The Grind is the best place to go to get strong and become more athletic. Joe Lasky is by far the best trainer I have ever worked with, under his guidance over the Summer all my max lifts have sky rocketed. Now I feel that I am ready for college ball. Everyday he made me work hard but I left laughing and feeling better about myself as an athlete. I’m leaving this weekend for college and because of Joe and my time at the Grind I know that I am ready to go!

The Grind is the best space in St. Louis to train safely with skilled trainers. The space is clean with new equipment. The Grind trainers are very present, mindful, and knowledgeable. I cannot recommend the Grind enough; Chico is exceptional at working with me week to week based on how my body feels and strength training has become a foundational part of my wellbeing! check out the Grind it is a very welcoming place to grow and reach goals.

Motivating and Inspiring Environment! I love working out at The Grind!!

Chico and his staff are great! I Hope all my boys hard work pays off this season.

I came to The Grind with the goal of putting on weight in a healthy and safe way before I went to play college soccer. As someone who didn’t go the gym that often, the facility and staff were extremely kind and welcoming and from the first day I felt comfortable. Joe was my personal trainer and he is fantastic. He pushed me to levels that I didn’t even know I had. He has helped me gain the weight I needed, as well as become stronger and safer in the gym. He showed me what I should and shouldn’t eat to help me on my journey. I look forward to each session I have because I know Joe will push me farther and farther each day. I would highly recommend The Grind and Joe to anyone who is looking to push themselves to become the best that they can be!

The best personal training in St. Louis. I’ve had many trainers in the past but never had this much attention and focus like I get at The Grind! I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and pain free!! Thanks to Chico and his amazing team!!

Recommend the Grind to everyone. First class training, encouragement and very accommodating. Both my boys are high school athletes and the personal training with Chico and Joe was tailored to their needs and sports specific. They didn’t try to oversell, we opted for personal training vs. group training and so glad we did. Everyone is super friendly, knows your name and always a fun, positive atmosphere! Glad we found them!

I love that you can do one on one training, and that they will work with you on your injuries and find ways to strengthen it again. I’ve spent the past 2 months going to The Grind and I train with Joe, I highly recommend choosing The Grind if you’re looking to flip your lifestyle around!

I have been working out at The Grind for a few months now with trainer Josh Ward doing 1 on 1 training and it has been fantastic! Josh always has new and challenging workouts ready to go every single session. He always pushes you to go further while encouraging you along the way. I leave every workout feeling accomplished. If you are looking for personal training or somewhere to work out I would highly recommend The Grind!

I have been working out at the The Grind for a few months & love it! Chico is amazing! He’s the perfect mix of toughness & encouragement! He has been great helping me deal with past injuries…knows when something painful can be rolled out rather than just worked around. I am so thankful a dear friend recommended him! Great trainer!

I workout with Dean, and all I can say is get ready. He is always well prepared for your workout time. He pushes you to your limits, in a very good, and controlled way. I would recommend him to anybody, that is trying to do anything, to improve your health and body. Excellent trainer.

Felt like my new home gym the second I stepped in the door. Josh is an amazing trainer. He is friendly, personable and motivating. His workouts are tough and push you but, every time I feel like giving up he is right there to keep my head in the workout. So excited to have found my new gym, my trainer & the rest of the staff at The Grind!

My daughter started working out at the Grind a year ago with her best friend just to get in shape for softball. She had been dealing with a shoulder injury for years that would come and go. When Dean found out about this injury he personally worked with her physical therapist to keep her therapy continuous, and it helped tremendously. After insurance quit paying for PT, she continued 2 – 3 days a week with the Grind and within 2 weeks she was finally pain free. She continues to see Dean and the rest of the Grind personal trainers 2 days a week and once a week with her team. The trainers all take the time to know my kids strengths and weaknesses. I would recommend The Grind for any personal training needs, whether it’s recovery from an injury or just getting in shape, they are the BEST! Oh, and my kid has FUN while working out…that says a lot about the staff!!!

Awesome facility! Dean is very knowledgeable and able to tailor workouts to help build up strength after a surgery. My daughter has a different workout each time she trains. I would recommend The Grind to anyone looking for a great workout with a fun and caring staff.

The Grind Fitness and Chico are truly the best in the business! Chico always makes the workout unique and sets it at a good pace. The flow is brilliant moving from one move to the next, working the body in a very strategic manner. He is an excellent listener when it comes to what your goals are and he will get you there. I am in the best shape of my life thanks to Grind Fitness! BEST in St. Louis!

I am LOVING The Grind! This is by far the best workout I have ever experienced. From warm up through cool down, this ever-changing work out makes me feel great! The facility is clean and fun and the trainers are excellent and excellent at tailoring the right work out for me. LOVE The Grind!

I’ve been working out with Chico for a about a month now. I’m absolutely loving the way I feel other than being sore, but that means we’ve been working! Chico understands that I came from not knowing anything other than cardio so he patiently explains and builds me up as weeks go on. The gym is always clean, the lady at the front desk is super nice, and the Grind staff is very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this gym to everyone!

The Grind is the best place in the region to become your personal best at whatever it may be! Do something for yourself and give yourself the gift of health and fitness!!

I can’t brag enough on how awesome The Grind has been for us! We have been going to The Grind for roughly a month and a half and it’s been an amazing experience. The staff is amazing and so understanding to your needs and working towards your goals. Chico Orlando has helped us in finding our motivation to get back to have a fit lifestyle again! He motivates us to become stronger. We more than appreciate what Chico has done for us! You guys rock!

The Grind is amazing! Very knowledgeable staff and able to have a coach by your side pushing you through every exercise. Whether you just want to lose some weight or are training for your next competitive season I would recommend checking out The Grind.

The Grind is a great place for athletes to improve their performance in their sport or for someone looking to shed a couple pounds to get their summer bods. I have been attending The Grind for roughly a month now and I work out 4 times a week. Each and every workout has been different and believe me, I have seen incredible results. Not to mention, the facility is HUGE and has state of the art equipment! And on top of the amazing facility, I would say the next best thing about The Grind would be the personal trainers. They are incredibly knowledgeable, make the workout fun, and they truly care about their clients. Go with The Grind and you will not be disappointed!

The staff is great. They are all athletes and former athletes that understand what it takes to be the best player you can be. I watch and see my son spending a lot of time working on the small things that I feel most trainers overlook. They start by performing a physical assessment of the athlete by running the athlete through a variety of physical tests to determine what areas need the most work. My son was weak in balance drills that involve a lot of ankle strength and stability. We didn’t even know that this was an area that needed work. They began working on his weaknesses day one. I have no doubt that The Grind is the best place for him.

All the trainers are great and really focus on individual needs.

