I work at a place that recently contracted with GG to put down rubber matting in part of the weight room and turf in another part. The organization also ordered over $50,000 in weight equipment which included 5 power cages. GG did a 3D rendering of the space showing where all the equipment would be, saying it would fit nicely. The 3D image showed the 5 power cages lined up in a row, the way we wanted. However, when they installed the matting they only put down platforms for 4 cages. They said there was enough room for all 5 cages but not the 5 platforms (which are all rubber). So now the 5 cages will be offset from the 4 platforms. Additionally, they did not level the floor underneath where there is transition from concrete to wood before installing the rubber. So there is a ridge almost the length of the room. And the turf does not lay flat on the floor, there are humps in it where it doesnt appear to be glued down and the seams are easily visible. The turf was laid down 2 days ago, maybe it needs more time to settle, I dont know. Im just very unhappy in the installation so far. I can forgive them being a month late with it, seems everything is running late but the quality of the installation of the flooring is just so disappointing.
Ive been putting my home gym together and John has been great to work with. He hasnt price gouged me during pandemic. Hes very professional and really pays attention to details.
John Morris was amazingly helpful. The delivery crew was great (and safe) too! I will definitely return for future fitness needs.
Super friendly and helpful staff. Introduced me to some equipment that helped me decided on what I want to save up for.
I walked in off the street and met Adam and from there he provided me with a rewarding experience. He directed me to a machine that was not the most expensive but he was listening to my needs and it worked perfectly. He helped me through the purchase and he followed up after the installation to make sure everything was to my satisfaction. I received a fair price, accurate information, and follow up after the delivery and installation. I could not ask for more from Adam and/or G&G fitness.
I was very pleased with the service, delivery and the reference check mailed to my daughter. I would definitely recommend G & G to anyone looking for treadmills.Betsy Bobry
After researching many resources for home gym equipment, I was most impressed with G&G Fitness for their expertise and high quality product choices as well as their friendly, efficient, and careful installation. I am an extremely pleased customer and would highly recommend G&G Fitness for your home gym needs.
We had a great experience. Paul is someone you should ask for. He was excellent at explaining everything and providing good service.
During these uncertain times, having knowledgeable and friendly consultants is important. Although we had a few glitches, Adam Buckholtz went above and beyond to make certain we had the equipment we ordered. Thank you.
I just want to say Thank U Adam. I am so thrilled and happy for the purchase. It was quick and easy. No sales pressure. Extreme knowledge. I had gone to the 3 equipment stores and G&G was the best. Adam totally sold my deal. I almost bought online BUT I wanted to check it out. Thank god I did because even though the reviews were great.......when I tried the machine at the other store can u say CHEAP. G&G didn’t carry what I originally wanted thank god cause it was junk. I’m super happy to have bought from u guys and not made the mistake of buying online. Love love love it! Thank u Adam. Glad to know I can call for service too.
I have had outstanding customer service from Adam Buckholtz on two occasions when I purchased equipment. The equipment, installation, and quality have all been excellent. Adam always follows through after the purchase to insure everything went well.G&G is a great organization and a family owned business.Their quality, courtesy, and service are all exceptional.They are - and always will be - my go-to business for any fitness equipment. Their knowledge and experience is also exceptional.You can’t go wrong with G&G Fitness. I highly recommend them.
Excellent service and installation experience. Adam And Tim directed me to just the right equipment for my needs.
I just turned 50 and I’m in the best shape of my life and have Adam B. to thank for it. Was recommended to him specifically by a colleague. Not only did he help me but the right equipment for our home gym, I hired him as my personal trainer and for the past 2 1/2 years he has helped me be stronger physically and mentally for my family and myself. I can’t show my appreciation enough. Thanks brother!
As any early adopter of G&G Fitness Equipment in 1999, and in light of my fitness club closing, I recently revisited my Rochester, NY location to test out and purchase new equipment for home use. What I encountered there, even more impressive than their state of the art cardio and resistance products was Adam Buckholtz. After meeting and working with Adam over the course of three consultation sessions, I was so impressed with his limitless fitness expertise, extensive G&G product knowledge and customer focused perception, that I was more than confident in purchasing over $17,000 of equipment. If you are ever in Rochester, please do yourself a favor and go speak with Adam because he will provide you with a comfort level about health and fitness that you will wish that you had realized sooner. Always a loyal G&G Fitness client, John
Excellent customer service, go see Adam, hes the best. Love my new elliptical, I never have to go to the gym again.
