Escape

I’ve been a member of Escape Fitness-​Medford for two years and have seen continuous growth in membership during this time. I agree with existing reviews which attribute such success to the friendliness, the quality of knowledge, and the individualized attention the staff as a whole dedicates to client needs at this exceptional fitness facility. No doubt, the high level of staff professionalization evident at «Escape» has to be supported by apt leadership. Such leadership is in the hands of Christian Lee, founder and owner of the facility. In my own training with Christian, I feel my particular needs have been addressed with the same degree of vision and creativity, as are those of an accomplished athlete. In Christian’s entrepreneurship role within «Escape», those qualities of vision and creativity are reflected in the establishment of a fitness center which fosters high levels of staff development, promotes a cohesive approach to training based on improved movement, and provides outreach into the community to include sponsorship of family-​oriented events. If such innovations make «Escape» the alternative to a big commercialized gym, they assure the facility’s relevance to a membership that values interpersonal connectedness, finds inspiration in working closely with self-​confident and highly skilled trainers, and appreciates exposure to up-​to-​date thinking with regard to full-​function fitness. Such relevance can only grow stronger over the years ahead.

Every single trainer and staff member at Escape is super friendly and will make you feel like you’re part of their family. Although everyone there is being put through an intense and serious workout, there is a fun, laid back, and comfortable vibe. You won’t feel any pretentiousness or judgment that you experience at a big commercial gym. They have a wide range of clients; middle & high school student athletes from nearby towns, young, old, fitness beginners, and serious athletes. Whether you are just getting started on your fitness journey, are looking to perfect a sport, or want a more innovative place to work out than your standard gym, this is the place for you.
I always look forward to my training sessions with Sean at Escape. I have been training with him for a few years now, and not only is he a great trainer, but has become a great friend. I have done things I never thought I’d be able to do and reached goals I wouldn’t have even thought of to set! (Still working on those pull ups, though!) Sean is very accommodating, whether it’s dealing with a hectic schedule or working around an injury or pain. He will personally tailor a workout for you, whatever your current goal is, and help you the whole way through. His workouts are challenging, super fun, and never boring or repetitive.
I highly recommend checking out Escape. You will never have to dread going to the gym again!

Ground breaking concepts for full function fitness. I’ve been going to gyms for years and Escape has raised my game. If you want to be faster, stronger and feel better then get to Escape. Classes are fun but challenging and the trainers are the top of the class.

I can’t believe there’s only been one review — every one I know here loves it! The trainers are educated, certified, and knowledgable athletes. They modify your workout if your are injured, or if you just can’t do it. Excellent gym if you are coming from cross fit, as they use some of the same ideas, but will work on your form so you get the most out of it.
Also, people here are just so natural and friendly, I almost feel like I’m back in the city. I got the monthly membership that includes all the classes and one training session per week. I’ve worked mostly with Alicia and Christian and my husband has also worked with Moses — all fantastic. They will start with you wherever you are with your fitness path.
