Everyday Athletes

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Everyday Athletes for just over a month now. I have been and continue to be impressed with the services they provide. Every session, I am amazed at what my body is capable of. I still have a way to go in my fitness goals, but I know the trainers at Everyday Athletes are there to support me and push me to meet my goals.

Fantastic experience: Threw a combination of training and nutrition education, Everyday Athletes helped me loose 90 pounds before I found out I was pregnant. I've continued my training threw out my pregnancy and it has helped me stay healthy and active. There is no one else I would trust to help me get a better-than-before-baby body once my little one arrives (any day now) and I am cleared by my doctor to start training again. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Fantastic experience: EA has been more than a gym for me. I’ve made incredible friendships, attained goals I never imagined for myself, and completely changed the way I think about fitness. My trainer, Brad Longazel, continues to help me push myself and reach the potential that’s always been there. I now view fitness as not just a part of my health, but as a puzzle piece to a balanced life. I’m thankful to have found a place that is such a good fit!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Everyday Athletes since January 2013. I have a mobility problem in my left shoulder which not only impacts the way I exercise, but also limits what I am able to do on a daily basis. Since I have been working with Brad I have a noticeable improvement in the range of motion in my shoulder and I have much less pain. This has allowed me to sleep better and to have a better quality of life. The Everyday Athletes trainers work with their clients to determined their goals, evaluate their physical condition and then create a custom program to fit their specific needs. I would recommend Everyday Athletes to anyone interested in improving their lives.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Everyday Athletes for more than three years - personal training sessions twice a week. I am in better shape and healthier than I have been in years. I've made steady progress, stayed motivated, maintained a healthy weight and suffered no injuries working out - all because of my trainer. The personal trainers here actually work with you, not with cookie cutter sessions! My program is based on my body's needs. I couldn't be happier. Also taking some of the free classes that come with membership. EA is the best!

Fantastic experience: I began with Everyday Athletes to begin my second weight loss journey. It is from my trainer I am able to receive the recommendations that are tailored to me. Plus, I have gotten to bring my 9month old son to my sessions without hassle; due to no babysitter. Although, I have some ways to go in my journey I have the support from Everyday Athletes!

Fantastic experience: I found Strong Side CrossFit through Groupon and have been going since. Everyone was very welcoming and also help to push/cheer you on during workouts. A smaller gym (which I love) with a great environment!

Fantastic experience: Chance has been my trainer for many years. I have seen amazing results in my body. I am pregnant now and still go to see him twice a week. All of the staff is very knowledgeable and I feel like I am in great hands with them. Also, their prices are very affordable which is great when you are on a budget.

Fantastic experience: Strong Side Crossfit has been a blessing. I started out nervous and wasn't sure if this was going to be right for me but, I was wrong. The environment, coaching and support made me feel like I could achieve anything. I love this gym

Fantastic experience: I've been training at EA for almost a year. The ownership and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The personal programs designed for me were always varied, fun and challenging. The gym is clean with a lot of space and equipment to accommodate for any type of training for any age. If you’re looking for a trainer or a standing appointment to keep to motivated to go to the gym you won’t be disappointed at EA.

Fantastic experience: I need the personalization and TLC I get from the trainers at Everyday Athletes. After a horrid day, I go in for a session and come out feeling like a new person. Not only can I relieve stress, I get in better shape mentally and physically to tackle my next hurdle. Every trainer there has the same level of committment to the clients, so I wouldn't mind working with any of them. I would follow my trainer wherever he trains. I look and feel great thanks to the skill, expertise, and personal touch I get at Everyday Athletes.

Fantastic experience: Everyday Athletes is owned and operated by some of the best trainers in the business. They have the education, experience and passion for what they do and it shows. Combine that with a state of the art facility and you truly have a winning formula for success. Whether you are a beginner, weekend warrior or competitive athlete Everyday Athletes will help you reach your goals.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Everyday Athletes since September 2012. I am very impressed with them. I had never been to a personal trainer before and my friend talked me into trying them out. I work with Brad and he has helped me in so many ways. I am forever grateful for what he has done for me.

