The FIT truly is like Family. The owner, Jared, and each of his staff members acknowledge you by name each and every time you walk through the door. They are knowledgeable, encouraging, VERY patient and NEVER judgmental. Small group training sessions always change so you'll never be bored. The FIT is for all fitness levels, exercises can be modified to your level ensuring everyone has a great workout. You may think they do not notice but Jared and his staff are always watching and any one of them will come over and make corrections if needed and tell you what a great job you are doing.
Attitude starts at the top. This is so true at the FIT, starting with Jared and continuing with his staff and even members of the FIT.
Awesome place to be, give it a try. You will LOVE it!

"I’ve been going to The FIT for almost 8 years now and I love it. I’ve had three children and through all my pregnancies I continued to workout at The FIT. They kept me in shape during pregnancy and got me back into shape after all of them. I’ve continued to grow and learn, even after all these years, I still am always learning something new and being challenged in different ways! By far the best gym I’ve ever been apart of and I will forever be apart of The FIT Family!"

"Engaging, skilled trainers are a huge asset. Constantly changing workouts in small groups that challenge my abilities. I have seen huge changes in my balance, strength and muscle tone. I have been a member of The FIT for several years and could not envision ever moving to a different workout format. It doesn’t hurt that the membership is all very friendly and makes the work out environment fun."

"The FIT has literally changed my life. I have tried every other gym type and nothing stuck, I would quickly lose motivation and the gym became an after thought. When I joined The FIT I knew almost immediately that I found the one. It truly is like a big family, everyone was so welcoming and I felt that everyone was rooting for me to succeed. I have been with The FIT for just over 18 months and I am seeing results like never before. I have more energy and my overall health has drastically improved. I have to warn you however, be prepared to buy a new wardrobe, my clothes are literally falling off.
I can’t say enough good things about The FIT, my only regret is not finding this place sooner.
Thank you to all the The FIT Trainers & clients....I couldn’t ask for a better group of people!"

I have been a member of the FIT for almost 9 years. It’s not only a gym, it’s a community. I have gained lasting friendships here! Jared is very knowledgeable and carefully curates the workouts to optimize strength and metabolic flexibility. The FIT trainers are amazing at what they do. Highly recommend!

"What a wonderful gym! My 2 daughters who play/played Division 1 volleyball talked me into starting several months ago. They have been going for quite a few years now, they love it and it has kept them in great condition to play the sport that they love. I was very intimated at first and didn't know if I could do it, but I felt welcomed right away and all of the trainers were very willing to work with me at the level that I was at. I feel that I have improved, but I still have a long way to go, but I know that they will get me there, I learn new things every week! I have lost 10 pounds and feel in better shape than I have been in decades! Try The FIT, you won't regret it!"

"I have worked out with Jared since 2003, when he was a trainer at the YMCA. I followed him wherever he landed, because no other trainer was quite the same. Jared finally opened his own gym and The FIT has continued to challenge me for 18 years! The trainers are educated, receptive, and in tune with each and every client and their needs, and remain dedicated to making sure you get the best workout and results you can achieve. In addition, it is like a family, and everyone is welcome. No judging, no harsh competition; just acceptance and respect!"

Kerry Hill
I joined The FIT 8 years ago after a friend's recommendation. I needed guidance and encouragement so that I wouldn't get hurt or give up. The work-outs were so awesome that I was hooked! The trainers have a different workout every day so it's never boring; plus the workouts work for any fitness level. They are so accommodating and have the knowledge and experience of what is best. The FIT helped me get into shape 8 years ago, prepared me for my battle with breast cancer, and now is helping me get back to where I was prior to cancer. I can't imagine my life without The FIT..it's a gym filled with so much more than exercise equipment! Try it out and see for yourself!
