Shout out to our Client of the Month, Damon! Pictured here with our personal trainer Alex, Damon loves being one-on-one with the trainers and getting to know them. His favorite exerise is wall sits, and his least favorite is RDLs. He's been able to stay motivated with us my noticing the progression of heavier weights and looking more tone - especially in the chest & arms - and people have said that they notice he's been working out. Keep up the awesome work Damon! 💪

Thank you!! Many of our recent reviews have mentioned how clean the studio is, and how safe our clients feel working out here - especially now with Covid-19 numbers on the rise. Our trainers work hard to sanitize each piece of equipment used during a session and to thoroughly clean any common areas regularly. Thanks for noticing

Thanks for the nice review, Pam; and keep up the awesome work so that you keep getting the results!! #FeedbackFriday I am just starting the training and have already seen results. The focus on my specific goals is what I was looking for in a personal training site and so far my expectations have been met. The location is convenient and they keep the site clean.
