One of our family went in looking to shake up their exercise routine and was quickly inspired to share the Best Self community. Less than six months later, the experience has been meaningful enough that our whole family goes to Best Self for the motivation to grow stronger and healthier through encouragement and feedback. Jonathan manages to weave a sense of belonging and personal development into strength and conditioning with his approach to training the whole person. Less

I have been working out at Best Self: Health & Fitness for about three months now. Prior to joining, going to gyms always felt intimidating to me.

I have been working out at Best Self: Health & Fitness for about three months now. Prior to joining, going to gyms always felt intimidating to me. Before going to Best Self, I found myself clinging to cardio machines like the elliptical or treadmill because I was too afraid or nervous to pick up weights or look "stupid" because I was just beginning and learning. From the moment I participated in a class at Best Self, I was hooked. Jonathan is so passionate about fostering a community of learners, and he makes everyone feel comfortable and welcomed. It is truly a safe space, where I feel confident to try new things and step outside of my comfort zone. Jonathan has done an exceptional job of cultivating a community where everyone feels respected, valued, and heard. Everyone is encouraged to have fun, while also working towards obtaining the goals that we have for ourselves. He also has a plethora of knowledge that he is always more than willing to share, and he goes above and beyond for his clients. His dedication, enthusiasm, and positivity radiate throughout the gym. He is phenomenal at what he does, and I feel beyond lucky to have found this new "home," where my stress fades away, and I am able to work towards becoming my best self, surrounded by warmhearted people who have a love for nurturing all areas of ourselves: whether it be physically, emotionally, socially, mentally, etc. Less

I have only been working with Jonathan for a few weeks but I already feel like it's making a profound impact. I've been trying to improve my physical health for a long time but things really took a difficult turn postpartum and I've been struggling to be healthy, despite some chronic injuries. After meeting and working with Jonathan, I finally feel like there is hope for me and my broken-ish body. If you're on the fence, I encourage you to reach out and just give training at Best Self a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed in your decision. Less

I was never a person that liked to workout until I started going to Best Self. Jonathan and the crew were so motivating and truly made fitness exciting! I recommend best self to all my friends and family!

Best self health is the best place to be!!! Jonathan the ceo of the gym, and the other trainers, will put you in the right position to hit your goals. They offer different programs for your individual goals, or group training. When I first began with Jonathan he taught me the fundamentals of lifting. Check it outtt!!!

I started working with Jonathan October of 2019. On and off for a few years but finally developed some consistency about 2 years ago. While Jonathan's dedication to his craft of PT stands out, it's the environment in the gym that he created (and nowadays his staff maintains) that separates them from others. Everyone there is dedicated to the product and personable to all different types of people and personalities. Personal training sessions are in groups (about 4 people/session). This layout has naturally created a community within the gym. People who I've met for the first time eventually become friendly familiar faces - people who encourage and uplift each other. The staff on top of Personal Training offers a library-like selection of books that a client can check out. These books range anywhere from Expertise in personal fitness to growth in personal financial development, personal spirituality etc. There's a reason why the business is "Best Self" health & fitness - the resources are there to not only grow in fitness but in any facet of personal development you want - encouraging you to discover and grow into the best version of yourself. I've grown a lot the last few years in physical shape, as well as mentally, emotionally and professionally, and I believe meeting Jonathan and his staff -and consistently working on my physical health in this gym - is the root of that growth. If you're in any kind of a rut (physically, mentally etc) I suggest and recommend you give them a call - it will only lead to good things. -AG Less

Started working out here in February 2023. I really enjoy the other members as well as the trainers. It is a community. Workout sessions are limited to 4 people and are individually tailored for each person. I have seen a big change in my body and lifting ability.

I recently started working out at Best Self Health and Fitness and what a warm welcome I had. The entire staff are easy to work with and are very knowledgeable. I always look forward to my workouts. They are really dedicated to getting you to where you want to be and beyond.

Everyone at Best Self, health and fitness is friendly and supportive. I am grateful to be A member of this awesome establishment.

I have been training at Best Self with Jonathan and his team for a couple of years now and the experience has truly been a blessing. I have been a member of many different gyms over the years, and always struggled with many issues such as knowledge, consistency and the feeling of being intimidated by the surroundings. At Best self, it’s a completely different experience. Jonathan and his team are extremely knowledgeable and have helped set up a program specifically geared towards my needs and what I’m looking to accomplish. I’ve learned so much about proper technique, nutrition and reasoning behind each exercise and movement we perform. Going to the gym always felt like a chore to me, and now I genuinely look forward to my sessions and it’s become part of my daily routine. I would highly recommend anyone trying to make improvements to their health and overall wellbeing to check out Best self health and fitness. Less

Supportive, friendly environment

Hands down it’s the best gym with the best personal trainers in the East Bay Area I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing, highly recommend.

