Reviews of G-Strength (East Kensington)

Michael Polise

I woke up one morning during the pandemic feeling like a pot of noodles. I was an unmotivated and weak shut-in. Then I found G-Strength. G-Strength's formula has been great. Each training session consists of a maximum 6 trainees and an expert fitness coach. Every week, there are multiple curated sessions that target different muscle groups. Additionally, these sessions switch every 6 weeks to ensure the workouts are challenging and fun. The coaches are all excellent and while they push you to be your best, they create a friendly and fun environment. Over the last year I have gained community, motivation, and strength. I've surpassed my max lifts in all areas and established further personal goals. I've learned what a good community looks like while making a bunch of new friends.

I joined G-Strength after I finished physical therapy for my back this spring. Coming here is so much better than I could have imagined. The programs are easy to follow while still being interesting. All the trainers are fantastic. They are knowledgeable, supportive, and encouraging without pressuring (shout out to Jared, he's awesome!). The members are great and add to the sense of community. Despite my back issues (which have improved through working out here), I'm the strongest I've been since high school and I definitely could not have done it without the support and guidance from G-strength.

Sara Beth Arancio

Joining G-Strength was one of the best decisions I have made! As a retired college athlete I have been searching for a workout program and environment I truly enjoy and I have found that at G-Strength. All the coaches have been welcoming and the individualized attention has made me feel more confident with my lifts which has translated to me not being afraid to pick up heavier weights each week. I look forward to all my workouts sessions and am excited to go to the gym again. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to change their mindset on working out and challenge themselves.

I can't recommend G-Strength enough. I've been going to this gym for about 7 months now and it has been the best gym experience I've ever had. Jared, G, and the rest of the team do a great job creating work out plans that are challenging and give you an opportunity to progress and reach your goals. The workouts feel personalized. They have a couple of different programs you can work through, depending on what you're looking to accomplish and how much experience you have. Something else I really appreciate is that they adjusted my workouts to help me work some minor injuries I had outside of the gym. Jared and G worked to accomodate me while I was recovering when I otherwise probably would have just skipped. I was a weight lifting novice before coming to G-Strength. I still have a ton to learn, but the team does a fantastic job of explaining what you're doing, what you should be feeling, and giving you feedback. I am way more confident in the gym now than when I started, and I definitely feel like I am getting stronger and feeling better. And best of all, it's just a great environment. The gym is unpretentious, positive, clean, and never overly crowded (there are usually around 5-7 people working out at the same time). I have had such a great experience with G-Strength. Not only am I feeling better and getting stronger, but I have met some great people at the gym and have enjoyed working with them. Everyone has been really cool and supportive, especially the staff. If you're in the area and looking for a gym, you need to at least give G-Strength a try.

After moving into the neighborhood, I had been exploring a few different gyms to change up the routine from primarily working out at home since the pandemic. I was intrigued by the concept of G-Strength and the ability to workout in a group setting with a personal training element. Most of my workout routine has consisted of the Peloton, running, or group classes such as barre, boxing, etc. so strength training was not something I was as familiar with, which initially felt intimidating. Not knowing what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised that from the moment I visited for my consultation, I felt extremely comfortable and welcome. I signed up for the month trial and after the first class, I knew this is something I wanted to continue and a community I wanted to be a part of. The trainers are not only extremely knowledgeable, catering the work out to each individual needs and ensuring the moves are done properly, but also, incredibly friendly and motivating. After the first class, I really looked forward to going back knowing that it would be a new challenge but fun at the same time. Overall, it’s an incredibly relaxed and “go at your own pace” vibe, which I appreciate. My sister and I have developed a routine of going together 2x/week and we are both loving the gym, approach to fitness and community. Highly recommend to anyone at any fitness level!

Jeremy Pope

When I came to this gym, I was greeted with open arms and welcomed. After an assessment, I was asked what my goals were; after that they set up a plan for success. Having all facets in house (physical therapist, nutritionist, well adapted trainers) all I had to do was the work. After more than 100 sessions I am still getting stronger and I love that. Hands down the best gym I have ever joined and it’s not priced out of the game. You guys and gals rock! Keep up the good work. Big Pope

Tori MacMillan

I joined the gym to maintain my progress after PT and have grown so much more since joining. The staff is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but wonderfully personable. I’m able to progress and meet my goals, and have also gained much better strength training know-how and skill. I can’t recommend G-Strength enough. The trainers and community of members are wonderful, and we have a tons of fun alongside our training.

