If I could give 0 I would. I walked in for to ask a couple questions and maybe drop off my resume. Upon entering i was greeted with a very impatient hello, as if i was an intruder. And then a quick dismissive "not a good time bye" without even attempting to talk to me for 1 min. There were only 2 clients in the gym. Youre not so busy you cant be professional and welcoming for 30 seconds.

I was a little off put by this, decided to maybe leave my resume on the desk and leave, and he quickly said "no, plz leave" i told him its my resume he said "email it."

Very dismissive and rude. Vile and volatile energy if you ask me. Couldnt even entertain a potential customer or employee. Wild.

P.S. - by the way dude, your client was doing his exercise wrong. His back was not straight and core was not engaged. He was arching his back way too much and he gonna develop imbalances or get hurt.

My kids and I have been going here for several months (multiple days per week). My 1:1 training sessions have been excellent. Working with Adam has really motivated me to get back into shape for all the sports I like to play (primarily tennis). My kids are teens and Pure Performance has amazing programs for young athletes who want to do off field/court training with trainers who have experience working with this cohort. No matter what time of day I’m at the gym (I’m writing this in July), there are high school and college athletes working hard with their friends— it’s a great vibe. Highly recommended!

After seven knee reconstructions and a few shoulder injuries, I struggled to keep up with the workouts I wanted to do to stay healthy and fit. Pure Performance has been a game-changer. The trainers here really understand how to work with injuries, and they created a program that lets me push myself while staying safe.
Thanks to Pure Performance, I’m finally back to moving in ways I thought were off-limits forever. Highly recommend it to anyone dealing with injuries (and/or age) but still wanting to stay active!

I’ve been working with BJ for a while now to alleviate pain in my knee, which was replaced two years ago. My orthopedist said the replacement looked just like it should, which was confusing and frustrating. A friend referred me to BJ. BJ identified tightness in my hip as the issue that was affecting my knee, and has been doing a lot of soft tissue work that’s led to significant improvement, so I’m a big fan of BJ.

Because of several knee surgeries and recurring orthopedic injuries that often kept me sidelined, my PCP recommended I meet with Adam in early 2020. I’ve been a PPT devotee ever since! From day one—when I was awestruck by Adam’s unique evaluation that revealed anatomical issues needing to be addressed—to today, I’ve been impressed with how Adam and his team have created and updated workout regimens tailored to my needs. I feel fortunate to have worked with Adam and several other trainers and appreciate their expertise and support, and their interest in my life outside the gym! Thanks to PPT, my whole body feels stronger, and I’ve been able to stay active and enjoy all my favorite athletic activities.

My teenage son has had a great experience working with BJ Baker and Pure Performance Training. Their professionalism and expertise helped him recover from a serious ankle and Achilles injury, but they also cared about him as a person and made him feel a part of a community. He is now fitter and stronger.

There are many places that I’ve trained throughout my career and pure performance training is simply the best. I’ve worked with Nick Downing for many years now and not only is he great at getting you results physically, but also mentally. He really cares about getting the best results for you while enjoying the process of your journey. Nick is the best trainer I’ve been around, he understands and knows how to get you to the next level. He has played a massive role in my career, helping me recover from complicated injuries and constantly elevating my game. Pure performance training is such a welcoming environment for every one of all ages, and they know how to have fun while getting the results you want. My experience with Nick and PPT has been amazing.

I love Pure Performance and the fact that my son can get personalized programs based on his sport. The program is constantly changing based on what he needs. The coaches are great and the staff makes it super easy to ask questions during the workouts. My son always looks forward to his workouts at PPT!

I have been working with B.J. Baker at Pure Performance Training for nearly two years, training with him three times a week for strength, balance, prehab and rehab, and soft tissue work. Although a latecomer to long-distance triathlon (Ironman and half-Ironman distance), I’m passionate about my training goals, despite some health challenges and a demanding full-time career. B.J. has been instrumental in helping me achieve these goals through his unmatched expertise and comprehensive programming. Last year, after three fractures, B.J.’s guidance and support enabled me to reach the starting line (and finish!) both of my planned races, a testament to his skill in adaptive training and his commitment to my success. Beyond his technical skills, B.J. is compassionate, kind and empathetic. He takes a holistic approach, always considering nutrition, sleep, and my endurance training, and tailoring our sessions to fit within the broader scope of my health and athletic goals. His sense of humor, and his great relationships with the other trainers, really contributes to a positive environment. I wholeheartedly recommend B.J. Baker and Pure Performance Training to anyone seeking exceptional coaching from a trainer who is not only incredibly skilled but also deeply invested in his clients' well-being and success. Finally, although I work with B.J., I have gotten to know other trainers at Pure Performance Training, like Nick, and I love how supportive they are of each other and of all the clients.

