Started with 21-day trial and midway I decided it check all the boxes for doing and maintaining exercise program, good trainers, convenient classes, clean environment, and friendly staff and participants. I am a member.
As someone who’s always been active and enjoys a challenging workout, I’m pretty selective about gyms and training programs. What makes SOF different is how the coaching, programming and community come together. The trainers are knowledgeable, the members are supportive and every workout is purposeful. I especially appreciate that the programming follows a clear plan, with each session building toward broader goals rather than feeling random. SOF makes fitness easy to follow: show up, trust the plan and watch the progress happen.

I really enjoy coming to this gym, everyone I've met is super friendly and welcoming. The workouts are diverse and challenging and I leave starting my day feeling accomplished. The staff are knowledgeable and push you but are always checking in and adjusting to your abilities. This isn't a big box gym, which I was why it was the right fit. Instead of having a membership and never using it, I look forward to signing up for group workouts. The accountability and motivation needed with flexibility for my schedule.

Howard Thomas4 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Howard has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Expert personal trainers and small group sessions, nearly around the clock access to the gym for unguided workouts, secure facility, ample room while still maintaining a small gym feel, amazingly friendly and encouraging staff and fellow attendees…what is not to love? If you say cost, I assert that you get what you pay for and at State of Fitness you are definitely not “just a number”.
My only complaint is that I don’t start sooner.
