I can’t say enough about BUF Fitness, the trainers are exceptional, and the overall vibe is so welcoming. The trainers all take a personal interest in you, no matter your fitness level, and truly want you to succeed. They genuinely care about their clients and their development. The best aspect of BUF is the friendly, no judgmental atmosphere. Clients of all ages and fitness levels are welcome. You do not just learn about exercise and weight training. They offer a genuine and completely holistic approach to health that includes nutrition and mental focus in addition to exercise and weight training. I came to BUF with a chronic elbow condition and mobility issues. My trainer, Long, is nothing short of a miracle. His knowledge and expertise of anatomy, exercise techniques, and training are helping me overcome my handicap to a level I did not think possible. There is no cookie-cutter formula here. My workouts are tailored specifically to me. Most of my exercises, especially initially, were modified to get the most out of them. In four short months, I am down to 11% body fat and have gained several pounds of muscle.I look forward to walking through the doors and always feel amazing when I leave. I highly recommend BUF! - Dan Azarain
This is by far the greatest personal training gym & program out there. All of the trainers I’ve worked with so far are extremely understanding, helpful, and make me feel comfortable working out, something I always struggled with. On top of that, the atmosphere of the gym is just extremely inviting and positive, which makes me excited to go back and train each week. Ben’s created an amazing space to train, and all of the trainers are phenomenal. Plus, the prices are amazing too, best I’ve ever seen for training in the city!!
Been working out at BUF for about four months. Clean gym and all the trainers and fantastic and unique humans that find the best way to push your limits. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking to improve their health and fitness. (Mental and physical) One of my favorite things is getting weight at the start of the month on the inBody scale. A great way to track ones body composition progress.
BUF and the trainers there deserve way more than 5 stars. I think a great phrase to describe my experience with BUF over the past 9 months is ‘way above and beyond.’ I’ve worked with several trainers there who are all excellent. Every single one of them help me to feel confident, motivated and challenged. But my go-to guy is JanErik. He is the VERY BEST. Often, he challenges me when I’d would otherwise have given up and, sometimes, I hate him(momentarily) for it. But I love seeing the results and how I feel after. Everyone should get the experience to train with him.The experience in BUF is that of a fun group of friends. Thankfully, it’s a relaxed and fun atmosphere with lots of laughter and at the same time one that is dedicated to progress and achieving goals. Everyone is a pleasure to work with.In the past, I have never really enjoyed working out, either from lack of knowledge and poor form causing injuries, crippling social anxiety, or just inconsistent dedication. At BUF, I have always felt welcome and part of the crowd, and motivated to stay on my routine to achieve the results that I’m getting.I’ve never been happier with how my body looks at the way I feel in it - the confidence I feel is the most important part to me. I truly don’t think this would have been possible with the right formula that one gets when making the commitment to work with BUF.Keep doing the stellar job you’re all doing!
I joined BUF because I had a difficult time being motivated to go to the gym. Now I genuinely enjoy going and seeing my progress each week which is something I never thought I’d say, lol. It also helps that the people at BUF are super fun. I know this is cliché but they’re like a little family. I’ve trained with each trainer at this point and they’re all really sweet and knowledgeable at what they do. I do 2 on 1 training which is great because it’s affordable and I get to hang out with a workout partner. I highly recommend you at least try it out :)
BUF has hands down my favorite training experience. The trainers are super knowledgeable and have made training something that I look forward to. When you enter the location it’s a relaxed and friendly environment but just know you’re going to get that WORK in! I would recommend BUF for any fitness level, as a newbie I’ve learned so much and have gotten incredible results in the areas that I was seeking. Thank you for what you all have done and are doing at BUF, it’s incredible.
I look forward to going to the gym. (Read that again.) The personal trainers who work at BUF are all knowledgable, professional, and encouraging. Lifting weights is as much a mental game as a physical one and the trainers keep my mind positive. They celebrate my wins with me - even the ones I don’t train with! They put any minor setbacks in perspective and they do not let me quit. Once upon a time, I wanted a gym to work out, shower and steam, and sit with a health smoothie. Now I don’t need any of those ‘extras’ and BUF is a perfect fit: I show up, I lift, and I leave. I highly recommend checking them out.
