Underground Fitness in Brookline

I have been training with Joe since September 2024 and cannot say enough good things about him and my overall experience. After a total hip replacement and 6 months of physical therapy, I was ready to work with a trainer who could help me fully recover and get back to my pre-pain and pre-surgery fitness level. Joe is excellent. He curates a plan of exercises to improve mobility and flexibility while also helping me rebuild strength and stamina. He sprinkles in safe versions of my favorite exercises and keeps our sessions interesting. He is patient, understanding and creative in his approach. I appreciate him as a trainer and a person. And, I am noticing results. I am feeling better and stronger each week. I also like that Underground Fitness is not a gym, but a personal training studio. There are not the usual gym distractions of waiting for equipment or people being all over the place. It feels like a relaxing place where I can focus on what I am there to do. I highly recommend it.

Jordan has been my personal trainer for several years. I appreciate his ability to keep me motivated by varying our routine, paying attention to my energy level and any challenging areas in my body. While he has a plan for each session, he always checks in first to see how I am feeling and makes any needed modifications. As a woman in my 50's, I appreciate this attention to detail. My fitness, strength/mobility and overall health goals are the core focus of our sessions. Additionally, Jordan is just fun and phenomenal to work with. He builds an easy and comfortable report and the time truly flies! I find him to be knowledgeable/ well studied on a variety of topics both on fitness and related areas like nutrition and wellness/longevity. We discuss and implement new approaches as the science behind fitness evolves. I recommend Jordan for anyone from the most athletic looking to maximize their peak performance to someone like myself who needs direction, structure, and accountability to prioritize fitness in an efficient way with a busy work/home life. Training with Jordan has become an important part of my own self care and helps me stay focused and productive at a higher level overall. I recommend him without hesitation!

I have a tough time figuring out how to balance my daily schedule and training, and I'm not always entirely clear on my goals. Jordan helps me craft a plan and set specific fitness goals. He’s also instrumental in showing me the importance of balancing rest and training, which helps me avoid major injury in the gym. His rigor, attentiveness, and overall compassion create a positive and motivating gym experience for me. If you're looking for all these qualities and more, I would highly recommend Jordan as a trainer! -Benji R.

I started training with Underground Fitness in 2021. I was incredibly nervous to get to working out and expressed that to my trainer, Dan, in my first session. Dan eased me into the experience, going at my own pace, and I quickly saw my strength and energy levels go up! I look forward to my sessions every week because I always leave with a huge smile on face knowing they have helped me accomplish my goals. The environment at Underground is dedicated and welcoming, filled with great warmth and connections being made along the way. You couldn’t ask for a better crew of trainers. Thanks Dan, Joe, Dillon, and Pat for all that you do to make Underground Fitness a safe and effective place to grow!

I’ve been training with Underground Fitness since 2021 and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I train once or twice a week with Dillon and I’ve been able to feel and see the results in my day to day life. Growing up I was always on a sports team, so having a personal trainer to help me feel motivated inside and outside the gym has been a game changer. Dillon helps me to understand what works for me in the gym, provides me with exercises I can do on my own time, and coaches me through exercises in a judgement free way. Underground Fitness is filled with incredible trainers, just like Dillon, who are always there to greet you with a smile and/or fist bump, a wealth of exercise knowledge, and many laughs along the way. If you’re looking for a place with a healthy, positive environment to help you get to where you want to be physically, I cannot recommend Underground Fitness enough!

I have been training at Underground Fitness for more than two years, mainly training with Joe, on occasion with Pat and Dan, and my experience there has been outstanding. Joe, Pat, and Dan are great trainers, very professional, attentive to my needs, and incredibly friendly. The ambience in the gym is always uplifting, motivating me to work out. I know that every time I train at Underground Fitness, Joe, Pat, and Dan will push me to do my best, in turn leading me to see delightful outcomes in my physical health. I highly recommend Underground Fitness to anyone who is looking to improve their physical health, build a routine, or would like support in working out.

Joe’s dedication and professionalism to his job is amazing. I have trained with many trainers (10 plus) over the years , but simply put Joe is the best by far. His educational background, combined with his focus, creativity, and encouragement are just a few of the reasons I enjoy and work hard in our sessions. I had been morbidly obese and made the decision to change my habits and my lifestyle almost (3) three years ago with weight loss surgery. Joe has been instrumental in helping me achieve not only my physical wellness but my mental wellness as well. He Is kind, compassionate and very motivational. His encouragement throughout my continued journey to wellness goes beyond the walls of his studio. If you are looking for a trainer with a stellar reputation, amazing talents and a wonderful personality to get you motivated and healthy Joe is the one to train with.

Joe is simply the best trainer. I have been a client of his for six years. He treats me as an individual with my own needs and goals - not as just one of many. He listens well and asks questions each and every time we meet so as to ensure a great and safe workout. He learns your body and has a solid knowledge of musculature and structure. He designs the program I need to reach my own optimum health level. He is friendly, kind, personable, fun, and a great communicator. He has really changed my life, not just physically but in my overall health.
