Could not speak more highly of this place!! Been taking private lessons with the owner, Josh. Am 34 years old and Lt in the USMCR, and have to train smart to be able to excel at my job. Josh has an unbelievable amount of wisdom, ranging from running and lifting advice, to general training plans, and just advice on mentality. Is truly amazing the knowledge and attitude Josh has cultivated. Such a resource and blessing!!

No matter who you are or what shape you are in, if you are looking to move your fitness needles a little closer to "awesome" then you owe it to yourself to check out Gymnasium. There are many places you can get your sweat on, but what makes Gymnasium different is that their approach is sustainable, never boring, and totally get results. There is no ego, everyone is friendly, and the work outs are a lot of fun. As we all know, reaching your fitness goals take consistency, so all of those things go a long way in keeping you motivated. This also wouldn't be a proper review about Gymnasium without mentioning the awesome and eclectic music that fuels all the work outs. For myself personally, I was looking for a training program to take my fitness to the next level. As a professional martial arts instructor and practitioner I can say that training at Gymnasium is the best decision I ever made. All the aches and pains I suffered from years of training are gone and all my training parters comment on how much stronger and more powerful I have become since I started training here. It has also had a huge impact on how I train my own students as my knowledge about fitness and body-mechanics grow with every class. In conclusion: Go, check it out, you won't regret it! Josh (the owner) is an all around great guy who walks his talk and has developed a great team of trainers who will be totally committed to helping you reach your goals.

I am such a big fan of Gymnasium. It is a really friendly and approachable atmosphere. I came to Gymnasium really strong in all the typical, run of the mill exercises. I wanted a place that would keep me progressing and help me get regular one hour workouts that worked my entire body (without me having to figure out on my own how to do that). I got much, much more than that at Gymnasium. I learned new skills, new ways of moving. I gained REAL strength and ability to move. What I mean by "REAL" is that I see this overall strength and ability to move in myself in my everyday life, in being able to do real life things outside the gym. I don't just see it in being able to test well on a particular exercise in the gym. The strength and ability to move I have acquired at Gymnasium is whole body, well rounded and multifaceted. I am continually challenged and mentally and physically engaged by the workouts at Gymnasium - even after several years there. There is a wide range of people who go here - running the gamut from the just beginning to work out people to the super in shape fitness heroes. And we all workout together. The workouts are appropriate for everyone to do at their own level and the staff and the people who workout here are super supportive of everyone, regardless of where they fall on the spectrum. I look forward to going to Gymnasium, even on days when I don't really feel like working out, because I know that a Gymnasium workout makes it all better. It is challenging but enjoyable during the workout and I leave feeling terrific and eager to return.

The Gymnasium teaches functional movement and fitness for those of us who want to move and function in the real world. There are no gimmicks to the training. The methods used have a long history of proven effectiveness. Josh, the owner and head instructor, is a great teacher of movement and fitness, as well as being a genuinely nice person. He has created a community at the Gymnasium that is very warm, welcoming, and helpful. Particularly for newcomers and for those who are not confident in their physical abilities. I've been involved in fitness since 1975 and I have a degree in Exercise Science, but when it comes to functional movement, my education began when I walked into the Gymnasium for the first time.
