Your Best Experience

Our studio is bright, comfortable and inspiring, and our staff will make you feel welcome.
What Are Your Goals?
Just Beginning or Restarting
To get started right the first thing we should be concerned with is developing consistency in our exercises program. Reinforcing new attitudes and habits is something our trainers deal with all the time. The exercises themselves need to wake up inactive muscles while releasing chronically overused ones in order to rebalance the body and strengthen it without injury. Your body will feel vibrant right away and you'll be less stressed and more productive. (quote or link to a video)
Losing Weight and Increasing Muscle Tone
It seems almost everyone comes in with this goal in mind. Toning up your muscles and feeling stronger will happen quickly with 2-3 strength workouts per week. Weight loss takes more work, and should include strength training to gain muscle and increase metabolism, cardiovascular exercise to burn calories, and diet changes. Our fitness director is a Registered Dietitian and makes sure all of our trainers can help you stay on track with your diet goals. You can also see him for consultations or take his Weight Loss Boot Camp. (link to Weight Loss Boot Camp) (quote or link to a video)
Recovering from Injury
In our clientele nearly everyone has some kind of past injury. Our trainers are experienced at modifying your exercises to bring you increasing levels of ability and fitness while preventing relapse. We have regular staff training by Physical Therapists. Several of our trainers have worked in rehabilitation and work closely with your Therapist to insure continued progress during post rehabilitation. (quote or link to a video)
Getting Healthier and Being More Active
Perhaps your goal is not to be an athlete, but simply to be healthy and active while living life to it's fullest. That's the second most common goal our clients report, so we've had a lot of experience with this kind of program. Our fitness programs integrate many forms of training to improve your strength, balance, flexibility, agility, coordination, stability, quickness, and endurance. So, go out and do more of the activities that light your fire, with better fitness you'll get more out of them. (quote or link to a video)
Improving Your Game
We create individualized programs for both competitive and recreational athletes. Most athletes make the mistake of concentrating overly on sport specific exercises at the expense of base conditioning, core stability, balance and flexibility. The proper fitness program will improve you competitive edge, reduce your chance of injury, and make it more fun. (quote or link to a video)
The Older Athlete
We have many clients in their 60's and 70's, in fact our oldest client ever was 98. Studies show even those in their 90's can increase muscle mass, strength, balance and agility. It's never to late to start, but starting off right is important. One of the best parts of our job is creatively designing a fitness program for someone with a lifetime of past injuries and health concerns. (quote or link to a video)
After School Classes
Children benefit from exercise sessions that are fun and diverse. They gain a love for movement while developing an appreciation for their bodies. They become more coordinated and confident. We offer after school classes and private sessions. (quote or link to a video)