I was pretty excited to find a business that would still do in home delivery and assembly of treadmills during the quarantine that I was more than willing to pay the ~$170 delivery charge and $200 more for the treadmill than I could have purchased it for directly from the manufacturer. The delivery went smoothly and everything was fine for the first 5 days, then the belt would not stay centered on the deck to save my life. After spending several hours each day, for 2 days, trying to adjust it myself I gave up and figured a professional will likely have better luck. After scheduling service with Dave, a rep in the service department who was pleasant, confirming the appointment with a female rep whose name I didn’t get, also very pleasant, Brian, a tech who was very personable, came and made some adjustments and seemed to rectify the situation. To be clear these 3 individuals are the only reason 1 star was not given, as they are exactly how a customer that spent over $2,000 on a purchase expects an issue with the purchase to be handled. The 3 of them were pleasant, professional and easy going.After the adjustments was made the belt began drifting again the next day, however, the issue was then compounded by the fact that right after the belt began to drift while I was in the middle of it’s Sprint 8 program, the electricity in half my home loudly popped and completely shutoff. Not a single circuit breaker was tripped so an electrician had to be called. The electrician had verified that the treadmill had fried the wiring in several rooms in my home since it required a dedicated circuit and was not on one. I specifically asked the sales representative at G&G and discussed electrical requirements of the treadmills he showed me and wether or not dedicated circuits were needed. The 2 models that I looked at purchasing and the 1 I eventually purchased were both presented as not needing dedicated circuits. So now when I called the service department, I unfortunately did not get any of the 3 individuals I previously mentioned but instead got a service rep that was extremely rude and condescending and would only respond with you should have read the owners manual before purchasing a treadmill requiring a dedicated circuit. Perhaps I am the ignorant one for making a $2,000+ purchase, based on the answers to a very specific set of questions you are asking a sales representative. I can really only laugh at this point, as I get to pay an electrician to retire a couple rooms of my house and I’m now the proud owner of a treadmill that has a belt that won’t stay straight and is likely only good for hanging clothes on to dry. I knew I should have just bought a Peleton at half the price.
When I found myself trapped in a world where all the gyms are shutdown, I contacted G&G Rochester via E-mail and was quickly advised by John Morris and completed the new purchase over E-mail. Delivery/assembly was quick, tidy, and safe. Now I careless when the gyms will reopen. Thanks!
Have been shopping and looking at equipment at G&G Fitness in Henrietta for many years. I have had great service from the staff and one person who seems to help me more than anyone else is Adam. His knowledge and help have left me wanting to write this review. He goes above and beyond even when I tell him I am not ready to purchase but just want to see whats new. Whether I am there to purchase or just browse I am treated just the same. He seems to have a passion for fitness and it shows in his work. I highly reccomend G&G fitness and Adam!
Solid guys with a wide variety of quality Fitness equipment with expert knowledge of the exercise business.
There is a reason this is the only place I go for my fitness equipment needs. Adam and John are fantastic! They always provide stellar customer service. The equipment itself is of very high quality at reasonable pricing. You always know youre getting the best when you go to G&G
We loved our experience at G and G Fitness. The staff isnt just excellent with their customer service, but also they are professionals in the fitness area and were able to answer all of our questions. Id like to thank Bill for helping us pick the correct equipment to serve our needs! He was awesome!!! I would recommend it to everyone we know!!
My purchasing experience at G&G far exceeded anything I could have imagined! My browsing experience with Bill was so informative and humorous at the same time! I did not feel intimidated at all as was the case with other fitness equipment centers Ive visited in the past. I left the store feeling fully informed, after Bill thoroughly helped me in solving my present fitness needs! I highly recommend G&G Fitness
We are loving our new Life Fitness recumbent bike. John did an excellent job walking us through the different machines and helping us to decide on the one we purchased. We have had it for just over 2 weeks and have put it to good use. Thank you.
Tim G was very great, had a lot of information and knew what he was talking about. I knew what I wanted and he respected that. Did not try to sell me on anything else just not like your average sales associate. I would definitely recommend going here to buy all of your physical fitness needs to challenge your daily fitness goals.
I was told they were overpriced but as my gym is closed, I needed an adjustable weight bench. Went to the on sale section and when I saw a bench for over $400.00 bucks marked down from over $500.00 bucks, I was shocked! They are outrageously expensive! Don’t waste your time here.
