Reviews of 57 FIT

Rahel Theodros

I've been working out at 57Fit for about 7 months, and I can confidently say I'm never leaving. Marcus is hands down the best trainer I've ever had! I've done personal training, small group fitness, and many other training programs over the years, but nothing can compare to the results I've had at 57fit. Marcus curates specific workouts to help you crush your goals, and will push you to your highest potential. I had a recent back injury, and Marcus made sure to accommodate and create workouts that are just as efficient, but supportive of my physical therapy routine so I could continue to lift heavier weights and progress. The community is so supportive, and unlike any gym I've been to. We all encourage each other, and interact during workouts, making it really fun. I'm so thankful to have found 57Fit!

To begin with, I rarely write reviews. The reason that I am, at this time, is that Marcus - so much - deserves the credit for my workout successes. I have been to many gyms, and had many workout programs prior to 57FIT. Wow. I have finally found the formula for the body and general health that I was looking to find - due to Marcus' program. Thank you. I will continue to train in this low-key, comfortable workout environment - with the other clients (and I would say friends) that I have met here. What an impressive place.

57Fit has been my gym for almost two years now. Marcus is a wonderful trainer - he's inclusive, considerate, motivating, and just an overall good guy. When I started, I didn't know the difference between a dumbbell and barbell. Now, I feel comfortable and knowledgeable and capable to do a strength training workout. I was never one for the drill sergeant type trainers and wanted to feel at home in a gym. Marcus has built an awesome inclusive community at 57Fit. He provides tailored workouts and great instruction - plus the new gym space is amazing!

Amanda Heyman

I 10 out of 10 recommend Marcus and 57 FIT. The community is amazing, all bodies are welcomed, celebrated, and included, and best of all Marcus makes training fun! Marcus is great at tailoring workouts and will always work with you to make sure you're getting the workout you need on any particular day. I always feel supported as well as appropriately challenged. Highly recommend!

Angel Even

I recommend 57 FIT to everyone looking for a trainer who customizes workouts to you, while challenging you within your limits. I've been working out with Marcus for the last 8 months and have seen great improvement with my strength, mobility, and endurance. When I first started to work out at 57 FIT I would have to have workout with knee braces, due to weak/strained joints. Now I've gained muscle and have not needed my knee braces. Marcus also customized my trainings to not be high impact on my knees. The other thing that always impresses me about Marcus as a trainer is that there have been clients that have been with him since he started training years ago, which is a testament to who he is as a trainer and individual. It's a 5 out of 5 for me!

Courtney Knoll

I'm a big girl. I pretty much hate working out. I have tried all that diet culture has to offer and all it did was make me miserable. I found 57Fit on Instagram and was intrigued by a gym that was working to be intentionally body positive and also, all the women featured seemed super powerful and like they were enjoying themselves. I followed online for a long time before I got the courage to actually sign up. There are not enough good things to say about 57Fit, Marcus and the community he is building. Marcus somehow simultaneously meets you where you are at and pushes you beyond what you thought you could do - and its empowering. My workouts are intense, are personalized to goals that I set, as well as to my current abilities and there are times Marcus will even adapt mid-workout if modifications are needed. He is honest about what to expect, attentive to each client and their needs with a strong dose of humor and compassion. He also has better music taste than other trainers and that can make or break a workout. Lastly, the community Marcus has built among the folks he trains feels unique and important. As a plus size person, gyms don't always feel safe or welcoming - I can promise I have only felt encouraged and inspired at 57Fit. You should check it out...

I've been so happy working out with Marcus here. He's knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive. The people I've met at 57 Fit are amazing too! This is a real community :)

Edward McFowland III

I am not one to write reviews but I felt compelled to write one for Marcus because training with him has been really beneficial. First, the best thing about working with Marcus is that he creates a comfortable and fun environment. Because he is so down to earth, during our sessions we usually laugh, lift, and laugh some more; the time just flies by. Marcus is extremely knowledgeable, but makes the complexities of the various exercises very approachable. He creates a custom plan for me, based on my goals and progress; I just have to come in, and follow his lead. In the first few months, I not only lost more weight (and waist sizes) than I expected, but I started to see definition in various (new) part of my body. To be clear, working with Marcus is not a loose-weight quick scheme; he preaches realistic goals, with commitment and consistency. But Marcus meets you were you are, any weight or background, and walk beside your fitness journey. When I came to Marcus, I was also suffering from somewhat pain in my hip and groin, that would constantly flare up when I try to play sports, even though I was seeing a physical therapist weekly. Marcus paid close attention to my workouts and identified weaknesses in my lower-body that were the culprit, helping me to strengthen them and eliminate the chronic pain. I can now play sports again, but even better than before. If you are considering working with Marcus, you owe it to yourself to pull the trigger.

