Reviews of Aum Training Center

Karan Jain

This is the best training centre and the best set of team available in Boston! I joined Aum with the objective to lose some pounds and get active in general. My personal coach, Nicole, was amazing and instrumental in making me work harder and make better health choices. I lost 30lbs and 10inches with personal strength training and proper diet plans provided by Aum. Coach Chris also tailor made nutrition plans for my diet restrictions (Vegetarian) and constantly kept me updating with new and local food options. Both Coach Nicole and Chris are extremely motivating and amazing at what they do. I highly recommend Aum Training Centre and Coach Nicole if you're contemplating your fitness journey!

At the beginning of the quarantine, as I was about to turn 50, I told my friend that this was a turning point- either we needed to keep ourselves strong & healthy or we’d let ourselves go with no turning back. Although there were good intentions, I had little motivation to exercise with all the stress of work, childcare, housework etc. 24/7- not to mention a profound loss. I didn’t quite let myself go but it was definitely status quo at a not-so-great status. I had good intentions but couldn’t stay consistent. So much easier to grab a treat for breakfast or takeout for dinner and even more easy to sit on the couch and binge watch a show. Fast forward one year, with life seemingly going back to normal, I decided that I needed to refocus on myself and my health. At age 51 and running around after an 8 year old, I also need to keep myself fit for her and set a better example. I came across an IG ad from Aum Training Center and started an inquiry about their training services. Coach Chris called me soon after and had such a kind and engaging manner, I decided to meet with him to get more info and check out the studio. I immediately felt at home. Chris was completely down to earth, the studio had the warm energy of a yoga studio and none of the pretension of a gym. We had a great conversation about my experience with weight, fitness, yoga and running, then set realistic and attainable goals. Chris matched me up with Coach Ozzy who I immediately connected with because I got a very familial vibe from him. He was very flexible in scheduling as I had a very limited time window. He also provided me with delicious healthy recipes and reminded me that, rather than “dieting”, actually eating healthy meals is the key to success. Ozzy knows how to test my limits without pushing me so hard that I give up. One of my favorite things about him is that he is respectful of my own knowledge and integrates that into the plan. An extra bonus is that have great conversations too! Each workout is filled with music, laughter, and sweat! I started working out with him twice a week and being more conscious about food intake. Within weeks, I felt better, slept better and began noticing a change. Clothes began fitting differently and I had to start digging into the back of my closet for smaller sizes. Circling back to my friend, who has always been one of my biggest cheerleaders and greatest motivators. He will now be joining me at Aum and we’ll be working out together with Ozzy. Looking forward to continuing this journey and staying healthy together with a pact to never let the other let themself go! Thanks to Aum, Coach Chris and Coach Ozzy, who will definitely keeps us on track!

Aum is amazing. I came in after recovering from an ankle sprain, completely out of shape, with the hope of losing pandemic pounds and avoiding more injuries. Coach Nicole tailored workouts for my goals - she is a very skilled trainer and in every session she has adjusted exercises pretty carefully based on where I've been specifically strong or weak or inflexible. The effects of two hours of weekly workouts were very noticeable very quickly, making me more solid on my feet almost right away, and then making me stronger all around over time. With friendly nudging and encouragement, Nicole has also been helping me develop a better diet and a more active lifestyle outside the gym. She tracks body composition, measurements, weight over time, and helps me track my diet. Over time that has made a huge difference. Over six months so far, I am much leaner, stronger, and healthier overall, and I have picked up a lot of healthy habits. Totally recommended.

I’ve never felt especially comfortable in a gym and have always wished I was in better/more functional shape. After a lot of stops and starts with lifting and fitness, I made it a goal to start with personal training in 2022! Researching around, Aum had tons of great reviews and I took a shot at the consultation. Chris was instantly engaging and helpful, he took care to talk through my goals with me and walk me through what I could expect if I started with Aum. I ultimately wanted to work on strength and aesthetics- I’m a skinny dude and my nutrition is adequate so I didn’t need to fully reaudit my diet but these are absolutely the people I’ll go to when I’m ready to upgrade there! I’ve been lucky enough to do a three month session with Nicole who strikes an incredible balance between being knowledgeable, motivating, and fun. My anxiety/embarrassment about not knowing what I was doing was gone in a session and I was EXCITED to come and train twice a week. I learned what it felt like to have a great workout and focused on my form and body awareness which have translated into results and success in my non-Aum workout. Sessions were challenging but never discouraging and I always left in a better mood than when I came in. The facility is well maintained and they’re always trying new/cool equipment, I was almost always the only client in the gym (which I loved since I got to pick the tunes!) and I never felt crowded or rushed. The team is flexible and proactive with session scheduling and the app works really well to track workouts outside of the facility. Highly recommend this place, just be mindful and transparent about your goals and they will work hard to get you there! A+, Aum has really improved my life!

