Leaner fitness is the real deal if you are looking to get in shape or just improve your overall health. I found Leaner Fitness just after COVID and connected with Justin. He thoughtfully worked with me on exercise and diet until I reached my goal weight.
Fast forward to 2026 and I found myself prone to injury while playing tennis. The coaches at Leaner Fitness are very focused on the individual and the individual goals. They consider the whole person and your objectives. I have recently been working with Jamie who has taken a very measured approach to getting me to a place where I can do the right exercises to improve my athletic performance. I have now transitioned to Derrek who is infusing his athletic background to get me to the next level.
I have had the opportunity to work with Jamie, Justin, Julianna, Derrek, Peter and Corey. To say that Leaner Fitness only hires the best people is an understatement. If you are thinking about personal training for ANY reason…choose Leaner Fitness. They care about you and your goals and you WILL see the results you work for. Highly recommend!!

Waylon at Leaner Fitness is more than just a fitness coach. He's my hype man, motivator, and someone who genuinely invests in my progress.
What I love about Leaner Fitness is that it doesn't feel like your typical cookie-cutter gym. It's personal, welcoming, and honestly feels like my gym. There's always a great playlist going, the energy is fantastic, and Waylon makes every session something to look forward to.
He's incredibly knowledgeable and knows exactly when and how to push me. He takes pictures and videos so I can actually see my progress, celebrates the small wins, and keeps me focused on the bigger picture. What really sets him apart is that he doesn't just plan workouts. He understands my goals, has a clear vision for where he wants to take me, and makes me believe I can get there.
And perhaps the biggest testament to his impact? I now show up early to the gym, finish my warm-up before our session, and am ready to get to work. That's not something I would have imagined myself doing!
Waylon has managed to turn fitness from something I should do into something I genuinely want to do.
Couldn't have asked for a better coach. Highly recommend Waylon and Leaner Fitness!
Thanks so much for being a part of our community! And thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review. It really means the world to us and makes what we do really worthwhile🙏🏽🙏🏽 Can’t express how happy we are to have you with us

I tried with Waylon while I was there and he was really instrumental in coaching me both in and out of the gym with nutrition, motivation and just keeping tabs and not giving up even if I felt like it.

Simply put, I truly enjoy Leaner Fitness and could not have asked for a better coach than Coach Gracey!
I came to Leaner Fitness with very little gym experience and even less with a personal trainer, but a few goals in mind. Coach Gracey took the time to get to know me, tailored a plan for my education and fitness, and continues to show me how to be the best version of myself.
She is a phenomenal source of information, intellect, and intuition, and is also just a joy to be around!
Leaner Fitness’s locations are very well-kept and have a great variety of machines and equipment. Each coach I have met has been so awesome, welcoming, and helpful!
I will strive be with this gym (& Coach Gracey) as long as I am able!

Leaner Fitness is a great gym with a welcoming, positive atmosphere and a very personalized approach to training. I’ve had such a great experience here, especially with my trainer, Maddie!
Maddie is absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and always brings so much positive energy. What I appreciate most is how much thought she puts into every workout. She knows about my wrist issue and always plans ahead, adjusting exercises to keep me safe while still challenging me and keeping me on track with my goals.
She somehow manages to make me feel the pain 😂 while still making every workout fun! She’s funny, motivating, bright, and genuinely a pleasure to train with. I always leave feeling stronger, energized, and accomplished. Highly recommend Leaner Fitness—and especially Maddie! ❤️
