I started working out with Rich and Mountain Strength about six months ago, after a particularly unhealthy and dormant winter. After three months of working out for one hour a day, four days a week, and some serious nutritional realignment, my cholesterol levels were back where they should be and I was down a size in my jeans. By summer's end I'd lost 30 pounds. That's not what makes Mountain Strength so special, though. I've always hated exercise. Hated the gym (so many wasted memberships!) & the people at the gym. Lacked motivation and knowledge to work out on my own. Sound familiar? Because of Rich's personal warmth and affable nature, Mountain Strength provides a real sense of community. Going to work out is like going to hang out, only earlier in the morning and with more sweating. And because of his knowledge and openness, Rich is extremely sensitive to scaling exercises to meet individual's needs, which allows for more flexible workouts and a more interactive relationship. The most important thing for me has been that I have never once been yelled at during a workout! Many of my deep-seated memories of exercise-as-punishment have been replaced with real feelings of support and encouragement. I'm healthier than I've ever been - physically and mentally - and Rich and Mountain Strength have been fundamental in helping me get here. Bottom line: I wear my Mountain Strength t-shirt with pride, and I am the last person I ever thought would wear a shirt from a gym. Check it out! - A

MSF is full of awesome and fuck yeah! The instructors are knowlegable, friendly and create a very personalized experience. They *will* kick your ass, but your ass will be tight and thankful for it. - P

"Push me up the slide Mom." And with one effortless motion, I pushed my 5-year old son up to the top of the slide. And that's when I realized how much stronger I had become thanks to weekly, creative workouts with Amber and Mountain Strength Fitness. My new found strength and fitness was a part of me and I hadn't even realized it. What a great feeling.

"Mornings are F***ing Awesome Now!!!" -James S. (Mountain Strength Somerville) 

"About halfway through, I noticed that I wasn't really losing weight anymore - but I had been cinching my belt a notch tighter without noticing that, either. It goes two notches, now after the full class, and there is absolutely a noticeable increase in tone. We'll call this an increase on the 'naked hotness index'"  - J (Mountain Strength Somerville)