As I was going through the process of my own fitness journey my brother had a vision to build and create BSHF. At which during that time I had always admired his vision but was stuck in my ways to not join in. As some of my form mechanics started to worsen. I put my pride aside and seeked the assistance needed from him. I had come to learn quickly that the community and atmosphere he brought together filled with amazing clients and humans wanting to better themselves was the best I’d ever been apart as well as seen from a gym through my multi-year journey. It’s been well over a year now and the community has not only grown but so have our relationships and dedication to work harder. I’ve seen many amazing changes in the people who I’ve come to know and care for as well as myself having gone through the best physical and mental health process since being apart of Beat Self Health and Fitness.

I met Jonathan back in October. I can say without a doubt that he truly cares about his business, his staff and his clients. At the time I needed an outlet and a place where I could go to clear my head. Jonathan made that possible when he introduced me to Best Self: Health and Fitness in Barrington, RI. Him, his trainers and his other clients helped me feel welcome and safe. When I sat down with him for my consultation, he broke down my nutrition and my measurements to ensure the best plan for me to reach my goals. Since then, both my physical health and my mental health have improved tremendously. I have made great progress and I would recommend Best Self to anyone that is looking to help improve themselves.

I have been with this gym for the last two years and my experience has been amazing and the trainers are willing to work with you when needed and discuss healthy options. I have met new friends as a result as well. We laugh and enjoy each other's company while working out. I highly recommend this gym for many different services that are offered.

I met Jonathan a few months ago and recently started personal training at Best Self Health & Fitness back in October. Prior to starting Jonathan dedicates time to each potential new client and sits down to learn all about your health and fitness goals. From the moment you meet Jonathan you can feel just how passionate he is for this work and for helping others become the best version of themselves. Since I’ve started training my knowledge for fitness has grown drastically and I have seen improvement in my strength and body physique. If it wasn’t for Jonathan and the other personal trainers here at Best Self, I would still be going to a commercial gym and feeling lost with my workout regimen. I finally have the confidence to perform in the weight area. Every group training session is filled with a community of uplifting, encouraging and motivational individuals. We are always smiling, laughing and enjoying ourselves while always taking care of our bodies and minds. I highly recommend joining the community here at Best Self Health & Fitness. Less

The confidence and knowledge this place blessed me with changed how I workout, and how I think throughout the day. Youll get more than a workout. From coaching to nutrition, the man knows his stuff. Well worth a visit and a membership to say the least. you wont regret it. You vs You. Also worth a mention. Talk about a judgement free zone. What I probably love most about this place (besides it always being super clean!) is how Ive seen other guys/girls Ive went to school with there, and also, older men/woman. All at different points of a workout journey. All making themselves better. Its a vibe 💪🏼 Less

I began training with the owner Jonathan a few months ago and it has been the most rewarding decision I have made. He worked with me closing on developing a workout regimen where I could still move my body while recovering from a back injury. This regimen helped me to quickly start feeling stronger and building my confidence back up again in the weights area. Jonathan has such a passion for this work, for growing his community and for guiding others to becoming their visions of the best versions of themselves. Best Self Health & Fitness in Barrington is so much more than just a gym, the community here is like family. From the moment you walk into the gym the whole community will make you feel welcomed and motivate you to reach your goals no matter what level you are starting at. The other personal trainers here at best self are just as amazing as the owner. They are there for you throughout every training session to guide you, walk you through forms and push you to see just how much you are capable of. You will leave every workout feeling proud of yourself and wanting to go back for more. If you are someone looking for a warm, welcoming and empowering community I highly recommend doing a one-on-one session or small group training, with the personal trainers here at Best Self. Less

I have been working out with Jonathan for almost 5 years now and it is still one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself. I’ve been with Jonathan since before Best Self was called Best Self. I’ve seen him, and this community he is building, grow into something amazing over the years and I can’t wait to be onboard for everything it turns into. I used to be like many other people in this world and hated working out more than many things. I know its good for us and an important part in staying healthy but going to the gym was one of the last things you would catch me doing. Then I started working out with Jonathan and it’s funny how quickly that changed. It didn’t take me long to start seeing the results from what I was doing- getting stronger, not being out of breath so easily, my clothes fitting a bit looser. Not to mention, I was having FUN! Jonathan is dedicated to truly making a difference in people’s lives, and it shows. Not only does he help with the physical, but he has a huge focus on mental health as well. The people working out at Best Self truly embody the values of the gym as a whole- we are not just members going to get our workout in, we are all a community here for each other and growing into our Best Selves together.

Jonathan is a fantastic trainer! He has helped me in so many ways over the last several years to reach many different goals. He’s always encouraging and knows how to get the best out of me at each session!

I started going to Better Self in February I've only been going for 3 months now but let me just say my physical and mental health has changed DRAMATICALLY. I am in the best shape I have been in in a long time and I couldnt do it without Jon, he is the best fitness trainer in RI not only does he do physical health he also specializes in mental health as well and is currently in classes to become a life coach. Thanks to Jon guiding me I have been eating healthier, sleeping better and working out 3 times a week. If there was a way to give more than 5 stars I would give him 10 he's not like other trainers out there that just care about a paycheck he is dedicated to all his clients he has and wants everyone to be their best version of themselves hence the name Best Self. If anyone is looking to better themselves physically and mentally this is the spot for you I promise you this will be one of your best decisions regarding health you have ever made. Less
