CLIENT REVIEWS

I’ve been training at the Viking Lab for three years and am seeing steady results. Sam has done a beautiful job setting up a premium personal training space. He has truly customized my training program and went so far as to connect with my chiropractor for guidance when I was recovering from a major back injury. Sam has a great sense of humor and is easy to talk to. He is also considerably more knowledgable that other trainers I have worked with in the past. I like how he emphasizes proper form and is methodical about increasing weights to avoid injuries. Sam also does fun things like his famous client appreciation week which keeps it interesting for everyone.

I’ve been training at the Viking lab for the past few months, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing! The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely care about my progress. They take the time to understand my goals and tailor the workouts to fit my specific needs, which has made a huge difference in my fitness journey. The gym is clean, well-equipped, and has a welcoming atmosphere that makes it a pleasure to train here. Whether you're a beginner or experienced athlete, I highly recommend the Viking lab to anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals!"

Sam is truly an amazing personal trainer. I've seen how he interacts with elders, adults and kids, and he knows how to attend to all. He's very professional and extremely knowledgeable, and can help you achieve your fitness goals, whatever they are. He personally helped me regained lost strength after some downtime. Oh, and you may not be able to tell, but he has top notch equipment!

I highly recommend Sam as a personal trainer. He has helped improve my strength and overall health in so many ways. It seems silly, but doing all the small everyday things is effortless now. I mean, it wasn’t difficult to begin with, but I didn’t realize it could be even easier until Sam. My husband also works with him, and now my son. I know my husband worked out with other personal trainers before and saw minor results, but with Sam there were more significant results. So if you’re meh about your current trainer, I’d try switching to Sam! If I could afford it I’d go see him three times a week! Def one of the best things I spend my money on. It also helps that he’s super knowledgeable and friendly. You feel more like you’re going to go hangout with a friend (who tortures you 😆) than going to work out. I mean who doesn’t like “hanging out” with someone who made my butt look soooooo much better than before. 😆

Working with Sam at the Viking Lab has been the greatest investment, by far to my health. He has improved my form which has allowed me to lift the heaviest I ever have and without injury. I feel more confident in the gym with his help. He has answers to every question I ask, backed by his knowledge of the science. And bonus he always has the best music playing to get that energy flowing! I highly recommend training with him! 💯

We have been working with the owner, Sam, for almost a year, and the improvement has been amazing. Sam keeps every workout fresh by changing up the routine. He's also very supportive, and has a great deal of knowledge and experience. We would recommend him to anyone. If you're already in great shape he'll make your workouts more interesting; and if you're just beginning, he'll show you the way!

I’ve worked out with the Viking himself! I was returning from an injury and this lab he has built really helped and pushed me to get to where I was pre-injury. More Viking lab sessions to come!

This is a well-thought-out gym that you would really need to try if you have been away for some time and need motivations, support and a knowledgeable trainer, who patiently works with you on your injuries and special conditions to get you on the road again. I highly recommend Sam (and his gym) because of his energy and professionalism to those in the vicinity. Woof woof !

The Viking Lab has everything you need to help you on your fitness journey. Sam is very knowledgeable and is amazing at finding alternative workouts if you're unable to complete some routine drills. The 1:1 experience with Sam can't be beat. He caters to your needs and goals with no judgement. Definitely my #1 pick over a big box gym!
