My work keeps me stressed out with limited time to myself. Also, I tend to be a very private person. Would Lift for Life work for me?

So how do I schedule my evaluation?
How do I get started?
Call us at 215-245-0802 to set up an appointment for a free evaluation. At the evaluation we will set up your workout schedule.
How long is the evaluation?
An evaluation takes approximately one hour.
Can I just drop in to ask some questions and see the gym?
You must first make an appointment. When you come in you will be speaking directly to Pondeli and Marian and we want to be able to give you our full attention. We would not be able to do that if we were with a client when you dropped by. That would not be fair to them, or to you.
How long is each workout?
Each session is one hour.
Do you have changing rooms and showers?
Yes. We have a women’s and a men’s changing room, each with a shower.
How many times a week should I work out?
On average our clients work out 3 times a week, but we will work with you to develop the workout program that meets your individual needs and best fits your personal schedule.
How long will it take for me to see results?
You will feel better about yourself and your body after just the first session. As to seeing physical results, each person’s body responds to working out differently but if – in addition to your regular workouts – you eat properly and sleep well, you should see results in 2 to 3 months.
I’m a golfer hoping to improve my game. My wife wants to look better in a bathing suit. Do you have any special programs that can help us?
Yes, every client’s program is designed specifically for him or her. During your evaluation the particular results that you want to achieve are discussed and your workout is then designed to meet your individual needs.
Can my wife and I work out together?
Yes. At Pondeli's Lift for Life, we have a strict “one trainer to one client” ratio. As such, each of you will work with your own trainer. Since both Pondeli and Marian are available for trainings, we are able to schedule your workouts at the same time in order to accommodate this.
At other gyms that I have been to, sometimes two or three people work with a trainer at the same time. Why don’t you do that at Pondeli's Lift for Life?
Since each client’s needs are different, we believe that to get the maximum workout in the hour’s session the trainer needs to devote their full attention to the client – without any distractions. By keeping to our “one trainer to one client” ratio, we are able to achieve this.
So, I get the whole gym to myself?
The most people you will ever see on the gym floor is yourself and your trainer plus one other client and their trainer.
There are only two trainers at the gym?
Yes. Pondeli has been training people for over twenty-three years. Marian has 16 years experience as a trainer and is the winner of the 1999 Ms. Philippines IFBB. Staying small -- with excellent, experienced trainers is basic to our concept and the reason that it works.
My work keeps me stressed out with limited time to myself. Also, I tend to be a very private person. Would Lift for Life work for me?
Our mission is to help you focus on yourself in order to achieve your personal workout goals. We strive to make all of our clients comfortable and to feel at home. We are purposely located below street level and have no windows, which keeps outside distractions to a minimum. Once you come into the gym, we want you leave your worries outside.
On the web site it says that you work with athletes, models and actors. Are there really celebrities who work out at Lift for Life? Who are they?
In our eyes everyone who works out with us is a celebrity. Our clients do indeed include athletes, models, and actors, as well as several high-profile business people, however – as we respect the privacy of all of our clients – it is our policy to not divulge individual names without the client’s expressed approval. We have worked with models from Ford and I.D. agencies, golfers, skiers, football players, basketball players, and soccer players. Please check out our client referrals on our web site.
Can Pondeli come to my house and help me workout?
Yes, he already provides that service for many of his current clients.
What if I do not have gym equipment at my house? Can Pondeli help me setup a personal gym at my house or at my workplace?
Yes, Pondeli has helped many of his clients setup their own gym at home or at work.
What are your fees?
The cost for a single personal training session after the free evaluation is $65 an hour. We also offer discounts for 12, 24, and 36 session packages.
Is that the only fee? At my previous gym I had to pay an initiation fee to join, a monthly membership fee, and an additional fee for my trainer.
We have a one time initiation fee to start up. The hourly training fee is the only other fee you will have. We have no monthly fees and no additional premium to choose your trainer.
Am I required to sign a contract?
No. We have no contracts or hidden agreements. You simply sign up for as many sessions as fit your individual needs.
