Avatar Private Training Studio

Having been a client for close to two years I can testify to the skill and ability for all the staff at Avatar. Having obtained my initial weight loss goals 14 months age (lost 56 lbs- yeah!) Eric is constantly guiding me into a better and more active lifestyle. Eric is a valuable guide and an ever present coach, cheering and leading me into activities and movements I thought impossible at my age. My knees feel better and my body feels decades younger. Thanks! Pros: knowledgeable, beautiful setting, un-crowded Cons: training is expensive more

Eric Hall is the owner/trainer at Avatar Private Training Studio. The first time I met him I was somewhat resistant as I was in my 50's, out of shape, had had knee surgery and other problems. Eric immediately put me at ease and explained how we could work out while addressing various problem areas. He is extremely knowledgeable and creative in his programs. And you get his complete attention for an hour while you work out. I highly recommend him! Pros: good parking, no lines at machines, individualized Cons: expect to sweat more

If you thought that finding your dream training studio with great professionals and a cool atmosphere was impossible it is just because you havent seen Avatar. From the lighting to the decor, the best equipment and music, great location and welcoming ambiance plus the quality and experience of each trainer make this spot my favorite in town. I come from Buenos Aires, Argentina and it took me 4 years to find a training studio that really fits my expectations and actually exceed them. Nothing in the Twin Cities is like it! I dont fell like working out is something boring and tedious. I feel motivated to go to Avatar. Everything about it is just perfect. It feels it been created just for me! And it is oriented to all of you that think outside the box! Pros: Ambiance, Personal Atention, Location more

Avatar was just what i was looking for: intense, one on one workout with an intelligent trainer that motivates me. Eric Hall stays right with me throughout, correcting my form and pushing me to do a little bit more. Hall has a high level of expertise in all areas of fitness and wellness, so each session is a learning experience, too. more

If you want the most successful personal training results with a coach who is probably the ONLY TRAINER grounded in the field of MEDICINE (yes, MEDICINE!) in the Twin Cities, see Eric Hall of Avatar Training. I have seen incredible results. What's even better--you are Eric's SOLE client during your one-hour session in his 2-story, private loft-style studio in a gorgeous hi-tech environment where you even select your music pumped through the entire workout area! No other clients are there when you are being trained. It's all at the same price (or less) than you would pay for a trainer in a public setting. I was so sold that I even offered to pay for my first comlimentary session. He refused! And what a nice person Eric is on top of all this? What a joy it is to work out with him. And what results!!! Outstanding!!! Pros: Grounded in MEDICINE, Cool, private studio, Incredible results more

I've tried many different gyms and trainers but I wasn't satisified with their services. When I started at Avatar I was impressed by Eric's care and attention to my medical and personal needs. Definitely try out this gym, you won't be disappointed! Pros: Quiet, Personal attention, good 4 rehab more

Avatar personal training studio offers top-notch service and knowledge. Having worked with many personal trainers in the past, I have never encountered a personal trainer with the knowledge that Eric Hall has. He understands the human body, how it moves, and that every person is unique in their needs. After working with Eric for a short time, I saw my body reach a level of fitness that I had almost come to accept was no longer possible. more

Incredible knowledge and skill, great staff, wonderful atmoshpere. I started going to Avatar nearly 2 years ago and despite not having a disposable income, I have no plans to quit. I also had numerous injuries to contend with, and Eric Hall's skill, knowledge and personal desire to see me improve has made it all worthwhile. Can't imagine going to anyone else. Pros: Private, not crowded Cons: a bit pricey more

This Personal Training System works! Best session that I have ever had! Pros: on YOUR schedule more

Personal attention with weight training and cardio customized specifically for my needs and ideal body shape. It is fun, effective, and worth every minute spent with my trainer. more

I have been using Avatar for personal training for about 9 months & am very pleased with the results, both in weight loss & conditioning. They are extremely flexible to work within your busy schedule. I also love the private studio atmosphere where you & your trainer are the only ones in the facility. Pros: Convenient, Private, Results more

I have used many personal trainers at several clubs throughout the years and have never seen results like this with less effort. Eric, the owner, really knows what he is doing and I would recommend him to anyone at any fitness level. The massage therapist, Will, is also excellent. I use him for deep tissue and get better results than ever before.....granted it is a painful but rewarding experience. I am sure he can do the fluff too....I will never use anyone else for either service! The results of each service outweigh any costs. Pros: staightforward, easy parking, exceptional service more

Avatar offers all the equipment and services you need in an atmosphere that is like working out in your own personal studio with your friends. Super convenient for downtown workers and residents and worth the trip if you aren't usually downtown. Offers trainers, massage, yoga and other services and programs. Always clean, modern equipment and amenities, a Yoga & massage studio - and great music. Chad's my trainer - he's awesome! Eric and Bridget are great fun and always have a positive word for you. If you're looking for serious, personally tailored workouts surrounded by energetic and friendly professionals - this is the place and these are the people. Pros: Modern equipiment, Convenient Location, Personal Attention more
