I love TFGU. Reggie is the most encouraging coach I’ve ever met and worked with. I’ve gotten so much stronger and fit in a few short months. The whole atmosphere is one of support and encouragement. The new coaches are just as great to work with. Brandon had created an incredible environment that makes anyone feel confident no matter their athletic ability.

Gabe is super attentive and fun to be around. He pushed me the exact right amount for what I needed and I left feeling so much better than when I walked in!

Today was my first time training with a professional coach, and I’m really glad I got to work with Coach Reggie. I learned so much about proper form and technique, which I’ve never really focused on before. We started with a good warm-up and plenty of stretching before getting into the workout ….something I’ve honestly never done in past workouts. I really appreciated that my first day was nice and lenient; I wasn’t pushed too hard, and it gave me the confidence to ease into the training. Coach Reggie was kind, encouraging, and consistently checked on me to make sure I was doing okay and felt comfortable the entire time. Overall, it was a great first experience and I’m looking forward to continuing my training!

Reg is a pimp! Always has the greatest attitude and mindset. Very attentive and knowledgeable on “proper” form. Cannot talk more highly about him.

Reggie is ALWAYS an amazing coach. He knows how to modify our strength training to accommodate for various issues. He is most knowledgeable in how to rehab the body after surgery. He is a great motivator!

Training today was led by Gabe. He gives clear instructions and is quick to give encouraging feedback. I noticed that he was able to keep an eye on each person and give individual instructions which is important since most of us need some modifications! Well done Gabe!

Best gym, best coaches! I've learned the value of having a coach and I will never not prioritize that. The small group setting adds another level of energy, motivation, and accountability to an already amazing experience. I wish I'd found TFGU sooner!

Reggie’s got an eagle eye and an amazing ability to get the correct modification every time. Amazing. Explains things clearly and is positive and motivating. He’s all over the gym, helping every one. He challenges me and has made me a better student of weightlifting while making me stronger and more confident. A great asset, great human being and a great part of our TFGU community.
