I’ve been going to straight shot training for over a month now and the experience has been awesome! From all the trainers to the workout program and ease of logging workouts into your phone, it’s been extremely easy and routine forming. Weight is dropping off! Thank you for the push coaches!!

I have gone to Gyms in the past but this gym is at such a higher lever. From the gym set up to the owners and the trainers they make you feel special and care about your success. They also have events for members and there families. im so happy I saw there ad at Warehouse Cinema. Like in the show Cheers they all know my name and that makes me feel good. Thanks Olivia for pushing me.

Super happy with Straight Shot! I had known Jonny years ago and was impressed when I had heard he had opened his own gym. He was immediately responsive when we were looking for a new trainer and made it really easy. The 2 trainers we have worked with, Tyler and Olivia, are AWESOME!!! They both demonstrated excellent knowledge, know how to work with our physical limitations but also have pushed and challenged us. Plus, their personalities are perfect for us! Definitely recommend Straight Shot for excellent training and results!

My husband and I have been going to Straight Shot Training since July, and it was the best decision we've made. The workouts are laid out clearly for the day in the Straight Shot Training app. I make it a point to review the workout prior to my scheduled time, just to get my mind right! For those days that you are not in the gym, you can still access the training for that day on the app. Amazing (said in my singing voice)! John takes the time to explain things carefully and focuses on each person in his group. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and funny as heck! I highly recommend Straight Shot Training to anyone looking for the ultimate exercise experience.

I’ve been lifting at Straight Shot for a few years now and I’ve had a truly fabulous time. It’s a supportive, friendly environment for all body types and sizes. I’m a bigger girl and have never felt embarrassed or out of place there. I’ve lifted with John, Jonny, and Bailey and cannot recommend them enough!

I also have chronic back pain which Bailey has been helping me with and it’s really made a world of difference for me :)

But if you’re looking to get strong, you’ll be in good hands with any coach here.

I’ve had such a great experience at this gym. Bailey has been an amazing trainer—supportive, motivating, and reasonably priced—but honestly, all the trainers here are fantastic. Everyone is so knowledgeable and genuinely cares about your progress. What I really love is that the gym focuses on more than just workouts—they emphasize strength, education, nutrition, and body positivity. It’s a really encouraging and inclusive space. It’s such a welcoming and motivating space to grow, both physically and mentally!

I started working with Bailey and Delaney for personal training in December 2024 and have kept up with it twice a week since. I've been excited for every session we've had. I started at Straight Shot because I was battling some chronic back pains, which have nearly entirely resolved. I'd never attempted weight lifting, and seeing the progress week after week has been so motivating! They do a great job listening to your needs and interests. I've worked with Jonny for nutrition consults, too, which seems to have helped my composition a ton as well. This gym has been a major asset to my life and I 100% recommend them!

I have been very pleased with the training at straight shot. It is a drive for me to get there but all worth it. My trainer Kim has been great in understanding my needs and helping me make progress. The facilities are very clean and the space is big and not overcrowded.

If you're tired of cookie-cutter gyms, Straight Shot Training is a breath of fresh air. From day one, you're welcomed like family—whether you're just starting out (like me) or training for your tenth marathon. The coaches don’t just guide you, they know you, and members genuinely cheer each other on. It’s a space where every age, every fitness level, and every goal is celebrated. No judgment, no one-size-fits-all routines—just real people lifting each other up, literally and figuratively. Give it a try - I promise you won't regret it.

The Straight Shot facility and trainers have been nothing short of amazing. I can't say I was very familiar with a weight room before I started, but everyone has been very welcoming and not intimidating! Additionally, the community and events that make the clients feel connected are wonderful. I also appreciate the flexibility - the trainers truly want you to get stronger for your day to day life and will go above and beyond to make sure you are seeing results. Highly recommend!

