I had never worked out in a gym before, so I was very intimidated. I wasn't able to do a single push up, pull up, deadlift, ANYTHING before...after a few weeks I started noticing a change...and now, 2 years later, I'm able to clap my push ups, I attempted my first muscle up, and each month that does by, all my lifts are getting stronger. It truly is one of the most accepting environments. I was once someone who gave up when things got tough...That mental push through during a work out, has stuck with me, and is so relatable to everyday struggles! As soon as you walk through that door for your first class, you are welcomed by cheerful hello's. Everyone is at a different level of fitness and everyone wants to see you succeed in whatever your goals may be! You just have to take that first step! I love this place, best way to start my day, with some of the most amazing coaches and fellow gym go-ers around!

The workouts can be modified to all skill levels, and it’s not intimidating at all. It’s an inclusive, supportive environment. I’ve made so many friends and learned so much. It’s a game changer to have so many people supporting you and cheering you on not only while in the gym, but with everything. The people I get to see every morning, the fun and challenging workouts that we get to do together, and that it’s the best start to my day are all things that make me happy about going to Apex. I’ve lost weight and gained so much muscle and strength. I learned to run longer and faster, including a half marathon. I’ve done three Spartan races, and countless other virtual and community based events. It takes the guess work out of exercise. You show up and you’re guaranteed to get the best, most effective workout. I’m now working out five times a week, making tons of progress in many areas, and have the support of so many people. While it can seem overwhelming, the best thing you can do for yourself is give it a chance because it’s a great experience. We all started somewhere, but you have to start!
