FreeStyle is not just a gym, its a family!!! Shawn and Gina are incredibly in tune with every single person that works with them. Their approach is innovative, progressive and inspiring. Im a personal trainer/coach myself, however, Im still an athlete. I still want to be pushed out of my comfort zone and continue to grow. I couldnt recommend them more!!!

Freestyle Fitness is a life changing exercise studio. It is definitely the best in the capital region!! Unlike no other, Freestyle Fitness offers the most innovative, diverse and challenging classes. The trainers are incredibly motivating and inspiring. They provide the best instruction for all levels from personal training to large group classes. They never disappoint!!!

What a gem! Ive belonged to numerous gyms in various states, and rank Freestyle as the best. No two classes are alike. Theyre brief and intense. Instructors challenge you. And at the same time are very personable and sensitive to any limitations.Its rare to find such a great team of instructors in one place. Ginas talent for creating a supportive and motivational environment really makes Freestyle special.Since I joined in January, Ive lost 1-1/2 lb. of body fat. And my resting heart rate has improved 18%. Thats a big deal.

The environment is wonderful. The gym is made because of the energy of the owner Gina! She is literally the type of person everyone needs to have in their lives. Knowledgeable and energetic to say the least. The music too! Always on point!!!!!

Freestyle Fitness Center is truly an amazing gym. It is filled with trainers who care about each and every one of their clients. Each trainer knows you on a personal level, and will meet your personal needs. Nothing is looked at as a limitation. Shoulder issue? No problem, they will create an exercise that you can do and that is fit for your body. This is a gym that does not follow the one size fits all mentality. Everyone is unique and has individual goals, which will be met at freestyle. Furthermore, EVERY class is unique and never repeated. I have never been to a class where I am bored. They are constantly changing things to keep your body guessing and fit. The classes are filled with energy, both from the clients and trainers. If you are looking for a place where you will be supported and surrounded by people who truly care about you.....freestyle is the place to be.

I love this gym. I had been looking for a place where I could get FABULOUS, unique workouts, where I would not be bored, and where trainers really care about total health and well being. Freestyle is that place. I had quiet goals that I wanted to achieve and the trainers paid attention, met with me personally, and listened. I feel great, have made great friends, and am happy to go to classes. Every time. Gina and Shawn are incredibly knowledgeable and they are always trying new things. More importantly, they seem to have tremendous fun in their work. Get here. You will be more fit, happy, and you will make friends who care as much about your accomplishments as you do.

I am so grateful to have found this gym. I am challenged beyond my imagination each and every time I go. The classes are innovative and challenging, and the trainers are knowledgeable. Safety and health are number 1 and I am always given modifications as I gain my strength back after baby. Definitely the best gym Ive ever been to.

FreeStyle Fitness is an amazing gym. There is a lot of very interesting and effective fitness classes happening here. The trainers are all fantastic and they know your name ... and even more importantly, your strengths and limitations. I’ve been coming for a few years and notice a significant improvement in my strength and endurance. You need to give it a try. I gave it a try and never left! 🏋️‍♀️

What makes freestyle so special is the trainers. This fitness center gives such personal attention and has such positive energy. I have been there only one month and I feel so comfortable and welcome. Aside from the atmosphere, the work outs are challenging, creative and attention to form is incredible. These trainers know their stuff.

Freestyle is my favorite venue for personal training and fitness classes. Shawn, Gina and the other trainers are are outstanding in every way. The training is different and challenging every time. Freestyle offers a comfortable relaxed atmosphere that the larger gyms cannot match.

I absolutely love this gym! All of the trainers are always there to help with any question, and they motivate everyone to do their best. The classes are also smaller, so everyone gets to know everyone, and it also allows the trainers to take the time to know everyones strengths and weaknesses. Im so glad I decided to come here!

When you commit to fitness as a lifestyle finding the right gym is like finding a second home. There are the basic factors- proximity, price, and hours and then there are the meaningful ones- community, varied offerings, education, engagement, goal setting, personalized attention, progression, etc.I cant say enough about the research, passion, and practice everyone who runs and is employed by this gym puts in. (And how many people are going to read this whole review anyway?). I have been taking classes and trying out gyms throughout the Capital Region for the last ten years, and studied personal training for awhile myself. There are plenty of options in our area, and unfortunately several of them miss the mark on building something special and worthwhile.From the varying class offerings, to the manner in which they are taught, the friendliness and supportive nature of the staff (and other members), responsiveness and attentiveness to injury, plus class offerings on nutrition, and life balance this gym has everything I had been seeking and even more than I had hoped to find. I wanted to be somewhere I felt like a PERSON and not a PROFIT. Thank you all for building something great and improving on it every single day.

The place to go! Ive learned more from Shawn and Gina in the last year than I every thought, they have completely altered my lifestyle in a very positive way! Everyone their is super kind and helpful, never once did I feel out of place. The Trainers their care about each individual person and will take the time to help if need be no matter what.

100% the greatest fitness trend to hit the Capital District. Being able to achieve everything fitness related from Yoga, Personal Training, Barré, Bootcamps, Group Training, and the amazing Ultimate Fusion 50. Also some very unique classes and different ways of mixing all the amazing trends of fitness in a beautifully designed studio. Putting the personal back into personal training and being able to experience a more personable interaction with each employee there.Enjoy some fresh farm to table organic meals from 9 Miles East and many other local small business offerings. Keeping the community together here at Freestyle Fitness & Yoga Center.

This place is amazing!!! Whatever your fitness needs are, they can meet them. Ultimate Fusion 50 classes are always challenging, forcing you to step outside of your comfort zone and take it to the next level. Bootcamps are energetic and fast paced-you work with weights that youre comfortable handling and can progress at whatever speed youd like. Shawn, the instructor is always willing to help out with form and pushes you without being pushy. Gina, who leads many of the Ultimate Fusion and Freestyle Series classes provides an upbeat and intense workout. Shes a ton of fun to be around, and makes you forget that youre there busting you a**. Ive gotten to take a yoga class with Rebecca as well and even though Ive taken yoga before, I learned a lot from her and even accomplished a few new things-all in one class! I cant say enough good things about this place-if you havent tried it out yet-what are you waiting for???

I have been going to Freestyle for a few weeks now for various different classes and I could not speak more highly of a studio.All of the instructors are knowledgable and challenging.The studio offers a wide variety of classes from personal training sessions to bootcamp, to HIIT style classes, pilates reformers and yoga!There is literally a class for every type of person and every type of exercise.They offer a ton of great class time options too.

Great Place. The classes are intimate, the workouts and routines are different every session, and Shaun does a VERY good job of planning out a session (sometimes on the fly). Ive had sessions where boxing is mixed with kettle bells, and resistance bands; others where weve done weight training, mixed with cardio/ plyo, mixed with corssfit type movements. Most of the movements are relatively simple, but the co-mingling of them makes the actual workout itself complex. Ive been going weekly for 5-6 months and I cant say that weve ever done the same thing.The other plus is that every workout is scaleable so any fitness level is welcomed. Come check it out.
