BioMechanix Strength & Conditioning Clinic

My last review was in October 2012. I am still training at this gym with my trainer. It is a great place to train. Like i said before, super clean, new equipment and the people are very friendly.

This is a great gym! They have all the equipment you need, great instructors and you get a kinesiology tape expert as well.

Equipment here is great! No complaints about the gym at all… Just make sure you find a reliable trainer! The trainer I had employed ended up being a no show 2 weeks in a row @5:30am… unacceptable and unprofessional. no reflection on the gym… The trainer i was using just utilized the facility… Wish I had inquired with the other trainers the gym actually employs… On to the next one!

Some of the most educated, professional and friendly trainers I’ve ever met here. Jon the owner keeps his gym very clean and always has the best trainers in there. Its a gym for serious training. They also have one of the best Wing Chun (Chinese Boxing) Practitioner’s in the world that teaches here– Jin Young, he’s very educated and a great teacher. The gym offer’s performance enhancement, corrective exercise, posture correction, injury rehab, athletic injury rehab, strength training, Kinesio taping, nutritional help and many other health/​athletic benefits. Come on down for that toned, flexible, strong, athletic and tight body (abs and booty too ladies). This gym is ran according to the NSCA standards and guidelines (National Strength and Conditioning Association), the same organization that establishes standards and guidelines for Colleges, Universities and Professional Sports teams throughout the world.

Located extremely close to me, this gym has become my new stomping grounds.
The staff and trainers are extremely nice and respectful, the facility never overly-​crowded a la LA Fitness… And there’s awesome dogs that frequent the premises owned by some of the guys that work there. A cool ancillary benefit for a guy who can’t own pets at his place.
If you want to get in great shape (you know, like now?), I highly recommend this place.

This is the BEST gym I have ever been too. The equipment is all new and the best you can get. The gym is very, very clean. The trainers are excellent. I am 68 years old and did not think I would ever look forward to going to a gym. I really enjoy this place and all the people in it.
Unfortunately since I wrote the review, the gym management treated my trainer very poorly. My trainer is one of the most upstanding and terrific people. Not a kid and very well educated and good. I left with a very bad taste about this gym. He was not the only one poorly and unfairly treated. Others left also.

This gym left me a voice message notifying me that I am no longer welcome to work out there. The reason why:
— forgot to return equipment (1 instance)
— spoke on my phone on the treadmill (1 instance)
— «occupied equipment for too long» (did not pay for a personal trainer)
They are polite up front but if you don’t pay for personal training sessions they don’t care for your business and push you away. I find this very unprofessional and unethical. The $ 79 non-​trainer rate is just a sales channel to bring in customers and up-​sell them.
If you can afford personal training sessions there are much better places.

I would have loved to have given BMX 5 stars, and I think my initial experience was worthy of it… I agree with others that the gym itself is a great facility — clean, stocked with towels, toiletries, and all the amenities and accessories you might need, lockers, well-​kept bathroom etc. However my full experience from start to end, changed things a bit:
I joined as part of their Best Body Express program (BBX) in January when it first launched

I thought it was a great concept and a great opportunity to take advantage of group personal training, especially with friends and loved ones who also joined along with me. It was also a great way to meet new people, get in shape and reach our goals. More than anything I think i speak for all of us when I say we felt inspired and welcome especially since it was a pilot program and the folks at BMX seemed really excited about it as well. It was an atmosphere where everyone knew your name and trainers went above and beyond to invest in your health and make sure we were getting the best workout.
As we got stronger and healthier, we came upon the end of the 1^st month and the initial promotion of $ 49 for the month ended, after which the program would continue at a rate of $ 199 — which for myself and my friends was a bit high, especially for 30 minute sessions. We were ecstatic when the program director Nance called us each, personally, encouraging us to come back, saying that they heard our concerns and really wanted us to stick with it and meet our goals. BBX would now be $ 99 a month, and last an hour long, with new instructors, nutrition sessions and more. Of course we decided to come back.
Over the next few months we saw faces come and go, and a few who stayed on board — regardless we were in the zone and continuing to bond and get stronger. We’d frequently be met with smiles and encouragement, sometimes our photos were taken, and it just felt good.
Looking back i realized that somewhere along the way things changed. I cant speak for everyone, but I myself started to feel like the ugly stepchild, or like we were a burden (which kinda was true at the end). sometimes I’d show up for class, and there was no trainer — unlike some folks i didnt live walking distance, so this was inconvenient — and ofcourse even for our $ 99 we weren’t allowed to touch the machines (personal training gym– i get it). We were however permitted to use the cardio machines if an instructor didnt show up. In this case I would then use free weights (sometimes i would surprise myself showing that i learned from the trainers how to kick my own ass in workout — i am grateful for this). But i did notice that no one smiled like they used to, no more cheering or encouraging. Still i encouraged myself
Until late one friday night in June, while at dinner I saw a mass email from the gym manager on behalf of Nance, that the program would be ending for good the following week — because it wasn’t financially viable. I totally get it, and understand that business decisions have to be made. However I also think the manner in which things where handled were a complete 180 from the welcome we received, and even the personal calls to come back. The generic and impersonal EMAIL felt a bit cold given that they’d previously set the tone for such a personal experience. Not to mention, they’d see us every day. To say that folks were shocked and sad would be an understatement. Nevertheless i made the most of my final week (although the looks we got from others who knew the program was «doomed» got to be too much and so i didn’t feel comfortable finishing off the week, and i stopped going). I guess felt compelled to write this apparent novel after getting my refund check in the mail last week.
Sorry for the long review, i just wanted to be honest. I do think its a great establishment, with amazing trainers Zen, Jess (love you spider woman), and Vinny and it was a cool concept. I just wish I wasn’t part of an expendable pilot program. But I’m totally happy with the results and knowledge I gained, and have applied it to a new workout program. Best wishes to you all.

My trainer, who I have had for a couple of years, took me to BioMechanix to try it out, and I absolutely LOVED it! We have since continued to go there and only there for our training sessions, and I don’t want to go anywhere else!
The equipment is the best I have ever used. They have everything you could possibly want, AND parking is never an issue. The place is beautiful, clean, and obviously really well cared for. Everyone there is really welcoming and I really do feel at home when I am there. The women’s locker room is gorgeous and clean, and readily stocked with anything you could possibly need. It has a really great overall vibe! If you don’t already have a personal trainer they will even set you up with one. The owner, Jon Torek, is extremely nice and knowledgeable. He even helped me by showing me some rehab exercises for an injury that I had. Truly above and beyond any gym experience I have ever had. I would highly recommend BioMechanix to anyone.

I had a session with Jon in his new facility about a month ago. I absolutely enjoyed it. The brand new equipments were so ergonomically fitting to my workout I really felt the difference when I finished. I didn’t have the muscle aches and joint pain I often have after going to my gym (partly because I didn’t have Jon’s expertise there) but these new equipments are truly state of the art. I also enjoyed it because I didn’t have to deal with a gym full of people. I think everyone should have a look at this place!
