I started with the Philadelphia Private Gym on February 1, 2013, and two months later, I'm down 20 lbs. and multiple inches. By combining the nutritional advice and awesome workouts provided by my trainer, Marion Hajioannou, I am now well on my way to a healthier mind and body.

Pondeli and his wife are professionals. With years of working with many high profile athletes and entertainers, he knows his stuff. With the only private gym in Pennsylvania, you will get the attention you need with no distractions.

Thanks to my fantastic trainer, Marian, I am now down 25 lbs. since February. When I first started coming to the Philadelphia Private Gym, I had a weight problem due to debilitating arthritis issues in my knees, ankles and feet. I could hardly walk. I was embarrassed to even attempt to work out at a conventional gym with so many people around and my limited knowledge of the machines. The Philadelphia Private Gym is a Godsend in that it provides that private sanctuary and one-on-one training that I personally need... this gym and its concept helped me take my first step towards fitness and better health. A trainer will even come to you if you can't make it to the facility! Believe me, I've tried everything out there in my 50+ years, and this place will truly help you achieve your goals and dreams. My mind, body and spirit have never felt more connected.
