I have worked out from home for most of my life. In May, my husband started training at IFS with Rob DeVito. He was so impressed he convinced me to take the 2 week free trial. I am so glad I did. Robs workouts are amazing and diverse. The classes are small and Rob will tailor a workout for your needs. With guidance from the trainers, my workouts are now more intense, well rounded and safer. I feel terrific and could not ask for a better or friendlier environment. I am so happy to have found IFS and Rob DeVito.

I started physical therapy because of a shoulder injury. After a few weeks I was ready to get back into working out and I heard about Rob and IFS. After meeting Rob, I knew this was going to be a great way to ease myself back into an exercise routine. He is caring and interested in helping me reach my goals in a positive supportive way. He made me feel welcome by introducing me to everyone each time I came to a new class. He is full of energy and makes each class fun but challenging, and he always makes sure I am doing each exercise correctly. Rob is truly knowledgable in what he does, and he has created such a welcoming environment that I am truly excited to be part of!

I started with a free trial and officially joined IFS in July 2012. I started in pretty bad physical condition due to health issues plus being more than 50 lbs. overweight. Everyone was welcoming and encouraging. It is what it says group personal training. Adjustments to workouts can be made based on limitations, etc. Slowly, but surely, I became more fit, flexible and stronger and can do workouts now that I would have thought impossible a few months ago. Weight loss and lifestyle coaching is part of the program and very informative on nutrition. I'm down 20 lbs. and one size and feel better, younger and more confident than I have in a long time. I just upgraded my membership to unlimited classes to "step it up a notch". I heartily recommend this program to men or women, any age or size.

If you are thinking about a change for the New Year and looking for help in adopting a fitness lifestyle for both your mind and body, IFS is the place to go! I have been around the fitness industry for a very long time, and IFS is such a refreshing change from your typical, big box crowded gyms. The skilled trainers, challenging workouts, and warm, nurturing family environment create the perfect atmosphere for success. You will enjoy the workouts, the motivation, the camraderie, and you will be amazed when you see the changes both physically and mentally! Give IFS a call to get started on your fitness journey, you will be so glad you did!

After years of the same, boring workout routine, I had had enough! I felt my dedication and motivation quickly dying! That's when I decided to step out of my "norm" routine and step into IFS Solutions. At first, I was a little cautious.. fear of the unknown, I guess. To my surprise I was greeted by 2 very welcoming coaches,the Owner and head Coach, Robert Devito and Coach/Trainer, Christian Wittig. My first class was kettlebell with Christian. I have never used kettlebells and was not sure if I could handle it! Christian assured me he would guide me through the routine and it was about learning the technique and form. AWESOME class!! I had fun and was challenged at the same time! I had no idea where the time went! Christian is very skilled in kettlebell, group classes and personal training!
Not only have I taken kettlebell classes but also group training with Robert. Robert has a special way of making people feel comfortable and achieve what would normally not be attempted. He is skilled, personable, and knows how to work with people of all levels. I enjoy going to see and work with the coaches! It has become a positive, beneficial "addiction."
I believe anyone, young to old... out of shape or in shape, would physically, and mentally benefit from IFS!!

I have been working with Rob at IFS for apporoximately a year and a half and can't say enough good things about the program and Rob. He is a phenomenal personal trainer and life coach. The impact the program has had on my life is monumental. I've become stronger physically, mentally and emotionally and could not be any happier with my progress and accomplishments to date. Rob's knowledge and experience are off the charts and his ability to motivate and push us to the best of our abilities (and then some) is what makes IFS the best program around for anyone wishing to live a healthy lifestyle. The program is geared to help you succeed not for the short term but for the long term, developing a healthy mindset as well as a healthy body. There is absolutely no downside to IFS and Robert DeVito (well maybe his bad jokes, but they help make class lively and fun. Give yourself the best present you possibly can, join IFS today!

