The Strength Studio is the perfect fit for me. Scheduled weekly, the one-on-one training has built my body strength, balance and agility. I just completed one year of training and everything has changed in my day to day life. Hiking, walking hills, lifting groceries, yard work are all significantly easier. The entire team is professional in all aspects from scheduling, communication and training knowledge. Walking in the door, clients of all ages and levels feel welcome. From intense athletes to seniors, the workouts are individually catored to each client to maximize their potential. I love that I can just walk in, feel welcomed, know that the trainer knows exactly what I need, leave with a stronger body and get on with my day! The best workout experience for me in 55 years!

I’ve been going to Strength Studio for 7 months now and couldn’t be happier! I’ve seen all 4 trainers, they’re all fabulous. I think my favorite thing about going in is that I don’t feel intimated, and never feel judged by anyone else who’s in there working out.

Was told over a year ago that I would be put on the waitlist. Reached out last week To see if they have room for me yet. The response was your name got taken off the list somehow and there is another waitlist so you could check out takedown gym. Nice!

The Strength Studio is my happy place. I see Emily and she pushes me to the exact point that when I wake up the next day I know my muscles got an effective workout. Simply put, I am stronger. We also have talked protein intake, which was new to me, and that is a huge daily health component. I started in July and I have decided to stay... The quarantine has not stopped me. Yesterday I did free weights for thirty minutes and walked with six pound ankle weights strapped on. Just bragging...I am the oldest female client!!!

* hyper-efficient 30-minute workout
* total body blast w/ a quick pace
* still feel it 3 days later (what a great feeling!)
* genuine, personalized, research-based coaching from Emily and Tom

How challenging could a 30-minute workout possibly be? This was my thought when my brother asked me to join him for a workout at Strength Studio when I was in Brainerd over Christmas week. I am writing this review on Monday, my workout was Friday, and I'm still feeling it in my arms and legs. Strength Studio has me hooked - and I'm definitely going back whenever I'm in town.

The format of the workout is 1 set of each exercise, performed to exhaustion. This means you go until you can no longer perform a repetition with perfect form. At the point of exhaustion, Emily would typically assist me to perform one final rep, and I had to hold that position for 10 seconds. It's tough, but you feel a real sense of accomplishment when you're finished with each exercise.

The exercises are I come from the traditional "3 sets of 10" world of lifting, so this was a new concept for me; I really enjoyed being pushed beyond my comfort zone for each exercise. Emily was my 1-on-1 trainer and proved to be a great teacher and motivator - you really need someone in your ear to push yourself to exhaustion in an exercise. But afterwards, its like you can feel yourself getting stronger.

Because you're performing each only one set of each exercise and then moving on to a new body part, the workout flies by, and when it's complete you feel like you had an excellent total body workout, even though it only took 30 minutes.

My home gym is a corporate gym in Las Vegas. And while that gym has similar equipment and machines to Strength Studio, I find it too easy to make excuses and not give 100% to each exercise:

- "There's someone already on the machine. I guess I'll skip it"
- "I feel too tired right now to finish this exercise"
- "Is this the correct form for this lift?"

Inevitably I leave for home unfulfilled despite spending an hour at the gym plus the commute. The 1-on-1 training with only 1 set for each exercise was a refreshing switch for me - and it left me craving for more workouts in this fast-paced style.

If you're looking to make real changes to your body, I highly recommend checking out Strength Studio.
