Testimonials about Tim:

                                                                                  

There are three reasons that I have trained with Tim for over 13 years:  expertise, variety, and RESULTS!

 Tim is truly the master of meeting his clients where they are at in their journey to “their best self,” and helping them achieve far more than they ever thought imaginable.  Tim has helped me to achieve so many fitness goals – ranging from completing a half ironman, to lifting respectable amounts in local Crossfit competitions, to working my baby weight off after giving birth (and it all came off)!  His level of knowledge and expertise, and his passion for teaching and educating his clients, is unparalleled in the industry.

 Many people ask me how I can train every week for over a decade with the same trainer, and the answer is simple – variety.  Tim keeps fitness interesting and makes working out fun.  In the past I have struggled with plateaus and breaking through to the next level, but not with Tim.  He always knows how to appropriately push just beyond your comfort zone and it keeps you coming back for more!

 At the end of the day, I believe that people make an investment in a personal trainer because they want coaching and accountability, but also because they want RESULTS.  I have gotten results…and I keep coming back because the results keep coming.  And it’s not just me.  In the 13 years that I have trained with Tim, I have watched him train a woman who lost more than 100 pounds, rehab a child who was told they would not walk again to be able to walk unassisted, and seen him work with more Division 1 college athletes than I can remember.  We would not keep coming back if we were not getting results.

 If you are looking to truly change your lifestyle – and your entire life – I strongly encourage you to work with Tim.  He will give you the guidance, accountability, and persistent push to get you beyond where you thought possible!

Thank you Tim and 360 Fitness!

  

When my daughter went away to college, I decided I was going to invest in myself and started personal training with Tim Mikulance of 360 Fitness. I had seen how he worked with people so individually and catered to their needs and thought I am going to go for it. That was 10 years ago….Tim helped me to get ready for 3 marathons and I even got a Boston qualifying finish at the age of 49! He has rehabbed me after all of these events as well….many, many times!

In 10 years I have never done the same workout twice! When Tim opened up 360 Fitness, I was all in! There was no way I was going to change what has been working for me for that long

Surprisingly, what I really love now at 360 are the Sweat workouts. I love the challenge of these small group workouts. We feed off of each other’s energy and have a blast even though they are so hard. I am usually the oldest in the group but I never feel like it! I work as hard as I can and love to push myself!

When I workout at 360 Fitness I am more present than I am at any other time of the day. I am so grateful for my health and fitness level. if it wasn’t for Tim and his amazing staff, there’s no way I would be this strong! You have to try this place out. Throughout my life I have been a member of many health clubs and nothing compares to what happens at 360!

About 8 years ago, I began experiencing lower back problems that affected many of the sports I enjoyed, especially golf and running. I considered myself to be in average physical condition, but I could not get relief from the constant lower back pain. I began training with Tim Mikulance, who immediately helped me learn about the importance of core strength. Through a combination of individual and group TRX, interval circuits and strength training, he has helped eliminate all of my lower back issues, and I now have the best core strength and cardio endurance that I’ve had in over 10 years.

I began training with Tim Mikulance over 7 years ago when I was looking to add strength training to my workouts. Tim continually pushes me to do things that I never dreamt I would do (like motivating me to train for a half-marathon when I have never been a runner)! Due to Tim’s knowledge regarding strength training, endurance training, and nutrition I am in the best shape of my life!

Tim Mikulance is a truly excellent trainer.

Because of his efforts, I am stronger and weigh less. Tim has been my personal trainer for just 3 months and the results I have achieved to date are largely due to his combination of diverse training methods, individualized exercise programs and challenging yet achievable goal setting.

His professionalism and extensive knowledge (including TRX & a great recommendation for the perfect Protein Recovery Powder) provides the perfect scenario for success and sets foundations for my new healthier lifestyle!

Tim embodies change. Through consistent and positive feedback and encouragement, he retrained my body.

He discovered the athlete in me that I never knew.

Thank you Tim, you are the best!

                                                                

Having group trained with Tim for over 6+ years, we find ourselves living very fit and total healthy lives. Tim motivates and educates us while allowing a little fun along the way. Best testimonial is from our doctors who keep on telling us that at the ages of 54, we are in the small minority of people living lives with no medications.