Tilman Borhan

The best strength workout in Philly. If you are looking for a class focused on small-group training, then you need to check this place out! Giancarlo, Jared & Zach are strength training professionals. They focus on each person's needs and help them achieve their goals by consistently checking in and providing feedback. I have done many workout classes in the past, and I can confidently say G-Strength is next level. You will not be disappointed.

Neil Prendergast

I've never been one to really prioritize fitness or training until earlier this year when I decided to try G-Strength to focus on weight training and mobility, and it's been nothing but a fantastic experience. All of the trainers are incredibly welcoming, and they've done a fantastic job of building a like-minded community at the East Kensington location. No matter what your skill set is coming in, they will work with you to build proper form and mechanics to start progressing quickly toward your fitness goals. I highly recommend this gym for anyone in the area.

Amol Waishampayan

Love the trainers and workouts from this gym. The trainers and coaches are actually active and very attentive vs. “life guards” just observing and being there. A great way for newbies and intermediates to get into weight and resistance training. If you’re not sure what to do at a traditional gym and how to get started in the weight room, I highly recommend starting here instead.

Haley LaMontagne

G Strength is a fantastic workout program! The trainers are both knowledgeable and creative and they’re quick to adapt the workouts to suit your specific goals. Jared is fun to work with and shows genuine enthusiasm for his clients. They offer morning and evening classes so no matter your schedule you can find a class that works for you!

Richard D'Antonio

I started at G-Strength because I always struggled to have the motivation to go to the gym and it felt more like a chore than anything else. The coaches and program here changed all that for me. It starts out extremely approachable and ramps up as quickly as you can handle it. The coaches are all patient, attentive, and knowledgeable. I've primarily been working with Jared recently and he's been exceptional in identifying weak areas and helping strengthen my form and exercise variations that will help me succeed. The small group format (6-7 max) ensures that everyone gets the attention they need from the coaches and fosters a great sense of camaraderie as we all progress.

Jennifer Lee

This is an amazing gym with amazing instructors! Strength training can be intimating but the staff here (shoutout Jared and Zach) are super helpful and encouraging for all levels. I joined with zero strength training experience and have found G-Strength really helped my overall confidence and health since joining. Can’t say enough great things about this place, highly recommend!

Jesse Perlstein

Amazing gym and fitness program! After falling out of regular strength training the past few years, G-Strength has exceeded my expectations in getting myself back into shape and beyond. It's been several months since joining and I have already set new PRs in multiple lifts. The scheduling is easy and flexible, the equipment and tailored routines are top-notch, and the small group training is a much better experience than waiting to use equipment at a crowded gym. Every trainer I've worked with - Jared, Gi, Tyler - have been incredible and have cultivated a friendly, motivational environment to work out in!

F .Balane

I found out about G-Strength through a quick Google search after moving into the neighborhood. I needed a gym where I can learn and get guidance from trainers and after reading all the glowing reviews, I knew I had to do at least a consultation visit. After doing the consultation and finishing the trial session, I'm officially a member! From Day 1, the G-Strength team (shoutout to G and Jared) have all been so helpful and have really motivated me to start my fitness journey. Their workout programs are customizable and can be tailored to your goals. And the trainers do an awesome job of making sure you get individualized attention and helpful advice during each session so that you’re continuing to grow and improve on your workouts. 10/10 would absolutely recommend this gym!

Shelly Verma

I’m new to both G-Strength and strength training in general (recovering cardio fiend looking to round out my routine), and it’s been a great experience! As a beginner, I can absolutely say that the trainers are nothing but approachable, helpful & encouraging (especially Jared!) and I always walk away feeling like I learned something, & excited to come back. Good vibes and music in the studio help tremendously too. Happy to be a member & would highly recommend the gym to anyone in the area!

