What clients say happened.

After recovering from an extended period of injuries, I realized that I needed to find a trainer with medical knowledge and an understanding of injuries. Using the trainer at this facility enabled me to move forward with confidence and gain physical strength. My trainer, Devon, was excellent, highly qualified, compassionate, and lovely to work with. All of the trainers at this facility are highly qualified. Thank you Devon and Redefine Fitness for giving me back my life and helping me to function at full capacity.

I have been loving my experience with Redefine Fitness! The trainers have been so considerate of my needs and helping me get to my fitness goals. Especially considering my previous surgeries and how to progress without causing more pain to the healing process. I appreciate all the attention to detail this company has and the constant support from everyone on the team!

I like to stay active and play sports, but gym is not my forte. I came to this gym after a particularly debilitating quad tear and I needed more than just a basic workout plan. Redefine’s “assessment “ team did really well and their plan is working well for me. It is also challenging and fun enough to keep me coming. Their app also records my exercises and I can reproduce my workouts on vacation or just during the week if I want to. I’ve had a great experience working with two trainers at this gym, each bringing something valuable to my recovery and overall fitness. I like this alternate rythm and I prefer it to the usual one trainer policy. Gigi was a key player in helping me stay beyond the initial enthusiasm. She added to the weight training a series of stretching, balance, and equilibrium exercises correcting muscle imbalances between my right and left side, helping me overcome the plateaus and build strength again.

Great experience and great results. Was hesitant at first but after reading some reviews it felt exactly like what I was looking for. Sessions are usually flexible, plenty of equipment that is always kept clean, and my old shoulder injury feels like brand new! The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. My trainer Kolja is very experienced, genuinely encouraging and I noticed he kept coming up with different combinations to keep it fresh. So glad I joined the gym now with the injury behind and steadily making gains! Let’s goo! 10/10 would recommend!

I have been working with Devon for the past 2.5 years on a weekly basis. I had a major medical issue and he was wonderful in adapting my workouts throughout my entire treatments. I attribute this as a major factor in my recovery and remaining strong throughout. While I work with him weekly, he also helps me plan my exercises for when I am alone so I get the most out of my training.

I’ve been training at Redefine for a little over a year now and have been very happy with the experience and results. Mostly I’ve trained with Meredith and Devon, and occasionally also with Jin and Gigi. They’ve all been very knowledgeable and attentive to details, keeping in mind my past injuries when watching my form so I don’t aggrevate anything, while still pushing me to improve. And they’re very friendly and make the workout fly by.

Love working out at Redefine Fitness! Meredith is the trainer that makes working out fun & motivates me to keep coming back!
I’m adding to this post a year later because I still feel the same about Redefine Fitness and Meredith. I recently had a knee injury from playing pickleball and she modifies the workouts for me so that I don’t re-injure myself. I also like how clean the gym is. They are always wiping down the equipment. Thanks Redefine for keeping me healthy 💪🏻❤️

I’ve known Dominick for quite a few years. He has shown genuine sincere interest in my goals and difficulties and has been instrumental in my recovery. A truly novel approach to common problems. Thanks Dom.

Fantastic and knowledgeable trainers! Gym is always pristine and up to date. I have enjoyed working with Devon and Kolja, who are able to modify my workouts to meet my exercise goals while accommodating for pre-existing injuries! Highly recommend!!

I originally started at Redefine as an alternative to PT for my arthritic knee. I am hooked! Not only do I no longer experience knee pain, but I am the strongest that I’ve been in a while. Every trainer is highly skilled and patient. The facility is immaculate, and the environment is welcoming and friendly. There is an infrared sauna available in addition to offerings of kick boxing and nutrition counseling. I highly recommend Redefine if you are looking for more quality and personalized attention!

I started Redefine in September because I felt old. I’m 58 and when I walked in on day 1 my knees were always aching, my hips were giving trouble and I was stiff. I didn’t feel like I’d have the discipline to work on my own so the Redefine program looked perfect. The staff is made up of just the kindest and most knowledgeable people. I’ve been lucky to be trained by both Kolja & Kyle. They plan my workouts with concern to what I need help with each week. My session flies by every visit because we’re working, learning and chatting through out. I feel much stronger now. I’ve lost weight and gained energy. The areas around my aches have been strengthened so that I feel much much better most days. …

I’ve been going to Redefine in Stony Brook for about 2 months now and I love it. I actually look forward to working out. My primary reason for training is for healthy bones and strengthening my leg after an injury left me with a torn meniscus. I’m experiencing such positive changes already. I no longer notice weakness in my quad and I can do longer walks without my knee getting cranky. My trainer is Gigi and she’s the BEST!!! She’s very careful with me because of my bones and my injury while still challenging me every session. She keeps track and celebrates my progress each week and it feels so good to see and feel improvement in such a short period of time. …

Redefine has changed my life. I’ve been going for a year and half and it’s been great. All of the trainers are so intelligent, encouraging and kind. I’ve never once been made to feel that I don’t belong there. A special shout out for TORI who goes out of her way to design workouts that address my problems. She can pivot on a moment’s notice and give me an new exercise or stretch or modification. I have a back problem and she is always looking for ways to help me. She has even consulted with all of the trainers to figure out what is best for me. I feel like she really cares about me and my progress. One day I will be able to deadlift a respectable amount and it will be thanks to her 🙂

My session with Kolja was terrific. I’ve had stiffness around my knee and he helped me to work through it and strengthen the supporting muscles. It’s not back to normal yet but its feeling better every week. The knee brace he recommended has also been a great help.

