There are many gyms to choose from in Asheville but this one is different in many ways. From the…read moremoment you step in the door the coaches and community not only welcome you but ensure you are comfortable within their beautiful clean space. All of the coaches are well versed in many different areas of lifting techniques, strength and conditioning, injury prevention and also working with previous or current injuries using a scientific approach. During my first month there deadlifts showed up and I was able to explain my previous back injury from previous deadlifts and how I was physically and mentally affected. Strength Ratio coaches were able to listen and understand. We broke the movement down to a simpler form which allowed me to still participate but also allow me to start healing from my fear. Through many cycles of progression of new movements and building strength I can now fully deadlift without pain or exercise. There are endless amounts of examples to share but the bottom line is if you are looking for a place to grow stronger and have an absolute great time around a circle of positive folks... this is your place!!

Best gym experience I've ever had. The coaches and the community are so supportive, knowledgeable,…read moreand motivating. Plus they make it so much fun! The best part for me is seeing results for my entire family - my husband and two teens love it as well. Even during the new Covid world we are now living in, our membership is as valuable as ever since they were already set up for online coaching. We have an app for workouts daily at home, weekly coach check ins, and hysterical weekly challenges, newsletters, zoom socials and more! If you are going crazy stuck at home, join the Strength Ratio community!!!

Small, clean gym with everything you need. The owner is helpful and nice- not a salesperson. I used…read moreto belong to Gold's gym but grew tired of the crowd. I never felt completely comfortable there. Since becoming a member at Oakley Fitness Center, I have learned proper lifting techniques and been given work out ideas to fit my goals (per my request.) The classes are small, and I don't feel judged which is quite refreshing. I have gone down a pants size since starting a few weeks ago, and I can feel my body getting stronger. I highly recommend trying boxing there! Best gym in Asheville as far as I am concerned.

I am a beginner to working out. On my first trip to the gym the owner John showed me around and…read moregave me some pointers on how to get started. Since joining I started going to the kickboxing class on Sunday's and enjoy the work out. The gym is very clean and has plenty to offer no matter what kind of workout you are looking for or what level you are at in your fitness journey.

I love the classes because they provide a social enjoyment while hitting all the balance, power, cardio and strength moves. And the owner/trainer is 66 so he understands my needs.

I can't say enough good things about Eric!! Eric is…read moreeverything you want in a personal trainer. He is patient and understanding and yet he also pushes you to work hard at every single work out. There are days when I doubt my strength and ability but he never does and always encourages me to keep going. When I first met Eric I was a total newbie to the gym and strength training. I could barely hold a 10 second plank much less lift any sort of heavy weight. Now I'm doing one minute planks and I'm doing 35 pound shoulder presses! My squats and deadlifts needed serious help and with Eric's help and guidance I can now deadlift 105 pounds. If you're looking for the best personal trainer in Asheville, look no further because Eric is without a doubt the guy you're looking for!

My personal trainer is Eric Simpson. I've been going to him for 18 months or so and find him to be…read moreknowledgeable and concerned with my goals. He provides instruction in the best technique to avoid injury and maximize gain. He's not new to this field as he obviously has been working out forever. He knows how to do it right and he knows how to guide and direct his clients with respect and concern to prevent injury. I really couldn't recommend him more. He's the guy for you.

I have met the owners and they are incredibly welcoming. I see them working out and engaging with customers building community all the time. That says a lot. The space itself has very appropriate staffed hours. I appreciate that about half the time I go there are staff available if I need anything. I feel like I see and engage with more staff here than I did at the YMCA. When it's not staffed hours, you can still utilize The gym. It never feels overly busy, but I do see people in here all the time and it's a very friendly crowd. Online booking is easy and I like that they have a small competition that goes along with how much you work out. You even when gift cards every three months for participating. Awesome. I love working out when there is heat involved and so the hot classes really win me over. you get to control the heat yourself and I like to keep it on 124. You can get toasty in there. If you don't want to work out with others, it is easy to book a space yourself. I love socializing, but working out alone is like therapy to me. There's one bathroom without a shower and one with. I've only ever waited once or twice. The space including but not limited to the bathroom is incredibly clean and well-maintained. Membership cost is incredibly affordable for what you get. Plus, there's a Starbucks next door.
