I've been working with Ownit Rx (Fabien) since having my 2nd baby in June, and it's been a game changer. He understands my needs as a new mother, working with a body unfamiliar to me, while also challenging me to push myself and show up for myself! I feel stronger, and I'm proud of where we are headed. Thanks Fabien !

Thank you, Kendyl. So glad you're feeling stronger since starting in June. Appreciate you training with us.

I've been going to Ownit RX for almost 6 months now after not lifting for several years, and it has been fantastic so far. Fabien does a great job of programming challenging, but modifiable classes and always keeps the group entertained during classes. All of the classes have been relatively small, which means that it's been really easy to ask questions about how to do an exercise or get a form check.
Fabien has been a wealth of knowledge on exercises and has helped me set up a small rehab program for a hamstring injury that I picked up a few months ago. It got me healthy again so quickly.
I'm looking forward to seeing what progress I make over the next few months and also working out with all of my neighbors
Response from the owner · a month ago
Alex, this is what it's all about. Getting you healthy after that hamstring and watching your progress over these last 6 months has been awesome to be part of. Small classes, real coaching, good people. Keep showing up, the next few months are going to be big for you. Appreciate you, brother.

Medical History: two strokes, heart transplant, and spinal fractures
On my first day at OwnitRX, Fabien and the rest of the staff made me feel like my goals were possible. We focused on the fundamentals until I was able to push myself without hurting my body. I see the positive effects of my training at OwnitRX in big and small ways: being able to maintain my posture all day to no longer feeling like my entire lower body is hollow. OwnitRx gave me the tools to achieve my body and health goals. If you're looking for results and a community that pushes you to do better, definitely join this OwnitRX.

I first considered the gym in January and finally joined in June. My hesitance was the ability to keep up with the class. I clearly found out that was completely the opposite. Fabien is an excellent leader always encouraging and has guided me to increasing my abilities all around. While clearly being an older member the 6am crew is fabulous! They have welcomed me with open arms! Grandma and aunties this is the gym for you!

As a socially anxious person, there are few scenarios that feel more intimidating to me than showing up to a new gym. After trying out a few gyms in the area, I am so happy I found OwnIt RX! This was the first gym I visited where the owner immediately welcomed me, gave me a tour, and answered all of my questions. The atmosphere is extremely welcoming towards people at all fitness levels, and the feedback and coaching I receive during each workout is extremely helpful. The owner is very welcoming and makes everyone feel comfortable regardless of where they are on their fitness journey. I came to this gym after having been fairly sedentary for about 6 months and was able to get modifications for where I’m at now. I am so happy I found this gym and have already made great progress within my first month!

Thank you Maddy !!! You’re a great addition to the gym ‘

Each time I have had the absolute honor of working out at this facility, I have been challenged, supported, and pushed to get the most out of my workout. I leave with an endorphin rush each time and feel stronger and closer to achieving my strength, stability, and overall wellness goals. Fabian is extremely knowledgeable and can modify and adjust workouts to fit your needs. I enjoy the atmosphere, the well planned workouts, and the folks I work out beside. 10s across the board!

Wanted to look for a new gym in my neighborhood that could give me a good daily workout after a LONG day of sitting down in front of a computer. Thankfully I came across Ownit Rx and Fabien’s workouts are great, 45ish mins long, in a group setting, and target different muscle groups. I’m a cyclist on the weekends, but I wanted to focus on muscle growth and each week the workouts help with that as you focus on progressive overload. I’ve managed to hit some PR’s, but at my own pace with no injury (as I’ve done in the past at other gyms).
Fabien is really friendly and makes everyone feel welcome, including everyone in the conversation (you can choose to participate or if you want to focus on your workout no one will bug you - but it’s fun to join in the chit chat) and mixing up the music playlist so you don’t get bored. Folks there encourage each other and it just makes working out fun.
Highly recommend Ownit as it’s been a game changer for my fitness journey, especially if you’re looking for a gym with a good atmosphere and hitting some PRs! 😉
Response from the owner · a year ago
Thank you for the awesome review! We love having you at Ownit Rx and seeing you crush those PRs while staying injury-free. Balancing strength training with your cycling is a smart move, and we’re glad the workouts fit your goals. It’s all about progress at your own pace, in a supportive environment that keeps things fun and effective. Appreciate the shoutout on the atmosphere too—strong workouts and good vibes go hand in hand! Looking forward to seeing you hit even more milestones.
