I’ve been training at Power and Fitness for over 3 years attending the noon class. As a senior I thought training with others half my age would be intimidating but it’s been just the opposite! Our class is so much fun and everyone is very supportive. I’m always encouraged to push myself but Courtney (the best coach ever!) is always watching to make sure I’m doing things correctly and safely. This isn’t the fanciest gym but I believe it’s the best. Thanks to everyone at P&F!

After several years of bodybuilding on my own I knew I needed a new challenge to further my physical and mental growth, through the recommendation of a friend I decided to try CrossFit at Power and Fitness B/N and I I haven’t looked back since. I’ve gained strength, flexibility and agility I’ve not had since I was young, the staff and members have welcomed me and made me feel like I’m part of something unique and special. And as a union electrician the added flexibility and stamina has made me more capable at my career. I’m beyond grateful to have found these great people. Thanks for reading.

A great gym to visit when in the Bloomington area. The members were very friendly, it felt like I was at my home town box. The coaches were also very friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciated that they are quick to help with many scaling options. If I lived in the area I’d be a member and will be returning the next time I’m in Bloomington. Thanks!

I’ve been strength training with Brian at Power and Fitness for a year and have come further in my fitness journey with him as my personal trainer than I could have on my own. I was completely new to strength training and weight lifting when I first set foot in Brian’s gym. I didn’t have the knowledge or the confidence to pursue fitness in a commercial gym and was looking for a trainer who could provide support, accountability, and ultimately teach me the correct form and technique for a variety of exercises. As a woman who’s never really been athletic, I was looking for a place where I felt safe and comfortable to learn. Over the past year, with Brian’s coaching and encouragement, I have not only learned how to properly deadlift, bar squat, bench press, etc., I have also learned how to incorporate proper form into my everyday movements to avoid injury. Brian is as genuine as he is experienced. I highly recommend him, his wife Courtney who manages the CrossFit side of the gym, and the overall P&F community to anyone looking to meet their fitness goals.

I have been working out at Power & Fitness and training with Brian for the past year. Power & Fitness is one of the best gyms I have ever trained at, and Brian is a great trainer. He is super knowledgeable and has pushed me to get stronger and also improve my form - and because of that I feel really comfortable pushing myself to lift heavy. The gym is also a really supportive environment with a great community, and the equipment and space are top notch. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I have been working out at Power & Fitness and taking personal training classes for the last 18 months. Power & Fitness is one of the best powerlifting, CrossFit and fitness gyms I have had the pleasure of training at over the years! Brian is one of the most knowledgeable powerlifting and weightlifting coaches in the state and nation. He has coached me in preparation to have two total hip replacements last year and through my recovery process. As a 60-year-old, I am feeling like I am in my 20s again!!! Thanks to Brian and Courtney the Power & Fitness community is encouraging, friendly and supportive! Power & Fitness is also a great place to get involved in the Special Olympics, celebrate our military and get involved in other great causes. If Golf is your pastime check out Power and Fitness for their golf classes and training. I highly recommend this gym!!!

I dealt with a myriad of issues. Ranging from some of the equipment being so frayed that it is one second away from tearing. All the way to dealing with the judgmental community that resides.

Over the past year, I’ve gotten myself into the best physical shape I could possibly be in, and that’s in no small part due to the coaching and all around general advice given by Brian and Courtney, and I could not have gotten where I am without them and the best gym in town.

I have been a member of Power and Fitness for almost four years and it has been one of the best communities I've been a part of. They care about my fitness but they also genuinely care about my well being. The coaches do a great job pushing you and meeting you where you are on your own journey. I cannot recommend this community enough!

Owner Brian was extremely nice and knowledgeable. Has a separate section for "Open" gym, so I was able to do the WOD from back home. Really nice facility, lots of room, lots of equipment, lots of recovery items. Ill be back here whenever I'm in town. Here's a few pictures of where I worked out at. Thanks to the staff there!

My CrossFit Power and Grace family was instrumental in helping me gain my strength back after pregnancy. I went from modifying sit ups and push ups at 7 weeks postpartum to increasing a deadlift PR by 15 pounds at 7 months postpartum. That is a true testament to the programming, encouragement from coaching staff and fellow gym members, as well as working out consistently! CrossFit is truly adaptable for any athletic ability and CrossFit Power and Grace is the place to be!

Awesome gym and excellent coaches. It is the perfect place to get a good workout in. The crossfit side lets you get a workout in with a class and if you want some one on one coaching, that is available in the barbell club!

Power and Grace is a great gym for a variety of reasons. Brian and his team of coaches are awesome! All the coaches are knowledgeable and passionate about helping you improve and meet your goals. There are plenty of options to choose from. There are CrossFit and bodyfit classes happening all the time. There are also specialty classes in weightlifting, gymnastics, yoga, and powerlifting. I can personally testify that the weightlifting class has made a big difference for me. I have not doubt that if you take any of these classes consistently you’ll see improvement as well. The gym setup is also great and has excellent equipment. Added on to it all is a great community of people that are fun and encouraging.
This gym really has something for everyone no matter your age or experience. So if you’re looking at competing or just want to get healthier this is the place to go.