I started working out with Tim 12 years ago. My initial goal was to lose the final 50 lbs. in my weight loss journey. I expected to become physically stronger and healthier. I wanted to learn how to best use the resources in the gym and I wanted the extra motivation that comes with committing to working with a personal trainer. I joined a gym and was assigned a trainer… not Tim. While I worked out with my assigned trainer or on my own, I kept an eye on Tim’s approach to training. The types of things he was doing with his clients were the types of things I wanted to be doing. They were doing a wide variety of activities, weight training and cardio mixed, and they were SWEATING!! Tim was kicking their butts and making them work hard. That’s what I wanted and needed. I talked to Tim, switched trainers and it’s now 12 yrs. later.

I achieved my initial goal. I lost the weight and yes, I became physically stronger and healthier. But I got so much more than I ever imagined I would when I searched for a trainer. Tim’s approach to fitness and training focuses on the whole package. Fitness, nutrition, and emotional well-being. I would have been able to reach my initial goal by improving in just 1 or 2 of those; however, by following Tim’s approach and focusing on all areas, I am becoming the person I want to be. I can set and achieve bigger and better goals in all areas of my life. Work, personal life and my physical fitness. Tim invests so much of his time and effort into my success, and the success of all of his clients. I really do feel as though Tim is on this journey with me. My success is his success. He’s my voice of reason, biggest cheerleader, and was the first person to get me to believe that I CAN. He pushes me to my limits and realizes that those limits change on a daily basis. His workouts are organized and tailored to my own abilities yet flexible enough that he can change them on the fly if the need arises. I never know what I’m going to get when I show up for my session… heavy weights/low reps, interval training, boxing, stretching, basketball, spinning… Outside?? Inside?? Always a surprise. It keeps the workouts interesting and exciting and it allows me to continue to make forward progress. He focuses on the goals I have, yet finds creative ways to accomplish them. No boredom for me!!

As things in my life have changed, my goals and abilities have changed right along with them. Tim and I revisit my goals on a regular basis and he does his homework to tailor my workouts to meet those goals. When I reach a road block, it’s not uncommon to receive an email from Tim with an article he found on the internet that may just help me out. Yep, when I found my trainer 12 years ago, I never expected to find someone who cared about my overall wellbeing 24/7, not just for the 2-3 hours/week we meet to workout.

Tim brought me back to living an active life! After a car accident, and two rotator cuff surgeries, I had gained weight and had very limited mobility of both arms. Even after lengthy sessions of physical therapy, I couldn’t enjoy the water sports that I have loved my whole life.

After less than 6 months working with Tim, I had lost over 10 pounds (and have kept that and more off), as well as am back to enjoying kayaking, tennis and almost full extension of both arms. My surgeon said that I have recovered better than 99% of his patients, and I owe it all to Tim.

Not only has he been able to get me back to doing the things I love and fitting in 2 smaller size clothes, he also has made me want to maintain this with his positive words and actions. He listens, is truly concerned about more than your physical wellbeing but the mental state that may contribute to going back to old habits…

He recently helped me prepare for a big event… my son’s wedding. My arms never looked better in the strapless gown I wore.

I can’t imagine being without Tim as a trainer… and a friend.

There are few people in life that you consider critical and instrumental to your ability to achieve your goals and fulfill your potential. Tim Mikulance is one of those individuals in my life. As a petite and slight individual who struggled athletically as a youngster, I came to Tim lacking both physical and mental strength. While endurance was not an issue for me, I lacked speed and power, but more importantly I lacked the belief in myself one needs to push forward and see possibility.

I now have that because of Tim. With Tim’s help, I took more than an hour off my Ironman time. While that’s a great accomplishment, what was more meaningful was finally believing and understanding that I could do it. Thoughts of “I hope,” transformed to “I can” or “I will.” From Tim, I built muscular strength as well as mental strength.

Tim’s sessions, are often the highlight of my day or week. He strikes the right balance between knowing how to encourage beyond what you think you can do and recognizing when you’ve finally reached your limit. He balances expectation with care. You always leave an encounter with Tim feeling a sense of accomplishment, a small victory that gives you the confidence to move forward on your next task whether at work or play.

He has that charismatic ability to inspire you even with a simple “Go Pammy” shouted from the sidelines.

Tim’s value is not limited to those who pursue endurance goals. He will always play a role in my health and wellness efforts so that as I age I can continue to enjoy a lifestyle.

Tim is so knowledgeable when it comes to training, I call him “Professor”.

He’s great to work with, pushing you just enough to get great results, without over doing it. Always with a smile. He’s the best!

