I have been a client of Shelby Trained for 2 years, and my son has been training with Shelby Trained for the past year. The training program designed by Shelby is fantastic and perfectly calibrated to meeting your fitness and performance goals. The trainers I have worked with (Peggy, Hannah, Grayson, Nate, Pilar, Marcos) are all personable and supportive but appropriately rigorous when it comes to form and pushing you to do better. And Courtney at the front desk is always helpful and flexible with scheduling. I would highly recommend this gym! Less

I have been a client of Shelby Trained for approximately 10 years, so I’ve seen the business grow, change locations, and slowly transition to its current form. Throughout all of that, and the primary reason I continue to be a satisfied client is that the core values and elements have never changed. Shelby and his excellent staff remain committed to promoting effective, safe, personalized and sustainable training experiences within a community of respect, experience, knowledge, fun, and innovation. I look forward to my workouts while also working out hard during them. ST makes it easy to be consistent with my training because I see results and enjoy the steps toward those results. Highly recommend checking it out! Less

I have had the pleasure of working with Shelby Trained trainers for the last year and I couldn’t be more pleased with their program. After an initial assessment, Shelby helped me improve my overall fitness by guiding me through a personalized workout plan that grew more challenging as time went on. Their extensive knowledge of fitness, attention to detail when assessing my form, and encouraging, motivational coaching style made a huge difference in building my strength and endurance. In addition to the regular program, they run special challenges such as the recent no-sugar week that helped me to reassess my nutrition choices. My husband and I have also taken advantage of their virtual workouts when we travel for extended periods of time, keeping us accountable and progressing whether in Maine or not. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated, fun, and professional group of trainers to assist in improving one’s quality of life …and for anyone looking to join a group of like-minded folks who are all about growth and health!

I’ve been training at Shelby Trained in Yarmouth, Maine, for nearly a year (after not formally exercising for about 25 years!) and the experience has been transformative. The team’s commitment to providing personalized solutions that are guided by each client's stated goals, is evident in every session. The trainers are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in my progress. They’ve tailored workouts to my specific fitness goals, ensuring each session is purposeful and aligned with my needs. Their emphasis on proper form and technique has been instrumental in my development. The facility is clean, well-equipped, and designed to foster a supportive environment. The sense of community here is palpable; working out alongside others in small personal training groups has been both motivating and enjoyable. The camaraderie among members and trainers creates an atmosphere that makes each visit something to look forward to. One aspect that sets Shelby Trained apart is their holistic approach to health and wellness. They address not just exercise, but also nutrition, time management, and overall commitment to well-being. This comprehensive perspective has been crucial in helping me make sustainable lifestyle changes. I've boosted my daily movement, hydration, protein consumption in a meaningful way.

My experience at Shelby Trained has been amazing so far. I love the fact that the workouts change every month or so, and everyone is always so friendly. I started working out here to not only feel stronger, but to build strength so that I could minimize injuries while running.

Shelby Trained is a training facility and gym that offers truly personalized service. They offer many tiers of training and formats that fit busy schedules and different ages. The entire staff is very professional, pleasant and responsive. The trainers are knowledgeable, highly focused on proper alignment and form, and enjoyable to work with. My younger son was the first to use their coaching services during his high school athletics, and has continued working with them. I began using their coaching services for strength training a few months ago to improve my cardio-biomarkers. Although I had a daily yoga and meditation practice for over 30 years, I hadn’t gone to a gym for about that same amount of time. The trainers have been patient and thorough, everything I had hoped for. Less

I have been going to Shelby Trained for about 4 months and am very happy with it. I used to workout with a personal trainer regularly, but after moving to Maine had not done any structured training for about 18 months. Coming into Shelby, the team did a full workup of my current fitness levels and my goals for training. Based on that they put together personalized hour long workouts for me which are updated every month or so. Working out with other people in 4 person pods has enhanced the experience for me. It's really quite social and fun, and I look forward to going to Shelby and seeing the friends I've made there. In addition, all of the staff at Shelby are very knowledgable and professional, while also being fun to interact with. They do an excellent job of providing feedback and corrections and cues to ensure that I'm doing the exercises in a way that avoids injury and provides maximum benefit. I have balance issues due to a disability and Shelby Trained has included exercises to improve my balance in my workouts. After 4 months, I already see a difference and have noted that my balance is markedly improved. In addition, I am stronger and have more muscle tone. The other concern I brought to them was maintaining bone density. The weight bearing exercises that are included in my workouts help me to do this. All in all, Shelby Trained is a great way to improve your fitness. Less

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, there's something for everyone here. The trainers are absolutely top-notch. They are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about helping you reach your fitness goals. I’ve worked with all the trainers and they have not only pushed me to my limits but have also taken the time to educate me on proper form and technique, which has made a huge difference in my progress. What stands out most is the personal attention and care they give. The trainers take the time to understand your goals, adjust workouts to your specific needs, and keep the sessions engaging and challenging. I've never felt like just another face in the crowd here—it's clear that they truly care about your success. If you're looking for a fitness program with a great atmosphere, excellent equipment, and, most importantly, dedicated trainers who are invested in your fitness journey, look no further than Shelby Trained.

I’m more than pleased with my membership at Shelby Trained. The trainers are all outstanding and I’ve found it to be very motivating overall. The experience is more than just exercise. They address nutrition, time management, and commitment among other things. I’m working now on a challenge that they’ve set up to work on meeting a daily step goal. While I’ve had a step goal for some time now, I have only met it about 25 or 30 percent of the days. Since the challenge started on April 1st, I’ve met it 100 percent. I just needed an incentive and they made that happen. And I’m seeing progress towards my other goals. Thanks Shelby and staff. You rock! Less

I've never been an athlete, but always kept on the move enough to stay in decent shape. But as I approached my 70th birthday this year, I needed a more structured work-out to increase my strength and stability. A friend recommended Shelby, and I started in April and so glad I did. The customized routine challenges me enough that I can see and feel the results, but it's not so killer that I'm reluctant to go in. The trainers, Peggy, Hannah and Grayson, are knowledgeable, personable and fun to work with. It's great to get a good work-out and have some laughs along with it. There are high school and college athletes who train there, and they're good kids who are respectful and join in the fun with us older folks. I always walk in feeling welcome by the whole staff and leave feeling like I did a good thing for myself. Highly recommend Shelby Trained! Less
After coming to Shelby Trained for just over a year I can earnestly say that the staff is among the best. They are attentive, personable and adaptive.

After coming to Shelby Trained for just over a year I can earnestly say that the staff is among the best. They are attentive, personable and adaptive. I have come to them with various quirks and they have been able to adjust work outs to correct those quirks. I, for example, had a cranky knee and they were able to work in corrective exercises and stretches. With time the knee is now much better. So I highly recommend this training group. In addition, the equipment is clean and in good shape. The majority of clients are a mix of local athletes and people like myself who need the extra care and accountability in order to achieve their goals. Overall 5-stars highly recommend. Less
