Marc is the best trainer I have ever met! His wonderful gym, Bags and Barbells, is very well equipped. Marc is a professional who provides a well rounded workout. His training includes physical therapy, exercise, health advice and nutrition coaching. I fully recommend Bags and Barbells for personal training and fitness classes, as well as its wholistic approach to complete body and mental wellness. I would be happy to share my recommendation and my experiences with anyone who is interested. As a pharmacist, I know the dangers posed by drugs, and that is why I fully endorse the non drug alternatives provided by Marc.

I've been coming to B&B for a several months now, and it's been absolutely great! What sets this place apart is that Coach Payne (the owner) is ALWAYS there for you. He'll gladly help not only with your workout and adjust where needed, but he'll also give great insight and tips about how your body works, rolling, recovery, pain management and motivation. Heck he'll make you get on the roller and afterwards you'll be glad you did. He also creates a familiar "home made" environment, that is fun, informal, and easy going at the same time. Another great feature I love about this is: you can basically just walk in "anytime" (open hours), no specific class times, so this works really well for who needs to have a flexible schedule. As for the workout program, It's kickboxing mixed with high intensity circuit. To me, it works really well how it blends the KB with other exercises. It took me a few times to fully get the gist of the circuit and the exercises, but I'm happy coach Payne is very present to guide you. Once that is figured out, it goes very well and you end up building good momentum and get a great workout! I'm not a beginner, but I can see it works well for any level. Totally recommend!

NO PAYNE....NO GAIN!!! Coach Payne has 28 years of experience in kickboxing, and his knowledge and expertise really show in his training. He is highly skilled and ensures every session is effective and engaging. His team of assistants is incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming and supportive environment. The gym atmosphere is always positive and motivating. Coach Payne structures the program in a way that makes you feel like you’re getting a semi-private session, providing personal attention while keeping the energy of a group class. Highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to improve their skills and fitness!

Coach Payne is awesome and is the perfect outlier as a value for money enterprise among so many money grabbers in the fitness industry. He is very knowledgeable about the human body and tweaks the workouts with an individual's injuries in mind. Even though you pay for a group workout you pretty much get the attention of a personal coach. This is where I started learning kick boxing for the first time and within a month I was so much more confident in my physicality than before, and I have received lots of complements on my improved physique. He is certainly more than what meets the eye.
