Reviews

Real results

★★★★★

“Chris helped me immensely. I have arthritis in my neck and it really bothered me while skiing. PT at ortho facility wasn’t helping. Last Fall Chris showed me how to strengthen my arms (on his equipment) to take pressure off of my neck/shoulder and it worked! I noticed a huge difference when skiing this season!”

★★★★★

“When we started, I could not do a straight leg raise off his table. Years of contact sports, being a professional farrier, and ranch work had broken me. Chronic pain and weakness had left me desperate, sitting in an easy chair and unable to do the things I love. Chris changed all of that.”

“This is a great small workout center...not full of clanging weights. It is clean and quiet with plenty of top-level equipment. … One of Bozeman’s best-kept secrets!”
