I LOVE this gym! We are new to the area, and have been attending this gym since August. Honestly, they have best work outs! I have been a member of several gyms, including multiple CrossFit boxes and yoga studios. I have participated in classes and on my own free weights. I feel like Patrick (XPF creator) has created a regiment that is challenging, but doesn't intend to cause injury or harm. He helps you to meet your full potential, and if you have injuries or sore areas, he helps to target those areas in stretching, foam rolling, and movement changes. I almost feel like I have a trainer and a physical therapist at the same time. All the trainers there are kind, helpful, and highly encouraging, and I have enjoyed every class.
There are many options for people who are 100% new to working out and those that have a lot of experience. Classes such as Conditioning, which is a Prime workout, uses a lot of body weight and one arm/leg movements to strengthen your core and keep your body even. Metabolic Burn (Ignite) has a more circuit training aspect with intermittent cardio. Those who attend are regulars, and come as often as we do. I love it and honestly cannot get enough. XPF has a ton of different class times, as well as Yoga and Dance2Fitness classes. All classes have a group limit, and it is usually small. There are also options for Small Group classes, which is an even smaller class size where often the trainer can spend more time with you. I believe he even has 1 on 1 options as well. Honestly, if you are on the fence about this gym, trial it for a month (I think it's still $59 for the first month) and you will be hooked. I wish his program can follow me around...
Read moreThis is hands down the best option in Fells Point! I'd even say the best in Baltimore, its worth the drive! I've worked with other trainers before and Patrick is the best. He's super knowledgeable! He's got a real sound understanding of how everything works and is connected.
I was having trouble with my shoulder. He was spot on when he recommended getting further diagnosis. The MRI I had done with the specialist physician showed I had torn both shoulders.
Patrick even helped me recover through the post surgery period. I feel most trainers aren't knowledgeable enough for post surgery exercise.
The exercises Patrick recommended is exactly what my team of Physical Therapists started me on. Patrick made sure I had overall good fitness while my therapists focused on my left shoulder. The work Patrick had me do on my right shoulder helped so much the surgeon noted I didn't need a second surgery!
Highly recommend working...
Read moreI have done personal training with Patrick (owner) since August 2021. I started here coming off a long recovery period from surgery and Patrick worked with me to provide a training regimen that would ease me back into training. After that time period ended we started to focus on my training goals. I have always had limitations when training and consequently avoided them but Patrick has consistently evolved our training plan to accommodate my limitations without sacrificing results.
XPF is a great studio and offers high value for any fitness level and goals. Patrick trains holistically so don’t expect to get away with avoiding mobility and stretching but it is absolutely worth it and will help safely and effectively reach your goals!!
Patrick is also just a great person to train with he is very kind and spends a lot of time making sure you are getting the best experience. I cannot...
