I had both my hips replaced 15 and 13 years ago. Just before starting Ignition Fitness I had both of my knees replaced. Covid did a number on me and I gained over 30 pounds. I started out just trying to get stronger and didn't do any nutrition work. I decided to try the nutrition program in mid April and today I am down to my pre-covid weight and am better physically fit than I was even before my hip and knee surgeries, thanks to Jason. I turned 70 in July and feel stronger than I was at 50. The staff is amazingly supportive, but also challenge you to go beyond what you believe you can do without risking injury. Listen to your body, not what your brain thinks you can or can't do. I haven't felt this healthy and strong in years and am eternally grateful to Jason and Ignition fitness.

I joined Ignition Fitness because I wanted a more structure routine to my workouts. I initially started out with attending Metabolic classes only. I loved the challenge of the cardio classes but wanted to gain muscle too and feel better about myself, so I added Small Group to my routine. Each class is structured for you, which is great because you don't have to worry about your routine. In 2025 Jason introduced a 50 Strong Challenge, which consisted of diet, workout routines and self-improvement. I was sold and have made a lifestyle change that has benefited me greatly. I am feeling great and can see the results from all the challenges and time spent at the gym. The workout staff is great, and I really enjoy that I gained a workout family. I always look forward to the workouts, even when they are hard! This is a great gym to belong to and I highly recommend it.

I was hesitant to go check out Ignition Fitness because my perception it was only for “elite” athletes. I was an over 50 woman with some chronic health conditions and a desire for functional health training. Ignition has been perfect for me. After 3 months of small group weight training, I feel much more confident in my stability and strength. The trainers get to know you and your body’s quirks and modify everything to make sure you get the most out of your time and effort!

Ten years ago, after returning home from Rochester following several months of chemo and a bone marrow transplant, I began working with Jason at Ignition Fitness. Over the past few years, my physical challenges gradually began to increase. I ended up needing a bilateral lung transplant which I received this past November. I spent three months in the hospital. (majority of this time was spent in bed with little to no mobility, resulting in severe de conditioning) When I returned home, regaining strength and mobility was a top priory for my recovery. I am now back at the gym working with Jason and experiencing positive results. I am beyond grateful for Jason and the Ignition Fitness gym in upper North Mankato.

I’ve been a member at Ignition Fitness for 5+ years and I can’t say enough about the positive impact Jason and team have had on my mental and physical health. At age 48 I’m honestly stronger, more flexible, and feel better than I have at any other point in my lifetime. The atmosphere is welcoming, fun, and family oriented. I look forward to my morning workouts and I’m incredibly happy with the results. I highly recommend you give it a try.

I would strongly encourage anyone who’s looking to gain body strength or who is working through an injury, to consider joining Ignition Fitness. I joined 2 years ago to build the upper body strength that I needed to recover from a shoulder issue. Not only did I gain strength, but with the help of the friendly, knowledgeable trainers, who personalized my workouts, I worked through my shoulder injury and I couldn’t be more pleased. I haven’t felt this strong for many years and I feel successful after my full body workout, every time I walk out the door. Thanks Ignition!!

This unique and effective approach to fitness supports both mobility and multi-muscle fitness. That means you can touch your toes and do pulls. Jason has 3 trainings to give you the personal coaching and guidance through each workout. There is further support for nutrition and guidance on better ways to adapt your food to your workout. A strong community forms in each class so you are welcomed each time and missed when absent. Best gym that I have been to, try it for a few months and you'll see and feel the difference.

My two high schoolers use Ignition for Strength and Conditioning as a supplement for their sports and love it. They are building confidence but also becoming stronger, more agile, etc. I appreciate that they are doing the movements with coaches that ensure they have good form. Thank you for being a great place for my athletes to train!

Birthday party for our grandson. The children really enjoyed the obstacle course. The boys all play soccer and what a thrill it was for them to play in the large soccer court. I didn't catch the young man's name that supervised the children. He did an excellent job.

Ignition Fitness is amazing. I have been working out at Ignition for the the past 90 days and it has been a perfect fit. Talk about both a physical and mental health recharger! The daily workouts are amazing and filled with variety. The trainers are engaged and have gotten to know both my limitations and strengths. The environment is welcoming to all levels of fitness and I have gotten to know numerous new friends!

I was never a person who worked out. Mostly I was worried I’d work out wrong and end up hurting my back or not achieving my goals. Sometimes I’d start a program or routine and end up not seeing it through. Ignition Fitness was recommended to me and so I gave it a try. After just a few months I could already tell my posture and strength were so much better than they had been in years. The trainers are there every step of the way so I never have to worry about working out wrong. They are all helpful and encouraging in the process. I can honestly say this has been a game changer for my physical health!

The staff at Ignition Fitness is amazing. Their trainers were a great help and inspiration on my road from being a completely sedentary person to an active, stronger, and healthier human being. They guided me all the way through, being very patient with me as I learned the ropes of doing all those great exercises personally designed to strengthen my chronically injured back. My back is not hurting and feels strong now. They are excellent and dedicated trainers, as well as very personable and friendly. They motivated me to go beyond the gym and start walking (and cycling) on my own and with my daughters, to add cardio exercises to what they provide in their excellently equipped gym. That paid off nicely, not only helping me lose already almost 5 pounds in one month, but helping me reduce my waist by one size. Most importantly, it added father-daughter time to my life! I strongly recommend this place to anybody interested in getting stronger and healthier.