I have been working with IFS for a little over 2 months and to say it has changed my life is a bit cliche, but it has. I was scrawny, I had decreased endurance, I was unhappy, unmotivated, and on my way to a nervous breakdown. I took the first step in changing my life by searching for something to help change the direction in which my life was heading.
I found Innovation Fitness Solutions and Robert lit the fire under me to initiate the process of self-preservation. Not only does he provide excellent one-on-one coaching/training to better my strength, endurance, and overall fitness, but he has provided me with an overall perspective of health and wellness. Most trainers focus on weight loss and calories; Robert has helped me gain my strength back both physically, mentally and emotionally.
I have a lot of work left, but today I feel strong. Strong physically that helps me succeed at my job and daily activities. And stronger mentally; I can face challenges throughout each day with a healthier mind set. I am grateful to the IFS staff for helping me help myself.
And the abdominal muscles I am developing aren't such a bad thing either ;)

My first impression upon meeting Robert at IFS was; too good to be true??? But here I am 2 months later, after working with him 2 hours a week and I'm happy to say he practices what he preaches & delivers on every promise! He gears each workout to a person's needs, he pushes you to do things you never dreamed of doing and encourages you every single step of the way and it's always different & fun all the time. People are already noticing changes with my body, my husband is noticing and I feel great! My mindset has even changed for the better in my personal & professional life, which I know might sound crazy in this short period of time but it's true. Robert has a wealth of knowledge and is always eager to share it with others. He also has a lot of patience for his clients. I really can't say enough good things about him or the staff, members at IFS. It's been a fabulous experience and I've just scratched the surface of all that they have to offer. The only down side is that my husband found him first, so now I have to hear I told you so every time I come home happy & energized from a workout! Darn husband is always right!!!

After posting an earlier review, I spent some time reading the reviews of others. IFS has rightfully received 5 star ratings from everyone for all the right reasons. Go there and you will get in shape. lose pounds and inches, and improve your health and conditioning. You will find a supportive coaching staff that finds a way to tailor workouts for you without interfering with others in the group. This will change the way you feel and the way you feel about yourself.

IFS is a little gem among all the larger gyms in the area, of which I have been a member of several! To me there is no comparison to the level of all-around fitness to which this gym strives. My specific trainer is Tracey...a little ball of fire (and muscle!) who is an encyclopedia of knowledge in all aspects of fitness...from running to strength training...with certifications in Personal Training, Kettle bells, Cross-fit, to name a few! I have trained with her on a personal level and am now taking her morning classes...which are killer...but I feel stronger after just a few weeks. Even in a small group environment, Tracey is able to customize the workout so that each of us can work on our personal goals. Robert, the owner, is very serious about the quality of training at his gym and it shows! AWESOME place for anyone who really wants to get in shape, no matter what their level!!!! CSB

Tracey Magee at IFS is as good as it gets when it comes to fitness training. I have never met a trainer more knowledgeable, dedicated and supportive. I am amazed at how much progress I have made in 3 weeks. If you are looking to really get in shape, Tracey is a sure bet!

Tracey Magee at IFS is an incredible personal trainer. She customizes a program around both your strengths and weaknesses. Her extensive career as both an athlete and trainer along with her in-depth knowledge of the physical fitness field complements the tremendous positive attitude she has with all her clients. She is very in tune with her clients abilities and knows when they are working at their potential and when they need to take their fitness to the next level.

“ The variety of workouts since I have joined IFS never ceases to amaze me, and every new one seems to be as challenging and fulfilling as those that came before it. If you haven't joined yet, do it. ”

i am very happy i have chosen this new way of getting fit with IFS. as we get older it may take a little harder work and endurance but i am ready to fight the fight and stsy on course to accomplish these goals i have set for myself. i have met alot of wonderful people in the process so i think it will onl get better...one week at a time is the way for me. i never thought working out could be fun as well as the work we all put into it on a daily basis. with that being said hats off to you rob for your guidance in fitness and as well in nutrition....love my thursday nites with killer karen as well.....thank you to everyone.

