As someone who wasnt super athletic and used to dread going to the gym, SureFire Fitness is a great opportunity to jumpstart your exercise routine! The workouts varied and were very fun and easy to get into that I just kept coming back. Jeff and his team are an amazing group that can really help you meet your fitness goals if you are willing to put in the work. The atmosphere is very welcoming and everyone Ive met has also kept me motivated!

A fantastic experience. Jeff is one of the most capable and knowledgeable trainers I've ever worked with. The workouts are fun, challenging, and intense. And you'll never get bored. After a month of classes I don't think I did the same exercise twice, apart from the standard strength training stuff, and I can tell I'm in overall better shape. Like any gym, you get out of it what you put into it, but SureFire is great for any fitness level.

I like that I feel okay here to go at my own pace and not compete with others - both within a single session as well as over the long-term. You can go and be really intense about your fitness and seek immediate goals, or you can go just to stay active and not necessarily have any immediate goals. I also appreciate there is no negativity, but it's also not the other end of the spectrum by being weirdly over-the-top positive like some other places I've experienced. :)

I was not someone who enjoyed working out, and I was definitely NOT someone interested in doing competitive, all-out classes like CrossFit. The adult PE perspective of Surefire got me to go, and the community and the instructors got me hooked. The atmosphere is so much fun, and the classes have gotten me to do things I never would have thought I was capable of. Theyll meet you where you are and help you meet whatever goals you have for yourself! Also, the instructors get to know the people in their class and care about them so much. They are truly good people who are there to help you

We've tried other ninja classes for our kids, and we think this one is the best! It's like American Ninja Warrior for kids! Every week is different, and our kids come home sweaty and happy. Great whole-body and coordination training for young athletes.