Jenny Bagley

G-Strength is G-Reat! I have arthritis in my neck from an old injury and have attempted to weight train on my own but frequently ended up hurting myself. Jared has helped me gain a significant amount strength and balance in a short amount of time. The classes are small and friendly and I am feeling changes in my posture and overall health. Very thankful this gym was recommended to me!

Casey Lynch

I’ve been going go G strength for about 6 weeks now and I am already so impressed with my results! As a woman, weightlifting can be intimidating but I feel so comfortable & empowered at G strength. I used to hate the gym but now I always look forward to going and my body feels amazing. All the trainers are awesome and so helpful. Can’t say enough great things! 🙏🏼

Justin Heulitt

After about 15 years of sporadic training and no motivation to be consistent, I came to a point where I realized I needed to make a change to better myself and get back into some sort of shape. Thankfully I walked by G-Strength in East Kensington one day and decided to check it out. The gym and trainers have provided me with everything I was lacking… motivation, a friendly atmosphere, and guidance needed to improve. To say I look forward to 6AM training is mind blowing, but Ty and now Jared are always there with a friendly smile, positive vibe, helpful knowledge and extra push to see you meet your goals. For me, it has been the best decision in keeping me motivated, and I really love the supportive, commmunity environment. I highly recommend this gym.

Briana Shields

I’ve been coming to G-Strength East Kensington since March of 2022 and it was my best decision of the year! The past 8 months I have seen my body change not only building muscle and feeling stronger but helping with my mental health too! Gian and his team of trainers are the best. I’ve been mostly working with Jared and he is extremely welcoming, patient and knowledgeable about all things strength training and push’s us to what we are comfortable with! Not to mention other gym goers, all are so friendly! I really enjoy the small class size too! Up to 6 ppl can join a class :) Cheers to G-Strength and Looking forward to what the new year will bring!

Nick Devlin

A great workout in a really supportive environment. The trainers are helpful, and, with group training, you get just the right amount of attention. They're not hovering over you, but they're always there when you need an assist. Highly recommend for anyone at any level of weight training.

Paige Dixon

G-Strength is great gym no matter what level you’re at! You’ll be challenged and supported by G, Jared, and the rest of the attentive staff. The community vibe is strong as you get to know the people you start seeing week in and week out.

Zoe Goldberg

I’m in my third month as a G-Strength client and it is by far the best gym experience I’ve ever had. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and meet you where you are — I had relatively little strength training experience before joining and have been taught safe and sound fundamentals, while also being encouraged to do more than I thought I could. If you are looking for a serious program in an unpretentious and inclusive setting, this is the place for you!

R. Tina Tuli

So I have been a member since 2018 and G and his staff continue to impress me. At first I used to believe that I could only train with G, then he hired Ty and I became committed to working out with Ty and now I work out in Daniel’s classes. Gian’s ability to hire and cultivate a gym experience is like no other and the main reason I keep coming back even though I moved deep into the suburbs. The sense of community is strong and addictive - there is zero shame in this environment, only a strong commitment to improvement from the coaching team and other members. On the physical front, I am pretty sure these workouts helped me overcome post partum depression and isolation after my second kid and helped me rebound quicker after my third. Although I am not an athlete or in the best shape of my life, I believe I will get there with this team in no time.

Brandon Bussiere

G-Strength is the exact environment I was looking for. The small group personal training is the perfect blend of direction, attention, and intensity but with a fun vibe and a feeling of togetherness. Coaches will work with you regardless of your strength levels to dial in the perfect workout for your body. I cannot recommend this place enough and am so happy I decided to join.

Jim Ackley

G-Strength is great! Such a big change from the normal gym experience: - The trainers are knowledgable, patient, and helpful. The trainers are more than willing to offer alternative lifts and movements based on your needs. - The programming is challenging but very achievable for beginners. If you're following the program and lifts, you're getting your heart rate up and feeling it. - The small-group setting gives you the best of both worlds. With only 5 other class members, you get much more personalized attention than you would with a larger class, but you don't feel like you're being micromanaged or watched 100% of the time. The trainers keep an eye on you, call out things when they see them, but also let you work on your own if that's what you want. - The trainers work *with* you to help you meet your goals. When you're ready, they'll help you advance. Shoutout to Ty for all the help and guidance so far! - You pick your class times and track strength progress with apps on your phone. This makes it very easy to signup for or switch classes based on your schedule. - Giancarlo (the owner) is a genuinely nice guy. He took the time to answer all my questions before I started my trial, and he actively trains several classes each week. Whether you're new to lifting or have been lifting for years, G-Strength is a great place to get the guidance and coaching you need to meet your strength training goals.

