F3 Fitness LLC in Needham

I race Olympic distance triathlons and signed up with Mike York after I had running injuries and my PT identified strength imbalances and insufficiencies as a key problem. I’ve had a great experience. Mike had direct discussions with the PT and developed a strength program for me that both addresses the functional strength issues identified by the PT and also has me building general physical strength to maintain and improve my running/swimming/biking generally. The program I purchased involves delivery of three workouts each week through an app, and the app has excellent support (including videos providing instructions on each exercise, and communication tools for me to report and ask questions). My program also includes a short (15 minute) direct check in with Mike by phone, which has been really useful for questions and feedback that allows him to adjust my program. It’s all a huge improvement over the strength work I did pre-Mike, that was just some general programs I found on the internet. I’m a super happy customer (who is now back to racing injury free at present!)

I am a 43 year old dad constantly trying to balance family, kids, my career and my health. A regular exercise regime has always been a part of maintaining my physical and mental health – my personal goal is to do a ‘good’ workout at least 3 times a week. I have tried everything – gym memberships, personal training, countless boot camp style fitness classes – just to name a few. It was not until I started going to F3 Fitness in late 2019, that I felt I finally found a program and a trainer that I have consistently come back to 2 to 3 times a week for over 3 years! Mike York does an incredible job of mixing up the workouts to cover all aspects – strength, cardio, conditioning, core, balance etc. The workouts are always different which keeps it engaging; in almost four years of going 2 to 3 times per week I cannot recall ever doing the same workout twice. In terms of overall conditioning, training at F3 has me in the best shape of the last 20 years. Not only that, but the workouts are thoughtfully tailored to prevent injury – I have been injury free since I started. As an added bonus, the core and strength training has added at least 30 to 40 yards of distance to my golf game!! Now that I have found F3, I cannot imagine going anywhere else.

I've been a member of F3 Fitness for over six years now (even participating remotely during Covid) and I absolutely love it. The workouts are constantly changing, but are always well thought out and effective. Mike is extremely helpful with modifications, often having to pivot for various circumstances, and always pays attention to form, with instructions and changes in execution to help avoid injury. Just recently Mike has changed his app platform which has made the workout experience more robust. Adding in challenges, different types of workouts (like yoga, pilates, etc.) and comprehensive plans for at-home days, making continuity so easy. There is literally no reason not to work out every day!

Mike and his workouts are truly amazing! As someone that has had a hard time maintaining a consistent workout schedule for the past 12 years, I have finally found a routine at F3 Fitness that works for me. The workouts are tough, yet engaging and Mike is always there to help guide you through exercises. I've seen so many benefits in and out of the gym that I never would have never dreamed possible without Mike's help!

I love working out at F3 with Mike. With Mike’s encouragement, I am much stronger and don’t have to worry about reaggravating my back or foot; that I have from previous sport injuries. The groups are small enough that I feel I am getting a tailored workout. A huge bonus of the strength training is that it has really improved my golf game! Most importantly I am having fun and getting in shape! I highly recommend F3!

Love this place and Mike! I am an early morning exerciser and want to pack in a sweaty and challenging mix of weights and cardio in a realistic amount of time. I'm not looking for over the top rah-rah but I want a trainer who knows how to make me work. Mike puts a lot of thought into mixing up the challenges and creates a supportive and fun environment that isn't 'in your face.' The group workouts are a good mix of challenge and fun - plus, the gym is clean, and Mike really knows what he's doing. For someone who has dealt with back and neck injuries, I really appreciate his ability to modify all exercises. Highly recommend F3!

F3 Fitness does a great job providing really challenging workouts in a fun way. I have tried various exercise programs over the years, but this is one that has lasted for me. If you have any injuries, Mike will always find an alternate exercise to accommodate your injury. Every time the workout is different, so you don't get bored. Thanks F3 Fitness - I have never been so strong before!

F3 Fitness is a great place to work out! I love the mix of cardio and strength conditioning and no two workouts are ever the same. Mike and his team are experienced and skilled trainers. Sign up now...you won't be disappointed.
