Sunshine is the most warm & welcoming gym i’ve ever been to (as well as Sunshine herself). From the moment you step in, someone at the cafe is there to greet you with a smile. I’m a newbie when it comes the gym so it’s so awesome that they offer open gym upstairs & exercise classes.

I am so incredibly thankful for this studio and the amazing community of support it offers. My experiences at this studio and the connections I have made has truly been life changing. This studio is not only an anchor for my physical health and well-being but also my emotional and mental. I love Sunshine, her staff, and the environment she has created. I’m so honored and blessed to be a part of this community! 🫶

I have nothing but great things to say about Sunshine’s! I have a fitness membership. The gym upstairs is so new and well thought out. I also take classes a few times a week. I love the team of trainers and everything they bring to the atmosphere and my wellness. I also go to the cafe regularly, for lotus energy refreshers or protein shakes. Sunshine makes all of the food herself with healthy and fresh ingredients. If you haven’t stopped by, please do!

I have been going to Sunshine’s now for over 2 years and I don’t know why I waited so long. Wide range of classes offered 7 days a week and the best instructors around. As soon as you walk in you’re treated like family. You can’t go wrong with personal training either. Andrea makes any class or training session not only push you but fun at the same time. You look forward to literally working your butt off. I don’t know what I would do without Sunshine’s.

The energy in the studio is so positive. I decided to take two classes here on a whim and I’m so glad I did. I’ve never been so excited to workout. The staff and instructors are incredibly welcoming. I highly recommend!

The ultimate workout facility! There is something for everyone, Zumba, Spin Bikes, and Workout stations. There are showers available. And just added a Fuel Fit Bar with all sorts of energy drinks and high protein food options. Had a Watermelon Mist energy drink, with an egg, cheese and sausage sandwich that was amazing! I will be going back for more!
Update had Butterfinger bites YUM! and a Mango 🥭 Passionfruit energy drinks. Both were awesome. Ok ok so.. I just tried a Blueberry Crumble smoothie, this is going to be my go to protein shake from here on out! Absolutely amazing! Just tried Green Enchilada Chicken soup, who know that a soup that's good for you could taste so good!

The best fitness classes in the state of Maine. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. Sunshine’s has quickly become my second home. My favorite class so far has been Zumba and Spin classes! Not to mention the Fit Fuel Club Cafe has been amazing. Before and after class. A peanut butter protein shake after spin class is the absolute BEST! ☀️❤️

You have fun while getting a great workout. The staff is amazing. It’s my home away from home. New friends, support and love. You’re only new once 💕🥰

Sunshine’s Fitness Studio is truly a gem! From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re greeted with warmth and positivity. The atmosphere is welcoming to everyone, no matter your fitness level, and the staff goes out of their way to make sure you feel supported and encouraged.

The space is always clean, bright, and well-organized—it’s clear they take pride in creating a comfortable and safe environment. I love that they offer both group classes and open gym access, so whether you’re in the mood for a guided workout or doing your own thing, you have options.

One of my favorite features is the on-site nutrition bar—such a convenient and thoughtful touch! Whether it’s a post-workout smoothie or a healthy snack, it’s great to have that available right inside the studio.

What sets Sunshine’s apart is how genuine and community-focused it feels. It’s not just a place to exercise—it’s a place to grow, connect, and feel good about yourself. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, friendly, and truly unique fitness experience!

I began taking classes at Sunshine's Fitness Studio two years ago. It was one of the best choices I have ever made! I take 3-4 classes a week and I work out in their state of the art open gym as well. It's difficult to describe the feeling I get when I walk through the door. The staff and members are SO welcoming and encouraging. I'm almost 71 years old, but when I'm participating in a class, they make me feel that I can take on any challenge and exceed my fitness goals.The staff is well trained and I always feel that I'm in excellent hands with my physical and mental health journey. Step into their beautiful facility, take one class or a personal training session and it will absolutely be the best decision that you make that day!

I have been going to Sunshine's since 2017. Best gym around, hands down. Try Boxing and Barbells Monday mornings to start your week off right or work off the stress of the work week with Zumba on Tuesday and Thursday nights. You're only new once...after that you're part of the family!!

I have attended Sunshine's classes for over 10 years now and her classes have helped me to lose weight, eat healthier, get into great physical shape and feel much more confident in myself. I highly recommend her fitness studio. I have attended Zumba for years and recently I started to attend Groove Fit which I have also enjoyed. I used to attend in person, but over the last five years it has been easier to attend classes live online. I recommend both in person and live online classes to anyone. She gives you levels you can use throughout the class, with built in breaks for water and stretching. She also works in weight training and a large variety of training techniques in every Zumba workout. Reach out to her with any questions, she is very helpful and responsive to all feedback! There are lots of classes to check out, not just Zumba and Groove Fit.

About a week ago I started attending classes at Sunshine Fitness, and I’m kicking myself for not starting sooner! The environment is very positive, uplifting, and non-judgmental which is extremely important to me. Each of the classes challenge me mentally and physically which is exactly what I was looking for. Their “sculpt and flow” and “power half hour” classes in particular have been my favorites so far. I’m so happy to have found this studio!

This is the best "gym" experience I have ever had. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. They are very welcoming and caring. All of the fitness moves have multiple difficulty levels, so anyone can attend and not feel overwhelmed. It is a real joy to work out here.

