Jessica Jones has been my trainer since 2022, and I can honestly say she has transformed my life. I…read morestarted with the goal of building muscle to support my long-term health--strengthening my core, reducing my risk of osteoporosis, and simply feeling stronger in my own body. In the three years we've worked together, she has not only helped me accomplish all of that, she has taken me far beyond what I ever thought I could do. Jessica has this incredible ability to push me exactly when I need it, even in the moments when I would've quit on myself. Her workouts are always thoughtful, always tailored to my needs, and always spot-on. She listens, adapts, and somehow knows just how to challenge me while keeping the sessions fun (unless I'm gasping for air--but even then, she gets me talking again!). I admire her expertise, her professionalism, and the genuine care she puts into every session. I respect her more than I can say. I would never have reached this level of strength, confidence, and overall health without her guidance. She is amazing--plain and simple--and I'm beyond grateful to have her in my corner.

However, this year my wife and I decided to make weight lifting a shared hobby of ours. I'm happy to say I've hit my PR's this week that and I'm lifting as much as I did 5-10 years. Nate and Megan have created a schedule/routine that is consistent and bears results! Not only that, I look forward to attending after a long day of work. Strength Warehouse has a various types of classes for you to attend. I attend the class that focuses on Benching, Deadlifting, and Squatting, 3 times a week. There are other classes that focus on free weight circuit and strongman workouts. They also have open gym on time slots when there are no classes. If you're looking for a place to continue building strength, or just want to get started, stop by and check them out.

I was never a "gym guy" until I was fortunate enough to find Fortitude Fitness. I love it here…read more The workouts are challenging and varied, but most importantly the coaching is excellent. I never used to lift weights, in part because I worried I might hurt myself with poor form. Travis is one of the best coaches I've met, in any context. He's patient, precise, and supportive. Lindsay brings a level of humor and fun to workouts that doesn't take away from safety and motivation. If you want a place that really focuses on using good form, on keeping your body safe while getting and staying fit, this is it. Another reason I've stayed for four years and plan on working out here forever is the community. It's nice to greet and be greeted by workout buddies of all ages. I'm in my 50s. Just this morning I touched base with a guy in his twenties who usually takes the same class as me. He said to me, "hey, I noticed you've been looking stronger lately...thought I should share that with you." This from-the-heart comment really pumped me up, especially since I'm still in recovery from a minor surgery. And it echoed the motivating phrase painted in huge letters on the wall: Stronger Than Yesterday. Who is the ideal person for this gym? Anyone. Really. There are professional athletes who workout here, and there are retired folks. Nurses, project managers, desk jockeys. There's a middle aged couple whose four kids sometimes join the workouts. When my kids are old enough, I know they'll be welcomed here. There are 20-somethings and 40-somethings and 60-somethings. Some couples workout together, some go solo. Mon, Wed, and Fri when my alarm goes off at 6:20 I just want to go back to sleep. But then I say to myself, "you're always glad you went." So I go, and I AM always glad. And during the workout, most days at least, I do feel stronger than yesterday.

I called them to find out their schedules for the evening and they had a 4:30pm slot available. Perfect! I arrived a few minutes early to fill out the usual waivers. The standard drop in rate is $27. This Pilates studio did not require the grippy socks my home studio in Seattle usually mandates. In this class, we would be utilizing 3 machines (standard reformer, chair reformer, and mat reformer). It is a relatively small studio- max of 5 students per class. The instructor was wonderful! She was patient in explaining each of the moves and gave me plenty of pointers and tips along the way. We did great core work and I thoroughly enjoyed trying out new machines. The one downside? I didn't get to really sweat in this class (maybe it just wasn't the right class for me?). But I will definitely be back to try another class the next time I am visiting Bend.