I worked with Tim as a trainee in his functional strength classes for endurance athletes, as well as TRX classes. He has a huge knowledge base and really gets after it. It made a big difference in my performance. In addition, Tim is very personable and someone I call with a question or just to say hey. If you aren’t training with him you should be!

I started training with Tim Mikulance 10 years ago when I was entering high school and had goals to be a successful high school athlete. Tim’s focus of functional movement and agility training in young athletes was the foundation of my high school success as he prioritized form and technique to prevent injury. As I got older, Tim used that foundation as the basis of my strength training focusing on developing the strength needed for a track athlete. Tim knows that champions are created in the off-season every hop, skip, jump and squat in the off-season resulted in me being a Wisconsin All State Track Athlete in the 200m, 400m and 4x400m.

Tim is one of the most dedicated personal trainers that I have encountered. Tim is constantly developing himself and enhancing his knowledge for the betterment of his clients. I hold him in the highest regard for his ability to breakdown a situation and problem solve from the ground up. He doesn’t focus on the result; he focuses on the cause. Beyond the knowledge of his craft, Tim is professionally driven to help his clients succeed in whatever it is they choose to participate in; and can instill a sense of motivation in the people he works with that they may not know exists. I could clearly hear his voice as I during the many track meets he attended during my high school career.

Personally, Tim’s knowledge and training is my foundation as a Graduate Assistant Athletic Trainer at Syracuse University. He is one of my biggest supporters and has continually provided support, listening to me contemplate college, work, or fitness in general, he has never stopped listening and acting as a key advisor in any small amount of success I can claim as an athlete or professional. Tim truly cares about the whole individual, not just their fitness goals and achievements but their familial, personal, and well-being goals and achievements.

I have been fortunate enough to train with Tim for an extended period of time and I recommend him, and his team at 360 Fitness, with the highest regard.

 
360 Fitness is clearly ahead of its time. With great instructors, attention to detail and an ability to offer a great variety of workouts not some of the time but all the time!! I have come along way in fitness and strength which is a 100% a result of the exemplary service and knowledge of the 360 fitness team. Great job Tim – keep up the great work !!! Jimmy

Testimonials about Matt:

                                                                

I started working with Matt as part of a weight loss program, but we quickly established that my fitness goals went well beyond weight loss to lifelong strength, flexibility, balance and control as I get older. Matt created a rigorous and challenging program for me, and soon had me accomplishing things I wouldn’t have believed possible. His focus on doing things the right way gave me the confidence to succeed. Thanks Matt!

I have been working with Matt for three months and have seen amazing results. I have never felt stronger or healthier. I used to see a chiropractor once a week for my back. Since I have been working with Matt, I have not seen the chiropractor since the end of last year. Matt is passionate about fitness and it shows through the energy and enthusiasm he brings to every session. He makes every workout challenging but fun. He always pushes me beyond what I think are my limits. If you are serious about changing your life for the better, I could think of no better trainer than Matt.

Thanks Matt, you are the best!

Working with Matt has had an extremely positive impact on my life. Having the accountability to come in, work my hardest and gain the confidence to know the proper way to experience exercise are only a few of the positives from my time at 360 Fitness. Matt’s approach is unique and collective – from getting the right nutrition to promoting the importance of sleep, he has helped me create a great balance that moved my fitness to the next level!  Thank you Matt! 

Matt is an excellent trainer!  Not only is he knowledgeable, he is also encouraging and positive.  He makes working out fun, he continually comes up with new and challenging things and pushes me to do more than I ever thought I was capable of.  I feel healthier and stronger than I have in 30 years!!!!

Testimonials about Lauren:

Tbh, initially I started so I could use up the sessions I purchased for a loved one. In our first sessions I realized I had missed the feeling of the gym. At my stage in life and business though a guided approach is more realistic. Doing 1-3 sessions a week keeps me on track. Pushes me to do the home stuff so not to waste our time. The result so far is extremely noticeable. Better energy, increased strength, more accountability. The personable nature but toughness is great. I don’t need to be babied but sometimes a push is necessary due to the wuss factor. Go heavy or go home.  Having a trainer is best for accountability and variety. I don’t have the time to research or know what exercises to do to switch things up. Make the muscles keep guessing!