Fantastic experience: As a long standing client of Everyday Athletes, I can say without hesitation that the quality of training at this facility is the best in the city. The atmosphere is fun and inviting, the staff truly enjoy their work and they provide a level of knowledge and commitment to health, fitness and strength training that is unparalleled by any other gym. If your goals include improved health, better athletic performance or increased strength this is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: When it comes to CrossFit gyms I have seen many. I know the difference between good coaching and great coaching and Strong Side CrossFit has outstanding coaches. I highly recommend dropping in they helped improve clean in one class.

Fantastic experience: I started crossfit at Strongside hesitantly about 6 months ago. The people there immediately took me in and made me feel welcome. I am now going 4-5 times a week & love it! The coaches there are unbelievably knowledgeable and have helped me achieve many goals & pr's. The people & coaches at Strongside are by far the most humble, motivating & supportive people I've ever met. Classes are organized, well run & meet all fitness levels. This is the best gym with the best people & coaches. Friendship & fitness at its finest!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Everyday Athletes for about 8 months now and I've never felt better! I feel energized and STRONG. I've never enjoyed working out until now. I'm down 4% body fat so far and well on my way to reach my goal... thanks to my trainer, Brad Longazel. I meet with him twice a week for 30 minutes yet I feel like I've ran a marathon when I leave. Every trainer there is very knowledgeable in what they do. I would highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: I was 46 when I started coming to Everyday Athletes. A Gymnastics accident, 6 car accidents and a boating accident had left me with migraines for 34 years, Vicodin daily for the past 17 yrs and steroid injections 1-2x/ yr. I thought, well, this was it. And I had been a body builder when I was in my 20's- and here I am. Very fragile. It's been about a year now with Brad and no more pain pills, steroid injections and I am lifting about 70% of weight I used to when I was in my 20's. My migraines are fewer- and I am no longer fragile. We used to say that we didn't think I would be able to carry a future grandchild. My first is due in April and I will. This is a great place with a great program. S. Trauman KY

Fantastic experience: Never being an athlete, I was unsure of myself in the gym and nervous about lifting weights incorrectly. With the help of Brad Longazel I have been able to, not only lose body fat but also gain muscle. The education and experience that Brad and the other trainers have, put my mind at ease while training to become an Everyday Athlete. Regardless of the level of experience that you have in the gym these trainers can help you become an Everyday Athlete the right way.

Fantastic experience: I used to work out at a large gym, and went through five personal trainers there. Then I found EA, and I have been training here for a few years now... With the SAME trainer, Brad L. This is an awesome place to workout. You pay a small fee for personal training, and with the personal training you also get an open gym to workout when you want. They have group workouts also, and they don't cost any extra. My progress has been amazing. I have dropped 36# over that time and at age fifty-three I can say I am in better shape and stronger than when I was in my twenties. It took me years to start working out, but I will never look back, and did I say? This place is AWESOME!

Fantastic experience: Without any reservations, I highly recommend Everyday Athletes & the coaches to anyone wanting to meet and exceed their fitness goals regardless of experience level. After a recommendation from a friend, I tried the free 2 week trial with Chance at Everyday Athletes. At first, I was a bit curious what I could learn from someone else since I had purchased a few fitness books, read blogs, watched videos and frequently reviewed the exercise program of the month through popular magazines. Although I had never had formal training with free weights, I was under the impression the only real goal was to move as much of the heavy weight as you could, oblivious to the fact that form can literally injure you. We spent the first sessions evaluating & documenting my (lack of proper) form and building a solid base of proper movement with lower weights. As we secured the form we added weight, beating & exceeding my self imposed (and often ridiculous) goals for the squat, bench and deadlift. I'm nearing 2 years of working with the team and haven't looked back and am happy with the progress and continue to notice improvements each session. The coaches aren't over bearing yet do hold you accountable for activity inside & outside the sessions while the overall community of fellow athletes are supportive, offer tips, insights & personal stories of how they have progressed over the years. Every athlete has their own goals that are on different paths, but we all share in the desire to get better each session. The trainings offerings are flexible with your schedule & frequency (and you can even bring well behaved dogs). In addition to individual/partner training sessions, they offer group classes: mobility (stretching, form overviews), CrossFit (via their sister program Strong Side Crossfit, look it up), MetCon (30 min sessions of cardio + some weight/equipment movements), and Power Crew (group power lifting sessions of bench, squat & deadlift). So it is time to make an investment in yourself, press the message button, pickup the phone, leave a comment, stop by and get started. Each day you delay is one additional day you aren't improving your form, endurance and overall health.

