I found Own It Fitness when I was looking for a smaller gym where I wouldn’t feel lost in the crowd and where each person actually gets individual attention. Mir has been my trainer from day one, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide me on this journey.
Mir is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and somehow knows exactly how much to push you. He listens to you, watches you closely, corrects you when you need it, appreciates your progress, and is right there cheering you on when you’re trying to get through that last rep. What I love most is that he genuinely celebrates the little victories with you. You can tell that he truly cares about the people he trains and their fitness journey.
And beyond being a fantastic trainer, Mir is just one of the nicest people. Conversations with him are always fun, and even on days when working out feels hard, he makes the experience enjoyable. He’s a genuinely good human being, and that comes through in the way he trains and treats people.
Miguel, the owner, has also created something really special at Own It Fitness. It’s a space where you can focus on yourself without feeling overwhelmed by everything happening around you like you sometimes do at a big gym. All of the trainers are friendly, encouraging, and supportive, and there’s a really positive energy to the place.
Consistency has always been something I’ve struggled with when it comes to fitness. Somehow, Own It Fitness and Mir have changed that. I actually want to show up, keep getting stronger, and improve a little every day. And for me, that says everything.
Couldn’t recommend Mir and Own It Fitness more highly. ❤️

Memorable experiences I will always cherish. I feel like I am on a global voyage when I visit. Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine. All the great places for deadlifts and split squats. I will be well prepared on going thru passport control if asked to demonstrate my form with any of these if asked.

Joining Own It Fitness has been great! I was hesitant about weightlifting due to old injuries and hypermobility, but the Alberto has tailored every workout to my limitations. Their team prioritizes proper form and adapt exercises as needed so I can build strength safely without aggravating past injuries.
Even with my physical limitations, in just two months I’ve gained about 2 lbs of muscle and doubled my skeletal muscle growth rate compared to working out on my own.
Beyond the twice-weekly training, they provide helpful nutritional coaching, custom calorie/protein targets, and a handy app for tracking progress and finding meal ideas. The facility is clean, and the team is friendly, knowledgeable, and makes working out fun. It is pricey, but for me, having this level of support feels like a necessary investment to get my health on track.

As someone who’s a runner, rock climber, and generally stays in good shape, I’m always looking for ways to improve my overall performance and function. What impressed me most was the level of attention to detail and personalized coaching.
The entire team was welcoming, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me reach my goals. They identified areas for improvement that I hadn’t recognized myself and built a customized plan around my strengths, weaknesses, and long-term goals.
As a busy healthcare professional, I also appreciate how efficient and structured the coaching is. Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or you’re an experienced athlete looking to perform at a higher level, I highly recommend this team. They truly meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.
I look forward to working with Miguel and the team!

I joined Own It Fitness about 4 months ago for semi-private personal training.. it's completely changed my relationship with fitness!
To be real, I struggle with consistency and motivation. And I was honestly intimidated by strength training because I was afraid I'd injure myself with incorrect methods. I needed someone to watch and correct me.
The coaches at Own It Fitness, especially Alberto, Miguel, and Mir have been incredible. During my "Thrive Trial", Miguel put me at ease with helpful directions and the assessment was well worth it. The team creates a supportive (and playful) environment while still challenging me to improve. The semi-private format gives personalized coaching without feeling intimidating and motivates me as I'm working hard alongside others 💪. With these guys, I've always felt safe, supported, and encouraged.
In 4 months, I've gained some strength and muscle, improved my mobility, and I feel MORE energetic. This to me is the ticket! And I keep hitting new personal bests :)
The moment that REALLY showed me how far I've come was the annual Mission Peak hike. Before it started, I planned to turn around just after 30 mins. Instead, with encouragement from the team and plenty of support along the way, I made it ALL THE WAY to the TOP. As someone who doesn't really hike, that 2.5hr climb to the top felt impossible just a few months ago.
Today, I'm someone who genuinely looks forward to working out twice a week... which is something I never imagined I'd say!
If you're looking for knowledgeable coaches, personalized programming, accountability, and a supportive community, I highly recommend Own It Fitness... just don't take my slot 😉

This is the place to go if you are struggling to meet fitness or nutrition goals. Workouts and eating plans are personalized, making it easier to identify and overcome bad habits.

I’ve been training with Own-It Fitness for about five months now, and it’s been exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a boutique gym environment with semi-private sessions, personalized attention, and trainers who actively track progress and keep you motivated—and this place delivers on all of that. I’ve been working with Mir, who’s been an incredible trainer, thoughtfully designing workouts tailored to my long-term goals. I’m really enjoying the journey and definitely plan to continue.

Support, motivation, and positive reinforcement - this place has it.
I’ve been coming to Own It Fitness for several years and every day I walk through the doors I feel welcomed and encouraged.
The team is mindful of injuries, personal journeys and have always met me where I am. My goal was to initially get skinnier - and may always be - but Own It has helped me realize that strength and flexibility is more important.
I have seen such positive changes in my mood, habits and physique since starting here. Thankful to Alberto, Miguel, and Taylor for being there for me and giving me support when I’ve needed it.
Cant wait to see where I am this time next year!

I loved training at Own It Fitness! The space is clean, well maintained, and the bright interiors make it feel energizing and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The variety of training tools kept workouts fun and engaging. I also loved the music they played during workouts — it really helped me with motivation and energy, especially during tougher sets.🎶
I appreciated the thoughtful, scientific approach to training, with regular monthly check-ins and workout updates.
All of the instructors are top-notch — incredibly supportive while also challenging you to push yourself. Truly grateful for the experience and the care the team brings to their work. ♥️
Thank you Miguel and the entire Own It Fitness team for helping me kick start my strength training journey 🙏
