Amherst Fitness in Amherst

Mark has created a very special place that's ideal for anyone looking for a highly personalized experience that goes beyond basic fitness. The space is well-equipped, very clean, and just the right size. Mark and his team are very knowledgeable and able to craft a fitness regimen highly customized to your personal needs. Workouts are always interesting and varied, so boredom is never an issue. It doesn't hurt that Mark himself is a Renaissance guy and always has something interesting to discuss. Workouts can be tough, but he really helps make the time fly!

Mark is exceptional in meeting me where I am- consciously training me through injury and steadily encouraging me to reach for better physical and mental health, especially when I am unmotivated! The real proof is feeling a sustained strength, balance, energy, and centeredness in my body and mind. I cannot replicate Mark's training on my own. I never tire of the workouts as Mark adapts every session- targeting specific areas through stretching and both strength and cardio training. Mark is a wealth of information who supportively shares ways to realistically shift lifestyle habits that will improve nutrition, exercise, meditation, sleeping, and even breathing! Cheers and thanks to the energy and individual focus Mark ALWAYS brings to my sessions! It's been worth every penny and muscle ache :)

I have worked out with Mark Stavropulos for ten years or more. He has brought me through multiple surgeries and injuries. It is fair to credit him with keeping me lively, and aging at least slowly. I have seen him work as well with teenagers and every age to my 78 years. His repertoire of exercises exceeds any I have ever experienced. So, too, his expert use of them to met each person, and each need. He brings, to all he does, gentleness, a quiet sense of humor, and a manner that makes being with him a pleasure.

I worked out with Mark twice a week for years. I found him to be passionate and knowledgeable about personal training and fitness. I credit him for keeping me fit and strong! He had an amazing ability to customize workouts so that I was never bored. If you want to meet specific fitness goals (or beyond!), Mark will answer your questions, address your worries, and challenge you in a helpful way.

Mark and the staff at Amherst fitness are amazing. I've been training with Mark for two years now and lost 21 lbs. I've never felt better. The staff is very knowledgeable on diet as well as weight training. Can't say enough!!

Such a fun and positive yet hardworking environment! Mark and his staff do an excellent job holding their clients accountable and making sure they get the most out of every visit. Everyone I’ve met there (staff or otherwise) has become a friend. Go Amherst Fitness!

Amherst Fitness transformed my life. I could never get motivated until I started training here. Your personal trainers will listen to you, come up with a plan that works for you, and help you get better and better with each meeting. They focus on you during your entire session. No peer pressure. No drill sergeants yelling at you. Just real partners standing ready to help. I also love that you don’t have to do much thinking while you are there: They tell you what to do and how to do it. I never thought I would say this, but at Amherst Fitness working hard feels relaxing. And you’ll see results instantly.

My experience with Amherst Fitness has been highly positive. Mark has done more for me then any trainer/coach has done for me in the past. The trainers here have various backgrounds, but each of them is friendly, unintimidating, and supportive. The key difference between Amherst Fitness and other gyms is personalization and customization. The trainers here are equally invested in you reaching your goals; which is achieved through a whole-body approach (mind, body, nutrition) to help guide you toward a healthy lifestyle.
