I happened upon Vertex Fitness quite by accident and was curious as to what it was all about so I decided to try a session. I had never worked with a trainer or participated in any kind of strength training. I enjoyed the workouts from the start and have been consistently working out at Vertex since 2004. The results were noticeable right away, I feel stronger, look better and I have more energy. I am a tennis player and occasionally get injured while playing. I have been able to work around and through a few different injuries over the years, while still getting the most out of the sessions. The trainers at Vertex are excellent, knowledgeable about the body and helped me get back to playing tennis quicker then I would have ever expected. The attention to detail is unmatched, and they are attentive, friendly and very personable. It truly is a pleasure to work with everyone at Vertex. The efficient workouts are easy to fit into my busy schedule. I feel better when I workout, so I rarely miss my twice a week routine, I feel better at age 45 than I did at 35.
