What Our Members

Are Saying

Our members love the supportive community and transformative results at Golden State Fitness & Performance. Read their stories and discover how we’ve helped them achieve their fitness goals and improve their overall well-being.

“I had been experiencing aches and pains for some time and they seemed to be getting worse as my profession as an Endodontist reinforced poor postural habits and long hours on my feet. I always enjoyed running and being active, but due to the back aches and other pains I had lost momentum, whcih resulted in unwanted weight gain and stress. I never had any real experience strength training but knew I needed to start. Since, I’ve lost 20 pounds and 6.2% body fat, all “without any changes to my diet. I have a lot more energy, I’ve acheived my weight loss goals, have better posture and I can actually do push-ups and bisce training movements correctly now pain free, and feel a ton better."

I cannot recommend Golden State Fitness & Performance enough to reach your personal fitness goals. I have been virtually training with Dave Bolduc since Shelter In Place started in March. Dave has held me accountable, introduced me to a new world of fitness, and has been educating me along the way. Before Shelter in Place occurred, I would go to spin and barre classes about 3-4 times/week. I signed up for GSFP’s online challenge, which then led me to virtual training with Dave 2x/week. Dave assesses your baseline, gets to know the client, understands their current and desired physical states, and incrementally gets you to your goals. I look forward to my sessions with Dave. I encourage anyone who is interested in exploring new options for fitness to get in touch with GSFP. You won’t be disappointed.

After the birth of my second daughter I went back to the standard trendy group classes I had always attended and almost immediately had a knee injury that required surgery. Leading up to and after surgery I really let my health and fitness goals slide and I was eager to get back in shape. With two small children and a growing consulting business I knew I needed to improve my mental and physical health in order to find balance. Along with rehabilitating my knee I have shed pounds, gained muscle and I fit in clothes I haven’t worn in years. Side effects that I did not anticipate are compliments from friends and strangers about my skin and posture.

I’d like to offer up a major SHOUT OUT to Dave Bolduc and his Golden State Fitness and Performance gym 🙌 I love the workouts because they are tailored for me, diverse so that I’m constantly challenged and haven’t gotten bored once! Plus his trainers are knowledgeable, personable and fun.

In a vastly different world right now, he was one of the first to jump on board creating Virtual Training programs changing his company’s tactics to meet the changing needs of his members.

So a heartfelt THANKS! Not just for your dedication to your obvious love of your business, but for your community. My sanity and exercise routine are in balance thanks to you and your staff.

I was looking for a way to decrease my stress, increase my strength and lower my body fat. I found the solution when I joined GSFP. Both my confidence and my discipline have improved. By showing up 3 times a week (for fear of getting a ‘Where the hell are you’ text from Dave B), I have improved my lean muscle mass and lowered my body fat… I have a waist!!! Since working with GSFP

I have lost almost 40lbs and decreased my

body fat by 11.7%.

Dionne M.

“I have trained previously with GSFP and loved it, but I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive at first about the virtual sessions. Well, I’m on week 5 now and they are actually fantastic and super convenient! I have been working with Dave in both group and individual sessions, and because he is so perceptive and helpful in explaining everything, the transition to video has been seamless. The quality of training has stayed consistent as well, even with less equipment available. Now there are even fewer excuses not to train! The team at GSFP are doing everything they can to get through this rough COVID patch and still support their members. I am just consistently blown away by the above-and-beyond customer service and the commitment to forming great relationships with their members & community.”

5. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SMALL GROUP PERSONAL TRAINING AND LARGE GROUP CLASSES?

Small Group Personal Training vs. Large Group Exercise Classes Small Group Personal Training:

Personalization: Perfect for those who enjoy a supportive group environment but seek the accountability of personal training. Workouts are tailored to the group’s goals while focusing on individual needs.

Attention: Trainers offer more personalized guidance, ensuring each participant has the right form and motivation, with customizable elements like warm-ups based on individual abilities.

Community & Flexibility: Creates a close-knit community where participants support each other, offering a flexible approach to address specific fitness limitations with regressions or progressions tailored to fitness levels. Large

Group Exercise Classes: Advantages and Limitations

Positive Aspects:

Variety & Accessibility: Offers a broad range of high-energy classes, making fitness both accessible and affordable with flexible schedules.

Motivation & Social Atmosphere: Relies on the group dynamic to fuel motivation, encouraging participants to push themselves through collective energy. It’s a great way to meet new people and tap into a larger fitness community.

Negative Aspects:

Limited Accountability: With many participants, instructors may struggle to provide individual attention or maintain accountability, reducing personal motivation.

Overcrowding: Classes can often become crowded, leading to limited space and less interaction with the instructor.

Generalized Workouts: Operates on a “one-size-fits-all” model that may not cater to specific individual goals or needs. Personal fitness levels and limitations can be overlooked, risking incorrect form or ineffective workouts.

Reduced Monitoring: The large group setting makes it challenging for instructors to focus on each participant’s form and technique, potentially leading to improper movements or injury risks.

In summary, while large group classes can be fun and energizing, they may not provide the personalized care or specific attention some individuals might need in their fitness journey.

6. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SMALL GROUP PERSONAL TRAINING AND SEMI-PRIVATE PERSONAL TRAINING?

Small Group Personal Training vs. Semi-Private Personal Training: A Comparison Small Group Personal Training: Group Size: Typically includes around 4-10 participants, creating a community feel while still maintaining a manageable group size. Focus: Offers a balanced approach between individualized attention and group dynamics. Workouts are designed to be adaptable for the group as a whole, while still offering personal touches. Cost: More affordable than one-on-one personal training but slightly more expensive than larger classes. It strikes a balance between cost-effectiveness and personalized attention. Atmosphere:Encourages camaraderie and support among participants, fostering motivation through peer interaction. Customization: While still focused on group activities, trainers often have the opportunity to make minor adjustments for individual needs, ensuring participants benefit from the session. Semi-Private Personal Training: Group Size: Involves a smaller group, usually 2-4 people, allowing for more focused attention from the trainer. Focus: Extremely tailored; these sessions resemble personal training more closely, with workouts designed to fit the specific goals and needs of each participant within the group. Cost: Offers a more cost-effective alternative to full one-on-one sessions, while still providing significant personal attention. Atmosphere: Combines personal coaching with the social benefits of working alongside others with similar goals, encouraging individual achievements as well as group motivation. Customization: Highly personalized – trainers create individualized plans for each participant, adjusting workouts as needed. Key Differences: 1. Group Size and Attention: Semi-private sessions involve fewer participants than small group training, resulting in more personalized attention from the trainer. 2. Customization Level: Semi-private training is more individualized, while small group training offers a balance between group workout dynamics and personalized adjustments. 3. Cost: Both are more affordable than one-on-one sessions, but semi-private is generally more expensive due to the higher level of personalized coaching. In conclusion, small group personal training offers a collective fitness experience with moderate personalization, suitable for those looking for motivation and community without sacrificing individual attention. Semi-private personal training, on the other hand, provides more customized programs and greater trainer focus, ideal for those seeking personal goal achievement within a small group setting.