I wouldnt of gave them that even but i was there today and besides rude they are taking advantage of what is going on with this virus. I tried to bye a bench and he admitted the price he was asking was double the price and with all no hesitating didnt care he was rude arrigant and a pearson who when in a crises will do all they can to capitalize on misfortune. I will never forget the experience and would and will never say one good thing for how we were treated and how someone could be so ruthless on all of our misfortunes .
Picked up some great equipment at what I think was a very reasonable price. Received some great service from Adam, who was very helpful; made good recommendations for me, without pushing, that I felt were customized for what I am trying to accomplish. Ill definitely go back there for the next piece of equipment I buy.
Great shopping experience. Staff is super friendly and honest. They delivered on everything promised and went above and beyond to ensure my happiness. Cant go wrong with these guys!!!
We had first class service during our two visits to G&G Fitness last night. On my first visit I was met by Bill Hawken, who spent a good five minutes discussing my fitness needs, goals and history before even considering showing me any sort of machine.He took me to see one of the new Zero Runners which are literally brand new in store and I suspect are amongst the more expensive possible purchases. I want to make it absolutely clear right now that from my perspective, his decision to do this was absolutely in line with the answers I had given for my fitness needs. When I walked in the store I had just left another store where I could have paid $400 for a reconditioned treadmill. By the time I left G&G Fitness with my wife, some 20 to 30 minutes later, we were seriously considering spending 10 times that amount on a brand new piece of equipment.On our return a couple of hours later Bill was very gentle and helpful, without trying to pressure us in any way to consider a purchase. He continued to be incredibly helpful and knowledgeable with his product reviews and discussion.We felt very looked after and genuinely guided by someone who seemed more interested in our fitness goals than in whether or not a sale took place. Thank you!
Great knowledge and help. Tim helped me find a great treadmill that fit my needs. Training for 10 half marathons this year. They took their time and let me try out everything. Helped answer lots of questions too.
Great store
I loved the energy in the store! Tim really knows his stuff and was a tremendous help! I cant thank you enough and absolutely love my Life Fitness equipment. A+!
My husband and I just came from G & G Fitness. Our sales associate, Adam, was amazing! He answered all our questions and then some. He was VERY knowledgeable and made us extremely comfortable in making our purchase. We are stoked to pick up our equipment next week and we cant wait to test it out!Thanks G & G Fitness!-Shevaun
We just bought a zero runner and rowing machine. Bill was very helpful and informative. He made sure that we knew how to use them correctly and answered our questions in a thoughtful and honest manner. He made shopping for our fitness equipment a very pleasant process.
Tim was very helpful at the Home Show taking the time to ask questions so that his recommendation was best for me. Adam followed up the next day when I went into the store and again took time to make sure my purchase was the right one for my needs. I am excited and looking forward to using my treadmill.
We have two pieces of equipment from G&G- an elliptical and a home gym. Tim calls and checks in on us to make sure were working hard towards our goals! On our last purchase, I left my credit card on the counter and had a voicemail waiting for me when I got home saying it was safely under the desk. Tim said hed drive it out to me if I wanted! These are the small things that only tremendous businesses do. Many thanks to Team G&G!
Adam was SUPER helpful with not only finding what I was looking for, knee sleeves, but also informing me about other equipment that would complement the Crossfit regime I am currently following. The equipment selection, the prices, and most importantly the people at G&G are amazing. Will definitely be back to flesh out my garage gym and to get more insight in my preparation for Highland games in the 2015 year.Thanks again for the help.
If you want high quality fitness equipment go here
Great experience. Great equipment. Friendly staff (Adam was very knowledgeable). If you’re looking for fitness equipment definitely go in and check them out.
My girlfriend and I went in to look at the equipment because we wanted to start acquiring equipment for our home gym. We met with Adam Buckholtz to talk about our options. He is an extremely knowledgeable and friendly consultant. He helped us by figuring out what we should be getting for what we want to do and fully explained the difference in quality for the equipment. We will be doing all our business at this location and HIGHLY RECOMMEND everyone else to go there as well.
John and Adam are amazing, friendly and has the best customer service I would recommend to anyone !!
I was pleasantly surprised by how relaxing and informative my experience was. I was attended to by Bill - he was gracious, helpful, never pushy. I ended up walking out of there with more than I anticipated...very excited about my stuff equipment!!
I went to G&G just to look and check out rowers, not wanting to make a purchase without first checking it out. Adam greeted me at the door and was immediately trustworthy. I ended up with the most wonderful rower, much more than I expected to pay but I LOVE IT! Thank you G&G, I will buy from you again.
Adam was great to work with. Evaluated our needs and helped us chose two excellent workout units.