Kuba Anglin

My experience at Aum has been fantastic! I started with Ozzy about two months ago and am already seeing substantial changes to my physique and strength. As someone who has never really engaged with strength training before, Ozzy has been able to quickly teach me many new exercises through effective communication and demonstration. Training sessions are really a highlight of my day, as Ozzy has made the experience incredibly enjoyable while encouraging me to really push my limits. I highly recommend Aum for anyone looking to improve their physical and mental wellbeing!

Daphne Dunn

Aum is a fantastic facility and place to train! I’m currently working with Osman, who Is super professional, warm, encouraging and pushes me hard, but makes every session fun and different! The hour flies by and I’m Already seeing and feeling positive results after about 12 sessions. The whole experience has been amazing and I would highly reconnect Aum to anyone who Is interested in feeling great and improving their fitness levels at any stage or age!!

Bobby Kelly

Coach Chris Carreiro has provided me with extraordinary guidance and commitment since I first entered his training center in February 2020. At the time, I was simply looking to get back into shape. Chris took me to the next level with his holistic approach - we immediately dove into the principals of weightlifting, nutrition, diet, and overall wellness in mind and body. In my first three months training with Chris, he coached me through a complete body transformation - and I lost 30 pounds while gaining a ton of strength and endurance! Chris kept me on track to my goals, coaching me in virtual sessions over Zoom through the Covid-19 shutdown. We are now back training in-person at the center and I could not be happier. Chris is a remarkable coach and I am so incredibly thankful for his friendship and commitment to my health. I highly recommend Chris and the team at Aum Training Center!

Yuko Torigoe

Chris is by far, the best personal trainer/coach I have ever had. Starting from a very thorough initial consultation, he spent an hour getting to know my fitness and nutritional goals. He keeps all the workouts exciting, challenging, and varies them with every session. He is extremely passionate and engaged with each of his clients. I travel quite often for work and he provides me with different travel workouts that can be easily done at any hotel gym. In addition, he asked me for images of my apartment gym so that he can give me a customized workout using the equipment that’s available to me at home. He also provides feedback on my nutrition by checking my food logs. By taking my work schedule into account, he has given me very creative and realistic suggestions regarding my diet and fitness. His approach to fitness doesn’t just involve the physical component, instead it’s a more holistic approach that considers my overall wellness. Even though I am a private client who trains one-on-one, he makes every effort to introduce me to other clients and trainers to make me feel like i’m part of the community. He also came to do a boot camp for our office as a team building exercise and my staff loved his enthusiasm and creativity to make it a fun day promoting health and physical activities. I highly recommend Chris and the Aum Training Center to anybody who is committed to making a change in their lifestyle.

Caroline Platt

I've been working with Ozzy since Sept. 2021 and my life has genuinely changed for the better. I meet with Ozzy 2x a week and complete an "off day" workout 1x week and I've lost 20 lbs! Ozzy gives me the accountability I need to lose weight the right way. Before going to Aum, I felt like I had tried absolutely everything and I was so exhausted. I now have all the resources available like meal plans, workouts and support. I feel more confident, fit, and overall healthy. I couldn't say better things about Aum and Ozzy!! If you're looking for a sign to take the plunge with personal training, let this be it!

Jan Hauser

My experience with Aum Training Center and with Coach Chris has been transformational! I started with Chris in late summer of 2018 after having many personal trainers over the years, most recently at a high-end Boston fitness club. I was highly disappointed with my training there - bored, not challenging, same routine, expensive and no results. I didn’t look forward to the sessions and I didn’t like the environment ... too crowded, questionable cleanliness, etc. By chance, I walked by Aum Training Center and decided to check out its website. I was very intrigued by the number of testimonials that described “life-changing results” ... not just pounds. Should I try yet again another trainer? I was really ready to make a commitment so I did a consultation with Coach Chris. One of my biggest surprises after starting to work with Chris was the focus on nutrition. I started to make changes and the best part, I wasn’t hungry ... I didn’t crave the sweets. I’m not perfect, but I feel so much better - less bloated and more energy. The training sessions are always challenging … concentrated on form and pushing myself. Two things to share on my journey. First, the results that I experienced once I was ready to commit were amazing. My body fat went from 19% to 11%. I lost almost 12 pounds of fat, but gained over 4 pounds of muscle. My clothes fit so much better! Second, consistency in maintaining strength training is important to keep those results. The commitment of Aum Training Center is exceptional. And, particularly during this terrible health crisis that keeps us all at home, Chris and his team are that much more valuable, addressing these issues - starting with nutrition and strength training... even if you don’t have a home gym. In fact, some of the more challenging routines can just be done with body weight! Best investment in my health ... ever! Jan H.

I had hit my mid 40’s, was coming off an injury, work a busy desk-based job, have kids with lots of activities, had a bad diet, and rarely had time to work out when I started at Aum Training Center last spring. I barely made it through the first class, but since Chris liked to talk about the NBA, I came back for another session. And I was so glad that I did. Slowly but surely, he helped me turn it around. At every session, Chris treats me like I am most important client. He designs and manages core workouts that are at my level. He also regularly highlights diet and other health issues. Now, several months into training with Chris, I am stronger, have more energy, feel so much better and more importantly, have the tools to continue to succeed. Discovering Aum Training was a great find. Chris is a highly skilled trainer who can design killer workouts, make the session enjoyable, and then shift seamlessly into knowledgeable nutrition, diet and life balance discussions. I highly recommend Chris and his team at Aum Training Center!!

