Wolf Den Strong

Fantastic experience: Rob is an EXCELLENT coach, mentor, and consultant. In 2019, I started to work with Rob after a diagnosis of plantar fasciitis. Upon meeting Rob, he sat down with me and assessed my physical health. He then developed a training program for me that got me to be pain-free in my feet, achieve a 215+ lb deadlift, and overall higher core strength and stability, greater confidence, and mental fortitude. In addition, I informed him of my gastrointestinal issues. He asked me to provide him about a week's worth of the food that I was eating. After assessing my diet, he recommended that I eliminate certain foods, provided me with a diet plan, and even showed me a cookbook that I could use. After implementing his strategies, I felt relief for the first time in at least 10 years! A quiet gut; no pain, bloating, nothing. I then started cooking nutrient dense foods that helped my diet and my life. He has since expanded his services and developed a practice that covers multiple aspects of health beyond physical fitness and diet. Knowing Rob has expanded his health services me great joy. My experiences with doctors has not been good; most of them don't even look me in the eyes and are limited in their knowledge. Rob gives you the attention you need and thinks outside the box to help you become the better, more healthy, and pain-free version of yourself you always wanted to be. All you have to do to meet him is give him a call and have a conversation! I highly recommend you do that

Fantastic experience: I don't usually leave reviews but my mouth is still open in amazement! I've recently started care with Wolf Health and Performance and I have to say I'm blown away by the results. I've had an ongoing issue with my right arm for nearly a decade. I spoke to Rob who gave me some advice and worked with his team of medical professionals and within two WEEKS my problem is nearly completely solved. I still have some treatments to go to, however, my right arm has NEVER felt better. I mean it. I had doubts of this possibility happening. I was nearly in tears when I experienced phenomenal results because I began to accept that this was a problem I'd have for the rest of my life. If you want standard care, go somewhere else. If you want EXCELLENT care come to Wolf Health and Performance Group! Thanks Rob!

Fantastic experience: I lost 30 lbs. in 3 months safely and without extreme dieting. It no longer hurts to get out of bed, walk or bend over to pick up something or tie my shoes. Thank you Rob for all your encouragement and support. I plan to continue as long as I am able!

Fantastic experience: About 6 months ago I started looking for a new gym. I had recently had a baby and undergone major surgery from a car accident, so my years' long fitness routine had disappeared. I kept trying to get back to it but just couldn't stay committed. I was afraid to do anything strenuous because I didn't want to get hurt, and I was just so weak! I found the Wolf Den and decided to go in and meet Rob. I instantly felt that he make the difference for me, and I was right! Just a few months later and I'm a different person. I never miss a work out and feel amazing after each one...seriously! The atmosphere is encouraging and feels safe - every one is there to make themselves better. Rob is a wealth of knowledge and I've asked him all kinds of questions about health and nutrition. This place is the real deal and I'm so grateful that I found it.

Fantastic experience: Rob of Wolf Den has been a game changer for my personal and professional life. At 61 years old, I found my activity level, stamina and strength were suffering and this needed to improve or get worse. After a few months of one-on-one training with Rob, I joined the 1 hour group session 3X/wk. They’re always different training sessions and focus on function performance. They help us maintain our body’s fitness and ability to perform tasks that we have avoided due to weakness, fatigue and/or pain. Rob stays with the group. He keeps a close eye on all of us. This has not only been a huge part of my personal life but my relationship with my wife, Suzanne as well. I enjoy each training session with her, whom encouraged me to start exercising nearly 2 years ago. As a chiropractic physician for over 36 years, I feel stronger than ever and confident that I will be able to continue practicing for a VERY LONG TIME! Once you decide to get out of your own way and desire the body and activity level you once had when you were younger, I highly recommend visiting Wolf Den for Rob’s comprehensive structural evaluation. Rob, thank you for ALL you have done for me. Dr. Jack

Fantastic experience: I started with Rob at Wolf Den 2 1/2 years ago. I came in for personal training. I was 40 pounds heavier, a total stress ball and had been on the sofa forever. I never could have expected how this experience would change my life. The hardest part for me was reaching out and getting the help I needed. I have knee issues as well as lower back pain. Rob was so great at pushing me but not letting me get hurt. Training at Wolf Den has become a fixture in my schedule. I have become much healthier, physically and mentally. I would recommend to anyone to get to Wolf Den as fast as you can. You're wasting time!