 

I started training following PT for an injury to my knees during a move. When I began, I was not able to walk more than a block or two without pain and my knee buckling, I was only able to climb stairs by leading with my right leg and bringing my left leg up. When I stood after sitting for a while, I had to stand for several seconds before I could put weight on my left leg. I am now able to walk at least a quarter mile without pain or buckling, climb stairs, and walk after standing up. These are exciting moments for me! While the primary focus is still on my knees, that is not the only area that gets a workout. It’s important that my whole body be able to function well. Great knees can only do so much if I can’t sit up or open a jar!

Lauren has been an amazing trainer. She is very intuitive with the workouts she puts together and places an emphasis on correct form. We realized very early in our sessions that I had been doing squats wrong my entire life-something that would’ve continued to be missed (resulting in injury or lack of progress) without the one-on-one attention from a personal trainer. I’m always motivated to show up to our sessions because I truly enjoy our time together and have fun while getting in a great workout. Her easygoing demeanor and genuine passion for living a healthy life inspires me to continue making good choices throughout the rest of my week. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone of any ability. She will make you feel comfortable, capable, and strong while kicking your butt!

We initially sought out a personal trainer to help us gain and maintain strong muscles, so that as we age, we can continue to live life to its fullest.  Working with Lauren allowed us to have very personalized sessions that have met our specific needs.  She adds variety and makes it fun while still encouraging us to work hard and improve ourselves. Lauren challenges us with tough workouts and cheers us on to get us through them.

We have really enjoyed having Lauren as our strength trainer!  She also encourages us while making sure we are doing the exercises correctly.

Besides the physical benefits we’ve received, it’s given us something positive to focus on over the last few years.  

If someone is looking for a strength trainer, we’d highly recommend Lauren!

My overall diet and motivation to workout has changed while working with Lauren. She made me feel comfortable, never made me feel judged and was always my biggest cheerleader! I have always, for as long as I can remember, been nervous to work out with other people or nervous to go to the gym by myself due to me being self conscious, and Lauren changed that for me when I was with her. The money and time I have invested have been more than worth it, my overall health is better and I have now gained an amazing friend!
 
One of the biggest benefits I remember from working with Lauren and the 360 fitness team was when I first injured both my knees due to running. They took the time out to help repair my knee, provided me with stretches, exercises, and changed the workout routine to make it tolerable. I was extremely grateful that the time was taken to find out how my knee was injured and that research was done to help understand what I needed to do to fix it. They truly went above and beyond.
 
Long term I have tools that I have learned from Lauren, such as, what exercises work best for me, what I enjoy doing for exercise and what diet works best for me so I can continue a healthy lifestyle. I would 100% recommend Lauren to my friends and family, knowing they would be in great hands and that they would benefit immensely with their experience with her.
I can honestly say I have always hoped I would find someone like Lauren to help motivate me and FINALLY feel comfortable with. She has guided me in the right direction since I first started with her, she has continued to reach out to me, keep in contact, and never failed when it came to motivating me.

Before I started training with Lauren, I was never consistent in exercising. I tried countless different activities, classes, and programs to stay motivated, but always quickly fizzled with holding myself accountable and prioritizing exercise over everything else on my To-Do List-I am the QUEEN of excuses. When I started working from home due to COVID-19, I realized quickly that I needed to find a way to incorporate fitness into my routine for the sake of my mental health and a little “me” time. Virtual teaching with a 5 month old baby at home was not a stress-free gig. 

 

I had all of the exercise equipment at home I needed to be successful, but no clue where to begin or how to use it. Lauren swooped in and created customized workouts for me that were flexible with my new “norm”, not intimidating, and taught me how to strengthen and use my body. She consistently listened to all of my feedback, likes/dislikes, and concerns to continue to adapt the workouts each week to best help me meet my goals. Lauren also kept me accountable in her own unique way by making sure I sent a “sweaty selfie” after each workout. While this might seem silly, it has been amazing to look back and think about how that “selfie” was the ONLY reason I would force myself to workout some days in the beginning, but now I no longer need that as the motivating factor because I LOVE Lauren’s workouts. Every workout Lauren creates is fun and engaging, while being challenging. She teaches me the proper way to do each movement, while also providing affective modifications if I might need them. I always end each workout covered in sweat, but with a smile and zero regrets of prioritizing exercise over my To-Do List. In just the last two months, Lauren has helped me shred over 20 inches so far and we are not done yet! 

 

I am so thankful for Lauren and 360 Fitness for a noticeably healthier and stronger version of myself.