Ketan Patel Coaching

Chris is a master of his craft and goes above and beyond for his clients. His support and guidance helped me achieve a new level of strength and mobility for my body. Chris has a wealth of knowledge that goes beyond body training that he incorporates with his training to shift your perspective on workouts/training and make it more enjoyable. He has made training more exciting and helped me get results. Chris is very personable and deeply cares about his clients and I would HIGHLY recommend Chris and Aum Training Center to anyone that is looking to get results!

Nora Kelly

Incredibly thankful to Coach Erika for all her guidance and encouragement over the last year. AUM has been a huge help getting me back on track both physically and mentally. As a former college athlete, I relied heavily on sports and teammates to stay in shape and hold me accountable. However, since graduating college seven years ago, I have found it especially challenging to find the joy in working out. AUM has given me that passion back. Erika has taught me so much about taking care of my body though exercise, mindfulness and nutrition. She has also helped me focus on strengthening weaker areas of my body from previous injury. My knees no longer ache the way they used to. I can’t express how thankful I am to AUM and the team. Would highly recommend to all. Easily the most supportive and thoughtful training staff you will find out there.

Danielle Kalette

I have been with Aum Training Center for a year now. I started my journey in March 2019 hoping to receive a comprehensive education in how to strength train and challenge myself physically. I was a cardio rat with little knowledge of how to reach my ultimate fitness goals of feeling strong and toned. Aum, specifically coach Nicole, has helped me achieve this goal and so much more! Nicole’s positive, encouraging, and energetic attitude is inspirational and makes me look forward to coming in for training. She’s so creative that it’s always fun to learn from her and see what circuits she has in store to help you achieve your goals. Her professionalism and depth of knowledge with strength training and nutrition is truly incredible. And above all else, if you need off day workouts or just have a quick question about nutrition or a workout, she’s responsive and there for you always. If you are looking to transform your body and nutrition Coach Nicole is the trainer for you!

Bijay Kumar

I have been training off and on for 15 years and have been exposed to wonderful trainers across the country. As an Aum client for a year now, I can say that Aum is the best training center I have been to and Chris Carrero is the best trainer I have had. He is disciplined and motivates you to put your best foot forward without added pressure. Chris tailors a training program to fit your needs and provides sound nutritional advice as well. Chris’s is mind and body training at its best! The Real Deal! And the results speak for itself. The facilities are clean and spotless and the equipment is cutting edge. I look forward to my sessions every week. Thank you Chris and Aum!

Jen Cook

Nicole at AUM is amazing. It is hard to put in to words how she has helped me over the past year. She is truly an amazing coach. Superior. As a coach and as a human being. My journey this year has been focused on being mentally well and fixing old injuries that have plagued me.. The physical wellness happens as a result. Nicole has given me more support, motivation, and kindness than I could ever ask from a trainer. She pushes me to be my best, and work my hardest-even when I don’t think I have it in me. She is focused on my total well being, which is the special thing about AUM. I worked with Chris years ago, and knew he would establish a special place for people to grow in their own way with fitness. I cannot recommend this team more. It is an incredible place to find your best self. I cannot say enough about Nicole. She is amazing and has made such an enormous impact on my wellbeing. Cheers to AUM and Nicole!

Parisa Syed

Chris and Nicole are absolutely amazing. They took me in and helped restructure the way I see my body and what I put into it, and they helped me build a better relationship with myself mentally, physically, and through what i put in my body. I worked with them for 9 months, and in that time I became a completely new person. I learned how to handle myself not just for them, but for me. And I can take those tricks and memories with me throughout my life. I can't thank them enough for what they've done for me. If you're thinking about getting a personal trainer, I highly recommend Aum Training Center. They treat everyone like family there, and their facilities are great and always expanding to be better. Chris is a darling and so encouraging, and Nicole was my trainer and is still a good friend to me! They personalize your exercise routines and eating schedules around you and your life--they're flexible and hold you accountable for putting work into yourself. Cannot recommend them enough! This review was looking overdue. Best of luck!

Melissa Hines

Chris is a highly trained, very professional, and extremely knowledgable trainer. I first went to Chris to help with building upper body strength and stamina to help build my endurance with my work. I have also dealt with hyper-mobility and some pelvic instability. Being a physical therapist myself, I am very particular with trainers and who I refer patients to. Without a doubt, I will refer ALL my clients to Chris who are in need of a personal trainer. He is one of a kind. He has a positive attitude, makes training fun, and has a great eye with alignment. I cannot recommend the Aum Training Center enough and trust him with my patients who tend to be on the more complex side.

Yicheng W.

Wow, these people are writing essays here. And there is me coming in without the rhetorical eloquence, just a simple, 100% honest, definitely not sponsored 5 star review. Great coaches(<33 Erika&Chris) and quality nutrition supplements. Loved my trainings here.

