Raise The Bar Fitness

We haven't done training with these guys, but from the exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly interactions we had with Jason, I bet they're amazing! We popped into the shop the other day because the front door was open and we had heard that during COVID, they've been selling gym equipment to make ends meet. Previously, my honey bunny had been scouring Craigslist to no avail. Their equipment was very reasonably priced. We were able to get a whole system for cheaper than CL, while supporting a local business, and they delivered it all and set it up for a nominal fee! Super awesome. We'll definitely be back for any fitness or gym related needs -

After months of contemplating if personal training was worth the investment, my partner and I started 2x week joint training sessions with Jason and have honestly never looked back.

Jason structured our trainings around our personal fitness goals and is an excellent (and patient) teacher -- within just a few sessions, I was confident with workouts I never thought I could be capable of. Instead of a tiny confined area in the middle of a loud chaotic gym at a big box chain, I got to end my workdays at a private training studio seeing the same familiar faces each week.

Jason is flexible with scheduling and is overall a great person to spend 2 hours/week with. (Shoutout to him making it a point to watch Physical 100 just so we could talk about new episodes during our sessions!) For anyone looking to get into training & prioritize your wellness, Jason is your guy!

I worked with Jason and Raise The Bar fitness to rent a bicycle for my home rehab post a hip surgery. Not only was Jason responsive, but his willingness to be flexible with my rental needs and timing was great. I appreciate his professionalism during a difficult time. I would highly recommend the company and equipment services!

Gym is extremely well equipped, well maintained, and run by very friendly and helpful people!

Best parts of my week are training days at Raise the Bar! All of the staff are amazing and so welcoming, and I absolutely love the community. The facility has everything you could need for all different styles of workouts and is never over crowded.

Jason is a wonderful trainer who puts so much work and effort into planning around the goals and interests of his trainees. We have been working together for a couple months and I'm noticing a huge difference in my physical and mental strength (also learned it's a C-L-E-A-N not a C-L-I-N-G lol). Jason has such a breadth of knowledge around fitness and is a blast to hang out with. Highly recommend!

Just an addition to my previous review. I just had an annual physical and my total cholesterol and LDL dropped by 20 and 30 points respectively. While I am very cautious with my diet and have almost eliminated red meat, I also attribute this change to my work outs with Max and Daniel at Raise the Bar Fitness. In addition, my recovery heart rate is much faster than when I started at Raise the Bar. Thanks Max and Daniel!

I joined Raise The Bar about 8 months ago. With the pandemic and WFH, I felt like a big blob on my sofa. I wanted to get back in shape and finally take care of myself.
Raise The Bar offers personalized training, I did the first evaluation session with Jason and since then I've been going twice a week.
Jason is probably one of the nicest guys I've met in this city. He's a smart trainer who genuinely cares about people he trains. Jason gives a ton of advice about mobility, strength, nutrition. He taught me basic movements of olympic lifting and I have to say: now I'm hooked.
Jason also tracks progress: volume, body weight, body fat, which is a great way to keep me motivated.
Not only I am much stronger but I've also found a good friend in Jason

Jason is the best! He is really nice and an awesome trainer! I feel really lucky to get to train with him!

I started with Raise the Bar on Judah St. years ago and still continue to go back after any hiatus I've had to take. Each time I go back the gym has improved time and time again. Jason and Nick are hands on and it shows in the quality of equipment and the choice of trainers and services offered. If your looking for a positive outcome and great results to your workouts then Raise the Bar would be great fit for you.

I have been working with Fabian for a few months and not only feel much stronger but just better when I do almost any activity. Fabian is adept at understanding goals and will develop a plan to get you there. The workouts are fun and varied and he will give you just the right amount of push if needed. Fabian is motivating and able to draw from his experience as an athlete to encourage, console and educate. He takes a sincere interest in my well-being both physically and mentally and I really can't say enough...he is my coach, my friend and sometimes my therapist:) Thanks Fabian!
