Lost significant weight and added muscle mass since I joined just a couple months ago. Coaching is great and system they have set up for semiprivates works effectively. Environment is welcoming, warm and professional. Very pleased with results so far and looking for more!

Truly excellent guidance, support and knowledge. The entire training staff coordinates in supporting the training regimen of each individual. The knowledge of the staff is exceptional. Train to Xcel and Loic were recommended to me by my golf pro, and that has been a blessing. In addition to the rapid improvement in flexibility and strength, Loic has led me to an understanding of the golf swing that years of lessons had never accomplished. I would recommend Train to Xcel in Ridgefield, CT as highly as possible.

After trying many gym options in Ridgefield, I thankfully found T2X… each person has a specific workout based on personal and or injury based needs. The groups are small so they are always watching / helping to make sure you are always on the right track with your workout. Very motivated and interactive staff always makes the workout that much better!

Train2Xcel is the best gym in Ridgefield hands down. Mark, Loic and the team are top-notch personal trainers who have spent years studying the science of training. If you want injury-free training at a welcoming facility, look no further!

Simply the best gym in the greater Ridgefield area. Loic and Mark - the two owners - and their exceptional trainers have created a superb personal training experience. The golf fitness programs designed by Loic have not only improved my game but most importantly the programs have greatly improved my strength, mobility, flexibility and overall health/fitness. I commute from northern Westchester twice per week and the 25 minute drive is a small and very worthwhile investment to be a part of the Train2Xcel community.

I have been a member at the Train2Xcel gym for a number of years, after trying several others in the area. The gym itself is superb, with excellent equipment and ample space. The personal trainers, Mark Bubeck in particular, are beyond compare. Knowledgeble, supportive and helpful in ways I’ve never seen. Attention along with cusomized programs for fitness make the place incomparable and worth any travel required. Absolutely worth the time and investment if genuine fitness, at any level is desired. I would recommend it to anyone, as they customize programs for every need.

First let me say that I am not a gym person. I hate going to the gym. But T2X is the best gym in Ridgefield, and I’ve tried many of them. The personal trainers at T2X designed a program for me that was very specific to my needs. They were patient and enthusiastic and made going fun. I still hate to exercise, but I’ve been going to T2X consistently for 5 years now and I’m stronger and more fit than ever. The fact that I’ve stuck with it is a testament to how great they are.

I trained at T2X for 6 years before moving away. One of the best decisions I ever made. Prior to joining my routines were erratic and my nutrition was very difficult. The personal trainers worked with me on a diet that helped me lose weight and gain muscle. The personalized training programs were a God send. They designed a routine that allowed me to achieve my goals and stay within the constraints of my work and personal life.

About a year before moving I set a goal to deadlift 405lb. A week after my 57th birthday mission accomplished. Best gym in Ridgefield and a fantastic, positive community to be a part of. Miss it greatly.

If you’re looking for the best gym in Ridgefield, check out Train2Xcel! By far, the most knowledgeable personal trainers I’ve worked with over many, many years. They’re all upbeat, positive, and customize every person’s exercise plan to help achieve individual fitness goals. A true sense of community among the trainers and clients is fostered! Treat yourself for 2025 and give them a call.

I started going to Train2xcel in September. It is by far the best gym in the area. I am so happy to be working with the private trainers here who are very knowledgeable and personable. I wanted and needed to do some kind of bone and core strengthening and in very short order I began to see a difference. One of the best parts of the experience is that I have total confidence in the workout routines that Loic has tailored for me. The trainers are very well aware of each individuals needs. Having back issues can make you tentative but not when I know the trainers have a full understanding of my limits and potential. I am so happy to have Train2xcel be a part of my weekly regime!

I’ve been training at Train2Xcel, and I can honestly say it’s been worth every drive from Westchester. Working with Loic and some of the other trainers has significantly improved my strength and golf game. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and always tailor the workouts to meet my specific needs. Their attention to detail and ability to design effective routines have made a noticeable difference in my performance. If you’re looking for a gym that genuinely understands your goals and helps you achieve them, Train2Xcel is the place to be!

I joined Train2Xcel at the end of January, and it has been an incredible experience so far. The trainers here are both knowledgeable and kind. The intake process with Mark was the most thorough and informative I've ever experienced, which really set the tone for the personalized attention I would receive.

