There are few gyms in my life where I've thought, "this place is special" and Prism Fit is one of those. Ashley makes people feel like they belong from the moment they walk in, and the same goes for the members. It's a gym that welcomes you open arms and encourages you to be your best self. Quirks and all.

PrismFit is simply phenomenal. Acceptance and respect are foundational to the unique environment fostered here. I’ve been a member of many gyms but none as encouraging as this one. I love the sense of community and non-bro culture. It’s great if you're interested in working out and making progress toward any personal goals without judgement. The classes are designed to be challenging but achievable. Ashley, the owner, demonstrates each movement and readily answers questions about the moves and format of each class. Modifications are always provided for all ability levels. Additionally, Ashley always pays close attention to your form during workouts and offers valuable feedback. The facility itself is beautiful with everything you could want in a gym.Lastly, there is often an adorable pup on the premises who is extremely loving so you can always get some sweet pup cuddles/pets in before or after a good workout.

Prism Fit is one of the best gyms I’ve had the privilege of being a member of. Owner/head-coach Ashley works tirelessly to create a safe and inclusive space. As a coach, she’s a stickler for proper weightlifting form and an effective motivator, as well as being exceedingly accommodating and empathetic to all of her clients’ individual concerns and needs—knowing how to craft workouts that are guaranteed to make you sore (the good kind of sore) the next day. During this pandemic quarantine, she has adeptly shifted to an online format, providing effective at-home workout plans and video-conferencing classes. If you’re looking to join a gym with a strong sense of community and camaraderie, an awesome coach, and a judgement-free and safe workout environment, I highly recommend Prism Fit.

I love Prism Fit so much. The community is phenomenal (I didn't love weightlifting at first but I became a member because every single person I've met here is so kind, welcoming and encouraging) and the physical space is really clean and nice. Before I started, I was super intimidated by CrossFit but the owner, Ashley, is truly one of the most incredible coaches I've worked with. She really pays attention to your form and she's really patient and helpful with me even though I'm constantly asking questions. But what's really remarkable about Prism Fit is how Ashley has handled the transition to quarantine. She's creating so much content for members and is providing such a welcome and needed community during this time. She's created a workout for every day and then leads three classes a day. She also is offering yoga and kids classes. I'm connected to a number of gyms and studios across a variety of disciplines (namely yoga, aerial and dance) and no one is anywhere close to providing the amount of content she's providing and the level of community she's been able to cultivate during this time is unprecedented.

To me, Prism Fit is not a gym. It is a supportive community of people with their own unique goals of fitness, movement, and strength building. I’ve done almost every type of workout imaginable and been to many gyms. None of which met me where I was at and provided me with the support I needed. Ashley’s also the first trainer to ever even ask me what my goals are so she can monitor, track, and provide me with the coaching I need to reach my goals. You can feel how completely and genuinely invested in every member of her community she is. Prism Fit is a place for fun, hard work, fitness, and community. It’s the only “gym” that I’ll ever go to again.

Prism Fit is a magical unicorn of a gym. I've been doing CrossFit for years and have never had a coach like the owner, Ashley. She listens and learns about my injuries and limitations and modifies whatever is needed to ensure that each of us get a challenging and yet safe workout.The space is welcoming and enjoyable. The community and camaraderie are unmatched. And the coach is knowledgable, caring and skilled. Hands down the best gym experience you could ever hope for.
