Clandestine Strength & Conditioning

Experiencia fantástica: If you want expertise and care and fun, this is the perfect gym for you. Caitlin and Vernon are incredibly knowledgeable coaches, and are able to tailor your workout to exactly what your body needs. The workouts certainly are challenging, but I've never felt that my safety was in jeopardy. The community that they've been here is incredible too! I've always felt encouraged, and it's that feeling that has empowered me to get through that last set of burpees!! They play great music and often have fun "games" sprinkled in throughout their workouts (ie. LOVE "rowling"). All around great energy, great coaches and you will feel like a rockstar after... albeit probably quite sore. ;) If you have a chance, check out Clandestine Strength!

Experiencia fantástica: I was new to Minnesota and CrossFit when I came across Caitlin and Vernon. They have taught me so much over the course of months that I’ve been with them. Anytime you contact Caitlin, she answers. They have become my fitness family away from home over the course of time. Thank you so much Caitlin & Vernon !!

Experiencia fantástica: I look forward to going to Clandestine for a workout every single time because I know I'm going to be challenged and feel great afterwards. Vernon and Caitlin are so good at working with everyone no matter their fitness level or age. It's not a one size fits all approach, but rather very individualized. I'm 66 and I have never felt better or stronger in my life! I feel completely safe under their watchful eye and over the last three years have noticed a huge change in my strength level and stamina. The people I work out with are very encouraging too. We all cheer each other on. Never thought a workout could be so much fun - but they are!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Clandestine started as a way for me to introduce some accountability into my fitness and hopefully better myself along the way. I quickly realized that I was in for much more. Vernon and Caitlin’s ability to dedicate themselves to this gym and it’s members has me absolutely floored. They’ve helped me rehab and train through a back injury, improve my overall outlook on nutrition and fitness, and absolutely smash personal records beyond expectation. Clandestine S&C is a treasure to this community and I couldn’t be more proud to represent them with any opportunity I get.

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym ever!! Amazing results! Great people, it is really more than a gym - more like a family! I used to hop around from gym to gym, never finding one I loved but I've been at this one for over 2 years now and will never leave! The coaches are brilliant - not just in workouts/lifting but also in nutrition, sleep and injuries - they can and will modify workouts for you!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to work out. Vernon and Caitlin have the perfect blend of strength, mobilization, and injury prevention all under one roof. Whatever your fitness goals are, they can help you!

Experiencia fantástica: Incredible community of hard-working individuals rallying around a common goal to lead fuller, healthier lives

Experiencia fantástica: I'm writing this review because I miss this gym so very much! I'm amazed at how Vern and Caitlin always seem to remember what each of their clients is striving towards. Even though classes are taught in a group setting, they still find ways to individually challenge each member. Being a part of this gym puts you in direct contact with others who are working for one goal or another. The environment is great for all levels and the community aspect is what makes it worth the investment.

Experiencia fantástica: I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this place. The workout environment is like no other. Everyone is so welcoming and encouraging, I was so nervous my first time going but everyone was so nice and accepting. Vernon and Caitlin push to limits I didn’t even no I could push pass, I am so grateful for clandestine.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome training and brilliant trainer's

Experiencia fantástica: My wife and I could not work work out together because we had different goals in the gym, different experiences with working out, and different skill sets. Clan strength takes all of this and makes certain that you have a positive experience in the gym. Safety, education, and a few beads of sweat throughout. This community has been a game changer to my physical state, mental state, and something for my wife and I to bond over. If you are in the market for a community that works with you to push you in the right direction, this is a place you NEED to give Clan strength a shot.

Experiencia fantástica: Such an amazing gym!! Caitlin and Vernon are the best coaches! :) They are so welcoming, patient and very willing to work with you on your personal health goals. Also being newer to strength training, I really appreciate the advice on how to improve my workout techniques. Many thanks!! :)

Experiencia fantástica: I could write a book on how much I love this place, but I’ll keep it short. I don’t know what I would do without Vernon, Caitlin and the community that trains here from all walks of life. It’s more than just a place to “go work out” and you feel how special it is on your first day. Your pushed past what you think are your limitations and gain a new self confidence. Anything I’ve been asked to do in the last 3 years of coming here I’ve never felt that my safety was in jeopardy. You can visually see that the staff cares about your wellness and improving in whatever aspects in life that you share with them. This is the way training should be started and continued. I’ve never felt peer pressured to drastically change my nutrition or start on any fad diets. The changes come little by little with casually talking to the staff. You can NOT find a more individualized coaching staff than at Clandestine. One of the best kept secrets in Dakota county.

Experiencia fantástica: Clandestine Strength is a amazing place to workout, with warm and welcoming members. Vernon Neal and Caitlin Buckvold are top class coaches. The attention you get from these coaches is equivalent to quality Personal training. They have well structured workout plan from Beginners to Competitors.

Experiencia fantástica: Been coming here for 2 years now, and it's a great experience. Vernon and Caitlin are very knowledgeable and practice what they preach. I joined this gym after being tired of the monotony of planning my own workouts at the gym, and it is a fantastic way to get in shape and continually try something new.

Experiencia fantástica: Clandestine Strength and Conditioning is great for all skill levels! It is always a fun and challenging workout with great programming to help you achieve your goals, regardless of what level you're at. Vernon and Caitlin have created a wonderful community!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to workout. Vernon is an amazing trainer. Very knowledgeable and spends time explaining how not-to-do exercises. Workout sessions have been very challenging yet enjoyable! Thanks for making my first crossfit experience top-notch!
