I cannot speak highly enough of my experience at Shelby Trained. As a 77-year-old woman, I joined hoping to improve my strength and stamina, and I'm well on my way to achieving both.From the very beginning, a personalized, age-appropriate fitness program was designed specifically around my goals. Every workout is one-on-one with a personal trainer who is by my side throughout the entire session, providing encouragement, guidance, and expert instruction.The trainers are exceptionally knowledgeable, well prepared, and continually assess my progress to ensure each workout is challenging enough to produce results without being overly strenuous. They strike the perfect balance between pushing me and respecting my individual abilities.Most importantly, every member of the Shelby Trained team is genuinely kind, supportive, and invested in my success. I look forward to every workout and wholeheartedly recommend Shelby Trained to anyone—especially older adults—who wants to become stronger, healthier, and more confident in a welcoming, professional environment.

Trainers here are attentive, inspiring, and very tuned in to every client’s particular needs. I started feeling better in just a month. I desired to get in shape after surgeries and after developing bursitis. At Shelby Trained, trainers and fellow clients of all ages form a bond that inspires attendance, camaraderie, and a lasting commitment to being healthy. I highly recommend them!

I started training at Shelby three months ago with a shoulder in Significant pain and at about 50% strength. Today I am almost completely pain-free and the shoulder is back to 90-95% strength. I hardly think about the shoulder at all now.The team at Shelby is of the highest caliber professionally . They communicate with you every step along the way and work in unison as a team throughout your training.It is worth every penny I have spent. At 62, I feel as though I have gained 10 years back on my life physically.Do not hesitate to check Shelby outDoug C.

I’ve been going to Shelby Trained for about a year and my experience has been fantastic! The customized workouts and personal attention have help me build strength where I need it. The trainers are knowledgeable and very helpful with modifications and integrating elements of my PT when needed. Highly recommend!

Shelby Trained is the best investment I've made in myself in a long time. I started going to address chronic back and neck pain, and I'm amazed by how much stronger I feel just a few months in. The trainers are encouraging, but never pushy, and very attentive to individual needs. Even small things like getting out of bed in the morning now feel different. You don't know how much pain you're in until you start feeling better!

Great trainers and culture, Shelby and the team have been instrumental to helping me make the jump to college football.

Every trainer deeply listens to what each client wants to accomplish and works with the different physical challenges those clients may bring. The program is highly personalized. Everyone—from trainers to fellow clients—is cheering you on! Great, welcoming vibe!

I put off joining Shelby Trained for almost a year because of the price. Looking back, I wish I hadn't waited.What sets Shelby Trained apart is that it's so much more than personal training. Every workout is built around what my body needs, and the attention to proper form means I'm not just working hard—I'm working safely and getting the best results. As someone who needed more of a physical therapy-level approach after as I get older, having a customized plan that addresses my old injuries, my body's changes, it has helped me rebuild strength, balance, and confidence in my body.Their methodology evaluates my movement patterns for strengths and places to improve. Even better, they provide customized pre-habilitation, aka a "pre-hab" routine, that prepares my body for the workout ahead. I never feel like I am scared for a workout, and I always feel stronger, more able to move after each workout. It's the best feeling!I also love the semi-private training model. Instead of feeling like I'm being watched every second with a one-on-one trainer, I get expert coaching while training alongside others. The training and attention is better than what most physical therapy places provide. It creates a genuine sense of community.As someone with ADHD, that community has made all the difference. Having a scheduled time, seeing familiar faces, and knowing people expect me there keeps me accountable without the pressure or guilt that has made it hard to stick with other fitness programs, or even trying to rely on myself to workout.As a former college competitive athlete, it was frustrating to feel like my body couldn't do what I knew it was capable of. Thanks to Shelby Trained, my balance is back to what it was in my 20s. I feel strong again. I feel capable again. I feel excited for what levels I can reach in the future. I wish I had Shelby Trained when I was a college athlete, I can only imagine how much better I would have been, and how much more fun it would have been feeling so much more capable.At this point, I can't justify quitting Shelby Trained because it's become essential to my quality of life. It helps me enjoy time with my kids, coach youth sports with confidence, and handle the physical demands of everyday life. If I miss a week, I feel my old body struggles knocking at the door. For me, it's not just an expense—it's an investment in being able to fully live my life.If you're hesitating because of the cost like I did, I'd encourage you to think about the value instead. For me, it's been worth every penny.

