My sister recommended I see Vini and learned about this group style fitness. Im someone who heavily relies on extrinsic motivating factors when working out, so this group style strength and conditioning format I really enjoyed, yet made it feel like personal training with individual attention from coaches whenever needing help. However, I have to dock a star due to the timing of sessions currently offered as it did not work for me due to my shift work schedule. I work a lot of evening shifts as a nurse back to back 3-11:30pm and the latest morning session during the week is only offered at 9

Jared is the best strength coach you will find in the Greater Boston area. He is great for everyone from youth to adults and is the best of the best for sport specific training! If you have not tried out flight you are missing out!

Jared, Dylan, and Vini push you hard to meet your goals but also stress injury prevention and form. Even in group classes, they pay close attention to your individual improvement opportunities. I wasted years of time, money, and injuries on budget chain gyms and overpriced and dangerous CrossFit gyms. Whether you're a high caliber athlete or a newbie, join Flight and you'll never look back.

This new gym is a great spot and the co-owners Jared and Dylan are awesome. You can expect a better training session at FPF compared to a larger gym, likely at a better price. Highly recommend giving these guys a shot.