BUF is the real deal! I walked in with previous knee injuries and a significant lack of muscle mass and high body fat percentage. Not having any strength training history, they were able to bring me up from a complete novice to a person who has a good foundation of basic forms and strengths. Their training method is effective. I was able to gain 4 lbs of muscles and lose 6 lbs of body fat in six weeks. My trainer Long knows exactly what he was doing and just follow his directions, you will achieve massive results.
The best trainers and training program I have ever worked with - and I’ve tried almost everything. I have been training at BUF for a few months now and my body has completely transformed. I’ve lost at lest 20 lbs of fat, have gone down two pant sizes, while gaining a great deal of lean muscle mass. Very affordable rates. The trainers are great - good people, fun, know their stuff and genuinely care about helping you progress. Highly recommended .
BUF Personal Fitness is hands down not only the most comfortable I felt at the gym, but also the best progression my body has had physically and emotionally. I used to be someone who had a really hard time sleeping (like an hour or two) a night but ever since I started coming here my sleep schedule normalized, I became more flexible, where as before I could barely bend my knees; and I started standing and sitting a lot better and taller in my day to day life. Ben is really flexible with working with your schedule, and all of the trainers (though specific shout outs to the ones I worked with: Camila, Evan, Chao, Kalib, Li, Scott, Long and of course Ben) are wonderful, and get to know how you and your body work on a personal level. I really recommend coming here if you’re looking for a personal trainer, some exercise, or just a confidence booster in your day to day life, and I cant wait to book more sessions soon.
Five stars and would rate more if possible. It was almost 7 years since I worked out seriously and regularly. I wasn’t sure if at 40 I could get back into it but due to the program and professional customized approach I am feeling great and back on track. What I like the most is the no pressure (zero sales tactics as you get with most NYC clubs) the trainers know what they are doing (shout out to Jan Erik- amazing) and the environment is very positive, and as a bonus fun.Great new location, very accessible and clean. Definitely a place you should try...if like me and out of the swing don’t be intimidated. They will get you where you want to be and make a very enjoyable/ positive experience.
BUF Personal Training will, no joke, change your life! I went in overweight and moderately motivated to get it together. In four months Ben and his team helped me drop more than 20 pounds and motivate me to keep reaching for and achieving big fitness goals. You won’t find a more dedicated group of trainers or a more fun and exciting place to workout and get your fitness on! And you can’t beat the location! Right by Port Authority, so easy access to multiple subway lines! Give BUF a try. You won’t be disappointed!
I really cant stress how wonderful the team at BUF is. Really easy to work with my trainer (super flexible, knowledgeable, and results driven) and fantastic atmosphere, extremely respectful of taking good care of their clients (both pre and during covid). I also cant get over how affordable their plans are! No matter the position you find yourself in, there is a plan that suits your needs from both a health + financial perspective. Love. So happy I found BUF and look forward to each session! Highly recommend!!
Not only is the training staff educational and thoughtful about your fitness journey, but BUF training is an inclusive environment open to all different types of people and levels. I always look forward to my sessions at BUF and have seen a ton of progressive in my fitness journey. Not only have I gained muscle mass, but I have learned how to properly work out and balance my nutrition to cut properly. Unlike other fitness studios where they create an artificial version of acceptance, BUF fitness is truly a family and I would 10/10 recommend.
Training with BUF has been amazing over the last year! Ben is an amazing small business owner who really gets what it takes to motivate his clients, match them with the right trainers and get results.He fosters a culture of inclusivity and friendliness, so working out has gone from something I dread to something I look forward to. Ive also had a great experience transitioning to virtual training during the COVID-19 pandemic. While I very much look forward to getting back to in-person BUF, Ive been so impressed by the workouts weve transitioned to during this time.If youre looking to love your trainers and training experience, BUF is the place to be!
