    Between the diet and intense workouts provided in a time of 6 weeks I was able to drop my body fat percent from 12.6 to 9.4 while increasing my muscle mass, all of the coaches and staff are amazing and push you past your limit everyday, and the people who attend the gym are all incredibly friendly and welcoming. I recommend this to anyone no matter if you're new to working out or already pretty seasoned, you'll learn something new and get incredible results.

    Ape arena has changed my life. If you want long-lasting results this is the place to come. They teach you everything you need to know. And they treat you like family. Nothing sugarcoated. Coach calls it like it is. Never in my life did I think I would be able to do the things I can do. It is amazing what can happen when you stick to a program that actually works.

    Honestly the best gym I have been a member of and I have been to MANY gyms in the past. I came in last June after my previous gym closed down due to COVID. I told myself it would be in the meantime until gyms opened up again. Now, I don't see myself ever leaving this place. Coach Chris is very knowledgeable of lifting techniques and has helped me improve tremendously. Coach Jessi is a beautiful beast of a woman and I have had the privilege of being trained closely by her at the Fittest Woman Camp. The accountability coaches are all amazing! I have seen so much physical and mental progress in my time at Ape Arena, but what I cherish and appreciate the most is the community that has been established here. I have made many close friends in the year I have been here. No matter what time I decide to show up during the day, there will be a friendly face there. I love the energy when we are all motivating each other to run just a little bit more, lift just a little bit more. We are all so different, but our common love for lifting heavy shit brought us together. Just some normal people doing abnormal things daily. I highly recommend this gym! Come try it out and have some fun. Every day is something new so you won't get bored!

    I had been looking for a way to get healthy and back into shape so I took a chance on signing up for Ape Arenas 6 week challenge. The first couple weeks were brutal! The workouts were definitely not what I was used to and I was sore all the dang time. But I pushed through, followed their meal plan, and kept coming and improving my strength. Needless to say, I met my goals here, thanks to them! This has been a great gym for me - everyone is so nice and they definitely push you. If you're looking to get stronger and change your body, I'd definitely recommend it here. It's not easy, but if you're looking for results, then this is the place to be. Now I know the value of small gyms!

    Full time working mama of 3 kiddos here AND a future hubby to please! GREAT coaches and workouts, specially when your trying to squeeze in a workout into a hectic day. I did the 6 week challenge, was very skeptical at first of being able to beat it (either lose 25lbs or 6%body fat). I chose the 6% (choose wisely for your body figure). With a healthy/reasonable eating plan (that I 80% stuck to ) I was able to do beat the challenge. Just a bit of background I'm 5'5" and currently weigh about 150 (I gained a few pounds since the challenge ). But I'm now a member, and my new goal is to keep losing fat/gaining muscle and keep it off! A bit pricey but most gyms like this are.

    I had a baby 7months ago and so I signed up for their 6wk challenge to get back into exercising . I stuck to their meal plan and worked out at 6am, 4-5days a week. But I ate horribly bad on Sundays( coaches were not aware of this!) lmao... However I was still shocked by the results on my final numbers during my last weigh in (which was today!) Today I weigh 14 lbs less then what I weighed before getting pregnant. And I'm able to fit into all my pre-baby clothes! Not only is it about those 17lbs of fat I lost, or the muscle I gained. I wasn't able to hang onto the bar long enough to do 2 knees to chest exercises, NOW I can hang long enough to do 12! I wasn't able to lift a bar with 20lbs of weight on it to my shoulders , NOW I can lift 30lbs over my head and squat! This here is my biggest motivation, before getting pregnant I was dealing with chronic depression & I was starting to fall back into that dark hole. I can now say that I'm out of that funk, I get an incredible amount of happy energy after working out! )And that's with no coffee or preworkout.) I have the confidence I lost a long time ago, I even do my hair now to just sit at home haha. Their program works you just gotta meal prep, workout and give it time! Coaches are amazing their always available to answer a question or give advice, they always point out how to better your posture or technique during an exercise and to push you to do one more rep. On my first Sat workout coach Chris did a 1min wall sit with me because I was having a hard time myself! And now after the challenge is over I signed up to be part of the family! I'm frieken excited to see what I can accomplish or look like in 6mos let alone 1year!

The environment is super welcoming to anyone who is new. Coaches look out for you, give pointers and push you to be better. I looked around for a while for a gym to help me get back into shape and I'm so glad I landed here. OH and a huge bonus, your kids are welcome to sit in the lobby during your workout of for any reason you need to bring them with you. That's what I was specifically looking for and what a blessing it's been to find it!

He assured me that he would oversee my training plan, even on days I worked with another trainer. I trained both with the owner and a second trainer. My sessions with the owner were positive, and I felt the workouts were appropriate. However, the issue arose with the second trainer. Although I was paying the higher rate specifically because the owner said he would supervise all programming, that oversight did not happen in practice. At one point, I communicated that I was experiencing pain in my right hip/groin area and asked to scale things back. Despite this, the trainer had me perform exercises like barbell squats and farmer carries. I explicitly asked whether these were safe given my condition, and I was assured they were. They were not. Following these sessions, I was later diagnosed with a labral tear, which has significantly impacted my mobility and required extensive recovery, time, and financial investment. I'm not writing this to attack a small business, but I do believe this situation reflects: * Lack of proper supervision * Inadequate adjustment for injury history * Poor judgment when a client reports pain If you're considering training here, I strongly recommend making sure: * Your program is truly customized * Communication about pain is taken seriously * The level of supervision matches what you're paying for This experience had a serious impact on my health and daily life, and I hope sharing it helps others avoid a similar situation.