Elizabeth Bethoney

It has been such a transformative experience training with Chris. He’s not only meticulous in his athletic coaching, focusing on the most minute details of form throughout each exercise and your entire workout, but he’s there for the emotional support that keeps you focused and committed, as well. I’ve worked with other trainers, including in Manhattan, and they just didn’t approach our sessions with the dedication and superior work ethic as Chris does. His studio is private, offers unique fitness equipment, and is well-appointed to make clients feel comfortable and relaxed. I’ve not only become physically stronger, but I’ve improved my eating and knowledge of food, and developed better habits to mentally handle life’s challenges.

Ashita Chauhan

I enjoyed all the workouts throughout my sessions with my trainer. I can feel the vast difference in my muscles, my strength escalated like never before which toned my entire body. The team (Chris and Erika) is amazing-responsive, helpful and professional. I worked with Erika and she is the best trainer I could ever have- always supportive, responsive, friendly, best at her profession and helpful. Highly recommended :)

William Evans

Ive worked out and been involved in sports my whole life, however pushing 40 with a family, I’ve found it hard to achieve my fitness goals lately. I live in NY with plenty of access to fitness professionals however after talking with Chris I knew I wanted to work with him even though he is Boston. Chris has a great combination of knowledge and passion with an understanding of the difficulties many individuals have with fitness. Fast-forward 7-8 months and I have seen huge changes. I work 10 hour days, commute 2 1/2 hrs each day and have 2 young kids at home. This leaves me about 45 min to workout in the morning before work. Chris has designed workouts and nutrition plans catered to my schedule, body type as well as the goals I want to achieve. In about 4 months I’ve cut my body fat in half, from about 23% down to 11%, while adding muscle and strength. My clothes fit much better and for the first time in several years I feel good about my physique, have an increase in energy, and am motivated to keep going. I can’t say enough good things about Chris and would encourage anyone to work with AUM Training. Thanks Chris!

Brett Newcomb

Like many of you, I was skeptical of trying yet another personal trainer. In the months leading up to my wedding I decided to give AUM a try. Over the next 4 months, I transformed into the best shape of my life. I am amazed at not only my progress and strength, but how healthy I feel. Chris is an absolute pleasure to work with. In my opinion, there are personal trainers and then there is Chris. He goes above an beyond to make sure that every part of your workout (and nutrition) is exactly in line with what you're looking for. He is the perfect combination of coach and friend. When I first started I was barely able to do 1 chin up and now I'm doing 3 sets of 8! For those looking to get in shape and make real progress, Chris and AUM is exactly what you're looking for. Chris will encourage you to put in the work and accomplish your goals. I look forward to working out with Chris for many months and hopefully years to come.

Adriane Klein

I joined AUM last year following two major surgeries that left me with a complication that I wasn’t entirely sure how to navigate with regards to exercise. I was looking to learn how to work out with the new restriction while getting stronger at the same time which is exactly what happened while working with Coach Ozzie. My physical therapist had told me I would never be able to lift overheard heavier then 8 pounds and we easily quadrupled that in under 6 months. He definitely pushed me when I needed and didn’t take my complaints (which were often) when it came to doesn’t an excercise I didn’t like. AUM is a great facility and a really fun place to train. Everyone there is very encouraging in your journey regardless of if they are your coach. I learned a lot that I am able to incorporate confidently on my own which is especially useful following the future surgeries I will have to undergo. Highly recommend AUM and Ozzie to anyone and everyone!

Hannah Grove

I have been working with AUM for just over one year and cannot recommend more highly. When I started I was stressed, not sleeping and frustrated with lack of progress in achieving health goals. I had the good fortune of being paired with Nicole, who is a truly awesome coach. She keeps me engaged, builds my confidence, stretches me to do more than I thought possible -- always as safely as possible. Although we have been training virtually for the last eight months we have not skipped a beat and in fact I have made more progress than I thought possible. Whether in person or via zoom, this is an outstanding team that delivers results.

Kellene Ratko

I have been training with Nicole at AUM since December 2019 and can honestly say that AUM Training Center has changed my life for the better. As a former athlete, I struggled to find a form of fitness that could maintain my interest and address my concerns about prior injuries. Before finding AUM, I would frequently bounce around to different styles of workouts and classes never really loving anything or finding my niche. I was referred to Nicole by a friend and client of AUM. Since my first session, I’ve lost pounds, inches, fat %, etc but what I’ve gained is even more valuable. During my 1.5 years I have gained knowledge on how to be more efficient with my workouts, how to appropriately nourish my body, and overall have walked away with a better appreciation for all the things my body is capable of. This is all due to the approach of AUM Training Center and the commitment of a coach like Nicole. Whether in person or via Zoom (during the pandemic or just traveling), Nicole has created custom workouts based on my goals and guided me through making healthier life choices. I could not be happier with my decision to commit to my health and am grateful for a coach like Nicole for guiding me through every step along the way.