The Grind is one amazing place with such great people that are more than willing to work with anyone!! If you are an athlete trying to improve your game the grind is the place to go! If you are trying to get back into working out and want to find a great place the grind should be your choice!!! Chico and Dean have really created something amazing!!! It’s only getting better!!

This place is a most go to if u are ready to live life to the fullest!!! The Grind is a great place to work out!!! But honestly I have to say the thing that makes the Grind the best place is the trainers, Chico Orlando and Dean Bryan are amazing! Last year I found out I was pregnant and was so afraid because I was already super over weight! So I tried my best and luckily my perfect baby boy and I were healthy the whole time.

To say the least, I’ve never been to a gym better than The Grind. I continuously learn new ways to improve my physical capabilities thanks to the amazing staff of Dean, Chico, and Michele. I’ve never met more driven people who sincerely care and have a strong desire to help every single person succeed in their goals. They have a crazy amount of knowledge behind fitness and athletic training. I’ve personally been working out with Dean Bryan for 5 years now and throughout multiple injuries, he still managed to go above and beyond to create workouts that avoided my limitations but still kept me strong and in shape. HIGHLY recommend to any person of any age with ANY kind of fitness goal or even physical limitations.

I’ve never been one to “have fun” while working out, usually it’s something I dread, until I started working out at The Grind!!! Chico has totally changed my mentality about health and fitness and working out is something I look forward to every week now! The facility is always clean and a professional environment! I’m so so so glad I gave The Grind a chance!

I love working out with Joe. He is enthusiastic, upbeat and makes working out fun. He is encouraging and strives for me to do my best during every workout.
Joe put me through a series of exercises to assess my abilities and establish a starting point. From there was able to create an individualized workout that fit best for my desired results.. I highly recommend this facility and Joe as your personal trainer.

Our daughter has been training with Chico for a couple of years and has been at The Grind since they opened. She’s an undersized middle, 5’ 10”, and playing a year up w/ 18’s on her VB team. As we’ve watched the season unfold her jumping has become more consistent and it seems higher!! (Waiting on verification at testing next week.). However it was pretty cool to watch her get a couple of blocks on 2 different D-1 recruits, Florida & Louisville, at a qualifier in Nashville last month!!

The Grind is awesome! All of the trainers are so nice and their dedication is unmatched! If you are looking for a new place to train, this is the place to go. They offer personal training, small group classes, athlete sessions and Zumba.. and the atmosphere is pretty cool. Check them out!

Mainly I’ve trained with Chico, but all of the trainers are excellent. They’re educated, always offer explanation about the targeted area of each exercise, and ready with a modification for those that need it. The facility is well-equipped and very clean. In all, these professionals are invested in those they are training. Their #1 priority is assisting clients in reaching their goals.

Great staff, very personable! Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a place for your athletes, this is the place to go! Our kids are getting stronger and better! Thank you The Grind for helping our kids achieve their goals! Thank you Chico and Dean!

Chico and his staff are great! I Hope all my boys hard work pays off this season.

My 16u softball team attends the grind weekly- they absolutely love it and myself as a coach loves the time Chico and his team puts into each workout. He takes the time to explain the correct way to do each exercise which I appreciate because I see so many younger athletes working out with improper form. Chico pushes my girls and they are getting quicker and stronger each week. Thanks for all you do!

The best personal training in St. Louis. I’ve had many trainers in the past but never had this much attention and focus like I get at The Grind! I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and pain free!! Thanks to Chico and his amazing team!!

If you’re looking to get better as an athlete or even just trying to get back in shape this is the place to do it!!! Chico is extremely knowledgeable and can personalize a program to get the results you’re looking for!!

Very dedicated staff that takes a personal interest in each athlete to achieve his/her goals.

Just want to give a huge thank you to Chico Orlando for being such a dedicated and experienced trainer! It’s almost been two years for me working out with you and I feel better every day! Over 70 pounds down I’m so thankful for your help. So if anyone is looking to lose weight and gain strength you should call the Grind!!

I recently signed up to train at the Grind, via a friends recommendation. The facilities are fantastic and incredibly clean. Chico is extremely motivational and does a great job ensuring proper form. I really enjoy the variety of workouts that he provides. I definitely recommend giving the Grind a try!

Chico is top notch. Anyone looking for someone to help better themselves look no further. For the past 5 years I’ve watched this man’s ambition and drive take him to the top. I recommend the grind for any athlete looking to take it to next level.

I love training at the grind and recommend it to everyone! The trainers are all very friendly and welcoming to all!

I have seen firsthand the transformation in the athletes from Lutheran South. If you are looking to take yourself to the next level, I highly recommend the Grind.

This place is amazing. The incredible dedication and personalization they give to each and every athlete, regardless of sport, is better than a lot of sport-specific places. The staff is great and the atmosphere is very inviting. Would recommend.

Great facility! Offers a variety of machines and things you can do. I would defiantly recommend going and giving it a try. You’ve got trainers there that care and know what they are doing.

This place is very energetic! Everyone is nice and helpful. I feel comfortable being here!

Great place for sport specific training. It’s next level and definitely what athlete’s need to excel in their particular sport. It’s a part of the process.

Everyone here is so kind! They really know their stuff and are great to work with. My son is 11 and has been working With Kenny for a couple of months and we have noticed a big improvement in his overall strength and confidence. If you need a great trainer Kenny is your guy!

Chico is THE BEST! He has trained my two boys for over a year and both have gotten amazing results, along w that Chico has been a mentor to them and they both absolutely love him

Great staff, incredible workouts, clean and large facility!! Can’t say enough great things about this caring staff and amazing facility. Highly recommend.

Great facility and great trainers with a lot of knowledge that care a lot about their clients! Also have a great internship program!

The staff is amazing. Great atmosphere.

Top individual and team sports training in the area for sure!

Abby has been working out at The Grind since spring and really enjoys the small group classes. As a soccer player, she likes the sport’s specific training that is incorporated into the workouts. Great facility and staff. They really care about the wellbeing and advancement of their athletes. Highly recommend!

Athletes, it is not only your talent, but your physique- The Grind can help make that happen!
The Grind supports my son’s desire to make it to the next level in baseball. We currently have a daughter playing D1 volleyball and as a former D1 athlete I am aware of not only the talent but also the physique that coaches are searching for. The Grind will tailor a program just for you to help you make it to the next level. We are so glad we have committed to Grinding it Out!

Chico Orlando owner of The Grind goes above and beyond to make your experience fun and results driven. The Grind offers the latest equipment and techniques for improving your health.

This is one of the best hands on training facilities that I’ve ever been to! They actually care about the end result, not just out to make a quick buck but to build an actual relationship. Highly recommend Chico and the guys over at the grind!

Great and very knowledgeable staff!

