Yes, this gym is great!!!!! If you’re just starting out and not sure what to do first; the trainers and nutritional checks are great to guide you. And the BEST part of all, it’s for ladies of ALL ages….!
I was once a member of anytime fitness, but didn’t have the support system as great as the StarFit Team.

The Kingstowne area really, really needs a new gym. Hopefully Hilltop Village Center or the new Springfield TownCenter will get one.

StarFit Studio, weight training for women only, with Steve, Michelle and Staff is the new address for toning, muscle development and weight loss! I cannot say enough about their program. In all of my years my body never looked this fabulous!!!! Steve and Michele give you tough love; but I promise you this: it will be not only worth it, but addicting.

I actually belong to both and by far prefer StarFit. Steve and Michelle are the best, they make killer workouts fun!

As a female, hands down StarFit Studio wins! The gym is clean, the personal training is just that - personal - NOT 'one size fits all', and having a very involved nutritionist is the winning combination!

StarFit Studio is great. A wonderful combination of weight training/toning and cardio at an affordable price. It is very motivating to work out with other similarly motivated women and trainers.

If you are woman of any age or shape, StarFit by far is the best place to work out. Steve and Michelle run great workouts. They have created quite a friendly community feel. Since December, I have gotten stronger, watch many women become fit and lose weight, and made some new friends. This is something I never really saw at Jungle Gym in Kingstowne.

Starfit isn't just any gym. It's my gym. Michelle and Steve make me feel that way at least. Every workout is personalized for me, and like Cheers, it's where everybody knows your name. Also, I love not having to think about my workout. I can just show up and trust that they will have something great planned that's going to be fun and challenging.

Steve, Michelle and their staff at StarFit Studio make working out fun! They are great trainers and very motivating, and I look forward to my sessions. I have been very happy with the program - cardio, weight training and the nutrition guidance - it provides me the best workout in a reasonable amount of time.

StarFit Studio has been the answer to all my aches and pains. I have never felt so comfortable as I do in the this gym for women only. The workout is totally personalized, with professional trainers overlooking every second of your workout. The gym provides a is spotlessly clean and comfort environment. You walk in the door and feel like you are with family and friends. I strongly recommend this gym for women of any age. I have not felt this good in a long time, more stamina, more energy, sleeping better, less aches and pains - it's a true winner with caring, compassionate professionals!!

StarFit Studio is the best. It combines cardio, strength training, and nutrition counseling--and best of all, a trainer works with you in a small group so that you are doing exercises correctly as well as constantly being challenged. As others have said, it's an affordable and flexible environment, and it's fun! It IS a place where everybody knows your name--and it's right in my neighborhood, to boot. LOVE StarFit Studio!!!!

I am so glad I decided to give StarFit a try last winter! I have been going for 7 months now, and as someone else wrote in the comments, I truly find it addictive. Steve, Michelle and Elyse are not just simply fun to be around: they obviously know a lot, and care about their clients: they know how to help you go from where you are now to the person you want to be, and they do this in a fun and healthy way. I love that you get both fitness and nutrition counseling - I learned a lot about food and how your body reacts to different foods. I also love the company of the women I work out with: it's a beautiful thing to share this kind of journey, getting high-fives for the ups and encouragement for the downs. But most of all I love the results: I love to see that each week I am able to do things I couldn't do two weeks before, I love to feel stronger, I love to feel truly in charge of my food choices, and I love to see the scale give each time lower numbers!

I have worked out many places locally and Steve, Michelle and Alissa are the ultimate in personal training. They make sure each participant delivers their personal best and they are such fun. I enjoy the fast paced workouts and are getting good results. Star Fit RULES! Barbara Lee

Steve and Michelle's Starfit Studios is a great gym for women of all ages and sizes. They provide a total personalized small group work out program along with knowledgeable nutrition expertise...and they do it in a way that is fun and motivating--never boring, which means we keep coming back! So glad they decided to locate in our area--more women should come and check them out. :)

Starfit Studios is Number 1, Steve, Michelle and Elyse provide top notch strength training and nutrition information. They motivate and provide an atomosphere of comfort and caring. I'm doing things I never thought I would (planks, push ups). Work outs are challenging and effective. I love that it is for women only and all the clientele are nice and encouraging. I started out for a 3 month trial and recently extended another 6 months. Love it Love it Love it! Startfit is defnitely #1!

I have lived in the area for many years and this is by far the best gym that provides one-on-one physical and nutritional help to achieve your fitness goals. Both Steve and Michelle are highly qualified professionals who are dedicated to ...their clients. I have been a member for almost 10 months and have great results both physically and medically. I miss it when I can't workout. Its a no brainer - StarFit is your Best Place to Hit the Gym!

StarFit Studio!! Gym + excellent, knowledgeable personal trainers + nutritionist, all for one price. I've seen nothing else like it. Great for any level of fitness training from a first timer to the seasoned athlete.

Most definitely, StarFit Studio! I've tried several gyms and felt uncomfortable. The small group sessions provide for some one-on-one training and the added benefit of sharing your journey with several other women working toward a common goal. I love walking in and knowing that Steve and Michelle know me, my strengths and my limitations. I always leave wanting to come back and work harder to achieve my personal best!

I love StarFit! You go in, you meet friendly and helpful people, you laugh a lot and after an hour, you have had a great workout including weights and cardio! The scheduling is flexible and you can set up work out times from you iphone. If you want to find a work out you can actually look forward to, you have to try StaFit Fitness in Hayfield Shopping Center.

StarFit is a great place to workout! The fact that training sessions are limited to a maximum of four people you are sure to get quality, personalized training each time you go in. The staff is always very helpful and attentive...if you tell them you have a goal they will do their best to keep you on track to achieve it. Give them a try, you won't regret it!

I totally agree with everything that's already been said about StarFit Studio. I have also worked out at many other gyms and the thing that makes StarFit so much BETTER is the camaraderie and personal attention. It's a great workout and the time flies by. Every woman in Kingstowne should try it!

Starfit Studio gets my vote! It's great to work out with a small group of women but get personalized training at the same time. Steve and Michelle and staff are enthusiatic and knowledgeable - they give you the push you need to see results!
