Xcel Fitness Reviews
all work no non sense just up my alley
July 22 · David LeyvaNice and cool with a staff of knowledgeable independent trainers. My wife has been going there for five plus years to meet with Annette who is an excellent trainer for women, men and older people and she organizes wonderful and popular boot camps around Thanksgiving. They in recent months added a professional and what appears to be is an excellent MMA fighter trainer. His students are wiry, look tough but are very polite students serious at becoming good MMA Fighters themselves. They also have a good male trainer a big man who from observation and talking to my wife's trainer Annette, he teaches good technique and is able to lift impressive loads of heavy weights!Did two sessions with Annette for sore hips. Last new chiropractor couldn't adjust properly and I hurt for several days after that.. Subsequently,stopped seeing chiropractors. Previous chiropractor was great but retired. Annette did a shared session with my wife and did stretch and stretch exercises on specialized machine. The finished up showing how to "foam roll" soreness away. Pleased with results! Her knowledge and techniques had me walk away without hip chronic internal soreness I've for many months. She said after awhile we can get back to having chiropractic maintenance again. Worth looking into working with Annette for training induced injuries perhaps from boot camp workouts or maybe Cross Training exercises as well as foundationally solid strengthening and physical maintenance training.Update 2022 September. Walking and standing better. Pain gone in hip muscles knowing how better to anchor my torso, angle and place the inside of my foot. Making myself aware of structural adjustments avoids frequency of chiropractic adjustments sessions.Xcel still has great trainers. The nicest update is their window displays now announce what they do.
December 06 · Warren HooSuper nice staff, classes and personal training. My trainer kicks ass!
May 31 · Sarah RodriguezFully equipped and clean gym. Trainers are highly knowledgeable and friendly!
