This. Gym. Is. Amazing.I never had trouble staying fit through high school, college, or even a few years after college. But once my workout partner moved, I slowly lost motivation and no longer had the accountability I needed to get to the gym at 6am every day.I tried other boutique-type gyms (cycling, barre, etc) and they just weren't for me. I like weights and I like switching it up from time to time. I honestly never thought I would be a "fitness class" kind of gal.But Katie, her group of instructors, and the members of this gym completely changed my mind! I've been going to ambition for almost 6 months now and find myself making 4-5 6am classes each week (at a gym 10 minutes farther from my house than my old one).Everyone at ambition is friendly, encouraging, uplifting and super helpful! The classes are designed to meet you where you are in your training journey, which I love!When I first started, I was OUT OF SHAPE. So the goal for me was to get through the class and take care of my sore muscles afterward. Now that I feel stronger, my goals have morphed and I work to increase my strength (the weight I lift) by the end of each month or increase my speed through the plyo classes.There truly is something for everyone here! Come join us :)

I never knew I could love working out so much until I started going to Ambition. The workouts are great and strength based. But what’s the best is the owner, Katie, and all of the coaches are so helpful and encouraging. The workouts are the same all month long so you can see how much you have improved, which is great! Great for all levels!

I have been working out for years and lifting consistently for the last few. "Boutique Fitness" centers are continuing to grow and pop up all over town. I have tried Orange Theory, F45 + others and enjoyed them all but something about Ambition felt like home. The studio is gorgeous, the trainers are certified personal trainers and the workouts are a combination of strength and HIIT (my personal favorites). Katie, the owner, is personable, kind and has incredible customer service. I have had several friends and family members join me for their free class and a few who have joined with me. Ambition is not only a training studio but a community of women encouraging and lifting up other women.I highly recommend trying Ambition, regardless of your fitness experience.

Hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to. I have never felt stronger than I have over the last couple months that I’ve been coming to ambition!! And to top it off all the instructors are amazing! They help you have perfect form on all of your moves and are so friendly. Such a welcoming and amazing place for women!!

I recently moved to Louisville and am so pumped (pun intended 😏) I found Ambition. Before I ever tried a class, I called in and Katie explained everything, and was so welcoming and attentive. For the first time in a long time, I’ve found a gym that pushes me and that I genuinely enjoy. The trainers and classes here make me feel strong and powerful and comfortable to learn and grow in a weight room full of women eager to do the same. Can’t recommend enough!

This gym is absolutely amazing. The instructors are so friendly, and the owner, Katie, is the sweetest. She really knows her stuff and is super personable! After just a few months of being a member at Ambition, I have seen great results. Not only am I stronger, but I am also more confident and EXCITED to go to the gym. Highly recommend!!!

Ambition Fitness has made me feel stronger and more physically capable in all areas of my life -- especially during running, hiking, and practicing yoga. Katie and the staff are wonderful at providing a supportive, women-only environment. These circuit-style classes were new to me, and the trainers helped with adjustments if I was hurting or new to a specific move. I highly recommend Ambition if you are looking for satisfying, high-energy workouts that build your strength. As a bonus, you are supporting a Louisville-based small business owner!

Amazing and Beautiful gym! I joined back in January and it had been about 6-7 years since I had been in a gym or worked out! I was so intimidated but when I had my first class, they made me feel so welcomed and comfortable doing the workouts. It is such a great atmosphere to be in. Katie, the owner, has an amazing heart and personality. The trainers here are so loving and really care about making sure you are doing each workout with correct form. I love that this gym is made for women and the workout program is made by women! They have BOMB music every time I attend a workout class which just gives my workout that extra kick it needs 😝 I wanted to brag too, on how Ambition, during this pandemic, has continue to supply workouts for their members, at home! Katie and her team made it possible to still deliver their amazing workouts weekly for me to continue my health journey while being quarantined. I can’t say enough about this place, it is worth every penny! I recommend this to every woman out there !!!

Growing up I was always playing sports so staying I shape was never something that I had to worry about until I graduated high school. I had just recently moved back to Louisville and I was struggling to get back to a point where I could say that I was honestly happy where I was in my life. This gym has changed my life for the better in so many ways! I never thought that I would actually look forward to going to the gym, let alone at 6 AM every day. This gym has given me accountability, friends, and confidence that I will never be able to repay them for.

If you are looking to increase your strength and build muscle in a supportive, all female environment, then Ambition Fitness is for you. The workouts are always challenging and the instructors are encouraging and great with providing form tips to prevent injury. I've been a member since April and I'm amazed at how much stronger I am than I was 7 months ago. It's a great group of women who are super encouraging to workout with, and the owner, Katie, is a great motivator and truly interested in helping her clients meet their goals.
