    I started lifting weights when I was 14 years old. I was primarily interested in building muscle…read moremass as I transitioned to play high school football. I continued to lift and do cardio in various forms throughout college and working out remained a cornerstone of my day to day life after graduation. I'd say I was doing pretty well until I turned 35. At that point I found myself skipping workouts, eating too much junk food, finishing my kid's 'Happy Meals', and generally being lazy. I was inconsistent and could not seem to get "back on the horse." Fast forward 22 years. My on again off again pattern of working out had led me to yet another "big box" gym and, quite frankly, I was BORED. I needed a community with like-minded individuals who wanted something beyond traditional workouts. One year ago this week I found what I was looking for: KRAVE Gym. The owners and coaches recognize that we all desire to belong, feel supported, and be challenged to reach our potential. I love this place and the people I get to see on a weekly basis. I actually look forward to working out here and truly enjoy the "seasons" of our gym that highlight the importance of strength, endurance, agility, and striking. If you're struggling with motivation or just need a kick in the ass to get you back on track, this is the place for YOU!

    I have been a member at Krave Gym for about 7 or 8 years and there are so many things I love about…read moreit. Most importantly, the owners, coaches, and community. The owners started with one gym (this location) and have expanded to several more over the years, yet they remain involved in all locations. All of the coaches are great but I want to give a shout out to Anson Fisk! As luck would have it, I end up in his sessions more often than with other coaches. Anson is very enthusiastic and motivating but more importantly, he sees each person individually and works to correct form when needed. As for community, Krave partners with a local non profit each season (Special Olympics, ARL, etc.) and members are encouraged to participate in an event supporting each non-profit. There are also challenges (just completed a six-week one) and occasionally a social event. To me, Krave is much more than just a gym!

    I joined Iron & Oars in January, and after just four months, I'm down 22 pounds and 8% body fat!…read moreI've gained confidence, built muscle, made health and fitness a real priority, and have so much more energy. The combination of rowing and strength training is perfect. When I started my first 50-day challenge, I was dealing with knee pain. Jen and the team were amazing in supporting me through it, encouraging me to keep doing the work but modifying or resting when needed. Now, four months later, I have zero pain in my knee! Jen, the owner, and all the coaches are incredibly supportive while also pushing me to work hard and stay focused on my goals. I'm currently in the middle of my second challenge, and the accountability and weekly check-ins have been invaluable in keeping me on track. I'm so happy with the progress I've made--now it's time to shop for new summer clothes! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get stronger, healthier, and feel amazing!
