I started at Pledge 6 years ago. I came in because I heard the owner also practiced jiujitsu, which I had just begun. So I figured he’d incorporate exercises that would improve my grappling. My expectations were exceeded. Not only did we click right away, but I got hooked to the classes and the members. I’ve made lasting friendships and we’ve all grown in our fitness journeys thanks to the program the gym offers. I highly encourage anybody that is wanting to begin, or improve their fitness journey to give Pledge a visit. Tell them Favela sent you 8)

I started at Pledge during the peak of the pandemic. I felt I had lost myself and needed a place where I could regain my confidence and strength. Coach Ray let me try his gym for a week and I immediately was hooked with his programming and his willingness to modify workouts if I felt any type of pain. I appreciated the care and attention he gave his members. Pledge has by far exceeded my expectations as a gym ; from the coaching staff to the members, pledge is my happy place. I can say this is my community. My Pledge Familia.

I want to start off saying how thankful I am that my friend Yvette referred me to this gym! This past month has been a game changer for myself.
The insecurities of not knowing what I was doing went out the window with all the help from the coaches!
Never once did I feel like I was a burden being a new comer. The camaraderie was literally the cherry on top. You get the complete essence of family here which makes the experience that much better.
All the coaches are literally amazing. I am thankful for Coach Ana who is a mom like me, yet makes you feel like you can capable of reaching your fitness goals.
Being a mom is a hard job and being able to take time to make sure you are good for your family is a must and something I myself am learning to do. So the fact that there are so many time options for classes is THE best.
Pledge fitness has given me back my motivation to continue pushing for a healthy me.
If you have ever felt hesitant, or scared, or unsure of the fitness journey you want to take but know you want to do better for yourself and/or your family ( like me) this is your place!!
Don’t sleep on them they push and give you the motivation to strive and want it.
Pledge makes those 5 am classes an easy wake up to get your morning going.
THANK YOU to Coach Ana, and Coach Mel and Coach Ray, you all have definitely made the experience easy. but also everyone who attends class thank you for being welcoming and helpful and making each class experience amazing.
I’m excited to continue this amazing fitness journey with the Pledge family. 🫶🏽

I have been coming to Pledge for almost 5 years. I have loved it since day one, and I can't see my self ever looking back. From the friendly members, to the best coaches, & Coach Ray constantly reminding us how strong we can be. Pledge has become my second home. Pledge is extremally welcoming to all.

I've gain so much confidence in my self. The coaches push me to do more then I ever though I could do. It's a great place to get out of your comfort zone! Get out of yours!

Coach Ray, Ana, Mel, and Eddie keep up the awesome work! I have yet to meet coaches that do what you guys do on a daily <3

Amazing!

100% Recommend!
My best friend had been telling me about Pledge and how amazing it was for a really long time. I was a bit skeptical, but I decided to join during the November 2023 special; because why not.
Verdict: I am impressed! Coach Ray is very knowledgeable and professional, and takes on the mentor approach. Coaches Anna and Mel are also very knowledgeable, professional, approachable. All coaches understand everyone's different fitness level and provide modifications while still challenging you.
I went in with a bit of apprehension because I was concerned about getting injured since I had not worked out for a while, but the coaches are always present and engaged during the classes so they are there if you have any concerns. I was impressed at how they were very aware of everyone's specific injuries, needs, and level.
The members are also very kind and motivating. I HIGHLY recommend this gym!

This is a great place of all sorts of levels of experience. If you’re just starting, a seasoned vet, or even have a few lingering injuries. The coaches here at pledge work great with every single individual and are very attentive to your fitness needs. Pledge just recently added a kickboxing class and they’re doing kids classes as well. Highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a fun but challenging fitness journey.

Pledge Fitness is a dynamic gym where you will be provided with the knowledge, support and guidance to reach your fitness goals, whatever they are. I recommend this gym whole heartedly, without reservations for anyone who is ready to accelerate their fitness journey and is ready to challenge themselves. The sense of community and positive vibes at Pledge is an added bonus. The various options available provides the flexibility to create a plan that works for you.

In 2014, when I was 20 years old while getting ready to leave to Marine Corps bootcamp, I found Pledge Fitness and trained there all summer before leaving. Coach Ray, a retired Marine Corps Combat Veteran, was not just a coach; he was a pivotal figure who prepared me mentally and physically for the challenges of military life. His training mirrored the discipline and strength required in the Marines, laying a solid foundation for my service. Now, a decade later, after fulfilling my duties as a Marine and returning to civilian life, it's been a full-circle moment coming back to Pledge Fitness.

What makes Pledge Fitness unique isn't just the quality training program but Coach Ray's remarkable mentorship. His approach goes beyond fitness; it’s about fostering personal growth and resilience. Returning to the gym, I was reminded of how his guidance not only prepared me for bootcamp but also shaped a significant part of my life.

Coach Ray’s influence extends outside the gym walls. His lessons are life lessons, helping you grow in every aspect. The gym maintains a welcoming and supportive atmosphere, making every session about more than just exercise.

For anyone looking to not only improve physically but also grow personally, I wholeheartedly recommend Pledge Fitness. Coach Ray and his team offer an environment where commitment to self-improvement is paramount. Here, you don’t just work out; you evolve.