This is my absolute favorite place to work out at! The staff is friendly and they know what they’re talking about! HIGHLY recommend! Don’t bother going anywhere else!!

Being able to work out here has changed the way I look at sports. It puts a whole new perspective to being an athlete. It improves my intesity and my drive to succeed, as well as increasing my strenth and competetivness towards my sport. The leaders look at us and want us to get better and want us to push ourselves to our limits. They do this to make us the best people we could be. Im glad I get the chance to be able to work out here

This place is great I’ve seen big improvements in my game and I love it. I will continue to work with this organization to get better cause the grind don’t stop!!!

If you ever want to get in the best shape of your life I recommend coming here. By far the most up to date physical hands on staff around, they really do push you! (owner)

Dean, Chico and Michele truly go above and beyond for their clients. creating a fun and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone. They make sure to get to know each and every person who comes through their doors. They both have a wealth of knowledge in different areas, creating a huge knowledge basis for all their clients. The workouts are always changing and tailored to your needs and wants, so you will not get bored or in a rut and you will see results! If you are looking to step up your game as an athlete, or just wanting to get into shape, The Grind is the place to be! You wont regret your decision!

Great atmosphere to workout in and get better with the help of knowledgeable trainers! If you have a fitness goal of any kind, The Grind is where you need to be!

The Grind is easily my favorite place to work out. Dean and Chico have created an extremely fun and educational environment that allows any person to make themselves better. Whether you’re an athlete or just looking to get back in shape I would definitely recommend coming in and checking it out! Plus your first session is always free!

Awesome place to workout! The environment at The grind is fun & enjoyable. Chico & Dean are super motivated and interested in their clients goals & progress! Highly recommended for anyway trying to lose weight, get stronger, or anyone just trying to better themselves physically! (:

I’ve been working out with Chico for a about a month now. I’m absolutely loving the way I feel other than being sore, but that means we’ve been working!

If you are looking for a a great place to turn yourself into the best you there is this is the place. The grind is ran by two people who are very motivating and push you each and everyday. I have worked out with my chico for the past year and he is the best there is. Not only does he motivate you to be healthy and more fit bit also motivates you to be a better person all around. I have only known dean for about a year but he is the same, always giving good advice and helping everyone in every way he can. I also did the weight loss challenge and the workouts and motivation from that was great. The grind to me is more like one team of people trying to help everyone around them be better. If your interested in a better life this is the place for you

I will be headed into my 3rd month at The Grind tomorrow. I could not be happier with my progress. As a busy husband and father of 7 children, Chico Orlando and Dean Bryan have worked within my capabilities and brought me around to the point where I am extremly excited to see where the next block of training takes us. It is great to aww the scale going down, to feel flexible, to not ache, and to actually feel strong again. I cannot thank them enough for the very personalized attention that they provide during our short 1 hour sessions. They help hold me accountable to not only getting the work in, but to insure that the work gets done the proper way. I could not recommend them any higher. Go see them and get your Grind on!!

I can honestly say that I had never truly “lifted” weights, until I started working with Coach Bryan and The Grind. Each time I train with him, I can feel myself getting stronger both physically and mentally. When we workout he pushes me to my max and demands my best, every rep, every set, every time. I believe that my game has evolved, unlocking the next level of potential that I am capable of achieving and I attribute this to all of the work Coach Bryan has done with me in the weight room as well as on the field. Coach continues to push me to be great in the weight room as well as on the field. He has a genuine concern for me as an athlete and a person. I am very fortunate and thankful to have him as a trainer. If you want to take your game to the next level I highly recommend you go train at The Grind. You will see your game elevated and you will not leave the same as you came

This place is a most go to if u are ready to live life to the fullest!!! The Grind is a great place to workout!!! But honestly I have to say the thing that makes the Grind the best place is the trainers, Chico Orlando and Dean Bryan are amazing! Last year I found out I was pregnant and was so afraid bc I was already super over weight! So I tried my best and luckily my perfect baby boy and I were healthy the whole time. But 2 months ago I was so out of shape and gained more weight then when I was pregnant. I knew something had to change. Luckily I found Chico and the Grind. He knew and understood just how badly out of shape I was. so he started me slow and just in these 2 months my life is already changing. I’m down 22 pounds and I can move. so all I can say is if I can do it so can anyone. I could have never done it without the grind and a special thanks to chico!

Dean Bryan goes above and beyond in the interest of his clients. He has a superior background in his knowledge of personal training and athletic training and knows how to work with individuals according to their needs. He works very well with athletes and has personally helped me improved more in my physical capabilities and even mental challenges than I ever could on my own. He not only helps push me further but he educates me on the why and how process of each movement in the exercise. He genuinely cares about helping each person regardless of busy schedules and will go out of his way to help his clients. I highly recommend this to any individual of any age looking to improve their fitness on a whole new grind.

Great place with great staff! I am incredibly sore after each work out (good thing) so I know I am being challenged. Highly recommend for anyone! If you are an athlete looking to improve your performance or just a person looking to shed a couple pounds, then look no further, The Grind is the perfect place for you!

Our daughter competes in a niche sport where off ice training is critical. She had struggled with finding a local trainer. After meeting Chico through friends, she couldn’t wait for him to set up shop at The Dome and hasn’t looked back! Chico immersed himself in learning what her sport requires and tailors her program to meet those needs. He inspires her to be her best in sport/life by emphasizing the importance of all aspects: fitness, nutrition, recovery, focus, and attitude. She finished her season with PRs in all distances. Thanks Chico, you’re the best!!

The Grind has an awesome facility and the environment is great! Always playing music and motivating you to be great. Dean and Chico really know what they are talking about and will adjust workouts to fit each individual. If you are looking for a place to train as an athlete or if you are looking to just get in shape this is a great place to go! 1 on 1 training, group training, and fitness classes are all offered here!

Chico and Dean have gone above and beyond for the Grind! They have made it a special place where they get to know everyone they work with and truly want them to achieve their goals! They will push you to better! The workouts are never the same and it makes working out fun! I enjoy coming here to workout! If you have never worked out or been working out for awhile this is a great place to be! The atmosphere here is awesome! I have never met people before that have so much passion for their job and people they work with! Come try it out and see for yourself!! You will not be disappointed!

The Grind is a place where you go to be great. After every awesome workout with Chico i think of how much closer to success i am getting as well as bettering myself physically and mentally as an athlete. Dean, Chico, and Kenny go above and beyond to make sure each client is being the best they can be and achieve their goals at a quick, yet healthy pace. I’ve been going to The Grind since February and am up about 25 pounds, feeling way faster and way stronger. Definitely the best training facility in STL!!!

This place is an awesome place to work out! Very affordable compared to other gyms and the staff is excellent in showing their clients proper form, working hard to help each person reach the goals theyhave set out for themselves, and creating a fun environment for all ages. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to reach their goals!