Lynndaia Chevre

I cannot explain how much Marcus has helped me thought my fitness journey and helped me to be a stronger person, both mentally and physically. He makes sure you are working your tail off and having fun. He is an inspiration to his clients and a good friend. If there is something you want to work on or need help with, Marcus takes the time to educate you and show you how to accomplish your goals in and out of the gym. I could not recommend him enough. If you are looking for an educator, someone who will care about you and your individual goals, and a trainer all in one, train with him.

Melissa Taylor

I could go on an on but I will keep it brief. I have trained with several trainers in the past and Marcus is a truly gifted individual who has a passion for what he does. He takes a holistic approach to training and makes sure you understand how what you do outside the gym impacts your goals. Each program is customized to the individual and you are gently pushed out of your comfort zone. I've been training with him for almost 2 years and I can honestly say I'm stronger than I've ever been. Thanks Marcus

jackee heslop

I absolutely love working with Marcus. He has created such a warm and welcoming workout community, so much so that folks introduce themselves and remember names. During our consultation, he listened and put my hopes and concerns into practice. He challenges me in a way that motivates rather than deter me. I would recommend this semi group workout to anyone! You will have fun and break a sweat!

Bridget Jordan

5 weeks into the Community Training sessions and I'm already feeling stronger. Marcus provides a program that allows you to customize the workout to your current skill level but also pushes you when you need it. I've felt so comfortable here, asking 'silly' questions about posture, weights, or equipment, and I'm always met with helpful answers. Love the variety of moves every week - has given me ideas for what I can do at home to keep up workouts.

Melissa Riley

I've only begun training with Marcus, but I know I made the right choice. Marcus is very attentive and supportive even in semi private groups. He has an enthusiasm and knowledge for his training and it shows in the individual workouts he has his clients perform. If you want to catch a glimpse of the atmosphere, clientele, and action for yourself do what I did. Follow him on Instagram at marcus57fit. I agree with all of the reviews I've read on here and I can't say anything but positive things about training, thus far, with Marcus!

Katie Gibson

I highly recommend Marcus from 57Fit as a trainer. I have been his client for little over a month. This is my first experience with a personal trainer and a CrossFit environment. It can be so intimidating starting an exercise program especially as a someone beginning at square one after a long absence from physical fitness. I knew I needed a trainer who is encouraging, kind and willing to meet me at my level. I know that I have a trainer who has partnered with me on this journey. I am grateful to work out in a healthy environment that does not shame and instead nurtures a positive attitude and relationship with my body. I trust Marcus to plan my workout/training sessions with my health and safety in mind. Training with Marcus is the best decision for my health and overall wellbeing and I encourage you to meet with him to start your path to a stronger you.

Liz Hoh

Marcus it the best trainer I've worked with and his program works the best for me and my busy life. He meets you where you're at, and has created a welcoming body positive environment for everyone. Not your typical gym experience, it is truly a non-judgmental, education based community that sets you up for success!

Jeffrey Keels

I'm here every week with personal trainer Marcus Watson doing a great combination of strength and cardio workouts. The environment is open, well ventilated and easy to locate uptown. Marcus flexible for scheduling and excellent at catering to your specific body goals.

A Kinne

I have been working with Marcus for almost 3 years now, and my work with him has been life-changing. With a leg injury that originated from prior poor training techniques and muscular imbalance, I feared I would not be able to run or exercise consistently again. Marcus's approach and individualized attention to my issues helped me not only to rebuild my body in a healthy, balanced way, but also gave me more confidence in myself than I could imagine. I can run long distances again, I can complete pull-ups on my own (something I never thought possible!), and I don't feel like an imposter in a gym or weight room. I cannot speak enough to the dedication and passion Marcus possesses and inspires in his clients. You will never regret your decision to train with him.

