I joined The Sweatshop about two weeks ago. The people are so friendly and welcoming. All of the trainers there are helpful in encouraging all to make goals and achieve them! Doing it while making it fun! Thank you!!

I feel welcome here and love that they take the guesswork out of working out. I just show up and trust that they have planned a comprehensive workout to help me meet my fitness goals. I also feel comfortable while I'm there because I feel supported instead of judged.

UPDATE: I’ve been going for over a month, 3 or more times a week, and I’ve definitely lost inches already! I LOVE this gym! I used to do crossfit, but as I’ve gotten older, that intense style of workout isn’t the right fit for me anymore. I needed to find a gym with a great community, and fun and engaging workouts that I can scale up and down as I improve. I wanted to find something sustainable. Sweatshop is the perfect choice! The summer competition is so much fun, and I’m looking forward to the nutrition challenge in the Fall. Thanks for creating such a great, fun place!! If you’re reading this and wondering, you should join!!

just completed my 6th workout and had my one-on-one with Matt. I thought I was just signing up for two or three group dance/workout classes each week. After meeting with Matt I realize it is so much more. Matt is very thorough, he asked me what my long-term goals were and why I was doing this. He really emphasized meeting me where I am and doing what is right for me. He didn't just ask questions, his knowledge about nutrition, health and exercise nutrition, we're very instrumental in helping me create a plan that will work for me. also, the energy that Matt brings to the group classes is contagious. Looking forward to meeting my goals at Sweatshop!

Me and my wife have just started and everyone at the Sweatshop has been welcoming and very supportive. We just got off of a call with Matt and the guidance and help with how to change your mindset and nutrition to be able to stick with it and achieve your long term goals is great and exactly what we need. The personal attention in addition to great, exciting workouts makes this a great gym to join. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a gym.

Very friendly place. Inclusive, accommodating and really tries to do what’s good for the individual rather than push a generic agenda. Definitely check it out.

I joined the Sweatshop because it is an unintimidating environment catering to people of all fitness levels and ages. The Sculpt 45 Training gives me the oversight of a personal trainer while participating in small groups. The Sweatshop provides a friendly environment where you can make new friends.

I’ve had the greatest experience so far. The trainers are friendly and very helpful and accommodating. I love that I can get there and it’s like they have customized the trainings to help me keep moving or truly challenge me. I like the communication. Thank you Matt and all trainers for your support.
