It's not hard to write this review. When I started in August 2024 my left hip kept or limited me from much of what I enjoyed doing: running, serving at food banks, and assisting at disaster sites. I started with a trainer who left to pursue other opportunities. I thought he was very good. In October 2024 the owners Dean and Chico suggested I start working with Matt, a highly qualified Mizzou graduate. We clicked right away and he worked with me to strengthen both hips plus work the full body.

I should add in the past I worked with a trainer who was excellent, so coming in I had set the bar pretty high).

After several months it was time to start running again, starting at 3 miles a week in March 2025 to my current 25 to 30. Plus I just ran a half marathon two weeks ago. Needless to say The Grind was a big part of this.

The Grind provides a family atmosphere. The other trainers are all friendly, the owners Dean and Chico are awesome, as are administrative assistants Christy and Ashley. They have good equipment and they take care of it.

If you are an older (I'm 69) or younger athlete, or simply trying to improve, The Grind offers options for both. You won't be disappointed.

We’ve had an incredible experience at The Grind South over the years, and I want to give a special shout-out to Chico Orlando for everything he’s done for our family, especially my son, Jackson.
Chico has truly taken Jackson under his wing. While there’s been some natural turnover in trainers over time, Chico has always been a constant. Whether it's quickly finding the right new trainer for Jackson or stepping in himself to bridge the gap, he's made sure that Jackson’s training never skips a beat. Currently, Jackson is working 1:1 with both Chico and Cam, and the support and knowledge they bring is exactly what Jackson needs to stay focused and keep progressing toward his goals. Both trainers are incredibly skilled at identifying areas for improvement and tailoring sessions to bring out the best in him and help him reach his goals.
We couldn’t be more grateful for the guidance, consistency, and care Chico has shown. Thank you, Chico, and thank you to The Grind South, for creating such a positive and motivating environment. You’ve made a lasting impact!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Grind South.
One of the owners/trainers, Chico, was able to help me rehab a torn rotator cuff as well as a meniscus tear to the point that I have full mobility and strength in both joints, without surgeries. Also, the other trainers and staff are incredibly nice and knowledgeable in their areas. I have been a client of Grind for a couple of years, and would never think of going to any other workout facility. A great place for beginners just starting their physical fitness journey, to professional athletes looking to improve on what they already have; The Grind South should be your first choice.

“I just love that man (Sam)”
“I have a bromance with Dean”
“Sam is just the best and makes me smile even when I want to cry”
“Dean pushed me hard today; I had a great workout”

A few of many comments I’ve heard from our 18yo and 14yo say about their personal training sessions with Dean and Sam, respectively. They both take their time to listen, holds our boys accountable and are always prepared with personalized workouts to help each reach their goals. We’ve been routine clients for 2+ years now and the boys’ progress is amazing. They are not only growing physically, but mentally as well.

I can’t recommend Dean, Sam or any of the trainers at The Grind enough!

I have been attending the Adult group classes with Matt for about 2 months now and I am truly enjoying it. I have been off and on working out my whole life, but the last 3 years have been more consistent and lost 60lbs. As you know working out alone is only fun for so long. I hit a huge plateau and couldn’t get myself out of the rut causing myself to gain some weight back. I decided to look into going to group workouts to meet people with the same goals as me and came across The Grind since they are so close to me. Ever since starting I have seen a major difference in my stamina and muscle gain. I am also back down to my plateau weight. If you’re looking for a place to challenge you physically but still make sure you’re enjoying yourself, I definitely recommend giving it a try!

I was diagnosed with reccuring ovarian cancer in March of 2025. I was so shocked that I couldn't keep my emotions under control.
My daughter told me I needed to start working out with her trainer at least once a week. It would help to get my mind under control.
So I gave the Grind a chance. It was the best move I could have made. I accepted my condition and started to fight my disease.
With the understanding and positive attitude of Chico my prognosis is going in the right direction.