My son and I love the Grind. He comes home from workouts extremely sweaty and always says that was a great workout! Love the small group size and the fact they keep it interesting. Chico is awesome, they care not only about the process but the person as well. Highly recommend

The staff is great. They are all athletes and former athletes that understand what it takes to be the best player you can be.

I have been taking my son to the Grind since he was 12. He loves all sports and our small group sessions have been perfect in helping him develop his strength in different areas. We have been with multiple trainers and each one is very knowledgeable! Would recommend the Grind to children and adults!!

Great experience working with Chico and the gang. They customized an excellent work out plan for my girls fastpitch team. Loved how they had new things every session. This is the place to train if you want to become a better athlete.

Thanks for all that you are doing with our 2 sons Percy and Allen Mitchell! They come home every day and say how intense the workouts are but they LOVE them! They really enjoy ALL the trainers and look forward to going back. They actually say it’s fun with the trainers! Again, Thank you and we will recommend Grind Fitness to everyone!

The grind is an amazing facility, with a staff that works great at developing youth athletes. All the trainers do a great job coaching youth athletes while treating each of them with respect. I would highly recommend The Grind to anyone looking for some extra push to achieve their next goal!

Talk about the absolute best strength and conditioning facility for an independent team that doesn’t have their own training facility. Not to mention, the absolute best staff – they are absolutely amazing. I have been working with them for just under a year now and they are simply the best to work with. Absolutely reasonable in every sense of the word including anytime it snows they will allow us to reschedule with no penalty. They are the best of the best thanks again GRIND!!!!!

I’ve been going to The Grind for a couple of months now and I have yet to find another place that does as great of a job training as they do. The staff is incredible, their intensity and motivation is truly unmatched. I was constantly pushed outside of my comfort zone in order to get stronger and faster. I went back to Missouri State in the best shape of my life, all thanks to Chico. I HIGHLY recommend going to The Grind.

All the trainers are great and really focus on individual needs.

Chico understands that I came from not knowing anything other than cardio so he patiently explains and builds me up as weeks go on. The gym is always clean, the lady at the front desk is super nice, and the Grind staff is very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this gym to everyone!

The Grind is the best place in the region to become your personal best at whatever it may be! Do something for yourself and give yourself the gift of health and fitness!!

I can’t brag enough on how awesome The Grind has been for us! We have been going to The Grind for roughly a month and a half and it’s been an amazing experience. The staff is amazing and so understanding to your needs and working towards your goals. Chico Orlando has helped us in finding our motivation to get back to have a fit lifestyle again! He motivates us to become stronger. We more than appreciate what Chico has done for us! You guys rock!

The Grind is amazing! Very knowledgeable staff and able to have a coach by your side pushing you through every exercise. Whether you just want to lose some weight or are training for your next competitive season I would recommend checking out The Grind.

This place is a most go to if u are ready to live life to the fullest!!! The Grind is a great place to work out!!! But honestly I have to say the thing that makes the Grind the best place is the trainers, Chico Orlando and Dean Bryan are amazing! Last year I found out I was pregnant and was so afraid because I was already super over weight! So I tried my best and luckily my perfect baby boy and I were healthy the whole time..

To say the least, I’ve never been to a gym better than The Grind. I continuously learn new ways to improve my physical capabilities thanks to the amazing staff of Dean, Chico, and Michele. I’ve never met more driven people who sincerely care and have a strong desire to help every single person succeed in their goals. They have a crazy amount of knowledge behind fitness and athletic training. I’ve personally been working out with Dean Bryan for 5 years now and throughout multiple injuries, he still managed to go above and beyond to create workouts that avoided my limitations but still kept me strong and in shape. HIGHLY recommend to any person of any age with ANY kind of fitness goal or even physical limitations.

I’ve never been one to “have fun” while working out, usually it’s something I dread, until I started working out at The Grind!!! Chico has totally changed my mentality about health and fitness and working out is something I look forward to every week now! The facility is always clean and a professional environment! I’m so so so glad I gave The Grind a chance!

I love working out with Joe. He is enthusiastic, upbeat and makes working out fun. He is encouraging and strives for me to do my best during every workout.
Joe put me through a series of exercises to assess my abilities and establish a starting point. From there was able to create an individualized workout that fit best for my desired results.. I highly recommend this facility and Joe as your personal trainer.

If you are looking for a place for your athletes, this is the place to go! Our kids are getting stronger and better! Thank you The Grind for helping our kids achieve their goals! Thank you Chico and Dean

Chico and his staff are great! I Hope all my boys hard work pays off this season.

Our daughter has been training with Chico for a couple of years and has been at The Grind since they opened. She’s an undersized middle, 5’ 10”, and playing a year up w/ 18’s on her VB team. As we’ve watched the season unfold her jumping has become more consistent and it seems higher!! (Waiting on verification at testing next week.). However it was pretty cool to watch her get a couple of blocks on 2 different D-1 recruits, Florida & Louisville, at a qualifier in Nashville last month!!

My 16u softball team attends the grind weekly- they absolutely love it and myself as a coach loves the time Chico and his team puts into each workout. He takes the time to explain the correct way to do each exercise which I appreciate because I see so many younger athletes working out with improper form. Chico pushes my girls and they are getting quicker and stronger each week. Thanks for all you do!

The best personal training in St. Louis. I’ve had many trainers in the past but never had this much attention and focus like I get at The Grind! I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and pain free!! Thanks to Chico and his amazing team!!

Mainly I’ve trained with Chico, but all of the trainers are excellent. They’re educated, always offer explanation about the targeted area of each exercise, and ready with a modification for those that need it. The facility is well-equipped and very clean. In all, these professionals are invested in those they are training. Their #1 priority is assisting clients in reaching their goals.

Great staff, very personable! Highly recommend!

If you’re looking to get better as an athlete or even just trying to get back in shape this is the place to do it!!! Chico is extremely knowledgeable and can personalize a program to get the results you’re looking for!!

Very dedicated staff that takes a personal interest in each athlete to achieve his/her goals.

Just want to give a huge thank you to Chico Orlando for being such a dedicated and experienced trainer! It’s almost been two years for me working out with you and I feel better every day! Over 70 pounds down I’m so thankful for your help. So if anyone is looking to lose weight and gain strength you should call the Grind!!

I recently signed up to train at the Grind, via a friends recommendation. The facilities are fantastic and incredibly clean. Chico is extremely motivational and does a great job ensuring proper form. I really enjoy the variety of workouts that he provides. I definitely recommend giving the Grind a try!

Chico is top notch. Anyone looking for someone to help better themselves look no further. For the past 5 years I’ve watched this man’s ambition and drive take him to the top. I recommend the grind for any athlete looking to take it to next level.

