What Makes Contemporary Athlete Different

Your Goals Shape Everything We Do

  • Personalized, not cookie-cutter. Every session is programmed to your goals, training age, and today’s readiness.
  • Pain-smart by design. We modify around arthritis, old injuries, and post-op restrictions—so you get stronger safely.
  • Small groups, big coaching. Semi-private personal training sessions (max. six members) offer hands-on coaching at a fraction of the cost of one-on-one personal training sessions.
  • Measured progress. Our proprietary M.A.P.S. system combines cutting-edge technology with world-class hands-on coaching, enabling us to track your progress and make real-time adjustments.

How It Works

  • 1) Discovery Call (5–10 min) We want to learn about your goals, history, and schedule, and answer questions.
  • 2) Come in to make sure it’s the right fit. Get a tour, dive deeper into your goals, and set your initial MAPS meeting.
  • 3) MAPS Assessment: Movement, body comp, and goal alignment to build your personalized training plan.
  • 4) Get started with your first 12-week program, all sessions coached in our semi-private format (max six members), and adjusted to you every workout.

Is This for Me?

Our Expertise Helps You Find Balance in a Busy Life

Suppose you are over 35 and seek strength, energy, and confidence without the risk of re-injury. Whether you’re restarting after a long break—or surgery—or you’ve bounced between classes and online plans without sticking to them, this is where you finally find your groove. Instead of just handing you access to equipment, we provide authentic coaching that adapts as you progress. So if you want real guidance, lasting habits, and steady momentum, you’re in the right place.

Members First Always

First try with a gym in many years right after I retired and could not be happier with all they have done to make me feel stronger every day. Everyone here is great and they make sure all you are doing, every session, is the correct way.
