This is a great facility with great programs but more importantly the owners are people who truly care about you and your health and well being. They are extremely knowledgeable and will help and encourage you throughout your journey.
There is no such thing as a magic pill to take to instantly become fit. You have to work out more than once and eat a balanced diet for more than a day if you want to get into shape. At the Workhorse Gym you will get sound (and certified) nutritional advice, workout advice, instruction on how to properly and safely use resistance training to really up your fat burning game, and the best darn cheerleaders ever to help motivate you when you just aren't feeling it.
This is a no judgement zone and I feel perfectly comfortable pouring my lumpy, bumpy gut into spandex leggings and getting my sweat on during a cardio kickboxing class or strength training. My lumpy is going away, I'm seeing booty gains, and I can always count on Ron to see when I am about to throw in the towel and give me that last little push and voice of encouragement to make it those last 30 seconds or lift that one last heavy rep.

There's a unique beauty when it comes to the Workhorse Gym. When you walk into most gyms, the environment seems off, or even stale. All the stations can seem overwhelming and quite frankly to complicated to use at times. However at Workhorse, the environment and atmosphere is anything but stale. You can feel the intensity leangering around, but yet not intermediating in any sense. Everyone there is warm and supportive, and the number one rule is to respect everyone that walks through those doors. Ron has somthing incredible here, something that most gyms have lost. He himself is a remarkable trainer. He has never turned me down when I ask for help, and he's always offered me the knowledge that he's acquired over time. I have noticed tremendous results ever since I've started lifting at Workhorse. My body feels the best it has in my 20 years of life, and my strength has practically exploded. People from all walks of life would benefit from coming to this gym. Are you a powerlifter? He has all the weights you need. Body builder? Don't sweat it, all the equipment is there. Even if you're just someone who wants to feel better about themselves, Ron will see to it that you're given all the tools and knowledge needed to obtain your goals, just as long as you're willing to work for it!

I have known Ron for about 5 years now. When I first started strength training I was very unhealthy. Now I am healthier and stronger! I have better flexibility and balance. He is very helpful in telling me the foods I should eat. The great thing is that we are all regular people just trying to improve our health and strength. Give Workhorse Gym a try! Come as you are!!!
