Cornerstone Calisthenics Gym

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Bret & Megan for 9 months now after I was diagnosed with scoliosis. My initial goal was to alleviate some of the chronic back pain, if only that. Bret & Megan developed a fitness plan that met me where I was at and was very mindful of my physical limitations. They start off by correcting any everyday moving routine developed to avoid pain and create a strong and proper movement foundation. During these 9 months, I have felt myself getting stronger in subtle ways. I've noticed that my chronic back pain greatly reduce and everyday activities have gotten easier such as picking things up from the ground, carrying groceries, and walking up the stairs. Additionally, due to unrelated events, I have been very sick for most of the 9 months that have left me bedridden too many times to count. Bret & Megan have been so supportive during my time of sickness. They encouraged me to rest when needed and to visit the gym when I was better. They altered my fitness plan to accommodate my reduced energy level. And although there have been times where I made little progress, I've been able to maintain my overall progress. While there were many times I felt like my body was failing me, it has actually been getting much stronger with Bret & Megan's help. They have truly helped me through those difficult times, both mentally and physically. This gym is more than a place to workout, it's a place of community and support, not only with the trainers but with the peers as well. I look forward to continue working with Bret & Megan.

Fantastic experience: I started working with Bret & Megan as my special trainers 6 years ago. When I first started I was so very weak as a result of going through knee replacement & back surgery one year before. I knew I needed to do something to get my strength back. I especially liked the idea of working with a trainer because they are watching everything you are doing so you do not do something incorrectly and hurt yourself. Each of my workouts are with 2 or 3 other people and are specialized just for me and my ability. Also if you are having any special issues they are wonderful at adjusting your workout to help you get through those issues. Bret & Megan have your best interest at heart. They are very passionate about what they do, that is to help you! I am so proud of how much stronger I have become in these few years. I am 81 years old and feel wonderful! I will continue with Bret & Megan as long as I am able. You should give it a try.

Fantastic experience: Bret and Megan do an amazing job of personalizing each work out focusing on mechanics and doing each exercise correctly. Quality over quantity is the goal. This has helped me strengthen and condition much quicker and more effectively. I’ve been to other local gyms with personal trainers and frankly they could all use lessons from Bret and Megan. I highly recommend CCG to anyone at any age!

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Bret and Megan at CCG for several years, and they have really helped me learn proper form in strength training. I have injuries that have halted my progress in the past, and their knowledge and guidance has proved incredibly valuable to me in my health and fitness journey. They are patient and helpful and very encouraging. Thumbs up and highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I joined Cornerstone Calisthenics Gym because my mom has been working with Bret for something like 8 years or so and she wanted me to check it out. I was a little skeptical because I have been working out and playing sports for more than 30 years at this point, so I thought it wouldn't be too challenging. Well, I was wrong about that - it's challenging for all levels because it is progressive. Everyone works out at their personal level, although we all do the essentially the same workout (I workout in the small group). The reason I'm writing this review is because the other day I was playing indoor soccer and I had the most fantastical experience! I have always been slower than I wanted to be (running), although I've prided myself on my endurance capabilities (I've run a few 1/2 marathons and one full marathon). Anyway, at soccer the other night, someone said "dang, you're fast!" after the game and for the first time in my life I could agree with her. I could FEEL myself being able to accelerate past other players in a way I had only dreamt about in the past!! I attribute this ability to improvements in my body's proper alignment and movements that I have been working on at Cornerstone Calisthenics under Bret and Meghan's guidance. I've always been a hard worker in the gym - I can get myself pretty strong on my own with decent stamina and some increased speed - but I'd always hit a ceiling and plateau there, not being able to improve further. Well, I think Bret and Meghan are helping me to fix my body so that it functions more efficiently and effectively, thus, allowing me to improve beyond that ceiling/plateau. I am incredibly grateful for their hard work and guidance! Anyway, you can go to other big corporate gyms that have a ton of equipment and locations - I've done that and I still see the value in that, especially when you travel - but if you really want to improve your body's functional movements so you can workout more smoothly, avoid injury, and break any ceilings or bust past any plateaus you have hit, well then I highly recommend Cornerstone Calisthenics Gym. Plus, we're a family, a community. We like each other. We'd probably like you if you joined the gym. ;)