I love training at the grind and recommend it to everyone! The trainers are all very friendly and welcoming to all!

Great facility! Offers a variety of machines and things you can do. I would defiantly recommend going and giving it a try. You’ve got trainers there that care and know what they are doing.

This place is very energetic! Everyone is nice and helpful. I feel comfortable being here!

I have seen firsthand the transformation in the athletes from Lutheran South. If you are looking to take yourself to the next level, I highly recommend the Grind.

This place is amazing. The incredible dedication and personalization they give to each and every athlete, regardless of sport, is better than a lot of sport-specific places. The staff is great and the atmosphere is very inviting. Would recommend.

Chico is THE BEST! He has trained my two boys for over a year and both have gotten amazing results, along w that Chico has been a mentor to them and they both absolutely love him

Great staff, incredible workouts, clean and large facility!! Can’t say enough great things about this caring staff and amazing facility. Highly recommend.

Great facility and great trainers with a lot of knowledge that care a lot about their clients! Also have a great internship program!

The staff is amazing. Great atmosphere.

Great place for sport specific training. It’s next level and definitely what athlete’s need to excel in their particular sport. It’s a part of the process.

Everyone here is so kind! They really know their stuff and are great to work with. My son is 11 and has been working With Kenny for a couple of months and we have noticed a big improvement in his overall strength and confidence. If you need a great trainer Kenny is your guy!

Top individual and team sports training in the area for sure!

Abby has been working out at The Grind since spring and really enjoys the small group classes. As a soccer player, she likes the sport’s specific training that is incorporated into the workouts. Great facility and staff. They really care about the wellbeing and advancement of their athletes. Highly recommend!

THIS IS THE PLACE!!! Want to better yourself??? Do you want to be the first through the finish line?? Slam dunk that ball?? Jump further then your competition?? Out run that guy that wants to crush you, because you have that football??? Get ready for your dream wedding and honeymoon?? Even a mom/ grandma like me that wants to lose weight??Get healthy and live a full life?? WELL LOOK NO FURTHER !! Chico & Dean will help you like they are helping my daughter and I…Chico has a heart that wants everyone healthy and top in their game!! He makes you want it and he gives you all the tools you need to kick butt!!! Look no further!! Make tomorrow TODAY!!! THIS IS THE PLACE YOUR LOOKING FOR WITH GREAT PEOPLE THAT REALLY WANT WHAT’S BEST FOR YOU!!!

The Grind is a great place for athletes to improve their performance in their sport or for someone looking to shed a couple pounds to get their summer bods. I have been attending The Grind for roughly a month now and I work out 4 times a week. Each and every workout has been different and believe me, I have seen incredible results. Not to mention, the facility is HUGE and has state of the art equipment! And on top of the amazing facility, I would say the next best thing about The Grind would be the personal trainers. They are incredibly knowledgeable, make the workout fun, and they truly care about their clients. Go with The Grind and you will not be disappointed!

Athletes, it is not only your talent, but your physique- The Grind can help make that happen!
The Grind supports my son’s desire to make it to the next level in baseball. We currently have a daughter playing D1 volleyball and as a former D1 athlete I am aware of not only the talent but also the physique that coaches are searching for. The Grind will tailor a program just for you to help you make it to the next level. We are so glad we have committed to Grinding it Out!

Chico Orlando owner of The Grind goes above and beyond to make your experience fun and results driven. The Grind offers the latest equipment and techniques for improving your health. Whether you’re a beginner or a high performing athlete, you will appreciate the team and the facility. It is a definite game changer! Plus, the positive attitude of the staff is impeccable. Thanks for all you do!

The best find ever! It’s a welcoming non-competitive environment. Every trainer is kind, fun , professional and caring! They are attentive to the needs of each client working on their weakness . They concentrate on the goal each child hopes to reach in their sport .
Our son enjoys his personal training sessions 3 times week.
I just cannot say enough !!!!

If you’re looking to improve your game, this is the place for you.

Chico and Dean are the best! Definitely the best trainers around. They have helped me tremendously.

I really love working out at the grind it’s an awesome way to get all the stress out for the day!!! The staff is amazing very happy and motivating people, overall the grind has a special place in my life and is something i look forward to in my day!! It’s a killer and intense workout fit for you! no other place i’d rather GRIND at!!!!!!!

Great and very knowledgeable staff!

Great gym with great trainers!! Chico is the man! They can help you a ton with sports performance training! 5 stars a… More

This is one of the best hands on training facilities that I’ve ever been to! They actually care about the end result, not just out to make a quick buck but to build an actual relationship. Highly recommend Chico and the guys over at the grind!

I have been working out with Chico for a few months now and have seen huge improvements. Workouts are tailored to me, and the facility and location are great. Would highly recommend.

Chico and Dean are the best! Definitely the best trainers around. They have helped me tremendously.

Best place to workout. Kenny and Chico are the best. I would highly recommend working out here, it’s the best!

This is my absolute favorite place to work out at! The staff is friendly and they know what they’re talking about! HIGHLY recommend! Don’t bother going anywhere else!!

Being able to work out here has changed the way I look at sports. It puts a whole new perspective to being an athlete. It improves my intesity and my drive to succeed, as well as increasing my strenth and competetivness towards my sport. The leaders look at us and want us to get better and want us to push ourselves to our limits. They do this to make us the best people we could be. Im glad I get the chance to be able to work out here

My son and I love the Grind. He comes home from workouts extremely sweaty and always says that was a great workout! Love the small group size and the fact they keep it interesting. Chico is awesome, they care not only about the process but the person as well. Highly recommend

The staff is great. They are all athletes and former athletes that understand what it takes to be the best player you can be. I watch and see my son spending a lot of time working on the small things that I feel most trainers overlook. They start by performing a physical assessment of the athlete by running the athlete through a variety of physical tests to determine what areas need the most work. My son was weak in balance drills that involve a lot of ankle strength and stability. We didn’t even know that this was an area that needed work. They began working on his weaknesses day one. I have no doubt that The Grind is the best place for him.

This place is great I’ve seen big improvements in my game and I love it. I will continue to work with this organization to get better cause the grind don’t stop!!!

If you ever want to get in the best shape of your life I recommend coming here. By far the most up to date physical hands on staff around, they really do push you! (owner)

The Grind is a place where you go to be great. After every awesome workout with Chico i think of how much closer to success i am getting as well as bettering myself physically and mentally as an athlete. Dean, Chico, and Kenny go above and beyond to make sure each client is being the best they can be and achieve their goals at a quick, yet healthy pace. I’ve been going to The Grind since February and am up about 25 pounds, feeling way faster and way stronger. Definitely the best training facility in STL!!!