Dena Frank

Marcus is such a great personal trainer/wellness advocate. He listens to his clients and creates programs that work for them. He sees the potential in all his clients, no matter their starting point. If you're looking for a customized workout program, not a one size fits all approach, then Marcus is your guy!

Hannah Klay

Marcus has been my trainer for the last year and a half and it has been the best decision I have made both for my physical and mental health. He has an incredible knowledge of fitness and how the body works. 57fit is a incredible community that I am happy to be a part of!

Liz Hoh

Marcus is amazing. I've never been happier about my body than when training with him. He not only trains in the gym, but equips you with knowledge that helps you succeed outside of the gym as well. His continual support is unmatched.

Jasmine Butler

I’ve been working out with Marcus for years now off and on. Something tragic in my life happened and I had to take care of my mental health. Marcus was sad to see me go but supportive because he believes mental health comes FIRST. (I totally agree) When I first had my consultation with Marcus I had all of these goals for my body. I want a bigger butt and I want my stomach to be smaller, etc. Blah Blah Blah. I lost almost 70 pounds while working out with Marcus. During that time I learned how to love myself again. I learned to love my body. I learned to care about the things I put inside of my body. I learned to be happy again. Honestly I didn’t know the first thing about losing weight or being healthy because the background I come from we eat “soul food.” Marcus taught me more then any Nutritionist could ever. We learned things together. As I learned new things, I taught him because at that time I was considered “diabetic.” Marcus took the time to actually teach me. Not only teach me workouts, he taught me different eating habits, etc. The 57Fit community is family for me. We are all different sizes, shapes, shades, etc. We all have different goals but we all support each other no matter the goal. We cheer each other on. We stick together because every day isn’t easy, (especially working out with Marcus). None of us are perfect & we don’t want to be either. Our goal is to be healthy. That may mean something different for each person. In the 57Fit family we are taught to love ourselves, embrace who we are flaws and all. There is NEVER any judgement. We welcome everyone with open arms. I truly enjoying working out with the 57Fit family. Seeing the familiar faces all the time. I enjoy the challenging workouts. I enjoy the the amazing results I get when I actually stay consistent and put the work in. My mom passed away a few years ago at age 45 years old. She wasn’t healthy. She was an obese women with many health problems/issues which comes with the weight. Today my goals are to live longer, to break the family medical health cycle of so many health issues, make a change to be healthier and happier in life. 😁

Marcus makes working out a fun experience! He tailors workouts for your personal needs and really cares about you hitting your goals. I highly recommend him to anyone trying to live a healthy lifestyle! Thanks Marcus!

rachel wallis

The sense of community that Marcus creates is one of the things that makes him amazing at what he does; we laugh together, we struggle together, we encourage each other, we compete and we become better. He’s extremely talented in adapting the workout to an individual’s needs or helping to rebuild from an injury. I’ve worked with Marcus on and off for more than five years and can’t imagine being on this journey with a different trainer.

Jen LoScalzo

I recently started working with Marcus and he is amazing!! He has helped me get back into strength training and do it in a way that works for my body. I have had some injuries in the past and he has shown me the right way to lift so that I don’t hurt myself again. He is also fun to work with. I would highly recommend him!

Shirlonda Keels

Marcus is God sent!!! He caters your workout plan to you and he teaches you about a healthy lifestyle! He is truly educated in health and fitness! Its not about the money for him, its about changing mindsets, creating healthy bodies, obtainable and realistic goals and making sure the results stick!!

Tiffany Ivie

I started with Marcus May 2017. Best decision ever!!! At 57Fit it is not just about losing weight, it is about creating an lifestyle and in the process you become family. Everyone is there to support you on your journey. I have learned to really focus on self care and make healthy choices and along the way I lost about 30 pounds! If you are looking for someone who truly cares about his clients and helping them find a program that works for them, a positive support system and TRUE knowledge of physical fitness...than stop searching and get to 57Fit! You won't be sorry!

Clarissa Leino

Supportive, inclusive work out environment. Highly recommended! Anyone who is looking to increase strength and/or get more fit, check out 57FIT! When I started I was lifting 5-10lbs, now I am able to do 35-165lbs depending on the movement! The best gym experience I’ve ever had. 57FIT will meet you where you’re at and push you farther than you ever thought possible (at your pace ;) Check out 57FIT!