I cannot speak highly enough of Chico and The Grind. I started training here about two and a half years ago and suffice it to say, I am hooked. I have always been active, but I did not realize how important strength training was and how much of a difference it would make. The personal trainers at The Grind are fantastic. They truly know their stuff and somehow find a way to make the torture that is these personal training sessions fun. They will push you to become the best version of yourself. Chico is a fantastic motivator. They are experts and know how to constantly and seamlessly change up every workout so there is no chance of boredom and no risk of plateauing in your results. There is no better feeling than how you feel at the end of a hard session. This is easily the best thing I decided to do for myself in these past few years. I cannot say enough great things about The Grind. I love it.

The Grind South

Our son has been attending for most the winter until now and the progress he's made is incredible. He goes to group classes three nights a week and works one-on-one with a personal trainer for sport-specific football conditioning. The improvement in his strength and fitness has been truly impressive—his muscles are growing, and he’s in fantastic shape.

What really stands out, though, are the coaches and trainers. Every instructor we've interacted with has been knowledgeable, supportive, and clearly invested in each athlete's growth. They’ve created such a positive, motivating environment.

A fun bonus: our son recently earned his 100-day workout T-shirt, and he was so excited! It’s such a thoughtful reward that highlights his dedication and the gym’s commitment to celebrating milestones.

We’re so grateful to have found this place—it’s been a game-changer for our son’s development, both physically and mentally.

We have three college athletes who have been fortunate enough to land great scholarships at D1 and D2 colleges, so yes investing in yourself pays off.

I have been going to the Grind South for a little over a year, I have to say this is the longest I have stuck with a routine of working out and staying fit! The adult group class varies in size weekly, but I am connected to these gym members and the trainers always foster an encouraging and challenging class which has helped all of us member stay close. Tyler is a great trainer/gym manager as he always is up to date on what’s going on with us physically and even outside the gym. Dean has helped me on more than one occasion work through pain in ever aging body with simple instruction or feedback on exercises to do at home. Recently, he has made a huge difference in my athlete daughter’s injury that has been taking weeks to heal. Chico always has a challenging class and is a great motivator. So glad the Grind came to Jefferson County and I can’t wait to see it grow! ❤️

I started personal training sessions at The Grind South after failing to see any real results from years of going to the gym. It's unbelievable the changes I started to see (and feel) just after 8 weeks of training sessions, twice a week. The set up of the gym has a great feel. It's like a little community, where you never feel intimated or judged. Everyone there is working toward the same goal - to be healthier and stronger. The trainers are friendly and knowledgeable, and always have a smile on their faces. I never thought I could be so excited about working out. I am always looking forward to seeing what Chico has in store for me. The sessions are never boring, and he is constantly changing up the routines. He makes the full hour worth every second. (So, plan to go to work.) I have also attended a group session with Tyler. I was with a group of adults who have clearly been training together for quite some time, and everyone gladly welcomed me in. I cannot say enough good things about The Grind South. As a mom of 2 young kids, taking time away from them has to be worthy, and I could not think of a better way to burn off steam and recharge. This is by far the best decision I have made for myself in a very long time. If you are hesitant - your first group class is free. It's a great way to test the waters. I promise you won't regret it.

My wife and I started taking our girls to The Grind in Green Park years ago for agility & strength training. We were excited when they announced The Grind South location. Soon after The Grind South opened we were continuing their training closer to home. Through the years we have witnessed many high school athletes work to meet their goals to gain a step up in club, middle school, high school, and even become top notch collegiate level athletes. Chico, Dean, and all staff are top notch and only seek what’s best for the athlete and their goals. Shortly after watching our girls work out at The Grind South my wife and I decided to join for some adult private classes. We realized quickly how out of shape we were and prone to injury as our body is aging.

I highly recommend you to reach out and get an evaluation with one of the trainers. If you have goals and want get back in shape this is the place to go.

