The Training Zone

I've been working out at Training Zone for years and continue to do so because it's a great little private training facility. I've done the owner's Matt's Saturday morning spin class many times and it is absolutely killer in the best possible way. Added bonus the bikes are new (less than a year old) and adjustable every which way so I am comfortable through the entire hour long class. Overall, the gym's equipment is kept in good working order and is always very clean. In addition to spin classes, I do done one-on-one and group training sessions with Preston, Colet and Martinez...all three of whom are fantastic, knowledgeable trainers capable of helping just about anyone reach their fitness goals. I enjoy small group sessions the most because I get to work out with other clients and we cheer each other on when we feel like rolling over and playing dead. I've met some incredibly nice, professional people in group sessions and some of them have even become my friends outside of the gym. I like that I'm always warmly greeted as soon as enter ""The Zone"" AND given a clean towel AND a complimentary bottle of water at every workout. I also like that there is ample parking conveniently located right outside the gym door. I'm able to get in and out very quickly and appreciate that the gym is adjacent to Publix and a dry cleaners so I can quickly knock out a few errands after my workout. Lastly, I really like Training Zone's pricing. To save a bit of money I buy group sessions in packages of 10 and pay less than $40/session for kick ass workouts. What a bargain! more

Training Zone is beyond comparison. I've been an avid exercise class groupie for over 20 years and I've attended some of the ""best"" fitness classes in NYC, LA (the ""mecca of fitness"") and Miami. So far the classes taught by Training Zone owner Matt Hurst are by far the best. Each class is completely different from any other. Matt gives each student individual attention and instruction throughout the class. Students not only learn the proper form and technique for each exercise and movement but also learn which muscles are supposed to be working and why. It is hard to believe that an instructor can pack so much information in 60 minutes. The energy in the room is unbelievably high. I've never seen so many people in such great shape in one place!!! You won't find any slackers here. Be prepared to sweat and expect to feel those muscles a few days after! Make sure to call the Zone to make a pre-reserve the class otherwise you may not get. Most classes are sold out ahead of time. Pros: Special, individual attention in every class. Great facility, Incredible Music, High Energy Cons: If you don't call ahead, you may not get in. more

For about 6 weeks have been going to the Training Zone for my scheduled training sessions. I have been very impressed with the facility...equipment, cleanliness, atmosphere, and Very! friendly personable employees. Above all, my experience with the personal trainer, Martinez Scorza, has been remarkable. He has customized my training to meet my individual goals and supersede my expectations! Motivating me to go that extra mile. Martinez's has a vast abundance of proven knowledge, whether nutritional, fitness, or the anatomical physique. This endless supply of knowledge and talent continues to amaze me and feed my focus to achieve my goals and gain muscle mass. I have been working out religiously for over four years with several trainers, primarily with fitness training. This year I have vowed to raise the bar with my work outs. Now, I feel that I am truly on the right pathway to success, with the guidance of my personal trainer. Yes, I still have to do the work, but having a great teacher and trainer can make all the difference. more

I tried losing 16 pounds doing things my way. With the fitness dvds and all kinds of exercise equipment. Nothing seem to work. It was the hardest 16 pounds to get rid of. But, the key to my success was Martinez. He made it very simple. Eating is the key (of course the right foods) and exercise. I'm not big on running and I thought that that made the difference. But, for me, walking, of course with the combination of exercise works wonders. I keep a diary of what I ate and did for each day and Martinez made sure to keep me on track. He personalizes the training to fit your personal goal, it's not cookie cutter training. It's made specifically for your lifestyle. Needless to say, I lost those 16 pounds. The trick is keeping it off. more

I have tried every diet out there with little to no results. Then I meet this guy Martinez at the Training Zone and the first thing he wants me to do is EAT ! Turns out trusting him was the best thing I could have ever done. I have been training with Martinez now for about 10 months and have lost 115 pounds. I got everything that a person in my position needed. Which is a great teacher,great facilities and last but not least a great support system. I will never be able to thank him enough for what he has given me ( a new start ) I would recomend Martinez and The Training Zone to any and all who belive it to be Impossible to lose weight and not be miserable doing it. Pros: The Pefect gym Cons: Not meeting Martinez Sooner more
