Testimonials

KATHERINE SEARS

Joining this gym has truly changed my life. I have never felt more comfortable in a fitness space—something I honestly didn’t think was possible. It has become my “third place,” a home away from home where I feel supported, encouraged, and completely myself.

At 58, I am physically stronger than I have ever been, particularly when it comes to functional fitness. Every workout feels purposeful, and I can feel the difference in my daily life—from how I move to how I carry myself. But just as important as the physical transformation has been the emotional one. This gym has become a key part of my overall well‑being, offering community, connection, and a sense of belonging that I cherish deeply.

Thank you, Britt, Tiff, and the entire staff for creating such a beautiful, welcoming community. Your positivity, expertise, and intentionality have made all the difference. I am so grateful for this space and the people in it.

So lucky I found this place when I was visiting Amherst, Mass! I went to a few classes and they were all fabulous, I left feeling stretched out, stronger and grateful. I have always hated gyms and this place is the antidote. I wish they would open a branch in NYC or franchise it!!! I hired Tiff for some personal training sessions over Zoom once I got home and I still do those workouts; she customized them for me and for what I needed at the time, as I was getting over frozen shoulder. This business is a supportive loving haven, go if you can!! You'll move, laugh and connect with so many great people and your whole concept of fitness and gyms will completely change. Your relationship with movement and with your body will change. News flash, exercise can be so much fun if you go to MHM!!

Working with Britt has transformed my relationship with strength and movement. While I have worked with many personal trainers in the past, none have been as intuitive and skilled as Britt. As someone who has had a very toxic relationship with body image and movement, finding a "safe" trainer that would not recommend or support weight loss was imperative. Britt is fully a weight-neutral and fat-positive trainer, rooted in Health at Every Size and social justice. There is NO talk of weight loss and our work together has greatly contributed to increased body acceptance and a better relationship to movement. I recommend Britt to everyone I know- she is one of a kind and life changing!

I was lucky enough to be a recipient of Alyssa’s assisted stretching at a time when my knee was in pain and my hips were intensely tight. Talk about a gift to my body! It was obvious that Alyssa knew her stuff and I was able to deeply relax into the process while she did 99% of the work! She checked in with me throughout around my comfort and what was coming next. I felt so good and loose after we were finished. Highly recommend both Alyssa and this amazing service.

One thing I’ve come to appreciate about MHM is the way trainers (particularly Tiff) see and support the whole person in front of them. It’s not just about the workout, or meeting goals, but connecting with the human being that walked into the studio that day.
Working out here for the past 18 months has taught me that growth isn't linear, and that it's okay to meet my body where it is today. This acceptance was made possible by working with folks who practice what they preach. MHM staff provide encouragement, make it easy to ask questions, share fears, and celebrate good news. They make it easy to show up as I am. Life is messy, and our relationships to our bodies, food, work, hobbies, friends and families are complicated, but I’ve never felt like I needed to hide any of that at MHM. I truly feel seen in this fitness space and encouraged to show up.

I began working with Brittany after I had a rather bad skiing accident in my early 50s that put me in a wheelchair for several months. As I recovered and shifted away from physical therapy, I really wanted to get back to hiking and cycling (skiing, not so much!). She expertly created a program that helped me regain my range of motion, balance, and strength. I am now able to hike up Skinner Mountain and cycle in Hilltowns of Western Massachusetts. I especially appreciate her attention to form and ability to set goals that are obtainable without a lot of pressure. She has my best interests at heart and our work together has become a central part of my ability to manage the live stresses that come my way, especially in these unsettled times.

My Health Matters is a very special and unique fitness studio. I should know because I have been a member since the beginning. Britt has created a space that is diverse and completely committed to body acceptance and working with people of all ages, sizes and shapes. The general “feel” of the studio is warm, friendly, supportive, accepting, and downright silly, at times. You’ll most likely be greeted with a personal “hello” when you arrive and a personal, “have a good day/night", when you leave.

So, come check out the place and see how it feels to you. You'll TRULY be welcomed exactly where you are in your fitness and/or body journey.

