Barbara von SchreiberTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Barbara von Schreiber Mon, Jul 28, 11:23 PM (10 hours ago) to me The fitness instructors at Active Health are truly incredible! Their Basic Fitness classes and private sessions are not only effective but genuinely fun. They’re experienced, dedicated, and endlessly supportive—making every workout feel empowering and uplifting. I always leave feeling stronger and more energized. Thank you, Active Health! Mindy UtayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been a client of Active Health for several years. The dedication. and expertise of the trainers has kept me on track and I've seen great results. Highly recommend for all workout types and levels of fitness. monica herringtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ll admit I wasn’t sure if this would be my thing. I like working out on my own - and did pretty ok with that. But this team is great, knowledgeable and creative…they know exactly when and how to push you (and keep the mood light and fun). I certainly get more out of this than my own basement workouts😝. See you there! Cathy MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The whole crew at Active Health have been so supportive of my wellness journey. They demonstrate just the right combination of skilled listening, expertise, and playfulness. Michael BurchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Active Health is absolutely worth joining. The nutritionist, trainers, and staff are professional, accommodating, enthusiastic, and very qualified. The New Milford gym is perfectly located, clean, and welcoming. I’m losing weight, gaining muscle, and meeting others in group classes. I wholeheartedly recommend joining Active Health. William LemoineTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great work out trainers and doctors !!! I’m already feeling stronger and healthier Very professional and caring to listen to your strengths and weaknesses and always available to help Thanks everyone sheila condonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience at Active Health has been fantastic! I started 2 months ago and I can already feel that my core is stronger thanks to Mara! Ellen O'MearaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joining Altorelli Health is a win-win on a number of levels. You get very personal health care that is not governed by a stop watch combined with expert exercise trainers and one-on-one health coaching by a board certified health coach. Each circuit exercise class, which changes every day, is designed and supervised by trained personal trainers who watch you to make sure you are doing the exercises properly and correct you when you're not, so you are getting the most out of the exercise while not causing any injury by doing it incorrectly. Free classes on various health topics are also provided. The all-in-one coordination between the personal health care provided by the doctors along with the trainers and health coach means that you can sculpt your own path and see real results. In the past six months I've lost 14 pounds and gained muscle. Detailed information about your progress is provided by their In Body machine which gives a detailed profile of your muscle strength per limb and the amount of body fat that needs to be lost. While the first one may be a shock (!) it's great to watch your progress as you move along. All in all, a great team. Adam SchoeppTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The instructors are great and super friendly and the program gives a great workout in a great atmosphere! Veronique Langlois KinseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing place with fantastic staff. Trainers are experienced, knowledgeable and will work with you to help you achieve your fitness goals.
