What it sounds like when it works.

Legacy Fitness holds a 4.9 rating from 135 Google reviews. These are some of the people behind it, in their own words.

Over 1,500 transformations so far, and most of them started with someone nervous about walking in. If that is you, the programs and the class times are a good place to look next.

her best shape
“I came to Legacy Fitness to break a lifelong habit of poor eating, yo-yo dieting, and a sedentary lifestyle. From the very start, gym owner Griffin Jerke and my nutrition coach Kim Madden were encouraging and instilled in me the belief that I was capable of so much more in the area of health and fitness. The first-rate nutrition coaching, challenging group workouts, and the Legacy "family" of coaches and members have made fitness so much fun. My journey with Legacy has been a massive victory for me. I lost 25 lbs, gained serious muscle, and have entered my 60s in the best shape of my life.”

Pinned to the board: four more Google reviews.

Different starting points, same theme. Nobody feels judged, and every move has a modification.

“Before Legacy, I was not a gym person. From day 1 everyone (coaches and attenders) made me feel welcome and helped me along the way. Maranda met me where I was at with nutrition and helped me make one small change at a time turning it into a lifestyle. By far the hardest part is walking through the door the first day. Thanks Legacy!”

“Wish I could give more than 5 stars! I was very nervous when I first joined, it had been a VERY long time since I had been to a gym. Everyone is so welcoming and encouraging, whether it's your first day or 1000th day. My favorite part is there are all levels of fitness! If there is an exercise you have troubles with or an injury, the trainers always have a modification (and they don't make you feel bad for asking). The trainers themselves are passionate about what they do and it shows!”

“Love this gym. The group atmosphere is always so motivating and inspiring. The work-outs are challenging but always different, dynamic and fun! Griffin (and the other coaches!) really care about your progress and help you to reach your goals! 10/10 would recommend.”

“One of a kind boutique fitness gym, women/vet owned, geared towards the 40+ of age that want to get fit, stay fit, improve nutrition, and supported by gym friends to be the best version of you! Coaches here are the best of the best! Legacy is not just a gym, it's a way of life and opportunities for outside gym activities if you want it. Very welcoming crew.”

What members notice, and when.

Most members notice increased energy and strength in weeks, with body composition changes within 4 to 12 weeks. The plan stays simple: show up to your coached class, follow a nutrition plan you can keep, and let the weeks add up.

Weeks: energy and strength

Early on, members report more energy and more strength, in class and out of it.

Weeks: body composition

Coached strength training plus a nutrition plan with tracking, adjusting and accountability drive the change. Nancy and Grace describe where that can land, and Karrie describes how it starts: one small change at a time.
