February 06 · Veronica RamosThe Dojo is great! Their classes are geared to be challenging but Dom provides expert support on how to perform the exercises the right way. The crew there is awesome and great intimate classes with plenty of weights and equipment to make every class different. They also provide the added benefit of having other health services onsite to give you a holistic experience if needed.
February 26 · Jason SerinoI’ve been working out with Dom at The Performance Dojo for over two years now and am in the best shape of my life! Dom develops functional workouts that help improve both strength and endurance and he motivates you throughout the workout to ensure you get the most out of every rep. Highly recommend!
February 06 · Justin FosterIf you are looking for a workout that offers a lot of variety, increases your potential and prevents injury, this is where it’s at. It clicked for me the moment I noticed that each session begins with stretching and foam rolling—a practice I previously struggled to commit time to. The program blends weightlifting, abdominal exercises, and cardio into a single, hour-long session. I’ve never felt stronger! What truly sets this gym apart is its uplifting atmosphere. Dom, our exceptional trainer, strikes the perfect balance between pushing us hard and maintaining a motivational, encouraging vibe!
February 06 · Jen SerinoStill loving it! I've been coming to the Dojo for 2 years now which probably makes this the longest I've ever exercised consistently. Dom and Dr. Myers have put together a great program which keeps it fun while doing some serious strength building. My daughter joined about a year ago and my wife started a few weeks back. They got jealous with how good of shape I am getting in.