Fantastic experience: Where Odin’s best warriors train for Valhalla.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Louisville. Great for lifters of all kind. They have every piece of equipment you could ever need. Friendly and helpful staff. Owners are always in the building working and making improvements.

Fantastic experience: I had a week long membership and must say I was quite impressed. The amount of diverse equipment they have is amazing. Pros: - equipment (both diverse and quite a few racks) - environment (the people are all quite friendly) - feels like the owner is very transparent and nothing is set with contracts, just pay as you go, which I prefer Cons: - no AC during the summer, which is a given with its location. It would cost quite a bit to refit a storage facility like that. This is the only con.

Fantastic experience: It is an amazing gym. It is one of the first places to make me feel at home since moving from South Florida. I asked someone for a gym w sleds, turf, and barbells to lift. She referred me there & it is even better that what I expected. It has everything-OLY, CrossFit area, strongman area, machines, turf, rigs, sleds, sauna, recovery room, and more. The best part is that I can bring my dog just like I did at my gym in Florida. Also, everyone is there to get stronger: I love it!!! You should definitely try it!!!

Fantastic experience: I have lived in this city for a long time, and I have been a member of several gyms all over the area. None have ever compared to EA across all aspects. For some perspective, I am a provider in the rehabilitation field. With that being said, I’d like to think I am well versed on all things anatomy and functional movement. I can say confidently that there is not one time that I walk out of this gym without having learned something myself. It has truly changed my life. There is no one in this realm more dedicated to their craft than Brian and the other guys that make this gym what it is. They have something for everyone. I mean EVERYONE. All levels of fitness. All interests. All physical capabilities and limitations. These guys go above and beyond what is expected of them when it comes to training programs, fitness, nutrition, injuries, and anything else that comes along with making someone reach their full potential as an athlete. Equipment is top notch and there is not a member of this gym that’s not willing to help educate you on how to use it. Brian goes above and beyond working with his athletes on all their goals, including myself, as do the other owners and trainers. I will recommend EA to anyone who is interested in a change or starting brand new. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Amazing community, amazing equipment, amazing everything. If you want to compete in powerlifting, bodybuilding, crossfit, strongman or anything else, coaches there will be there to guide you, and of course the equipment will do the job too.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Joined here after my old gym shut down during covid and I needed another place open 24 hours. They have tons of options when it comes to free weights and machines, pretty anything you can think of is available. Good selection of cardio equipment as well. It's a very large gym so even when it is busy it doesn't feel as crowded as smaller gyms do. Kept clean, in good shape and they are always adding new stuff, well worth the price. Definitely recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym. Pros: Tons of equipment, open 24/7, great environment, friendly people, lots of space Cons: People don’t have good gym etiquette here. Many people don’t re-rack their weights, don’t clean up after themselves, etc. Also not a fan of the particular treadmills they have. Still giving 5 stars because the pros heavily outweigh the cons.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities with just about anything you can imagine that has to do with training.

Fantastic experience: Coach Carson is such a nice guy! Welcomed me and my daughter with a smile and took it easy on us! Nice open gym with lots of options in there.

Positive experience: Has everything you need. Working in town needed a gym staff was very helpfull

Fantastic experience: Great facility and great people. One of the best values in town. On top of that, I appreciate their customer service. I had a small issue with billing and they went above and beyond to make it right.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Kentucky hands down, top notch equipment. 24 hour access, super solid atmosphere and plenty of helpful people.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: (THE REVIEW HAS AN UPDATE, PLEASE CHECK IT OUT—Former 1 star review) Came in to the gym to check things out but Bryan McPherson seemed extremely disinterested and rushed to show me the space, literally I walked in and out in less than 50 seconds. I was left standing in gym after walking past the ladies room because "that's pretty much it" So disappointed, it is already difficult enough to have the courage to walk into a place but I guess if you aren't looking like you g to the gym for a living or a part of a certain community, you may not receive the kind of welcome as a beginner. Maybe this gym isn't even for beginners. Truthfully, I would rather have been told to schedule a time to come back vs rushing me off. I didn't know you couldn't simply walk in and asked to be shown around. He was on the computer when I came in and seemed preoccupied from the start. Didn't expect cheerleaders when you entered but I definitely expected a more informative experience. UPDATE: I felt it was important to leave the proper review because I was impressed with how this entire matter was handled. The owner Brad, he reached out and we emailed for him to setup a personal appointment. We ended up signing up and I got assigned to an amazing trainer, Wes. The equipment is top notch and they have a bod pod that measures out every necessary body measurement to ensure you get a meal plan and workout specific to you(I think I spelled right) anyway the experience here is different because you are evaluated from the very binding to ensure that you are maximizing your workout. Which changed the game for me (movements, strength, agility. . .etc) it is a very personalized experience. They also have open gym, if you don't want training package. The equipment you have access to is worth it. It is 24hrs. I am a person who hates the gym because I feel so weird exercising infront of others, but here—everyone is working on themselves these people are so focused on their gym time. I felt confident and encouraged by the staff and they play good music too. Also I was concerned about feeling out of place, because that is a real thing, but I was so pleased to see diversity and age range! A small note: their refrigerator has a great selection of items and you can open a tab—the grab and go system is perfect. Give this place a go.

