The gym is really clean and has all the equipment you may need.

Audrey Powell6 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Audrey has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
My cousin recommended that I train with Robert. I dragged my feet for a while because I was intimidated—he’s an elite athlete and a trainer. I worried I wouldn’t be able to keep up.
After working with him for over six weeks, I can honestly say my judgment was wrong. Robert is the consummate professional. I’ve worked with other trainers, and my experience with him has been far beyond anything I’ve had before.
From the start, Robert completed a thorough physical assessment and is tailoring my program to fit my specific needs. He’s taken my abilities into account and is truly meeting me where I am.
Beyond his deep knowledge of body mechanics and training, Robert is also a positive, spiritual person. He’s easy to talk to, grounded, and consistently offers thoughtful, sound advice. Helping others become their best selves clearly isn’t just something he does—it’s his calling and passion.
If you’re considering training with Robert Johnson, I encourage you to do it with no regrets.

Before working with Robert, I was a seasoned "gym rat" who felt that I knew what to do to have success. However, I was experiencing a plateau and frustration. I felt like although I was doing "all the right things", I was not getting the results that I expected. A friend of mine recommended Robert. I began working out with him one month ago. He has helped me understand what I was doing wrong and taught me more than I ever imagined that I would learn. I have broken past the plateau and already have gotten in better shape than I've been in over the past 6 years. I have worked with trainers in the past; however, I never had a trainer with the knowledge that Robert has. Never got results like this before. Great trainer!

I’ve been training with Robert for about two months now, and I’ve already seen a significant improvement in my strength and control. My goal was to get stronger, leaner, and build muscle, and I feel like I’m truly making progress. Robert is knowledgeable, patient, and very encouraging. He challenges you in a way that pushes you to improve without making you feel overwhelmed or ready to give up. I truly trust that he can help me reach my goals. I specifically wanted a proven, legitimate professional instead of hiring another gym trainer, since I haven’t had the best experiences with that in the past. Robert is the real deal, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to reach their fitness goals. 💪

I recently lost several pounds and had muscle loss being a female in mid 50s . I was exploring options to rebuild muscle . I contacted Robert and met in person . He set a meal plan and I workout 3x weekly and love it. He modifies workouts on my individual needs.
