Reviews of CJ Strength & Conditioning (Gym)

Emily Kessel

Chris is by the best trainer I have ever come in contact with. He is very knowledgeable and will get you to where you want to be! After running 7 years of cross country, I joined CrossFit and have never been stronger in my life! The community fostered here is so special! Modifications are always available and Chris will meet you where you are at!

I love this gym! The coaches are knowledgable, supportive, funny and genuine. They truly want to help me achieve my goals to be stronger and healthier while being safe and secure with the movements. The workouts are fun and challenging. I am in my 50's and feel stronger than ever!

Before CJ Strength, I thought I was one of those people who would always prefer to exercise on my own. In hindsight, I suppose I was more afraid to exercise in the presence of others, that I wouldn't measure up, might fail or look silly. Then I joined CJ Strength. Chris and Jack have been phenomenal. They have always been supportive, motivational, informative and caring. And that holds true for the gym community as well. I love this place!! And it's people! I am stronger, healthier, happier and can't wait to go back again tomorrow! So, no matter what level you are at, or what your fears may be, go to CJ Strength & Conditioning. You won't regret it!

Since I moved to Maine this gym has become my community. I’ve met so many great people and always enjoy seeing friends when it’s time to workout plus I’m feeling healthier & stronger!

Unlike other gyms where everyone is plugged in to their own headphones and lost in their own world, CJ is a place that promotes a strong sense of community, support, and engagement. Chris and Jack are infectiously enthusiastic and provide spot on coaching that drives you to expect more of yourself!

Melissa Kessel

The owners, Chris and Jack, are dedicated to their members and are motivated to help everyone reach their goals, regardless of what they are. They have worked so hard to build this program to what it is now, and the community that is fostered is truly special. It's the most welcoming and supportive gym community I've been to, and it's all attributable to how the gym is run and the people who are a part of it. No matter what your age, skill level, or experience with fitness is, Chris and Jack will get you to where you want to be and you're guaranteed to have fun while doing so!

I love this gym and the people in it. I am eager to get there, and then right before I get there I realize that it is going to be hard work, and though I never decide to turn around and go home, I do wonder why I pay for this pain each day. I am 66 and though that is older than many, I never feel I am in the wrong class or in the wrong gym. I am so grateful for the gym and the coaches!

Birch Champeon

I've never had a fitness experience like the one at CJ Strength. Having coaches there instructing and encouraging you while working out makes such a big difference. Especially when the coaches are as good as Chris, Jack, and Amy.

Sally Kirkpatrick

A great place to work out. The workouts are serious, though tweakable for individual needs or limitations. The trainers/coaches are very knowledgeable, and encouraging. People work hard and really push themselves, but I have never encountered unpleasant competitiveness. It’s fun, and I’m getting a lot stronger!

Ken von Felten

I love being a member of this gym! Chris and Jack are not only very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and encouraging, but also concerned with maintaining safety and overall health.

Just taking the beginners class but they are great about taking you through slowly step by step, giving you lots of changes to practice and working with you to help you get it right so you don't injured yourself.

Chris and Jack are the best trainers around. I was nervous about being younger than everyone else at the gym and I can say as a fact I have become close with all the gym memebers. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. By far the best gym around town!

Greatest people, greatest times, and greatest workouts!

I haven't been in forever for my own reasons, but if you're looking for a well rounded workout this is the place to go. The trainers are helpful, and always make sure to try and give one on one if needed. Would totally go back if my schedule allowed it.

Diane Zollo

Before joining CJ Strength and Conditioning, I was not a fan of going to the gym. This is different from any gym I have ever been to. Chris and Jack are very supportive coaches and the members are all helpful and friendly. This is so much more than a gym. It's a community. I absolutely love it.
