An amazing environment and community of athletes. Since joining Shift, I have improved tremendously as an athlete. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, meeting you at the level you're at while also helping to push you towards your goals. I came into Shift having been dealing with previous athletic injuries for years. The coaches worked with me one-on-one in modifying workouts and movements to aid in progressing my fitness while continuing to rehab around my injuries. The facility is spacious with quality equipment, and you truly get a return on your investment into your health and fitness at this gym.

Some of the best coaches. They have given me so much patience in explaining movement and the workouts. They offer great feedback and offer numerous opportunities to scale the workout to your athletic ability. They consider feedback from their members and add fun opportunities to get together and enjoy each other's company outside of workout outfits. I'd recommend this gym if you are a seasonal athlete or just starting. This is my second home.

By far the most welcoming community I’ve experienced at a gym. The owners get to know everyone that walks in the door. It doesn’t matter how out of shape you are or in shape you are, they welcome everyone and scale the workouts to you. They are intentional about being a friendly environment. Their in house nutrition expert knows her stuff! They care about their clients and make a point to focus on safe form over lifting more weight, protecting us from injury. I had a few workouts where they had me remove weight because my form was starting to suffer. They really care about their clients. This a great place to achieve whatever your goals are and they scale workouts to meet you where you are at too.