Fantastic experience: In short, it is the best gym in Louisville. My wife and I moved about a year ago and leaving this place was like leaving friends and family. The facilities are top notch, the staff is determined and friendly and the resources provided are second to none in my experience. If you are hesitant to start working out but know you need to, even if the goal is just 'to be healthier' this is the place to start, the place to go to every week and the place to stay at while youre in the area. Thanks to the trainers my wife and I were able to move to a partially independent workout with little intervention from staff. We started with nothing and by tthe time we left we had the tools to continue working out in effective, safe and enjoyable way. Except the sled....screw that sled.

Fantastic experience: This place is the closest thing in town to a gym for Everyone. The equipment is constantly updating, and it is the only place in town to find some specialty equipment. There is something for you at EA; no matter if you are a national-level lifter/Strongman/Strongwoman, an athlete wanting to augment your training, or just a beginner to fitness that wants expert guidance from knowledgeable and understanding fitness professionals. EA has the trainers, facility, equipment and even guided classes to get you on your path of self-improvement.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the state of Kentucky. If you’re serious about training then this is the gym for you. EA has some of the highest quality equipment on the market, from Olympic barbells to monolifts and competition calibrated plates, they have it all. If you’re a powerlifting/strongman competitor and want to train with the same equipment you’ll use in competition, then this is your gym. If you’re new to training or just need some direction, EA has you covered with some of the best personal trainers in the area. There’s really something for everyone at everyday athletes and, best of all, the atmosphere is amazing. Everyone is like family at everyday athletes and everyone there is doing there best to get better while helping those around them achieve there own personal goals. If you’re looking for a new gym, here it is. Stop by and try it out, or just go ahead and sign up, because you won’t want to go anywhere else afterwards.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility with an open atmosphere and vibe. I've seldom had to wait for equipment to be available, even during peak times. I would recommend Wes if you are looking to get a trainer for the first time. 10/10 dude.

Fantastic experience: This gym is amazing. It has all the equipment you could possibly need. The trainers are very knowledgeable as well. I worked with Derek for a little over 2 months and he was great! Definitely would recommend him to anyone looking to get in better shape. When you think you do not have anymore left in you, he pushes more out of you than you think. He also teaches a class during the week that helped me with police fitness training.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at Everyday Athletes for 10 months now. It has literally been a life-changing experience for me. The trainers are all incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and friendly, and they've made the culture at this gym one of community and accessibility. I've been a dedicated couch potato most of my life. The EA trainers encouraged me in my desire to become more active, meeting me where I was at and giving me tools to help me meet my goals. There is a huge range of activity at EA, at all fitness levels. There are folks who, like me when I started, are just trying to get moving without hurting themselves, all the way up to CrossFit and competitive weightlifters. I never once felt intimidated here. I would recommend EA to anyone.

Fantastic experience: So let me tell you bout this gym. I joined a month ago because I was looking to compete in powerlifting and I realized I needed some guidance. A friend of a friend trained here so I went to check it out. Do you dream of a gym with no mirrors and chalk everywhere? Of inzer belts, deadlift platforms and squat racks as far as the eye can see? Of people who will pump you up, spot you whenever and push you to do better? Then look no further my friend, because Everyday Athletes is your dream come true. Oly lifting, powerlifting, CrossFit and strongman under one roof. Passionate and knowledgeable coaches. I am extremely thankful that these guys followed their dream and opened this place because without it, I wouldn’t have such a wonderful atmosphere to grow as a lifter in anywhere near me. Can we get some AC tho?!? Just kidding. Not having it is actually growing on me.

