Find out what members have to say about Basics!

Basics Fitness Center has provided Turning Point Cardiac Rehab graduates with a facility to exercise in that follows the philosophy that we teach our patients. Our patients report that they enjoy the friendly atmosphere of both the staff and other participants. The one-on-one support that they receive makes them feel like they are a person and not just a number walking through the door. The quiet, softer atmosphere supports the focus on the mind/body they have learned at Turning Point. Out patients have been able to walk in at Basics and have a seamless continuance and continuity with their rehab program which gives me the confidence to refer our patients to Basics Fitness Center.

I have belonged to many health clubs before and have never been able to stick to a program. I have been a regular at Basics for 9 months, I don't know if its the friendly staff, the cleanliness, or the ease of use with the equipment but, whatever it is it works. I have lost 24 pounds and feel great!

Basics Fitness Center and nutritional counseling from Lisa Prince has changed my outlook on life. Entering my "senior" years, the importance of exercise became evident. I have a new-found energy and overall feeling of well being. This from a person who has multiple sclerosis and a former couch potato!

The beautiful environment and friendly knowledgeable staff give Basics a "touch of class." The nutritional counseling has allowed me to change my eating habits in such a way that you don't realize you are on a weight loss regime.

I have found the new life-style change to be something I can stay with for the rest of my life.

Thanks to all at Basics!!!

Basics Fitness is by far the finest health club I have ever joined. Matt, Donna and Frank make a point of providing a level of service and attention to detail you typically find only in exclusive health club facilities. The friendly and intimate atmosphere created by this seasoned group of fitness gurus is welcoming rather than competitive. Most importantly, the equipment is all state-of-the-art, low impact, and always in perfect working order. From day one I have enjoyed better health, thanks to Basics. You will not find a better fitness studio in all of southern Maine.

I like that it's clean, roomy, and very quiet for a gym. It is not a place full of narcissitic bodybuilders, just everyday people of all shapes and sizes.

-Mark

I like Basics because you feel relaxed and very welcomed by all the staff.

-Bonnie

I like the quiet, positive atmosphere that I receive here. Most gyms do not take the time to personally greet their clients but Basics does. I am very pleased not only with the environment but also with the excellent workout I get daily with the help of the knowlegable staff. With each workout, I feel better about how I look and also have a more positive attitude. I am grateful to have Basics and will continue to attend as long as I am able.

Three months ago I had constant knee pain and could barely climb ths stairs. Now, I can run up the stairs and take very little pain medication. I've only lost 5lbs but have dropped a full dress size.

Coming to Basics has really improved my quality of life.