Jeremy Hill

For someone who hasn't been to a gym to workout in over 10 years I was hesitant to get back into fitness. I must say that the staff at G-Strength made it an incredibly easy transition for me. The trainers are knowledgeable and very friendly, the other members are welcoming, and most importantly the way this gym works is ideal for me. I don't have money to shell out for personal training sessions so the 6 person max classes make it ideal to get the 1 on 1 attention you need at a group price. I joined for the trial just to test it out and see how I liked it, and after the first week I had made up my mind. Having a 1 on 1 consultation with Gian was super helpful as well - as someone with a long list of injuries we went over every single one and built out a program that would not have any negative effects on my body. Now, a month in, I actually get excited when I wake up at 630 to go work out. I plan on being a member for a long time and would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to be more active but doesn't really know anything about it.

Patrick Horan

I love the team at G-Strength in Kensington and would recommend this gym to my family and friends. The gym itself is top notch. The equipment is all top of the line. Workouts are energized by a great sound system. The instructors are very knowledgable and professional. They adapt each workout to fit the clients goals and needs. I have a teenage son that is a client, and the instructors take the time to make sure form and technique are correct. While my son is one of the younger members of the gym, they have included him in many of the community building actives such at the gym's fantasy football league. I really love that they take the time to focus on the community they are building. Looking forward to being a long term client at G-Strength!

Spencer vH

I've been training 3x per week at G-Strength since June 2021. While I did the best I could with limited equipment at home while everything was locked down, I was looking for a gym that didn't only had equipment but also had the knowledge and trainers that could help me establish a healthy routine. Now coming up on my 50th session, I can safely say I could not have achieved the kind of growth, results and knowledge that I have gained now if I had stayed working out at home or signed up for a standard monthly gym. Gian, Tyler and the other staff have been great about pushing me to do more than I thought I could do and have an enjoyable, safe and comfortable experience despite everything else going on in the world. I would (and have) highly recommend G-Strength to anyone either looking to start their strength training journey or establish themselves at a new gym after a significant layoff due to the pandemic.

Michael Fisher

I signed up at G-strength with my girlfriend heading into the new year. It has been great so far. The equipment and the space itself are top notch. The training is on point too. They are able to meet you at your fitness level and give you progressions/regressions when needed. We look forward to going and get a good workout every time!

Kaitlin Connell

The newer and larger location for G-Strength is awesome! I love the small and intimate classes with so many class times throughout the day. I recently moved back to Philly, and signing back up for G-Strength was at the time of my list. The gym is clean, equipment sanitized, masks worn, and distance kept. Each trainer is personable and attentive, modifying any part of the workout you need. It’s a gym that’s created for and welcoming of any fitness level! I cannot recommend enough!

Chris Pirone

I do not personally train there but I film for their marketing purposes. Every time I've been there for work I have been impressed by the safety guidelines they have stood by throughout the pandemic. They take safety for their clients very seriously. Making sure all attendees are masked and properly distanced from one another. As well as a very well kept and clean workout environment.

fernkitty

My son played high school baseball and had been looking for a personal trainer that could help him build muscle and strength without injury, someone who really knew what they were talking about. Giann and his crew were been amazing! My son gained muscle and more importantly, confidence, which helped him transition into college ball. I never saw someone so excited about going to the gym! The classes are small and the training personalized. It's a great, positive environment for athletes and anyone looking to improve their body. It's been such a great experience, I joined too!

