I love Fitsport because it offers something for everyone! My kids enjoy cross training and specialized classes, and I appreciate the variety of classes available for adults. From self defense to strength training, there’s always a class or gym time that fits my schedule. The equipment is great, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend Fitsport!

I came from a full contact sport and 10 years of crossfit. I usually take classes here. I like it because the trainers are very knowledgeable and understand that people have different levels of ability. You get pushed just enough where you will feel it but not be expected to go beyond your limit. Lovely group!

I’m a big fan of FitSports in general, & personal trainer Lars Puckler in particular. I’ve never been much of an exercise guy (although I was a competitive tennis player until my elbow said otherwise) but Lars makes it both extremely challenging & (every once in awhile) actually fun. I now look forward to my training sessions, which is something I never thought I’d say. Great gym; great trainer; great community.
