I've been at MECA for about 8 months, and I'm hooked! I had no idea before I started at MECA how valuable one-on-one training would be. I'm much stronger and have eliminated the back and shoulder issues I came in with. During my initial evaluation Dave listened to my goals, and he and my trainer have designed effective training programs for me. The trainers take their work seriously while maintaining a comfortable atmosphere; this is truly a great place. Shout out to my trainer, Liz! It's been 5 years since I wrote my first MECA review, which means I've been a client now for 6 years. Wow! I continue to be impressed with MECA. One thing that stands out to me is the consistent, high standards Dave has for the MECA staff. I've had three different trainers, and each one has been outstanding. Their training and knowledge is fantastic, so moving from one trainer to another has never been a problem. I also appreciate the focus on my specific, changing needs. I continue to value feeling strong and staying active and able to ski, but now in my mid-60s I'm also experiencing some arthritis that I didn't have when I first started at MECA. The trainers are excellent at working within and around any limitations I have, helping me maintain strength and flexibility. I truly believe working out with MECA trainers is positively impacting my ability to stay active, strong, and healthy as I age. And. . . Liz is still great, but shoutout to my current trainer, Emily!

Great environment, people, and energy! In just a few months of training at MECA I gained 10+ pounds of muscle mass change, along with better performance on the football field. Great training and great results.

MECA is amazing. I have struggled for years to get fit and Liz’s programs and Liz and Emily’s coaching plus Hannah’s nutrition have made all of the difference. I have gotten so much stronger and healthier. Highly recommend!

My experience at MECA is totally positive! It is almost one year since I started and the improvement in my overall strength and fitness has exceeded my expectations. The training staff is dedicated and friendly and my personal trainer, Chris Cheatham, is the best! I strongly recommend MECA to anyone who is looking for an elite conditioning experience.

Meca is not just a gym; it's an integral part of my overall health and wellness. If you're searching for a plan tailored specifically to you, this is the spot. Every single trainer is incredible (shoutout to Liz), and having a nutritionist onsite (shoutout to Hannah) is a game-changer. If you're serious about taking control of your health and fitness, Meca is where you need to be.

I have been working with Chris Cheatham since September 2023 and making rapid and obvious improvements in very specific areas he has identified, like my shoulders and legs, along with my overall strength profile. Chris is very methodical with technique, tempo and persistence during every training session and works well with the full spectrum of clients, from seniors like myself down to the HS or college-bound athletes.

We have had a great experience at MECA for the past year. Our son has trained with Chris, who has increased his overall strength beyond what we envisioned. Along with increased strength, our son has added weight to his frame, thanks to the balanced approach that MECA takes to include consultations with a nutritionist. We cannot say enough about what this has done to our son’s confidence and performance in hockey. We highly recommend MECA to anyone who may be considering a personalized approach to athletic training!
