Fantastic experience: The gym atmosphere is awesome. It's a real community vibe. The personal trainers, especially Bhav, really care and do a great job with their clients.

Fantastic experience: Training at Bao has been an awesome experience since the first day I walked through the doors about two years ago. The staff is friendly and personable, the facilities are spotless, and the community is close knit with options for various classes/clubs. Bao's staff has faced the challenges posed by the pandemic head on and created a greater experience as a result. This is the gym to go to in town.

Fantastic experience: I had been a member of a municipally run gym for some time, however, after having been exposed to BAO, it was an easy decision to become a member. BAO has everything you could want at a gym, (equipment, classes and boot camps) plus an amazingly friendly atmosphere. The ownership is involved on a daily basis, the trainers are receptive and accommodating, the membership cares about their gym. Social distancing and cleaning on an ongoing basis has become normal protocol, with everyone doing their part, from ownership to membership. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend BAO to anyone interested in fitness in a friendly environment.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism I highly recommend Bao institute, it’s clean and professional, owners are super friendly and well educated about the industry. Elaina has been my personal trainer for a short while now, I love the challenging workouts and the results.

Fantastic experience: I have been with this gym for many years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. It is a very clean and caring place. We were able to have classes via zoom all through the closer. Now the place is very well equipped to handle the present situation. It just has that personal touch.It also has top instructors.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The staff are super friendly and easy to approach for any advice, they have great equipment variety and the 24/7 access is super convenient! The gym is super clean and the staff take great care of the equipment. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get started and any serious lifters!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. Have been a member for over 20 years and I’d never go anywhere else. The facilities are up-to-date and clean. Have been very impressed with their handling of COVID rules and restrictions. Staff are amazing-always smiling, welcoming and ready to help members with exercise suggestions, correcting your form, or ways to make the exercises more challenging (thanks Jeff). During these lockdowns it has been especially difficult not being able to go to the gym and that is where Bao has really stepped up. The home workouts that they have posted have been fantastic. They are so motivating, challenging and there’s a lot of variety. Not only has it alleviated the boredom, but it’s been fun learning new exercises and routines and really challenging myself to get through some of these really tough workouts. And Elaina has been awesome at addressing any technical issues or questions I’ve had immediately. Thanks guys for all your hard work; you really go above and beyond. It’s truly appreciated.

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful to have found this gym. Having been to a number across the years, this has everything you want in a gym. It is truly 24/7 accessible, is phenomenally clean, has enough equipment, and the right kinds, lots of changeroom space, lots of parking, and wonderfully friendly staff. The employees and owners seem to know everyone by name, and the guests all feel friendly, as well as hardworking and focused on their workout. I have felt completely safe going in evening hours as a solo woman, have never had to wait for a machine, and have felt safe during the COVID time and procedures. Thanks so much, BAO, for the wonderful space. Getting back into a gym routine coming here has already done so much for both my mental and physical health, and I'm so glad to have become a member.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Training at Bao is a very positive experience, the staff and owners are available for questions if any. The gym floor in not over crowded and kept very clean, I'm looking forward to many more training sessions there!!

Fantastic experience: I had experienced serious leg injuries and it was a long rehab. Training with Bhav dramatically increased the strength in my legs enabling me to get back running, playing with the kids etc..Bhav and the staff at BAO were fantastic in helping me reach my goals.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Bao Institute has well maintained machines in a spotless environment. The air circulation is excellent and the floor is never crowded. Staff are always welcoming and give professional advice. A variety of classes and machinery offer options for most work out demands.

Fantastic experience: Bao offers everything I need in a gym but with a level up in friendly staff, a welcoming environment and fantastic services. Recently I completed an in-body scan that will help me to achieve the more specific results I am looking for. Their trainers are hard working and knowledgeable and most importantly nowadays, the place sparkles as the members and staff try to take care of the facility and each other.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Always my favourite place to workout! Love the new set up.. See you all there!

Fantastic experience: BAO is by far the most inclusive facility I have ever had the pleasure to work at and workout at. Brian and Elaina are amazing! They truly care about their members and staff and have gone to great lengths to adapt during these uncertain times to keep the facility clean and safe. Our members are the best. You cannot walk onto the gym floor without someone saying hello. If anyone out there is looking for a comfortable and non pretentious place to workout, BAO is for you.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Bao Fitness is one of the best gyms ive gone to from the layout to the friendly staff/members even the clean environment. The gym has everything you need to get gainz or to get cut - Elijah Pierre

Fantastic experience: I have to congratulate management AND staff for their efforts to ensure that all members are able to exercise in a safe and healthy environment. Regular cleaning and disinfecting of the gym, machines and weights maintains this environment. Further all members assist in this regime by respecting others and following (now) established social protocol. The instruction, both individual and in classes, is optimised to ensure social distancing while being first rate with much encouragement to support the achieving of ones goals. Again thank you all for your continued diligence!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town by far. Never too busy and the staff is always friendly and professional.