Atiya Pope

THE SCIENCE OF IT ALL! I have found this gym to be a great place that that is professional. After I was assessed so that they could see where I was physically, I had an actual conversation about what they offer in comparison to my overall fitness goals. I received an explanation of what the programs are and how the moves work together. I am big on communication and working in concert to achieve goal and thus far, I am beyond satisfied. Are the workout programs challenging, yes because they want you to be great! Do they stress proper form so that no injury occurs, yes, because well its important. Do they continually encourage you, yes, because they want to assist you in reaching your goals. What is important to me is that they listen and respond to their client's needs without hesitation in addition to communicating with each other. I highly recommend this gym.

Fusun Dikengil

I had a great experience at G-Strength! I came from some moderate experience with lifting and exercises and was looking for a program that would help optimize the correct form and structure for the workouts I was doing on my own. The team at G strength was so friendly and helpful, my instructors took the time to answer all my questions and monitor my form and offered advice to avoid injury and increase focus. I had a great time and really looked forward to my workouts. Highly recommend!

Danielle Liberman

G-strength not only is a great workout, but it is a great community where people are truly excited, energized, and happy to be there. It is also the only workout studio I have ever been to in which people are excited to work out at 5AM and 6AM. While many other group classes also provide a good workout, G-strength is different in many ways, especially that the class sizes are small (typically 2-3 people), there are 1-2 trainers who are helping people with form and providing advice, and there is a genuine interest in making sure people have the correct form, and are pushing themselves. This training truly stands out, and is exceptional.

Sterling Wilson

Best strength training gym in the city. Been wish these guys since 2017 and so stoked on their new location! Gian the owner will take good care of you.

Peyton Gibson

I'm new to Philly and joined G-Strength after a year out of the gym because of COVID-- this gym is great about being COVID-safe while getting in an effective workout! I also have an old injury and the trainers have been fantastic at getting me back in shape & strong safely. I also love the apps they use to track your progress and appointment booking is very easy with all the time slots they have. There are folks training at all levels here and I always feel comfortable and have fun!

Gabriela Thomas

I found G-Strength on Instagram this past spring and quickly grew interested in the gym. Their welcoming and supportive atmosphere is perfect for anyone looking to gain strength and fitness. Personally, I am a competitive rower. I started rowing and lifting in college on a D1 team. My strength and conditioning coach at my university not only pushed me to be the strongest that I can be, but gave me a deep appreciation for strength training. I realized that much of my rowing success correlated to how i lift and carry weight in the weight room. After college, I struggled to find a gym where I could continue lifting like I did in college. But then I finally found G-Strength! I’ve been training at the gym for 3-4 months now and I can really feel myself getting stronger. The training here is purposeful. It’s been exciting to find a such a supportive and fun place to train! Lastly, I’d say the trainers and clients here make it easy to look forward to coming into the gym. I’m literally always looking forward to my next session. Everyone stays positive and the trainers make it a point to have some kind of connection with every individual athlete/person that comes into the gym. If you are looking to improve your fitness, push yourself, meet new friends, and add more purpose behind your training, I suggest you give G-Strength a chance!

David Medway

I've been working out with the trainers at G-Strength at the original location in Queen Village for over a year and really love it. I've started to mix in sessions at the new Kensington location and they deliver at the same level. G-Strength is an entirely different workout experience than any other program I have ever participated in. The trainers do a ton of work to offer a comprehensive training program that is regularly adjusted to make sure nothing gets stale and the gains continue. Their commitment to their clients is unmatched. Whatever your goals are, they will do whatever they can to help you accomplish them.

Milo Mills

You would be crazy not to try G-Strength. The community that all the coaches create is amazing. All the people in the workout are there to support you and be a person to talk to on your rests between sets. The workouts are on the smaller side so you can get more one on one attention. Also you can learn from the other people in your workout. Shout-out to the Kensington location people! Hope to see you at a workout!

Lisa Stoner

The queen village location is fantastic! My son has been working out 2x a week for the last 3 months. I’ve seen a difference and so has he! He loves the trainers, the workout and small class size. It’s truly a gem. I highly recommend!!