I have been meeting on Zoom with Mary from My Health Matters for just over a year now, and it has been an incredible experience! Mary did a great job meeting me where I'm at (honestly, a little traumatized from gym classes and generally not a fan of fitness), and I have gotten so much stronger! After a couple of months, I realized that not only was I doing okay with our sessions-- I was even LOOKING FORWARD to them! I recommend MHM all the time.

ANGEL M

This studio is the most friendly and welcoming experience I’ve ever had at a “gym”. What Britt has going here is truly a special, safe, inclusive space for everyone. All of the instructors are so kind, patient and helpful. The classes are challenging but tailored to each individual in the class (harder or easier as needed). Everyone is truly supportive of everyone else and encouraging each other to do what their individual self needs at the moment. So thankful to have found this wonderful community that Britt has built.

MHM is an incredible place. I can genuinely say it has changed my life. I feel so much stronger, more confident, and get to be part of a community of genuinely kind and loving people.

As a person in a plus size body, regular gyms have felt unwelcoming and uninspiring, with a general understanding whether spoken or unspoken that weight loss is the goal. At MHM, movement isn’t about changing the way your body looks, it’s about moving your body in a way that feels good to you, whatever that means to each individual. You’ll never feel pressured to do any movement that doesn’t feel safe to you—only gently reminded that you are strong and can do hard things.

I go to group personal training, some large group classes, and recently started one-on-one PT, and have loved every class/session. I truly can’t recommend it enough!

MHM is one of the best "gyms" I have belonged to. The interior has been decorated so that it does not feel like a gym! Britt has done an amazing job creating a warm, inviting space. The classes are fabulous, the instructors are great, and it is a place to meet new (and old) friends. I am so thankful for it, I am proud and grateful to be a founding member.

There are many classes to choose from: some, like Spin, emphasize cardio, others, strength or flexibility, and still others, balance and stretching. There are Barre classes that focus on small muscle groups, Yoga, Core-focused classes, Boxing, TRX, along with Small Group or 1:1 Training sessions. Something for every body.

It's not easy to trust others with the care of my postpartum body. As many of us live our lives being told that others know best about our health, only to find out that bodies like mine are pathologized based on unquestioned biases about "obesity" and a general disinterest in bodies with uteruses, I'm always nervous that I'm going to be hurt or disappointed by practitioners that usually have the best intentions. I have deeply appreciated Britt's approach to supporting my postpartum health journey. She supports me to listen to my body, to appreciate my body, to move my body in ways that feel generative and life-affirming. She knows the tape playing in my head that wants to punish me for "never doing enough" and she is skilled at offering counter-narratives... "you're doing it" and "you're on the right track" and "I'm so proud of you". I'm so grateful to get to work with her on getting my body to a place where I can play with my toddler and delight in this one precious life with less pain and more conscious embodiment.

MHM is the real deal 💜 They actively practice what they preach — they are inclusive in every way, affirming and encouraging, and have created a space that really feels different. No mirrors on the wall to pick yourself apart, just supportive trainers you can trust to keep it real AND celebrate your wins! Every poster on the wall affirms the space you’re in - you are safe in this space, exactly as you are. Every human I’ve met there is welcoming. They keep it real! You can show up having a tough day and be treated with compassion. They also have all the tools to make your good day even better. Working with Tiff has been one of the very best things I’ve ever done for myself - she is so knowledgeable, encouraging, and supportive. If you’re a former or current dancer, she is your girl! Britt and Tiff never miss an opportunity for a hello - you will immediate feel at ease with them. If you’re looking for a safe, inclusive place for movement.. you’ve got your place. Highly, highly recommend.

I had such a unique and wonderful experience at MHM. The vibe is super welcoming and the boxing class with Mary was unlike anything I'd experienced before. I can tell that the group classes are well led with the individual in mind, and I got more of a workout than I ever thought I would, plus learned some cool new boxing moves! As a massage therapist, I'd highly recommend MHM to any of my clients who want a great fitness experience.
