Been working with Josh for about 6 weeks now and I'm very happy I took the first step. I could tell after the first night of the free trial week I was going to stick around for a while. I've never been a gym person except to maybe run on a treadmill, alone with my earbuds in, doing my own thing. It doesn't work like that here; this place is much different. When it came to weights, I had no idea what to do or how to do it. It's great to have Josh not only tell me what to do but he's also right there making sure I do it right, including the warmup. The small groups are great and there always seems to be a couple of good stories that will give me a laugh. The best part has been feeling so much better leaving than when I walked in. I'm happy I showed up that 1st night.

I started going to Josh’s gym in mid-August, and my experience so far has been fantastic. What stands out most is how personalized the program is—it’s thoughtfully tailored to my physical abilities, goals, and specific needs. I had issues with my knee, and Josh incorporated targeted exercises to improve my mobility. I noticed progress within just a few weeks.
Before joining, I wasn’t a regular gym-goer. I preferred working out at home because gyms often felt intimidating—too noisy and crowded, especially around the weights. But this gym completely changed that for me. It’s never overcrowded, and there’s no waiting around for equipment. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming.
The community is another highlight. Everyone is friendly and supportive, which adds so much to the overall experience. Communication is easy and scheduling is flexible, making it convenient to stay consistent.
I highly recommend this gym to anyone—whether you're just starting out or well into your fitness journey. It truly caters to all levels.

I have nothing but positive things to say about JMF. Whether you are brand new or have been working out for years, Josh creates programs that are catered to your needs and is with you every step of the way.
You can tell right away how much Josh cares. It is so much more than a gym, it’s a close knit community.

I can’t say enough about Josh Mavilia and Erin! They have been absolutely instrumental in my recovery from a total hip replacement almost a year ago. Their expertise, encouragement, and thoughtful approach to training have helped me regain strength in my hip and leg, and I feel stronger than I have in years. Both Josh and Erin are amazing trainers—true professionals who really know what they’re doing and genuinely care about their clients. I’m so grateful for their guidance and highly recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable, supportive, and motivating trainers…. And it’s fun there! Super supportive and gym fam vibe is what keeps me going back! 💪🏻

I’ve been training with Josh for less than a year in that time I have seen better results than any of my previous routines. Josh has cultivated a positive, fun, and friendly environment at the gym, making it a place I always enjoy showing up to. He is constantly asking for feedback on programming and strives to make each program more challenging and rewarding than the last. I really appreciate the care and effort he puts in to his work and would recommend joining Josh Mavilia Fitness to anyone!

Simply the BEST! Always a small group of kind, welcoming members and Josh takes great care to make sure that my program not only gets me closer to my goals, but it's a program that I enjoy doing. Low-tech program access (program typed on paper and progress marked with a pen) not only means that I have easy access to my current program and progress, but also my previous work AND I'm not constantly checking a device. Everything about the gym is fantastic - Josh, Erin, equipment, adaptability, customization, and the members are the best.

I have never loved working out but going to Josh Mavilia Fitness has changed that! I have found a great routine and really love going, even on those days I don’t feel like going! In my 31 years of living I have never worked out more consistently than I am right now and it’s really all to the semi private personal training of Josh Mavilia Fitness! The vibe and aspect of the gym makes me feel comfortable and not intimidated at all! It’s a great experience and I’m excited for my fitness journey to continue.

Starting at Josh Mavilia Fitness has been the best fitness decision I have ever made. The entire experience from initial intake to learning the basics of stretching/warm up to interval training has been amazing.Josh and Erin are not only informative but always there to answer questions and encourage.
I must say, I look forward to each and every session. Joining a gym is often intimidating. This experience has been anything but. I always feel welcome and comfortable, a first for me.
Im so happy I made the decision to join Josh Mavilia Fitness and look forward to a continued path to great health!

Highly recommend!! Great place to workout with experienced personnel trainers in a small group setting.
It’s been many years since I’ve worked out and Josh and Erin made me feel welcomed without judging my physical condition. They started me with an introductory circuit and have steadily stepped up the workouts with more weight and advanced exercises. The best part is knowing that they have my personal goals in mind when developing my training program and are always there to bounce questions off or provide feedback on proper form when required.
Overall I’m very happy with my experience here and enjoying the benefits of feeling healthier and stronger!

I wanted to want to go to the gym again after the pandemic. I’ve found that this place is what I needed. I’m excited to get there each time even if I sit on the highway after work or get up early on Saturday mornings. I feel so much better. I feel I belong there. I always have a good laugh with the different conversations around me too. I’ve opted to do one on one training which works for me.

I've been a member of Josh Mavilia Fitness for over a year. Before joining JMF, I had been paying for a membership at a different gym for a year, and never stepped foot in it because I felt intimidated, unsure of what to do and I had no one to keep me accountable. JMF is the exact opposite. Josh and Erin are very knowledgeable, hold me accountable, tailor workouts to my abilities and have created a gym that isn't intimidating. Instead it's a supportive, and fun community where you don't have to come as anyone other than yourself. JMF is an investment but it's so worth it and your future self will be glad that you joined.