Great atmosphere to workout in and get better with the help of knowledgeable trainers! If you have a fitness goal of any kind, The Grind is where you need to be!

The Grind has an awesome facility and the environment is great! Always playing music and motivating you to be great. Dean and Chico really know what they are talking about and will adjust workouts to fit each individual. If you are looking for a place to train as an athlete or if you are looking to just get in shape this is a great place to go! 1 on 1 training, group training, and fitness classes are all offered here!

The Grind is easily my favorite place to work out. Dean and Chico have created an extremely fun and educational environment that allows any person to make themselves better. Whether you’re an athlete or just looking to get back in shape I would definitely recommend coming in and checking it out! Plus your first session is always free!

Awesome place to workout! The environment at The grind is fun & enjoyable. Chico & Dean are super motivated and interested in their clients goals & progress! Highly recommended for anyway trying to lose weight, get stronger, or anyone just trying to better themselves physically! (:

Great place with great staff! I am incredibly sore after each work out (good thing) so I know I am being challenged. Highly recommend for anyone! If you are an athlete looking to improve your performance or just a person looking to shed a couple pounds, then look no further, The Grind is the perfect place for you!

Our daughter competes in a niche sport where off ice training is critical. She had struggled with finding a local trainer. After meeting Chico through friends, she couldn’t wait for him to set up shop at The Dome and hasn’t looked back! Chico immersed himself in learning what her sport requires and tailors her program to meet those needs. He inspires her to be her best in sport/life by emphasizing the importance of all aspects: fitness, nutrition, recovery, focus, and attitude. She finished her season with PRs in all distances. Thanks Chico, you’re the best!!

I’ve been working out with Chico for a about a month now. I’m absolutely loving the way I feel other than being sore, but that means we’ve been working! Chico understands that I came from not knowing anything other than cardio so he paciently explains and builds me up as weeks go on.

If you are looking for a a great place to turn yourself into the best you there is this is the place. The grind is ran by two people who are very motivating and push you each and everyday. I have worked out with my chico for the past year and he is the best there is. Not only does he motivate you to be healthy and more fit bit also motivates you to be a better person all around. I have only known dean for about a year but he is the same, always giving good advice and helping everyone in every way he can. I also did the weight loss challenge and the workouts and motivation from that was great. The grind to me is more like one team of people trying to help everyone around them be better. If your interested in a better life this is the place for you

This place is a most go to if u are ready to live life to the fullest!!! The Grind is a great place to workout!!! But honestly I have to say the thing that makes the Grind the best place is the trainers, Chico Orlando and Dean Bryan are amazing! Last year I found out I was pregnant and was so afraid bc I was already super over weight! So I tried my best and luckily my perfect baby boy and I were healthy the whole time. But 2 months ago I was so out of shape and gained more weight then when I was pregnant. I knew something had to change. Luckily I found Chico and the Grind. He knew and understood just how badly out of shape I was. so he started me slow and just in these 2 months my life is already changing. I’m down 22 pounds and I can move. so all I can say is if I can do it so can anyone. I could have never done it without the grind and a special thanks to chico!

Dean Bryan goes above and beyond in the interest of his clients. He has a superior background in his knowledge of personal training and athletic training and knows how to work with individuals according to their needs. He works very well with athletes and has personally helped me improved more in my physical capabilities and even mental challenges than I ever could on my own. He not only helps push me further but he educates me on the why and how process of each movement in the exercise. He genuinely cares about helping each person regardless of busy schedules and will go out of his way to help his clients. I highly recommend this to any individual of any age looking to improve their fitness on a whole new grind.

I will be headed into my 3rd month at The Grind tomorrow. I could not be happier with my progress. As a busy husband and father of 7 children, Chico Orlando and Dean Bryan have worked within my capabilities and brought me around to the point where I am extremly excited to see where the next block of training takes us. It is great to aww the scale going down, to feel flexible, to not ache, and to actually feel strong again. I cannot thank them enough for the very personalized attention that they provide during our short 1 hour sessions. They help hold me accountable to not only getting the work in, but to insure that the work gets done the proper way. I could not recommend them any higher. Go see them and get your Grind on!!

I can honestly say that I had never truly “lifted” weights, until I started working with Coach Bryan and The Grind. Each time I train with him, I can feel myself getting stronger both physically and mentally. When we workout he pushes me to my max and demands my best, every rep, every set, every time. I believe that my game has evolved, unlocking the next level of potential that I am capable of achieving and I attribute this to all of the work Coach Bryan has done with me in the weight room as well as on the field. Coach continues to push me to be great in the weight room as well as on the field. He has a genuine concern for me as an athlete and a person. I am very fortunate and thankful to have him as a trainer. If you want to take your game to the next level I highly recommend you go train at The Grind. You will see your game elevated and you will not leave the same as you came

I have been training at The Grind for about 5 months and they are some of the best trainers I’ve ever had. I trained mostly with Chico Orlando and Joe Lasky but all the staff is amazing and super nice. Chico trained me and focused on my footwork and endurance. Joe trained me and focused more on strength, explosiveness and football skills. I walked in to The Grind having a goal of being ready for my first college football season. The Grind put me in better shape than I could have even imagined.
5 stars and one of the best gyms in St Louis.

My daughter started at The Grind in April of this year after having surgery on her knee for a lateral meniscus tear. It has been absolutely the best for her overall strength and conditioning. Before she started, her quads and muscle tone had diminished from not being able to play sports for 8 months and her knee was tight when walking. From day one Chico (and Dean & Brittany) not only did great workouts and conditioning with her but also spoke to her about what they were going to be doing with her workout wise, why they were doing these workouts, what muscles they wanted to hit, and what to expect. Chico has worked around her heavy softball travel schedule, practice schedule, batting schedule, and pitching schedule and has made things work every time. It’s been nothing short of an amazing experience since becoming a part of the The Grind Fitness. We drive an hour to get to his facility but have no problem doing so because of the passion and effort they put into their clients.

I have seen first-hand the transformation in the athletes from Lutheran South. If you are looking to take yourself to the next level, I highly recommend the Grind.

Being able to work out here has changed the way I look at sports. It puts a whole new perspective to being an athlete. It improves my intensity and my drive to succeed, as well as increasing my strenth and competitiveness towards my sport.

Im glad I get the chance to be able to work out here

Three months ago I started going to The Grind and working one on one with Dean. I always put working out on the back burner due to working two jobs and telling myself that I wasn’t going to be able to do the things asked of me because of my back/hip problems. I finally convinced myself that my health was more important than those excuses. Today, I have more energy than I have had in a long time and have so much more confidence in myself. The trainers at The Grind make it a point to make you feel comfortable, they want to see you succeed, and feel better about yourself. The only thing I regret is not joining sooner!!

