My son attended his first workout session today and shared that it was challenging in all the right ways: exactly what he expected. We’re excited to see his progress and are looking forward to what’s ahead. We have high expectations and feel confident this program will push him to the next level.
It’s been great working with Rebecca for several weeks. The program changes as I progress and it is always challenging. Becs is an excellent teacher, drawing upon her knowledge as an athlete to meet me where I am, emphasizing patience and doing the movements correctly. She’s also established a nice motivational niche at DT with her EDM playlists!
Appreciate working in group classes. Appreciate even breaking down to smaller groups 2 or 3 sums
First day back after being out for a year. Session was well structured in helping recondition various muscle groups. Looking forward to finishing my first week strong.
Although I’m older and not an athlete like many of the members at Dilligence Training, the attention and support I receive are every bit as focused and encouraging. The coaches regularly take the time to watch my movements closely during each exercise, stepping in to correct my form when needed and patiently explaining why certain adjustments help prevent injury and improve effectiveness. Whether it’s modifying the range of motion on a squat or adjusting my grip on a weight, they make sure I understand the purpose behind every change. They personalize each workout to fit my pace and abilities, carefully balancing intensity so every session challenges me just enough without feeling overwhelming or unsafe. The community here has been supportive and encouraging from day one, and those fellow members have quickly become friends who celebrate each other’s progress and share tips. My gains have been impressive - I’m stronger, more confident, and feeling better than ever. I’ve developed muscles I hadn’t realized I could build, and my stamina has increased to the point where I surprise myself during longer cardio intervals. Each session leaves me feeling energized and proud, knowing I’ve pushed myself in a thoughtful way. Dilligence Training truly meets you where you are and helps you reach your goals, no matter your age or fitness level. It creates an environment where progress feels possible every day, and every workout leaves you looking forward to the next.
His class was fun and he was very supportive.
Excellent morning work
Coach brought the energy this am !!!
Very disappointing experience! For myself and my child. Communication with staff was off. I felt targeted, isolated, and shamed. I gave nothing but positive energy and was met with the opposite and when I brought up the issue it was ignored. I was then subliminally targeted online by a staff member and it was ignored. Then was told myself and my child was not welcomed at the gym. When I asked for the exact reason why. It could not be told to me. Being a single women of color with limited resources I was very disappointed especially when I came to this community for what was portrayed to be an open loving community.
Yayo is great! He always has so much energy. I really appreciate that he always checks in on the things that I am doing outside of Diligence and shares his own personal progress. He is able to joke around but also pushes me to do things that are challenging even when I complain. I also loved chatting about data and am excited to send over my heart rate data to Devontè to talk more about that.
As always… setting the tone with good vibes, music locks us in, encouraging us along the way! It’s a WIN for us with Yayo!
Yayo is the best!
The training has been excellent. I'm really enjoying the new circuit training. Rebecca and Terrell are fantastic trainers; they keep me motivated and encourage me to reach the next level while keeping the sessions fun. Plus, the 5:30 morning training crew is great; we support each other throughout our workouts.
Learning that functionality and proper form in movement is for longevity. Appreciate the positive attitude, check ins and support received during tough moments throughout the workout.
Class was great! Coach was patient and very knowledgeable with instructions…I was very impressed with the professionalism and gym…I will be returning!
He did good good energy I’ll be back next week
Terrell and the team are outstanding. Couldn’t have asked for a better team of trainers and a better community. They are engaging, encouraging and they listen extremely well to my needs while pushing me out of my comfort zone. If you are looking for a gym, Diligence is it!
Great! Very motivating & encouraging! It was nice to be back!
Carly was amazing. It was my first day and she encouraged and pushed me at the same time. She even got an extra 15 seconds of plank out of me ( for me that’s a lot).
Energetic, encouraging and I especially appreciated his willingness to accommodate the limitations on my shoulder. Great class!
The program that I’m doing is incredible! I had back surgery 6 months ago, I contribute my successful recovery to the program and the coaches at the gym. The attention to detail and concern for not only my recovery but also my continued development and strengthening has been outstanding!
Coach is funny and encouraging, exactly what helps me to be motivated.
Terrell is always upbeat and I enjoy the 5:30 am sessions with him. His level of engagement and enthusiasm is great. He knows what music to play to get everyone's energy levels up.
