I have so much fun coming. Ive met lots of friends who also push me to work harder. The trainers are wonderful, they encourage me to do my best but also modify exercises based on how my body is feeling that day. My body is so much more in shape and stronger than when I started.

The gym is clean, welcoming, fully equipped, and seems to attract great clientele. I've been working through a back injury with amazing success, and the main thanks goes to Cassie. Hands down the best trainer I've worked with. Her anatomical knowledge is incredible, her understanding of functional movement so valuable, especially when you're battling an injury. Absolutely recommend this gym