The three stars is for the facility itself. It’s equipment is old and needs to be upgraded. The training staff tries to help but they seem overwhelmed by people wanting to talk to them and trying to keep an eye out on too many people doing four different routines at once. Half the training package is group training and the other half is you on your own with a piece of paper with little help from staff showing you proper form and techniques. The paperwork is confusing too with a lot of abbreviations and not much instruction. The owner, Jason gets zero stars. He is like one of those time share guys. The website does not give rates because he wants to do a high pressure sales pitch when you go and look at the facility. You give your card with the agreement that after a month you will have the option to cancel a year long contract. The only problem is Jason the owner all of a sudden stops answering your texts or emails when you are trying to drop the training program because you realize the cost of 249.00 a month is too high for what you are getting for a product. It has been a very frustrating process ending my membership and so far he has stolen $500 from me. Since he lacks integrity I had to file a claim with my credit card and cancel it so I will not continue to have reoccurring charges. Stay away from this place there are much more modern, cheaper facilities out there.

I feel comfortable going to Ignition because the environment and people are very welcoming and up-lifting. The coaches are knowledgeable and helpful making sure you’re doing your exercises properly. I also like it because if they notice you aren’t doing your exercise quite right they will explain and show you how to do it correctly along with answering questions you might have. Recently I injured myself, and the coaches have adjusted my program and given me tips of how to properly strengthen that injured area. They also care about you as a person and want to get to know you to make your experience there the best it can be! It’s a great workout!

I'm a bit of a gym rat, I like to check out different facilities and try different workouts. Ignition is hands down the best I've been to. The trainers are motivating and the workouts aren't just fun, they're effective. Jason will write you a program tailored to your personal goals and change it up when you get stronger and/or bored. I was in the best shape of my life when I was training at Ignition. Moved up to the cities, where you'd think there would be a ton of quality options, but I haven't found anything as good.

Trained at Ignition fitness and sports throughout my entire youth. And owe it to Jason and his staff for helping me become the athlete I am today. I now run track and field for the gophers, but would never have been able to have these successes without the training and development I had here as a kid. Ignition fitness and sports is by far the most elite training facility and best fitness program in southern Minnesota. That’s why my parents enrolled me there from such a young age. Would recommend 10/10.

Ignition Fitness is So GREAT!!!!!
I am 59 and want to get healthy for living life! Walking into my first session I had all kinds of anxiety and.....fear! But by my third session I walked in like I owned the place! 😂 I feel like I Belong! The individual attention from the trainers & a routine designed just for me at my fitness level. It makes me feel like I’m being “Cared for”. I look forward to each session!!!! I’ve never felt that way at a health club before.

If you’re looking for a great workout and fitness community then Ignition Fitness is the place for you. I have been going to Ignition for the past couple years and Jason and his team has helped me get in better shape and feel better/healthier. I continued working out at Ignition through my pregnancy and they tailored the workouts to my changing needs and after my son was born they helped me get back into pre-pregnancy shape. One of the things I appreciate most is the fact that they are so willing to work with your current/changing needs and they truly care that you get the best workout possible.

I love Ignition Fitness. I never thought I would say this but I'm addicted to the gym! Jason and his staff keep me positive, motivated and healthy. I'm losing weight, moving better and most importantly, stronger than I've ever been! The workouts are never the same. Jason is constantly encouraging us to try new things and to better ourselves.

I didn't know anything about strength training when I started but Jason and the entire class made me feel welcome and confident. I've experience problems with my back and shoulder since my 20's and Jason is always aware of every member's personal goals and he tailors the classes to suit the individual.

Ignition Fitness is a really welcoming gym. I've met a lot of fantastic people working out there. I feel so energized after every work out. If you're looking for an awesome gym - call Jason at Ignition Fitness.

Ignition Fitness & Sports has been the best environment I have ever experienced in a gym. From Jason, to the athletes/adult members, to the facility - it has been everything I ever wanted in a gym. No matter what skill level or fitness goal - I believe Ignition Fitness & Sports is the gym of choice...
Jason gets to know each of his athletes/adults on a personal level to know what to focus his attention on. From watching/correcting the way you move, asking what is sore and telling you what could be causing the soreness, to figuring out your goals with you and checking in from time to time, to pushing you when you want to quit, to being a friend to go out and have a coors light with.
Jason dedicates himself to helping others improve their lives!

Jason helped me out a lot with my weight loss/getting back in shape goals.

After playing college football my weight exploded, and I went to them for help. The staff was well trained and professional.. What I appreciated most is that they set something up personalized for me and what I wanted to accomplish.

Big help!

Jason does an excellent job. Custom workout plans adjusted to you. Best of all, I have not re-injured myself in over 8 months of training...and I continue to strengthen my whole body.

The workouts are fun. Couple Jason's instruction along with a great clientele who support each other along the way and it makes for a terrific experience.
