Here's How We Can Help

  • Individualized Program Design

Every client will start with a complimentary strategy session. During this session we will build your individualized fitness roadmap. You must ask yourself where do I want to go?

Using this approach of “starting with the end in mind” gives us the picture to be able to work backwards and figure out where you need to be at the halfway point, a month into the program, and all the way down to what do you need to do today? We also refer to this as a big picture thinking. 

E-Motion Fitness takes the approach of starting with the big picture and breaking it down into actionable steps for you to take today. A fitness program should reflect the specific goal or goals that you are trying to achieve and the exact steps you need to take to achieve them.

  • Custom Training

Never wonder what to do in the gym or how to do it again!

We will walk you through a simple movement assessment and use that info, plus your personal goals, to create a custom plan that includes strength, mobility, stability, core work, and metabolic conditioning in a way that is right for you.

You will meet with a coach weekly who will train you on your ever-progressing program.

  • Group Sessions

Boost your cardio and enhance your strength in our high energy group classes that BURN calories and BUILD lean muscle.

These classes will set your metabolism on fire in a supportive community of high fives and positivity.

  • women’s health & wellness

We know the unique challenges women are facing in today’s world. We understand women’s struggles with diet culture (e.g. restricting calories and overeating, emotional eating, diet hopping etc.).

We understand and are prepared to coach women in the areas of social media comparison, self doubt, lack of confidence, guilt, shame and body image.

At E-Motion Fitness we will help you change your relation with food and show you the behavior patterns around it. We will education women on the importance of food and its ability to fuel you versus it becoming the focus of your life.

As a female veteran, I can't express enough how much E-Motion Fitness has positively impacted my life. This gym isn't just a fitness center; it's a supportive community of strong, inspiring women who understand the unique challenges we face. The camaraderie here is reminiscent of the sisterhood I experienced in the military, and it's been instrumental in helping me regain my physical and mental strength. Emotion Fitness is more than a gym; it's a place where empowerment and transformation happen every day. I encourage all women, especially veterans like me, to join this incredible community and rediscover their inner warrior.
