A welcoming place where you feel like family. Strength and conditioning in a comfortable environment where the coaches go out of their way to invest their time into making sure you are doing things correctly and getting the most out of your experience, no matter your fitness level. I've learned so much, gained confidence in myself, and met some amazing people.

A fantastic gym. The most comprehensively knowledgeable coaches I've encountered since college athletics. Open gym hours are a huge perk as well. This gym is a place I'm happy to escape to.

I have been going to Rx Strength for a year. The coaching provided teaches you proper form, to make sure that not only do you not injure yourself, but that you are able to continue to improve and exceed what you thought you were capable of.

Jeff and his staff have been training me for years now and never fail at delivering a challenging workout. I highly recommend their training services for anyone looking for a positive workout environment with knowledgeable and engaging staff.

Hallelujah!!!! RX Strength Training was my miracle workout for preparation not only for national pageants, but for a lifestyle in good health and overall fitness. Jeff is EXTREMELY knowledgeable when it comes to training, but his nutrition guidance really opened my eyes to things about food I never knew. I would highly recommend RX to anyone interested in a healthier lifestyle, achieving a fitness goal, or preparing for competition. I know I would not have gotten as far as I did without their help!

I have trained with Jeff for 7 years, and I cannot recommend him enough. Jeff is very enthusiastic, and brings a passion to training that makes it very enjoyable as well as fruitful. Jeff expertly tailors a program to what you are looking to accomplish, and always keeps up with the latest training innovations. I don't think I have ever seen someone enjoy their job as much as Jeff, and that is reflected in training sessions. He pushes you to achieve, and does so in a very positive manner.

Jeff Butterworth and his whole crew at Rx Strength Training are pretty extraordinary. A positive, welcoming environment helped my son transform himself from an athletic kid to a power-house athlete who just earned MVP status for points earned on his track team with a constant and steady rise of PRs! Jeff has also welcomed the whole family and over the last year, helped everyone in the family (from 10yrs up to 47) prepare for our first Spartan race. Jeff's knowledge is impressively extensive, but it is his personal investment in the growth of the athlete, whatever his/her ability or goals, that is so transformative. Working with Jeff has been, quite literally, life-giving and...fun! Thanks, Rx!

I always worked out at traditional "weights and cardio" type gyms. I come to the RX Strength gym to much less equipment so I didn't know what to expect. The value is in the staff and what they can teach you. I have learned about bare-bones movements that are better than most machines. I have healed my body through mobility. Thanks to the coaches - Hannah, Jeff and Anthony for your investment in me - they go way beyond your typical "personal trainer".

Rx Strength Training has upped my fitness considerably! Every coach is dedicated to their athletes - helping you reach PRs but making sure proper form is used and no injuries are sustained. Not only is each class unique and inventive, the atmosphere is unlike any I've ever experienced. Every athlete cheers everyone else on, and the amount of PRs that happen because of that.... well it's inspiring. If you like seeing results, try out Rx Strength Training - you won't be disappointed!

If you like to lift this is the gym for you.I did personal training for years and the coaches at the gym provide programming that works just as well at a fraction of the cost. My form improved dramatically when I started lifting with others.It is truly a special group of people. In a few short weeks I felt like I was part of a team. I never thought I'd be training competitively at 48 but the spirit is infectious. Give the gym a try. You won't be sorry.
