I had absolutely the best experience coming to the St Francis retreat house in DeWitt and seeking a nearby gym. I contacted Raneka about a week long membership and she arranged it all with ease. I got my fob from the drop box and spent a few evenings working out in the spotless and comprehensive gym. I used some equipment I’d never seen before like the air pressure set up where I could do pull downs, tricep extensions etc.. I had great workouts which combined with the spiritually enriching time at the retreat house which left me feeling awesome inside and out. I loved the gym and I was very impressed with DeWitt. I’m on my way back to Sarasota, Florida, I’m grateful to Raneka and encourage everyone to check out M43 in DeWitt!

I’ve been working out here for about 3 months now. This place is legit. Super clean, plenty of equipment, and everything’s easy to get to. Just a solid place to train without the usual BS like a traditional large mainstream gym.

Love this gym. Staff is awesome, trainers have great knowledge and are easy to talk to, and the facility maintains the equipment better than any gym I’ve ever been to. Staff is great, facility stays clean, and chalk is always available. Has platforms for Olympic lifts and power lifts. A large functional rack, variety of in-hand weights, and cardio equipment. The patrons are also very friendly and respectful.

Wow! First day here and I’m 100% impressed. This gym is clean, staff is friendly and professional, and the equipment is top notch. Perfect place for experienced powerlifters or athletes with mainly free weights and athletic performance equipment (vs machines.) If you’re a gym beginner I highly recommend working with a trainer here because they are knowledgeable and everyone is super welcoming but you may want some guidance for how to get a safe and effective lift (not many machines etc..) 5 stars, definitely a gem if you’re looking to train