I can’t say enough great things about this gym. What initially drew me was that it was advertised as a gym for people that aren’t really gym-people which described me to a T. Also, I needed instruction from someone who had in-depth knowledge of how to safely train after illness/surgery. What I didn’t expect was how much FUN training was and how smart, kind and hilarious Josh and Erin are! I think I laughed and sweated in equal measure all while knowing I was in the capable hands of highly educated trainers. Under their tutelage I was able to quickly let go of any concerns that I might injure myself or push too hard after surgery and was able to just enjoy the process of working out. It is clear they love what they do and - I never thought I’d say this after joining a gym for the first time in my mid 30s - they made me love the gym too! I would recommend them to anyone and if you’re on the fence about joining, I strongly recommend that you just give it a shot because you might be surprised where it takes you!

After a few years of not exercising formally, my guy and I signed up at Josh's gym. The sense of community is great, starting with adding your name to the wall to learning the warmup routine. I attended both evening and morning sessions and all the members were wonderful. On holiday's Josh ran larger bootcamp style classes or outdoor walk/runs with refreshments after.
It's clear from Josh's social media postings and emails to his membership that he's very knowledgable with physiology, and all things fitness related. All members receive personalized workouts and coaching and he meets you at your starting fitness level with abundant encouragement.
I highly recomment Josh Mavilia fitness. It is expensive but small group personal training always is. Wishing continues success for JMF and it's members.

So much to love about Josh Mavilia fitness! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable while the environment is comfortable and welcoming! I've always been an avid gym go-er but was looking for more structure in my workouts and to tone up after baby number 2. Josh's team helped me do just that while challenging me and helping me becoming stronger. They are extremely flexible and offer so many options to get your workout in. All around great gym to be a part of no matter where you are on your fitness journey.

By far the best place and person to go to for a multitude of reasons. With more than 10 years of experience in the fitness field, you can come with confidence that you will be provided with the highest caliber of expertise. The environment is small but full of awesome members that really embodies the feeling of going to the gym with friends and kicking it. I recommend anyone looking to take their fitness journey up a notch whether it be to fine tune your current routine or someone who is looking to start. Josh is the type of person to meet you where you are.

I have been working out now at Josh Mavilia Fitness for almost 9 months now. It has been a great experience. Josh and Erin are great trainers. Nice people, friendly atmosphere, fun place to work out. I definitely have noticed an improvement in my strength and stamina. First few times working out I was totally out of breath. I still need to improve in certain areas (like my diet) but I think I am on the right track on my fitness journey here at Josh Mavilia Fitness.

Josh is the best! He is my first personal trainer. He works with you when you first start to make sure you are comfortable with the exercises you are doing. He helps you build your confidence with the weights and exercises as you go on. He teaches you the correct techniques so you can optimize your workout and also greatly reduce the chance of an injury. It is a very low stress, fun, atmosphere of all ages. Would definitely recommend Josh and Erin at Josh Mavilia Fitness.

Josh does a great job creating a variety of individualized workouts. Each exercise is designed for YOU. This non-competitive environment is perfect for anyone with “traditional gym” anxiety. Josh is flexible with scheduling and is often kind enough to offer make-ups because he wants us to succeed and remain accountable.

After graduating from physical therapy for back surgery, Josh was highly recommended to me for further rehabilitation and strength training. Josh has an incredible wealth of knowledge around injuries, and everything related to fitness. I felt comfortable and confident in all of the exercises he had me doing and he would modify anything that needed to be. The members were supportive and had great energy. Overall, I would highly recommend Josh Mavilia Fitness to beginners through well established athletes.

As an introvert, I always felt too intimidated to start a program with a personal trainer. But, after having back pain for over 9 months with little success from physical therapy and pain management treatments, I finally decided to face my fear and try it. I am so glad I started training with Josh. My back pain improved significantly after about a month and now, after about 7 months of training with him, my back feels as good as it did before my injury! Josh is very welcoming and personable and is passionate about his work. He shares his knowledge in a way that is both interesting and easy to understand. I love the semi-private lessons where I get a program designed specifically for my needs while also getting to meet new people regularly.

I have been training with Josh for over a year now and can’t say enough about my experience! When I started training I had no experience with lifting weights but Josh tailored the training programs to make working out less intimidating. Over time I was able to build up the amount of weight I could lift to an amount I never would have thought possible!
Josh was also able to train me througout the course of my pregnancy this year. He changed the workouts so that I could safely maintain an exercise routine and keep the gains in strength I had made before I was pregnant.
Would definitely recommend Josh Mavilia fitness to anyone who is looking for a new fitness routine!

Love working with Josh, when I first came in I was unmotivated, sluggish, etc. He whipped me into a better attitude right away, I started to actually look forward to the hour session in the morning and it started my day off right. I would highly recommend working with him what ever your goals are. He took the time right away to learn what I wanted to get out of it and he was constantly asking me what I liked/don't like so he could adjust the workouts to make them more enjoyable.
