 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent gym. The equipment is new, safe, and clean. Quality folks. Occasionally busy, but never crowded. Trainer Bev Has helped me work through some old injuries and issues and I am stronger now in my 40s than I was in my 30s. Acceptable level of AC/DC in playlist rotation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been to several gyms in the area and can stay with confidence this gym offers the best atmosphere, the equipment is all new and everything is clean. There’s a wide variety of machines, free weights and attachments for different cable machines. It’s a small space, but I’ve never felt crowded while working out. Super excited about the planned expansion as well.

I can't recommend Kent highly enough. He's been an incredible trainer for us, and what sets him apart is his genuine flexibility—he truly works around our schedule, which removes so much stress.

Kent makes every session enjoyable with his great sense of humor, but never loses focus on what's important: safety. Having both been a bit too "kind" to our bodies in the past, we really appreciate how vigilant he is about form and technique to prevent injury.

Most importantly, he has a perfect sense of balance. He knows exactly how to push us to see real progress, but never crosses the line into anything that feels unsafe or counterproductive. We feel challenged, supported, and healthier after every session.

If you're looking for a knowledgeable and conscientious trainer who tailors his approach to you, Kent is your person.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After years of fitness classes, weight training on my own, and always ending up burnt out or injured, working with Kent Gresham has been the best thing for my fitness. As my fitness goals have shifted over the two years I've trained with him (from regaining basic strength to trying running again after 15 years away), he's always kept it interesting, and helped me learn more about the mechanics of my body. As someone with hypermobility, and a lanky body type, traditional weight-lifting doesn't always make sense for me. I can count on Kent to help me "troubleshoot" mystery pain, to always have another option if my body won't let us do what we planned, and frankly to keep me gaining strength in a sustainable way, without putting me at risk. His deep and wide-ranging knowledge not only of strength and mobility training, but also body mechanics and mind-body connection means I've gotten stronger, yes, but also have a much better understanding of how to safely exercise outside of our sessions. After years of being afraid I'd put my back out if I sneezed too hard, or pop a shoulder on a push-up, I can trust my body to move in ways I'd assumed, or been told, it would never again manage. I truly cannot recommend Kent highly enough.