Juliet Nordin

Marcus is so knowledgeable and truly cares for his clients’ successes. I did a couple of online trainings with him and he was constantly checking in and encouraging me to keep going. I would highly recommend him as a personal trainer to anyone, no questions asked!

Ashley Brookins

Marcus is the best! He’s friendly and fun. I have worked with him off and on for several years now and definitely prefer the times when it’s on! I’ve never felt better than when I am training with Marcus. He pushes me further than I ever thought I could go, but also listens when I have concerns about pain or injury and works around it to get me back to feeling great. Couldn’t recommend him more.

Nong Vang

Started out with Marcus knowing absolutely nothing about fitness, now im addicted! And I have to say he made me STRONG!! Improve posture also which made me standing 8 hrs a day much bearable. Always push you pass what your mind tells you that you can't. Great personality and enjoyable to work with. Highly, highly recommend.

Kiyanna

I was very impressed with my experiences with Marcus. He is very knowledgeable. And pushed to accomplish things I didn’t even think I could do. He customized my experience to my needs with me having a bad knee and back. I can’t wait til after I delivery my baby to start up again! Thanks so much for helping me become the confident woman I am now! Your amazing.

catherine hutchison

I have worked with Marcus on and off since 2016 and have always been impressed with his work ethic, ability to tailor workouts to each client's specific needs and goals, and his hunger to know more about his profession. He is always bettering himself by incorporating many different areas of fitness into his training (crossfit, bodybuilding, HIIT training, weightlifting, circuits, etc). He is also very knowledgeable about movement patterns and effective exercises for improving form, strength, and speed. On top of all of that, he is motivating yet understanding, kind, and a genuinely good dude. Highly recommend 57fit for personal training and improving fitness.

Corey Culver

I am a grad student and a single parent so my time is very precious. I hadn’t been physically active for about 4 years and wasn’t feeling like myself anymore. I was also looking for something that I could do with my son. With my schedule so crazy, I went with online training. When I first started with 57Fit, I couldn’t do a plank for longer than 15-20 seconds without my lower back hurting. Through nutrition guidance, excellent communication, and workouts that stay evolving, I have gained a ton of confidence back in my movements and no longer have as much general soreness that came in my mid 30’s... The best part is that Marcus has helped me build a healthy lifestyle that I am passing down to my son. I give 57Fit my full recommendation to anyone looking to start their fitness journey or to anyone looking for something to push them further.

Mary Doof Driver

I have seen Marcus now on two seperate occassions, purchasing 2 packages, and I keep coming back because he is not only a good trainer, he's down to earth and has LISTENED to me and what's going on in my life to make sure I am getting the most out of my sessions. Funny, smart, knowledgeable, and makes EVERYONE i've seen him work with feel COMFORTABLE, no matter where they are at in their journey. He also pushes me, and makes me jump right in...which I love. Highly recommend.

Kalisha Cook

I can’t recommend Marcus Watson & 57 FIT enough whatever your goals might be. He understands where people struggle and will push you at whatever level you’re at. It also helps that many of his other client are great motivators, he works out of a fun gym, and he doesn’t mind if you swear at him or crack a few jokes. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Andrea Kelly

I am doing online training with Marcus, in the short amount of time I have been working with him I have significant results. I am stronger and doing everyday things I thought I had to give up because an injury. I have a new outlook on my health. He is knowledgeable and patient.

JB Lake

If you are on the fence join! If you are just thinking about it join! I promise you wont regret it. I started with the communtiy workouts back and September and I can't express how much Marcus has changed my life! I have never looked or felt this good!

Valerie Marie

Best class I've ever spent money on with Zero regret. This gym has everything you need to work out, plus kind trainers to help you.

I'm LOVING the training so far. It's exactly what I was looking for. The community like atmosphere, dope space, good music (super important!) and of course, the challenging and non-judgemental trainer!

The atmosphere is laid back, the space is welcoming. I look forward to making this my new gym

I love this gym and Marcus is an amazing trainer! I’ve had many trainers in the past but he has been the best. He’s very patience, helps with food, and makes the workout specifically for you. I’m so happy I joined this gym and would 10/10 recommend to anyone who wants to try it.😘😘 …
