GYMGUYZ Long Island — Local services in Town of Oyster Bay

My husband started me with Gym Guyz October 2023 for my birthday because I had been lifting weights for a while and I was concerned about my form . This is a true review of the type of company Gym Guyz is and the quality of the trainers in their company. This is a long story - please read 😊

So that’s when my relationship with Annmarie Solomita , my trainer began . I started training with Annmarie twice a week. I felt so special - wow , I’m working with a personal trainer . But , it became so much more than that . Annmarie listens to what your goals are , and teaches you how to reach those goals - and is in it with you , all the way . In 6 weeks I learned so much about form and my ability to push myself and self correct based on her correcting me. Then , thanksgiving weekend , I had an accident in my kitchen. I broke 2 bones in my right leg and fractured my left shoulder . I needed surgery and couldn’t walk for 6 weeks . Annmarie came to visit me , called me . It was so much more than trainer - client . Then I started PT - for 8 weeks 3x a week - I had to learn to basically walk again - properly. My gait was off - I was limping . I lost strength in my surgical leg and my arm that I fractured . So , this took me from the end of November 2023 - to March 2024. I started with Gym Guyz again April 2024 - you see I had just purchased another set of workouts . Not only did they hold my sessions - Neil reached out to me as well , to see how I was doing .

So Annmarie and I had a lot of work to do . I had to start again very slowly , not lifting as heavy - my balance was all off , as was my gait . Annmarie made me programs that worked my balance - my walking - and needless to say, I did exercise that I said I would never do again because I was afraid - I trusted her! She was by my side every step of the way my balance is so much better and we still work on it . Also , your programs are tailor made to you . You can add whatever you want - discuss in detail with your trainer everything. Annmarie is also beyond knowledgeable and teaches me so much about the muscles and my Body .

I am so proud to say in 4 months not only is my strength at an all time high , my endurance and all things exercise is soaring .

I have expanded my workouts so much - basically - my trust is in my amazing trainer and I’ll do whatever she suggests to keep me moving forward - So to make a long story short - GYM GUYZ is an amazing company with amazing people !!!

I'm never motivated to work out on my own. I need the convenience and persistence of a trainer showing up at my door. I also need a good motivator who can keep me feeling engaged through a session. I've worked with three other trainers in the past, all from different places. Each was great in his own right, though several life changes through the years caused me to bounce from one to the next. Now I'm in need of help again.

I finally decided to give Gym Guyz a try for this run. I have a wedding coming up in a couple of months and it was the perfect reason to kickstart exercise again.

My trainer from Gym Guyz, David, has been phenomenal. He has a fantastic repertoire of exercises, keeping things fresh with every visit. He has an easy-going, but no nonsense manner that keeps the mood light while pushing me to keep going through the exercises. I've accomplished more per session than I thought I could and David's a driving force for that. He also sees when I'm at a tipping point and he shifts things as needed so I never feel like I fail. Then he Ramos it up again when I've recovered enough. I couldn't ask for better.

I'm glad I jumped in with two feet. I should have 50 sessions under my belt (which will hopefully be a little tighter) before the wedding and then another 50 to carry me through to summer. It's difficult going from zero to four sessions per week, but I'm going for it.

Gym Guyz also shares a meal plan with you to help you control your diet. It's important to do both and I'm working on making edits to my food intake as well. Gym Guyz is a whole body package. If you're someone who needs help like I did, it's a great...

I’m a senior with clearly unreasonable expectations of turning back the clock and reclaiming my youth. My delusions hit a pothole when I had surgery last year and I never thought I’d play tennis again. Then I met Kristi, who shares my dream that anything is possible, even for someone 50 lbs overweight and unable to tie his own shoes.

I have only worked with her for 2-3 mos but I have renewed hope and I’m beginning to sense the light at the end of the tunnel or at least believe I can get there with her encouragement. She challenges me and with small steps I now lace and tie my own sneakers which I haven’t done in years. I can walk 3-4,000 steps a day and I’m a believer.

No magic elixirs or spells. It’s hard work but she makes it fun. I look forward to her home visits and putting on the boxing gloves to spar with her. She challenges me and setting realistic goals, I think I may get closer to where I need to be. And the nice thing is that she brings all the equipment that I need to get there! All I need to bring is the...