Kara Weiss

Chris is the best. What’s he’s created at AUM is totally unmatched. When I can to AUM I hadn’t worked out in months due to chronic injuries. Working out had become equal parts boring and nerve wracking as I kept acquiring new injuries. I wanted to get in shape and just as importantly, to stay injury free. Chris nailed it. I got into the best shape of my life and he tailored my workouts to work-around my wrist issues and that had been plaguing me. Moreover, he got me eating clean s d taking care of myself. The thing about Chris is he is he’s totally results driven. Your goals are his goals, and he won’t quit until you reach them. And by the way, he’s also just a great guy and a lot of fun. He also has a team of trainers he’s mentored and trained in his own style. I recommend AUM wholeheartedly.

Madigan Artiges

Aum has been exactly what I have been looking for in Boston! I was searching for a small, personalized training experience with coaches that really listened to my goals. All the coaches at Aum were so considerate of my specific fitness goals, and really guided me to a program that allowed me to become stronger and develop healthy habits, all while learning how to strength train and lead a more active lifestyle. I have gotten results in a sustainable, real way, and the workouts are so creative and challenging. They have also been extremely accommodating in my work from home situation, and have been able to provide an amazing workout and guidance from my living room!

Luke Mitcheson

Training with Chris Carreiro at Aum Training Center has enabled my mind and body and to achieve a level of confidence and fitness that I haven't known since high school. Over the course of 12 weeks of working together with Chris I went from 212 pounds to 194 pounds. I became stronger, more flexible and my mood and temperament improved. Chris isn't just a trainer, he is a holistic health and training guide, who will lead and inspire you to better health and fitness. How did Chris do this for me? He helped me pick healthy foods to fuel me throughout the day, promote weight loss and leave me feeling more energetic. Chris's training methods go into the psychology of working out and making healthy choices, without getting overly complicated. Run, don't walk, and sign up for a training session with Chris.

Jim Hood

I came to Chris at Aum Training center because despite riding my bicycle daily, I found I was losing some balance. We are, slowly, rebuilding my core strength with a range of exercises and I am seeing an increase in my balance, measurable in actions like how long can I maintain balance on one foot. A nice side effect of this is that several people have observed I've lost weight. The Aum studio is great. Comfortable, nice music, light filled, and Chris' instruction os great. Chris is a coach, not a trainer — patiently pushing you forward but breaking things down to the granular level so that I can learn each part. I'm very pleased with Aum Training Center.

Annie Weiss

Chris is the best. Truly the best! I have been training with him for 4 years. Over the years I have trained with him, he has helped me reach my pre-wedding goals, helped me stay extremely fit during my pregnancy (which led to an extremely fast labor) and helped me post-pregnancy to get back to my "old self" both physically and emotionally. Chris takes a "whole person" approach to training. He supports his clients in reaching their goals by helping them to make changes in multiple aspects of their lives including fitness, nutrition, and mood. What also sets Chris apart from other trainers is his attention to detail. He spends the entire training session checking and modifying his client's form from all angles. This leads to faster results and prevents injury. Chris is not only a fantastic coach, he has also become a great friend.

brendan Ward

I started training with Chris at Aum Training Center after someone recommended Chris to me. I hate working out and eating correctly. Chris met with me and we discussed my goals back at the end of the August. Chris made suggestions relative to changing my diet (i.e. - eating more and more frequently) and we committed to start working out together once a week starting in September with me being responsible for two workouts a week on my own that he designed and then two cardio days. I have been working with Chris for about 4 months and the progress is starting to show. I am down almost 22 pounds and feel much better about myself. Chris has taught me about working out and I no longer feel awkward when at the gym. Chris is so patient with me and encouraging. I couldn't more highly recommend a personal fitness coach!

Andrew Anderson

After Deciding I was no longer in any sort of shape and needed to make a change for my overall health I found Chris through a networking group. I have worked out with him for about six months and am not only completely transforming my body but my lifestyle with healthier habits all around. Chris is a great mentor with the training and help along the way with eating habits and nutrition. He makes sure you do it right - from the way you lift a weight to the things you choose to eat! The space is a great light filled space overlooking Newbury Street - a great space to spend an hour sweating in! Which I do weekly!

a derosa

This place is awesome. The general spirit of the atmosphere is welcoming, humble and wholesome. I received guidance 6 minutes into the intake process. They really do support your needs as well as desires in an all inclusive manner 🙏🏾❤️!!! …

Annie Landry

I 100% recommend Chris Carreiro and his team at Aum Training Center. I came to Chris after recovering from a significant back injury last year that left me in bed for 4 straight days. Those 4 days left me with a lot of time to think and at that point, I decided that I never wanted to find myself in that position again. Time to take a serious step for change. After receiving some initial medical & chiropractic treatment, I reached out to Chris for support along my journey. As a former athlete & sports rehab therapist, I wanted to be certain that I was working with not only someone who had experience but who understood the proper techniques & forms of exercise to help guide me through a safe program at a pace my body could handle. And boy did I find that and so much more. Not only have I already achieved my initial goals, I am strong enough to do exercises I never expected I would be able to do (hello 1 arm planks). Chris possesses an exceptional grasp of functional exercise and technique. His positivity is truly infectious! Since starting at Aum, I have lost 10 lbs in 8 weeks, I have more strength and energy on a daily basis and mentally I have felt more grounded than I have in years. I strongly recommend Chris Carreiro and the Aum Training Center without hesitation. If you are considering it, Do it now!