A great place if you’re looking to get or stay stronger, and especially welcoming to those who are just starting out with weight training. The coaches are very good at demonstrating techniques and keeping good form. And they can accommodate any need for modifications. Plus, they’re a good bunch of people.

Approaching 70 I was looking for a place to work hard and improve my bones, brains and body....a different order than I may have put things in when I was younger!!!!! Never having done weights before, I was nervous the first time I came in - not at all sure about it. 1 year and 3 months later I am so glad I came in for that 1st try. Every coach takes time to explain things carefully, focuses on each person and is invested in their success - whatever their goals are. The workouts are genuinely FUN. And....I have made some incredible friends along the way.

I’ve been going to Straight Shot since September, and it’s truly the best gym I’ve ever been a part of. The small group strength training format is exactly what I needed—personalized attention without the pressure of a big crowd.

The trainers are amazing. They take time to explain each exercise clearly, including how to start, how to finish, and how to stay safe while building strength. I have a history of injuries, and they always offer quick, smart modifications that still make me feel like I’m getting a great workout.

The gym is super clean (like, actually clean—it even smells clean!) and the atmosphere is welcoming, friendly, and free of any ego. No one’s filming themselves in the mirror or showing off—just real people working hard and supporting each other.

The classes are great, and I really appreciate how flexible the scheduling is. My schedule can change last minute because of work or kids, and the trainers have always been helpful and understanding when I need to switch times.

If you’re looking for a strength training gym with awesome trainers, a supportive community, and a no-BS environment, I can’t recommend Straight Shot enough!

Straight Shot and especially Coach Bailey has been instrumental in my return to being active. Coach Bailey helped me get back into working out following an accident. I was very nervous to cause more issues to my back, but she made sure I was focusing on strengthening areas that would help my back in the gym and day to day life. In working out with Bailey I felt more confident in the gym, and had some pain relief! She is incredibly kind and modified movements so I could perform them without pain or aggravating the area. She pushes you without putting you past your comfort zone. I highly recommend Straight Shot and Coach Bailey, especially if you are getting back into being active following an injury. The entire gym is motivating and kind, I feel very grateful to have had them in my corner!

Straight Shot Training has been a big game changer for me. After having both of my knees replaced I was at a loss , my knees no longer hurt but I felt weak and not in control. Thankfully a friend recommended Straight Shot Training and I can now do things I thought I would never do again. My trainer, Moe has encouraged me and pushed me and given me the confidence that I was lacking. I am so thankful for Straight Shot Training.

Really enjoy this gym! The focus on strength training is rewarding, and the small group size offers largely the same feeling and attention as personal training but at a more affordable price point. The trainers are friendly and supportive and will work around existing injuries and other physical limitations.

Highly recommend Straight Shot Training! As a runner, I was looking for a place to help increase my strength to improve my running and prevent injuries. Straight Shot has gone above and beyond to help me with my goals.

I really enjoy working out in the small groups, having a plan in place each session along with the weights I should be lifting. Coach John is very supportive, always helping to make sure your form is correct and knows when to push you to bigger goals.

Everyone at Straight Shot is very welcoming and I am glad that I get to be part of such a great gym!

Straight Shot has been awesome! I’ve done personal training before a few years ago. This year when I found out I was pregnant I decided to incorporate weights back into my routine instead of just running.
I signed up for straight shot because the small classes (5 people or less) gives you the feel of personal training while giving you a group setting. Coach John is awesome! The app they use tracks your weights and sets so you don’t have to remember what you did last time. Coach John also helps by telling you your weights prior to a move so at 6AM my brain can still be asleep. Everyone here is super positive, inviting and joining was the best thing for my pregnancy. I plan to continue post kid as well as something to keep me strong and accountable. If you’re on the fence I highly recommend trying out Straight Shot and joining the family!

Straight Shot is fantastic! I was looking for a clean and updated gym, where I could come in and be told exactly what to do and how much to lift. The trainers do that and so much more! You get a level of attention and support you don’t see in other group exercise classes. They are very cognizant of injuries and will make changes based around your needs. Best yet, everyone is just really nice!

