WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

From the moment I signed up, I have seen consistent progress in both my lifts and my physique.

I heard about Gaglione Strength and Coach John in March of 2015 from one of the members at my old gym. They told me they competed in their first powerlifting meet and were hooked from there on out. I’m always trying find new ways to innovate my training and challenge myself while having fun and staying safe. Learning about GS couldn’t have happened at a better time. From the moment I signed up, I have seen consistent progress in both my lifts and my physique. Before coming to GS, my squat was 335 on a good day and my deadlift was 365. After starting to train with Coach John and the other GS coaches, I entered my first powerlifting meet in June of 2015 and got bit by the powerlifting bug. I achieved my first meet goals of breaking 1000lb total, with a 385 squat, 275 bench and 450 deadlift. After a year with GS, I squat 435lbs and deadlift 455lbs. That’s almost 100lbs on both my squat and deadlift from when I started while achieving a leaner physique and gaining more self-confidence. But the best part is not only the progress you see in yourself, but the way a group of people can come together, motivate and inspire each other to push past your limits to achieve more and create such a positive environment, and that’s exactly what powerlifting has to offer.

I'm 54 years old and never thought about lifting. I thought it would hurt me even more.

I have been active my whole life. Gymnastics, aerobics, yoga…and my job. All of that took a toll on my back. I’ve been suffering for years with back pain. My daughter Danielle joined Gaglione Strength 2 years ago, and I watched her body transform. She looks amazing! I’m 54 years old and never thought about lifting. I thought it would hurt me even more. Well, was I wrong!!! She convinced me to join, and only 4 months later, I can’t even tell you how great I feel. My back is almost 100% better. Coach John told me that you have to keep moving, especially when you get older, and he was right. I look forward to every class and can’t wait to see how I look in the months to come. John has been such a great coach and I thank him for helping me.

The community and group lifting is awesome.

I’ve been a member to this gym for just over two years now, the community and group lifting is awesome. Having a crowd of people cheer you on during big lifts make a huge difference mentally. The training is great and the coaches are always ready to help with any questions you have.

I feel better and my bone density increased.

A very comfortable and friendly atmosphere. A lot of one on one help since I am an older woman that never belonged to a gym before. I feel better and my bone density increased. All the trainers are extremely helpful and always make me feel like I am doing a good job every time I come to the gym. I highly recommend any one afraid to lift weights to come here and try it out.

I’ve never completely entrusted my programming and training to another person before.

I have been weight training for about 7 years, have a background as a personal trainer, and at one time an aspiring strength and conditioning coach. I can say without a doubt that the last year training with Coach John has been the best I’ve ever had as a lifter. I’ve had problems squatting for most of my years lifting, and within a year John has coached me to a 300 lb squat. I can’t express how unbelievable that is to me. I’ve never completely entrusted my programming and training to another person before. I can say without a doubt that my trust is well placed. I eagerly look forward to what the future holds for my powerlifting career and I cannot give enough thanks to John Gaglione.

John and his staff really are outstanding.

I’ve been going here for a little over a year now, and John and his staff really are outstanding. I’ve hit numbers that I never thought I would hit and am still making steady progress. John always takes time to help you if you ask and practices what he preaches. If you’ve been considering going for a workout, just do it. I’m sure you’ll want to sign up after.

The day I found Coach John, I knew he was the coach for me.

I was searching for a coach for about 6 months with no luck and a lot of frustration. Nothing really felt right and most places offered the same, tired programs. I have worked with several coaches and have a good working knowledge of training, so I knew what I was looking for. The day I found Coach John, I knew he was the coach for me. After my first training session at Gaglione Strength, I was ready! In just the first month, I made significant improvements in all my lifts. But the best part was getting to meet and train with some of the most genuine and kind people I’ve known. The community is exceptional and everyone is treated with respect, no matter age, gender, or level of ability. Can’t leave out Coach Ben and Coach Ron, who always bring a positive attitude and endless support at every training session. John makes it his mission to put the people and building this community first. Get to Gaglione Strength today!

I never knew what my body was capable of until now.

The owner John is an amazing coach and friend. He is extremely supportive and pushes you to be the best you can be. His positive attitude and determination shows through his team and the whole atmosphere of the gym. Each member at Gaglione Strength is as supportive as the next. I have made alot of great friends, all while gaining strength and losing weight. John is constantly trying to improve the gym by adding new equipment, new programs such as yoga and more team building activities. I never knew what my body was capable of until now and I can honestly say I look forward to coming in 3x a week!

Been training here for a year, wouldn’t want to lift anywhere else.

Been training here for a year, wouldn’t want to lift anywhere else. I’ve yet to see a training environment come close to this, the coaching and programming is tailored to you personally. Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned strength athlete, Gaglione Strength is the place for you.

At 48 years old I can honestly say walking into Gaglione Strength is the best decision I have ever made.

In just under one year, Gaglione Strength has helped transform me from having a basically unhealthy lifestyle to being focused, goal oriented and the strongest I have ever been. My favorite thing to do is train in their supportive and diverse environment. At 48 years old I can honestly say walking into Gaglione Strength is the best decision I have ever made.