Starting BUF and introducing that into my lifestyle was the best decision that Ive ever made. Ben and the other BUF mates will always be there listening to your questions and concerns and make sure you reach your goal; whether that is fitness related, physical pain related, dietary concerns, theyre there for you! But I also want to emphasise the atmosphere of BUF. Whatever goal you have, it is for sure a mental game, and people at BUF will treat you so much like a family. So much care! I will gladly send my friends this way, and I hope everyone gets BUFfed!
I cannot reiterate this enough: BUF is incredible!! Im a little more than a month in but have seen incredible changes not only to my body, but to my stress levels, sleep patterns and general well being. Long, Kenny, Ben and the entire team listen to what you want to accomplish, personalise your workouts, motivate you and are fun to work with. If you are on the fence about joining - do it, you will not regret it!
My training is less about vanity and more about wellness (of course we all want to be proud of our bodies). I had severe/debilitating back pain issues. The physical therapist only had tools to take me so far. BUF has taken me to the end game. Severe pain eliminated! And we continue to work on overall strength. Their care and detail is unmatched. The BUF family has given me something I could not have gotten on my own and done it in a fun and encouraging environment. Give it a try. You won’t go back.
If you are looking for a personal trainer gym that is both extremely professional as well as extremely supportive with your work out journey, look no further than BUF! BUF Personal Training is of the highest quality in the personal training world. Their facilities are safe, clean and fully equipped. Their trainers are extremely professional, but also some of the nicest people you will meet. They will push you to your limits but also make sure you staying safe and doing the exercises with the proper technique. All of these aspects result in an externally inviting environment that welcomes everyone and everyone! And during this Covid time, BUF has dedicated itself to providing a clean and safe workout space. All of the equipment is cleaned after each workout, and all of the trainers wear masks. The gym itself is never crowded so there is plenty of space for whoever is working out to be distanced. Overall, BUF Personal Training is the best place to get in shape!
Training with BUF has been the best personal training experience Ive ever had. The trainers are so personal (pun intended) and really connect with you. Ben has really started a fantastic business. If youre the type of person who has been thinking of trying to work with a personal trainer, or have been looking to work with an expert who knows how to fit every training session to your personal needs, I believe BUF is the way to go
Its hard not to repeat what other reviewers have said. BUF is a great place to train. Ben is a great communicator, works closely with you when youre new to figure out your goals and even if you start working with other trainers on the team (Ive worked with a few of them when my schedule has shifted and theyre all wonderful) Ben knows you, your goals, and ensures the whole team is taking care of you. Its very much a community.What I really appreciate, as someone who is not great about working out on my own, is that the work is simple and straightforward. The main exercises are emphasized and consistently reinforced.
The trainers are knowledgeable and the scheduling is flexible which is very helpful for me. I prefer them greatly to hiring a trainer at a chain gym who tend to be disinterested. BUF trainers work with you the whole hour and only check their phones to review your stats. The results for me speak for themselves having lost 9% body fat with a couple more percentage points to go.
If you want to learn to lift, or want refreshers on how to gain muscle or lose fat, this is the place to go. The trainers are a pleasure to work with, and Ben (the founder) is awesome.I’m literally a before and after photo on the website
Training at BUF has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The trainers are all top notch and care deeply about my progress. They have their own system of training that simply works. Love this place.
I highly recommend BUF Personal Training! For years I couldnt get motivated to workout regularly because most training programs are complicated and very hard to follow through with consistently. Ben and the team at BUF make it simple...their no nonsense, to the point training techniques make it easy! In just a short time Ive been able to transform my body to become a better and healthier version of myself.
Honestly I wish I could give this place 6 stars!! The trainers are not only very talented but make working out enjoyable/fun. They really teach you about how to lift and now I feel 100% confident in doing all the major compound movements!Thank you to all the BUF trainers! Also the owner Ben is amazing and knowledgeable, not to mention a great guy!
