Testimonials

I can say without hesitation that this is one of the best training programs that I have done! This is not your standard gym; the owner truly cares about your well being and progress. How many gyms owners know you by name? I have tried many gyms over the years and they are all the same. Joe’s personal touch and experience guides you through his workouts. What truly impresses me is the fact that since I started there 6 months ago, I have not done the same workout since. Every workout is truly different and workouts are laid out for you and let you focus on the training.
There is a misconception out there that you have to train for hours on end to achieve results. This is high intensity training that lets you start and finish your workout in an hour. What are you waiting for?

Joe, I want to let you know how thankful I am for everything you’ve done for me in these past months. Not only has the BMSfit program given me more physical strength it has also taught me the value of mental strength is well. You are an amazing trainer and have a great thing going with the BMSfit System. No matter what happens throughout my journey in life I will always remember and value our time we shared!!

Christine Broughton

Joe has introduced a new sophistication and professional approach to my training. No more wasted hours in a gym being bored and seeing little results.  When you add his personal enthusiasm and caring into the mix the outcome has been an outstanding relationship between instructor and his students.His workouts are the most complete sports training conditioning I’ve ever used which resulted in a top 10 age group finish at a 50 mile cycling race last year.  If you are serious about improving your sports performance I highly recommend joining today!

What can I say about BMSfit….
This is one workout I have never been bored with. Every time there is something different and new to try. The overwhelming positivity from Joe, Ingrid and Alicia during a workout is a driving force behind finishing a workout and continuing to go back for more. I would and have recommend BMSfit to everyone I know.

Amy Thornton

BMSfit has re-vitalized me! I was tired of the same old gym workouts and then I came for a free trial at BMSfit on a friend’s recommendation. I was really inspired by Joe Svilpa – he is an amazing leader and very motivational. Every workout is led by him and it is always different exercises and different types of circuits that keep it fun and interesting. The classes are small so I feel I get personalized attention to my technique. The equipment includes kettlebells, clubbells and TRX (among other things) and so exercises are full body movements improving core strength, balance, posture and overall strength and fitness. I am thankful I found BMSfit and I will continue with this exercise program for a lifetime as it can be tailored to any age and fitness level.

Dr. Alison Stefanuto

Working out at BMSfit is my addiction! I am the biggest BMSfit fan! I quickly became comfortable there just knowing it doesn’t matter your age or fitness level – all are welcomed. For the first time in my life I am working on strengthening my core body. I thrive on the personal attention given from fitness expert Joe Svilpa in the small classes. I’ve advanced from being able to only lift that cute little pink 4kg kettlebell to swinging the 20kg bell thru persistent and proper instruction. I have been a member for 9 months and love that the workouts are never the same or boring. Kettlebells, Indian clubs, skipping ropes, push ups and burpees and so much more! . . . bring it on!!

Colleen Harrington

I have been active most of my life but felt I needed something to challenge my body in a different way and BMSfit was exactly what I was looking for. Since joining 5 months ago, I have noticed big changes in my strength, endurance and physique and I continue to improve and have breakthroughs every week. The classes are geared to allow you to progress at your own pace while ensuring that you are reaching your maximum potential, and everyone can do it!. The coaching is like nothing else I’ve ever experienced. Joe’s desire to ensure that everyone is getting the most out of the class is clearly evident in the individual attention he constantly provides. The atmosphere at BMSfit is extremely welcoming and friendly and the encouragement from your fellow workout mates provides a fantastic feeling of camaraderie.

Amy Pavletic

After a year and six months of dedicated BMS fitness classes, I have introduced my daughter to this program. Working side by side through the workouts; I am aware of the bond of fitness, health and mental well-being between us. Age differences blend between all participants as we all progress at our achievable levels. The enjoyment and friendship this club offers, keeps us on the path to a quality lifestyle that will benefit all of us for many years to come.

Dr. Bruce D. Pellow

My workout starts with a warm greeting from Ingrid, Business Administrator at BMS Fitness. Soon to follow are the BMS
Fitness members enthusiastically awaiting the workout. I have been a dedicated member for 3 weeks and in that time it only took one workout to feel my whole body strengthen. Having never been interested in working out indoors, BMS Fitness has changed my perception of what it means to work your whole body. Every class is different, lead and personally instructed by owner Joe Svilpa, this is a key component at BMS Fitness. Now my running, cycling, and hiking have improved. Of course a little father-daughter competition keeps you motivated as well.

