We are a family at Restoration fitness! Supportive atmosphere no matter what level you’re at. Matt and Cissie are the people you need to see if you goals you want to achieve !

Fantastic experience: Did a workout here while I was in town and was super impressed with the friendliness of the staff and everyone in the class. I can tell a difference in the amount of effort they put into building not only stronger bodies but also team comradery. It makes a difference!

Fantastic experience: From the very first day I joined, everyone from the owners, coaches, nutritional staff, and members have been absolutely AMAZING!!

Fantastic experience: I am so thankful I found Restoration Fitness & Nutrition. Matt and Cissie have a gift that has been placed in them to help people reach their goals whether it is fitness, nutrition, or getting started in a healthy lifestyle journey. The heart they both have to help people succeed in their journey is incredible! I love the one on one nutrition that I have with Cissie. Her knowledge and help that I have received on tracking macros have been enlightening. I feel better and have seen so many bright spots as I started my journey with Restoration 6 months ago. I absolutely love the group classes - everyone is amazing and we have a great time in class. The coaches are wonderful, knowledgeable, and help push you to your full potential. If you are looking for a place to join, look no further - Restoration Fitness & Nutrition is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: Restoration Fitness has been an amazing experience for me and my fiancé! The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and the atmosphere is very enjoyable. We love Restoration!

Fantastic experience: I joined Restoration about 3 months ago and couldn’t be happier with my new gym fam! The workouts, coaching, and accountability are just what I needed to get me and keep me on track. If you’re looking for do-able but challenging workouts, this is the place

Fantastic experience: Absolutely incredible! I joined Restoration having no knowledge of CrossFit or working out. All of the coaches have been so patient and kind in teaching me proper form and in helping me gain confidence during the workouts. Everyone here is just super encouraging and welcoming! It’s a wonderful place to get plugged into, whether you’re experienced or a complete beginner like me. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: As a retired baby-boomer who wants to keep up with her young, active grandchildren, I came to Restoration Fitness seeking a customized program to help me get in shape while building muscle and bone mass. My distance from the gym and my erratic schedule did not lend themselves to the class format, but Matt was willing to work with me on creating a "remote" workout regimen with regular PTs to monitor my progress. He's customized a program to meet my abilities (i.e., zero athleticism!) while challenging me to increase strength and mobility. Thank you, RF, for inspiring and encouraging me to improve my overall fitness!

Fantastic experience: Cissie was amazing. Very through. She took her time to explain the the way proper nutrition works in keeping your body fit and healthy. The goals that are set for you are reachable and maintainable. If you want a nutrition coach that is caring and knows what they are doing check out Restoration Fitness and ask for Cissie!!

Fantastic experience: For four months, I have been able to take advantage of personal training, individual nutrition counseling and review, group workout classes, stretching classes, events and challenges for improving my health and fitness. I recommend Restoration Fitness and Nutrition for many friends and family.

Fantastic experience: Addendum-April 2022: I'm still a member after 20 months and enjoying every minute of it. The new facility is great, the expanded coaching staff is excellent, and I enjoy watching all my classmates work towards their goal as I work towards mine. I will always need to modify many elements but fortunately the coaching staff always has an alternative for me. I couldn't ask for a better gym for my needs In mid-October 2020 I made a snap decision one morning to find a gym, because I knew I had to do something drastic to improve my fitness. I also needed to stop my insidious weight gain that had been going on for a few years that I couldn't get a handle on by myself. I have a long history with gyms over the last 40 years, but they have all been larger, corporate ones- low cost, for sure, but not much guidance- and since I am now over 60, I recognize I need a more "hands-on" experience. The first gym that came up on my search for "gyms near me" was Restoration Fitness, owned by Matt and Cissie, and I absolutely haven't looked back. In the last 7 months I have gone from being barely able to do a quarter squat to easily doing full squats; my muscle and joint aches are diminished, due to a heightened fitness level; and I have lost close to 30 lbs thanks to the nutrition guidance available to me. Matt, as a coach, has been great for me because he is able to determine when I truly can't do something versus I simply am not trusting myself to accomplish the movement. I opt to do regular private training sessions with him, in addition to group workouts. He knows I truly enjoy weightlifting, so he designs workouts incorporating those elements in addition to cardio, which I appreciate. In Cissie I have found a nutrition coach who has great tips when I come up against something I am not quite sure how to handle, and she does a great job of watching over my shoulder to make sure I don't go off course. At my age weight loss is even a greater struggle than it ever was before, but I am within a few months of being the lightest I have been in 35 years, thanks to her guidance. The gym community itself is a mix of ages and personalities, from college students to some very fit former college athletes and even a few grandmas like me, which I love. At all times it is a fun group of people to workout with. And, of importance to me- absolutely a "no shame" zone; instead, we cheer on each other is the norm, as it should be. If you are looking for a close, intimate environment full of people who are open and friendly but serious about their workouts, lead by an insightful trainer who has your best interests at heart, coupled with a nutrition coach who will walk side-by-side with you during your weight loss journey, this is your place.

