Testimonials

“I joined Engage Fitness back in March 2020 and didn't know what to expect... especially with it being conducted online. When EFC started, they had seven instructors offering 21 classes being conducted six days a week. It has since exploded and today there are 20 instructors (from coast to coast) offering over 80 classes and being offered 7 days a week.

I usually take Joan's FitZone HIIT class.

I was in decent shape when I started, but I soon found out what amazing shape she was in and I got my butt handed to me and still do (just not as bad). It's now rolling into two years of EFC classes, and I am fully ENGAGED and proud to say that Joan's classes have helped me increase my cardio, strengthen my body and allowed me to maintain my weight during these crazy times.

I look forward to her LIVE classes 4x a week and hate missing them. Joan has been amazing. She has a passion for health and fitness but what's even more impressive and sets her apart is how committed she is to serving the community. THANK YOU JOAN and the rest of the Engage Fitness instructors. YOU ALL FREAKING ROCK!”

“Engage Fitness Collective is fitness classes that come to YOU in the comfort of your own home. The instructors and participants come from all over the country, with lots of different workouts (I think it's something like 80+ a week!) at various times to suit your schedule. I'm in Ohio and I love taking classes "with" my Mom in North Carolina. If you're not into group fitness or don't want to be seen, you can leave your camera off. It is so worth giving Engage Fitness Collective a try to see for yourself if you like it!”

“I wish I could bottle up the great way I feel at the end of class. Working out is very beneficial to one’s mental health – especially mine!"

“I’ve loved the EFC classes. I mostly have been taking classes on my lunch break with Brenda, which have been outstanding! Generally, I’ve been taking Cardio and Strength twice per week, but today I took Brenda’s Pop Pilates class, which I also loved!!! And on one Saturday, I took FusionFit which was very interesting and fun. I greatly appreciate the large variety of classes and equally important, the variety of class times that are offered. I am super appreciative to be introduced to Engage Fitness.”

"As a busy real estate agent, my days can turn on a dime! Just when I think it is going to be a slow Monday, things can go sideways and my easy day turns into overwhelming just like that. I like to get my workout with Engage Fitness in early as I know if I put it off, my day will get away from me and it won't get done. I know for sure that I am more productive, more alert and have way more energy when I stick to a workout routine, and the days I get really good cardio seem to be the days that I am most on fire and focused."

“I just wanted to share a recommendation for anyone out there who may have made fitness a new year's resolution. You all know that I am no fitness buff and wouldn't be caught dead in a gym even before Covid, so it is no small thing when I say I have LOVED my virtual workouts with Kate Finamore and many other great instructors at Engage Fitness Collective. They offer tons of choices, safe and flexible Zoom classes you can take from anywhere, and are very reasonably priced. And no, this is not a commercial...just wanted to share a great find and support a fantastic and growing small women-owned business! These are stressful times. Stay well and take care of yourself, both body and soul.”

“This is my “can’t wait for class to start, can’t wait to see familiar faces in REAL TIME, can’t wait to sweat and push past my boundaries and feel like I accomplished taking care of myself” go-to place to work out. Endless options to fit your schedule, no matter how insane your schedule is! If you’re on the fence about trying EFC, jump off now! It’s THE BEST.”

“Thank you, Joan and team, for keeping me in shape and grounded during this covid quarantine. Engage Fitness has provided me with a true sense of normalcy and connectedness, and for that I am beyond grateful. The variety in classes and class times allows me to juggle fitness with my endless work related Zoom call meetings. Thank you immensely.”

"Following a non-workout related foot injury, I’ve been sticking with Engage Fitness classes using modifications, and it’s definitely been the right thing to do! I was able to maintain strength and flexibility taking Brenda’s Pilates and cardio/strength classes twice a week, Kate’s FitFlow class, and Pilates with Marissa too (all consistently great instructors). It's good that Engage keeps adding options and switching it up with different timings of classes - and the "pop ups" really help when trying to schedule fitness in between ever changing work meetings. If I only have a half hour between meetings, sometimes I can catch a 15 minute class for a quick release from the stress of sitting at a PC all day. And my kitty Cuddles enjoys joining me for floor mat exercises.”

“Love Engage Fitness! The variety and number of classes per week is amazing! And if you miss one class there’s always something else to try. The instructors are all great and very welcoming. Plus being able to do it from home and join via zoom, makes you feel like you’re in a regular class and you feed off the energy of the others. So glad I joined!!”

“This collaborative online gym is the most bang and quality for your buck you’ll get out there. It provides all types of workouts you’ll need to meet any goals you might have. From Kickboxing to Yoga it provides you with the accountability that comes from scheduled group exercise classes, as well as the community of a team environment. Do not hesitate and give it a try. Nothing to lose but you can make GAINS!”

“Engage Fitness offers everything I could possibly want in the effective, user-friendly, supportive and convenient at-home workout platform. I started in January 2021 on a gift certificate from my daughter and am a convert. I may NEVER go back to the gym.”

“I love Engage Fitness. The online/zoom classes are amazing. So easy to find classes to take, price is very reasonable. I have been taking lots of yoga classes and the instructors are wonderful. Very welcoming to all levels, and very personable. They make it fun to join and easy to follow. It's been so wonderful to take classes from home.”