The gym itself has a low-key environment, which made me feel comfortable right from the start. (especially since I hadn't done weight lifting in years)

Since joining, I’ve lost 20 pounds and I feel stronger!! Another highlight is that I get new workouts every eight sessions, keeping things fresh and challenging. I highly recommend Train2Xcel to anyone looking for a supportive and professional fitness environment!

Four years ago, I retired and my gym closed within a few months. I was looking for some structure as I knew working out was beneficial to my overall health, but I had been lacking the motivation to do so. I spent most of my workouts on cardiovascular training, ignoring the weight training. My weight constantly fluctuated, my strength as I got older was poor and my endurance was almost nonexistent. I responded to a 6-week trial at Train 2 Xcel, hoping this might be the answer I was looking for, it was!

The trainers were there to guide you. They take the time to know what you need, when to give that extra push, or realize that some days you might not be able to give 100%. They know how to motivate! It makes a big difference having a trainer work with you every session. I've had 2 surgeries during my four years here, and was able to return to the gym quicker, as they wrote up my workouts to help keep me moving and get back to where I was.

One thing I did not expect to happen there, was the friendships I have made. Getting to know other members, working out with them, whether it is a metabolic class, or a semiprivate lesson really helps me want to go to the gym. I look forward to being there. I never thought that I could say that working out can be fun, but it is here.

I'm 62, I take care of my 2-year-old grandson 2 days a week, I'm an avid golfer, and I enjoy walking. I can honestly say that if it wasn't for the staff at Train 2 Xcel, and they're knowledge and expertise, I would not be in truly the best shape of my life.

Before starting Train 2 Xcel I was experiencing lower back pain for over a year. As a college athlete, I was extremely frustrated being sidelined from the sport I love. After spending months going to multiple doctors and therapy, I discovered Train 2 Xcel. I immediately started to see improvements in my back pain as well as my overall strength. Not only am I completely pain-free, but have never felt more physically and mentally strong.
My confidence has increased in the weight room and I have seen significant improvement on the lacrosse field. I always dreaded the idea of going to the gym and working out, but now going to Train 2 Xcel is the best part of my day. The amazing and motivating staff makes each custom workout both challenging and enjoyable. Everyone at the gym has become a family to me, and my favorite part is seeing everyone’s smiling faces on early mornings. I highly recommend Train 2 Xcel as they helped me become the athlete I never thought I could be.

I train with Loic, but all the trainers at Train2 Xcel are amazing. Their knowledge of how the body works allows your workout to be customized to your specific needs (I have a bad lower back and I ride horses). They all continue their training themselves and just keep learning which I love.

Loic has got me to the point that I am a stronger rider and have more balance on the horse which is important. As someone who gets frustrated easily, you won't find a more caring and supportive team!!! I HIGHLY recommend Train 2 Xcel.

The only way a gym should be! The team at Train2XL are extremely professional and their knowledge is second to none. My only regret is that I wish I had signed up sooner. Safety is a top priority and their facility is squeaky clean. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a positive change in their lifestyle.

I am a huge fan of T2Xcel! The trainers are incredibly professional; they work tirelessly to personalize and continuously challenge each member’s fitness routine, and are committed to promoting a safe and inclusive community.

Although I have moved from the area, I have continued to work with T2Xcel via Zoom. I can’t imagine working with anyone else!

If you are serious about your fitness goals and are looking for a highly knowledgeable and committed accountability partner, I highly recommend T2Xcel!

This team of highly educated fitness professionals work with an array of clientele to meet them where they are at in a beautiful, clean, spacious modern facility. Staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. They are really helping me maintain a healthy balance as a dance instructor by eliminating some pain from some previous overuse injuries and postural habits. They provide lots of personal guidance and provide a safe environment for asking questions/learning.

I play professional tennis and I can undoubtedly say this is the best gym I’ve found in CT - and I have done a lot of searching over the years! These trainers are incredibly meticulous when it comes to proper technique. Bad form never slides with their eyes on you, which means they will save you from so many injuries while, of course, making you stronger. I have the utmost confidence in their methodology, and my livelihood depends on being strong and fit! If they weren’t absolutely AMAZING, I would not have attempted to guess my Google password 2000 times in order to write this review. This is a must for anyone who wants to get in shape the right way!

