I have been working out with a personal trainer since the gym opened. It is clean and well lit with a great selection of weights and machines. The atmosphere is positive and the staff and patrons are friendly and encouraging. There are personal trainers with personalities for many different people with different goals to succeed. I would highly recommend Grind Heart Fitness.

My husband and I have been going to GrindHeart Fitness weekly for the past 8 months, training with Brandon Sutton. The gym is clean, quiet and has top of the line equipment.

But what really sets this gym experience apart from others is the people who work there. Speaking from personal experience, Brandon is the best—he is kind, he is patient, he is knowledgeable, and he is incredibly thoughtful in the workouts he programs for his clients. He has specific reasons for every exercise he asks you to perform, and those reasons always align with client goals. He is attentive and gives 100 percent of himself to his clients at every single session. I look forward to my twice weekly workouts with Brandon, even if I struggle to use my arms and legs the next day, and I have never felt better.

Highly recommend checking this gym out, whether it’s for their group classes or for private sessions.

Grind Heart is a great gym with top-of-the-line equipment. The classes are excellent - offering an ideal balance between strength and endurance, where it doesn't feel episodic and each workout is uniquely different from the next.

The trainers are amazing as well - during each class they work with you on your form to make sure you're doing it properly.

They put a lot of effort into building a community here and it shows in the friendly atmosphere and supportive environment.

I can't recommend Grind Heart enough!

I've been going to GrindHeart Fitness weekly for the past 5 months, and I can't recommend it enough! This locally-owned gym has such a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. The space is beautiful, well-maintained, clean, and has everything you need for a great workout.

A huge shoutout to Coach Liv, the personal trainer who has really pushed me along my fitness journey. Her workouts are fun, diverse, and always challenging in the best way. I have never done the same workout twice. Coach Liv listens to what you want to achieve and drives you in a way that feels motivating, not overwhelming.

If you're looking for a place where you'll feel like part of a community and get personalized attention that truly makes a difference, this is the gym for you. Highly recommend checking it out!

I debated posting this review because candidly I like to gatekeep the gems I find, but discovering Grind Heart has been one of my 2024 blessings. Having recently moved to the area from NYC, it had been a struggle finding a suitable gym given the numerous options I had available to me in NY. Having trained for years at my neighborhood Equinox in addition to a boutique gym, I wanted to find a place that had both high quality equipment and Trainers, but also a community feel, like-minded clientele, and generally just a good vibe. Enter Grind Heart: Everything I had in NY, but without any of the pretentiousness. The space itself is both aesthetically pleasing and pristine, and when I went for an initial tour I met with CJ who was disarming & attentive, and really listened to what my fitness goals were in order to match me with the perfect Trainer. After my first session, I knew this was my spot. It’s been a few months now; I love it here and look forward to continuing my Grind Heart journey in 2025.

I have been a member of Grind Heart Fitness since it's opening. The gym is immaculate with all the latest machines. The group classes are challenging and rewarding. All of the trainers are highly qualified and take pride in everything they do. Thank you Brandon for creating such a fantastic community!

Extremely disappointed to find out after recently joining this gym open floor format no circumstances are we able to bring any type of guests, including visiting family members from out of town. We offered to pay a daily fee, but apparently there are no exceptions to this rule.

Went to visit this gym with my family who were members. We were told by one of the staff that they don’t allow guests, but that he should be able to make something work. All 3 of us started our workouts to then 15 minutes later after already starting our routines to be told to wait at the front because the owner doesn’t allow guests or single day passes. To allow all of us to start our workouts and then have us ripped off machines in the middle of our workout after already starting is insane. My family immediately canceled their memberships. Even after offering money for a day pass, they weren’t interested. Then when we talked to Brandon, he said he doesn’t offer day passes cause he doesn’t want the gym to get too full. The gym was at 5% occupancy when we were there. Well buddy, you are nailing it! Memberships canceled 🙌

I was gonna post a story on my Instagram @BryanHawnArtist and tag the gym but I guess having over 1 million followers see your business would be terrible since you don’t want it to get too full 🤡

I'm so glad that Grind Heart opened in my neighborhood. It's a great gym with state-of-the-art equipment and challenging classes! Brandon and his team do a terrific job keeping the workouts varied and helping each individual member, with plenty of encouraging words offered throughout. Everyone is treated like an athlete, and the members all support each other as well. I'd highly recommend Grind Heart if you're looking to up your fitness game in a great atmosphere that keeps you coming back.

I enjoy training with Angela. She challenges me to work hard but always with proper form. I have increased my muscle mass and reduced fat. I am also stronger than ever! I look forward to our sessions and to continuing my fitness journey.

This is a hidden gem. High end professional equipment, clean, good (not sleazy) crowd - just people putting in the work and getting back to their day. Love this place.

Trainer, Will S. Is amazing! Really takes the time to make sure you are using the equipment correctly and not to hurt yourself. Will helped me lose 70lbs and I felt amazing! Yes, it was a lot of work but Will pushes you and makes you want to succeed! If I couldn’t do a certain exercise, he didn’t make me feel bad because I couldn’t do it like the fit person could. He helped me do what I could and I will be forever grateful for him!

I have had the best experience working with Brandon West and the other trainers at Grind Heart. Im coming back from a knee injury and the trainers have really listened to me and tailor the exercises to specifically build and strengthen my knee. The workouts are fun, challenging and vary day to day. The facility is clean and bright and the equipment is top of the line. I love it and actually look forward to my workouts! The sand pit yoga with Kristen is great too!! Shout out to Reggie and Will, too! Brandon has done an excellent job bringing in good trainers!

Review - Trainer (Will Speights)

I had been consistent, through the years, with little to no real attention to my overall physical fitness. Exercise was sporadic with no intensity or focus. My dietary intake was even worse. I made a decision to start paying more attention to my physical fitness. I knew that joining yet another national fitness chain was not going to be beneficial, at this stage, because I quit so many times before. I also knew that I needed to possibly train within an environment that might better complement my current mindset. Fast forward to the initial assessment - it was pulverizing, difficult and I could barely complete it. While getting recommendations for personal trainers and gyms, I was skeptical and slightly apprehensive, because of my personality DOES NOT VIBE, AT ALL, with a trainer who is impatient and/or aggressive or a gym environment that is toxic. I knew I needed accountability but with someone who’d be attentive, professional and patient. It was then, Will S. was assigned to me as my personal trainer in October 2023. Since then, he has been patient, attentive, professional and good-humored, even when I complain. I am down FOUR pants (waist) sizes and have every intention of continuing with him on my fitness journey. It isn’t easy but WILL IS THE REAL DEAL - let him help you, too.

GET TO GRIND HEART FITNESS - THE OWNER, THE FACILITY AND THE VIBE IS AWESOME, TOO!

Grind Heart Fitness is the best! I have never had a better experience with trainers. They really listen to what my goals, are while making sure I am doing everything right. The gym is fantastic, fun, and laid out so well. Brandon West and trainers are all so nice and encouraging it feels like a community, not just a gym.

I've struggled with the gym in the past due to lack of knowledge, confidence and motivation. I started training with Will and have noticed the shift in my attitude towards a better lifestyle. I went from a negative mindset towards the gym to a positive mindset. He's very personalable and has a unique way of meeting you where you are and building you up. He made me feel at ease and like I could accomplish anything. He is so knowledgeable and helps motivate you to your goals and accomplishments. I'm more confident in the understanding of how to work out properly to achieve my goals.
