Tony Cress Personal Training

After a few hours of being at one of the classes I am exhausted, tired, and ready for a nap. Yep, I feel amazing.
Every time I leave this place I have a huge feeling of accomplishment. Tony and company know what they’re doing and help make an environment that is motivating without being badgering or condescending.
I work mostly with Tony and Gaylynn in the IMPACT classes and I am starting to venture out to other classes when my schedule allows me. Gaylynn is bubbly, friendly, and finds her energy from unknown sources of the world and converts it into giddiness that knows no bounds. Tony is mellow, funny, and approachable. It’s great to have an owner and trainer that you feel like you can bother to ask a stupid question to every now and then.
I believe there personalities help influence a welcoming environment in the classes. There really are some nice folks here and many have helped me learn new exercises when the trainers are busy.
Come here. Seriously. The TRX is calling!

Update — 3 years later and I’m still a client. I think that’s an update that speaks for itself.

Tony Cress is the most knowledgable person I’ve ever met when it comes to health and fitness. He not only is is one of the top trainers in Vegas but he leads by example when it comes to health and leading a good life. I won’t go anywhere else!

Tony Cress Personal training has fantastic pone on one sessions and solid group classes. Whether you are at the beginning stages of your fitness goals, or experienced in working out, they are able to cater to you. At first I wasn’t sure if group classes would be beneficial, but boy was I wrong. My favorite would have to be using the TRX system.

Don’t get me wrong TRX kicks my butt but having Tony right there to explain the technique makes you feel not so stupid and uncoordinated when you first start out!!! Tony’s energy is always positive but not overdone. I’ve seen result from his training in 2 weeks when I’m there 3 days a weeks. Love that you are in and out in 1 hour sweaty as hell but feeling like you concurred the world! Thanks TC… You ROCK!

I’ve been one of Tony Cress’ personal training clients for the past 8 months and finally wanted to share more of a long term review for people looking to use his services. In short, if you are serious about getting in shape, Tony Cress is your guy.
I started with Tony as a 30 year old who had spent the better part of the last decade drinking heavily (don’t take that the wrong way, I work in nightlife), who had a lifetime of making terrible food choices (lots of fast and processed food) and whose only success in any gym was maybe a couple of week stint every other year or so (LVAC still sends me nasty letters about that membership).
Even the mere idea of starting with a personal trainer was admittedly intimidating, but I can say with absolute certainty that it was the best decision that I possibly could have made and that it has quite literally changed every aspect of my life for the better.
To say I was in terrible shape would be a bit of an understatement. Not only was I pencil thin due to poor nutrition and the lack of any real exercise, I also had the joy of a broken foot and torn shoulder standing in the way of my fitness success.
He had his work cut out for him, but very patiently and knowledgeably worked with me through the initial months of necessary corrective therapy (for the busted shoulder and foot) and later transitioned into the actual strength training.
Even though he is pushing you as hard as you can handle (that’s why youre paying for a trainer after all), working out with Tony is actually pretty fun and is something I look forward to on training days. The guy is super personable and his positive, encouraging attitude is almost infectious.
In the time since I started, I’ve all but stopped drinking alcohol, my diet has dramatically improved, I’ve gained over 20 lbs of muscle, I’m more confident, I look better and I can honestly say I’m just a much happier person because of my decision to commit to my own personal health and well being. I’ve even managed to serve as inspiration to friends and family. Watching how far I’ve come this year has been great and my only regret is that I didn’t start working with Tony Cress a few years sooner.
Also…
To Josh B and Kit H, the two negative reviewers below me (who haven’t actually used his services), I’d say if you guys are committed to improving your health, don’t let website confusion (I use it weekly for scheduling, its always been up) and trouble getting a call back stop you. Tony is a one man show and trains from 7AM — 9PM most days of the week. The guy barely has time to eat lunch. Cut him some slack. Hopefully you are able to make it in with Tony and have a positive experience, or at least find success in your fitness goals through some other means. ;-)

Tony Cress changed my life! I had gained a ton of weight over the years due to poor choices and bad habits. When I finally decided to do something about it, I signed up for the 8 week challenge, and the rest is history. I lost 31 lbs and saw my body change so quickly. The workouts are so awesome and efficient, which really makes it worth it since I don’t have time to waste. I’m definitely sticking with Tony Cress! Can’t believe how much better I look and feel, being healthy has improved the quality of my life as a whole, could never have changed so fast without Tony, check him out for yourself!!! I’m currently in the middle of my second 8 week challenge.

