These sessions are ideal for individuals looking to move better, feel better, and avoid long-term wear and tear.

We provide flexibility workouts for adults of all levels, including those over 40.

Neil C2022-10-04 Ape Fitness and Chris is the best place not work out. Chris and his staff provide a great workout experience and ensure your doing it right and ensure to provide a clean environment as well state of the art equipment. SN Plows2022-07-08 My daughter enjoys the fitness program at APE because it is tailored to her sports and performance goals. All the trainers are knowledgeable, approachable and very supportive. What I like about APE is that she learns the proper form and how to handle equipments correctly. Thanks to Chris Brainard - the personalized "bridge program" has helped tremendously in my daughter's injury recovery progress. Cary Millsap2022-06-24 I've been going twice a week to APE for many years now. Before I started training there myself, I spent a good bit of time there watching my sons' and daughter's workouts. The things they worked on seemed like so much fun; not just reps and reps of drudge work at all. What they do for kids is amazing. APE makes athletes. Most days, I sit either at a keyboard or on an airplane for a living. One day, I realized: I'd just gained ten pounds for no apparent reason, and my neck hurt so badly that I could barely drive safely. My physical well-being had gotten out of control. So I had a good long talk with Paul Brainard (this was before his son Chris took over the business) and started a workout plan of my own. Years later now, I'm still training hard at APE, twice a week. Workouts are *fun*, just like it looked when I was watching my kids. I'm fitter, stronger, happier, better conditioned, and more mobile. I've worked my way up to some workouts I could never have done just starting out, but I think it's important to note that I've *never* been injured as the result of an APE workout. The people at APEβChris, his employees, and the clients who train thereβare good at what they do and fun to be around. Being with the people there, old and youngβfrom parents like me, to students of all ages, all the way up through MLB and NFL pro athletesβis thoroughly inspiring. I'm blessed to have found APE. I highly recommend it. Tracy VanDorselaer2022-06-24 We love APE and all the trainers- equipment is top notch and they really personalize workouts to help improve your weakness Kim Davis2022-06-24 Great gym with top notch trainers.