Elizabeth Fegreus

I have no reservations in recommending the Aum Training Center, and specifically Coach Chris Carreiro, to the Google community. I am an avid distance runner, but over the years, I kept injuring my hips, knees and feet while training for races. After spraining my plantar fascia last summer, I thought that my body wasn’t able to handle the distance running. I’m so thankful that I was referred to the Aum Training Center before I gave up on running because training with Chris has completely changed my running experience. I’m happy to report that after five months of training with Chris, I’m about to run another marathon and I’m injury-free! The key to Aum Training Center’s strategy is a holistic approach to achieving a healthy lifestyle through nutrition and whole body strengthening. I’ve never felt healthier than I do now as a result of working with the Aum Training Center. I’ve used prerecorded cardio and strengthening classes at home in the past out of convenience. The online workout subscriptions are no substitute for an individually tailored program for your specific health goals. I should also mention that Chris is just a fun person to work with. Let’s be honest, weight training and pull-ups aren’t always enjoyable activities. Chris has a positive, judgment-free attitude that keeps me laughing every week.

Nathan Kinney

January 2019 I renewed my goal to improve my physical and mental wellness. Having tried a number of commercial diets and fitness programs without success, I became frustrated I’d never see the results I was seeking. At Aum Training Center, Chris and Nicole were warm and inviting to hear my story and meet me where I was physically at without judgement. They were instrumental in giving me the tools to refresh my entire nutritional lifestyle and learn how to properly exercise for the first time in my life. Their ability to adapt an exercise program to my specific needs and continued positive encouragement helped keep me going when I was ready to throw in the towel. 4 months in and down 40 pounds, my new found confidence and energy is overwhelming. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in this journey than Aum Training Center!

Working with Chris changed my life. After years of knee problems and a knee surgery in 2011, I was out of shape, in pain and unable even to cycle or swim comfortably, let alone do my favorite things such as downhill ski with my children. I had gone through several cycles of physical therapy with multiple practitioners and it only seemed to make things worse. The doctors told me that I shouldn’t expect to improve given that I had already tried everything. They were recommending further surgeries. Then I met Chris. He did a comprehensive evaluation and immediately found exercises I could do pain free to start getting back in shape. Chris was encyclopedic and customized everything to me in a way that I had never experienced before. If one exercise was causing pain, he always had five more options that would achieve the same goal. This was far more effective than anything I’d read on the internet or the cookie cutter stuff that I’d received from physical therapists. This integrated, customized program caused slow steady improvement that just wasn’t happening through physical therapy or through my own workout program. Chris listened to my goals. Thinking it probably not possible, I told him I wanted to ski aggressively like I did in my 20’s. Slowly, over the course of a couple of years, he took me from not even being able to cycle to having stronger legs (and stronger full body) than I’d ever had in my life. I was aggressively skiing double black diamond runs with my kids and even on playing on an ultimate Frisbee club team. Plus, now I generally feel good about my body and my psyche is much better in general. I’m a very busy professional with kids and Chris provided great flexibility in scheduling sessions. He’s the kind of ultra-dedicated person who loves his job and goes over the top. I can text him any time with questions and he responds. As an included value add, he evaluated the whole me. He looked not just at my exercise but also analyzed my diet and my sleeping patterns and recommended specific changes. This was money well spent. Chris is worth every penny.

I initially came to the Aum Center six months ago to get medical advice for my hypothyroid, then I decided to see what Aum Training Center was all about. I was currently seeing a trainer on a weekly basis at one of the best gyms in Boston and was not completely 100% about how things were going. My first session with Chris- I was sold. He did all these tests-- body fat, etc, etc. We looked at my stats and made some serious goals. Our sessions are tough. He pushes me like no other trainer has pushed me. He gets me in the zone, and I'm able to do things that surprise me every session. What I like most about Chris is how passionate he is about his clients' success. He gets just as excited as I do! It's awesome. This type of support just makes me want to work harder. I have lost inches& pounds. My body fat % has gone down like crazy!! When we're not working out together, I have a super detailed training plan that I follow for weight training and cardio. Every month he switches it up based on our goals. He's also created a custom nutrition plan for me. I've made major changes to my diet, and I've never felt better. And this is just from just six months together- two of which I was away for the summer! I'm so happy I decided to try Aum Training. I can't wait to see where I am in six more months!! If you're looking to make some serious changes to your health/fitness, schedule an appt here ASAP.

I was trying to lose weight for years before I met Chris. I began personal training with him and within approximately 6 months, I lost 40 lbs (217 to 177) and I'm now at my goal weight! I am so thankful to him. All the other reviews are spot on: beautiful facility, great testing to give you immediate feedback and he is positive, patient and encouraging. He is also very knowledgeable about nutrition, providing great advice. I was always hesitant to make a commitment or was worried I was too out of shape to get a personal trainer, but Chris eliminates those concerns from day one and gets you on the right track.

