Mike is hands down the best I've ever trained with. His workouts are SUPER efficient: so much gets done in each workout! Some trainers I have used in the past seemed like salesmen, and set me up with exercises that were either ineffective or actually caused injury. Mike is the complete opposite. Not only does he customize workouts to meet individual goals, he is amazingly knowledgeable about the human body and can work with any kind of limitation, injury, condition, etc. He's also got the highest level of training and certification in his field (CSCS) - very few trainers are so well educated. I feel so lucky to have found him!! Thank you Mike!!!

My son is Sophmore in high school, he plays soccer, he has been training at Olympia for 12 weeks. There is a noticeable gain in strength and speed. Thus has also led to a noticeable gain in his confidence and more aggressive play on the field. I highly recommend Olympia to anyone.

I signed up for the six-week challenge offered by Olympia Fitness and Performance. To share some context, I had been living an incredibly sedentary lifestyle during the last three years and was nervous about being able to keep up with the group classes.Pros: 1) The facility is in a great location, clean, and has excellent equipment. 2) The management team and staff are incredibly welcoming, and knowledgeable, and take their time educating new members. I have never exercised with this level of intensity and support. 3) The members are welcoming! I was five minutes late to class on my second day. A person I had only met the day before cheered when I walked in. Everyone goes above and beyond to welcome you, and it feels great to feel included. Some workout environments can be clicky, which makes the experience even more intimidating, but that has not been my experience. 5) English is my second language. The trainers are accommodating and do a great job describing equipment and exercises. I find it incredibly helpful because I had not exercised formally in this way and many of the terms used are new to me.Cons: None.Highly recommend!

I’ve belonged to a couple of gyms in my life and never one quite like this. Olympia Fitness/Performance goes at the speed and performance you/your body can handle. They pay attention to your needs! I highly recommend any one of the trainers (Katie, Mike, Pat (coined: Brad Pitt) Brandon and Steve. Although the workout(s) are the same, each trainer brings their knowledge as how not to hurt yourself and their personality to help you get through the workout in their own way…making it a sweaty and safe hour. The facility is very clean and open. The staff are friendly without any attitude. All levels of athletic ability train there and me, well, I’m starting over at 60 yrs old. Thank you Olympia Fitness/ Performance for getting me through and beyond pretty much all my physical ailments.Best, Carol Mainelli.

One of the BEST gyms and staff out there! I was referred to Olympia by a friend who had raved about their knowledge and ability to help individuals pass the PPA (firefighter agility test). In a short time working with the trainers/coaches, I was able to reach my goals in passing the PPA, and learned crucial cues and techniques for my fitness journey moving forward. The environment is welcoming and they even tell dad-jokes! Who doesn’t love a good dad-joke?

I visit Beyond PT within the fitness center. My experience up to now has been outstanding. I am receiving excellent care. I sought them out because of their philosophy shared on their website. I feel the Dr.'s care deeply for the persons they treat. My care plan continues and it is empowering taking control of my health with professionals that are like minded. There are additional services within Olympia that appeal to me. One step at a time though.

Olympia Fitness and Performance is by far the best facility around. From the ownership, to management, the facility and equipment, and the trainers who are the nicest, most professional, and MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE in the state.Two months ago I was looking for a gym that could help my 10 year old daughter that plays club soccer train over the summer and help her take her training to the next level. A friend told me about Olympia and the minute I stepped in the door I knew it was the right place. My daughter trains twice a week and cannot wait for her sessions. She has grown so much in a short period of time, we’ve loved seeing her confidence grow and the trust she has in the trainers who have been sosupportive and encouraging. After two weeks of watching my daughter train and seeing how incredible the trainers were I decided to sign up for the 6 week challenge myself. As someone that spent the last 16+ years in many of the fitness facilities and gyms in RI it was clear Olympia was something different and really special. From the classes to the nutrition guidance and the support from the owner and all of the trainers there is no fitness facility that compares with the quality you get when you join this community.The workouts are incredibly fun and can be scaled/tailored to each persons fitness level. The members are inspiring, the personal trainers are consistently giving hands on feedback and adjustments for each person during the workouts and constantly encouraging us. The members and the atmosphere are amazing, always clean, and incredibly welcoming. The workouts in the classes are always different and you will see results without question. It’s a life changing gym experience filled with passionate people that make up a community that wants to see each other succeed.

Excellent people Great facility Successful results I found Olympia on Yelp and decided to give them a call about what they offered and how I could get involved. At the time, fitness coach Pat Sturdahl was who picked up the phone, and about six solid months later, Pat's still my coach. Their services touch on a variety of needs. They partner with Restore RI physical therapy (same building), so they can do corrective/rehabilitative work. They help people concentrate on specific regimens for individual sports. They can tailor workouts for any individual goal you have. They have several classes for different fitness levels. They even offer a firefighter exam course. I've seen people from teens to their 60s working out on their own programs. The facility offers a little bit of everything, from free weights to tension bands, and kettle bells to Assault AirBikes, all in a utilitarian facility - there's a little something for virtually anything you'd want to train. Bonus points that the music always seems to fit whatever's going on. Everyone I've met at Olympia has been friendly, but special shout-out to Pat, who is both laid-back and a highly capable teacher of form and function - he's been exceptional to work with. Olympia is is nestled back on Worthington Street, but well worth seeking out - highly recommended.

Olympia is amazing! The trainers are incredibly well educated and knowledgeable. Mike L helped me put together a personalized workout plan to get my postpartum baby body back into shape. I live that they really took the time to get to know me and help me feel supported in my fitness journey. The gym is huge and has everything I need yo add awesome weight and resistance training to my cardio program. Thank you Mike and Olympia!

I’ve been going to Restore Physical Therapy in the same facility for a year now and finally decided to commit to a year long strength training program with Olympia. Can’t be more impressed. The staff are knowledgeable and experienced and quickly built a program that is customized to my specific needs. Since starting two weeks ago I’ve been challenged by the workouts and have noticed immediate improvement in my running form and other pursuits as well. Looking forward to the whole 6 months I committed to!

Olympia is the best. They have a top class staff whose experience and knowledge will bring the best out of you. The gym is always clean and the atmosphere in there really motivates you. I am currently in the middle of the TPI program (golf) and I couldn’t be happier with the guidance and customized programs I am getting. If you’re an athlete trying to get better than your competition or someone who simply wants to live a healthier life check out Olympia fitness and performance…it’s a no brainer!
