We are a true original. And we can honestly say when it comes to personal training in Western NC, we do it better than anyone. Founder and trainer Rob Goodwin brought the multi-trainer, one on one personal training experience to the Hickory area way back in early 90's. We are proud of our reputation of being the most respected personal training entity in the area. We currently have 5 trainers conducting over 200 workouts a week with nearly 100 unique clients. Our team has a combined 50+ years experience helping others achieve their best, and now we hope to add you to our family.
Our gym design is minimal on purpose. We believe in what works. We don't need tons of fancy machines like the big box membership gyms. The most fit bodies are best built with barbells, dumbbells, kettle bells, and strict body-weight movements. This is a gym where business gets done. We offer challenging workouts born from intelligent design. We don't believe in competing in the gym with others to a one-size-fits-all workout or random exercises thrown at a whiteboard. We believe in serious training in the gym in order to compete outside of it. Whatever challenge you face in life. We can deliver it. No drama, no egos, and no BS. Our client retention rate is dramatically higher than the national average. Our clients are family, and believe in what we do. If you want true custom programming, and a fierce dedication to your goals from a extremely qualified group of trainers and coaches, then you're on the right website. There's a reason why so many trust in us and what we do. A great number of valued clients from all walks of life have placed their faith is us. We welcome you too.