Fantastic experience: In Rob there is a deep sense of commitment to humanity that is unparalleled. I have had the opportunity of working professionally and very closely with him years back, and although we are separated geographically, and him owing nothing to me, he has taken me on out of a deep concern for my declining health. He has done this voluntarily and selflessly with urgency despite his own challenges and existing commitments. This speaks volumes as to his character and life’s ambition to help anyone and everyone he can no matter what obstacles. What better a person to have in your corner than him ? His innate ability to impart otherwise difficult information in simple terms and with accuracy is bewildering. I am nearly 60 and have begun to make important strides on a path to better health which would not have been implemented without Rob’s intervention. Rob cared enough to write a letter to my physician outlining a strategy. My Doctor was so impressed that he was on board completely with Rob to the point of ordering additional tests urged by Rob. In fact, my physician made said “Wolf Den Strong” letter a permanent part of my medical file ! If you are a resident of Alachua, no matter your age or condition, Rob & the Wolf Den is thee place to be ! I envy all of you who are able to directly benefit from him at his incredible facility !

Fantastic experience: I’m 35 and in the best shape of my life. I look forward to every morning that I’m at Wolf Den because the program that Rob put together has pushed me enormously in many other areas of my life. It has become the source of my own personal success in strength, nutrition, well-being, mental health, and quality of life. I know that every time I step into the Den, every single exercise Rob put on the board that morning was methodical, thought-out, and part of a bigger strategy to keep us progressing to meet our goals. Being a member of Wolf Den is becoming a part of a family of people who share the same values; people who want to better themselves because they’re aware that strength is the foundation of everything. If you’re looking to lose weight, get strong, add quality years to your life, and become better in everything you do - Join Wolf Den, the best damn gym around.

Fantastic experience: I always enjoy my workouts at Wolf Den. I have had issues with flexibility and mobility and Coach Rob immediately helped me improve across these areas and more. Lots of options for classes to fit any schedule and all of the members make the experience even better!

Fantastic experience: It’s a great facility with great people and amazing instruction! I would highly recommend it for anyone that is truly wanting to improve their quality of life!

Fantastic experience: Where to start? Expert training, check. No, double check! Clean beyond your wildest dreams of a gym. Sincerely friendly and encouraging. Workouts meet you where you are and make you tougher than they are! The warm-up routines are something you'll do for the rest of your life. This is the place to turn your dreams of a healthier life into reality.

Fantastic experience: Wolf Den is about you , and you and you ; no matter your fitness level. When you walk through the doors all you see is hard work, your see determination, you see encouragement, you see hope - You See Brotherhood, Sisterhood, Humanhood (I know, it's not a word but you get the point). No one is beat down, left behind, excluded....it's incredible! My 17 year old and I look forward to MWF because working out at WD is "our thing". The strength and significant changes that have taken place in our minds and body is amazing. Coach Rob cares about the members which is something so hard to find in most businesses these days muchless in a gym environment. So, here is my piece of advice, dont commit to any other place in Alachua, or Alachua County for that matter, until you've given Wolf Den a real try.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Alachua COUNTY is more appropriate. I dropped 25 lbs in 12 months (the healthy way), while putting on muscle, and lowered BP, A1C, cholesterol, etc. But just as importantly, my mental toughness and fortitude has improved immeasurably. Consider Wolf Den if you want to make some serious improvements in your health, fitness, and overall quality of life.

Fantastic experience: This gym is like no other, I wouldn't have joined if it was. I like the class atmosphere where we all work together. You get a workout from head to toe, it's pushed me far past what I thought my body could do! I highly recommend this gym to anyone wanting to get in shape. Rob is an awesome instructor and coach!

Fantastic experience: Truly the best damn gym in Alachua with the best damn coaches who care about each and every member. Started about a year ago and have increased my strength in areas I never expected. I hurt my shoulder and instead of working thru the pain, these coaches created a specific program to help me heal to ensure no further injury occurred. Now my shoulder is better and I don't need surgery!! I love the work outs (except when it involves the stupid bike) because they're different every session, targeting very specific areas. These workouts push me....EVERY. SINGLE. WORKOUT! The Wolf Den Strong family is amazing. I love how we push and encourage each other. It's great to surround myself with good people while we do good things to our body and mind. Thanks to coach Christie (who is a StrongFirst Kettlebell Instructor) and coach Rob for pushing us and just being 2 amazing people who care about all of us. #bestdamngyminalachua #wolfdenstrongrules

Fantastic experience: Amazing place. Rob and Christie go above and beyond to take care of their members. Wolf Den is a very special place where anyone wanting to put in the work to make positive changes in their life is welcomed, supported and treated like family. You won't find a better gym.