After a back injury, I knew I needed help getting active again in a safe way. Shelby Trained exceeded my expectations! 5 months in and I am feeling stronger, more confident and genuinely look forward to my work outs. As a middle aged, non experienced gym person, I hesitated for too long to get started because I was intimidated. Zero intimidation! The community of both trainers and clients is so welcoming and entirely non judgmental.They care also incredibly skilled in what they do and I feel that they have excelled in helping me meet my goals of getting stronger while working with my injury.

I spent seven months at Shelby Trained seeking strategies to combat periodic but debilitating back and glute pain. The personalized strength training exercises I learned there have made a big difference in my mobility and my ability to sit and travel (car/plane). The staff is friendly and helpful and seems invested in your success.

I have been going to Shelby Trained for many years and I can honestly say it is the best gym I have been to. I love having my workouts suited for me and change every 4 weeks so I don't get bored. The trainers are fantastic, they are supportive yet challenge you and guide you through your workouts. If you are looking for a high quality, clean, friendly, and supportive gym, I highly recommend Shelby Trained.

Shelby’s trainers start from where you are today and build a personalized plan to take you to a stronger, healthier future. Anyone, young to quite old feels welcome and leaves each session stronger and more confident then when they entered.

I am 63 years young and new to the area. I was looking for a personalized gym to manage some past injuries. Shelby Trained is great for all ages, from beginners to those who want to get fit again and for those who want to increase their athletic skills. The atmosphere and space is welcoming, clean and non judgmental. They give you a personalized training plan and guide you through it every session. All trainers are friendly, really know (and love) their stuff and work seamlessly together. Scheduling is easy with their App, including virtual sessions if you are away on travel or inclement weather. I was so happy with their program, my husband also joined. Shelby Trained was the perfect jump start back into our active lives. My goals were met in a few months.The best investment is keeping our bodies nimble and fit so we can lead our best lives. Thank you, Shelby and staff!

Shelby Trained is simply the best — truly the gift I've been giving myself for over two years. It has made an incredible difference in both my physical and mental health. The space is a genuine no-judgment zone, and the personalized training and attention are top-notch. All of the trainers are fun, knowledgeable, and very clearly invested in making each workout a positive experience. The atmosphere is always upbeat and welcoming. As a bonus, I've been able to get back into skiing after a long hiatus, and every time I go, I can feel how much stronger I've become.

Shelby Trained has been great for my kids. The coaching staff is great! They are supportive and encouraging and helping the kids to get stronger and faster in preparation for their sports seasons. The kids look forward to their training sessions.

After only 3 months with Shelby Trained I've seen remarkable progress with my strength and stability and am highly motivated to continue! The keys to success include the thoughtful sequences the team creates for me, the immediate feedback I get on my form as I’m working out, and their responsiveness when I have a question or need to modify a movement for my personal situation. Beyond the workouts, I see this company creating a unique community that is welcoming, fun, and healthy.

I started working with Shelby Trained two years ago. I found myself going to my local fitness center and doing the same things over and over with no specific goals and was very bored. Someone suggested trying Shelby Trained. It is the best decision I've ever made thinking about my fitness. They did a thorough assessment and designed a program specifically for me. I don't get bored anymore because every month I get a new workout.Their trainers have a great deal of expertise and are encouraging.When I started with them my goal was to complete 60 years of soccer officiating. This year was my 59th. The Shelby trainers helped me get through the last two years injury free! I highly recommend working with them.

Best training! Total A-team- I've never seen anyone do what they do. Real healthy changes in patients. On year 3 for me and couldn't be happier. Refer my patients all the time. If you want to function and feel better they can give you a path with support, professionalism, and fun- I'm staying on it and look forward to the elevation every session. Yay! I am SO grateful for a way back to real health and fitness.