Fantastic experience: Matt & the Restoration crew have created a special gym environment that feels like family! The coaching & programing are challenging and have seen my fitness continue to improve. Happy to call this gym home.

Fantastic experience: If you want a gym with accountability, amazing coaches, uplifting environment, challenging and always fresh workouts, this is the place for you! This gym is more like family! I can’t say enough how much it is worth the investment to come here.. the return is huge in every area of your life!

Fantastic experience: I love working out at Restoration. I recently started attending the group fitness classes and was pleasantly surprised by how approachable yet challenging the workouts are. As a former athlete, it is important to me that the coaches and staff are extremely knowledgable, and I fully trust their expertise. The community environment that has been cultivated at Restoration makes me excited to wake up in the morning and head to the gym. There truly are a lot of great gyms in Lakeland, so if you are considering joining one, I highly recommend at least talking with Matt and Cissie. They are extremely honest and kind and they will help you decide whether this is the right gym for you. It certainly is the right gym for me.

Fantastic experience: Matt & Josh are the best!! I love that they want to make sure you are doing the workouts the right way. They also tweet the workout for you, as I am not a body builder. They know how to encourage each person during the workout & after. Don’t get me wrong I am super sore the next day but I know why & it feels good to know I am doing something right! Cissie really wants to make sure you are eating the right foods for you as an individual. The following up & the apps help you to stay on track. Matt & Cissie have done a great job creating Restoration Fitness & Nutrition! It really feels like our own little community!

Fantastic experience: Cannot put in words how amazing and friendly the environment of Restoration Fitness is! Love the gym, the workouts, and the coaches!

Fantastic experience: I've never been a fan of the gym but with Restoration I look forward to coming back each week. Every day is a different workout set, so that makes it fun and exciting. I'm still a beginner so having the coaches explain, with short demonstrations, how to do all of the workouts helps a lot. Also, the coaches show modifications in case you are not comfortable with some of the moves. In regards to the environment, everyone is welcoming, kind, and encouraging. I'm very glad that I found this place! Since I started I feel more energized, lighter and can't wait to see how my overall health and wellness will improve in the months to come. Matt, Cissie and the rest of the team are awesome!

Fantastic experience: I joined Restoration Fitness 2 months ago and I have had great results already. The whole team there is very knowledgeable and supportive. I look forward to more training and finally achieving the goals I have set for myself! I highly recommend Restoration Fitness!

Fantastic experience: Restoration Fitness & Nutrition has completely changed my life. Matt, Cis, and Josh have created an inviting environment where people at all fitness levels can come in and get a qualitu workout. Each workout is fun, challenging, and tailored to the individual. The coaches make sure each member is encouraged throughout and recieving the coaching that they need. Seriously such a great team, great atmosphere, and great group of members! I also do nutrition coaching with Cis, which has been monumental in my health journey. While activity is necessary, you can't outwork a bad diet. Cis has changed my outlook of food and I have become so much more knowledgeable about what I am putting in my body. I have lost 16 pounds in 4 months. I cannot recommend Restoration enough! Try it out, you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! It's a gym for all ages and abilities. The environment is so welcoming and working out in groups is motivating. I would highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: I love this place ! Matt, cis, and all the other trainers are very encouraging and supportive. First time trying out CrossFit and I love it. Great nutritional classes, great group classes. It really feels like a family here. I’m the most fit I’ve ever been within my 3 months of being here! Highly encourage anyone looking to take control of their health to join :)

Fantastic experience: The absolute best personal training experience I’ve ever had. Matt makes sure I’m working hard but without injury and getting to my full potential!

