Excellent gym with a personal touch, Jeff has been been very accommodating and constantly working to get me to up my game. Very friendly staff who get to know the clients quickly. The range of ages who come to workout is great which shows that all are comfortable here. You can't go wrong if you are looking for a new gym.

I have been working with Lyzz for the past 3 years & I always feel better after a session. She is so knowledge & will adjust exercises depending on how you feel that day. She is fun to work with & has a great personality. The rest of the team is just as courteous, friendly & knowledgeable. The gym is clean & friendly with plenty of equipment.

I left the big box gyms and gave Excel a try without any regrets. Although it's a smaller gym, it's very well equipped with both machines, free weights, and cardio equipment. And the staff is extremely attentive—they actually give personal service without your having to ask for it. It's not crowded with grunting muscle heads, it's clean, and other members are friendly and respectful. Personal training is outstanding. I've worked with two different Excel trainers who put me in the best shape of my life. No question. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend this gym. As a senior citizen with no previous gym experience, I had some trepidation when first joining almost two years ago but the trainers and other members were friendly and welcoming so I did not feel uncomfortable. I work with Jeff Roux, the owner, and he is terrific.He is extremely conscientious and sincere , very patient , has a sense of humor and is prepared for each session with a carefully written out individualized plan. Each session carefully increases the difficulty levels , while taking great care to prevent injuries. I feel that my balance, overall strength, and posture have all shown significant improvement as a result of these sessions.

I have been going to this gym for a couple of months now and it’s a great gym. The gym rarely ever gets crowded which is nice because you can workout comfortably rather than be confined to small area like in the name brand gyms. The staff is nice and the owner Jeff is pretty chill. I train with Teddy who has been a great trainer teaching me how to workout effectively for each body parts. He taught me different methods of working out if certain equipments are not available. Always telling me to take notes so I don’t forget the workout routine and his advice when I go off in the fall. I would highly recommend this gym.

I have been working out with Teddy Jimenez ...my personal trainer since becoming a member of excelfitness. I am challenged by him to go the extra mile every time I train. I have also been previleged to work with the other members of staff from time to time. The staff overall is very knowledgeable and professional. They tailor the workout programs to the individual...no matter the age, physical condition. I am very satisfied with the services provided here and highly recommend this Gym to all interested in improving their health. Jeff the owner, is a very personable fellow who possess a healthy sense of humor.

I was in the West Hartford area for about 2.5 months and Jeff and Teddy were excellent at accommodating me into the gym. They helped make sure that I picked the most affordable membership plans for my fitness goals. They were excellent at accommodating personal training around my busy work schedule. And they both used humor and motivation to help me get through challenging workouts. Words just don’t do this place justice- this was the best gym that I have ever been too and has definitely set a standard for both the culture and equipment that I should look for in gyms at different areas.

I scoped out Excel Fitness because they are authorized by Medicare as a Silver Sneakers site. This is a free class for seniors. With it comes a free membership to the gym. I stayed because I love the intimate, laid-back atmosphere, terrific trainers, and progress I am making in my fitness. I pay to train with Teddy Jimenez who also does the Silver Sneakers class. He is a delight and a wonderful professional trainer. The gym has all the equipment I can imagine. It is never crowded. No pool, but friendly, unassuming professionals and clients who become friends. If you are looking for a big warehouse of exercise equipment, lots of noise, impersonal staff, turnover of trainers, don't go to Excel Fitness.

I started at Excel Fitness as I won a 3 month membership and some personal training in an auction. I started working out with Jeff once a week. Just once a week. Without changing anything else, I have lost 2% of my body fat. Excellent results! Flexible availability and real results.

I was so impressed on my first visit by the cleanliness of the gym and the friendliness of the owner, Jeff. I observed him motivating the person he was training and making sure the client had proper form. There were people of different ages and abilities. I felt welcome and did not feel judged. I highly recommend this gym and Jeff as a personal trainer. He will create workouts to help you reach your personal goals!
