I absolutely love this gym! It’s small but has everything you need for a good workout. My trainer, Jill Wilde, is the best. She has my workout streamlined for the issues I need to address. I highly recommend her and this gym to everyone!

This is a private personal training club. They have all the equipment you will need with free weights and machines and ropes and all! I have been working out for about 6 months and I have had a great experience. There are multiple trainers depending on your style, and they work all day M-S. The clients are different ages and goals and everyone is very friendly! This is NOT a big box fitness gym, this is focused and driven by your PT, this isn’t a social club to sit around and have green tea smoothies, they keep you working hard! Best of all I see the results, I am leaner and stronger and feel better! Highly recommend

Luke is an amazing, caring, and professional personal trainer! As a college student who had never really worked out before, I was a little unsure of what to expect when I started. Luke has made the entire experience comfortable, encouraging, and enjoyable.
After only one month of working with him, I’m already noticing positive results and feeling stronger and more confident in the gym. He takes the time to explain exercises, makes sure I’m using proper form, and tailors my workouts to help me achieve my personal fitness goals.
Luke has also been extremely helpful with nutrition, giving me practical advice and helping me make important changes to my diet to support my progress.
I would highly recommend Luke to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely caring personal trainer. Whether you’re completely new to working out like I was or simply looking to take your fitness to the next level, Luke is an excellent trainer!

I’ve been training with Ronnie Moore for over a year now, highly recommend him. I had already been doing some basic weightlifting for about a year before that, but I needed the structure and challenge of working with someone 1:1. It’s the continued accountability that has helped me reach my goals and slowly make changes to my habits. Ronnie is not pushy, but he will help you look in the mirror and make positive changes if you are ready.
The gym has a water station, cubbies, InBody machine to follow your body composition (% fat) and bathrooms, and the crowd is varied, with enough equipment and space to go around. Fancy doesn’t mean better results. It is a more strength-focused gym with a small area for basic cardio (treadmills, stationary bike, assault bike, stairmaster). There is a wide range of clients from young to old all working on themselves.

I’ve been training with Josh Norris for 5 years at this point and I am truly grateful and blessed to have him as a friend, and personal trainer. My initial goals were weight loss, and to improve overall conditioning. What I did not realize at that point was how fitness would become such an important part of my day-to-day life. I am an endocrinologist by profession and treat diabetes and obesity primarily in my practice. Not only has Josh shaped the way I live my life, but he has also helped me become a better physician who is able to incorporate fitness and nutrition into treating underlying metabolic disease. I train with Josh as part of the early morning (5:30 AM) crew. We constantly evaluate and reassess our goals and continue to make progress every day - even 5 years later. If you are looking for a trainer that will listen to you, help you set and achieve your goals while changing your life forever, call Josh.
