Joining CTS is one of the best decisions I have made. This is not just a gym it's a family. Everyone (yes I mean everyone) is welcoming and provide support even when you feel at your most vulnerable. Those in your group cheer you on and keep you motivated. The coaching staff is awesome and provide challenging workouts all while altering movements to meet your needs. If you're considering CTS don't hesitate. This gym is hands down the best!

When I work out at CTS I feel like I can conquer the world, I feel invincible. I have never felt this way working out at other places. I started CTS in 2016, wanting to lose some weight. I was immediately addicted to the workouts. My life was changed for the better. Not only did I lose weight but I gained confidence, self love, new lifestyle and so many life long friends. I also was member of the month for August 2016. There is zero judgement, only unlimited member support. The day I started CTS was one of the best decisions of my life. Come and join us!!!!

The team of trainers are positive, fun and professional. The friendly atmosphere makes it easy to fit in whether you are a beginner just getting started or long time member. I highly, highly recommend CTS for both student athletes and adults.
