BuildEmUp Fitness in Springfield

A great friendly gym, a welcoming vibe, supportive staff, and clean state of the art facilities making workouts enjoyable for all fitness levels.

Such an awesome space. I would 100% recommend to anyone in the area, and if I was still around I would be living in the sauna/cold plunge. Sweet gym and some great classes offered here. I really enjoyed the class with Christina Lam and have recommended the space to others that I thought might appreciate it.

I have been working with Em for almost two years. She’s not just a trainer, she’s a friend, a mentor and more like family. I have always struggled with gaining weight and Em has worked with me creating meal plans and pushing me on the one on one sessions as well as the group classes. BuildEmUp lives up to its name and motto strong not skinny. The entire team is amazing. Em, Jordan, Gabi & Kat are all there to motivate you and make you feel empowered.

This gym is more than a gym, it's a community of individuals who support, encourage, and challenge one another. Em and the trainers are hands down the best people I have ever met. Whether you come for personal trainings, classes, or your own workouts you will be surrounded by women and men with positive attitudes, zero judgement, and high energy. I recommend this gym to anyone whether you have a goal in mind or not. I have never met a group of trainers who are just as motivated for their clients to hit their goals as I did when I met Em, Jordan, and Gabi. They put their own hearts and souls into creating an environment to individuals to strive and grow. If you're looking to surround yourself with amazing people while also getting stronger I only recommend BuildEmUp Fitness.

If you “hate the gym” then I recommend you check out Em and her team for PT or group training! They make the gym fun and challenging and they will help you reach your fitness goals! They SET THE STANDARD! I’ve been training with Em for 5-6 years. We were partners in another class and then I started PT with her when she was just starting out. Now, I attend her classes regularly! Em even got me through the lockdown with her creative and challenging at-home training program and she has only gotten better from there as she has grown her business and team. Em supports her clients on a personal level (in & out of the gym) and even in a class setting she gives excellent personal feedback. You will never feel like “just a customer” in her classes. After a long day at work, I look forward to coming to Em’s 6pm class. But she starts classes at 5am and her team has availability throughout the day. No more excuses- give BuildEmUp a try!

I started as a trainer with Em almost a year ago. Going in I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. Em invited me in with open arms and changed my life in the best possible way. She is there to help push you to reach your goals. The support from not only her but everyone else in the gym is incredible. Everyone is there to become a better version of themselves. There’s always someone cheering you on, pushing you to hit that PR or finish your last set. The dynamic at BuildEmUp is truly unmatched. I’m a Firefighter/Paramedic and in just a few weeks I’ll be attending the Massachusetts Fire Academy. I have been attending group classes since I started. These classes have helped prepare me for anything and everything I may encounter not only in the academy, but in my career. I have never felt more physically ready for something. Em knows what it takes to be successful in the fields of Firefighter/Police/ any Military branch. She is someone you can trust will help prepare you to set yourself up for success for the rest of your career.

A few years ago I was not comfortable in my own skin and too intimidated to go to the gym… and then I met Emily and her team at BuildEmUp. Emily took my confidence level through the roof in just a few months of knowing her and working 1:1 with her. The environment she works in, her knowledge, words of encouragement and the effect she has on everyone around her (not just myself) to push and become a better person helped a ton .. more than she knows! Without BuildEmUp I wouldn’t be the #StrongNotSkinny, active, 160 pound x2 dog walking mom I am.

I am currently a trainer/coach for BuildEmUp and I can’t say enough good things about Em. She welcomed me to her business with open arms and taught me SO much. She is the best boss I have ever had and this community is like no other. Her classes are *mostly* females and it is amazing to see how far everyone has come in their journeys. This is a place where you aren’t judged and looked at the wrong way. Everyone who comes to classes enjoys it and has a good attitude. This isn’t like any normal gym - it is the best gym you’ll ever step into!