Straight Shot Training has been a game changer for my lifestyle and self confidence. I have always been intimidated by going to fitness centers. I walk into the gym, see the equipment and know in bones that this is not my comfort zone, back away slowly then run!

I have watched my previous colleague, Jonny Slick, grow his business over the years. Focusing on building an online presence then creating a space for in-person training. The format of the gym is unique and I have not experienced it before. Yes it’s a gym filled with what was intimidating equipment. However, Straight Shot is not a gym where you walk in unnoticed, do what you think you should do and walk out unnoticed. Instead I walk in to see a max of 4 others folks that are my gym buddies/support system/sweat your tail off for the next 60 minutes together friends, all under the personal guidance of extremely welcoming, enthusiastic and knowledgeable trainers who are always happy to see you there. I knew when I was ready to make changes to my life that I needed to surround myself with good people. Having worked with Jonny in the past, I already knew that he was good people. I also know from working for another fantastic Frederick small business, that good people, hire good people, treat them well, and in return employees offer longevity, consistency and loyalty to the business. It’s the members of Straight Shot who truly receive all of the benefit from excellent leadership. That’s what I get when I go the gym now.

Straight shot has the most encouraging trainers who meet you where you are, understand your goals, and your why for investing in your health. The gym atmosphere is brimming with acceptance, excitement and work hard. I train weekly with Coach Bruce and look forward to coming back the following week. I have learned so much about how to care for my health on what would seem the most basic levels but that’s where I needed to start my fitness journey.

I continue to recommend Straight Shot to my friends and family. And I highly recommend Straight Shot to anyone who is ready to focus on their health in a caring atmosphere that is starting to feel more like family. It’s wonderful to see new folks walk through the door for their first free consultation and then they are in my group the following week. Together we build each other up. Hopefully I will see you walk through the door next so that we can work hard, laugh hard and get stronger together. All the best, Katie G.

10 stars and two enthusiastic thumbs up for Coach Moe! As someone who has dealt with an injury that could have been surgically repaired, I appreciate her knowledge of physical therapy, and willingness to attend to the details that keep me injury-free moving forward. Plus, she is a real teacher, which can't be taught, and a compassionate human as well. Yay, Moe!

My husband and I have been going to Straight Shot Training since July, and it has been the best decision ever. We look forward to every class. Each class is small, no more than 5 people, so you feel like you're getting one one one training but with the comradery of a larger gym. Johnny and his team of trainers are super knowledgeable and really make us feel like we are getting the best from each of our workouts.

The perfect place! I needed somewhere where I would be held accountable, have motivation to get up and go, and just some understanding. The coaches here are all that and more! The humor in the gym during workouts, who laughs when at the gym?!?! I know I never did, until I started here. The coaches are great, the fellow people are great, no pressure, yet just enough push to beat your goals. Always have great advice. I've been going for two months now twice a week. I'm having so much fun, I'm considering three times a week! I've found another home here, and I feel so lucky to have Straight Shot Training right in my backyard. Thanks for helping me find my workout groove again!!! Try the free class/consultation. It will NOT be a waste of your time.

Straight Shot Training is the only gym I've ever joined that I have no trouble sticking with. I love the small class sizes and the coaches are AMAZING!

Everyone is friendly and it truly is a judgment free zone. The coaches are able to accommodate my health issues and are always able to suggest any exercise modifications or substitutions as needed to avoid exacerbating old injuries and my bad back. I have and will continue to highly recommend Straight Shot Training to anyone searching for a gym.

So I've been weightlifting for nearly 2 years now, but most of my experience wasn't professional and was mainly derived from YouTube and Instagram. But after stopping by Straight Shot for their free muscle scan and talking to the head trainer, Jonny, I now have a more clear path that I should follow to achieve my personal goals! The whole environment is lighthearted, encouraging, and most importantly, professional. I couldn't recommend this place more, regardless of where you are in your fitness journey!