In the past few months training at Pure Performance I have made many strides as an athlete. The entire team is welcoming and will go above and beyond to create a great training environment, whether it be writing up a new program, walking you through an exercise, or having a genuine conversation. I never want to skip a day and I look forward to continuing to train at Pure Performance in the coming years.

Pure Performance Training has been vital for me in my recovery as a D1 student-athlete. The Pure Performance training staff is not only very experienced, but also super welcoming. They are great at what they do and also are great people. BJ Baker is the trainer I worked with specifically for active recovery trainings and he is great at what he does!

High praise for BJ Baker! He has an amazing depth of knowledge in strength training, functional medicine, and different methods of targeted healing - including cupping and deep tissue massage.

Many years ago, when I reported chronic back problems to my primary care doc, she suggested that I check out Pure Performance Training. Over time, as the trainers there worked to strengthen my core muscles, as well as my upper and lower body muscles, the back pain disappeared. That was several years ago. But I continue to go for regular training as I realized the need to maintain overall fitness. I've worked with at least four of their trainers, all of whom are not only knowledgeable but always cognizant of any limitations i have as I age into my late 70s, i.e. acid reflux, knee problems, etc. Without my asking they will incorporate exercises that help me maintain strong bones, good balance, correct posture. As Adam frequently says to me, "Falling is not an option!" When I travel and visit other gyms, I'm able to do my exercises using good form. That's important. Yes, I'm still free of back pain! Highly recommend PPT!

As a middle-aged former competitive athlete, I have been delighted to get to know all of the trainers at Pure Performance. Over the past year I have had the pleasure of working with all of them. World class across the board. I have made gains I thought not possible since my 20s and those old nagging injuries feel better. This is not “just PT” or “just conditioning” or “just strength training”. This is a scientifically-based and experience-driven collaborative environment where that cares about your mental and physical wellbeing beyond the typical sports performance landscape. All three of my children, all likely future college athletes themselves, are also working with these professionals. I cannot recommend Pure Performance highly enough.

I've been training with Adam, B.J., and the Pure Performance team for the past 20 years! They are great at rehabbing injuries - they've seen me through two spine surgeries and a few other injuries and have kept me in shape to play up to 100 rounds of golf a year!! They're the best!!

I've been a client of Pure Performance Training for over two years now, and have never been healthier. My coach (Nick Pavilonis) listens to me about what I want to achieve and crafts a plan that is challenging yet achievable. The program changes regularly so nothing gets stagnant, and I feel I've made great progress. From strength to flexibility, large muscles to small, we cover a lot of ground in only two days per week. The entire team at Pure Performance is supportive, knowledgeable and fun to talk with between exercises. You get out of it what you put into it, and with the coaches at Pure Performance, I've put a lot into it and have never felt better. Highly recommend.

Pure performance is full of knowledgeable and personable trainers who are deeply invest with the people they work with. I have been in and out of there over the past 10 years as my athletic career has grown and evolved and I am always welcomed back with open arms. Nick especially has tailored workouts and programs to push me to my fullest potential regardless of the goal. He learned about my sport to tailor the work I was doing and I surpassed my own expectations as a collegiate athlete thanks to him. It’s a great place for anyone who is looking to get a little stronger whether that goal is for general health or as an elite athlete the trainers will invest in your goals right along with you.

Training with Nick Downing at Pure Performance has improved my strength and flexibility. Nick's knowledge regarding injury avoidance and recovery combined with the energy and passion he brings to every session is very helpful in motivating me to improve. Due to some specific health issues Nick has customized a strength and flexibility workout for me. Each workout is thoughtfully planned, challenging and always tracked with regards to reaching my goals. Nick is supportive and inspiring—pushing me to do my best. I have known Nick for over 15 years. He is genuinely concerned about my long term fitness.

I have absolutely loved my time at Pure Performance Training working with such professionals as Adam Vogel, Matt Healey, Nick P, and Blair Lloyd. This past summer I had the privilege of working with the PPT strength and conditioning coaches, helping me prepare for College football as an Offensive Tackle. As a Lineman, I can say it’s easy for us big boys to fall into the “bench and squat only mentality.” Not only did PPT prevent that, but they showed me (non-body taxing) lifting and cardio regimens that have helped me become the football player I’ve always dreamed of being.

I don’t mean to glaze, but PPT became a second home to me. The community the PPT trainers foster is one of positivity, intelligent training, and the “lock in” mentality. There is never any shame when working in that gym (unlike others with a similar business model).

I implore anyone reading this to head over for a consultation or a training session ASAP! I look forward to training when them again soon.

I have been working with Nick Downing at Pure Performance Training for over 2.5 years and it has been a great experience. His workouts are challenging and vary from month/month. I never find myself getting bored or feeling like "this is easy." Overall, over the time I have worked with Nick I have noticed a change on my strength levels and am appreciative that he pushes me to become stronger and to do more.