Fantastic experience: I cannot rave enough about my experience here. My first meeting was with Matt and I told him I would need personal training from a female trainer as that is what I’m comfortable with. They went above and beyond for me and I was coached by Ciccie who was well into her own pregnancy at that time! I did a full body scan and she was so knowledgeable. We sat down and put together a 3 month plan to reach my goals and here I am 3 months later as happy as I could be. She set realistic expectations for me and she motivated me to work hard. She was always a text away for nutritional advice or exercise programs while I was on vacation. I felt at home. There was no gym anxiety going in, I felt prioritized and I have gained so much knowledge about nutrition. Ciccie also tracked my nutrients from MyFitnessPal and was tuned into me. That one on one attention was amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better gym and better coaching! Also shoutout to the whole staff, they were so welcoming and kind throughout my journey! Thank you Restoration!!

Fantastic experience: If your looking into joining a gym to lose weight or to stay fit. I would definitely give this gym a try! I started in June 2022. I wanted to lose weight and be healthier. I’ve always struggled with my weight my whole life. I wanted a change so I scouted out gyms near me. Restoration Fitness and Nutrition was the closest. I met with Matt who is one of the owners of the gym and I decided to join. My first month there was rough since my body has never done any intensive workouts before in my entire life. Going into my forth month and I definitely tell that all the hard workout I’ve put in is paying off. All the couches here are all kind, helpful, knowledgeable and encouraging. I absolutely love working out now and I love this gym!

Fantastic experience: Restoration Fitness & Nutrition deserves all the positive reviews and more. The owners Matt and Cissie are amazing! My husband and I joined a few months ago as fitness and nutrition clients. Collectively we have lost over 30 lbs and gained a ton of insight into the specific needs our bodies have at this point in our lives. Matt works with each member to understand their fitness goals and how he can help achieve them. The workouts are always challenging, but adaptable to any fitness level. Cissie has a lot of knowledge on nutrition and how to tailor to individual needs. The plans she creates are realistic. No crash diets or crazy diet pills, just working on finding the right macros and eating real food. I highly recommend their services to anyone wanting to find a healthier lifestyle!

Fantastic experience: My son is 8 and is extremely active and athletic. This camp really challenged and encouraged him to work harder and to keep pushing through difficulty to get to the next level! 10/10 would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Restoration has changed my life for the better and I never saw it coming! I started this year looking for a gym, willing to make the investment in whichever one I chose. I visited a few different ones before I had even heard of Restoration and was close to choosing one of those until I met with Matt for a free intro session. It was an immediate and easy yes - I never looked back. I knew this was the place I was looking for and that it offered everything I wanted. Matt and Cissie cultivate the most encouraging, supportive, friendly, and confident building environment. The group fitness classes are my favorite - they hold me accountable, and help me to understand what I need to do and how do it best. I feel challenged in the workouts but confident to complete them! I love the smaller class sizes - it feels like you are receiving more individualized personal training from the coaches. Matt and Cissie are intentional in investing in you and helping you reach your goals. They are passionate about what they do and it shows in the members, coaches, and coaching. I am more confident than ever and anticipate being a part of Restoration for a long long time! I am better because of it and encourage you, if you're looking for a gym, to come join us here!

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for RESTORATION in your life, look no further. This gym is true to its name. Never have I ever had such personalized and thoughtful nutrition coaching. Cissie has not only coached me how to form healthy habits in eating, but in my personal life too, so that I could finally be walking in food freedom. She's available, dependable, creative, and has hoped for my success more than I do many days and in many ways; which makes her so encouraging to be around. I constantly look forward to our next meeting together. I am getting my life back with Restoration Fitness & Nutrition; and if I can do it, anyone can. Check out Restoration. You won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Cissie and Matt for a few weeks now. First off they’re really nice people. They make you feel comfortable and lay everything out in an easy to follow and understand manner. Secondly it’s easy to see they know what they’re talking about and I’ve started to see results quickly following their plan and guidance. I look forward to working with them into the future. If you’re thinking about it give them a chance. You won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality They have created such an awesome friendly environment where everyone wants to see everyone succeed! I have gotten so much stronger since I’ve been there and my nutrition has improved so much! I have a much better relationship with food now than before! This is the best gym I’ve ever been apart of!

Fantastic experience: Love love love this place! Excellent coaching during (before and after) workouts! Supportive atmosphere no matter what level you’re at. I’ve gained lots of muscle and strength, burned fat, gained friendships! Thanks Restoration for helping get closer to my goals!

