Strength School has been a wonderful, life-changing experience. Shane is very knowledgeable and understands the unique needs of each person. He offers helpful encouragement in each class. He understands physiology and nutrition at a high level . This school is highly recommended for anyone who needs to workout, but doesnβt know where to start. There are many people who have chosen to remain for years in the program as well, because belonging to the Strength School becomes a healthy way of life. It is also a lot of fun!

I (Alice Wade) have been a client of strength school for almost 2 years. I did not even know it existed until I received a flyer in the mail advertising it had workouts geared toward age groups 55 and older. I was so intimidated to walk through the door but decided to give it a try, especially since it was free 3 workouts. Shane is the best in the trade. He is medically trained and so knowledgeable and will gear workouts to a persons need. He has a great sense of humor and can take all of the ribbing we give him in the 8:00 a.m. class. He has a wonderful wife and 2 little boys. His wife can also run the class if and when Shane might be sick. I cannot say enough good about Shane and Strength School. I tell everyone I know. I feel as good physically and mentally as I did when I was 25 years old and I am far from 25. I have lost a total of over 30 pounds and have gained muscle. If you are lying or sitting on the couch come on in and give Strength School a try. It's great.

Strength School is a small class setting with attention paid to each person. We all support each other but we have our own goals and abilities. I wish I had started when I was 40 years of age. But I am so much stronger. Give it a try, the first step is the hardest. You won't regret it. JT

I joined Strength School 2 years ago and feel I have benefited greatly. Shane has a great attitude and really cares about your health and your continuing progress. Regardless of your age you need to do this. I actually look forward to going. Shane makes it tough but enjoyable. Free Trial /No Excuses.

The Strength School offers high-quality guided workouts in a class setting or one-on-one. Shane works to understand each participant's goals and restrictions. He develops workouts that meet you where you are in your fitness journey, and moves you towards your goals. I've increased my strength and flexibility while reducing chronic back pains. Since you can try it out for free, there is no harm in coming in for a few sessions and seeing for yourself.

Two years ago I joined Strength School. I'd recently turned 60, and I was really out of shape.
My goal was to get stronger and healthier.
Initially I was kind of intimidated about the prospect of lifting weights. I had this vision of a gym full of muscle bound 20 somethings. What I found was a supportive group of men and women of all ages and fitness levels.
Shane offers balanced workouts in a small class setting. Emphasis is on doing the exercises correctly to avoid injury. By the end of the first year, I was strong and fit and had lost 30 pounds.
Recently I attended a retirement party full of old friends. One of them exclaimed "OMG! You look so good!" "It's like you are aging backwards!" What woman does not like to hear that. :)

Over the last year and a half I have had a hip replacement, a knee replacement and then i had Covid (last December). I have been working in a class at Strength School for 5 months and the difference in my stamina and movement is remarkable. We are in the process of moving to a new house and I have had to move quite a few totes, furniture, boxes, etc... from our second and third floors out to the car and over to a storage unit. I also then needed to clean out the storage unit and move all of these to our new garage while we are awaiting renovations. There is no way I could have done all of this without having gone through these classes. I highly recommend Strength School for anyone in any season of life as they will help you to have a stronger and sustainable quality of life.

In early summer, my wife joined Strength School and kept telling me how much she enjoyed it and suggested I might want to leave my couch and go with her. After a painful goodbye to my couch, I went with her and am glad I did. I have lost 11 pounds and am in the best shape I have been since 2016. Losing weight is harder as you get older (turning 75 in October) but I feel more energetic and more aware of what I eat and drink as a result of Strength School. I think I have gotten over my couch separation issues and no longer miss the couch and definitely donβt miss those 11 pounds!! Go see Shane and get off the couch!!

I have had the opportunity to work with Shane both for nutrition and personal training and have been extremely pleased with the results. Shane is very knowledgeable and I have been pleased with the results. My son, age 17, has recently started working with Shane as well. He has absolutely loved working with Shane. Shane offers many things geared toward whatever your goals may be and has something for all ages and fitness levels. Would highly recommend!