We went to G&G when we decided to start buying what we need for a home gym. We were lucky enough to have Bill at the desk when we walked in. He was friendly and accessible but did not follow us around the store as we shopped. We were able to look around at our own pace without someone breathing over our shoulders, what a great thing! When we were ready to finalize our order, Bill was all business. He took us step by step through the quote process and payment options, sent us home with just about everything we ordered and took the steps to get us our last piece of equipment from a different store. The whole experience was very relaxed; Bills sense of humor and personable demeanor were refreshing. G&G will be our go to place as we work on our gym.
A++ experience every time I go to G&G Fitness. Tim makes it easy to pick out the gear to get me in shape. I most recently purchased Powerblocks and Tim made me my own customized routine. Thanks for everything!
After relocating from NYC, I was looking for a place to buy some great equipment. That is when I found G&G Fitness. I met Adam at the Rochester location where he suggested a place to continue training and gave me additional knowledge!
Great place and very nice people. I dealt with Adam Buckholtz and we ended up knowing a lot of the same people growing up. He was very helpful giving me many options to fit my budget. Thanks.
Staff was both knowledgable and courteous. Store was clean and efficient. We love our Life Fitness machine mostly because Tim helped us to find the right piece of equipment for our needs.
Tim Garbach and Adam Buckholtz are both passionate individuals about the fitness business and helping others achieve their life goals. I have found them to be dedicated to helping people enjoy a higher quality of life by assisting them with finding the right equipment for their fitness goals. Their knowledge and desire to assist the customer adds value to the equipment they offer. I would trust them completely in the advice they offer as they believe that the customers needs always come first. Their service philosophy of always being there for their customers makes them a partner in your fitness programs. I would recommend you consider G&G Fitness as a partner in your athletic and fitness planning.
Everyone at G&G is fantastic! Super friendly and very knowledgable. Bill made shopping for an elliptical easy. He took the time to explain everything and went the extra mile. I wouldnt go anywhere else. Thanks to everyone at G&G!!Wendy Caceci
Customer service was a great experience. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Helped direct us to exactly what we needed.
All your fitness needs under one roof! These guys are awesome and really know their stuff.
Tim was a wonderful salesmen and provided great knowledge. We love our new life fitness bike! Thank you!
Excellent customer service! Thanks.
After a very long day looking for a treadmill and dealing with rude and unknowledgeable sales people (at other places, not G&G), Adam was there to save the day. He helped me pick out a treadmill that was right for me and answered all my questions. We will be back soon for more equipment and a pool table soon!
Bill was exceptionally knowledgeable and got me a great deal on my rower! Will definitely be back.
Excellent, i have purchased a rower and barbells from them and i am very satisfied, but i recently went there i found competition kettle bells, no one sells them retail, i really have stuck gold.thank you
We bought a Precor treadmill from Tim in the Rochester office. Tim was friendly and courteous. Hands down, best customer service in town!
Weve had our treadmill service by G&G for the last three years. On time, and very poffesional!
My experience with Bill Hawken was great. I came in looking for what I could do to improve my health by doing normal things differently. He showed me a walking desk (because I sit a lot in my job. He also suggested using an exercise ball instead of a chair, and sold me one for home. And he also showed me how to better use a Bosu ball that I already had to move toward my goal of regaining fitness. As I was checking out, he talked to me about nutrition. All around, he was very knowledgable, and was very customer focused. I am a very satisfied customer.
Having been in sports my whole life and training elite level athletes for the past 11 years, I will whole heartedly endorse G&G Fitness and Tim Garbach at any chance I get. They know fitness and they take the time to help me and our business. Thanks for everything!
Tim was extremely helpful, professional and courteous. I would Highly recommend G&G to a friend.Fran Ginter
My salesman Tim Garbach was absolutely wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and definitely helped us in making an informed decision on our purchase!!!!