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a trainer/gym that would help me stay focused on reaching my goal. That’s when I was referred to Restoration Fitness and Nutrition. It has been such a great opportunity and I feel thankful that I was able to find a wonderful place that provide an exceptional gym, trainer, and nutritionist. I now feel a positive mindset, gained strength, and most of all, focused on reaching my goal and staying strong. Both Matt & Cissie are awesome to work with. They work in your best interest and believe in you.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I’ve been involved with a lot of fitness facilities and methods in my 35 years of life. But Restoration has been by far the greatest coaching, eduction, and nutritional guidance I’ve ever received! And it’s one of the healthiest GYM environments I’ve ever worked out in!

Fantastic experience: Restorations Fitness has done an amazing job walking with me through nutrition and fitness. Cissie has taken her time to listen and research ways to help me heal through good foods. It has been helping! Great people over all!!!

Fantastic experience: Matt and Cissie Wetmiller are definitely a dynamic duo! I joined a month ago and have followed both the nutrition and fitness coaching they have provided. My results are great so far, but most importantly- I feel better, stronger and happier! The workouts are fun! The small class size makes it easy to get personalized attention and feel comfortable . I cannot recommend Restoration enough! They are changing my life one day at a time!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism Love this gym! From the moment I joined they took time to hear my goals and desires. The members are welcoming and encouraging. Working out is so much more than just the 4 walls of a building, it’s a community and that is what this place is!

Fantastic experience: I joined Restoration in Nov 2020 when I was looking for a smaller, more personalized gym experience, along with trying the CrossFit format...I wasn't sure what it was, but I thought it would be good to get into a class setting where I could get some guidance on exercises rather than me figuring things out on my own (and likely not doing a very good job with form and keeping things safe for my body). My selection priorities were: --- good coaching/guidance in a variety of exercises --- smaller format -- I wasn't interested in being one of 15/20+ people in a class --- polite, encouraging community of real people --- nice, local small business owners to support the local community --- broad class schedule that could adapt to my fluid work schedule I checked a couple of the other gyms out online, and chose to visit Matt and Cissie at Restoration first. After my initial meeting, I didn't need to go anywhere else -- I knew Restoration was THE PLACE for me. Matt started me out with three introductory private training sessions to learn the fundamental movements and get oriented to the Cross Fit format. I wasn't so sure, but I trusted Matt and that was a great way to get new people started and oriented in so I could follow right along in class. Classes are organized very well, Matt's formula (and the other coaches, Cissie and Josh) for classes is very consistent and easy to follow. Small class sizes guarantee personalized attention and guidance during the workout to maintain form, prevent injury, and maximize exertion/results. We always start out with stretching to get warmed up appropriately, then a FULL EXPLANATION of the day's workout...complete with demonstrations of proper form for each exercise and pitfalls and common mistakes that people tend to make. We then have our class -- with the coaches in constant movement to observe the form of each and every person in the class. Classes are always small enough that you get this individual attention each and every time. When we're done (which usually involves me picking myself up off the floor...), we all pitch in to clean up our areas and equipment with disinfecting spray and then have a group stretch to cool down. I forgot to mention that the music Matt plays during workouts is AWESOME! I've expanded my music library as a direct result of Shazam and Matt! :o) In 2021, Matt also has started quarterly focus areas with benchmarking (e.g., cardio), so you can see how you have improved over the quarter. I've been back to my home in St. Louis and have tried a couple of gyms there when I'm back in STL, and honestly -- none of them compare to the experience I receive at Restoration. "The difference" is usually in the people, and the gyms in STL that I've been to are larger and have a variety of coaches to lead large classes. Depending on your coach, you can have a good experience and a not-so-good experience. But you *ALWAYS* get a great experience at Restoration and Matt, Cissie, and Josh work hard to give specific, personalized, friendly, and encouraging guidance to each and every customer. Thanks Restoration Team for changing my life!

