Ambitious Athletics is truly a diamond in the fitness world rough. I joined 4 years ago looking for a program to continue my strength and conditioning training, but found a program that is absolutely out of this world. The intention behind all of the curated workouts shows Carmen's expertise in the field and the comradery amongst the trainers and members is what truly fuels my desire to be better everyday. I highly recommend you check out Ambitious Athletics! COVID Update: Carmen and Kam have seamlessly pivoted the gym's operations in response to COVID. They provide remote workouts that people can complete on their own or join the Zoom classes in the morning or evening. Their in-person protocol includes mask-wearing, private squat racks and weights to avoid cross-contamination, and sanitizing materials at every single squat rack. Whether I'm doing a workout online or in-person, I feel I am getting the full training experience while feeling safe. You won't find another gym putting in the effort to see their members successful and safe like you do here!

I have been here 2.5 years now. My transformation has been quite a process from when I came in at 205 lbs. and overweight (the coach there will take you through a body scan and show your body metrics). Over the course of the first year, I simultaneously got stronger (we test 2-3 times per year) and I lost weight to 185 lb. In year #2, we modified my nutrition so that I added weight back on with muscle and I am at 200 lbs. with completely different body metrics (half the body fat, added much more muscle mass). I am steady at my bodyweight, getting stronger but mostly improving on my overall health such as range of motion and energy which is what this gym is about first and foremost.
Ambitious Athletics is the only workout routine that has kept me motivated and constantly working out every Monday and Wednesday morning before work. It is a boot camp style training that is held indoors and uses body weight, resistance bands and kettle bells. Good music (sometimes rock, sometimes dance, sometimes rap, sometimes all) is played in-between instruction. Training classes are small so you basically get a personal trainer. The other athletes are nice, dedicated and all ages, shapes, and sizes. If you want to be stronger, try this. If you want to lose inches and tone up, try this. The head trainer Carmen is the backbone of this business. He is authentically \dedicated to your health\ and inspires you to work harder. He is really the best.
Carmen is the absolute best!!! I signed up for his boot camp at the recommendation of a friend. I had made several attempts to get back in shape after some health problems, but hadn't had any success. From day one, things were different with Carmen. His enthusiasm about working out hard is contagious, and the support he offers between sessions (nutrition plan, fat-buster challenge, referrals) is a great addition. Carmen has high expectations of his clients, and sometimes he's believed in me more than I've believed in myself. But, 7 months into this thing, I've got to admit it's really working. I'm 20 pounds lighter, way stronger, and feel like (as Carmen always says) the best is yet to come! Thank you Carmen!!
Just what my rapidly declining 44-year-old self needed. Carmen is the man -- coach, cheerleader, and drill sergeant. I've been working out with him for a year now, and have benefitted greatly from his carefully designed programs, attention to detail, instruction, correction, and tireless motivation. Our class ranges from the young and fit to the older and less-so, and the entire group has benefitted. I'm hooked, and I'm happy.
