Artis Strength and Fitness is friendly and welcoming. I just moved to Nebraska from Michigan and I was in search of a friendly, upbeat gym that could meet my fitness goals and needs. Artis did just that! I love the community of people that I have met in such a short amount of time. I highly recommend Artis Strength and Fitness to anyone looking to stay active and join a fun, supportive community of individuals.

Wanted to write a much needed review about Artis Gym... I recently traveled to Omaha for work and needing a gym that taught early AM classes that were similar to Crossfit for about 5-7days. The gym owner/main trainer was out of town on vacation, but took the time to email me back quickly and gave me a very generous weekly rate. I came early on my first day and met two guys in the gym. Both were welcoming and gave me a tour, even though neither were coaches. When I came back the next day, they even remembered my name! The gym equipment is up to date and in very good condition. The building is

As a former athlete who had been going through the motions when it came to my workouts, I am happy I found Artis Strength and Fitness. I enjoy the workouts, people, and results I have found since joining. I am in the best shape since my college soccer days! Also, major props for the Covid-conscious class sizes and gym cleanliness.

Artis is everything a gym should be. It is not just a gym filled with members it is a gym filled with friends. It has knowledgeable and friendly coaches who only want what's best for you. The members are friendly, accepting and willing to go out of their way to help. Artis provides multiple events throughout the year that give members a chance to give back to their community. The people and environment make you never want to miss a workout! Artis is the gym I have spent years looking for and I'm so happy I found it.
