as well. It's been about five months. Strength training sessions 3x/week and a more reasonable diet have brought really great results: lower weight, reduced body fat, and added muscle. More importantly, I feel better, sleep better, and have less stress.I actually look forward to the workouts. They are customized and constantly challenge you without being overwhelming. All of your reps are tracked and you can see (and feel) the progress over time. It's incredibly motivating. There is a maximum of five people per training session, and Nancy and/or Glen are always there to make sure you're hitting the correct form. Plus, there is an app that makes scheduling very convenient (for those times when you travel or need to switch sessions). The community is great -- people of all different stages in their fitness routines in a very supportive, positive atmosphere. Cannot recommend Uplift highly enough!

I can wholeheartedly recommend Uplift for people of all levels of fitness and experience. Whether you are interested in staying fit, getting fit, getting healthy, really whatever that involves fitness and nutrition, Nancy and team will work for you and with you to make it happen.For context about me, I have been gym-phobic my entire life. I could never really get into exercise because I got bored with the routine and lacked the discipline. I've had gym membership multiple times but always lost interest and ended up wasting a lot of money.I wasn't happy with my level of fitness pre-COVID, but things got much worse during COVID for obvious reasons. My wife and I discussed this multiple times and we agreed that we should give personal training a shot. She found Nancy and arranged a meeting - I was skeptical but decided to go anyway. When we walked in, we told Nancy that we were not ready to commit which surprised her because she said the consultation we were about to have was only for people who were ready to commit. My wife was ready to commit but I was not. Nancy graciously let us continue the consultation without my commitment, and I begrudgingly ended up committing later because my wife and I had decided to do this together.Best. Decision. I. Have. Ever. Made.For the first two to three weeks, it was hard and I was not totally bought in but kept coming. As I got to know Nancy and learn more about her program, I realized that she truly cared about me as a person as well as my success in meeting my goals. She built a personalized program around me, had the most patience that I have ever been afforded in a gym, and offered nutrition tips while providing an easy to follow/commit to program for nutrition. The fitness program changes often which ensures I never get bored, and it's clear that the program is personalized because everyone in the gym is almost always doing something different even though we are working out at the exact same stations. When I've occasionally had to cancel multiple sessions in a row, Nancy would reach out to check in on everything and make sure I was ok, offering as much support as she could, whether it was emotional, physical, whatever.Since then, I have been a regular and I have honestly not felt this good physically in a long time. Uplift is truly a family, and Nancy makes sure that people who train together (up to 5 together at a time MAX but often less than that) know each other's names, encourages people to share information about themselves, etc. She will even tailor playlists to people's individual tastes, which she remembers for each of her members.I honestly can't say enough good things about my experience at Uplift. Nancy and team, thank you for everything you have done to help me be more healthy and more confident in the gym! For everyone else, if you are on the fence about joining, jump over it, you won't regret it!PS - Glenn is also awesome! While him and Nancy have totally different styles, they share the care, positivity, and family spirit that makes Uplift what it is. If you can, try to schedule time with both of them, you'll thank me for it!

I've struggled to get into a workout routine for years as I've never felt engaged, challenged or comfortable in a gym prior to Uplift. Glen and Nancy are true partners in my fitness journey and I genuinely look forward to my classes. I've surpassed all my goals so far and eager to see how far we can go. Can't encourage you check them out enough!

I am so thankful for Nancy and Glen at this gym for so many reasons. As someone with recent injuries, the gym’s reception of tweaking exercises to go at my pace has been the most important part of my healing journey. I’ve been to other trainers who shamed and blamed my lack of progress, whereas here I have never felt stronger and more capable in my life. I’ve also neverrrr been a physically active person and this community and their unique method of personalizing exercises for individual client goals has helped me accomplish things that even I’m impressed with! Their kindness and encouragement goes a long way :)

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Uplift, especially Nancy and Glen! As someone who was relatively new to weightlifting just three months ago, I feel like I have learned so much, both in terms of fitness and nutrition. I’ve definitely seen physical changes in my body, but more importantly, I’ve also had such great mental gains, which to me was the biggest win from joining the Uplift community. Glen was an amazing trainer and had such a positive vibe in each class. Even on the days that I didn’t feel like working out, I always left my session feeling so glad I did it and so proud of myself. Knowing I can now deadlift and bench press and squat—things that seemed almost impossible just months ago—makes me feel so incredibly happy and motivated to keep pursuing my fitness goals. As someone who is still in eating disorder recovery, Uplift helped me find my passion for the gym with exercises that best suited me and where I am at in my life. I cannot recommend them enough!

Cannot recommend highly enough! Uplift helped me accomplish my longstanding body composition goals. Nancy is a rare gem. She is not only knowledgeable in various training modalities and nutrition , she’s absolutely lovely as a coach and a person. She creates a welcoming, encouraging atmosphere for people at all stages of their athletic journey. Going there was always a great workout and also fun!

Uplift has greatly exceeded my expectations! I started with the sole objective of getting fit and increasing strength, but I have gained way more. Both my approach to exercise and relationship with food have positively changed for the long term. Amazed at what my body can do, and with the help of Nancy, Gary and the staff, I have built body and mental resilience. I have never been a person who exercises, but that has now changed. I am happy, active, and I eat, sleep and cope better with stress thanks to Nancy, the team, and the supportive community they foster.

I discovered Uplift a little over a year ago. Within the first 6 weeks, I was already down a size. I focused on the workouts and was sensible about my food. I never felt deprived or stressed. I have always been active and, like many people, as I got older, things got soft. I tried many things - a personal trainer, BeachBody programs, my own workouts - and each time they worked but were not sustainable. Either the personal training was way too intense so I got burned out or in the case of Beachbody, it's a defined program for a set period of time that you do alone in your house and then when it's finished it's up to you to figure out what to do next to maintain the progress. Not so with Nancy and Uplift. First, the programs are designed for your INDIVIDUAL goals and fitness level. And, she emphasizes working hard but not insanely to the point of burnout. The workout is challenging but I walk out feeling energized, not drained. And, when you stick with it the little changes happen quickly - you walk faster, you can all of sudden consider a 5k with your friends, you can play with your kids or nephews without feeling like you're going to die! The list goes on...

Uplift changed my life! I started to train with Nancy as a way to restore my health, increase strength, and manage stress. After xix months of training with Nancy and Gary at this evolved and body positive gym, I feel terrific and have lost a lot of weight. Training at Uplift has been the best investment in my health I’ve ever made, and has taken me to a completely new level of health, strength and wellness. For me, all physical activities are easier now - running, yoga, swimming - and so are life activities, like work and travel. What I love the most is that Nancy’s personalized program provides rapid improvement and results but at a manageable and safe level. She also provides a sense of community without being invasive. This is the ultimate safe space and low key gym that really helps people reach their goals. Strongly recommend if you want to try weightlifting for the first time.
