Tapactive

I used to go to the gym to meet my trainer. Now, I quit the gym and Tapactive trainers come to me. No more excuses! Plus, everyone that I’ve met has been really amazing, These guys will get you into shape fast.

I’m giving these guys 5 stars. This is super super rare, but in my case Tapactive is in fact as good as it gets.
Listen up, Unilocalers.
2 years of stressful work in NYC, a lot of beer and wine with my 30-​something friends, as well as endless Sunday brunches later, my bathroom scale tipped over the point of what I would call — no return. Over this time I of course tried dieting, cleanses, getting back to my local workout place, doing spin and personal training at the gym, BUT every time I’d end up being forced into a routine that just didn’t fit my work schedule and my lifestyle: I’d skip a day for an after-​work event, then skip another day because I needed sleep more than anything, and after a while my motivation not to work out would take over my life. One of the worst days was when my trainer called me at work to ask me if I was ok. Several thousand I spent on working out with her, and at the end of the day she’s right — what’s the point if I go missing?
Then one of my friends booked Tapactive, and based on his feedback I gave it a try at my building’s gym. I got to work out with a very cool personal trainer, at a time convenient for me, at my location, for a training membership fee. That’s kind of a unicorn of personal training if you ask me. Obviously, I have a long way to go, my body got a beating, my legs are still shaking, but I am loving the flexibility of this service, and recommend it wholeheartedly!
Booking is easy and fast, I can choose a variety of activities, like boxing, personal training, yoga, and I can train in my gym or wherever is good for exercise, on my terms! I don’t ever have to go back to a locker room and not find a locker, or have to watch someone walk around naked (what’s up with that?) and confident while I’m trying to hide in my towel. It’s a sweet deal for someone like me, so yay for Tapactive!

Yes, it’s the Seamless of personal training! We trained with Newton «the Butcher» Kidd and he was fabulous. He came to our apartment right on time (after confirming the night before, love that). He brought boxing gloves and had my husband and I pummeling each other in the name of cardio. I’d also like to try yoga and Pilates — but if you want the boxing real deal, check out Newton.

Getting the motivation to hit the gym after a long day of work is never easy. Also, when your workout choice is treadmill or elliptical, it makes getting motivated that much harder. Thankfully, I TapActive came into my life and my workouts went from long and dull to fun, personalized and convenient.
First of all, the trainer comes to you… so there is no excuse not to get your sweat on. Second, you have options. So far, I’ve tried yoga, boxing and Pilates. The workout mix up keeps my routine fun, challenging and effective.
If you’re looking to get out of a workout slump and skip the boring gym routine, definitely check out TapActive.

I used TapActive for the first time today. I had a private yoga instructor come to my apartment. it was so nice not having to be in a crowded classroom. the instructor was professional and timely. i will be using this service again.

I’ve never written a review on Unilocal before, but my experience was so good I wanted to share it. One of my friends in the city had told me about Tapactive and how he had booked a personal trainer to do a session in his office, and how it was kind of like Seamless for training. I go to the gym often, but I’ve never had a workout instructor and I’ve felt recently that my workouts are too unguided and that I’m not getting the most out of my gym membership.
The process for booking a trainer on Tapactive was really simple — you pick a time and place and basically a great trainer will show up and work with you. If you want, you can add some special requests on top of that (like I want a male trainer).
The workout itself was really effective. The trainer I got was Jonathan Hayes, who was fantastic. He gave me a really specific routine based on what I told him I was having trouble with and what I wanted to focus on generally. Before this I only really did basic stuff — some cardio, push-​ups, sit-​ups, pull-​ups — and the direction and variety from Jonathan is making my workout time much more effective. He was also a really nice guy and fun to work with. I think the workout was well worth the price — it makes my gym membership much more productive because my workouts are much better focused and results come faster. My next workout with tapactive is coming up soon. I hope it’s just as good.
