One might ask why so many people believe ACE Fitness is the best gym in the North Country. For some, it's the equipment . . . in my time at ACE, Ryan has invested tens of thousands of dollars in new equipment (love the recently added Rogue belt squat!). For others, it's the workouts . . . Ryan has a knack of designing regimens that are challenging, inspiring and safe, with variations that always keep things fresh and interesting. (And as an āolder guyā, I canāt imagine itās always easy for him . . . Iāve got some creaks and cracks but Ryan constantly checks with me verbally and physically to ensure movements or load donāt bother my problem areas. In 5+ years of heavy lifting, Iāve never experienced an injury.) But for me, I'd say it's the people. Ryan is a fantastic full-time personal trainer, part-time therapist, motivational speaker, supportive workout partner and as happens very quickly after getting to know him, a great friend.

ACE Fitness is more than just a building full of weights and machines; Ryan has built (and deservedly so) an...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreTypical gym and training except despite my direct communication that I may have to quit if an old shoulder injury was aggravated by this training and subsequently did had to stop lifting due to pain, I was at first denied a refund for a whole month in which I paid but didnāt receive any training simply because I missed the deadline for the automatic payment withdrawal. I didnāt ask for a refund for the half of the previous month that I wasnāt able to lift. I had a note from the ortho doctor and the physical therapist to stop immediately. The authorization form for automatic withdrawals states āIn the event that you need to cancel, please provide a 30 day notice.ā No where does it say youāre not entitled to a refund for undelivered services. Had I planned on quitting, I would have given notice, but the workouts caused immediate and potential damage. No empathy from the trainer. Just sorry, the withdrawal was made, youāre out of luck and, by the way, donāt come back. After I called the NH Dept of Justice Consumer Protection Bureau and they said I did have a basis for a claim as well as for small claims court case, I told the owner who then immediately...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreIf you are looking for a gym that will change your life for the better, look no further than ACE Fitness Center! When you walk into this gym, you are immediately welcomed and you become part of a close-knit family! Since I have been training here (and, by the way, I've been training with Ryan Largay for almost 12 years - I have followed him to 4 locations and would never consider going anywhere else!), I've gained mental and physical strength, confidence that never existed for me before, and the realization that I am capable of so much more than I ever thought possible. I am in better mental and physical shape at 56 years old than I have ever been in my life! I have made lifelong friends here and it is so much more than a gym to me. Ryan has trained me (basically a nobody!) to be a National and World Class Athlete and his professionalism, knowledge, patience, and personality are unsurpassed. Ryan and Kellie Largay are an awesome team and they have built an amazing gym for their community. If you aren't training here, you're missing out! What are you...
