Blue Ocean Fitness

Three years later and I'm sticking with the program. The trainers have helped me work around skiing and other injuries to keep me on track. I'm measurably stronger and and have lowered my heart rate for a given level of effort. Scheduling sessions there hold me accountable for my fitness and add structure to retired life. I plan to continue going to Blue Ocean for many more years. Original review: The trainers are relentlessly positive and create individual programs based on their client's current condition and goals. There is no body shaming at Blue Ocean: they cultivate an attitude that everyone is there to improve their fitness and that's more important than how anyone looks now. They include a broad range of exercise activities to strengthen one's entire body and improve balance and agility, all while maintaining an aerobic heart rate. The variety also helps avoid monotony. Although they offer one on one training, the standard method is semi-private, in which a trainer rotates among clients, demonstrating an exercise, verifying a client's technique and tracking resistance, repetitions or time. I've been introduced to heavy ropes, TRX straps, kettle bells and medicine balls to go along with the more traditional dumbbells, rowing and skiing machines, and bikes. Each season begins and ends with stretching. There are regularly scheduled group sessions for aerobic exercise, strength and stretching. I'm entering my third month of training and I couldn't be happier. The trainers have worked with me to recover my strength after rotator cuff surgery and two years of working, and not working out. Their approach strengthens my shoulder without endangering the repair and minimizes the discomfort from my arthritic knee. The folks at Blue Ocean are getting me ready to return to downhill skiing and ice hockey, and I can feel the results.

This is a gym with vision and a staff that is passionate about helping clients attain health and longevity. I came in on a trial month offer and found my new "gym home." The semi-personal training model works really well and appointments make it easier to stay consistent. Come and check it out!

After driving by every day after work, I just stopped by to check this place out. I had been strength training in my home gym but missing the accountability of a coach. That was over a year ago and it has become my gym home since that day. The trainers keep it interesting, challenging and fun. I cannot recommend this place more and encourage you stop by like I did. John Farkas has developed something really special here.

BOF has been one of the best decisions I have made, not to mention the longest standing relationship I've had with a gym. The BOF staff is always encouraging and works with me to obtain my goals. I feel I'm getting stronger every day and that in itself makes it worth it!

This gym provides individual support and a personal plan for achieving your goals. In addition, some of the best trainers I’ve ever worked with!

Love...Love... Love this place! The trainers are amazing and always incorporate new ideas into each workout. As a member for several years, I can honestly say that I have seen consistent results, thanks to their AWESOME training program. The BOF community is not only super friendly, but extremely supportive. They offer various contests throughout the year that help with accountability while keeping things light and fun. You will not be disappointed with your experience here!

It’s been 4 years since I posted a review for the place that keeps me strong, sane and happy. I’m still 60 pounds down and as I’m now in my 60’s it’s become even more evident just how much I need and appreciate Blue Ocean Fitness. This place is unlike any other gym I’ve known (and I have been to many). John Farkas and his staff are exceptional - everything about the place is geared toward excellence, community, and helping people become the best version of themselves thru all of the ups and downs of life. At this thanksgiving season I want to again say how grateful I am that this place exists. Blue Ocean Fitness really has changed my life (physically, emotionally, relationally) in so many tangible ways. I will continue to invite anyone and everyone to try this place. You’ll never regret it… I have never once in 11 years!

The staff are super friendly and professional. And in general the vibe is very casual and welcoming. I've been working out here for over years and it's been a great experience.