Ben and his team are fantastic. I train with Kenny twice per week and have been very pleased with the workout plan he created for me and the results that I have seen. BUF provides a fun atmosphere with knowledgable trainers that get you great results. Highly recommended.
I love it here! I come from Bushwick 3x a week, so that says something! I joined back in late December after struggling to workout on my own. Everyone here is so personable and really know what they’re doing. They have taken my my relationship to working out to a higher level. They really help you get form down which is super important to me and I’m lifting numbers I didn’t think I ever could! I love my trainers too shoutout to Scott, Jan Erick, and Kenny :)
Had great time training at BUF. Ben was being really supportive throughout the whole journey. My goal was to gain some weight as i was going through some tough time and under a lot of stress that i lost weight so fast. I was able to go from 125 to 155lbs. Ben was also such a good emotional support that distracted me from what i went through and helped me to stay focus as well as to get away from unhealthy lifestyle.Great memories 💪🏻
Ben and his team of trainers at BUF are the best. They helped me develop out a a reliable training routine and taught the necessary techniques to optimize my workouts and overall health.I started working out with Ben after I felt myself plateau and even injuring myself a number of time trying to push past. Under his guidance Ive gotten to places I would never have managed on my own.
Omg BUF is FANTASTIC. Seriously, could not recommend more. I literally used to be terrified of working out and training, but now I actually cant imagine my life without it. All the trainers are so wonderful and friendly and motivating. The atmosphere is really fun, but chilled, and super encouraging. 10/10. Love it.
Ben and his team are great at the work they do. Ben is always available to answer any fitness related question in a patient and professional manor. Highly recommend trying BUF if you are looking to meet your fitness goals in an achievable but challenging way.
I would definitely recommend BUF personal training! The trainers are all excellent super personable. They make training fun while pushing you to achieve your goals.
Ben Unger is an excellent trainer and motivator. He focuses on total fitness and building strength, first and foremost through proper form. He explains, listens and gives me the tools I need to work out properly when I am in my own. He is patient and encouraging and I highly highly recommend him. BUF is well located, well equipped and maintained, and has a great welcoming productive vibe.
5 stars are not enough to rate these folks. BUF trainers are not only friendly and welcoming, but professional, knowledgeable and available all the time. If you feel uncomfortable in a conventional gym environment, BUF is the place for you. If you have crazy work hours and have a difficult time committing to a schedule, BUF is the place for you. If you are queer, BUF is the place for you! The $ per session is comparable to other’s fees, but the quality of these trainers greatly surpasses other I’ve worked with.
Ben and his team are fantastic! They first really help to get the form/mechanics down and then build from there. In just the few weeks I’ve been working with them, I already feel so much stronger and energized, and look forward to continuing the journey. Also such a great vibe, with a professional team who make it fun and motivate me to push myself!
After years of trying to be consistent with my workout, BUF taught me the way to really enjoy working out! They make working out fun and you literally see the results in weeks. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a real change in your quality of life.
I’ve been working out with Ben and his trainers for five months now and I’m already in the best shape of my life. I feel like I’ve discovered a secret gem, a private gym in Midtown with affordable two on one rates, with very knowledgeable and fun trainers, and very accommodating to my schedule. They’ve also helped me tremendously with my diet. The most motivating part is seeing the progress I’m making from week to week, and feeling like I’m really learning HOW to work out, with the correct form, so I can stay healthy and fit the rest of my life.
Amazing studio with fun, inclusive and engaging trainers that make working out something I look forward to. It’s a great atmosphere where you feel like you’re with friends working out together. And on top of that, they really know their stuff and are extremely attentive to your fitness goals and pushing you to be better. Highly recommend.
The experience at BUF is awesome. The amazingly, friendly and welcoming staff make your goals the priority. They are exceptionally knowledgeable about your fitness needs and take into consideration and coach you about the nutrition needed to be successful.
I have been going to BUF for a bit over 6 months, and I have only good things to say about it. Everyone in the team is very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The energy and the atmosphere in the gym is always great and I always have a great time.