I had been wanting to try out personal training for a long time, partly to get a momentum going again after a long time away from regular exercise, and partly to learn about weight training and how to build a proper workout, since most of what I’d focused on in the past had been cardio. But as someone in a bigger body, it felt nerve-wracking to find a fitness space that would be welcoming and respectful of my goals, and saw me as more than a potential “before” picture. I’ve been training at Redefine Fitness for 2 months now and the experience has been sooo awesome! From the beginning, staff were receptive to what I wanted to focus on and get from the experience, and in this short amount of time I have learned so much and am already feeling stronger and having less random body aches. …

It’s the kind of place that makes you feel alive again. Best if you are looking for a medically structured fitness system, coming off injuries or chronic pain, etc. love the place. Even amazing if you’re a busy individual. They have plans that accommodate even if you want to go once or twice a week.

Redefine Fitness filled the void left by numerous Drs and PTs, to aid us in our transition into retirement. Their expert analysis and careful planning of what PREcisely could enable us individually with different needs to live a more pain free active life, reintroduced a spark of hope that had long been diminished by advice such as, ‘you’re in great shape for your age’ in spite of pain and restricted movement. This isn’t just a gym with trainers… it’s a lifeline for those frustrated that they’re not making progress post injury. The vetting process for their trainers is rigorous and they are all highly educated and qualified to assist you on your journey INCLUDING wanting an ‘ageless goal’ to your progress. Personally I am a climber, a previous marathon runner and all around older active person plagued through an accident by injury. After trying EVERYthing over a three year period, I am indebted to the staff of Redefine for turning my life around. …

Redefine is the BEST! All the trainers are so smart and so flexible and really work with me as an individual. Tori knows exactly what I need to work on and pushes me just the right amount. She also is able to integrate all the things my Physical Therapist has me working on which is a tremendous help!

I have been going to Redefine since January and I can’t say enough good things! I have tried various personal trainers in the past and I have always had problems with them not listening to me as I have some medical concerns and very often would make things worse. The staff at Redefine really focus on you and working within reason to help you strengthen and progress. I have been working primarily with Gigi and she is fantastic but they have different trainers and it is easy to find a fit for what works for you. She knows when to push and adapts the training based on how I might be feeling. I have definitely gotten much stronger and feel a lot better since starting.

I have been totally satisfied with my experience at redefine fitness in Stony Brook. My initial interview defined my goals.The program that was designed for me has helped me to develop towards these goals. The trainers that I have worked with have shown me the right way to approach training and minimize injury. I would and have recommended it to other people. I look forward to continuing to make progress for a healthy life.

Meredith is an amazing and very knowledgeable ,professional trainer. She has helped me tremendously. My body is in great muscle tone thanks to Meredith.

I had osteoporosis and because of her great training my osteoporosis changed for the better and it’s now diagnosed as osteopia . A milder form of osteo.
I have been going to Redefine and using Meredith as my trainer for over 4 years . I thank Meredith for everything she has done for me. She is a very important part of my life.

I have been training at the STONYBROOK location for approx. 6 weeks with trainer Kyle. I feel well supported in my goals to improve bone density and overall strength as we discussed in my initial evaluation. Kyle is enthusiastic and fun to work. He listens and adjusts routine based on my concerns, but also pushes me to try “just a few more”reps and a bit heavier weights,which is just what I need to reach my goals. Thank you to owner Anthony, trainer Kyle and all staff for creating this supportive and results driven atmosphere.

I come here to grow in my health journey. Personal Training is comforting at my level. Kyle takes things at a pace for where I’m at and is patient & understanding with health goals and struggles with movement issues and neuropathy . Thanks.

I’ve been going to Redefine Fitness Stony Brook for 1.5 years and I keep coming back because the trainers are amazing. I feel so supported, encouraged, and strong every time I go. I’ve been working with Gigi for the past year and she always brings thoughtful, creative, appropriately challenging, and strength- and stability- building exercises to our sessions. I leave each session in a better mood, it makes my day.

I can’t recommend Redefine Fitness enough! The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, but the real standout is the coaching. A huge shoutout to Kyle and Kolja, they are absolute pros. They take the time to truly guide and encourage me through every single workout. What I appreciate most is how mindful they are of my personal limitations. They always find the perfect balance between keeping me safe and safely pushing me to challenge myself. If you’re looking for a place that genuinely cares about your progress and your well-being, this is it!

I came in with a very specific goal: hypertrophy training and getting legitimately stronger, not just “getting healthier.”

The results speak for themselves.
Bench press: 105 → 230
Lat pulldown: 80 → 170
Deadlift: 85 → 285
Shoulder press: 40 → 155

But the biggest transformation wasn’t just numbers — it was turning the gym from something you force yourself to do into something you genuinely look forward to. …

I joined this gym last year when I was overweight and out of shape. I have lost 4% body fat; 15 pounds and can lift weights I never though I would be able to. …

Kyle changed my life! What a fantastic guy! Lost 20 pounds because of him and am so thankful!!!

The best investment I have made this year is coming to this Gym. My coach Kolja keeps pushing me, giving great visual instructions and recovery tips, and motivating me to be the best version of myself in the Gym. If you are afraid of the gym but want to change for the better, redefine Fitness is the place to start! Kolja is extremely knowledgeable and a great coach in general, highly recommend!

This place has literally been a life-saver for me
Over the past 2 years. The staff truly care about their clients. I’ve reached goals that I never thigh were possible.