Started my strength training 3 months ago. My trainer, Delaney, is an excellent professional in her field. She designed a program, besides overall health and mobility, to improve my left leg which has arthritis. My weakened knee is much stronger, my balance is improving. She is patient and watches carefully that my movements, postures are carried out correctly. The studio is
ample, spotless clean and with all up to date strength equipments. The studio has a community spirit that seems a good place to stay even after tough training sessions. I’m glad I make the best choice in joining Straight Shot. Furthermore , I have Delany as my trainer. Thank you.

I specifically work along side Coach Bailey and she’s been awesome! The owner and other coaches I have come across there have been kind as well.

Since COVID closed all the gyms, I tried to workout at home but needed more accountability. Enter Straight Shot Gym. I initially visited for an InBody scan and learned more about myself and what strength/resistance training could do for me. I’m 54 and need to build up my strength as the calendar years pass. All the trainers are supportive, patient, focused and knowledgeable. I workout 2x/week with Kim in a semi private group and notice my strength and balance get better each week. I can’t recommend Straight Shot enough.

They are personable and genuine and hold me accountable in ways that work for me. This is a gym for real people trying to be the best versions of themselves.

I have been going to Straight Shot Training 2-3 times a week for the past 7 weeks. I have accomplished so much, both physically and mentally – I will NEVER go back to a large, impersonal gym. This training facility caters to people of all fitness levels. Training is provided either one-on-one with a coach or in small groups. The facility is spectacular, with all the necessary weights, machines, resistance bands, etc. to help anyone, AT ANY LEVEL OF FITNESS, improve their fitness level. The equipment is well organized, and the facility is extremely clean. It is obvious the staff take a great deal of pride in their facility and training equipment; it is obvious the staff want their clients to have everything necessary to reach their fitness and health goals. During my initial conversation with Jonny, it was apparent that he and his staff are quite knowledgeable in how to train clients of different fitness levels; the staff prides themselves in knowing how to individualize a fitness plan for whoever walks through the door. Since I began my fitness quest at Straight Shot Training, my coach has been Bailey. During my first session, I recognized Bailey’s passion for her work and knowledge in weightlifting and fitness. Bailey is also very personable – her positive demeaner gives her clients the confidence to attempt to perform each lift, exercise, and stretch. Bailey stresses proper techniques and is quick to make necessary corrections in form; however, as quick as Bailey is at stressing proper mechanics, she is just as vocal when it comes to encouraging her clients and applauding their efforts. Bailey has been my biggest cheerleader! Bailey has been able to find alternative exercises to address issues I have with arthritis and hip replacement that prevent me from performing the scheduled exercise. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Bailey - her coaching techniques and encouragement have enabled me to regain muscle mass and given me the confidence to keep striving for more gains. I have also benefited from working out in the small group classes. Even though the class is comprised of people of different fitness levels, I do not find the environment intimidating. Instead, I am motivated by the accomplishments of others in my class. Everyone in the class recognizes that “we” all started this journey at the same level, just at different times; we cheer for one another. Bailey keeps our class on task in a very rewarding manner. I look forward to each class, knowing that I will have the opportunity and support I need to excel.

Had such an amazing time at Straight Shot Training! I was blown away even on the initial walk in. It’s evident that there was serious consideration and overall attention to detail to each piece of equipment that they have set up. There was an amazing variety of the highest quality equipment, not allowing anyone who walks in the excuse of not having something to do! The real draw however were the coaches. All of them were obviously handpicked carefully and each was extremely knowledgeable and equally as personable with a large emphasis on safety. This lends their critiques and guidance to come across as advice from a friend, not threatening and very sincere (something that I’ve found very rare to find). Overall, a great experience and I highly recommend stopping in!