Working out is more than just physical with BUF. Not only do you look incredible but you feel incredible. The entire team is a dynamic force of encouraging, motivating, and determined individuals who prove they care. If you want to get excited about going to workout it’s time to get BUF!
Absolutely fantastic team of trainers with a warm, welcoming, and positive atmosphere. Greatly enjoyed my experience with the virtual HIIT classes. I always feel encouraged to do my best, and who doesnt like laughing with their trainer while doing the workout.
Results. Convenience. Knowledge and Professionalism. Overall Enjoyment.On all accounts, Ben/BUF gets 10s across the board (5 stars in this case). In the past 6 months, I’ve seen noticeable strength and size gains (the reason I sought out personal training). Ben is super accommodating and happily works with my inconsistent schedule. He’s always on time, the space is well maintained with high quality equipment, and his deep knowledge and expertise are apparent. And on top of all of that, he’s super friendly (as are the other trainers and even the other clients for that matter) and makes each workout fun... or as fun as “working out” can be.Highly recommend BUF if you’re in the market for great personal training that’ll make you smile and laugh just as much as it’ll make you grunt and sweat.
Buf makes you feel like you have a fitness family in NYC. You feel very supportive. You can text your trainers anytime. They also help you feel motivated about life. They’ll help you with anything.I have gained in muscle and I keep going up. I feel excited to go compared to other gyms I’ve been to.
I honestly never anticipated a desire to work out, but I look forward to going to Buf each time to not only better myself physically but also acclimate myself to a culture I never thought I’d be a part of. It’s a personal goal of mine to transition from bony to beastly.The entire environment of the gym is beyond welcoming and far what I initially anticipated and I have absolutely nothing negative to say. The personalities of all the trainers are terrific and encouraging. It’s a work hard—play hard mentality. When it comes to the weights it is a battle with myself and in between sets I have so much fun talking with Ben, the other trainers, and clients.I started at Buf with Ben Unger (Benny) and he told me about how he got into personal training and he voiced his own struggles. This resonated with me. Being skinny all my life may not be something to complain about but I saw people all around me with muscle and I wanted to develop the confidence I deserve for myself. It’s amazing how your physical wellbeing can translate to your mental wellbeing. This is also true if you read the bio’s of the trainers and see their own personal battles with themselves.Working out is now a stress reliever to my hectic life and my therapy. No matter how busy you are, this dedication is unequivocally worth your time.As a clinician myself, I have been impressed by how much Ben knows and even the things he is willing to teach me. He is a stickler of good form and if I have pain somewhere he makes adjustments accordingly. He also makes suggestions to my diet and never presses me to buy certain supplements. He is always pushing me to improve and his desire to see me win—in addition to the battle I have with myself to push myself is what drives me to stick with it and push myself. I have a stronger fire and desire to push myself now when compared to when I started this journey and I cannot wait to experience the thrill of seeing the future results as I continue. It’s a journey and not a destination and takes time, dedication, and patience. Getting a personal trainer can be costly, though these rates are better than most in the city, but the investment you make in yourself is something you will get a complete return on in the end in the form of a fitter self and more confidence—both physically and in one’s desire to achieve their goals.Book a session with Buf and give it a try, you won’t regret it and you’ll be considered a part of the family in no time.-Benny Ackerman
Ive tried several different trainers, at both my old CrossFit and my regular gym, and was not seeing real results. Thought I’d try Ben’s team out and I haven’t looked back. Very accommodating of my schedule, and very knowledgeable. The atmosphere is the best part — a true differentiator. Everyone feels welcomed and supported.
