I'm a 67 year old female with a history of lower back, sacral and balance issues. I'm so grateful to have found F.I.T. My path here has been a matter of jumping from one lily pad to another to cross a pond. (Thanks to author Anne Lamott for the analogy.) I'd been going to another gym for 8 years. I'd made a lot of progress there and gone through two hip replacements with them. I even did some weight lifting and found I enjoyed it. In 2014, I was diagnosed with a slipped vertebra and spinal stenosis. I kept going to the gym, doing the best I could, but by early 2016, I had to quit. The pain was stubborn, unresolved and worsening. No matter what accommodations my coach made, nothing worked. I was at a very low point, but not ready to throw in the towel. I kept looking for the next lily pad. In the summer of 2016 I tried acupuncture and what a difference that made! This gave me hope I might be able to go back to working out. But where? I was looking for a workout more customized to my body and its limitations. I searched the web for a solution. I found an exceptionally helpful site devoted to my spinal condition (www.spondy.com). This site introduced me to an assessment method called FMS (www.functionalmovement.com). I searched the web again for local providers of FMS and found F.I.T. I was so excited to find a local gym which did an assessment BEFORE they designed your workout. I didn't hesitate. I picked up the phone and made an appointment with owner Jared Markiewicz. During the intake process, I was impressed and reassured by how much time he took to understand my limitations, mainly my age and my medical issues. I had my first workout Jan 26, 2017. I was nervous because I'm not your typical gym candidate. It takes me a long time to learn body positions and a very short time to forget them, and I was worried about triggering my back issues. And if that wasn't enough, I get anxious and tend to doubt myself. What a stroke of good fortune to be assigned to Coach Luke Briggs. He takes all these things in stride and just keeps moving forward. He believes in me when I don't believe in myself. He has been very patient and has adapted many of the exercises to my ability level. As a result, I love weight lifting and my back, core and legs are stronger than they've ever been. This newfound strength has helped me in so many ways, from reducing my back pain to attending yoga to volunteering at Heartland Farm Sanctuary. At 67, I thought most of the things I liked to do were a thing of the past, but thanks to F.I.T. I've got a new lease on life! Here's why I recommend F.I.T. * Use of the Functional Movement Assessment * Coaches are knowledgeable, friendly and they love to laugh. * Coaches adapt to fit your needs and limitations. Your success is their success. * Weight lifting and core training results are measurable and you can see progress two ways: in the mirror and in the numbers! * All ages and abilities come to F.I.T. I'm proof of that. * I've seen a lot of progress in the last year and you can too! read more

Before joining FIT and only doing strength training on my own and at various gyms or classes over the years, I still had a hard time seeing the benefit in doing regular strength and agility work. But after having been a member at FIT for several years, and can't say enough about the facility, their approach, and the coaches there. They take a serious, holistic, and completely individualized approach to every athlete, yet they still find a way to keep things fun and new! FIT is not about the latest 'fad' workout or doing a bunch of crazy things that will make you feel tough or worn out, but is about meeting each individual where they are at and progressing appropriately to where each individual's goals are at. I love the array of athletes at FIT, from kids and high school athletes in development programs, competitive olympic lifters, performance driven athletes, to people just wanting to become a better version of themselves for everyday life. It is an incredibly inclusive environment with a wide variety of body types. I also love how the gym understands that developing and progressing as an athlete and person is not just about the time spent in the gym, but also what is done outside of the gym, and they have great support networks for that in an approachable, and non intimidating way! here is a little video about more thoughts about FIT: https://youtu.be/W1BTRUAyv4o read more

I just received an email from FIT congratulating me on my one year anniversary there. One year ago I went there weighing the heaviest I have ever been, knowing that something needed to be done, not just because of the weight, but because I lacked self-esteem, confidence, energy, & all the other things that made me love who I was, pre-baby weight. Today, I'm down 50 pounds, & FEEL AMAZING!!!!!!! I really can't say enough great things about this facility, & all the trainers there that have helped me get to where I am today! From the professionalism, cleanliness, knowledge of trainers, nutritional guidance, gauging of strength, & helping individuals do what they can without causing injury, etc. Anyone can go to a "gym," & workout, but FIT holds you accountable for your success, & progress! I consider this my home away from home, & love the way I feel when I leave there after every workout! read more

I've been going to FIT for about 6 months now and it's going great! The coaches are very helpful, and really work with you on proper form and getting stronger. I joined as a beginner with weight training, and the FIT coaches tailored my program based on my experience, injury history, and goals. It's amazing to see how far I've come along in 6 months, and I can honestly say I'm in the best shape I've been in for years. I'm currently in a FIT member challenge group, and it's given me the extra competition needed to focus more on my lifestyle outside the gym. The group is sharing outside workouts and recipes/meal choices via a FB group, and we're having a great time with it! FIT truly has something for anyone, from beginners to extreme athletes. Their non-intimidating approach makes it very easy and comfortable to learn the ropes, and their members will help build your motivation. read more

