I would highly recommend MECA. The staff and facilities are top notch. I came to MECA to help strengthen my past and current injuries. Leanne has been rehabbing me slowly, back to being able to move better and feeling great. She is so attentive and knowledgeable. Leanne teaches you proper technique and ensures you keep perfect form throughout your training session. She is very patient and personable. If you are someone with injuries or anyone who wants to feel good and get into shape, do yourself a favor and join MECA.

Getting up at 5am
Never felt so good! I have finally found a gym that makes me feel like I can strengthen my muscles without getting hurt. My chiropractor recommended Meca gym to me after having neck issues, at that time I could not lift my mattress to make our bed. My personal trainer Mitch Berger has been an amazing asset in accomplishing my goals of not only losing body fat but strengthening the muscles to correct my neck. He makes my workout interesting every week so I do not get bored, while explaining the areas we will be targeting. The workout is definitely Physical, yet I cannot believe

I have been working out at MECA for about three years. My current trainer is Sean. I have my share of infirmities, but Sean designs the workout to either improve those infirmities or work around them. I have a five year old Thoroughbred that I ride and I could not do that if I hadn't started training at MECA. Sean has worked on my core and legs so that I can ride strong. I enjoy life so much more now that I strength train.

MECA training is the best individual training programs I have ever been a part of. I am a college football player who had a knee injury and I came to MECA post season for two weeks in hopes of only strengthening my upper body. I worked with John and the results were outstanding. I not only lost 3% body fat, but I also returned to school in the best shape of my life. John rehabed my knee back healthy and i gained a significant amount of strength, stability, and confidence in my knee to be able to perform at a high level. The program is created specifically to you and your body type and every session
