I was looking to re-start my fitness journey and came across Citizens Athletic Club through word of mouth. I am 65+ and had a 5 year gap since Xfit. Injuries were creeping in and setting me back from starting over at Xfit, or enjoying pickleball, and doing everyday tasks; yet, I knew I had to start somewhere. CAC was the right choice for me. The personal training experience with Sarah has been a home run! I am receiving a tailor-made program that fit my abilities and needs and at my pace for improvement. I am grateful that my friend told me about CAC!

I have been working out at this gym for over 6 months now, and it has been unlike any other gym experience I have ever had, and I have had a lot. At Citizen's, you are treated as the unique person you are, and all your workouts are specifically tailored towards your goals. The workouts are always fresh and never boring. The classes are amazing. They are purposely kept small, so everyone gets the help they deserve. The best part is that it is easy to be consistent, all the coaches are awesome, they provide support and go at your pace, focusing on you. Plus, they preach what they teach and have a huge knowledge of fitness. I recommend checking this place out, especially if you want to get in shape and be consistent.

My wife and I have been members of this gym for 7 months now and I feel that it's exactly what we needed to get back into shape. We started out with personal training to help us get the right fitness level for classes. The prices are reasonable considering the personal attention we received and the ability to track our improvement over time. One of the main reasons we chose this gym over others was the atmosphere. Sarah, Shaka, and Val are extremely supportive. We didn't want to go to a high intensity crossfit gym where we are constantly yelled at. We're encouraged and supported to reach our fitness goals. TL;DR - If you want a personalized fitness experience with fun, chill coaches, then this is the place for you.

I have been training at citizen athletic club for one year now and it has been beyond my expectations. My 1:1 coach is Sarah and she truly took the time to learn about my body and my goals. This is not your typical toxic gym place where they push and push everyone to their limit, they encourage you and assist you to be YOUR best. Ever since I started here, no joke, everyone was always raving about how they love this gym and how different it is from all the other gyms they’ve been to and I get it now, the coaches are always there to support you making sure you’re doing everything correctly and giving you feedback. While there are group classes everyone has variations of the workout to accommodate where they are in their fitness journey. I have never had coaches who truly know your body and care for your individual goals. This gym’s focus is on your functional well being and mobility. I’ve done stretches/exercises that I’ve never done before to improve my posture and strength and I have never seen tremendous achievements. So if you want to change the way you see fitness this is the place for you. P.S. This is the cleanest gym ever!

Citizen Athletics delivers a most excellent personalized fitness program. In working through an injury and recovering from a surgery, I found myself challenged with adopting a fitness routine that was right for me. I tried some less personalized gyms but I would take one step forward and two steps back as I didn’t understand how to work through my recovery and strength building without setbacks. Sarah has been doing my programming and has been incredibly in tune with where I’m at from my initial assessment and throughout my progress over the last year. While Citizen’s classes have multiple members in attendance, programming is always focused on each individual athlete’s needs, a refreshing and most welcome approach. I was ready to schedule another surgery for one of my injuries when I started and have overcome much of the daily pain and immobility I was suffering, avoiding the need for the procedure. Shaka, Val and Sarah have been instrumental in delivering the personalized fitness program I needed, I’m incredibly grateful to have found them!