T2X is an awesome gym because of the Talented, Knowledgeable, Professional trainers/coaches. Not only do they know their "stuff", the trainers make it enjoyable yet challenging for me to workout. In addition, I had shoulder surgery in August and by end September I was back at T2X working out with a customize program for me to get me back to speed. Not only with my personalized program, I had a coach/trainer assisting me along my re-hab journey. You sign up for semi-private sessions and get a coach/trainer assigned to your group, yet you work on your own customized program based upon your own specific goals and needs. Also, T2X participates in community fund raisers. T2X is the place that everyone knows your name, celebrates your Birthday, and celebrates special workout achievements. They acknowledge your goals and achievements in a fun way. There is no other gym that comes close to what T2X offers its members. When you walk in you know you will be taken good care of with the trainer/coach assigned to you when you workout. Its a MUST place to join!

This is the perfectly sized gym for me. There is a ton of equipment and I've never had to wait to use something. Other members are really friendly - but not too friendly where you lose a half hour to an overly chatty person!

Training is excellent, each member has their own training program written specifically with any physical limitations in mind. I trust what they tell me!

If you are looking for weight training---whether a beginner or an expert--- in a fun environment--- look no further! The trainers at Train 2 Xcel are experts and care deeply about your goals, health, improvement and overall well-being. Added plus? They are fun to work with and keep you laughing! They do a formal assessment when you join and create a workout based on where you are starting from and your own personal goals. Each time you go, this workout is adjusted to keep you interested and improving. The gym is small, IMMACULATE, and equipped with the latest --- including weights better suited for a female grip. Love it here. Would not go anywhere else!

What an awesome gym! The trainers are knowledgeable and the members supportive. It’s like one big family. There is always a big hello when I walk in. I never liked this kind of training before I started working out here. They pinpointed my weaknesses immediately and developed a personal training program that actually works. I have gained strength and lost fat, which was my goal.

Prior to joining the Train 2 Xcel family, my gym experiences were uninspiring. From day one, I felt welcomed and cared for. My goal to gain health and strength has been a priority of the talented team of coaches who have created workouts specifically for me and my personal needs and limitations. Along with the exceptional guidance and professionalism, the semi personal training and metabolic classes are not only fun, but provide camaraderie and an encouraging community. I can't recommend them enough!

Great trainers who know their business. Semi-private training allows for professional development of your workout programs without the cost of one-on-one training. They do have one-on-one training as well and metabolic training classes to round out an excellent portfolio of programs. Best of all they keep it fun!

This is hands down the best place to train in the area! I used to be intimidated by the gym and weight equipment- gone are all those fears. They've managed to create a casual, fun and laid back approach to intense workouts. In the few months I have been working with the team, I have seen significant results that I haven't seen in years working with other trainers in town!

Immediately obvious is the exceptional space, layout and great equipment. But what makes Train 2 Xcel exceptional is the quality of the trainers and the philosophy behind the training. This isn't a place for ineffective and poorly designed self training with poor form, no theme, and consequently, no progress (but increased risk of injury). There's is a philosophy of guided, evidence based training, under appropriate supervision, that builds strength, endurance and flexibility. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable, and are constantly refreshing that knowledge through learning. They design training programs tailored to the clients interests and needs.
So I recommend signing up, with an understanding that though this may be a bit more expensive than the " jump on a treadmill and push silly machine gym", it's worth every penny. You'll enjoy it and you'll definitely benefit from the investment.

Mark, Ari and Loic have combined their vast fitness knowledge and created the perfect fitness center.
I love their state of the art equipment and the fact that they stay on top of the newest trends in the industry and even ask for our input on any way for them to improve.
The atmosphere is light and friendly but they work you hard while helping you reach your personal goals. Seeing clients pulling for each other is the norm at Train 2 Xcel and just another reason this place is so special.
I had recent meniscus surgery. The trainers referred me to the top surgeons and physical therapists in the area and during my rehab checked in weekly to track my progress even going to the effort of speaking to the physical therapist on my behalf, all the while coming up with modifications of exercises to keep me active. There is no doubt in my mind that through their efforts, I was able to get back to full mobility and strength in record time. Their level of personal attention far exceeds any reasonable expectations!!
We are extremely lucky that these guys have chosen a home in Ridgefield to open this exemplary training facility. Come see for yourself!!!

Train 2 Xcel is an amazing new gym in town. The space is bright and cheery, with an amazing assortment of equipment. The moment you walk in the door you feel the energy and excitement from the trainers and other members. I really love the semi-private training, since not only do you get the expertise of one of the trainers you feel as though you are part of a team. The positive attitude here is very contagious.
