Amplio Fitness

"Belle and Rob have created both the first queer and gym communities that I have felt truly confident and myself in. I have been working out here for over a year now and hope to continue there for many more years. Have met many great people through this and making great progress on achieving my fitness goals."

"This is the first time I’ve felt comfortable in a gym setting. They are so body-positive and welcoming. Really affordable too. With lots of past issues related working out, I’ve felt nothing but support and encouragement here. I highly recommend them!!"

"I absolutely love and look forward to my sessions at Amplio every week! John and Belle are so friendly and positive! The 1:1 sessions keep me accountable to setting aside time each week for myself. My sessions with John have made a big difference in my mental and physical health, and it feels so wonderful to have a safe and accepting place to show up as yourself. I highly recommend booking an infrared sauna session after your workout, so relaxing and lovely, especially on these cold and rainy days."

"I can't recommend Amplio enough! I have been working with Belle for a few months now. I had always been very resistant to working with a trainer because of the stereotypes of them being pushy, intense, and intimidating. Belle is the exact opposite! She's down to earth and easy to talk to, knowledgeable but not overbearing with info, and encouraging while not pressuring me to do something I don't want. Her style is very body intuitive and focuses on what I need in that moment, with the wider goal of developing my overall health. The workout routines Belle has developed for me are personalized, varied, and fun! I already feel so much stronger and more confident in my body. I love that the gym itself is non-traditional; it's private, open and bright, and generally has a chill vibe. I don't feel intimidated, or like I have to look a certain way and do certain things, like I have in the past at other gyms. I like that Amplio includes other facilities like an infrared sauna and reiki therapy. I have also experienced reiki with Belle and it was so relaxing and helped dispel some of my anxiety. I'm so glad I found Belle and Amplio Fitness - I love being part of a welcoming and supportive community that helps me to take care of my body and general well-being!"

"I can't recommend Amplio highly enough! I've been doing online coaching during the pandemic, and it's been a fantastic way to keep up my motivation and fitness. Sessions are very personalized and creative - I don't feel like I've lost anything doing virtual sessions instead of in-person. We've found lots of ways to adapt our routines based on what is available in my home since we don't have access to all the typical gym equipment. Every week, Belle starts a session with "I was researching and found this new exercise, let's try it out and see if we want to add it into our rotation!" Our routines are constantly changing and updating so it never feels rote. Belle has been really great about communicating how exercises should feel and making sure my form is good even though we're working over a computer screen. She is very aware that everyone is on their own fitness journey with their own goals and triggers, and makes sure that her client's comfort and safety is the #1 priority. As someone who hasn't always felt comfortable in traditional gym spaces, this has been incredibly inspiring and motivating."
