"The Exercise Coach has great staff. During these difficult times I feel very good going there knowing that due to the small size of the facility, that everything, and all the equipment will be safe for me to use. They go out of their way to make sure that that is the case.
I would recommend anyone that feels the need to get back in shape go there, give it some time, and you’ll be rewarded greatly."

The Exercise Coach - Cos Cob updated their business hours.
"I have always worked out hard, but due to a knee injury I had to find a workout that was kinder to my body. I stumbled upon The Exercise Coach and at first I was skeptical that two 20 minute workouts a week would be enough to give me the results I wanted. After 3 months, I was stronger with much better muscle definition. My Coach Jim, took the time to understand my fitness goals so that the workout program fits my unique needs. He also ensures my workouts are challenging, with lots of motivational coaching, encouragement, and positive reinforcement.
The data-driven machines track my progress and show graphs of past performance. The Exercise Coach also has a machine that scans your body and tracks your weight, body fat, and lean mass so that you can stay on target. The Metabolic Comeback Nutrition Challenge ensures you are eating a balanced healthy diet to compliment the workouts.
All in all, the facility is super clean, the coaches are wonderful, and I feel great!"

"I love my trainers at The Exercise Coach. They are very supportive and always push me to do more than I think I can do. They take a personal interest in me.
The machines are great. I never have to worry if I'm using too much or too little weight, because the resistance technology does it for me. The 20 min workouts 2 x a week fit perfectly into my schedule, and when I'm done I still feel like I did when I spent an hour at a regular gym. The small studios and limited number of clients during each session are a bonus because I'm not self conscious that I'm being watched or judged.
The entire Exercise Coach team offers additional ways to better your health like with their Metabolic Comeback Challenge.
In just 2 months I've gotten stronger, lost inches, and started focusing on my nutrition. I feel better and have more energy than I've had in 14 years."

The Myth of Spot Reduction is believing you can work muscles in a certain area of the body to reduce the body fat in that area. This is like saying that you can take a bucket, walk up to an inground swimming pool, and scoop water only out of the deep end. It doesn't work that way. You can empty the pool by draining the water, but the shallow end will be emptied before the deep end. In this episode, learn the "First On, Last Off" principal when it comes to body shape, and how the combination of whole-effort exercise + whole-food nutrition approach will lead to not only a healthy rebuilding of your body from the inside out, but a dramatic improvement to your overall health and disease risk.
