Services
Here at Excel we train your body to become strong, healthy, lean, and flexible. Our personal training, classes, physical therapy, massage and acupuncture services all work together to teach your body to be able to adapt correctly to the bombardment of stresses that it encounters on a daily basis.

The concept of fitness adaptability means consistently introducing and challenging your body to engage with new exercises and activities, or loading your body in a different way.Your body then reacts by increasing its' ability to cope with that new load. This enables us to give you a strong core and foundation, which sets you up for success in everyday life, sports, and hobbies.
Busy people need fitness training that is tailored to fit their individual needs. Whether you come to Excel Fitness Center for weight loss, toning, sports conditioning, injury prevention, or post-rehabilitation service, we can design a program for you. Excel Fitness Center's personal training program focuses on functional training, a type of training that moves the body in all planes of motion and replicates real life movement.
Benefits from massage therapy include increased circulation, stimulated lymph flow, relaxation to injured muscles, reduced recovery time from injury, and increased range of motion. Swedish Massage is a relaxing massage utilizing a series of long, gliding strokes and gentle kneading techniques on the muscles, combined with active and passive movements on the joints.
Excel's Fit Class combines our unique personal training style and the area's only indoor obstacle training course into a class setting. Using interval training, plyometrics, calisthenics and functional training we will challenge your body through all the planes of motion.

Whether you are looking to improve your core stability, endurance, agility, balance, strength, overall fitness or to get ready for an endurance race our class will fit your needs.Classes will use your bodyweight, kettlebells, medicine balls, climbing ladders, ropes, and more to constantly keep you challenged!
Kids will train on the course with a certified personal trainer in a safe but fun environment. All activities will be aged based and designed to meet your child's abilities. In addition, it is essential that customers listen to staff requests for everyone's safety Thank you for your advanced cooperation.

Almost three years ago at age 65, my husband (who had been raving about working out at Excel with Mark) encouraged me to give it a try. At that point I disliked gyms and exercise, but I gave it a shot. From the very first session Kristi took the time to learn about my goals, my physical and mental limitations and my aspirations to lead an active lifestyle. Fast forward… now I know how my body and brain can change, and how I can adapt and lead a pain free active life. I could not have been partaking in a recent outdoor trip to Colorado without this new lifestyle change and my internist is impressed

I've known Mark and Kristi pre and during COVID-19, which includes both experiences at the gym and virtual training sessions. Both of the different training settings have been exceptional. I've always been athletic, but I didn't realize my full potential until I started training here. There was so much more to learn about my body and how to improve, and they have been patient, helpful, and supportive through this journey. Not only do I feel like my fitness is improving, I also feel that I am being set for the long-term and into long age to properly use my body and avoid injury later! I feel I am

Mark and Kristi along with the rest of the staff at Excel are awesome! Their passion for health and fitness is contagious and they have inspired our 12 year old twins to push themselves beyond what we thought possible. Thanks for everything Mark and Kristi!!!

I’ve been to many gyms and have gone to many trainers but nothing compared to Mark and his Gym. I have had the best experience and phenomenal workouts at Excel and I highly recommend Mark not only as a trainer but a great guy. I’ve had two back surgeries and have never gotten exercises that really helped me strengthen my whole body until I came to Excel and trained with Mark

I started working out at Excel 12 years ago after a major complication with a hip replacement . Since then Mark has moved twice each time to a more challenging floor plan . This current location is amazing!! I don’t think in the years I have privately trained with Mark he has ever used the same workout with me. Each session is challenging never boring and fun .With the square footage he has worked in your choices for your workout are very current and seem endless. I am now recovering from my second hip replacement and can’t wait to start with Mark again ( fingers crossed he has an opening in

Excel is excellent. Definitely NOT the same old, boring workout, but also NOT impossible, over-the-top, drill sergeant workouts either. They offer creative, interesting workouts, emphasizing functional fitness.

I attended a Fit Adult class at Excel and was very impressed with the organization, movements and fun of the workout. Left wanting more. Excel fitness center provides one of the best fitness facilities for adults and kids in the Bernardsville/Basking Ridge area. Great trainers and the workouts are fun. Whether you want to work on functional fitness, mobility, strength, endurance, speed, or practice ninja warrior training, Excel provides it all in a state of the art fitness facility with knowledgeable, engaging and dynamic trainers.

Two years ago I walked, more like crawled, into this place which was recommended by a friend. After fighting stage 5 kidney disease and a recent life saving kidney transplant, I was a broken man. I was broken physically, emotionally and financially. I was a total and complete stranger to both Mark and Kristi yet they still offered me a lifeline and a place in their gym to work out without any strings attached.
The kindness and compassion that these total strangers paid to me will never be forgotten. They renewed my faith that people are good and have kindness in their hearts.