Awesome. I did body fitness bot camp there for the first time. Everyone who goes there is beyond friendly; asks you your name, introduces themselves, cheers you on. Start out with a pretty good warm up to get your heart rate up. Then move into circuit work which I love. Definitely worked your whole body and it was fun. I would go back and I would definitely refer others

I was looking to hire my first actual, real trainer. I did a local Google search, checked here on Unilocal and did some basic research. I wanted to find a person who had the results I was after. I felt this would be a good indication that they could help me get the similar results. Who wants to be trained by someone who lacks the discipline to do what they tell you to do? I also wanted to find a person who was kind, but who would also push me. Tony is that guy. He’s great trainer. A REALLY nice person who I am always happy to see and someone pushing me beyond where I could get myself. I simply could not push myself as effectively and with the precision he does. Plus, he’s deep into organic, clean nutrition. What more can you ask for?
Simply put, If you’re thinking about taking your health beyond the next level, this is your guy.

OK I love this place!!!
When I get a chance to go. Everyone is so freaking friendly, you really will make friends here, and so ubber supportive. If you don’t laugh at yourself and someone else at least 5 times in an hour boot camp class there’s definitely something wrong with you.
It’s conveniently located on the corner of Eastern and Windmill so getting there is not hard. Classes are small and intimate, so you definitely get individual attention. He also does personal training on an individual basis if that interests you. He also has classes in the morning, the evening and on the weekends. He let’s you work at your own pace to, so it’s not like he’s a military sergeant screaming at you to do whatever he says.
And the classes are HARD, ubber challenging, and really DO help to change your body! But they are fun! Yeah you do some of the staple things every class but that’s like 10 mins of warm up stuff. From there it changes every class almost, which keeps ADD children like myself occupied.
Tony’s great and he’s not hard on the eyes ladies. You can pay either on a monthly basis or on a per class basis [I think he sells them in bundles of 10]. If you have certain injuries he’ll work w/​you to do other exercises that will either help strengthen your issue or not aggravate it further.
He uses a combination of your own body weight, tires, bikes, ropes, medicine balls, and running around the building whatever it takes.
Highly recommend at least giving it a try!!!

Tony Cress is definitely one of the best trainer in town. Currently I have gym membership in few different places. And let me tell you, this is really the only one work out well for me. I could excercise by myself 2 hrs a day for a month and still don’t see the same result for been in there just 2 weeks. Train with Tony really build up my strength. We don’t lift have weights, but I build the most good looking muscles that way. We don’t really lift anything over 30lbs. The classese im attending right now are the Bootcamp and TRX. And twice a week is enough for me. Thats how effective and efficient the training is! And Tony always provide special to motivate people to work out. And he is really passionate about fitness. We now have around 4 or 5 friends all in the same class

best trainer i’ve ever worked with! he could see injuries during his assessment without me telling him about them. his approach is innovative yet old school. it works regardless of your fitness level. he also designed a program that i could do while out of the country. he truly lives the life he preaches which, to me, is the best sales pitch of all!

I’ve known Tony for years and I can vouch that this guy doesn’t just talk the talk, but he walks it! He taught me amazing workouts that didn’t require fancy machines or a gym membership. you could go to the park and get an amazing workout by just using your own body. Tony’s dedicated to fitness and it shows in his classes. I want to give Tony big up’s! He’s helped me on my quest for first price at a National Fitness Championship.

Tony Cress Is an amazing personal trainer. He is very dedicated to his work. Let me rephrase, to his way of life. His work outs are fun and interesting, and keep you wanting to reach your fitness goals with enthusiasm. He got me and my fiancé into the TRX suspension training. We now own our own 2 trx to keep up with our work outs when not at his classes. I am so excited he opened a new gym. It shows he is doing his best to bring his fitness knowledge to as many people as he can. I love his blogs as well. They are honest and motivating. I recommend Tony Cress personal training to any one wanting to change their fitness self.

Tony Cress is by far the most knowledgeable, versatile & passionate trainer I have ever come across. When I first started training with him, I never once felt uncomfortable or embarrassed about my skill level or about feeling out of shape. Its now been 2 years since I first started training with Tony and my diet and lifestyle have changed forever. He’s always available if you have questions about healthy choices and can help give you that extra push to get moving. Also, his passion for his job and his clients is obvious and it makes you want to work that much harder and learn that much more. You won’t regret making one of the best decisions for your life by training with him!