I have worked out with Chris for the last 6 years. He is an amazing trainer who understands how to tailor workout plans that are relevant to each client. He also has great knowledge of nutrition and works with clients on combining exercise and a healthy eating plan. You will not go wrong with Chris as your trainer. I consider him a master trainer.

Dan Hanson

I began working with Chris about 6 months ago due to a referral from my physical therapist. Because of a chronic pain condition, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to sustain this type of exercise program. Chris worked closely with my physical therapist and created a program that was challenging while also working around the source of my pain. Within 1 month, I had begun to achieve results while surprisingly improving the pain condition. I'm now training at a I never thought possible again, thanks to Chris's attention to detail and mindful approach. Six months later, I've shed 7% of my body fat, increased muscle mass, and am in better shape than even before the onset of my pain condition 3 years ago. I highly recommend Chris and AUM for anyone serious about improving their overall physical well being.

Just got back from a 3 hour hike in Acadia National Park with my 2 boys 4.5 and 6.5 years old. Yesterday we went kayaking.. Chris has made this possible. He has helped me to get stronger and leaner at every workout. I've worked with several trainers over the years and what differentiates him and his coaching style is that he is highly motivating, fun and is always correcting my technique. My goal was to get stronger and be able to keep up with my boys. He has made that possible!

Tyler Sullivan

Coach Chris has literally helped change my life. My goals were nutrition, posture and sculpting my physique. He took me grocery shopping, helped me identify my nutritional routine (& understanding the why), and took care in customizing a schedule to accommodate my lifestyle and former sports injuries. He is super knowledgeable, takes pride in his work, and has been great about accommodating my individual needs. I highly recommend aum!

Nick has been an absolute pleasure and has made fitness fun! I started working out with Nick about 6 months ago. Within the first 3 months I lost over 40lbs.,17% body fat and 8 inches off my waist!!! He has been able to work with me to change my diet and outlook on exercise. I would highly recommend AUM Training Center to anyone!

Neal Colman

I first came to AUM center almost two years ago. I was recently retired and was not in very good physical condition. I was unhappy with how I was managing my exercise and nuturition and knew I needed some help. My wife and I both decided to see Chris as a team. I had always worked out but it wasn't until I met a true caring professional like Chris that I realized how much I didn't know. Chris got us focussed on building our core strength and eating in a way that help us build lean muscle and burn fat. Chris has a great way of explaining the mechanics of the exercises and adapting them to fit your capabilities. Through encouragement and humor he pushes you to do more and challenge yourself. We set goals and celebrate successes together as a team. I alwayus feel good and tired when I leave a training session. As far as results, over the time we have worked together I have lost 15 lbs, dropped my AIc blood sugar reading from 6.4 to 5.7 and dropped my cholestrerol from over 200 to 145. Very pleased with the progress but still more to go. Thanks Chris!! Neal Colman

Anne Marie Rowe

I came to Chris 6 months ago looking for a change. I had been taking lots of spin and cardio classes for years and wasn’t seeing any results. I was exercising a lot and still gaining weight. On top that, I was at a pivotal point in my career and I could feel my confidence fading. Over the last six months, I have lost 14 pounds, built muscle, figured out how to eat correctly for my body and increased my confidence. Most importantly, I have had fun along the way and have found great support from the clients at Aum. I am very grateful for Aum Training and would highly recommend Chris!

Daniel Dau

Not just a trainer, but a coach that goes way beyond just private 1:1’s. With Chris, it’s a hands on transformational program that combines physical training, complete nutrition plan, and coaching calls to help you achieve your greatest goals. Chris’s passion and expertise is what sets him apart. His training center is top notch. I travel into Boston from Newburyport to train at Aum Training Center and when I’m traveling – Chris provides me a plan and walks me through it when on the road to remain on point. I highly recommend Aum Training Center!

I would recommend AUM to anyone that has tried the yo yo dieting or just can’t get motivated to start a workout regime. I saw an add on Facebook for AUM and contacted Chris the next day. AUM is not just for scheduled workouts, it is a wholistic lifestyle overhaul that will work for you long term. I was already calling plastic surgeons about liposuction and by luck I was connected with AUM! Chris was awesome at listening to what I was trying to achieve and created a whole plan with me. The trainers are fantastic as well. Nicole is a rockstar! While part of the AUM community you can contact them about nutrition and fitness questions anytime. They are open and easily accessible. If you need the motivation and help to get weight loss started etc., call them! They are fantastic and you won’t regret it!!!

Have been training at Aum since January 2016, and I love it! Chris is knowledgable, patient, encouraging, and most of all, listens. I am an older athlete, coming back from arthritis, injuries, etc. and Chris finds modifications for me that are still effective. He watches closely to make sure I can and am doing an exercise properly, and if he sees strain, he finds a way to modify it right then. And I am injury free, and pain free! We have a series of goals for me, and I am hitting the 2nd big goal, almost to the date! It's great to feel healthy and strong again...