My daughter has been training with Tyler for about two months now. She is a multi-sport athlete and had had an injury in the middle of her track season. We were able to come in for an assessment to determine her strengths and areas of need. We sat down and discussed concerns and goals to work on building strength, speed and agility devising a plan specifically for her.
She was able to start training almost immediately. Tyler got to work right away addressing her deficits and her goals. I can see improvement in her strength, flexibility, and quality of movement already. He works her hard, but still manages to make it fun. He is upbeat and energetic. You can tell he enjoys what he does. Keep up the great work!
I would definitely recommend The Grind South and Tyler if you are wanting an individualized approach to training, particularly as an athlete.
I am especially thankful that I don’t have to drive north for training specific to her needs and goals. Thanks for bringing individualized training at an affordable price to our area! I’m so glad I reached out to get mote information and we had the opportunity to connect!

Chico is one of the best trainers around. I just transferred to Mizzou to play football. Chico has spent countless hours to get me ready to compete in the SEC. He is one of the most caring and generous people I’ve met. Check this place out !!

The Grind South is the best gym around and is sure to keep getting better. It is perfect for all ages and families. My son does personal training with Chico and I am able to do the adult classes. My son enjoys the training and at 7 yo, Chico makes sure his form is right always. The adult classes are great and provide an even better atmosphere! Everyone is supportive, encouraging and FUN to be around!

This is a great place for me. It’s new to our area. Equipment is new and top of the line. It’s clean. It’s big. The trainers are very knowledgeable. I am getting personal training and will probably get into the group training too. Love going!!

HIGHLY recommend The Grind South! We've been going to the Grind for over a year now. We started at the Grind and when Grind South opened, we moved down there. Our boys take personal training/speed & agility lessons with Tyler. He is GREAT! They do this for their sports, soccer & baseball and to be more fit. He has helped them with their agility and endurance. We definitely notice a difference and the boys are wiped out every time they leave!
The Grind has always kept their facilities super clean. Their staff is ALWAYS friendly and they always go above and beyond! I HIGHLY recommend the Grind South!!!

Love this place! The trainers are all very friendly and super welcoming. They are extremely good at working around my busy schedule so I am still able to come in and train. I have only been going for a short period of time and I'm already seeing results. Would highly recommend!!!!

For anybody trying to be a better athlete, improve strength, or just improve overall health… The Grind is a fantastic place to go. The workouts can be grueling for experienced athletes or be great for beginners to progress. The trainers there really know how to improve anybody from any point.

I have been coming to the grind for around about a year now. I started at the old location and Lindbergh and moved down to the south location when it first opened. As a high school athlete preparing to move on to the next stage of my life in college the grind has been a large factor in helping to prepare me for the next level. It’s an amazing environment with an awesome staff of trainers and a lot of friendly people. It’s an wonderful experience every time I’m there and I have never had any complaints about my time there. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a new place to train to give the grind south a try.

My husband and I started coming to the
Grind South location as soon as they opened. It’s a top of the line facility and is only going to improve the longer they’re in the building. It’s super clean, and very nice equipment. I have the utmost faith in the trainers. I feel like even in a group workout class I’m getting some one on one training. Chico is always sure to adjust things to my physical needs and make sure I’m always comfortable doing my workouts. I’ve never felt more confident and comfortable working out. Sometimes I need modifications for certain exercises for mobility reasons and he is always quick on his feet and knows exactly what to suggest to me instead. Having a confident trainer/owner is key! We love the Grind and will continue going here to better our health and wellness!

If you’re looking for a place to workout that feels more personal and not intimidating, this is it! I have followed the Grind on social media since they started, but when the south location opened up I knew I had to check it out. I am 4 classes in and have not regretted a minute of it. I love the small classes, and feeling like my trainer actually wants to help me grow. Everyone is so encouraging and positive. It’s so much better than going to your big chain fitness centers. I 100% recommend it to anyone!

I've been following The Grind since they had opened their first gym but never got the chance to check it out because of my drive. So when I heard they were opening a south location I was excited!

I've been going to their adult group fitness classes for three weeks now and I've physically/mentally never felt better! The facility itself reached beyond my expectations. But the main reason why I rate this gym 5 stars is because the trainers at The Grind genuinely care for their clients and athletes. With that, I look forward to each and every workout.