I love this place! I'm a former athlete (about a billion years ago) that was looking to get back at it after working out on my own for a while. I work out one-on-one with John and he's terrific. Went from high reps, low weight to moving some heavy stuff and have seen great results. Multiple PRs in squats, deadlifts, including going from benching about 150 max to 215. Great place, no meatheads, feel strong and great every time I walk out spent but feeling great!

I wanted to get stronger while losing weight and I started to seek out gyms and fitness programs that worked with my schedule. I visited a few gyms that just didn’t fit my vibe - I wanted something with a relaxed and supportive atmosphere, while also being challenging and fun. From the moment that I had my initial session with John, I felt like I belonged and it checked off all of my boxes. Since then, I’ve been going twice per week and training with Bailey and Delaney, both of whom are fantastic coaches. The sessions are tough but enjoyable, and I leave every session feeling like an accomplished badass. I’m getting stronger each session and I feel better physically, and I’m starting to see changes not only in the mirror, but also in the amount I lift every week.

In addition to John, Bailey, Delaney, and Jonny, all of the members I’ve met have been so warm, welcoming, and supportive. Straight Shot Training is essentially one big family and I honestly couldn’t wish for a better training facility!

My perspective: after 7 months of training with Coach John, I am postponing indefinitely hip replacement surgery. I am bicycling with greater confidence and planning distance goal/challenges I thought might be out of reach. Hiking and walking plans also enhanced. I am over 65 years old, and this training has brought improvements in many life activities. Knew Jonny Slick from workout sessions at the YMCA pre-covid. Knew I would follow him to his next endeavor as soon as I could. Nothing will stop me from training here with Coach John barring the unforeseen cosmic redirect. Thank you to all the Straight Shot trainers for your marvelous attitudes and challenges to all of us who train here.

Jonny and the team at straight shot are all amazing!
I had been working out for years on my own and didn’t see the results i was looking for in my body until i started Jonny’s hypertrophy program! After 12 weeks of hard work in the gym I saw huge muscular gains! I’ve just started another program from jonny and love it already as well!

Straight Shot Training is the best Gym / Workout / Personal Trainer I've ever been to or experienced. I started going to small group sessions with Jonny, who is such a remarkable trainer. He's a super cool, incredibly kind guy, but he's also the most intuitive trainer I've ever had. He has such a good sense for when to push you, when to add weight, and when to give you a break. The structure of the workouts is highly effective and I've seen more improvement going to Straight Shot than from the years I trained on my own or at other gyms.
I've also been able to train with Delaney and John, and they're equally talented and supportive while being very different; there is definitely a trainer here to suit your training style and personality.
The space itself is gorgeous and they keep it obsessively clean.
And finally, the people that train here are amazing; it feels like you're on the same team and everyone lifts one another up versus that weird competitive/comparative atmosphere you find at some other facilities.
Seriously - this place is fantastic.

Straight Shot under Jonny is pushing me and my family to get fitter and improve our lives while keeping us jolly
with witty banter. My banter goes quiet
during most workouts. We are big fans!

I found Jonny and Straight Shot by searching for a trainer that was familiar with Functional Range Conditioning to start my journey into weight lifting. A simple search turned into a personal journey and community I crave in a short period of time. As a mobility and yoga instructor looking to start weight lifting, I wanted a trainer/gym that was in line with my own values where I would be respected, seen and challenged.

The amazing and supportive atmosphere was created by the Straight Shot team and attracted a community of people looking to feel their best not only in the gym but in their lives. You attract what you put out into the world and the clients and team reflect their unmatched skills in coaching, care and empowerment. The cheers, giggles and encouragement was contagious and genuine. I can't recommend them enough.

Did I work hard? Yes. Was the coaching top notch? Yes. Were they knowledgable? Yes. More importantly, for me, I feel their support and lessons even when I'm not there and that's life changing. It's inspiring and an experience I wish to pass along to others.

Thank you Straight Shot for being a shining example of what a fitness business should be and stand for.

