As a physical therapist, seeing how SISU operates and conducts their training it's truly a breath of fresh air. I've seen so many patients who have joined other gyms and end up getting injured. Once you take a class at SISU, you'll never look back and will immediately see just how different they are. Their programming is methodical and not randomly thrown together like most gyms. This leads to not only improved results but will also decrease your risk of injury. On top of all this, I can't say enough about the owners, Jeff and Nick. Truly awesome guys and ones who want to see you win and hit your goals. Their community of members is second to none as well. Bottom line: If you're looking around at different gyms and overwhelmed about all the different options just give one class with them a shot and you'll have your answer and never look back!

It always feels like home and it’s no judgement there!! I just love it!!

To train at Sisu Strength Academy means so much more than to show up and get through tough workouts. The coaches and community at Sisu have given me, and many others, all of the tools I needed to transform my own life. In addition to offering excellent programming and fitness expertise, the Sisu coaches, Jeff and Nick, have an outstanding ability to push all members past their perceived limits and towards their greatest potential. They have instilled in me the importance of viewing challenges as opportunities rather than barriers, as well as the power of having purpose and intent in all that I do (both in and out of the gym). The ways in which Jeff and Nick have supported me and believed in me since my very first day at Sisu has ultimately helped me build my confidence in myself -- an invaluable achievement that has benefitted me far beyond the four walls of the gym. Most importantly, joining Sisu Strength Academy has given me the gift of a tight-knit, uplifting, motivating community built on a foundation of hard work and mental toughness. The environment is nothing short of inspiring and encouraging. Sisu members look out for one another, cheer each other on, and work together to accomplish their goals and get better each day. Thanks to Jeff, Nick, and the Sisu community, I am a better version of myself now than ever before. Regardless of where you are in your fitness journey, everything you need to achieve your goals, transform your body, and strengthen your mind are offered at Sisu Strength Academy.

Sisu Strength Academy is more than just a place to go work out. It's a community working towards the goal of becoming stronger both physically and mentally. Since they opened 4 years ago, my purpose for showing up every morning has varied depending on what was going in my life. No matter if I was there to recover from a surgery or injury, meet a specific strength or conditioning goal or just for the support of friends, the trainers and members have always had my back. Jeff and Nick create the perfect mix of conditioning and strength training in a competitive atmosphere. Prior to joining I had never lifted more than a 20lb dumbbell and now at the age of 50, I can throw an 80lb ball over my shoulder. Regardless of age or fitness level, I highly recommend giving it a try.

Starting something new is always intimidating, especially when it comes to something out of your comfort zone! This is how I felt after college. Since I was young, running was something I was passionate about, and something I competed in both at the high school and college level. For many years my focus was on distance and speed. Living a healthy lifestyle is important to me, but after graduating college, I wasn't sure where to turn. I loved to run, but was looking for that "team" feel I had for so many years. SISU Strength Academy quickly filled that void. After my first week, I was hooked! Being an athlete my whole life I always thought I was "in shape", but SISU tests you both mentally and physically in so many ways. I am a proud member that has been with SISU since the beginning. The daily mental tests, nutrition advice, and positive team atmosphere is what I'm excited to start my day with each morning. Through all my years of athletics, this is the strongest I have even been. Never did I imagine I would be lifting twice my body weight! Each class brings opportunity to be better than you were the day before. The coaches take the time to help us understand why we are doing what we are doing, and truly care about seeing members reach their full potential. Don't let fear stop you from trying something that I know you will love. SISU Strength Academy is one of the best decisions I have made. Take that leap of faith and give it a try. You won't regret it!

The beginning of the rest of my life started 17 months ago at around 370lbs. In June of 2020, after making significant progress on my own, I knew I had reached a point in my journey where I needed to find the people, environment, and support that were going to help me reach my goals, and also challenge me to not only do my best, but BE my best. Stepping foot into a gym after being morbidly obese for over half of your life is hard, scary, embarrasing and emotional, but when you open up to people that genuinely want to see and help you succeed-not even the sky becomes a limit. SISU isn't just a place that I go to work out-it's a way of life that I choose to live, and it's the people that I surround myself to live it with. Thank you, Nick, for helping me recognize my strength. 🖤

To call Sisu a gym would sell the entire mission and culture of the place miles short. Before coming to Sisu I felt very satisfied with my workout routine and didn't think I needed a change. I decided to try it out for a 12-week cycle and I am completely sold. The coaches push each individual to go beyond what they've done in the past and look for new ways to improve, and they have a genuine interest in each person's goals. But what they do goes much further beyond setting goals and inciting motivation. They have made me want to strengthen my mindset in a way that will impact my life way beyond the gym. Sisu has taught me things that have changed the way I eat, the way I sleep, and the way I interact with the people in my life in a positive way. The principles instilled by the coaches have spread throughout the gym and created a culture that someone would be crazy to not want to be apart of. Everyone I have met at Sisu chooses to look out for their fellow person and encourage them, help them, and challenge them to improve. I want to become stronger and faster not only for personal reasons, but because I feel like it is my job as a member of the Sisu family to maximize my potential as a person.

If you have a desire to make changes to yourself and your life that will improve your health, your attitude and appearance this is the place. I thought I could make the changes on my own, and tried many times over the years, but wasn’t able to put it all together to make significant change. I have been with Sisu since it opened and I can’t imagine not having this gym in my life. I am motivated every day by the coaches and my classmates to challenge myself and work hard to be a better person, physically and mentally. It is truly the best place to achieve your goals and beyond.

Choosing to train at Sisu is one of the best decisions I have made. If you trust in their process and are willing to show up, they will push you to achieve more than you knew you could. Jeff and Nick genuinely want to see their members succeed and you can tell they relish in seeing the successes. Since I joined, I've seen a lot of members join with varying levels of fitness. Jeff and Nick are always there to work with you, regardless of your fitness level, to bring you along so you can succeed in their program.
