Absolutely love Percheron! If you are like me and don't know where to start working out this is for you! They have small group classes throughout the day that fit into my busy schedule and every class is coach-guided and instructed so you know exactly what to do or how to modify through the entire workout! I've made so many friends and love going to the gym now.

Don't think about it...ust get here. 2 and 1/2 years in and I'm still upright. That's got to be saying something... especially considering what they're working with. 🙂

Percheron is a breath of fresh air! Between the amazing coaches and positive environment, Percheron is set apart from any other gym. Joining a gym postpartum was intimidating; however, all the anxiety faded under their guidance. All the members are in different seasons of life, so there are modifications for that as well. So thankful I took a chance at their open, and joined!☺️

I have had a great experience at Percheron! I started when I was in my second trimester and they were very accommodating throughout the remainder of my pregnancy and now postpartum. Fitness is truly for everyone at every stage of life. Each workout is modified to your abilities and needs each day. Percheron has built a community that cheers you on and they have fun challenges that keep you engaged and wanting to come back for more!

Percheron Fitness is absolutely the GREATEST gym here or ANYwhere!! I started out here 2 1/2 years ago, after triple bypass surgery, several feet surgeries, and still with severe scoliosis and arthritis in my back. I had never done exercise quite like this in my 67 years of life! But the coaches here work with you and help you achieve all your fitness goals safely & effectively!! Yes at this stage in my life there are modifications, but they all work perfectly!!! I come almost every day!! I’m not going to sit on the couch & wait for old age to set in!! We HAVE to MOVE!!! ❤️❤️💪🏻💪🏻 I KNOW if I can do it, ANYone can!!!!! It’s also a VERY fun and friendly atmosphere of people in all the classes!! Come join us!!! I PROMISE you will NEVER regret it!!!!

Read this review!!!
I was literally terrified to start. It took me a few weeks to build up enough courage to call but I’m so happy I did. Everybody is very welcoming and the coaches were extremely knowledgeable and are great at listening when I explain how my body is feeling and will customize each workout to get the most out of my time and effort. I would 100% recommend Percheron if you wanna feel better and improve many areas of your life. I hated exercise before I started coming here but now I absolutely look forward to working out with great people in a great gym. Don’t put it off any longer. You will be glad you did.

I have been going to Percheron Fitness for nearly 3 years and I absolutely love it for so many reasons. The coaches, community and the culture often Percheron make it what it is. I am challenged and my goals are supported. Those reasons plus the results I’ve experienced make coming to this gym consistently a non-negotiable for me.

If you’re looking for a gym, look no further! Hands down, the BEST of the BEST! I’ve been consistently going here since July 2025 and I couldn’t be more happy with my progress—both physically and mentally! The coaches are very knowledgeable and meet each member right where they are at on the fitness journey. What I love most is the sense of community here—everyone is supportive and genuinely wants to see each other succeed. It’s not just a gym, it’s a place that keeps you motivated to become the best version of yourself.