I've been working with John for a few months now, and Jonny long before that. I offer a strong recommendation for the business as a whole- They have listened to my needs and thoughtfully provided the right kinds of support and programming. I'm always happy to be there.

What started as a quest to gain some strength and confidence in the gym (and at home - pickle jars are hard to open!) has quickly become a highlight of my week - we laugh while we sweat and build muscles! Cannot recommend the crew enough - a fun place to be while building strength and learning about allll the ins and outs of each lift, which I needed. Two months in and I'm hooked!

Jonny is the best trainer, can adjust to challenge and optimize technique with any range of participant, is motivating, educational, and a cool dude. I have worked with him in person and distanced and both were great. Wish I was still local to utilize his new facility!!

My son, Mason, has been training at Straight Shot with Jonny in the teen program for a few months now. Not only has his strength, technique and overall fitness improved tremendously, but so has his confidence!! Jonny is a master at his craft and an inspiration. He teaches overall well being...from a fitness, nutrition and attitude/mental standpoint. This program and Jonny have made a difference in my son's life, and we will be forever grateful for that!! Thanks for being his biggest role model:)

I have used Jonny Slick as a personal trainer for several years. Among other reasons, I have 1/3rd of the cartilage eroded in my right knee (MRI diagnosed), and through long-term training, I no longer limp and have been able to resume 5K runs. He is an excellent trainer and will customize a work out to best suite your needs - and also push you to improve - all with a smile on his face.

I've been working with Jonny for about 1 1/2 years and have been at Straight Shot Training since they opened. I've gotten an opportunity to work with all the coaches there (Delaney, Jonny, John, and Bailey) and wow, do I feel lucky to have found this place! I almost hate to write this review as I want to keep this gem all to myself, but, honestly, it should be shouted from the rooftops. Jonny has created a truly special atmosphere that more gyms should strive to emulate. Each coach is genuinely excited for your progress, concerned for your safety, and interested in your goals. Each workout is structured to push you to your greatest self but never to demoralize, damage, or defeat you. Every time I walk out of a semi-private session, I am so darn proud of myself! I see progress each and every time I go. Because the coaches are so caring and supportive, they have attracted a similar clientele. Each member of that gym is an enthusiastic cheerleader and wants to make everyone who comes through those doors feel as welcome as they did when they first entered. I promise you, as soon as you walk in - you'll know you made the right choice. All levels, all ages, all abilities - you'll feel right at home. Oh! Did I mention how immaculately clean the gym is ALWAYS? You can't go wrong with Straight Shot Training. Come check it out - I'm willing to share this special gem...I guess ;)

I have been working with co-owner and head coach Jonny Slick for almost two years now! I am a virtual client. He is extremely passionate and knowledgeable providing me with an individual program that meets both my schedule and physical needs. He has whipped my body back into shape and I have the muscles to prove it! He provides detailed instructions in addition to “how to”videos if you are new to weight training. Highly recommended

This gym is incredible, I’m not the type of person who enjoys large gyms with a ton of people, I really appreciate the private nature of this gym and the trainers are so incredible. The workouts are hard! But in a great way, they challenge you but don’t make you feel defeated or like a failure. Coach Jonny and Coach John have the best temperament, they motivate you but challenge you as well which is what helps make us successful. I am beyond grateful for this gym and look forward to every work out I have!

I highly recommend for beginners (myself) and the more experienced!

I’ve known Jonny for years and I’ve always been like “this dude is living his best life” and when I saw he had an opening for semi private sessions, I just had to see what was going on. Well I learned that not only are the staff at Straight Shot Training living their best lives, they are helping others to do the same and meet you where you are in your physical and mental health journey and start to build you up step by step - celebrating every small and large accomplishment with you as you go. The energy is calm and supportive, the facility is spotless and organized— everyone, client and staff alike, quickly starts to feel like family. I am happy to say I love the community that Jonny and the rest of Straightshot Training has built, I can’t recommend getting involved with this lot of gym bandits enough!! Reach out today and get the conversation started, they are there with open arms.