My son started 2 years ago and was instilled with a work ethic second to none as he goes to gyms 4 times a week on his own outside of football season, eats healthy and is proud of how he looks and feels. My daughter started last year, is getting stronger and constantly comes home excited about new strength records...highly recommend for kids wanting a change in their physical and mental health...

We took our 14 year old son here to help get him in better shape for football. Shane created a plan tailored for our son based on what our goals were. We started with just a 3 month membership. At the end of the 3 months, our son had vastly improved, had more energy, and most importantly had more confidence in himself. Shane has a great relationship with our son and us. Our son loves going to the gym now and looks forward to going to train with Shane. Shane made going to the gym fun. Shane communicated very well with us and gave us updates and videos to show the progress. We were so happy with the progress that we signed up for another 3 months during the off-season. I would highly recommend Shane.

Would not recommend doing business with Strength School. If you have any serious health issues arise and need to take a break from exercise or feel uncomfortable due to the COVID-19 virus we are experiencing the owner has no mercy. DONT sign any contracts!

I love this place! I joined SS last November to improve a health diagnosis. I was working hard and gaining muscle......and then the pandemic hit! Shane was extremely accommodating during the mandated closure of the gym. He developed "home workouts" and kept in touch via emails and phone calls. When the gym reopened, with health safe guards in place, it was easy to get right back into a workout routine. Unfortunately, I fell and broke my wrist in the middle of July. I was out for 2 weeks but was able to return, with a cast, to the gym. I continued to workout with my regular class and Shane revises my workouts, as needed, to accommodate my injury. I was definitely intimidated to walk through the doors of the gym for the first week.....but I am so thankful that I did!

Do not sign a contract with Strength school. We singed an 18 month contract which we fulfilled. Unfortunately, the contract said that you have to cancel 30 days before the last month or your contract will automatically be renewed for another 18 months. We contacted the owner 2 weeks late and with no reconciliation we were locked into another 18 months. By this time my son was in high school and had practice till 6pm every night. He could not make the 3:30 time slot for his age group. We tried come to agreement with the owner and have our younger son take over since he could make it. He wouldnβt allow this either. We continued to pay 10 months without our son attending which in this time he also had a broken clavicle. We decided to stop payment because money became tight. The owner lacked compassion for our situation and decided to take us to small claims court. A small business in our small town will not last long running like this.

The trainers tailor the workouts to each individual according to their abilities. The other people in the class (limited to six) are all friendly and encouraging.

Great owners. They work really hard to help others feel better about themselves. They are affordable. They have a great facility with lots of room to be able to move when there is a full house. Lots of parking. Center of town sho the location is perfect.

The awesome part of Strength School is the coaches know when to push you and when to keep you from overexerting and hurting yourself. They truly care about the well being of their clients and take time to answer any questions you have. Great atmosphere, great environment and great workouts. Couldn't have found a better place. Love lifting with everyone!

I cannot say enough positive things about Strength School and the coaches. I feel so much better, overall, since I've been working out there. The workouts vary daily, so I am never bored & I love working out with the ladies in my class. The workouts are challenging and yet, we are fully supported and perform at our own level.
The coaches are patient, kind & fun, as well as very knowledgeable. I believe everyone can benefit from Strength School and I am so grateful that they are here!

After a devastating lower back injury at the age of 49, I tried to find relief through many different methods for over a year with only temporary relief from my pain. At the point I could no longer function, I was referred to Shane Reuter at Strength School to find a long term sustainable solution to the pain. Shane designed and implemented a rehabilitation program that worked wonders with my lower back pain in just 12 weeks. Thanks to Shane, I am pain free and continue to get stronger everyday. I would highly recommend Strength School to anyone looking for a long term rehabilitation solution. The program was worth more than what I paid! I wish I would have found Shane sooner in the rehabilitation process and not wasted time and money on solutions that did not last.
