What People Say About Motive

Motive Training is a place where you wanna get results and improve yourself last week was my first official day working out at the new gym and absolutely love the new place to workout at. If you are in the downtown area of Grand Rapids area I definitely highly recommend you check it out if you’re looking for trainers it’s a fun and great place to workout especially if you like to have great supports from your trainers. Brian is a great friend of my who I workout throughout the week with, every week and can honestly say he’s definitely helped me out with working out especially on my form in each of the workout session we do together. He’s my personal trainer and he’s always watching to make sure my form is correct. If you’re looking for a trainer then check out this gym

I started working with Brian Murray at Motive Training a little over a year ago after I moved to West Michigan from the East Coast. I was insecure in my body, had terrible self-esteem, and needed more than anything for someone to understand my struggles and work with me to drop weight, build muscle and not only feel and look better physically, but also lift my spirits and show me that positive change was possible. When I leave a session with Brian, I feel good, I feel stronger, I feel accomplished and leaner, that feeling carries over into the rest of my day and week. After suffering a traumatic injury, Brian was patient, kind, and stepped up to the plate by working with my physical therapists and doctors to get me back on track and back to the gym as quickly as possible. Brian’s method of training is as good, if not better than any of the gyms I have trained at in NYC, DC and Baltimore and his unique style and approach will certainly elevate him in the fitness industry and bill him as one of West Michigan’s most talented and successful trainers. We are fortunate to have his services in Grand Rapids and even if you’re not in Grand Rapids, he or any of his team members are definitely worth the drive.

I have been working out at Motive training consistently since May 2019. Immediately motive felt like home. Brian is professional, knowledgeable, motivating, and an all around fabulous trainer. I love how proper form and injury prevention are at the forefront of my workouts. The workout are fun, fast paced, and every day is different, which is perfect for my exercise add! Brian has also helped clean up my nutrition and I love the accountability aspect of working with him. I have seen a few other trainers at Motive too and across the board this is an AMAZING place to be a part of!