Been training with BUF for about a year now. Have worked out with Ben, Kalib, and Li and all are great with their own styles to help you achieve your goals. Really enjoy my sessions and coming back twice a week every week
Can’t say enough about this place and program. From the minute, I walked in the first time to the last pain staking second each session of cardio work, the entire team is next level supportive. Super intelligent trainers who care about form and safety first and then pushing you outside of your self-defined comfort zones.Did I mention great music and even nicer clientele? Seriously amazing all around. Having gone to every level of gym from boutique to high-end, I’ve finally found a place to call home where I know I can finally be successful.Xoxo,Gossip Girl
Ive been seeing Ben for years now and hes incredible. Holds me accountable for not only training but food intake each week. His studio is the best Ive seen in the city. Will be using Ben and his stable of trainers for many more years to come.
Ive been training at BUF for five months now and could not be any happier with my results. The level of commitment and efficiency you get in every workout here is unmatched!
The programming is high quality - generally going for heavier lifts but also do HIIT sessions that leave me torched. The trainers are all fun, upbeat, and know what they’re doing. The space is clean and the location is convenient.
Never thought I would say it but I LOVE working out!!! Ben and the entire team create a fun, welcoming environment and the workouts are amazing! I can honestly say that after 6 Months I am in the best shape of my life!!!
Ive been working out with Ben and the BUF guys for about a year and a half. Im getting results, and theyre a great group of trainers who will help you ready your fitness goals.
Nice equipment. Trainers are professional and patient and they really push that extra miles for me!
I’m almost 67 years old and I’m in the best shape of my life - stronger and leaner than ever. Thanks to BUF! Ben keeps me motivated, pushing me to excel and always keeps me laughing. Pilates with Li is a treat. Best trainers I’ve ever had.
The absolute best crew - all super qualified professionals who know what their doing and how to get you want to be. Best of all is the flexibility and ability to adjust to whatevers going on with your schedule and needs!
Love BUF, always a solid workout, only doing things you need to get fit and grow without dealing with all different of packages.Very knowledgeable trainers and nice atmosphere.
Started with Ben and team in 2019 and have loved every minute of it. Great community feel, clean space, and sound coaching. Never been happier with my body and the choice to leave Equinox.
I’ve been training at BUF for almost a full year now and have lost over 20 pounds of fat and replaced it with 15 pounds of muscle! Even better, I’m 44 years old and this is easily the best my body has ever looked!
This place is the real deal. Ben and his team are incredible! If you want to get in the best shape of your life in a fun, supportive, and affirming environment, look no further. Cant recommend enough!
Having had other PTs, Kalib has stood out - not only in his knowledge of proper form and technique, but he also takes the time to make sure I understand the underlying muscles used, as well as body positions and movements that might lead to injury. He has really stood out in how he incorporates a holistic approach to exercise, wellness and mindfulness.The facilities themselves are spotless, which is paramount atm!
The best team of fitness professionals in nyc! Highly recommend to anyone who wants attention to detail and a customized workout plan and guidance! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have had personal trainers for years and BUF is by far the best experience. Everyone is super knowledgeable and kind. I won’t go anywhere else! Recommend 100%

Review №1
2022-01-24If you’re looking for personal training then I honestly don’t think there’s anything better than BUF in NYC. Just look at how many other 5 star reviews this place has. Everyone here is super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. It’s not boring at all. Everyone is easy to get along with and most of them are very funny. Before choosing BUF I searched far and wide for affordable and quality personal training programs. I obviously didn’t try all of them, but that’s mostly because they were expensive. On top of that, most personal trainers require you to have or purchase a separate gym membership, which is an additional cost. To be honest the main reason I chose BUF is because it was the most affordable option, and you pay as you go. It’s not like you’re paying upfront for a few months, or even a single month. I chose BUF because of the price but don’t let the affordability fool you. The level of quality I received is far beyond the price I paid. They have their own facility so no extra cost for a separate gym membership. And most of all, they were all fantastic at their jobs. If you’re serious about personal training, then give this a shot and you won’t be disappointed. If for some reason you don’t like it then hey, you pay as you go so you don’t really lose money if you decide it’s not for you. Give it a shot.