Allie Bromley

I enthusiastically endorse AUM training for personal and small group training. I was feeling sluggish and isolated 1 year postpartum, and wanted to set aside some time just for myself being a new mom with a demanding job. Nicole completely reinvented me. She doesn't hesitate to make adjustments based on my specific needs. The staff at AUM is always encouraging but never over the top. Nicole does every workout along with me so I have a reference if I am confused. It's also nice to not be alone through the grind! While I started this simply to find some time to dedicate to myself.. the benefits are off the charts. I am sleeping better, I have less anxiety, and I am fitting into clothes from the time of my wedding! AUM has given me confidence in my body that I never had before. I feel mentally and physically stronger and I pop out of bed excited for my workout.

Four months after giving birth to my second child my life was transformed. Chris gave me the knowledge, support and confidence to find and believe in myself. I was so unhealthy that was I unable to breastfeed because I was not feeding my body real food. Not only has training with Chris helped me personally but professionally as well. As a massage therapist for 10 years my joints hurt, that's until we figured out that I had a gluten sensitivity. Now I'm able to help relieve my clients pains and aches while I'm pain free myself and all thanks to Chris!!!

Ryan Hamilton

As a former personal trainer and a current healthcare professional, I have come across many trainers, and Chris blows everyone else away. His knowledge of nutrition combined with a customized workout plan produces unparalleled results. He does not design programs to insert clients into the program, he designs a program for each client. If you're looking to finally hit your health and fitness goals, Chris is the guy to call.

I got pulled into Aum by sheer coincidence through a friend, Sashya to try working out together, late Nov. We go twice a week, listen to some awesome bhangra/bollywood tunes and push our limits every time. Chris has this energy that is super contagious. What distinguishes Chris from other PT I've done is his check on nutrition/habits/stress and planning ahead on these matters, after each session. I have lost 20 lbs over 4 months, and gained tremendous amount of positive energy and attitude. I look forward to my sessions because they are fun with a friend and a peppy, strong, happy-go-lucky yet a very demanding trainer, who has only one goal for you - progress every week. Thanks Chris and Sash! Its been a joy ride with you two ... have no plan to leave but make this part of my life :)

Debbie Markarian

Working with Nick Lynch has been a total joy. When I first started training I was so out of shape,overweight and extremely fatigued. I have now been working out weekly with him for almost 7 months. He has changed my whole outlook on my life choices. I feel energetic, lighter and so much happier about my body. I highly recommend him and this facility.

If you are looking to take your fitness and overall health to the next level, then Aum Training Center and working with Chris Carreiro may be your next positive move. I've worked with Aum Healing Center for nearly 10 months and have strength and physical abilities always increasing. It's the best decision I've made for my health and well being and I believe it will be for yours as well.

Alexandra Hourani

Aum has been great! Suffering knee pain I was looking for a personalized workout that challenged me but would not hurt. Nicole has been fantastic! I have been going for months and have gotten so much stronger and am still challenged. I couldn’t be happier with Aum. Highly recommended for personal and small group training.

debbie mcmahon

Nick Lynch! Knows his stuff!!! and i have the muscles to prove it!! After a career change into massage therapy and getting back from a vacation that I over ate on I was so tired and didnt fit into any of my clothes. Being in my 40s the weight just wasn't coming off like it used too. Nick helped me work thru some existing injuries and not just loose weight but strengthen my body. I can work better and look better but all in all I just feel awesome!!! Thanks Nick!!!!! Debbie M

Ben Robbins

Chris and Nick have a program that was exactly what I was looking for. For a few years, as I've gotten into bad shape while sitting behind a desk for many hours a day. I've been trying to find an exercise and diet regimen that'd be ideal for long term health and weight loss. I've tried other trainers and programs from apps/magazines and all seemed either too hardcore, or not strenuous enough. These guys push me exactly the right amount- I get a great workout every time but never feel like I'm about to keel over at the end. On top of that they keep close track of diet. There's no formal program around it but they'll monitor food intake via an app and provide lots of specific recommendations. There's nothing magical about it but which I find makes meal planning a bit easier and more structured with their tips. Keep up the great work guys!

Transformative. "W"holistic. Personalized. Chris and the Aum Training Center model re-define an approach to wellness that goes far beyond the experience of a 'training session' to include personalized support around the entire training experience - nutritional support, personalized 'homework' plans, motivational support and more. For someone otherwise intimidated by training, the experience has given me a confidence and commitment to my own physical well being that had never existed prior to my time at Aum. At its core, the training focuses on mastering subtleties of movement that seem innate and natural but which deliver tremendous results and without the fear of injury. The workouts are comprehensive, tailored not just to the individual, but the individual's place in their wellness journey - there is a dynamic attention to detail based on real-time feedback during sessions. As a physician, I cannot more highly recommend Chris and the Aum Healing Center as a catalyst for transformative, 'w'holistic and guided personalized change in my own life.

Sean Sanker Sr.

Chris is an excellent trainer. Helping me to get my body in shape without repeating past mistakes that led to injuries. Beautiful facility, personal training, choice of music, flexible schedule. No complaints.

Laura A