Rob is the best personal trainer I ever worked with. Even though he provides training in small groups, he gives personal attention to each individual and tailors the sessions to optimize them for each person. Rob helped me a lot to get into shape before major surgeries and after that. While training with Rob is challenging he makes sure that the sessions are also fun and exciting and makes you want to make a bigger effort. I highly recommend Rob to anybody who is looking for a personal trainer.

I have been training with innovation fitness solutions for just over 6 months and I have seen a huge improvement on my energy and strength. They have the best training staff around, especially Robert DeVito!

IFS's training is superior and comes from many years of education and experience. We seniors need not worry about injury because the training is tailored to the individual's needs and abilities. It's also fun in a friendly atmosphere.

IFS's program offerings go above and beyond what you can find at a standard gym. IFS makes exercise enjoyable while offering a "family" like environment. Great facility with great people!

IFS is by far the best place to go for long term fitness results. Robert gears the workouts to challenge you while accomodating any physical ailments you may have and the nutrition coaching classes are extremely informative. He will encourage you every step of the way - you can't help but be successful!!!

Rob is AMAZING!!! Not only has he opened my eyes to new ways of approaching fitness, but his coaching methods have inspired me to take a good look at myself and make positive, lifelong changes. I have been in the fitness industry for over 20 years but never have I met someone as knowledgeable and educated as Rob. I ask a lot of questions and he goes above and beyond to answer each one with great detail. Since working with Rob, I find myself happier and more energetic on a daily basis. The changes in my mind, body and spirit tell me I made the right decision when I chose IFS.

As I read the reviews that are posted and noted the different viewpoints I could see that IFS does an excellent job of giving each client what they need instead of the basic cookie-cutter, program of the week plan. All I can add is I've been a client for over 10 years through many medical challanges. Throughout the medical ups and downs Robert has shown me how I can continue to move and improve, even when we've had to restart with the basics. I am grateful for the level of expertise that IFS brings to the area.

IFS is the BEST place for Physical Training.. Rob takes what would be a boring class and turns them into a great time. What I love most is the personal attention he is able to give everyone in a class and tailor the exercises to each individual person. I have never stuck to an exercise program and enjoyed it as I do for so long.. GO ROB..AND IFS TEAM...
YOU ALL ROCK...

Joining Innovation Solutions has been the very best decision I have made in a very long time - I have learned so much about myself and have achieved more with fitness than I could have ever imagined - I had avoided joining a gym for a long time - I felt embarassed by not being able to keep up with classes due to some physical limitations and asthma issues. Even during group classes Rob is aware of each persons unique ablilties and modify instruction so that everyone can participate - The personal coaching sessions have been an amazing journey and the group classes are so incredible and the people who attend have become like family. When I joined I never expected such an awesome experience

Woohoo! As good as it gets! This is an understatement for the service you receive with Innovation Fitness Solutions. The training services provided by IFS are tailored to each individual person. The information you receive is not just to lose weight or feel better about yourself, but are lifelong goals which you continuously strive to achieve. I have been working with IFS for 2 years and recently became pregnant. After 6 weeks of bedrest, in which my body greatly suffered, I was able to slowly work myself back into daily routines with much of the information received from IFS. I know that once I have my baby that I will receive all the support needed to lose the weight and get back to my former strength. It won't be an easy road, but I know that I can do it.

IFS is a great place for exercise, friends and fun!
Robert and Kathy are wonderful and their expertise allows them to personalize workouts within a group.

For the first time I enjoy exercising!

I work out with Rob both one-on-one and in a group setting. While the classes are challenging, the motivation Rob creates is really what keeps you coming back! The nutritional counseling enhances an excellent mind/body program!

I work with Rob at IFS on a one on one basis. He is an excellent trainer but more importantly a terrific teacher. Aside from being an astute listener, he is also very good at explaining how exercise effects your body and further how to apply the correct movements to daily activities. Add a generous helping of nutritional counseling and you wind up with a new you in no time flat. His good nature and and sense of humor complete the package.

I attend the Boomers class and it has been wonderful to help with my balance and strength. Rob and Kathy are great instructions and we have fun while we are exercising!