Best personal training in STL, the workouts are personalized for your needs, and they leave you barely walking when you’re done.

The Grind is an amazing place. The trainers are all amazing, and it’s a great time to train there. They have also helped me get stronger and quicker. I highly recommend that you train here and see for yourself just how good they are.

The Grind is a one stop shop for all your fitness needs. Every trainer that steps out on that floor goes out there with the intention of providing the highest quality training session to their members. Chico Orlando is my personal trainer recommendation!

Great gym! I highly recommend the personal trainer program.

The Grind is unlike any gym or fitness center I have been to. Private and team training where they really take the time to get to know what all of there clients need. Very professional, great trainers and very affordable. Definitely will recommend to friends.

I’ve been working out with Dean at The Grind for a few years. I’ve had a few injuries due to sports and Dean has been able to help tremendously with those. The Grind is a friendly and great place to work out. All the trainers are very nice and helpful. I feel like I have gotten a lot stronger and each workout is different so I never get tired of doing the same thing, which is great. Absolutely love working out here!!

My wife (who has been with Chico for years), has always told me that I should have him be my trainer. I have MS and had been working with a trainer thru MoBap. I was concerned that Chico may not be to know the right exercises to work on my balance. After working with Chico for a couple of times, there was no doubt in my mind that I made the right decision to switch. It is an awesome facility, with room for them to grow. It is great to see the younger teams sport working with all the trainers to help the kids improve their flexibility and strength.

As an athlete at The Grind it has helped me a lot. I have been playing soccer for 14 years and I have been going to the grind for about 1 year now. In that little period I got stronger on the field and more confident in myself. The staff there is amazing. The workouts always change, and you never get bored. My arm strength has improved A LOT since I started going, and even some of my soccer teammates joined with me! The Grind is also great for teams of any sport. I am so so so very thankful that I found The Grind. Every day I continue to grow at an athlete. I recommend this place 10/10!

The Grind has the most friendly staff ever! I walked in for the first time and I felt that I had been there for over a month! The trainers work hard for you to make sure that your progress is their main priority and not to mention the facility is perfect for athletes. Every workout is different every day, I don’t think I’ve done the same exercise twice (besides main exercises such as squat, clean, etc.). Most dearly recommend to all athletes trying to become stronger, faster, and an overall better athlete.

Love working out here, all the trainers make it personal & push you to meet your goals. I saw results within the first month of going. Their all star team of trainers always make it entertaining, and also very productive, 10/10 recommend.

The training here is amazing. Many of the trainers used to be high level athletes like , Joe Lasky, Brittany Krodinger, and Chico Orlando. They have high quality equipment and an awesome schedule. Each day of the week focuses on a different set of muscle groups like Tuesdays might be a upper pull lower push, Wednesday a full body conditioning burn out, and then Thursday a upper push lower pull. I also love that they include a recovery day where you stretch and prepare for your muscles to recover and rebuild. If you are serious about reaching your athletic goals, then the grind is definitely where you need to be.

My workouts with Chico are awesome! The Grind has a great environment for everyone. Definitely the best in STL! Highly recommend.

You will not find a more qualified expert for personal training anywhere else than at The Grind! Chico is the very best! No matter what your strengths-weaknesses are, he can give your body exactly what it needs in a workout to correct all the imbalances. My body feels so good after a workout with him. I am a massage therapist , so from working all day , my upper body was always sore . I didn’t have proper form in my own workouts or the correct exercises that I needed . He’s given me that! He’s helped me to know what I need to do on my own in keeping my shoulders strong and stable!

My teenage son (now in high school) has been going here for a couple of years. The trainers are very encouraging, professional and you really get your money’s worth. They are very knowledgeable. My son has built solid muscles, but without injury due to not relying on just heavy weights.

Best gym in St. Louis! Friendly staff and great place to work out.

Dean was a trainer of mine when I was a football player. He helped me get into the best shape of my life, with positive reinforcement (regrettably rare in competitive college sports!) and superior understanding of exercise science. Best trainer I’ve ever had!

My daughter’s 12U softball team and the coaches (myself included) did a 14 week program. We opened it up to siblings as well and had a total of 18 people. It was awesome. Couldn’t have been happier. Next year, I’m extending it by at least 4 weeks. It was a great workout but it was done safely and in a way that didn’t risk injury to the girls. The trainers are great. Dean was always willing to help and even sent me some drills and tools to incorporate into my practice. Definitely can’t wait to get back to it!

The trainers are so great with my kids that have taken quite a few of their classes and always have fun and get a good workout at the same time!

Trained with Joe for a couple months and made big leaps in strength and speed. Friendly and knowledgeable staff that know how to get you to your goal.

I can’t express how much I love this place! I’ve worked out here for about 3 years now. I started training with my softball team, then joined Grind Athlete, and now private training. I’ve mainly had Joe as my strength coach, he’s awesome. I really appreciate how every work out is purposeful and thoughtfully programmed for my sport and position. I clearly see the progress I’ve made becoming faster and stronger. They also focus on flexibility and mobility to be an overall athlete. Joe and all the trainers/staff have made The Grind such a positive and welcoming environment while pushing and motivating me to reach my highest potential. It’s clear they care about my success in and out of the gym by checking in frequently. I feel I’ve grown confidence physically and mentally after training here. The facility and equipment are excellent. I could go on and on, I highly recommend!!!

I got started going to The Grind by a friend who wanted to work out together. We trained with Dean for a few weeks and then Covid forced them to close. I then started virtual workouts with Brittney and have been virtual ever since for my convenience when traveling. Brittney designs the workouts to be just hard enough to make me feel like I am making progress but not so sore that I can’t move the next day. I look forward to my workouts and am feeling stronger. Highly recommend The Grind.

I have had a great time while at the grind training with Brittany! It’s a very welcoming environment that everyone should feel comfortable in. I am pushed to do my best and improve each time I come. I’m am already seeing physical and mental improvements just from the few months I have been coming!

Highly recommended for both team training & personal training! I have had the opportunity to work with Chico, Dean & Brittany – All of them are great. Kutis Soccer Club has been going to The Grind for the past three off seasons. The trainers and programs push the boys each year and they continue to gain speed and strength for any sport. This past winter my son attended personal training with Brittany, she did a great job developing and implementing a plan to push my son. The staff also took extra measures to ensure everyone was safe during covid.

Very fun and familiar atmosphere. They push you to your limits, but don’t give you more than you can handle. Very good experience!

The Grind is the by far the best training facility and program I have ever been a part of. Top notch trainers who actually care about their clients and even check in on them outside of the weight room. In a short time doing one on ones with Joe, I have increased my lifts immensely. You will leave The Grind feeling dead, sweaty, and accomplished.

