Reviews of Profectus Athletics (Gym)

Ashley McPhee

This gym is absolutely amazing! It is not a huge space, but it has all the right equipment for lifters. They also have good cardio equipment and 24/7 access for members. The owners and trainers are very friendly and will make you feel right at home! The pricing is also very competitive. Definitely recommend!!

If you’ve been avoiding working out because you’re intimidated by or feel uncomfortable in a large gym, Profectus is the perfect place for you! Ben and Leila know and greet you by name when you walk through the door. Their focus is to help you meet your goals, and they do that in a professional, personable, and encouraging way. From my first inquiry to signing up and starting to exercise, Ben has been responsive and helpful. My only regret is not joining Profectus sooner!

They have flexible hours for all their personal trainers. Great for busy people like me!

Great gym for experienced and newbie alike. Welcoming environment and knowledgeable trainers. Equipment is in excellent condition and the place is routinely cleaned. 10/10 would lift again

Best gym in Sherwood!

This is a small but very well-stocked 24-hour gym in the heart of Sherwood. Their defining asset is a team of incredibly dedicated trainers. I train weekly with Leila, one of the owners, and have a key fob for unlimited access to the gym the rest of the time. I have had other trainers before in the past, but none as helpful as Leila.The weekly workouts with her are always varied (new combinations or variations every time!) and seem to have been thoughtfully created with my specific needs in mind. She also designs workouts to guide me through my independent sessions during the rest of the week. She has a knack for assessing quickly where I should start, knowing which specific goals will help me best get to my bigger goals, and designing incremental progressions to get me there. So encouraging and hopeful! She consults with me about diet and nutrition and is extremely knowledgeable. She follows my food journal and offers both motivational tips and helpful nutritional information. She is mindful about noticing modifications needed: she noticed me favoring an old injury and taught me how to functionally strengthen the area without risking further damage. I like to lift heavy, but I've met some of her clients who don't, so I think her style is very adaptable. Don't know the other trainers well, but I work out with their clients sometimes and they all seem just as happy as I am! Great choice for local, highly personal, non-intimidating training.

I’ve been working out with Ben Perez for almost 2 years now. I was a non-exerciser before I found this gym. They are all wonderful! Ben customizes workouts to work with my arthritic knees. I can see results...by body shape is changing, I’m losing weight and keeping it off! Ben, Leila, Peter, and Brooke have all been very encouraging! They are like a second family!

I joined Profectus 3 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did for myself. I train with Ben 3 times each week. He’s amazing and I feel fit, healthy and great. Thank you Profectus.

After hearing much about this spot from a variety of their clients, I decided to pull the trigger and join this gym. Providing a handful of services and plentiful equipment useful to nearly anyone in any fitness condition, I would highly recommend Profectus Athletics. Its relative small size and long hours of operation goes quite a ways to provide an array of experiences, from privacy to comradery, that the mega gyms cannot match. If you are interested in fitness, this place is not intimidating or out of reach. It'll feel like home in no time.

This gym is not like any other I’ve experienced! It is small and personal and private. Ben Perez, proprietor and my trainer, personalizes my workouts and knows how far to push and how to motivate me. He works with all body types and to my strengths and weaknesses. My chronic low back pain is improving after only two months which is life changing for me! Believe me, I am no gym lover and I look forward to my time there!

Encourager- someone who inspires with courage, spirit and confidence. I have been working with @benperezfitness at @profectusathletics for two months. He pushes me beyond what I think I can do and somehow knows where that breaking point is as well. I am down 11 lbs and 10 inches. But I am UP in energy, consistency and hope!!! Ben is more than a coach or trainer.....he is my team leader. Thank you, my friend, for believing in me and holding me accountable!!!

I have been training with Ben at Profectus since November 2018. To say committing to something like this is frigtening is an understatement. The minute I met with Ben he made me fee comfortable and at ease, explaining the process and really listening to my concerns regarding injuries etc. To date, I am stronger and doing things in the gym I never thought possible. It's worth it and the crew and Profectus will take amazing care of you!

Love this place! I've been working out with Ben for well over two years now, and I can't imagine working out with anyone else. He and his wife, Leila, have built an amazing private gym. I highly recommend it.

Beth Collier

Profectus Athletics is the best!! Leila and Ben really make this gym feel like a family!!! Leila is a wonderful trainer and I can’t thank her enough for all she has done and continues to do for me!! I have trained in many gyms and I must say, this is the first one that I have truly enjoyed belonging to!! I absolutely love this place and all of the people associated with it!! Come join our Profectus Family!! You won’t regret it!!

I've been training at Profectus with Leila for over a year now and I have no regrets! I'm much stronger and feel great. intimate gym, great equipment, friendly staff, nice clients.

My husband and I joining Profectus and training with Ben every week is the best thing to happen to us in a long time. I was a gym phobic couch potato when I joined, and now almost 2 months later, I’m impressed every week by strength I never knew I had. I surprisingly don’t dread my training sessions with Ben. He’s hilarious, down to earth, and inspires us to be the best versions of ourselves. If you’re looking for a gym to join, check out Profectus! You won’t regret it.
