Why Rock Solid fitness
Our certified trainers specialize in High Intensity SAFE Strength Training™—helping you build strength, prevent injuries, and achieve lasting results with expert-guided, science-backed workouts.
Why Rock Solid Fitness member's love us and how to know if we're the right fit for you
Let’s face it, there are countless local gyms, personal trainers, and fitness options to choose from, and it’s difficult finding the right fit for you. We know what our members value, and if you value these things then we know you’ve found your home for health and fitness with us.
Precise Data
When you workout with us you know when you're getting stronger, losing fat, or gaining muscle. We record everything that you do in every workout you perform, you are periodically given strength progress charts to track your improvement over time, and you are able to see your body composition changes with an InBody 570 every month. You don't have to guess if you're getting better, or "feel like" your getting better, because you have all the data you need to backup your progress and show you what you're doing is working.
Intelligent, Individualized Programming
You can be confident that the workout routines, equipment adjustments, and weights chosen on each exercise are personalized to you, your goals, and your current/past medical and injury history. Everything that you do during your workouts has a reason. You shouldn't rely on a workout routine that is performed purely because it looks cool on social media, or settle for an "because it's good for you" answer to your question of why you are doing an exercise a certain way. You deserve each exercise in your workout routine to have a purpose, a logical reason behind the form of a given exercise, and a Fitness Coach that can explain to you the ins-and-outs of the exercise you do, the form you use, the equipment chosen, and the anatomy of the body parts used in an exercise. Don't risk injury to your body by accepting anything less.
Time Efficiency
One of the biggest tells of why Rock Solid Fitness is a good fit for you is if you want fitness to be a part of your life, but not be your WHOLE life. We perform 25-minute workouts, just once or twice per week, in order to provide you everything you need to be your healthiest self. If you've been led to believe that you need to go to the gym for an hour, and go 5 times every week, in order to be in better shape, let us show you a better way. Get time back in your life to spend doing the things you love by choosing a more efficient way of becoming your fittest, healthiest self.
Expert Fitness Coaches
When you're working with a Fitness Coach, you deserve expertise - not someone who earned a certification over the weekend or learned about fitness through Instagram. Experience matters! Starting from our CEO, Patty, who has over 27 years of experience as a Physical Therapist Assistant and Fitness Coach, down to every Fitness Coach on staff who has studied anatomy, knows how to work around injuries, and knows how to get the most out of your training. With our expert Fitness Coaches at Rock Solid Fitness, you will always have an expert partner in your fitness journey.