Frederick Santarelli

For an old guy in his 50s who worked out with heavy iron in teens and 20s, I was skeptical about this kind of new way of fitness. I was wrong, and thank my son for dragging me into G Strength and this new (for me) way of working out. Gian and Ty recognize you individually, learn and are interested in my goals as an old guy, and customize the workout level for what I need while being appropriately mindful of my limitations, and giving me the right direction for the right amount of challenge. I’m feeling younger physically to the point I fear I will revert to meathead days! Ha!! But seriously, these are good decent people running this place. And also just as refreshing are the other clients I am meeting and getting to know. all good decent people and a breath of fresh air. Highly recommended for old guys who want to feel younger — not only physically, but socially from interacting with the younger people. And Ty’s mix of interest in music, and the mix of other people, is truly refreshing for the mind, spirit and body. A great positive experience and way to start any day. Add some old school music once in a while and I predict the younger folks will enjoy that too.

Jack Milligan

Was looking to find a gym that could help me with strength training & mobility. Suffer from an ankle injury that has limited my workouts and knew I needed some guidance and routine. Tyler has been awesome in helping me regain strength and learn better exercise form so that I don’t re-injure myself. Always leave feeling great

Liz Mincer

G-Strength provides a team atmosphere with individualized attention and tailored workouts. All of the trainers are fabulous; they are attentive and knowledgeable, and care about your progress. No matter your "level," there is a workout for you because everything can be modified. You will sweat and your muscles will be sore, but you just keep coming back!

Marquita Danzy

I've truly enjoy training at G-Strength! The trainers are extremely knowledgeable, professional, helpful and an all around joy to train with/funny in their own rights. Lol!!! The personalities are unique but so similar! Lol! I love that they challenge me, allow me to challenge myself, give on the spot correction/tips/ideas while allowing me to flow through the program. I love the apps they use to track your progress as well as communicate with clients. Great place! I definitely recommend. Fine family fun for all!! 🤣💪🏾

Lisa Cannarella

I recommend G-Strength so highly that 5 stars aren't enough. Instead of taking my word for it, I'd like to provide a more objective criteria to help you determine if G-Strength is for you. If you find yourself identifying with the characteristics below, which is the description of me before G-Strength, then run - don't walk - to joining G-Strength ASAP. -You have wasted money with memberships and equipment to try getting into working out, but yo-yoed back and forth and never found anything that drove you to be consistent. I'm talking Planet Fitness, City Fitness, T25, P90X, Peloton, classpass, apps, at-home videos and exercise equipment like dumbbells. Despite having the means and desire to do it, nothing ever worked for you and you figure you're the problem. -You need external motivation to show up. Working out at home in your living room has no real pressure and no accountability. It's so easy not to do it. -You hate the boredom of walking into a gym with no plan. One can only cardio on a treadmill or elliptical for so long. So lame. -You envy weight lifting and think it looks really cool and fun, but you don't know how to do it or how to start learning. You've looked into YouTube videos and online articles but thought it's too complicated and the risk of hurting yourself is too high. -You're driven by positive feedback loops - the better you do and more progress you see, the more you're motivated to stick with things. If this sounds like you, G-Strength offers a solution to each one of these aspects. The coaching and attention you get is that of a 1:1 personal training which is WAY expensive. A normal person could not afford it. At G-Strength, you get the same result for a very reasonable price for the value you're getting. The coaches work with you individually and learn YOU - your personality, your strengths and weaknesses, your goals, etc. They expect that you show up - not to attend some group "class" - but that you show up for yourself and your own days and times. There's nothing "class-like" about it other than that there are other people there sometimes, but everyone is doing their own thing. The workout protocol is varied and interesting - you never dread going. In fact, you look forward to it (I swear). Before you know it, you notice progress in your form and that certain exercises that used to be hard or uncomfortable now feel easy or second nature. If you want to break the cycle and finally start feeling fit, strong, motivated, and proud of yourself, do yourself a favor and join. I'm nearly 100% sure that you won't regret it and you'll stick to it. Invest in yourself and give it a try, you'll be surprised and pleased with the results.

Kyle Aguilar

I work out here three times a week and having the attention of the trainers here is amazing. The workouts never get boring and the trainers are fun and encouraging. It’s my first time doing a lot of these exercises (mostly barbell work) and they make sure you are ready, have good form, and are comfortably challenged before progressing.

Klyde Breitton

Giancarlo and the trainers here are great! I've never really been to the gym before but they've been extremely welcoming. They also give back what you put in, I like to push myself and they all encourage me in the best way.

