Synapse Strength and Movement

You won’t find anywhere better than this. Serious. From fitness pro to totally out of shape (like me), Synapse welcomes, challenges and educates everyone. The trainers are the most thorough, experienced and knowledgeable I have ever encountered. You learn so much about the body -your body- and I feel like I am getting equipped with a love and understanding of fitness for life.

This is a great gym! I've been a member for 3 months after years of avoiding exercise and weightlifting. Here, I feel like I'm getting the proper guidance to work out correctly from the pre-workout stretches to my form when going through the workout. The staff strike a great balance of being welcoming and encouraging at the same time. After 3 months, my body feels healthier and stronger and I'm looking forward to continued improvement over time!

I started working with James Mills 8 months post shoulder surgery and PT. I've now been working with him for 8 months, and I'm so much stronger and notice it in everyday activities. Holding a heavy sauté pan in one hand was something I couldn't do 8 months ago, and now it's second nature. His work has really changed how my body operates in everyday life, and I'm looking forward to continuing to grow in my strength and flexibility. James creates individual plans for his private clients, and it has really worked for me in ways that traditional gyms never have. Now I'm addicted to coming to Synapse and can't imagine not doing this kind of work.

James is absolutely fantastic! His approach emphasizes organic movement, and the improvement of each person's flexibility, His focus on technique makes gaining strength healthier and less prone to injury. He gives lots of feedback during workouts tweaking technique and tailoring it to where each person is. In my case, his instructions about skillfully standing have decreased low back pain and fatigue at work, and he's helped me improve motion in my shoulders. Overall, I'm healthier and more aware of my body after attending regularly for only four months or so now. I look forward to more progress as the journey continues. This gym is like no other; try it out!

I have been working with James for a few years now and am so happy that he finally has a place of his own. Since working with him and going to Synapse I have a greater knowledge of how my body moves (or is supposed to) and tools and ideas of how to continue improving. James not only wants you to come workout and get fitter at Synapse, he wants you to learn to do it with better form and movement patterns. While challenging at first, once you give in and work to do what he asks improvements are bound to follow.
