Andrea is a true “OG,” having been one of our first 12 members in our original location. She came to us on a mission to become the best version of herself possible, and she crushed it and continues to. Andrea is now a lean machine, and is an excellent role model to her 6-year old son.

Amy is a wonderful success story. In a little more than a year she quickly established herself as one of the gym’s hardest workers. She has been so successful because she always listens and follows through on what her coaches recommend. She also always asks the right questions, and sends weekly progress pictures. She is truly an inspiration to all who have witnessed her transformation.

Although Natalie was only with us for a short time before moving to San Diego, she is one of our greatest success stories. She was already in pretty good shape, but she wanted more. We put her on a specific nutrition and workout program to help her crush her goals. After moving to San Diego we stayed in touch and we provide advice on how she could effectively and safely cut weight for a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament, which she ended up winning!

Jaclyn is also one of our first members, another “OG.” Initially, her progress was slow, but she persisted and followed the program. She then was accepted into the NYPD, and we worked with her to pass the difficult physical exam as part of Police Academy. She passed with flying colors!

When she first joined, Giuliana was skeptical. After speaking with us personally, she decided to give us a shot. Being the owner of one of the area's top bakeries, it was tougher for her to have discipline than others. Being around cannolis all day can be difficult! We were there for support throughout the entire process, and she made significant changes to her life. She became such a believer that she became a referral machine, including referring her husband who we worked with personally so he could make his own major transformation.

Long a mainstay of the early morning class, through hot weather and cold weather, Liza never missed a workout. Working for the United States Postal Service can be difficult, particularly during the busy holiday season when they often work seven days a week, but Liza always remained positive and saw her daily workouts as an essential part of her days. This perseverance has certainly paid off, and shows the importance of consistency and hard work.

Arlene started with us on a 6-week challenge and crushed it. During those six weeks she followed our nutrition recommendations to a T and showed up to every class. The changes she made in a short time were amazing. Unfortunately, she had to leave shortly after due to taking a job in Manhattan that required long hours. As soon as she was able to, she returned and picked up right where she left off. She understands a healthy lifestyle is truly a journey, and that temporary setbacks don’t destroy all our progress.

Stef came to us at the recommendation of her husband, who was a TSA Membership Consultant. He had amazing results working with us, and she wanted the same. The photo below is 12 short weeks apart, and she continues to get better and better each day.

Christina also did a 6-week program with us. Pictured below is her The progress during those 6 weeks. She lost an astonishing 7% body fat, and continued to drop body fat as a member.

Alexis is truly an amazing success story. She started her weight loss journey before joining the gym, but she recognized she needed to take it to the next level after hitting a wall. We helped her knock down that wall, and get her back into a dress that fit her in High School!

We're not going to lie, when we first met Erin we figured she would be with us for a month and then leave. She was a bartender and worked some tough hours. To our surprise, Erin wound up becoming one of our top members, consistently showing up to class more than anyone else in the gym and the results of that show big time!

Allie came to us on a mission. She started a YouTube blog about her journey with us from Day 1. It's amazing going back and watching the videos to see her progress and how hard she worked to get from point A to Point B. Allie loved us so much that she started working for us!

Adriana, a mother of two, is an original Squat Academy – Manalapan member. During our time with us she has crushed it. Always positive, always encouraging, and always hard-working, Adriana is an inspiration to her coaches and her fellow members. It is hard to believe, but prior to joining us she had only trained at home and had never trained in a fitness facility. In a short time she has crushed many of her goals. Simply put, she’s a rock star!