Straight Shot is all the things I never knew a gym could be: friendly, accessible, relatable, non-judging, encouraging, knowledgable, clean and safe. It is literally all the best things about working out and community, with absolutely zero of the toxic bro culture at big box gyms. It’s the highlight of my week when I come train with Delaney. Every trainer and every member is friendly, welcoming, and encouraging. All ages, sizes and abilities are welcome with no judgment and equal enthusiasm. Every workout is exactly challenging enough for me to feel strong, empowered and progressing, without ever feeling like I’m being asked to do something I truly cannot. Delaney is so in tune to my current abilities and my goals, and I have every faith she’s getting me exactly where I need to go. Lastly, let me just underline the “clean” I mentioned above. This gym is absolutely spotless, neat as a pin and always ready. Sign up for a session, you’ll be hooked for life.

Here’s what I love about this place. You can get PERSONALIZED workouts with professional instructors. You have the opportunity to ask for help without chasing someone down. They do the thinking for you, providing workouts to help you meet your goals. They are there to make sure you don’t injure yourself. I love that I can immediately ask for help/corrections if something doesn’t feel right. The best thing is that it is structured and the gym capacity is controlled.

Great place to work out! I haven't been motivated to work out in years and now I haven't missed a single session. Delaney is a fantastic trainer. Ask for one of her classes if you are looking to get a good challenge with a ton of positive energy.

You get to buy the classes in bulk and you can shift your schedule without losing any money. Great location. Enough equipment for everyone in the class.

Perfect fit for first timers and people that want to get back into shape!

If I could give this place more than five stars I would. The experience has been nothing short of an exceptional workout. The trainers all are very knowledgeable and are personable with their clients. What I enjoy most is seeing the workouts beforehand on an app that also has capability of tracking your progress. Not to mention tutorials attached to see the workout. What really gives me that “wow experience” is the communication. Johnny always follows up with me if I have questions and gives me helpful tips on my strength training journey. Thank y’all for being exactly what I needed during my strength training/weight loss journey. I’m going to hit my goals and then some because of this program!

I’ve been with Straight Shot for years, and Jonny never disappoints. He is always coming up with challenging and new workouts for his programming. He has linked videos on each workout in case there’s a movement Im unsure of, this is an awesome feature. He is extremely knowledgeable and is always keeping up to date with research on the best way of training and nutrition. I recommend him and straight shot to any and everyone! Straight shot has been a consistently wonderful example of making fitness and nutrition easy to understand and maintain! Thankful for this business!

Working out with Straight Shot is the best part of my week. I know that every workout it’s going to maximize my strengths and help develop my areas for improvement. I can track my strength improvements over time; data over perception helps boost my body image.

Physical well being at every size, age, and ability is a huge focus. Every workout and movement meets you WHERE YOU ARE, and pushes you when you are ready. A focus on form over rep weight has kept my injury free. The good workout soundtracks are helpful too.

Jonny Slick has kept me safe and strong for three years. When I turned 50, I started to struggle keeping up with the kids. I connected with Jonny, and now I can keep up with most except the high school athletes. I'm not a gym guy, and have never enjoyed working out. Jonny keeps me motivated and coming back twice a week with a program of strength, flexibility, and balance. My active physical life is far better for the time and money I spend with Straight Shot Training.

Straight Shot Training focuses on functional fitness and they really have a solid understanding on how to improve the way you move. I started their program in my mid-thirties when I had chronic back pain that comes from the lack of movement working in an office for decades. I'm now in my forties and I have no pain at all thanks to their program. Their approach to fitness is methodical, efficient and flexible with any condition you may have.

The functional fitness style has helped me feel more confident in daily tasks, such as lifting with the proper form. I feel so much stronger and more capable because of this program!