Armaan Nathani

G-Strength is an absolute gem of a gym and is a must go for anyone looking to join an awesome community in addition to investing in their health. The concept of small group personal training may seem counterintuitive at first, but after the initial group session you immediately begin to understand why folks repeatedly return for their sessions. The trainers are warm, welcoming, detail oriented, and kind. The space is always sparkling clean. most importantly, the workouts are intense and rewarding. I can’t say enough about the owner Giancarlo and his crew. They took the time to understand how my body is calibrated and helped me achieve my fitness goals in a manner that was safest for me. I can’t wait to see them grow alongside the neighborhood.

Pilar Guerrero

I really recommend G-Strength whether you're a beginner or experienced! The coaches are really knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly.

Luis

Just started and the vibes are off the charts. Gian, Tyler, and Jared have been amazing to work with. Perfect size gym, super clean, and great energy from everyone attending each class.

Dante Gleason

I've been working out with Gian for over 3 years now, and I've made so much more progress than I could have thought possible. Every time I'm there, he challenges me to do something bigger than last time. For the first time I actually like to work out! The community he and the team have built is amazing - whenever I'm working out, the rest of the class is cheering each other on to succeed and continue building themselves. It's so comforting for someone who was previously intimidated by the gym. I can't say enough good things about this gym or its impact on me - highly recommend!

Alexander Weiner

This is a great gym with knowledgeable trainers. The small groups each workout is broken out into make for a personable training session to perfect your form and burn your muscles. This was my first experience in any sort of personal training environment and I really enjoyed it.

Tonianne Pisano

As a newbie to Philly and strength training altogether, the staff and community at G-Strength make me feel right at home. G, Ty, and Savannah are fantastic trainers and are super thorough with their instruction. The atmosphere couldn’t be more welcoming and never thought I’d feel so comfortable so fast. Absolutely love it! 💯 …

Dom Primerano

Gian, Tyler, and the staff at G-Strength are great. Unlike many other gyms, they do not allow you to just start training, but require you to go through an assessment to answer any questions you may have and also make sure they are aware of your limitations, injuries, flexibility, etc. The small group personal training class design is perfect for everyone, regardless of how much experience you have.

I usually frequent the QV location but on a couple occasions I checked out the Kensington location. The Kensington location is perfect. First off, it’s an awesome location with relatively easy parking. The space is bright with natural light but a cool industrial vibe. Trainer Ty was there on my visits and as always he was helpful and engaged. The gym was spacious, clean and had everything I needed for a fulfilling workout. I’ve been with G-Strength for nearly 2 years and it has been the best gym experience I’ve ever had. The spaces, trainers and workouts are on point.

Idek where to start G and Ty and the rest of the team are the best trainers in Philly. When I joined G Strength I was a 140 lb skinny ahh teenager now after almost 3 years (I think) I’m up to 200 lbs and more confident (mentally and physically) than ever. I started lifting for high school baseball but the team at G Strength has sparked a love for lifting that I know will last longer than my playing career.

I love the individualized attention with these small group classes the coaches provide. This is definitely not a $10 a month, set it and forget about it gym. They schedule, create weekly workouts, and consistently check your numbers to see you are hitting hour goals. I’ve only been here for a month, but I’m already seeing results. Their commitment to the fine details with technique, cadences, and overall gym vibe really sets it apart from other gyms. Definitely worth checking out!

Different perspective here! My 15 year old son became interested in health and strength to supplement his soccer training and prepare for future career goals. After some recommendations from friends at the Queen Village gym we were excited to discover there is a Kensington location! As a mother, I was most concerned about the culture of a gym. My son was looking to get stronger but also learn good habits, build confidence and most importantly be safe. After meeting Giancarlo and going through the initial intake I couldn't have been more impressed. He was kind, knowledgeable and eager to answer all of our questions. My son has been training with Gian now for a couple of months and loves it. He's eating better (more, a lot more), sleeping better and is overall feeling really good about his progress. The small classes really allow for personal attention from the trainers. And the daily workouts focus on form as well as progress. The Kensington gym location is new and is tucked away in an old milk warehouse just above Fishtown. It's a super easy walk right up the EL. And if you're lucky, you'll get to see Gian's dog Mongo while you're there. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend G-Strength.

