Client Testimonials
It is a new type of training for the coronavirus age. “With the gyms being closed, at least for now, the only place left to work out regularly is at home,” said Michael, a GYMGUYZ client. His trainer James “keeps me on task by doing FaceTime workouts,” Michael said. “James is just as motivational on the video chat as he is in person.”
Community Involvement
