DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT!

I trained with Obi 6 days a week for 10 months. When I first joined I was completely out of shape. Obi changed my life and I owe everything to him. Obi is one of the most down to earth, intelligent, thoughtful, passionate, and truly good people I have ever met. Obi believes in fitness for longevity and he programs his workouts with serious thought to make sure he balances strength and conditioning needs while challenging you mentally to push yourself. He makes you want to learn how to be fit so that if he wasn’t there for you, you could figure out what to do on your own. His gym has no ego. After 10 months I am now in the best shape of my life but more than that, because of Obi’s training and the love he instilled in me for fitness, I am confident I will keep off the weight and be in great shape for the rest of my life. I will never leave The Partners Gym as long as Obi runs it. Any health or fitness advice Obi gives is backed by immense research and deep thought. I’m deeply grateful for everything Obi has taught me, and I encourage any current or new members to trust his process.
I don't think you will find a trainer who is more invested in you and your long term health than Obi. He bases his workouts on research proven methodologies, not on fads or what is going to be easy to sell. My drive to be the healthiest and fittest I can be as a 57 year old woman is powered by what I have learned from Obi and through Obi. He probably knows more about every members' ability than we do ourselves. I can honestly say, if you don't check out this gym, you are doing yourself and your family a huge disservice. You are not allowing yourself the full life (now and later) that Obi's fitness plan gives you. Beyond Obi, you will find a gym filled with amazing men and women, who cheer you on, inspire you, make you laugh, and who push you when you just want to stop. I love this place more than I can ever express.
The Partners Gym has truly changed my life. Previously, I was a member at one of those chain gyms and would workout sporadically or not at all. However, The Partners Gym came along and changed the game. The gym is super clean, spacious, and the owner, Obi has a passion for what he does. He is positive, energetic and a pleasure to be around. He also teaches some of the best classes the gym has to offer. Class sizes are small and can still give you the workout you're looking for. Check out the smoothie bar too! Obi makes homemade nut butters and stays away from all the junk that's out there. This is all to say that I now go to the gym about 4-5 times a week. This gym is worth every penney and I don't regret making the investment in myself! Bravo to the Partners Gym!!
Partners Gym is by far the best gym I've ever been to. Obi and the other trainers are amazing. I could never imagine going back to a traditional gym after experiencing a workout at Partners. The trainers put incredible workouts together and do an excellent job of coaching you through them, whether it be correcting your form or just motivating you to push yourself harder. Also, they make the best smoothies you will ever have! The quality of the ingredients they use are unmatched. For example, Obi makes his own hazelnut spread because he feels Nutella has too much sugar. Who else thinks of things like that? Nobody. Just Obi!
Partners Gym is the most amazing place. From the workouts to the people, Obi has everything figured out for the perfect and enjoyable workout. I look forward to coming home from school on the weekends so I can go to Partners Gym. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Obi also caters to people of all ages and sizes. Everyone should workout here!