Fantastic experience: I loved working with both Matt and Cissi. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, sweet, and has helped get closer to my goal than anything I was doing before. She has helped me learn what my nutritional goals are and has helped me with properly sustaining them. I worked out with Matt a few times but even those times he was really determined to make sure I was doing the exercises correctly and super compassionate about my limitations. These two are the real deal and honestly some of the best people to work for. I would suggest them to anyone who is looking for a nutrition specialist as well as a personal trainer at Restoration Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I can’t recommend Restoration Fitness & Nutrition enough! Matt and Cissie are some of the best people I know. They collaborate to help you reach your goals while simultaneously becoming a part of your family. They’re knowledgeable, professional and know how to produce results. Thank you so much

Fantastic experience: The coaches are very encouraging and knowledgeable. The owners have created a fun, family style culture. You can tell each workout is carefully planned. I also love the diversity in the gym, the coaches will tailor the workouts to each person so whether you are 65 or 25 you are guaranteed to leave feeling challenged and accomplished. The coaches really care about your goals and will communicate frequently, especially if you haven't been to the gym in a few days. I can't recommend them enough, you have to experience it to understand it, its not like any other gym I've been to and I have been to other crossfit style gyms. They also offer personal training and nutrition coaching for a more personal fitness plan.

Fantastic experience: Being a part of Restoration Fitness the last 3 months has truly been an incredible experience for me. I personally train with the owner Matt 3 times a week and also participate in nutrition counseling with his wife Cissie and the radical changes I have experienced in both my mind and body have been life changing. I have experienced significant strength gains across the board and have come to look forward to each session as the highlights of my week. I have achieved new levels of energy and confidence under their care that I haven’t had in 15 years. Matt and Cissie really care about each client they work with and they are deeply committed to helping people GROW in every area of their lives! If you are willing to put in the time and the work and LISTEN to the wisdom they have to give then your life will be changed just as mine is being changed!! Come join this community… you won’t regret it!!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Restoration Fitness & Nutrition has absolutely changed my life! If your looking for a community of people that want to see you reach your health goals then contact Matt and Cissie. I have been a member for over a year now and look forward to many more years ahead. Better Everyday!

Fantastic experience: I really cannot say enough good things about this gym!! I have been going for almost 2 months now & it was hands down one of the best decisions I could have made. I honestly have never loved working out more. The Restoration community is so welcoming & supportive & something that I’ve grown to love. The coaches are also phenomenal - they know how to challenge & help you reach your full potential but also encourage & uplift you along the way. Matt & Cissie are also some of the most genuine, down to earth, caring, & trustworthy people you will meet. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this place, I 100% would recommend it to anyone & everyone who has any sort of health or fitness goals

Fantastic experience: Great gym!! Great atmosphere!! Very challenging, great workouts! Matt and Cissie (the owners) are very professional, knowledgeable, super nice and super dedicated. No matter your starting point, this is a gym for everyone no matter your level, there are here to help you reach your goals. I really recommend everyone to come and try it out.

Fantastic experience: Matt and Cissie have done an amazing job creating a very welcoming yet difficult training environment. Each class is tailored to push every individual, regardless of training level or experience. Small class sizes which allows the trainers to focus on individuals specific needs and goals. Did a lot of research on different gyms and all it took was a sit down discussion with Matt and Cissie to understand their vision and goals for myself- highly recommend this gym to anyone!

Fantastic experience: BEST GYM EVER! The staff is super professional and caring! Matt and Cissie have the goal to help you become the best you can! The community in the gym itself is amazing, and the workouts are super fun and they will definitely kick your butt, but you will see the results of the hard work! Best place for any person regardless on what fitness level they are at, you will always feel welcomed at Restoration Fitness!

Fantastic experience: Restoration Fitness (virtually) is PERFECT for me! My coach, Cissie, is soooo encouraging! She tailors my workouts for me - age, ability, fitness, etc., and I so appreciate the approach of “NO one size fits all.” Being virtual allows me to be flexible with location and workout times, yet I still have access to my coach anytime I need help. Cissie is SUPER about quickly answering my texts/calls for assistance! Restoration Fitness has been a gift for this old gal trying to get/stay fit!! Yay for me!

Fantastic experience: Restoration Fitness, lives up to its name! It has restored my joy for working out and has got me back on track with my healthy eating habits. I love the programming and the nutrition classes are tailored to each individual need. The atmosphere is fun and motivating and I can’t say enough about Matt and Cissie who have created all of this! Just genuine people who truly love what they are doing and meet the needs of each individual member!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Restoration Fitness to anyone and everyone, no matter the level of workout you are looking for. Matt and Cissie provide a super high level of professionalism, but even more impressive is their personal commitment and demeanor in making getting in shape and getting healthy a positive experience for each and every person on an individual basis.
