STRIVE Fitness and Performance

At a time when many people were feeling defeated, frustrated and stressed out; I felt supported, energized, and motivated thanks to Derek and his team at STRIVE Fitness and Performance! Despite gyms shutting down, Derek and his crew geared up their on-line presence and know just what support to provide at the right times to keep you moving and motivated. I could not be happier to be part of this community of support, encouragement, and family-like relationships.

Strive offers a unique gym experience . The training is excellent, the class availability is great, and there is also nutrition counseling to help you reach your goals. The Strive community is welcoming and supportive, and it motivates you to want to keep coming back.Joining Strive has been very worth my time and money , and is a great investment in my health!

Great place! Can’t say enough about Strive and Derek. Love, love, love working out here. The formats change every day and, while challenging, Derek is very encouraging to help you make it through. He also modifies any exercise you may not be able to do due to an injury. Everyone is very friendly and supportive of their fellow members. Very happy I joined Strive.

Ever since my successful double knee R & R in 2014 I've visited plenty of facilities boxes & gyms.Of the mere dozen Id try a free drop in or a 101.Some were great some were so-so and some were beast mode extreme.So I found strive without trying2 friends had FB check-ins, at a place I'd never heard of how could that be.( well it was previously located in a non- descript concrete building on Utica rd.)So I reached out to Derek via the Strive websiteHe answered my multiple questions with genuine sincerity plus he promised reasonable modifications for myKneesAnd torn rotator cuff.But he was in the midst of a move from Sterling Hts to Clinton Twp.Long story short we eventually hooked up after numerous texts and phone calls and had a meet and greet.He was everything I had hoped for in a coach and a leader.The new 4000 square foot facility seemed very practical and worthy of my time and money.So I signed up!That was 11 days ago now with 7 classes under my belt I can honestly sayI've been pushedI've been challengedI've been motivated by Derek Cameron & others in class to push past my "wuss limitations" & strive forMore.My practical day to day movements have improved as I've become more flexible.I've worked harder at a higher level in 45 minutes than ever before at the Purple gym.In closingIf I can learn the routines and 38 different daily workouts so far and complete them then so can you.I'm 59 years old305 poundsDouble Total Knee replacement3 tears in my rotator cuff.I've ran out of excuses time for results.

Strive is an amazing place. It is much more than a gym. The workouts are challenging and never boring or the same. The trainers are not only motivating, but also able to modify any move to one’s ability or to accommodate an injury. The truly unique thing that sets this place apart? We ALL strive to see our friends succeed and we lift each other up to rise to our potential!!

If you’re looking for a gym that provides great workouts that work every part of your body without a bunch of fancy equipment, then Strive is the place for you. You won’t get bored at Strive because every day is a new workout routine. Cam and Derek have worked with me to modify exercises to protect my previous injured knee and ankle joints without having to sacrifice still getting a challenging workout. It’s fun to workout with a great group of fellow gym members who cheer you on to be successful...no matter your fitness level. No judgement here...everyone is pulling for everyone else. Strive is for REAL people wanting a REAL workout ....no people just showing up for a fashion show! These workouts are the real deal.