Fantastic experience: Rob and Christie are simply amazing people that cater to all levels of fitness. There is a family feel at their facility unlike I've felt anywhere else. The knowledge that Rob has is incredible in terms of fitness, nutrition and medical issues. They have been a tremendous help to both me and my family. I would highly recommend them to anyone at any level.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, great coaching. I enjoy the workouts, as well as the community. The training is well-rounded, and individual needs are considered. I can recommend this gym to anyone who wants to be challenged and improve. Not the place to sit on an exercise bike and watch TV.

Fantastic experience: Rob is great. Very professional and knowledgeable. I have been going for a few months and am already stronger and down a size. The encouragement you get and constant challenges within yourself truly make it an experience. I started the Den just trying to get fit... Today i am still doing that but I have also changed into a better version of myself...one that believes in herself...

Fantastic experience: I was a little nervous starting at the wolfden because I wasn't sure how everyone would be or what it would be like but I knew the second I walked in it was a great place to be. I was so excited to begin and everyone was so welcoming and supportive. It's a fun atmosphere but also a place to use your focus and determination! Rob is extremely patient and has shown me the basics to begin and I am improving my skills with how to properly use the equipment. This has given me more confidence and strength. I feel different within myself and that's thanks to Wolfden :)

Fantastic experience: This is a great and safe place to learn the tools to better ones person fitness. The coach and the members are both knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and encouraging. It's the perfect place to better ones physical well-being, not for the short term, but for the long term. Would highly recommend this place to anyone who is serious in working on one physical well-being.

Fantastic experience: I'm approaching my 1 year there, and I'm mentally and physically more fit. Great people there, and a hell of a good time. You train here you will be a better version of you. Just sayin!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to WDSC now since the beginning of December. It is now April and to date I have lost about 35lbs. Our trainer there is amazing and makes every day fun and rewarding. His simple yet sophisticated approach to training and educating his members is what separates this gym from anything else I have ever tried. Do yourself a favor and come join us!

Fantastic experience: I am currently a member of another gym in South Florida but while in Gainesville visiting some friends and family, I was in search of a gym to drop in on. A good friend of mine had recently joined The Wolf Den. I first visited on a Saturday, which is kind of a light day and great for someone to get an introduction to what they do at The Wolf Den. The second day was on a Monday. The workout was intense but scalable to any fitness level. After the workout I sat down with Rob, the owner of the gym, and discussed overall fitness goals and what it takes to achieve them. I am amazed at the knowledge Rob possesses, and the results he gets from his athletes speak for themselves. They all genuinely enjoy the gym and work toward the same goals. I would highly recommend this gym for anyone wanting to get started on a fitness program and train under a watchful and knowledgable eye. I will be dropping in again very soon.

Fantastic experience: Whether your looking to improve as an athlete or just beginning your fitness journey, this gym can help. Rob is a very knowledgeable trainer with a huge emphasis on safety. All the members are very encouraging and make for a great team environment. I've been with Wolf Den since it opened and i still look forward to working out with everyone each day!

Fantastic experience: Been coming to the Wolf Den since opening day and my son joined last summer. We have both seen tremendous results. Coach Rob treats each member like family. He tailors workouts to individuals and goes way beyond what a typical personal trainer provides. Regardless of your goal, the Wolf Den is the place to come. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in improving their overall health.

Fantastic experience: More so than any other place I've ever been, this gym treats you as an individual. Helps to address your concerns and weaknesses and turn them into strengths. My lower back has given me problems for years. Not once has it hurt after a workout or since I joined. Cannot say enough about the team and family atmosphere found here. The only place to work out!

Fantastic experience: When looking at working out there are a lot of choices, but I can say this has been best decision I could have made for myself. This has become more then just a gym; it's a family. If your willing to listen and learn then you can do these workouts. I was nervous when I started, but now I know I can do amazing things when I just try. Come check out the Wolf Den!
