Healthplex Fitness — Attraction in Town of Halfmoon

I love this place, and everyone who works there.

I heard about Healthplex through a wedding showcase in Saratoga, and asked them to send me more info on personal trainings so I could get in shape for my wedding. I was totally skeptical going in, because I haven't had good experiences with personal trainers in the past. However, within 5 minutes I was totally sold on Healthplex. I'm really happy with my decision to join.

This is the definition of my perfect gym - and I really don't like gyms. This place is big enough that you can always have the equipment you want to use available. It's never too crowded. The locker rooms are clean and well-kept, and actually smell rather nice, instead of like sweat or stinky feet. The equipment is clean and maintained nicely. They have a lot of equipment and space to work out in, and even a jungle gym thing that looks like it could be part of American Ninja Warrior. To top it off, everyone who works there gets to know your name in just a few days. I'm greeted by name by Amelia every time I walk in. It just makes the place feel very welcoming.

Mike did my initial evaluation. He was extremely easy to work with, and extremely knowledgeable. He was able to notice even the slightest movement on my part, even right down to me balancing my bodyweight on the wrong part of my foot, even if I could swear it wasn't obvious. He pays amazing attention to detail when he's working with a client. Nothings gets past him.

I signed up for one-on-one trainings twice a week with Rob. He is equally fantastic. He is a ton of fun to work with, and is really great about encouraging me and keeping me positive. He is also very good about letting me work at a pace/level that I am comfortable with. He makes sure I'm challenged without over-exerting myself. I am really thrilled to be working with him. He is also giving me the best exercises for me, and I have some health issues that make it hard for me to stay in shape. Since starting my trainings a month ago, I've noticed the difference in my strength and how I feel. That said, it does require work outside of trainings, because twice a week isn't enough exercise for anybody, but I really wouldn't be where I am without the people at Healthplex helping me along.

I have also been to several of their group classes. Even though it's a group environment, I feel like I'm getting almost the same amount of personal attention and instruction as I would in my one-on-one sessions. If you're not one for personal trainings, at least try the classes. They rock.

If you're looking for a gym, go...

LOVE! LOVE ! LOVE ! The gym, the staff, the trainers....it is awesome! Perfect if you are done with the cooperate gyms!!!!!

Now that I have your attention - let me add details. This fitness center is it for me. I used to be in amazing shape but after 5 years of letting it all go ( Covid, knee surgery etc ) i needed an overhaul and more importantly, I needed a space that I felt comfortable in and with people that wanted to help.

My first interaction walking through the door...I was met right away by Jason G. Awesome guy! He had a big, welcoming smile and right away took time to sit with us. He discussed my history of heath and talked about goals. We toured the facility. I met a couple trainers and we came up with a plan for training and starting out.

The facility is very well equipped ( including a sauna in each locker room !). It was clean, modern and has tons of equipment, machines, free weights. They offer tons of versatility in their equipment, racks, TRX etc.......

The trainer I was matched with, Matt G is fantastic!!! He called me before my first visit and we again discussed history, current health status and goals. He was very flexible with his time, which is great because I am very busy, LOL. He packs a lot into each session. He comes to every session with a plan and is able to move efficiently through each session - ensuring I get a full workout.

I have has double knee replacement and an old healed back injury.....he works with all of that. I feel a difference already and feel I made a perfect choice. I look forward to going each time.

Jason G checked in with me after starting to make sure I was happy and see if I needed anything. He is there every time I go - always a big smile, very accommodating. Everyone remembers my name even after the first visit......very personable.

If you are tired of the impersonal, stale, corporate gym and you are looking for a health facility with a staff that cares - this is your place !!!!

Check...

I do not normally leave reviews but if I can help anyone else's who is looking for what other workout facilities just call the " judgement free zone " this is your place.

I am 45 yr old cancer patient who has been overweight my whole life, even cancer didn't change that . Knowing it is time to look at getting healthy, I looked over every local fitness place in the area when it came time to start getting into a routine of working out. Many places were willing to take my money but no place offered me the personal attention and genuine concern for my wellbeing as well as reaching my goals then Health Plex .

From the moment I walked in I was greeted with a smile. I spoke to Mike who took time to speak to me as a person and not just another member. I was asked to fill out a detailed assessment of my expectations and everyone I wrote down was discussed and addressed. I was quickly set up with Jon who assessed everything from my balance to posture (I never knew I was so out of shape). Jon did not bat an eye and assured me it could all be corrected. Now a few short weeks in I am standing straighter I am less dizzy and feel stronger then ever.

I just happen to have started this due to a medical condition but the facility offers a wide range of equipment for people of all skill levels I have never felt embarrassed or less then. Truly everyone is kind and willing to help. Trainers are always on the floor and each one of them brings a unique and energetic feel to the atmosphere.

It is like being part of a large family here. Shortly after joining when my father in law passed and I actually received an email from the staff with condolences.

I only wish I joined...
