Get to Know the Owner

A Word from the Owner
At First Class Fitness, we set out to be more than just a gym—we’re a community built on connection, results, and an experience you can actually look forward to. I’ve been in the fitness industry for over 20 years, and I’ve learned that what keeps people coming back isn’t just equipment or classes—it’s feeling seen, supported, and valued.
As the owner, I’m hands-on every day. Whether I’m training clients, checking in with members, or just making sure everything’s running smoothly, I’m right here with you. We keep things personal—first names, real conversations, and a team that genuinely cares.
This should be a place where you feel motivated, not pressured; where you feel welcomed, not just another number. That’s why we offer flexible, no-commitment memberships and prioritize creating a space where everyone feels at home.
So if you’re looking for a gym where you’re more than just a membership number, come see what makes First Class Fitness different. We’d love to have you.
