I Now Love Exercising! I originally joined with the idea that I would learn how to workout for three months and then switch to the local YMCA. A year later I can't imagine ever leaving. The coaches are amazing--the biggest cheerleaders, but able to tailor the workout to fit someone (like myself) with physical challenges like a bad back. They know how to push you to be your best, and are an amazing resource. I cannot recommend Bent on Better enough. They literally changed my mind from hating exercising to loving it!

Bent on Better is not just a clean, friendly gym! Bent on Better is not just a clean, friendly gym, it's a lifestyle! At 65 yrs old and into my 8th year, I've learned volumes about strength training, fitness, and nutrition. Co-owners, Matt & Lynn April, along with Molly and Cass, are amazing, dedicated coaches and excellent 1:1 personal trainers. Small sessions. . .supportive, encouraging members. . .community involvement. Hands down, the best investment I've ever made!

Beginner friendly Prior to coming to Bent on Better I hadn’t tried much because I was intimated by the gym atmosphere and my lack of knowledge. I have been a vegetarian most of my life, but have not been eating healthy. Matt is so welcoming and knowledgable. He sat down with me and laid out a plan that is sustainable and made me feel excited. While Matt knows tons about physical fitness he knows just as much about nutrition. He got me on a meal plan that works for me and explained why making the changes were important. I was overwhelmed at first because I've never been into cooking, but the recipes are easy to make and taste great. The trainers here are amazing. After only a week of classes I’m noticing differences. I have more energy, feel fuller and feel better mentally. Cass and Molly are excellent trainers. They are so supportive, but also push you to reach your potential. They check in with you frequently to make sure you feel the exercise in the right place and help you make adjustments if you don’t. Everyone I’ve met so far at Bent on Better has been very kind. I actually look forward coming into class each day. Joining Bent on Better has been the absolute best investment I have made in myself. I’m so excited to see my future self.

6-week fat loss challenge Just completed a 6-week fat loss challenge at B.O.B. I successfully achieved a 22% reduction in body fat thanks to the guidance of the B.O.B. trainers and the competition!! Prior to the challenge I knew I wanted to loss some weight, but Matt April helped put that into perspective, "do you want to lose weight or lose fat?". Fairly obvious choice! The B.O.B. trainers put together a target calorie and meal plan down to the amount of proteins/carbs/fats per day. It was up to me to follow through on that plan, utilizing a meal tracking app. I was also upon me to be consistent in the gym. I maintained an average of 4x per week on strength training at the gym. At the end of the 6 weeks, not only did I lose the fat percentage, I also gained muscle mass! Sincerely appreciate all the support of this B.O.B. FAMILY!!
