Lisa P., 71
10+ year member
“I have been training with Charles, owner of Fravola Fitness for more than ten years. Charles is dedicated, knowledgeable and, above all, genuinely cares about his clients. Coming in with some injuries (and then developing other age-related ones), Charles is super supportive — never pushing beyond what I am comfortable with — while still challenging me to do my best or better. Charles has also trained my teenage daughters, who find his workouts both rigorous and fun. I would 100% recommend Fravola Fitness.”
Sylvia Aversano
Semi-Private Training
“I’ve trained at a few gyms over the years and Fravola Fitness is different in the best way. The semi-private setup gives you real coaching and attention without feeling like a chaotic class or overpriced one-on-one training. Workouts are structured, personalized, and actually make sense for where you’re at. If you want smart programming, accountability, and a great environment, I highly recommend Fravola Fitness.”
David Gad
“Training with Charles has been the best personal training experience I’ve ever had — he’s knowledgeable, patient, and truly understands how the body works. Every session challenges me without ever feeling unsafe, and I always leave confident knowing my workouts are designed to push me without risking injury.”
Debbie O., 55
“Working with Fravola Fitness for over 10 years has truly been life-changing for me. I feel stronger and more fit in the gym, and that carries over into my everyday life — whether I’m on my feet all day in the operating room, walking with my wife, or skiing with my family.”
Salil G., 53
“Since retiring and starting at Fravola Fitness seven months ago — especially after my right knee replacement — the difference has been remarkable. I feel stronger and more mobile than I have in years, and the thoughtfully designed workouts keep me motivated and looking forward to every session.”
Dan B., 61
“Fravola Fitness is the best place for anyone seeking a genuine workout built on real education and focus. The endless support and strong sense of community make it feel like the “Cheers” of gyms — I truly couldn’t imagine a better gym family to be part of.”
Marcie S., 40

Dana M., 59
“This is the first time in my life that I’m consistently working out, and it’s all thanks to Fravola Fitness and his expertise, customized training programs and guidance.
