Work In Progress Fitness

Excellent bootcamp classes - even as a beginner i was able to follow them or modify as needed. Trainers are all very different and offer different workouts which is great, never the same! Other members are friendly and also help each other as needed - I really enjoy this gym. The only constructive criticism I have is that the classes are very crowded - I only go on weekends - I think WIP has outgrown its space - not a bad problem for the owners but for the members it is - every class I have attended at various times on the weekends is packed and barely enough space for each person.

Very great experience. Love all the trainers and all the other Wipster´s are very friendly. Also this is a very good workout that will make you feel accomplished after you finish the workout. Finally, if you want to get stronger this gym is for you. I have been going for a month and have already seen myself gain confidence and get stronger. Overall WIP is an amazing gym.

This is an uplifting, affirming, encouraging place where I have grown stronger and healthier. The workouts are well planned, and the time flies by. The coaches provide modifications so people of all abilities are able to participate safely. I love WIP and recommend it wholeheartedly!

WIP is the best!! Every day is different, the coaches are friendly and helpful to be sure you have proper form. The workouts push me to a new level of fitness and I feel great! Thank you!!!

Great work out place. Get in, get a great workout and get on with your day. Great coaches, very knowledgeable and encouraging. For a metabolic, "boot camp", type of a gym it does offer a very flexible schedule. Good location and plenty of parking. Give it a try, will not be disappointed.

If you're looking for a judgement-free gym where you're surrounded by fellow WIPsters who will encourage you no matter of your age or size, this is the place. I've tried other gyms and bootcamps, but the programs the trainers have put together have allowed me to have the results I've always desired. Give it a try....I think you'll like it! :-

Mary Kate and Laura owners are awesome, friendly and such an inspiration! The coaches are committed and encouraging, and the workout is always fun. I love the periodic challenges - gives me a chance to recommit and keeps me motivated.

Love the variety of challenging workouts strength, metabolic, core, endurance and the wonderful community at WIP! Great membership options with class packs, month to month and annual memberships!

WIP is simply awesome! The coaches are incredible and the workouts are exactly what you need to start or finish your day. I am very thankful for WIP and appreciate their great team.

I had fairly recently moved to West Hartford, so it seemed like a great time to look for a new gym. I can remember googling West Hartford gyms or something along those lines, and to my surprise two 2 group fitness locations showed up as the highest ranked gyms in the area. One of course was WIP Fitness. I cannot recall exactly why I choose WIP to be the one I tested, but I can certainly say that was adecision I am extremely grateful for. I started just this past January, and was very hesitant that first day. It was a Saturday class with Paul and truthfully I had ZERO idea what to expect. I had NEVER done a group fitness class before. I was nervous about a number of things. How challenging would it be? Too hard? Not hard enough? I was also concerned about being a male going to a group fitness class. Would I be the only guy in the class? I had always assumed incorrectly that group fitness was really a chick thing. Whatever, I was going to try it, plus WIP had a free week program so I had nothing to lose. Needless to say that first Saturday was awesome. I got my ass completely kicked, but loved it. I was NOT the only guy in the class, and nor have I ever been. I felt welcomed, and very comfortable, immediately. I went to a couple more of the 5:45 AM classes that week and had an equally great time. I moved onto punch cards going 2 or 3 days a week until May. That was when WIP ran a promotion where for a great price you could have unlimited visits. That was really the turning point for me. I never initially thought that the workouts would be something I could do every day. Both in terms of difficulty and time. I certainly proved myself wrong. I can go every day, have an awesome workout, and accomplish all else I need to do that day. WIP is an amazing outlet for me. For one 1 hour a day I have ZERO access to my cell phone. No one can call me, email me, text me, request something, etc…It is just me, against myself, trying to get the most out of every single rep, every single circuit, and every single workout. I get to shut it all off, zone it out, and just focus on me and the workout. This is extremely therapeutic. Whether I am sweating in the dark at 5:45 AM in West Hartford, or sneaking out during lunch downtown in Hartford which I am loving the hour or so I take at WIP is extremely important to me, both physically and mentally. I want to say thanks to all the trainers, who are all awesome, though Leah has the best playlist, by far. Further thanks to all fellow Wipsters as well. The gym exudes positive vibes. There is no place during the whole day where I see more smiles.
