As far as fitness spaces go, this one is welcoming and non-judgmental, which can be hard to find! Will is a great coach who spends time encouraging, correcting, and pushing each person who attends his classes. He is obviously very knowledgeable and designs workouts to progress in effective and fun ways. Will recently designed a tailored small group weekly class for our local roller derby team, and he quickly figured out what our bodies need and how to help us get to the next level as athletes. We are very glad to have developed a relationship with Will and Elevate!

I have been coming to Elevate fitness since they opened last year. I have always been someone with…read morea gym pass and have even done personal training in the past. Never however, have I worked out harder than I do at this gym. The workouts change daily and each one challenges you (workouts are a mix of strength, HIIT, and cardio). I have been doing the noon and afternoon group fitness classes (Elevate has early morning, noon, and evening classes). I love how I don't need to think about my workouts, they are always planned out perfectly by Will the owner and trainer. I always get a real workout rather than just walking around a normal gym confused and leaving after a mediocre attempt at a workout. Will coaches you throughout the class and tailors the weights and exercise to your ability while pushing you to work your hardest. I have seen great progress since I've began working out here and am growing stronger. I have done exercises I never thought I could, and even those I was always too scared to do. I can only imagine that his personal training is also top notch and even more personalized. Will is a great motivator and sincerely cares about his clients. Group classes while always tough, are also fun and the people at this gym make you feel like a big family. If you want to see actual progress in yourself, join this gym!

Dan (the owner, he's awesome) felt my best match was Sally...let me tell you, he hit it out of the park! She's the BEST trainer I've ever had! I come out of every work out feeling accomplished and I'm already seeing tremendous improvement! Everyone there is awesome and treats you like an old friend when you walk in the door. They make you feel comfortable here. They also have group, one on one and couple trainings. Boxing classes, boot camps, etc. Last but not least they are extremely affordable and will work out payment plans with you if you want to pay as you go. I say, if your gonna do it, you gotta go for it, get the 48 sessions, you get a price break and I promise by the end you will see an amazing change and be ready to sign up for another 48!

No other gym has kept me so motivated and consistent. What it's like: Each day of the week there is a focus- upper body/lower/cardio (although every day really works all three). There is a white board with the daily workout, which is split into a Warm Up, Rounds 1 and 2, and Strength. There are designated class times, but you work at your own pace through the workout. Trainers are on hand to show you how to do each exercise. The workouts are tough and will push you. The atmosphere is lively. There are people at all stages of their fitness journey, including high level athletes. Everyone feels welcomed. Numa plays invigorating music. The music is more family-friendly in the evening 5pm class. It is not cheap, many people may have sticker shock, but to me it is worth the price. The facility, equipment, and staff are top-notch. They offer pricing by the class, a package of classes, or monthly unlimited. They have social media with daily reels if you want to check out what some of the workouts look like!

This place is awesome because they use every day things to get the job done. It feels as if you are part of boot camp with the workouts. You can do sled push and pulls, tire flips, keg runs, and many other things here. When they say getting it done in the yard this place does just that! It is a great place with a great staff. Derek is the owner and operator of this place and cares about each and every single person he works with. The gym is awesome and off the beaten path, but the workouts are hard and get the job done! I highly recommend you to try this place out if you want a challenge in the new year!

Derek is extremely personable, and passionate about fitness, and strength camp. He creates a fun and challenging environment, with tons of different exercise equipment.

Good compliment of equipment. I felt neglected by the owner Carly. He had no time for me and some…read moreof the recommendations he made to me were absurd IMO. He suggested 1 meal a day and a full hour of cardio and a full hour of weight training each day for 6 days each week. This is called overtraining and low blood sugar most of the day. While I agree with his premise of a whole foods plant diet, his assertion that you can eat as much as you want as long as it's a whole plant food is simply not true. You cannot be drinking fruit smoothies and carrot juice all day, nor can you eat pounds of potatoes. He pronounces himself as an authority/expert and his ego is out of control. The fact is you can accomplish the same thing by being in a daily calorie deficit and NOT drinking your calories. Overtraining is not the answer, nor is starving yourself especially if you are older

I am pleased to be writing a review of Carly - I have found his support to be extremely valuable…read more About 10 years ago I experienced a major medical incident which brought my life as an athlete to abruptly end. I subsequently gained over 60 pounds and was unable to work out. Over the last 2 years, I began a process of reclaiming my health and was able to drop about 45 pounds mostly by cleaning up my eating, however, my weight plateaued, and I felt somewhat stuck. After conducting an internet search of area fitness studios, I came upon Zen Fitness, and followed a link at the bottom of their page to Instagram, and there began to find out about Carly. After mulling it over for about 3 months, I took the dive and sent a message to inquire about training packages. I was extremely nervous about being judged, not being able to complete the exercises, and the pressure to sign up for some packages. I knew after my first appointment that I had taken the right step. The gym is clean and is staffed by a community of great people who promote healthy eating (vegan) lifestyle. Carly does a great job at reading non-verbal cues and knows when to push a little bit more as well as knowing when to take a break. I have been in the gym for about 2 months now, he asked me if I noticed any differences and it took me a while to formulate a response. Here is what I know, a lot has changed over the last two months; I am happier, I have more energy, and my body is starting to show definition. Prior to working with the studio, I felt stuck on my journey to get my body back. Now I feel supported, encouraged, and much more highly motivated. Thanks to support from Carly I feel confident that I am moving in the right direction.
