Berkshire Functional Fitness

I’ve lost over 25 pounds since starting at this gym. The staff is awesome, and several have become friends. It’s a bit cramped at times, but the trainers are all excellent. In private training sessions, the trainers have taught me the proper techniques and methods for all the equipment. So, I can always find a way to challenge myself without waiting. The classes are also great.

So I just joined this gym a few days ago and so far I have found it to be a very nice place to work out. The personnel that I have interacted with so far have been very nice and it is not a pretentious place. Had an initial mobility evaluation and was given a circuit training program to meet my goals by one of the trainers. The gym is clean, well lit and the equipment is in very good shape. I’ll check back on the review in a few months, when I’m ripped. :)

As someone who works in the fitness world, I can tell you that this is a greatly place to go. I was in the area for the holidays and stopped by several times. The trainers were all very nice and helpful. Their attention to the clients was outstanding. The overall environment was warm and welcoming. They have tons of equipment including free weight, weight machines, treadmills, TRX, battle rope, boxing bag, etc. They pretty much have everything you could need. I love that they have a day pass option, and prices were great. I’ll be stopping by on my next trip to the Berkshires.

Antoine Alston is one of the Berkshires chief assets; we are so lucky to have access to this level of training in such a small community. I’m an exercise maven, trained in the martial arts, and worked out a various gyms in the city. No one I’ve met has the knowledge – and experience, even though he’s relatively young – that Antoine does, and he can work with both body-​builders and 90-​year-​olds. I’ve done personal training with him and classes, and after 8 years am still being surprised with new workouts and exercises. No class or workout is ever the same, which makes for optimum fitness as well as freedom from injury, where repetition is usually the culprit. The gym (s) are beautiful, airy, light, and clean, and everyone is very nice. My experience with Antoine’s fellow trainers has also been positive – in fact am working with Eileen right now, because I think she has the key to what has been, for me, a chronic physical problem. It would be great if both gyms were in one building – don’t know how that’s going to work out in the winter – but that’s a small complaint. The place is terrific.