I have had a chance to do both the personal performance training as well as the advanced performance training classes and I could not be happier with this gym. Jared was easily able to pick up on my past injuries and current muscular imbalances during my first fitness assessment. He then made a workout plan geared specifically towards my individual fitness goals with necessary modifications. Each coach is great to work with and engages with me to help improve my form and push me during each session. FIT does an amazing job of creating an atmosphere that invites people of all fitness levels and ages to challenge themselves. If you are wanting to become a stronger athlete in your sport, recover from an injury, or just get in shape... this is your gym! read more

This is my first experienced in a group-workout-oriented gym. I've been going for over a year now and I can't believe how much I enjoy the trainers and other members at the facility. The classes are great for all levels as each exercise has multiple variations that give you more challenge as you progress. The focus here is truly on an all-encompassing healthy lifestyle. Jared and the rest of the trainers are very knowledgeable about strength training, weight loss, healthy eating, and good habit-forming routines. They're available before, during, and after sessions and are great about answering questions via social media or their training app. All in all, I can't recommend this gym enough! read more

I absolutely love working out at FIT and have done so since last July. All the coaches care so much about you as a person and an athlete. They want you to be as successful as possible, but they also work extremely hard to prevent injury. FIT coaches work with the level of mobility you are at and help you personally become better. Whatever your goal is, that's what they help you work towards. It does not matter your size, ability or previous experience. They will meet you where you're at and help you improve from there! FIT is a community of people all trying to be their best! The FIT family is a real thing! And one you should join if you want real progress and change for the better!! read more

I have been at FIT now for about 6 years, and I can't imagine my life without it. I joined as part of a challenge and never looked back. I have worked with a wide variety of coaches throughout the years, and the consistency and high quality across the entire coaching staff is very evident. They work as a team, first and foremost. The last several years, I've been working with Max (in Olympic lifting and then back in FIT Athlete sessions), and thanks to his training and guidance, was able to crush my meet PRs in the recent powerlifting meet. His patience and gentle pushing really help me visualize my goals and not get frustrated if I miss something. read more

FIT is a positive gym where the trainers work with clients to meet individual needs in group class settings. This is a safe, supportive place where everyone is respected. I never thought I'd enjoy strength training this much, but through supportive coaches and accessible programming that scaffolded my fitness levels over the past year and a half, I've become a strength athlete who even competes at powerlifting meets. My mindset about what I can achieve, in fitness and in life has completely shifted, and a large part of that is due to FIT. read more

A friend recommended Functional Integrated Training and I couldn't be more grateful. Everywhere else I have worked out, I've been lost. What exercises to do, how to use the machines, what weight to try, etc. At Functional Integrated Training the coaches have helped me to feel comfortable and confident in getting back to a healthy lifestyle. Working out here is fun and challenging; which I never thought I would say about working out. The coaches are fantastic at what they do and really make you feel a part of the "FIT" family. read more

I've been training at FIT for almost two years now. That might be the longest I've stuck with anything fitness related. The trainers are all super knowledgeable. Really EVERY ONE OF THEM!! They are awesome. It doesn't matter if you are 15 years old or 75 years old. Maybe you want to run a marathon, maybe you want to play college football, maybe you just want to feel better in your own skin. It doesn't matter what your fitness goals are they can help! Check them out. You won't be sorry! read more

Functional Integrated Training has changed me from a "I'll never workout consistently unless I can do it at home or within walking distance" to someone who wakes up before the sun to drive 25 minutes to get to gym. I love working out at FIT....the coaches are extremely knowledgeable and each have a unique style of coaching and background in training. The synergy of the experience within the coaching staff makes this gym great for a novice or an Olympic weight lifter. read more

I've been a member at FIT for just over a year. While I consider myself a fairly experienced lifter, I have learned so much from the coaches during my PPT sessions. From tweaks in form to new ways to perform "standard" lifts, my strength has progressed steadily and I am seeing PRs in every program. Additionally, the supportive environment and flexible session times all make FIT an exceptional value and one of my favorite places to be 3x every week! read more

I recently competed in FIT's Members-Only Weightlifting Competition. The coaches set me up for success; I hit my numbers & even went heavier than planned on deadlift. The most surprisingly thing was how much confidence I gained. Not just confidence in what my body is capable of but also confidence to trust in myself. Strength training has improved my physical and mental wellness and I truly believe that wouldn't have happened without FIT. read more

I joined FIT about a year ago and love it! The coaches are amazing and attentive to your needs. They give great guidance on all exercises and help you improve your form.