Update almost a year later: Multiple small and one large purchase later, I am still extremely pleased with my decision to buy from G&G. If you are in the market for anything fitness related, make this your first and only stop. From sales and selection to service, they cannot be beat.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------G & G was the first stop on my quest to find some fitness equipment for my home. I knew I wanted a treadmill, but I also wanted to get a second piece - originally I thought it might be a stationary bike. The hunt began.I wandered in about a week ago and received an animated, warm and friendly greeting immediately from Bill Hawken. I told him what I was looking for and that G&G was my first stop in the process. He then told me that he hoped it would also be my only stop. Oh sure, I thought to myself, but I was willing to play along.He asked me some great questions so he could help guide this stranger to the right tools for her needs. He listened carefully to all the answers. The treadmill he suggested initially was the one that I eventually purchased and had delivered yesterday. I did try some others there, but the one he zeroed in on initially was the one. He listened well. (And kept me below budget!)I told him I wouldnt be buying that day, but I also wanted to talk stationary bikes. Knowing my fitness needs, he asked Just curious. Why a bike and not a rower? Having always been curious about them, I gave two of them a try and absolutely loved the second one! But Im not buying today, I insisted.Home I went with Bills card/model numbers and prices in hand. But geeeeez, I couldnt get that rower off my mind. Within 2 hours I was back. I saw absolutely nothing to be gained by shopping around or waiting. I bought both the treadmill and the rower. By this time Bill felt like an old friend. His knowledge about what he sells, his ability to read a customer, his sense of humor, and his excellent listening skills make Bill a pleasure to deal with.He spent extra time to show me some other items I inquired about and I went back, with my husband, to purchase those a few days later. All of my equipment has either been picked up or delivered and Bill promptly followed up with me last night to make sure that things went smoothly with the delivery. Again, he listened carefully to what I had to say. Service after the sale is always a huge thumbs up in my book.The large store is bright, clean and well stocked. I always felt welcome and appreciated as a customer. The two other salesmen (John and Adam) I interacted with on my 3 visits were polite and professional. I was impressed that although I wasnt his customer, Adam remembered my name some 4 days later when I returned. Alas. I have nothing bad to say at all. G&G Fitness gets a hearty 5 stars from this middle aged lady!The entire process went so smoothly and I was so pleased, that I wanted to hug Bill. So I did. ;o)(Is there a prize for the longest review?)
Great customer service, Great personalities, Very friendly that what I want when doing business.
Hi, I went to GG Fitness in the Rochester, NY location. I am a unique person physically, to find equipment that I can use. I have had multiple knee surgeries and am waiting on a total knee replacement. I met Bill Hawken there and was explaining my situation and limitations/barriers. This is when I met my dream machine. It is a Concept 2 rowing machine. I fell in love with this piece of equipment. I also have time barriers being a single Mom being able to go to a gym with a tween daughter has not been easy. So after laboring over the purchase and visiting the store multiple times, and Bill spending time with myself and daughter, her and I both decided this would be a perfect family Christmas present. So not only did Bill make the purchase hassle free for me, he also went above the call of duty and while my daughter and I were at Christmas eve service, came to my house set up the rowing machine for me and wrapped it...So when we got home from Christmas eve service, my daughter was squealing with delight that their was a huge present next to our Christmas tree!!!! That was priceless for me. So if you ask the Cosmos Chics if there is a Santa Claus, our answer will be gleefully be yes there is! Bill went above and beyond to help us have a surprising, healthier and happier New year. I would recommend this G&G Fitness site and their experience and expertise to all that are looking for better health and home equipment ideas that work best for your own personal needs. And Bills personal attention was very appreciated and will never be forgotten.Trish Davlin
I have been a customer at G and G for many years. They are the best resource in Rochester for a guy like me that was a serious athlete since 1982 and transitioned into a 64 year old 8 weeks post surg total knee replacement and a L2345 back surgery last year same time.First rate quality equipment here. A few weeks ago bought a Life Fitness upright bicycle from G and G. Adam Buckholtz, my salesman is also a personal trainer and he advised me per my physical therapy. My wife and I love this Life Fitness bike btw. Smooth as silk. Well worth the money spent. And they delivered and set up for a reasonable fee.Adam knows his equipment and will work with you and freely share proper body mechanics, recent technology, and offer good pricing. I am buying a 15# slam ball (Adam suggested for rebuilding my lost core strength) and a rubber coated dumbbell set and a rack. I price shopped on line and G and G is right there, only I can stop in today and pick it all up.I have no interest in G and G at all. I just appreciate Adam and the huge inventory of contemporary, state of the art gym equipment.Thanks Adam!Bill and Kathy DeNottiaSpencerport NY
My wife and I were very pleased with our experience in buying a WaterRower at G&G Fitness. Bill Hawken and Adam Buckholtz were responsive, knowledgeable, and very helpful. We will surely return should we need any more equipment.
Nice selection, helpful staff.
Extremely helpful staff and great product selection. Will be buying from them in the future.
Tim at G&G was awesome- such a big help!
What a great experience! Very informative!
Matt Good is a bit rude.