2022-09-06I had a great experience at BUF and made consistent progress with Kenny and some of the other trainers at BUF. A super friendly team and a motivating environment that will keep you on track to reach your fitness goals. Very flexible regarding scheduling on a weekly basis as schedules shift. Highly recommend. My go to for dependable personal training when Im in NYC.

2022-04-07BUF Personal Training is the best! All of the trainers are so nice and friendly and go out of their way to really explain the proper form and technique. Ben is great with being flexible with scheduling and discussing nutrition goals. After training for over 7 months, I was able to get into great shape, targeting different muscle groups and following a specific workout each time to really tone and build muscle.

2021-12-06BUF is the first personal training program Ive done and its one of the best decisions Ive made as I reach a new decade in my life. Ive only been training here for about five months, but the physical and mental progress has been worth every penny and sweat drop. My plan is the 2-on-1 one hour, 3x a week plan and I highly recommend it for the price and people.Ive had the pleasure to work out with most, if not all, the kind trainers and each of them have helped me more than I could ask for. I used to be a gym-goer with zero knowledge of how to actually change my body, but BUFs nutrition and work out plan has given me more results than years of lallygagging around the local gym.Not only am I gaining physical gains, but the knowledge of how to use the gym equipment and the proper forms are the main reasons why I came to Bens gym. I still have a lot to master to ultimately begin going to the gym on my own, but I plan on being a part of the BUF family for a while.In short, HIGHLY recommended for people who are total gym rats or total newbies.

2022-05-17This has been the best gym I have ever trained in. The trainers are fantastic in both, personality and training. The gym is well equipped and offers a comfortable atmosphere to train in, regardless if you are just starting or have been training for a long time. Everything is easy going. I definitely recommend it!

2022-06-29I went to BUF Personal Training to get help with defining my chest and arms in the lead up to the Atlantis cruise. The team at BUF were welcoming and knowledgable and I felt great on the cruise. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for personal training

2020-12-02Whether youre an experienced gym-goer or totally new to working out, BUF is for you. The whole BUF crew is friendly, flexible, laid-back, and a lot of fun. Expect to laugh at least once every session. They personalize your session to help you maximize your goals, while still ensuring you get a quality full-body workout in. Ben is a fantastic trainer. I started seeing results in less than one month in and have been happy with BUF since Day 1 (going on 9 months now). BUF is especially inclusive toward the queer community which makes me feel welcome and celebrated-- theres no better boost to your confidence than feeling like youre valued. Go BUF!

2021-10-04BUF Fitness has been an amazing experience. It truly is a hidden gem. I would highly recommend to all. I was in the worse shape of my life after sitting on the couch for a year due to the pandemic. I was embarrassed at how out of shape I was. They worked with me where I was and got me back on track quickly. They helped me with not only my fitness but also my nutrition and kept me accountable, which I needed a lot of in the beginning. All of the coaches are extremely knowledgeable and well trained. Plus the environment is so welcoming, warm, friendly, and inclusive. There really are all kinds of people and it makes for a great place to workout. The energy is always upbeat and the personal attention you get is next level. They worked with me with my budget too, so whatever your budget they find a way. 5 stars without a doubt.

2022-01-01Ben was very professional. He helped me design a personalized training routine based on my physical condition and training goal. The training process is highly personalized and adaptive. Ben adjusted the training gradually based on my performance and progress. During a 2 month time period, I can see my body getting into better shape, gaining muscles and being able to handle much larger weights compared with what I started with. Highly recommend it!

2022-01-172021 December marks my 9th consecutive months with BUF. Looking back on 2021, deciding to train with them was the best decision Ive made for myself. I am stronger both mentally and physically. I am more confident about who I am and what I am capable of. Simply, I am a better person now than 9 months ago. The experience hasnt been just about training. Its about friendship, the comradery this group of trainers bring to you. I primarily worked with Kenny, Long and Camila. I highly suggest (as I was also referred by a friend of mine) BUF to anyone who is looking to change. Whats there to lose? Best return on investment? Invest on yourself. BUF can help you.