Fantastic experience: If your are not using this gym and training staff your wrong.... Lol this place truely is an amazing gym! Plenty of everything you need and none of what you don't. I can not speak high enough about the training staff here, their knowledge of training is far beyond any other "personal trainers" that I've came in contact with. Thank you Everyday Atheleyes

Fantastic experience: Been going to EA for a year now. One thing I can say is I contacted the co owner / coach about powerlifting, explained to him my weakness, coming from an injury , and everything. He analyzed my form, programmed workouts , and nutrition for me. Stayed late so I can finish workouts within the first 3 months. Literally the Best atmosphere in any gym EVER. This place became an second home to me. I competed in my first powerlifting meet and hit all type of PR’s due to the coaching. I would recommend anyone who’s looking for the right gym to check this place out. When I started last year of may I was 165, by September I dropped to 148 best shape I’ve ever been and made amazing friends. I simply love this gym. HIGHLY recommend this gym for anyone who’s looking to get in shape , improve weightlifting, powerlifting, or anything fitness related these guys know their stuff!

Fantastic experience: It’s not typical to find personal trainers who are not only educated in the field but who truly provide personal attention that results in exercise sessions which suit your fitness level, your unique (mental as well as physical) strengths and weaknesses and in an overall improvement plan designed just for you. But that is exactly what you get at Everyday Athletes – and even more: no judgment. This is not a gym for showoffs. It’s a place to become your best physical you, one dedicated step at a time.

Fantastic experience: So, you're looking for an honest review of Everyday Athletes (EA)? Great, look no further because I'm going to tell you the honest truth that nobody else will. This gym is god-awful, it's horrible... it's truly hell on earth! Well, it is if you have any of the following phobias: Metathesiophobia - fear of change Kakorrhaphiophobia - fear of failure Algophobia - fear of pain Medomalacuphobia, no, wait, that's me... ahh... never mind... moving on. Fear of change... fear of failure... fear of pain. Who, to some degree, doesn't have each of these fears? I've been going to EA since they opened their doors in 2011 and I'll freely admit to having experienced all three of these fears, at one time or another. In 2011, I couldn't squat 95lbs and didn't even know what a deadlift was. By the end of 2016, at 55 years-old, I was an all-natural two-time Kentucky state powerlifting record holder. That among various other reasons is why I've stayed and... that's why I can easily recommend EA. EA employs the most highly educated, highly trained and highly experienced coaches and trainers in the city. That's not hyperbole, that's the honest truth and I'm living proof of the type results that can be achieved. Regardless if you're looking for weight loss, toning or powerlifting, they have an option tailor-made for your success because... they understand that people have fears and concerns and address each of them head-on by building trusted relationships that give their clients the confidence and motivation needed to achieve success. Look, I certainly don't blame you for having fears or doubts, we all do, but don't allow those to keep you from improving yourself in a safe, structured and friendly environment. Please, give them a call and see for yourself what they can do for you; like me, I think you'll be glad you did.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. The whole staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Disney is awesome. The personal training is very personalized so you know you're working on what's best for you, not just some cookie-cutter workout. They offer a variety of programs so there's something for everyone (personal training, crossfit, power lifting, metcon, etc.). I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a personal trainer or gym.

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever. Staff welcomes every person that walks through their doors. They know how to motivate and encourage you. Best decision I made so far in 2017 was to join Everyday Athletes.

Fantastic experience: The friendly atmosphere at Every Athletes makes it very comfortable to work out. When I first started working out there I felt very clumsy with the equipment. Over time and with meticulous attention to my form, Brad L. my trainer has helped me build my strength to levels I never dreamt I could achieve! This place is great for beginners as well as seasoned veterans.

Fantastic experience: I LOVE this gym !!! The trainers are highly skilled in giving you what you need for your specific sport. Even if your sport is LIFE..They make you better in such a fun environment. Its a place where everyone knows your name . No it's not a bar called Cheers ,Its better ! If you haven't tried it , please do. I was back on the tennis court after a shoulder surgery in record time.
