I've been lifting weights here for almost 20 years, and it's one of the smartest things I've ever done! It's a fundamental part of my live long and prosper plan!

I just started working out here a couple of months ago. My previous Super Slow center closed after I had been with my trainer for 10 years. Right down the block is Bodle's Fitness. I gave them a call and started working out with them. I work out with Katie, but have also had Bill, the owner, when Katie wasn't available. I'm so happy I found them! They take Covid seriously. Everyone washed their hands before and after a workout; masks required; no more than two clients allowed at a time. They do "cadence counting" for each exercise... and boy do my muscles get a thorough

Great personal training facility! Love my trainer Deb Broder. She always goes above and beyond to taylor and personalize my work out routine to better suit my needs. Hours are flexible and super slow method is used. I have been going here for a little over a year and have seen a tremendous increase in both strength and energy.