I am a post menopausal woman taking a medication that promotes osteoporosis. Taking classes here 2-3 days a week has actually IMPROVED my bone density. Her classes are fun and you end up wanting to work out.

You will love this place!! Classes are SO fun and you will be sore even for a few days afterwards. I’m non committal, so paying as you go is so important for me! The atmosphere is family.

What a great support and friendly staff. The atmosphere is unbelievable. You do not realize you are there to work out. I love the different levels that are offered for each class. You have something to reach for. You may start out level 1 and then you and the staff are so proud that you made it to level 3. It is just one big happy family that are there with one thing in mind workout your way as Sunshine says "you be you no judgement here" . Come on in get some information on the classes. If in doubt, ask to observe a class first. Invite a friend and come on in and join us.

Sunshine's is the place to go if you hate the intimidating atmosphere at most gyms. What I love about Sunshine's is that everyone is encouraging and no one cares if you make a mistake (we call them "solos" lol!). They offer a mix of in-person, virtual and pop-up classes, as well as personal training. The instructors switch things up so you never get bored. This place doesn't feel like a gym, it feels like a home away from home. If you have been trying to make healthy changes in your life but can't seem to stick to them, this is the place for you. Check out all the photos on Facebook...the results speak for themselves! They say all the time there that you're only new once....after that, you're part of the fitness family.

Sunshine's Fitness Studio & Wellness Center is Amazing and the absolute Best! They offer a wide array of fun classes (including live streaming) that will get you excited to work out and the personal trainers are top notch! I was a little nervous when I started, but they are so welcoming and made me feel really comfortable. You know you are in a caring environment where they listen, get to know you and help you reach success! I can't believe the progress I have made reaching my own fitness goals in a relatively short time! I highly recommend Sunshine's Fitness Studio & Wellness Center. It is the best!!!

If I could give Sunshine’s Fitness and Wellness 10 stars, I would give it 11. I can’t say enough about the gorgeous facility, clean, comfortable and inviting. The staff, trainers and clients all immediately become like family. Show up any at size or fitness level and you will feel at home day one. You come for the workout, but the support, encouragement and community is what makes you keep coming back. The Zumba classes are the absolute best, period. Sunshine is creative and always bringing us new, fun and challenging workouts that make you forget you’re even working out. You will not find better group classes or personal training anywhere.

Sunshine is a life saver. Literally. Her zumba classes are amazing. She shows different levels based on your ability and there is no judgement. truly. I am not a youngster and i work out along 20 somethings and feel totally comfortable. Oh, did i mention she knows each of us by name! I am streaming now because of corona and family risk factor but darn if it is still fantastic. So. Just do it. Love it.

4 years ago, I wrote the following and it still rings true today. Through a lot of ups and downs, including a global pandemic which saw closures and restrictions, Sunshine's Fitness Studio has remained a shining star in the community.

"If you don't think a GREAT trainer will make a difference...I'm living proof you'd be wrong! A few years ago, I was probably at my heaviest and, unbeknownst to me, just a couple of months away from having a blood clot in my leg break off and travel to my lung. After 2 years of trying to figure out what was going on with me physically, I had some bloodwork done and discovered that my A1C was indicative of being pre-diabetic. I met with the folks at the Diabetes Clinic and I started working out with Zumba Sunshine in January of this year. I did my first 5K, the Bangor Color Run in May and will do my 10th on Thanksgiving day! I was tested again in May and my A1C is in the "normal" range and will stay there if I keep working with Sunshine.

What a difference just a few months make when you are working with someone who "gets" you. There's no yelling...no shaming...no guilting...and NO QUITTING! Just guidance, encouragement, and loving celebration of accomplishments! It's the best investment I ever made in myself. Thank you, Sunshine! You are the BEST!"

Words cannot express how I feel about Sunshine's Fitness Studio. The level of true care and concern cannot be found elsewhere. You truly feel like you are the only client. In person, live streaming and video rentals make it possible to get a workout in no matter where you are. I literally cried when I moved out of Maine because Sunshine made such a difference in my life. Being able to work out with her through livestreaming has been the most positive aspect of 2020. Just try one class....you will be hooked!

This is an uplifting and welcoming place for everyone no matter where you are in your fitness journey. I started going to Strong once a week exactly a year ago to 'give it a shot'. Now I'm HIITing Strong 3 times a week with Andrea, Boxing and Barbells at least once a week with Sunshine, and doing PT with Andrea once or twice a week. I'll scoop up some pop up classes now and again... I think I'm addicted! :) I would recommend 'giving it a shot' for anyone who is either just starting a new fitness routine or simply looking to bring it to the next level.

While COVID-19 has changed how classes operate, Sunshine and her crew put their best foot forward during this pandemic, keeping up social distancing, masking, and hygiene practices. Everything is sanitized after classes and use during personal training, everyone maintains a safe distance, classes are overcrowded or unsafe. Sunshine, Andrea and all of the crew at Sunshine's Fitness Studio are working as hard as they can to give quality classes, both in online streaming, video recording, and in person.

I've only been to two classes so far, but they're really fun! The instructors make sure everyone goes at their own pace and make everyone feel included and welcomed. At the second class, Sunshine and Andrea already remembered my name -- I'm impressed! 😄 I'm a quiet person so those little things really make a difference in how I feel in a new environment. They also make sure everyone wipes down their equipment after class, and everyone is comfortably spaced out. I look forward to taking more classes!