Everyone at DT is amazing. It truly is a community of support. It’s even better sharing wins because I wouldn’t have been able to stay consistent if it wasn’t for them pushing me to be better.
He did very good today being the only one coaching the whole group
Great training experience overall. Every team member was knowledgeable, patient, and motivated our group the entire time. It was my first time visiting your facility and it won't be my last.
Great class! My first 12:30 class. Definitely going to run it back
It was great working out with terrell i was very motivated and he pushed me to my limits
Sophia is very motivating and always pushes me to my very last breath 😩 but I absolutely love it.. when I leave her class i leave it all on the turf a lil more than normal 💪🏽💪🏽
Raymond did great!!... He kept them going and continued to let them know they got it... motivation 😊
Great energy
If it wasn't for Terrell, I wouldn't have the confidence to even walk into a gym. He creates a welcoming environment while making sure I am physically challenged. Even when I say, I don't think I can do it. The exercises I did today weren't easy but I did it. He is EXCELLENT at what he does
Always there to push me and not let me give up on myself!
I’ve been going to the 5:30 AM group gym class for a few weeks now, and it’s become one of the best parts of my day! Terrell is always full of energy, no matter how early it is, and somehow manages to get all of us motivated and moving right from the start. On top of that, he gets us laughing, which makes those early mornings so much more enjoyable. His enthusiasm is contagious, and it really helps set a positive tone for the rest of the day. It’s an amazing way to wake up, get your body going, and start the morning strong.
It was great you were a big part of my motivation. Always a great experience at DT !!
Great!! Was my first time with yayo as the head trainer. Everything went well from the energy, to good modifications, and great music. You he seems like he has a lot of experience.
Very engaging and worked us hard!
The energy was on 1,000.
Yayo is always a vibe... Fun class!
The coach was inviting and informative. He was motivational as well as had excellent energy. I definitely felt welcomed.
Had an amazing experience at this gym! Everyone was super welcoming and the energy in the space was great—it really motivated me to push through my workout. Yayo did an excellent job explaining the exercises, making sure I had the right form and understood the movements. I got in a solid workout and felt great afterward. I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I’m in the area!
Terrell has this amazing ability to reel you in and make you feel like you just entered a party. We walk in yawning ant 5:30 and we leave sweating and laughing!
The coach did an amazing job today
Great. Provided a modification workout to accommodate my knee issue. Appreciated the correction with various workouts to help my form.
Sophia is great! Love working out with her.
Loved Carly - it’s been a while since I worked out in a group setting. Carly took the time to explain the workout and helped us with our form. She made me feel comfortable.
Yayo was great. He’s friendly, knowledgeable and alert. I like that he corrects my form as needed and asks me how was it to make sure I’m challenging my self. Great session today! I look forward to my PT workouts.
My trainer was Kelsey today. It was my first time training with Kelsey and I thought she was very kind. She made sure to walk around to check up on everyone individually to see if there’s any workouts we needed help with specifically. She took the time to modify anything if needed and/or fix my technique to help maximize the experience.
Todays coach (Yayo) was very knowledgeable, motivating and helpful! He made the group workout fun and pushed us to complete the sets amidst the pain because we can hard things
Excellent. Energetic. Encouraging. Engaging. Set the tone for the day. Not only did he tell us, he showed us— in a world where actions are not only louder, but long lived. Grateful for the due diligence.
Very good! Thorough and attentive. Good workout.
Great energy! The workout was structured well and challenged us. Looking forward to another workout led by Yayo!
Yayo does a great job and brings a lot of energy to the class.
Littt workout vibe! From working hard to dancing it out the door ❤️🔥
He was great always push you and motivate great young man
Class was good. I enjoy the format change for the workouts
Today’s lower body session (12:30p) was a good one, as always. A great coach who holds you accountable while challenging you to achieve your daily wellness goals.
Coach did great he brought the energy this morning. And the Tic Tac Toe at the end was really fun. Nice switch up on a hard leg day.
Carly was awesome as always! Making sure i was comfortable during my lifts and giving me feedback on how i was doing.
Amazing! As always, everyone is so supportive and willing to meet me where I’m at. This community is more than just lifting weight, it’s a village. A family. It’s so much more than us and DT reminds us of that every day. Appreciate this team more than words could explain!
Terrell did an exceptional job at breaking down the details for each exercise
Coach was efficient and motivating during class. She makes sure our form is correct and that we are doing each move correctly. 💪