Started coming here in January this year and I love it! Brittany K is my trainer and she’s always so positive & helpful during the workouts, even when I’m grouchy in the mornings!! I live about 40 minutes away but I definitely don’t mind making the drive because it’s worth it! The staff is beyond friendly and welcoming and they always remember your name. Definitely recommend coming here!

My husband and I started personal training at the Grind with Brittney in January and my daughter does team training, and we could not be any happier. Brittney is always welcoming when we get there in the morning and motivates and pushes us throughout our workout. I was new to working out and Brittney is great at explaining everything and making me feel more comfortable and confident. We look forward to our two days a week and would recommend The Grind to anyone looking for a great overall experience.

The staff is very friendly and I always feel welcome, I highly recommend personal training. Chico is very knowledgeable and encouraging. I always look forward to my training sessions!

They really put hard work and determination on another level. I am grateful to have heard about them and I wouldn’t have wanted anybody else to help me with my rehabilitation.

Hands down . . . without a doubt . . . the absolute BEST place to get fit and strong . . . every trainer at the Grind loves what they do. If you want to step up your performance, loose a few lbs, or just enhance your workout. . . this is the place to do it.

I became a member a month ago and love it! All of the staff is extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. The facility is spacious and the equipment is top notch. Shout out to my personal trainer Brittany M.!

Great place for a personal trainer. We work with Brittany and she is great. She pushes us to do better but does it in a way that is so positive. Everyone at the facility is so friendly. I have never felt out of place at The Grind or like I was being judged. Everyone is so encouraging.

A couple months ago I started training with Joe from The Grind Fitness. Joe has helped me a lot, and taught me how to be strong and how to be mentally prepared and strong. I started the grind being barley able to lift decent weight. A couple months later and I can lift decent weight and I can lift heavier weight. He has also helped me with football. Joe helps working on mechanics for linemen and it really shows cause I have improved and I can still go more. That’s why I highly recommend this place because it is life changing.

I’ve been at The Grind for about 3 weeks now and I seriously enjoy being a part of such a wonderful community! Ashley never fails to greet me and others on a first name basis, and I genuinely feel she has had a huge part in making The Grind feel friendly and inviting. They only want the best for you!! Brittany and Dean are great motivators who make me want to commit harder to bettering myself. They make me want to show up, set goals, and work hard. I love my small group class workouts. I can’t help but have a dopey smile on my face because I am having FUN!

Three months ago I started going to The Grind and working one on one with Dean. I always put working out on the back burner due to working two jobs and telling myself that I wasn’t going to be able to do the things asked of me because of my back/hip problems. I finally convinced myself that my health was more important than those excuses. Today, I have more energy than I have had in a long time and have so much more confidence in myself. The trainers at The Grind make it a point to make you feel comfortable, they want to see you succeed, and feel better about yourself. The only thing I regret is not joining sooner!!

Best personal training in STL, the workouts are personalized for your needs, and they leave you barely walking when you’re done.

I have been going to the grind just a little over 8 months now. The first 4 and a half months was team training with crossfire working with Joe on the weekdays and Brittany on the weekends. During that time it was fun all around and even being in a group setting you could always get the right help to get better. After team training, I continued doing one on one training with Joe for volleyball and I have been doing that for about 3 and a half months. I have seen great progress in my skill level and overall health. I highly recommend The Grind. The space and atmosphere they create is very welcoming. The workouts are personalized so that you can work to the best of your abilities. I feel like if there’s something specific I want to work on Joe would get me there and help me in every way he can. Overall, I think The Grind is a good place to go and get better in every way shape or form.

I used to be a Gold’s Gym and Club fitness gal. Once gold’s gym closed it’s doors for good I was looking for a new place to meet my fitness goals and to fight the “Covid 15Lb.” My friend’s introduced me to The Grind Fitness. And am I so glad they did! I attend their Small group classes about 3-5 days a week. The quality of my workouts are 100x better then I received at Club fitness or Gold’s gym group classes. The trainers are very alert and always make sure everyone has proper form as to not cause injuries. I myself have a bum shoulder and horrible tendinitis in both of my hands/wrists. And the trainers are always coming up with creative alternatives for me so I can keep up with my class! If you are looking for a new gym with a highly knowledgeable and friendly staff that knows you by name, please give The Grind Fitness a try!

I have truly enjoyed my experience at The Grind, and I would highly recommend! I trained with Dean, and I always knew that he truly cared about me and my development as an athlete and a person. He was always motivating me to the be the best while also providing incredible knowledge on strength training and tips for injury preventions. The workouts were specialized to fit my needs and areas where I could improve. The environment was super positive and everyone was so welcoming! The staff members were professional, supportive, and dedicated to their work. I have really appreciated all that Dean and the rest of the staff has done for me in helping me reach my highest potential!

I highly recommend the Grind!! I worked in a group training setting with Dean as our coach. Dean always pushed us to be better and provided helpful insight, encouragement, and brought a positive mindset to each workout. All of the staff at the Grind is so dedicated and supportive. They are one big family and support/cheer you on no matter what. They really care about the athletes and their development.

Our son has been going to the Grind for a little over 6 months now and the strides he has made with the program have been tremendous. All of the trainers are professional and personable and motivate your athlete to push themselves. The Youth Athlete program offers great flexibility in scheduling with multiple slots though-out the week. The only regret was not getting him into the program sooner but it’s never too late. Looking forward to the continued growth!

This is a must go to gym! Not only do you get a good work out in but trainers and staff are incredible. Feels like a little family. If you are looking for a gym look no further. Small group or personal training is the way to go!

We love this place! I especially love that they don’t make you sign a contract and you can cancel anytime, due to busy schedules. I highly recommend this place for a young athletes!!

I love working out at the Grind. All the trainers are great and personalize work outs to fit what you need. I love working with Chico to get me in shape for my soccer season!

I do the online personal training with Dean and I couldn’t be happier. I was particularly impressed with the time he took at the beginning of my program to understand any injuries I had or limitations, as well as my training goals. Dean has an incredible knowledge of strength training and it seems like an infinite mental library of exercise variations. If I ever need to swap out exercises because of a lack of equipment, he has an equivalent movement ready to go. The Grind uses an app that makes it easy to follow my workout schedule and it keeps the full history of reps/weights for each exercise.

Top Notch establishment! Always so helpful and friendly! Definitely recommend!

Tyler and the Grind trainers are absolutely great! Very friendly and professional! Tyler is great with my son (7) and daughter (6). He is very knowledgeable and knows how to cater to their ages/needs!

The 7th grade Jr. Warriors had an amazing time working with the trainers at The Grind and my son loves participating in the Youth Athlete training classes. He has definitely seen improvement in his performance since starting there in January. Thank you to Chico, Tyler and the rest of The Grind staff.
