I’ve been a member of fitness appeal almost 5 years and I am probably in the best shape since I left the military, thanks to fitness appeal. Great class and Vic is an amazing instructor. I’m steadily improving everyday with the help of Fitness Appeal.

I love that Fitness Appeal has the OCR obstacles. The community is super supportive and I’ve love the Saturday OCR class with Marc. I’ve learned so much and his workouts are second to none. I travel 40 min one way just for that class and it’s worth every minute! Training has never been so fun!

I can't speak for the classes, but I attended a Spartan Deka Strong here yesterday. From my experience with obstacle courses, this gym has EVERYTHING an athlete would need to use for the races. Wished I found it earlier, so I wouldn't have taken forever to learn to master the obstacles.They also have some benches and kettlebells for their classes. As for the gym itself, it's one floor and the business' sign is tucked away. How I found it was to go across a small bridge and through a tunnel, then on your right you should see the sign near a dumpster. Presumably, you can park anywhere in that lot even though it's shared with lofts. If you also see a boxing gym sign, it's the same building, just the opposite entrance. Even though inside, they also have boxing equipment.

This gym is about dedication to health and commitment to yourself, and after experiencing this, I can never go back to a normal gym now.Whether you want to train to be a professional boxer, prepare to run a marathon, compete in Spartan deka races, or step up your average gym routine, this is the place for you. The killer kettlebell classes, obstacle course training, and Spartan deka courses are in the evenings at 6pm and 7pm, M-Thurs, so it’s perfect for those who like to get off work and go to the gym at night. There are also classes on Saturday mornings. Take one class or stay for the second class too! The unlimited membership is reasonably priced for the individualized attention you get from the coaches, who work hard to ensure you’re meeting your fitness goals. It’s an intense workout, but it’s “go at your own pace” and the coaches customize and tailor each class, so it never gets boring. My favorite part about this gym is the heart rate monitor that most folks wear during class which projects your stats onto a big screen so that everyone can challenge each other and feed off each others energy. You will make life long friends here. When you call, you want to talk to Coach Vic. He’s the gym’s secret sauce. Make sure to take his classes! He is charismatic, encouraging, inspiring, motivating, and he will push you to your limit, because he believes in self-improvement and that everyone can meet their fitness goals if they commit.“The classes will never get easier, but you will get stronger” - Fitness Appeal

I’ve been a member for about two months now. I love love love the bootcamp classes offered here. I’ve seen such an improvement with my stamina and burn so many calories in just one class! I highly recommend Fitness Appeal if you want to build up your stamina, core and get into shape. Every week I come back feeling a little bit stronger and faster.

Love coming to Fitness Appeal! I was a member a while ago, life happened, and now I’m so happy to be back. All classes are awesome and the environment is refreshing. Vic always has great vibes coming into class and teaching everyone the importance of not only fitness, but achieving personal goals, wellness, help gain confidence, and taking care of your mind and body. Vic creates all kinds of fun challenges that you will not experience anywhere else and he will motivate you to get out of your comfort zone. You are guaranteed to see results all around! Fitness Appeal is very welcoming and everyone who joins is automatically treated like family. The trainers push us to our limits and they always believe that we are capable of doing better! Love coming to this gym, love the energy, and I highly recommend people of all fitness levels to come join.
