Fantastic experience: have loved the things i've learned and how i am continuing to build strength and confidence in my strength training journey. the family-like community has been a huge blessing to our entire immediate family-- highly recommend stivers strength for EVERYONE!

Fantastic experience: Everyone at this gym is so supportive...celebrating personal successes and gains, and offering encouragement when the training day seems harder than normal. In only 6 months, Nathan and Hunter have me on track to compete again. I would highly recommend anyone to give Nathan a call to see how he could tailor a plan to make you a stronger, better you!

Fantastic experience: Stivers strength is a great gym and community. Nathan and Hunter are knowledgeable about their trade and committed to your goals. I can’t recommend this place enough. I was intimidated coming in to the gym because I had no experience strength training. Nathan, Hunter, and the other members were extremely welcoming and patient with my learning curve. Soon they all became friends, and I looked forward to the conversations as much as the strength training. Would highly recommend to anyone in the Lexington area.

Fantastic experience: Consistent solid training / coaching staff and friendly environment.

Fantastic experience: I love working out here so much. It’s one of my favorite places to be.

Fantastic experience: Nathan and his staff have the dedication, knowledge, and experience to help you achieve your goals. They helped teach me how to lift heavy with proper form, adjust the intensity of my workouts to maximize my results over the long run, and work through pain to stay on track without making my injuries worse. I would recommend Stivers Strength to anybody who is ready to better themselves and their lives through strength training.

Fantastic experience: nathan stivers is pound for pound the best coach you will find in the central kentucky region.

Fantastic experience: Nathan diagnosed my existing work out, tweaked it, and changed my life. Turns out I was actually over working my body. Now I'm doing about half the workout i was doing before, but I have more gains and I'm lifting more. Best of all I enjoy lifting again and I have about four more hours of life per week that I'm not in the gym!

Fantastic experience: Weight training is not something I was originally seeking, but this gym is quickly fostering a love of lifting. In less than one month and with Nathan's help, I have nearly eliminated a shoulder impingement I've had for 5 years. I literally couldn't pivot my arm above my head without intense pain. I'm learning better posture by activating muscles I didn't know I had, which is also preventing small injuries I usually give myself. (I'm pretty short so I tend to hurt myself hauling luggage while traveling or driving too long -- I can't reach things). The gym atmosphere is great too. Everyone is on their own program so you aren't directing competing to see who can out muscle own another. No one makes fun of my 45lb squat when other girls can do 250+! They cheer one-another on when going for personal records. The pace is slow and incremental so we don't risk injury. And the coaches are always at the ready to give you everything you need to succeed (grabbing boxes, spotting weights, explaining physiology, giving encouragement). I very highly recommend Stivers Strength to anyone. It's not just for lifters, it's for anyone committed to a functional body and healthy life.

Fantastic experience: If you want to learn how to be mentally and physically strong without injury, Stivers Strength is the only option. Best gym in town.

Fantastic experience: Nathan and the trainers are extremely knowledgeable, patient and motivating. If you want to learn how to strength train or have been power lifting for years, this is the only gym you need. Love this place.

Fantastic experience: I love training at Stivers Strength! The trainers are wonderful and help customize any exercise to your needs. I've had knee pain all my life, and they've developed a training plan to help me get stronger with no pain!

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility and coaching! Very knowledgeable staff, excellent atmosphere. Very old school, laid-back vibe with hard work.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Stivers Strength since June 2014. Nathan has been the biggest factor in changing my views on fitness, strength, and nutrition. In the past three years I've become more fearless, more fit, and stronger than I've ever been. It has truly changed the way I view my body- now more for what it can do as opposed to what it looks like. If you need a positive change in your life, a strong community, and skilled coaching staff this is the place for you.