Lindsay Pellow

I actually look forward to my workout classes at BMSfit. The BMSfit staff are wonderful, patient and very knowledgeable. The classes are always different, so you never know what to expect – love the variety. Having never worked out before I wanted an environment where the classes were smaller and the people friendly. It is like one big happy family, people greet you, encourage you and actually miss you when you aren’t there. My flexiblilty and strength has improved over the past 4 or 5 months and gardening, biking, and just day to day chores are easier. I feel great about overall feeling of well being.

BMSfit offers a training experience like no other. We have trained at traditional gyms off and on for 15 years. It seemed like every gain I made took an excessive amount of hard work and concentration. However, since joining BMS fit in January 2010, I was able to make exercise gains quickly and easily. My body fat percentage dropped 10%, and my cardiovascular fitness and endurance has dramatically improved. High Intensity Interval training (the type done at BMSfit) is absolutely vital to health. My wife and myself are both doctors and we started organizing regular nights where we bring a group of our practice members to BMSfit for a workout. The results have been amazing. By including BMSfit into their health care routine our practice members have been able to stop taking there blood pressure and arthritis medication, have felt better and have noticed better sleeping and more energy. The results have been amazing.

Training at BMSfit is an experience like no other, and I can’t thank them enough for what they have helped me accomplish. Since becoming a member at BMSfit I have lost 20lbs, have toned up my entire body, and am stronger than I have ever been in my life. I can actually do full pushups now! BMSfit is not like any other gym, and that’s because it works. I have trained in traditional gyms for over 15 years, it wasn’t until I started working out with Joe and Alicia that I started to see results. BMSfit has created a setting where everyone, regardless of their age, physical fitness, or previous experience can push themselves to achieve their goal. The type of training is amazing, high intensity interval training (no need for boring cardio on the treadmill ever again)

Eight months of BMSfit has provided me with answer to: how can I be an aging athlete and still maintain a high level of achievement and satisfaction in my chosen sport? BMS leads the way through intense exercises that challenge your core strength, flexibility and endurance. Progressing at a level that is safe for you; the benefits are immediately observed. No longer do you have to take a position behind a younger competitor as you are probably stronger, fitter and mentally more ready for the task ahead. BMS is a fine way to live your life at the top of its game for as long as possible.

Dr. Bruce Pellow

I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am to have a place like yours to workout at. Since starting in November 2009 and being relatively consistent at 3 times per week, I have noticed more strength, endurance and cardiovascular fitness (also a few inches gone in torso) I also enjoy the variety of exercises as this keeps me more motivated and the challenge helps improve my fitness. The smaller groups help and I’ve met new friends who are an inspiration and motivating as well. Thanks for you both and the Shop!

BMSfit presents a unique and comfortable environment for self improvement. Each class includes exercises dynamic enough to challenge all participants’ fitness levels. Joe provides personal support and encouragement while pushing you towards your fitness goals.
Wendy Pole

BMSfit is a great workout. Joe is always mixing it up and challenging us
in new ways so that I never get bored. The set times / days means that I
am committed to going – unlike when I’ve gone to the gym in the past and
always put if off for tomorrows that never happened.

Since joining, I have lost 12 pounds and multiple clothing sizes. My
“after baby” body is getting sculpted and firmer in a way the dieting
alone would not do. I have more energy and I’m happier because I burn off
the stress of my days at the workout. I actually look forward to the way I
feel after working out and I know that with this class and healthy eating
I am going to meet my goals and even surpass them with a new body that I
didn’t even know was possible.
Paula

I hate working out. I never in my life could get my money’s worth out of a gym membership and I have been a member of all of them. BMS Fit is the most addictive, HARD, motivating and driven program I have ever been involved in. Even though the workout hurts (in a good way), I cannot stop myself from going back. Joe’s personal attention and encouragement gives you the confidence and the drive to continue improving your health and once you’ve attended a class, you’ll see that your health is Joe’s greatest interest. His classes are filled with wonderful and supportive people that will pick you up when you think you have nothing left in the tank. One of the best decisions I’ve made.

Steve Stefanidis

Thank you Joe Svilpa and BMSFIT !

I have lost 41 lbs over 10 months.

I don’t’ need my blood pressure pills anymore.

Everyone tells me that I look great but more than that ….I  feel fantastic!  Little things like taking stairs two at a time and never having a sore back are small gains I didn’t even notice at first. Now, I look forward to going to the gym because the people are so much fun, the work outs are never the same and there are no limits to what I can do. With my rebuilt knees and weight gain over the years, I never even dreamed of having the success I have already had…

Thanks to you Joe Svilpa… for this level of fitness!!!