This place is one of the best small class gyms I have ever been to. The trainers are incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. You can be at any level of experience of training. These guys have trained high level D1 athletes to people who have never lifted a weight in their life. Cannot recommend this place enough

G-Strength in Kensington is great. Tyler is one of the best trainers I have ever met. Everyone has been professional, understanding and extremely knowledgeable. Their system is helpful even to myself who has not done much strength training in the past.

Jessica Anasti

G strength is literally the weight lifting gym for everyone. Every trainer you encounter is extremely knowledgeable and meets you where you are. I have NEVER lifted weights and received one on one guidance and expert training without judgement! Highly highly recommend!!!!!!!!!

J Mathew

Great gym, good sized space, tons of equipment and great trainers. Highly recommend!

Monica DiDonato

Gian and the staff at G-Strength are top notch. My son, who is 13, has been going there to train since September and is seeing amazing results. The whole staff is beyond knowledgable and professional and make working out something to look forward too!!

Molly Drazin

This place is the best! As a newbie to weight training I’ve felt welcomed and empowered by all the trainers and I always feel safe and receive the instruction and assistance that I need for each exercise. And most importantly after just a few weeks I am feeling stronger! Thanks G-strength!

Joseph Galasso

Great gym! Gian and staff are very knowledgeable on strength and conditioning. They do a great job at showing exercises and explain why you’re doing them to ensure maximum reward from working out.

Thomas Hillhouse

Very impressive training studio - G-Strength Kensington has all the equipment and expertise a newbie like me would need. I've been very impressed with the knowledge and professionalism of the staff. They customize the workouts to your needs and set attainable goals. I'm really glad they moved into Kensington as I'm already noticing improvements in my strength and conditioning. Thank you!

Kevin Dugan

Just started last month but really enjoying the work outs. Small groups but work at your own pace. Not overly crowded or intense which is just up my alley. Highly recommend for someone like me looking to get back in shape!

Ally Lizzie

Excellent Gym, The instructors are extremely knowledgeable, highly motivated, and awesome people to be around. It’s the best gym I have ever been to.

I was originally working out at the queen village location but have recently moved to the Kensington location. This gym is absolutely stacked, the equipment is top notch and the coaches/training are great. Best gym in Kensington.

Nicole Enderica

Great new location! I usually workout at their Queen Village location but this one quickly has gained my heart. Same great staff, small classes that make it accessible and comfortable for everyone to workout. Amazing sense of community too. Love it here!

Michele Fullwood

G-Strength is definitely a GAME CHANGER!!! This is where you come when you want to take your strength training to the next level. PERIOD.

Michaela Taylor

Great trainers, good quality equipment, and workouts tailored to what you personally want from the programs. I went in the first week with no confidence in being able to lift heavy, and after a few weeks, I broke my own record. :)

Cheick Diawara

I appreciate the great folks over at G Strength because as a college athlete, the fear is when you go home for breaks, you won’t be able to train at high level. The coaches here make it their business to teach continuously throughout the sessions. Highly recommended

dedrick parson

Great gym with professional people that will help you achieve your body goals. This place is clean and easy to get to. This gym welcomed me with open arms.

Kevin Quintanilla

Despite only having been here a couple weeks, the environment, information, and coches provided are truly great. It allows for true results to occur while enjoying every bit of the work. The structure of the group sessions is not only effective but personal as well. It’s genuinely turned into something I look foward to every week.

Erik Borgia

I started working out in Queen Village with all the same workers as in Kensington and each one pushes me to be the best I can. They have a great program and the equipment in Kensington is elite.

Ryan Scott Kerr

Great experience with a dedicated strength training program. Definitely feeling results and muscle increasing after 2 months with the program. Great staff and equipment, highly recommended.

Edgar Ralff

All the trainers are great, very engaged and helpful. Even though there’s are 4-6 people per class, I feel like I’m getting personal training.

Emily Smith

I’ve loved my experience at G-Strength! The training is customized to fit your needs and the atmosphere is fantastic!

Kamil YİLMAZ
