FUEL Strength and Wellness Studio

Fantastic experience: Jeff Brockes, the owner of FUEL Strength and Wellness Studio, is the best, most knowledgeable, motivating, fun, and down to earth trainer I have ever worked with in my 66 years, and his focus is on injury rehab, which is why he gets so many referrals from orthopedists, so I highly recommend his small but mighty training facility, FUEL, tucked behind the Fur Center on Clayton Rd., he knows what he's doing, and he's ripped to prove it!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful

Fantastic experience: I started at FUEL 3 months ago having been referred by my physical therapist after a year recovering from a massively broken leg. I have NEVER considered myself a "gym person," and the first several sessions felt waaaaaaay outside of my comfort zone. BUT... after 3 months, I can now honestly say I am totally sold. It's fast paced, to be sure, so not a lot of time for chit chat or socializing (2 of my favorite things), but the expertise, kindness, patience, encouragement, and attention to detail from all of the coaches is incredible. A special THANK YOU to my coach Natalie - you are the best!!

Fantastic experience: So thankful that I was introduced to FUEL and Jeff & company! Not a person who has ever felt comfortable with working out. FUEL has changed all that. Appreciate the supportive atmosphere — both encouragement to move forward but no shame in where I started or what I can do at this moment.

Fantastic experience: Fuel has made such a positive impact for me over the past year— not only the physical changes which are noticeable, but mentally as well. I’m getting stronger, and feel confident that the Fuel team knows what they’re doing. Gretchen and Jeff create great custom programs and my trainer Natalie is knowledgeable and guides me through every workout. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Natalie is perfect for me! Thank you Jeff!!

Fantastic experience: I came to FUEL in search of a strength training coach that could work around injuries. I started my journey with Jeff and the team about a year ago when a knee injury left me unsure of how to proceed in the gym. I met with Jeff and we talked through my history of injuries and current limitations. I have never had such a thorough initial consultation with any previous trainer. Jeff is extremely knowledgeable and always able to put together a plan that is challenging but takes into consideration prior injuries. I would highly recommend FUEL to anyone looking to improve their overall health.

Fantastic experience: Jeff and his team are topnotch. My training programs are designed just for me and my goals. I've been able to enjoy FUEL since the day they opened and looking forward to many more years to come.

Fantastic experience: Kevin has such a great talent as a fitness coach! The space is chock full of equipment and the trainers, especially Kevin, can’t be beat!

Fantastic experience: Jeff, Gretchen and Marty (and Lucy!) are amazing! They truly have your best interest at heart. All my workouts are designed specifically for me and it is evident that the workouts are working. As a life long exerciser, I never felt the need to work with a trainer, but FUEL is a game changer. Their approach is holistic, they are super supportive and their knowledge on all things health go way beyond workouts - they are personal trainers on every level. THANK YOU, FUEL!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a knowledgeable and committed partner in your health and fitness journey, there is no place better than Fuel. I had been lifting weights and exercising consistently for 20+ years when I met Jeff and my trainer, Perry. At the time, I had suffered an elbow injury that had kept me out of the gym for over 8 months. I had gained weight, lost motivation, and was looking to get back into shape. But, I was nervous about re-injuring my elbow. Jeff took the time to sit down and talk with me about my concerns and goals, and analyzed my overall fitness to identify the functional weaknesses and limitations that I needed to address to avoid further injury. He then developed a highly personalized program that made sure not to put undue stress on my injured elbow while at the same time building up the rest of my body to ensure that the same injury doesn’t happen again. He also set me up with an anti-inflammation diet, and I lost 30 pounds in 10 weeks. At 37 years old, I can honestly say that I’m in the best shape of my life. I thought I knew a lot about weight lifting and nutrition, but Jeff and Perry have taught me more than I ever thought was possible. Whether you are just starting out or are far along in your fitness journey, Fuel is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with other trainers and fitness clubs in the past and never achieved my goals. With the help of Jeff, I have completely changed my body composition and continue to work towards higher levels of fitness. Jeff takes a completely different approach to strength training and body health. Jeff not only focuses on body transforming workouts but helps you understand nutrition and a healthy lifestyle outside of the gym. If you want to get serious about your health and workout in a friendly and encouraging environment, look no further.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at Fuel with Perry since December 2017. I had been working out on my own at a chain gym for several years, but had reached a plateau and needed a trainer to push me to another level. I have found that at Fuel and have enjoyed getting to know the trainers and many other clients since joining.

Fantastic experience: Fuel is much more than a gym. It is a customized health and wellness experience! Jeff is incredibly knowledgeable and puts together a workout (and nutrition plan) that is right for your body and your goals. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The team at Fuel has diverse backgrounds and styles, but they all welcome you into the fold as part of the family. I have had great results and am so happy that I joined! Weight lifting was new to me when I joined last fall, but I am so glad I stopped running myself into the ground with cardio and gave it a try. Total game changer!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at FUEL for over two years and it has been exceptional. The staff at FUEL are professionals that are incredibly knowledgeable and can tailor your workout program to meet your individual needs. I have been able to increase my muscle mass during my time at FUEL and feel strong every time I leave a workout. I can’t say enough good things about my experience.

Fantastic experience: Fuel is a place I know I will be pushed. They have exceptional trainers who know how to push your limits smartly and safely. They program phenomenal workouts that ensure results. I feel myself getting stronger every session! Shout out to Perry and Kevin for afternoons of fun and sweat.

Fantastic experience: Kevin C (my trainer) and the rest of the crew are the best! Their approach is scientific and holistic and I couldn’t ask for a better cheerleading squad. I love it at Fuel!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at Fuel since September of 2019 and could not be happier with my decision to walk through the doors. The trainers are well versed and make sure you get the results you are looking for. The atmosphere is great and the exercises are even better. If you are looking at joining a gym, this is the place to go!

Fantastic experience: High energy, knowledgeable trainers. There's someone for everyone. I like to lift heavy, so Perry's my guy, but the entire staff is awesome and can help anyone meet their fitness goals. The strict attention to cleanliness during these times has been a plus as well.

Fantastic experience: Fuel is a great gym with a very genuine and knowledgeable staff. I trained with Perry and I loved his workouts. I’d always leave drained whether it was a leg day or an upper body day. They’ve got all the right equipment and very flexible schedules too.

Fantastic experience: The team at Fuel has always been very accommodating! The gym is always clean with the best equipment. Highly recommend training there!

Fantastic experience: FUEL has been one of my favorite gyms in the STL area! The staff is professional, educated, and always makes everyone feel good no matter your level. Training with Perry has allowed me to gain confidence and feel good!

Fantastic experience: Perry trains me twice a week. The level of professionalism and knowledge is the best I have ever had in St.Louis. The place is ran by the best and the people are great! The others that work there are real class and if you want the best training around than Fuel is your answer!!

Fantastic experience: FUEL sets the bar HIGH! The facility is as top tier as their trainers. The trainers are as welcoming as the environment. The sessions are personalized and intimate. Fellow clients are friends. And the results are REAL! I’ve recommended many to this gym and will continue to do so for anyone looking for an enjoyable and effective workout!

Fantastic experience: Jeff and the team do an outatanding job!
