CenterPointe

I’m not going to lie. I don’t love working out, but CenterPointe has figured out a way to make me want to push towards my fitness goals, even if I’m complaining the entire time. The team at CenterPointe is down to earth and easy to work with. There is no time wasted while you are there.
I went in at the beginning of the year wanting to lose weight for my wedding and have continued on with the gym way past my wedding date. If there wasn’t so much encouragement, as well as results, I would’ve taken off my wedding dress and stopped paying my monthly fee.
Instead I’m still heading in and I feel good about it each time. Even at 7 in the morning.
Join this gym.

Some time ago I attended a Free Community Workout at CenterPointe and found the studio to be clean, rough, humble, conducive for a training, and staffed by very friendly and welcoming folks.
The head coach (M.B.) walked the talk of being a genuine athlete and was very kind to share many valuable insights on what it takes to achieve one’s goals through functional movements.
She had us do various sets of exercises while motivating each and every one to give their best at utilizing their full capacity.
I had a terrific and sweaty time! Would highly recommend the place to all those who are interested in smaller groups with more attentive, personalized, motivational workouts.

May Bend, head coach at CenterPointe, has helped me to improve my health with her nutrition counseling and coaching. When I began with her three months ago my primary goal was to lose weight while becoming more fit, and that has definitely happened: so far I’ve lost 22 pounds and become stronger rather than losing muscle mass. I’m not fond of exercise and have avoided it most of my life, however I like both the mental and physical results, and May’s teaching and encouragement is integral to me having the will to continue challenging workouts on a consistent basis. She shows great patience with me as a beginner fumbling around the with gym equipment and not remembering how to properly perform various exercises. In the past when I have tried to lift weights on my own or with other less skilled trainers I’ve been unfocused or injured myself and quit. May’s expertise in gauging how much weight I can handle and her vigilant feedback on my form while exercising has prevented that from happening again, and I’m thrilled about it.
I anticipate relying on her even more for feedback and accountability after I reach my weight goal to help me to form new, specific fitness goals and habits which will keep me from re-​gaining the weight and on track for improvement in other areas. She is inspiring in that she tells stories about her own life to try to illustrate the benefits of healthy choices and sometimes the consequences of not doing so.
I’ve also done personal training several times with CenterPointe’s co-​owner, Amy Keys, and she is excellent as well.

May Bend and Amy Keys have created an amazing studio designed for all fitness levels. I started with May about one year ago with limited abilities due to poor knees. Methodically, May has built up my strength, flexibility, endurance, and — most importantly — my confidence. With her coaching, I can run, squat, and power lift, which I find amazing and fun.
A few of the things I find most remarkable about CenterPointe are:
Knowledge — all of the coaches have detailed knowledge of a variety of exercises and routines with work-​arounds for sore areas.
Precision — the coaches watch every move and make small adjustments to maximize performance and results, while minimizing the threat of injury.
Programming — May plans the routines a month in advance to bring the athletes along in the their skills and strengths. New skills naturally appear.
Mix of Personal Training and Classes — both are fun, motivating, and progress naturally. Classes are small which leads to a lot of camaraderie.
Atmosphere — the studio is small and personal with all the equipment and space necessary to optimize training and fun.
Overall, this is the best training environment I have ever seen. Definitely five stars!

May Bend has been my «on again, off again» trainer for several years; pulling me out of the banks of a serious hip injury, re-​igniting my workout motivation and reminding me that I’m never too busy to take care of myself, nursing me back to health after a foot injury from a car crash all while prepping me for my wedding, and continually motivating me when once again I’ve become too busy. May and Amy build strength, flexibility, confidence, endurance and knowledge to each of their trainees. I feel supported, encouraged, and excited each time I walk into the studio, even if it’s been too long since I’ve been there.
May and Amy are a fantastic duo, pushing themselves and the people they work with to achieve their best. They are living examples of the enthusiasm, tenacity and perseverance they expect from their members.
