Health Coaches at Stevens Square - Portland, Maine

Heather K.

Susan Ahlers is a kind, knowledgeable and extremely patient personal trainer. I booked six sessions with her over three months. My goal was to build strength and flexibility and come up with a strength training workout that I could use on my own 3X a week. With Susan's expert guidance, I'm now stronger, more flexible, and devoted to a routine of strength training. I feel better and I'm finding it easier to do everyday tasks like putting that roller bag up in the overhead bin when I travel. Susan was always so kind about answering every question I had. She encouraged me and gave me the support I needed. I highly recommend her!

Wish I could give 10 stars in this review! The Health Coaches gym is a hidden gem in Portland. The instructors and trainers are ALL fabulous and fun. They place a lot of effort into the variety of classes and the weekly routines so you and your muscles are constantly engaged. It is a great facility and the gym is usually not crowded at all. Having reserved times for swim lanes is luxurious too. You can also sign up for Personal Training. It is small but mighty!

I just wanted to take the time to say thank you. I love that I have the opportunity to belong to this beautiful gym with exceptional and experienced staff members.

Every group class that I take is amazing and so well organized and put together from beginning to end.

The instructors are so warm and friendly and focused on client care, learning and outcomes.

Kyla is an amazing personal trainer and individual. Her classes are amazing and the time and thought she puts into the development of a personalized training program that tailors the individual person that she is working with is spot on!.

You have a great staff and gym, I am so proud to be a part of the HC gym.

Six months ago I walked into Health Coaches to check out a salt water pool I'd heard about. Little did I know that day would be a health-changing experience for me. I met Candy, a coach in the hallway even before getting to the front desk. I told her I was interested in the pool and she gave me a tour of the facility right then. Her description and energy convinced me to sign up and I've been enjoying Candy's water aerobic, Aqua Barre and gentle yoga classes ever since. Her encouragement and knowledge have helped me to increase flexibility, balance, and strength which I didn't even know I was l capable of....
Candy explains which muscles are being worked while you're using them and she often gets out of the pool to demonstrate exactly how to do certain moves, which is very helpful. She emphasizes to exercise at a pace which is comfortable for you and is innovative with techniques whenever you ask for them.
Candy and all the other coaches have helped me to lose over 20 lbs. (so far) and I can honestly say I was never able to get those results on my own before. Health Coaches has brought me to a new hope. And an extra bonus?.....Making new friends.

After several months of physical therapy, I was looking for a place where I could swim and continue exercising regularly. Health Coaches has been a perfect fit for me. The community members are all very friendly, welcoming and supportive of one another. I have had the best experiences working with Susan for personal training and fitness classes. I love the aquatics classes with Hildi, Candy and Randall. And Kyla's classes are so much fun they make me forget I'm exercising. I highly recommend Health Coaches to anyone looking for a community-based approach to their fitness.

I joined this facility when it opened in the summer of 2022 and have been going as often as six times a week for the classes (included as part of dues). It's convenient and clean. The staff is helpful and the trainers are super encouraging to folks at all levels. I love the pool fitness classes, the senior fitness classes, and the yoga class on the pool deck. And Friday's circuit training includes a variety of challenges. The workout area has a great assortment of equipment for whatever anyone might want to do, and the outdoor exercise area is another bonus when the weather is good. The locker rooms, showers and bathrooms are bright and clean. If you take advantage of the classes, it's a very good deal. I'm enjoying getting and staying in shape.

My wife and I took the recommendation of our neighbor to try out Health Coaches. I'm working to rebuild strength recovering from serious health issues. Kyla as personal coach is wonderful. Watches every move and is constantly shaping the program precisely for me. I can feel progress already. Also taking advantage of the classes in the pool with Candy and Randall. Also really great and I can see they will be effective as well.. The facility is really well done. The people are friendly, helpful, and flexible when you need it. I have always kind of hated gyms, and I don't love water. So this is all a big surprise how much I am loving this experience. Very highly recommended.

Love the place! Great workout space with all the equipment and weights possibly needed. Very clean with good light, plenty of windows and an outside workout space. I have been taking personal training sessions with Kyla and can't say enough about her knowledge positive energy. She is showing me a ton of new exercises and personalizes them for my needs, my bodies weaknesses. Been feeling stronger and more flexible due to Kyla!!
Also great little pool, clean not over treated, and tons of natural light!
