Great gym. Stayed at SpringHill close by which has a terrible gym, so needed a proper gym. Justin was so accommodating. Have everything you need to get a great workout in while traveling!

I love this gym! It's smaller and more intimate than other gyms and yet has all the equipment you need for a great workout.

First Class Fitness Gym is an outstanding place to work out! The space is always spotless, from the gym floor to the well-kept changing areas, which makes every visit a great experience. I love having access to all the bands, kettlebells, and top-notch equipment—it makes my workouts so much more effective and enjoyable. I’ve known and trained under Justin for years, and he is truly one of the best. He’s always helpful, welcoming, and genuinely invested in seeing everyone succeed. All of the trainers here are friendly and knowledgeable, creating a supportive and motivating environment. If you’re looking for a clean, well-equipped, and encouraging gym, First Class Fitness is the place to be!

I have been training with Justin for several years now, and I can confidently say that he is in a league of his own when it comes to personal training. His depth of knowledge, years of experience, and unwavering passion for what he does set him apart from anyone else in the industry. Justin goes far beyond just creating workouts — he invests fully in your success, tailoring every session to meet your personal goals while pushing you to exceed what you thought was possible. His commitment, attention to detail, and genuine care for his clients are truly unmatched. Every time I step into his gym, I feel challenged, motivated, and supported. If you are serious about transforming your fitness, your mindset, and your overall well-being, I cannot recommend Justin and his gym highly enough. It has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made in myself.
