Lumber City Athletics

Fantastic experience: Lumber City Athletics is more than a place to get fit. Today we did a great workout but more importantly, we had some life discussions along the way. The bonds you form when partaking in group classes is unlike anything else. We do hard things in the gym while experiencing hard things outside of the gym. It requires some level of vulnerability to do what we do. The workouts make us raw. They show us how we respond to taxing things, our mental capacity, how our nervous system regulates, how nutrition/sleep impact the body. We yell, swear, laugh, cry all without the fear of being judged or ridiculed for our feelings or performances. We allow ourselves to be seen when we are torn down. We put trust in one another to hold a safe space for all of those things while supporting and cheering each other on. It’s a really special place.

Fantastic experience: Lumber City Athletics is an amazing gym with an amazing community! The programming is not only challenging, but varied and fun! All of the coaches are knowledgeable and friendly, and everyone is always welcome! I truly look forward to my time at the gym! I’m in the best shape of my life and am continually working to make improvements and get stronger thanks to the personal coaching that I receive during every class! This is a great place to workout and be a part of a community!

Fantastic experience: Best thing I can say is that Lumber City Athletics is a family. I joined the gym in the spring of 2021 at a time when I was searching for both fitness and a community. LC has delivered both. The classes are coached professionally with humor and heart. If I had a dime for every time Coach Matt told me that my knees should track my feet during a proper squat....well I'd probably only have a couple bucks, but the point is for the 10s of times he had to remind me, each was done with the patience of the first time. As a newbie I felt supported by the community. Even though I frequently finished the workouts after the other "experienced" members, as I pushed through I heard their cheers urging me on. Everyone at the gym is united in a goal of self-improvement through fitness and wants the others to succeed. Workouts are scaled to ability so all members complete the same workout in roughly the same amount of time. I had a background in running but had almost zero experience at lifting--and that's ok. The coaches met me where I was, helped me with my fundamentals, and suddenly find myself achieving things I didn't think I could even a year ago. I went from being able to do zero pull-ups to now doing 4-5 without a band or other support. Obviously I have a long ways to go, but thanks to Lumber City I know I can get there. Could not recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: Lumber City Athletics has given me a whole new perspective on working out. Prior to becoming a member I knew nothing about weight lifting and how workouts should look. The coaches were sincere in helping me learn the movements, all while making sure I was doing them correctly. Lumber City Athletics is a great place to learn and grow. Thank you coach Jenn, Matt, Alex, Jim, and more, you guys are the best!

Fantastic experience: Have been coming here for quite a long time and still look forward to each and every workout there. Good coaching, positive attitudes, friendly environment and clean. It is a great place for someone working out for the first time, someone looking to change up their past routine, or someone looking to build on their fitness experience. Focus on community and making sure that everyone has a positive workout and experience each and every class!
