My husband and I were referred to Paulo Andalaft, owner of Fit Factor for personal training by a friend. Paulo met with us and did an assessment assigning Derek Carter to work with us. Derek is reliable, experienced and knowledgeable. We train twice a week for an hour each session. We have gained energy and feel better and stronger. It has made such a positive difference in our lives. We spend summers in North Carolina and miss Paulo and Derek. The weekly newsletters are very helpful and the recipes we have tried are delicious. Many thanks for the personal and caring way you teach and work with your clients to improve each time we train. Your facility is always clean and organized making it a pleasure to visit.
Thank you.

Fit Factor is a gem of a gym. I attended their small group classes for a few years and they were great. The classes are so small that you truly get the personal trainer experience, and all their trainers (RΓ©my, Paulo, Tina) are absolutely wonderful, caring and knowledgeable. In addition, their Functional Training method is perfect for older adults (like me): challenging, safe and fun. I cannot recommend them enough!

The training I have had at Fit Factor is definitely the best I have ever had. It started with an assessment of my strengths and weaknesses; moved on to a discussion of the Fit Factor philosophy of training; and now twice weekly sessions (in person and virtual) that assist me to achieve both my athletic goals and graceful aging. Each workout is new, challenging and interesting! It is great being trained by people who care!

I have become stronger and more fit since working out with the "Small group Workouts". The studio and the trainers (Paulo and Tina) are awesome. There are other trainers that I don't personally use but they too are the same - kind, caring and personally invested in your health and well-being. Come join the small group workouts and find a healthier and fit you!

At 62, I have been a lifetime weightlifter. After recently getting 2 new knees a year apart and back surgery in addition to a long history of injuries, surgeries and health issues and beating my body up, I needed rehab. In Paulo at Fit Factor I found someone with the proper techniques, knowledge, kindness, empathy, compassion and encouragement to get back in the gym. The support to get back to moving properly but safely has been invaluable. I highly recommend Fit Factor. They are the best!

The key to fitness is having self discipline along with a trainer who serves your best interests. Paulo and his team have enabled me to be in better shape than I was 30 years ago. They truly care about their clients well being and bring the most cutting edge knowledge to the workout studio. Whether itβs 1:1, small group or a beach workout, you are guaranteed to get your fitness back!

Happy, wonderful, fun, professional training center that even offers chiropractic adjustments! I have trained at Fit Factor for about one and a half years. I love coming and gain so very much after each session. I turned 90 in May. Iβm conditioned and so much better in the year and a half with them! The trainers are trained and CERTIFIED to work with our individual body mechanics, especially for us older generation. It sure works for me. I am pushed in a way that my old body can perform and get stronger. Iβve made great advances. I canβt sing their praises more highly. Iβm thrilled I found them

Before starting at Fit Factor 12 years ago, I never imagined I would look forward to my workout. The reason is a knowledgeable staff, a great facility, and the leadership of Paulo. I am able to keep active into my late 70βs because of Fit Factor experience.

Iβve done a couple of classes with Paulo and he is an incredible source of knowledge. Every single exercise is functional and translates into everyday movement rather than doing mindless reps at a conventional gym that may build muscles that look nice but donβt necessarily optimize a healthy body. I have several old injuries that I was given modifications for which was a concern for me going in. Even in the small group classes, I felt like I got the individual recommendations I needed. They are 100% experts in their field.

What a great gym and trainers. Paulo is the most knowledgeable trainer that I know, especially working with older adults. Their expansion is beautiful and the location is perfect. Highly recommend for both 1-1 training and group training.

The best. Without question. I met Paulo and his team in my late 40's after having to stop working out and being active with nine herniated discs and was told I'd need to go on pain killers and have epidural back treatments for the rest of my life. I didn't want that and wanted to find a healthy way back. Fit Factor was the answer. I worked with Paulo, the owner of FFT, as he too was a back pain sufferer. What I found unique about Fit Factor (and why I'm an advocate) was aside from all the trainers being certified, they actually designed programs around my specific needs. Other trainers I've worked with it was like a production line, whatever they did with the person before, was my workout too. I no longer need pain meds, or epidurals, I just need Fit Factor.
But then I started having issues with my hip, and sure enough, I had to have hip replacement (in my 50's!). I turned to Paulo and his team for their Pre-Rehabilitation program. Fit Factor focused in on areas to strengthen my body as the surgery would set me back, and by building up my muscles and strength before surgery, well, just as the surgeon and the Physical Therapy facility! I was released earlier than ANY PATIENCE they have ever had because of Fit factor. More to the point, not only was I done with "PT" in 4 weeks, but my life had completely returned to (better than) normal! Thank you for giving me my mobility back Fit Factor!
Fit Factor is unique, very exclusive feeling (even with the small classes) and completely focused on individual results. Yours! I cannot say enough good things about Fit Factor Training other than sign up when you can. They don't take a lot of clients on and during season there can be a wait list!

Great personalized fitness service. If you want a long term plan for your health and fitness this is the place for you. They have individual training, group classes and donβt miss the group class at the beach on the weekend. Paulo and Reme are both fanatic as is the rest of the team. They also do virtual classes.

Very knowledgable trainers who really motivate you to reach your individual fitness goals. Environment is friendly and clean, not intimidating like some gyms. I have been working out there with Paulo for over a year now and have learned so much, especially about using proper form, working out to enhance my sports ability as well as functional activities, and eating for success. I have had a lot of trainers in the past and Paulo is by far the best.