IFS is the best place to go for physical training :) Rob is one of the best people I know and he makes working out fun! Although I moved away from the area, I am going to try HARD to come back and work out and keep my weight loss going :)

IFS is an outstanding training facility! Not only are the classes fun and motivating, but safety is of the utmost concern. The instructors are knowledgeable and professional and really enjoy all of their clients. A great place to be!!

I have been with IFS for almost a year and have done great things and had fun doing (some) of them. Robert is a master at his trade, like a Jedi!

I must say, I have been referred to as a "meat head" in my life, and I was actually pretty proud of that. I am your typical "I lift heavy things and put them down" guy. I thought I knew it all.
Well, I was wrong. Robert has shown me new and innovative ways to challenge my body (and still in a manly way). Ways that I didn't think were possible and that made me sore for days! I thought I was going to have to wear a leotard and drink tea after, but boy was I wrong. I stand corrected in my neanderthal thinking. NO leotard required, just sweat and tears, by request of course.
Thanks for the new insight!

Rob is awesome. He makes everything fun but extremely challenging which is something I need. Thanks Rob.

The trainers at IFS are fantastic! I have never felt better. I am in my 80's and I have a ton of energy and feel great!
The trainers are supportive, motivating and fun. I am so happy with my results.

IFS has been a part of my life for over two years. For the first time in my life I made a commitment to myself that I have kept. The reason is simply ...Robert and my IFS family. Robert has changed my overall perspective and attitude toward health and fitness. With his support and motivation, I continue to travel on my healthy and active lifestyle journey.

IFS is offers more than just a fitness program. It provides the basis and coaching for a healthy lifestyle. Robert and his team guide you through goal setting strategy and nutritional meal planning along with group and one-on-one exercise programs. I've been a member of IFS for a year and it has changed my perspective and helped me build healthier habits.

IFS is a one-stop-shop. You can achieve all your fitness/health goals with Robert in your corner. He is truly dedicated to ensuring each and every member reaches their maximum potential with personalized workouts and/or sessions. He is an amazing trainer, life coach and friend!

The IFS Program is different than anything I have ever been involved with. It focuses on all aspects of health, fitness and wellness and I leave the facility smarter after every sessions and education class.

Amazing.

ZUMBA FITNESS: Ok, Carol Lee - we know you love Rob! LOL Apparently, so does MaryAnn who is the BEST INSTRUCTOR EVER! Seriously, we have a lot of fun at Zumba which is why I like it better than any other fitness program I've done. You'll have to come with me sometime if you're healed - you'll love MaryAnn. Pat Parisi

The coaching received at Innovation Fitness is second to none. They not only focus on the physical aspects of getting healthy and losing weight but on the mental and emotional ones as well. All that and more in a very comfortable, supportive environment. Robert is a great motivator and has taught me so much!

Rob makes working out fun but also part of your life. He is not just trying to help you lose weight, he is trying to help you live a healthy lifestyle.

A truly knowledgeable staff.
They are there to support and educate you every step of the way.
I have used trainers before and I have tried diet programs too. IFS is different, they blend a realistic eating style with appropriate workouts and keeping my thought process clear and straight.
I love these people!

IFS continues to support my goals for wellness. I find education, personal training and coaching, a variety of classes to workout in and most of all a supportive environment that encourages and motivates everyone! Thanks Rob and the IFS family!

Rob is an amazing motivator, trainer, and person! I'm so glad we have met. He works so hard to make all of his clients welcome, informed, and give them a safe and effective workout. He shares his passion for what he does with everyone around him. It has been a joy to see this first-hand during my time teaching class there and I look forward to working together more with him in the future.

Great facility, answers all your questions and makes workouts fun!

Energetic, enthusiastic, and educational.
Fitness for you body, mind and spirit.

IFS is the place to be, not only for weight loss, but also for personal and professional growth. Robert and his team truly care about their clients, which is evident every time you step foot in their facilities for sessions. If life changes are what you seek, IFS is your answer.
