Form — Local services in Boston

Over the last few years, I have had a constant foot injury and I wanted to learn how to train myself around the injury without creating pain or making it worse. I always seemed to irritate the area time after time which was so discouraging because I love being active. This year, I met Peretz who is a personal trainer at Form in Boston. He is teaching me how to strengthen the areas around my injury and how to work around the problems in my body. I have made improvements and workout without pain or swelling in my foot! He definitely furthered my recovery and strengthened the areas of discomfort. Peretz is not your run of the mill trainer and creates unique training programs customized for each of his clients. He has a strong desire to help people work through their injuries so they can feel better when they are working out. He is enthusiastic, motivating, and knowledgeable about all things fitness. Peretz is completely in tune with my goals and he is very creative in progressing sessions, making them fun and challenging at the same time. Another plus, he can carry on a thoughtful conversation and count at...

Having trained at Form for over 5 years now, I can honestly say that Peretz has changed my life. After years of letting things go, I found Peretz to be the answer to my fear of gyms and aversion to exercise. His open-minded attitude made it easy to talk through my goals so that he could develop an exercise regimen that suits me. His comfortable and (super)clean space is very flexible and adaptable, allowing him to set up for any type of exercise. Peretz brings his A-game to every session and, if you’re lucky, you’ll get some banter that makes a 45-minute session fly by. Peretz manages to mix it up so that sessions always seem fresh. By staying on top of his profession, Peretz often pleasantly surprises me with something new. Peretz does his very best to work with my schedule and can often adapt when life happens. My body has never looked back, and my mind feels the benefits as well. I highly recommend...

I trained with Peretz and could not be more pleased with the experience. He is nonjudgmental and makes all of the complicated information regarding body mechanics, functional movements, and body awareness/ coordination more accessible. He took the time to provide education regarding the way my body works and how to make the most of movements; this is what sets him apart from other trainers I’ve worked with in the past. He listened to my goals and gave me helpful strategies for addressing some of the long term neck pain/ tension headaches I’ve been experiencing. I feel much more confident doing workouts on my own now— a primary goal. I would highly recommend Peretz for anyone who feels frustrated by limitations of traditional workout clases, is intimated by all of the equipment at the gym, or...