Wow, so Gary is right about the unprofessionalism. I am actually so shocked right now. Fit Factor has been like a home to me and I have spent over $13,000 dollars there in the last year. And based on Paulo treated their long-standing clients well the saying is true "With friends like these you don't need enemies." I can't imagine how they will treat their new clients. Apparently the two owners got a business divorce. Despite the fact that they knew they were doing this they still allowed people to pay for 20 sessions packages knowing that the trainer leaving would be gone before the sessions expired. Since I recently got a new job and the hours are long I asked Paulo to refund the 8 sessions I had left and he told me verbatim that the reason he wasn't refunding me is that it wasn't his fault I had a personal change in my life. In other words, getting a job to help support my family isn't considered as big of a priority of working out at Fit Factor. The truth is that he only has $660 dollars of my money but the money isn't the point it is the principle. It is true what they say that is cheaper to retain your old customers than to retain new ones any business professional will tell you it costs five times as much to acquire new customers. What it costs him to not refund my money will actually cost him more in the end cause it is true what they say it takes a lifetime to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. I really liked Paulo before but the way he has handled this whole thing has been unethical and unprofessional. The trainers there are still great and despite what Gary said about them not lasting they have been there for 12 years;however, to screw over your regular clients takes a lot of balls. I hired jimmy not fit factor and just like my package wasn't transferable to some other random person to go to my sessions with jimmy it shouldn't be transferable for me just to go to another trainer especially after they rolled out this three tiered packages where jimmy and Paulo were one price and other trainers another. If you come to see me as an attorney where I am the owner of the firm I don't send you to my associate lawyer or my paralegal and then bill you at the same rates. Truth is had he just done what is right I prob would have come back in a few weeks after I had worked out my hours and acclimated to the job. But instead I have a very sour tasted in my mouth and a very different opinion of fit factor. I thought doing business in Fort Lauderdale would be different than doing business in South Beach. This is really unfortunate because the gym is clean, the trainers are good but what trumps everything is always how you are treated as a human being. And it is clear that when Paulo discussed "minimizing the impact" on us in his valued client email he sent to everyone what he really meant was minimizing the impact of decreased revenues on fit factor. Its really too bad and it makes me wonder if that is why the other trainer left.

I have been working out at Fit Factor for close to 2 years and I absolutely love it, I'm hooked! The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and educated on body physiology, exercise, and nutrition. They take time to listen to your fitness goals, help you achieve them, then set new ones! I really like that there are people of all ages and abilities working out together and I think that's a great testament to the team.
I have trained with both Paulo and Gus, practiced yoga with Jimmy, and completed the 170 mile Smart Ride with Lee. It is truly an inspiring, friendly, and fun atmosphere to work out in and there is no better investment than your health.

If you are new to the area, like I was or have been here for years and maybe you don't know where to go, Fit Factor feels like home as soon as you walk in. Hands on personal training with trainers that take much pride in what they do and pay 100% attention to what your personal goals are. They have a clean facility with great equipment and trainers that are up to date with all training practices and trends.
Jimmy, Paulo, Danny, Guss and all others are fantastic people that will soon become apart of your extended family! I highly recommend checking them out!

I canβt say enough about Fit Factor. Paulo and Jimmy have created a really great environment for training. Fit Factor is an intimate environment (thatβs well laid out and utilizes the key equipment of much larger gyms) with total focus and attention on each individual client.
The trainers are friendly and knowledgeable and create programs for each client, based on their goals.
I have been training with Jimmy for 2 months I am amazed at my progress and the results already. Jimmy switches it up at every session so the workouts never get boring. He is very motivating and constantly pushes me each week.
I would highly recommend Fit Factor to anyone that wants to improve their fitness.

When I first moved to Fort Lauderdale I wasn't really sure where I should work out to keep up my training and fitness. One of the guys from the crew team at my school recommended Fit Factor and I can honestly say it has been one of the greatest choices I have made for my health. Whether it is coming back from an injury or intense mid-season training, Jimmy, Paulo, and the rest of the Fit Factor trainers will find a way to make you excel.

I can't say enough to describe the professional leval of training with a combination of over 20 years experience between Jimmie and Paulo. Workouts are challanging and diversified. You get the push you need without ever the risk of injury, just quality training. The combination of core, strength and form exceed any past training I've experienced. I highly recommend these guys, clean gym, state of art equipment without reserve. Worth every penny!

Fit Factor offers personalized fitness training in a comfortable environment. Jimmy and Paolo truly take you through a very customized routine that is well thought out and prepared for you to achieve your goals. They never give you the same exercises so your workouts are not boring and predictable. They really emphasize engaging your core as much as possible. Your core becomes stronger and your abdominals become more defined while working out the rest of your body. Jimmy is also a yoga instructor and has taught me poses I never thought I could do (including handstands!). It is a great companion to weight-training and will definitely change your body for the better. Forget the big, loud gyms with barely qualified "personal trainers" who will probably do you more harm than good. Fit Factor will exceed your expectations.

The whole gym experience at Fit Factor is fun, professional and a very positive atmosphere. Workouts are so different and unique. The core and stability exercises are amazing and really help with day to day life. Workouts are catered towards your needs and include cardio, which really makes for an intense workout. In addition to the workouts, proper stretching is incorporated after the workout that help in your muscle recovery.
Training at Fit Factor is the best thing I have done for myself and my life.
Thanks Jimmy & Paulo

My husband and I have been working out with Jimmy at the Fit Factor for a little over a month. The personal approach and program is what I have appreciated the most. It was created with our needs and personal goals in mind and we have seen noticeable differences in this short period of time. This is a different experience than you will get at the big gyms. Jimmy not only makes each session different and challenging but he is right on top of you to make sure your form is perfect so as to prevent injury during your workout. As a physical therapist this made a big difference in the trainer I wanted to commit to.