Fantastic experience: Quiet gym equipped with everything you need for a good work out, very friendly staff and has WiFi.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a friendly staff. Lots of room and equipment to choose from for a great workout!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Bao for about 20 years. I like that it is casual and intimate. The owners and staff listen to the members and gear the classes to their needs, making each class adaptable for all skill levels. Their teachers are very experienced and up to date, always changing the classes so nobody gets bored. Bao was able to run excellent classes on Zoom during the COVID 19 shut down with lots of options. They really stepped up to meet the sanitizing guidelines making our return stress free. Great job!!! From, Michele

Fantastic experience: I had such a good experience with Bao Institute fitness, great place for my physical training with dynamic staff! Never too overcrowded and always clean place. I recommend

Fantastic experience: Great place to go for a workout. The classes are great, I never had to wait for equipment, towels are no longer included I can go anytime I want with my pass. As far as the dress code comments.. yup there's a dress code. I don't understand the outrage.. I don't go to the mall shirtless .... because there's a dress code

Fantastic experience: Great gym, hometown feeling, no intimidation factor, and really clean. The owners care about their members, and trainer Jeff was able to help me to gain a ton more mobility from an old injury.

Fantastic experience: Bao goes above and beyond for their members. The gym is well equiped and has everything you need-- from all the workout equipment you would need to numerous classes like zumba, cycling and yoga. The staff are incredibly friendly, always willing to help you out in any way they can while in the gym. I am currently writing this review in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, excited to start the ZOOM body sculpting class that Bao has organized, using the weights Bao has made available so we can maintain our health and fitness during this difficult time. The Bao team is works tirelessly to facilitate a great experience for members, whether it be adding new classes, renovating their spaces, and buying more equipment to make it more accessible and easy to use. As a member of over 5 years (and 20 pounds later!), I am so grateful for the Bao institute and cannot recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym I am there 6 days a week .It is never to crowded even when busy . Staff is very friendly and helpful

Fantastic experience: Well maintained facility, staff are always there to help you. It's smaller gym, but almost has everything you would need. Also rarely ever gets overcrowded which is a bonus. Also a great studio to use late at night when empty! The Bao's are fantastic people!

Fantastic experience: BAO Fitness is clean and has friendly employees. The owners and employees care about their members and offer a great selection health and nutrition, and services. Locally owned and operated and always giving back to the community. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: BAO has great staff and ownership. The owners care about people thru fitness, health and nutrition, and services. I'm impressed on how they give back to charity, local causes, and supporting local businesses like mine. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Bao is by far the best fitness/ wellness center this town has to offer! Been a bao member since it opened and I am always happy with the service, educated trainers, clean equipment and the owners are amazing!!! Not to mention they have Delicious smoothies, if your tired of a factory gym and are looking for a personal exclusive gym bao is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Gym! I highly recommend them as they respect people who have poor body images (its tough going to a gym when your really overweight and see all these fit people in very revealing clothing). They also stand up for themselves and don't let entitled gym brats to destroy to their atmosphere!!!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I love going to Bao. Friendly staff, variety of machines, classes and weights to choose from. Even on a busy day/night always have a machine available to complete our workouts.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym!!! Been a member for five years. Love the intimate gym setting. Not intimidating atmosphere for men, women or newby's. Personal trainers have played a huge roll in my transformation and love for fitness. Love that BAO offers a variety of fitness classes and practices and overall healthy lifestyle image. I highly recommend this gym, especially if you are new to exercise and enjoy working out in a professional setting!!

Fantastic experience: I have never been much of a gym rat and the gyms I have tried in the past were always intimidating with large rooms filled with fit people who knew what they were doing- nothing like me. :) And the staff at these other places always seemed too busy to interact or assist with machines or form. After trying out BAO for the first time in December, I was instantly impressed by the level of professionalism and friendliness of all the staff. My personal training sessions with Elaina were just great- I felt like I was working out with a friend. And she’s one of the owners! After our sessions I was expecting she would try and sell me a membership but instead she encouraged me to continue my fitness goals when and how I wanted because she wanted to see me succeed. I have since joined BAO as a member and am looking forward to my time there.

Fantastic experience: Been going for almost 20 years. Keeping me young and beautiful

Fantastic experience: I'm an amateur athlete it is important for me to have the right equipment and staff around me so i can perform at my highest level. BAO has all I need and more so that I can reach my goals and the staff helps me get there. BAO is a great gym!
