Coach Joe is the best, super knowledgeable especially for people like me who's job has put strain and pain in certain areas. Now I no longer feel the pain I used to and can left even more. He cares. He cares A LOT. If you ever wondered if having a trainer is worth it, it is. Even for a seasoned gym rat like me.

I am so happy that I found this local gym to get back into working out. Joe, the trainer and manager is highly knowledgeable and because the classes are small, he is able to give each participant individual attention and coaching, personally adjusting workouts if necessary. I also love the community feel and support that members give each other.

I been going to engage west Chester for over a year. I started out as a beginner and have grown so much thanks to coach joe. He is the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. Such a great personality, always ready to motivate everyone. I love how they take the guess work out of what to do in the gym. They provide you with the program and weights. Joe is excellent at showing proper form and closely watches so you’re not injuring yourself. It’s a well rounded program and you’re definitely going to feel like you worked out after.
This is the longest I’ve kept with any gym or personal training because I genuinely enjoy it. Thank you to everyone at Engage

I recently started going to Engage, and following Joe’s workout plans. Joe has helped me learn so much about proper form, technique, and the science behind different workouts, it instills confidence that you’re going in the right direction. Additionally, the community that Joe has built is very welcoming to all kinds of people at different levels of fitness and you really get an encouraging and supportive community feel.

I reached out to Coach Joe at Engage in late Fall 2024 because I was interested in feeling better about myself, as well as increasing my strength and stamina. Fast forward 4.5 months later and I am stronger than I have ever been. I feel more confident in my abilities and fitness level and look forward to my future progress. Good people attract good people and that is evident in the encouraging atmosphere during workouts. I highly recommend working with Joe and the community of people who have come to Engage!
ETA to update that I have been a member of Engage for a year now. I have lost weight, grown stronger, been supported following a traumatic loss, and am working through an outside of the gym injury. I’m immensely grateful for Coach Joe and the Engage community!

Engage Personal Training in West Chester is a wonderful gym! My husband trains there and has seen amazing results in a short amount of time. Joe, the lead trainer, also hosted the West Chester Moms Club for a small group workout, and we were really impressed. His dog Maverick hangs out at the gym, and everyone loves him! Maverick makes everyone feel at home. It's a lovely gym where complete beginners can feel welcome and safe!

Engage West Chester is such a welcoming place. From day one the coach made me feel comfortable and confident, no matter my starting point. The workouts are personalized so you never feel like just another number, and the coach is always there to guide and support you.
The community is one of the best parts. Everyone is encouraging and friendly, and it truly feels like being part of a team. You get the personal attention of training without the intimidating cost of a one-on-one trainer. The value is incredible and the results speak for themselves.
If you are looking for a gym that combines personal coaching, a great community, and an approach that actually works, Engage West Chester is the place.

I had the privilege of having Joe Timm as my trainer iin PRT exercise program.
In the one year + duration, Joe directed a small group of members in a very organized manner that demonstrates detailed exercises that were varied to maintain my interest and included fun activities while improved my strength and flexibility.
Joe stood out as very personable, focusing on each members strengths in an atmosphere that was positive and pleasurable.
He stands out as an exceptional trainer.

The very first thing I'll say is that Coach Joe is someone who actually cares about you. He takes time to teach proper form and encourages when he knows your ready to move up. In addition, he's also just a great guy and wants to know you as a person. The community is also very friendly and encouraging.

Engage Personal Training West Chester is a great gym in a local area with amazing coaches. Prior to starting at Engage, fitness was not a priority for me, but through the program and with the help of the coaches at Engage I have a new found love for health and fitness. Within my first two months at Engage I was able to lost almost 20 pounds and became much stronger (almost doubling the amount of weight I was lifting). The workouts are well structured and enjoyable. The community and members at the gym are all encouraging as well. If you are looking for a new gym or to start your fitness journey I would HIGHLY recommend Engage West Chester!

When I joined Engage six months ago, I was struggling—my balance was off, and I was seriously out of shape. Even climbing a single flight of stairs felt like a challenge. But today, I'm stronger, steadier, and I walk up to my third-floor office without even thinking about the elevator.
So much of that progress is thanks to Joe. His patience, kindness, and genuine care for the whole person make all the difference. He’s built a space where everyone lifts each other up. The support among members is real, and it inspires me every day to keep pushing forward and be my best.

Have very much benefited from Joe and using Engage Personal Training. Joe provides great direction. I am a former college tennis player and have played competitively my whole life, currently with USTA league. Starting dealing with injuries and weakness once in my 40s. Years of PT and injection shots never benefited me quite like 4 months of strength training. I’m noticing a huge difference in my tennis game thanks to the strength training. And am dealing with less injuries. I am very happy I found Joe and Engage!

After a significant back injury and months of physical therapy, I was finally ready to return to the gym. Since my back injury happened at a previous gym, I was a bit nervous. My physical therapist recommended Joe at Engage, and from our very first meeting, I felt a difference. Joe took the time to really listen to my fears and background. We started slow, and Joe reassured me every step of the way. Seven months later, I still occasionally ask for that reassurance, and Joe continues to show up with encouragement, challenges, and a focus on safety. On top of that, I really enjoy the variety in the workouts and the camaraderie among the members. It makes showing up something I really look forward to!

The slogan for the gym says it all, “A little gym with a big heart”. It’s a small gym, with a wonderful community of people no matter the time of the group session. Facility is clean and prices are extremely reasonable, much better than any large chain. The groups workouts are challenging, but so rewarding. The personal trainer, Joe, is fantastic. He’s truly someone who cares about your health and fitness goals. Joe will make time during the sessions to insure everyone is doing proper form and correct it as needed and you truly feel like you’re having a one on one experience but with benefit of getting to know other people who will help encourage you and challenge you. So if you’re looking for a change, give this gym/trainer a shot.

Perfect gym for anyone looking to get healthy. Small class sizes at reasonable rates gives you that personal trainer touch at a portion of the price.
