Why Prescription Fitness?
“I’m not here to overwhelm you with charts or stats—I’ll just tell you this: we’re the best at what we do.
To uncover your true potential you must first find your own limits and then you have to have the courage to blow past them.
As a kid, I remember watching the Indians play the Yankees at Municipal Stadium with my dad. I asked him, “Dad, why are the Yankees so good?” His answer was simple: “They go out and get the best players.” That philosophy stuck with me, and it’s exactly how I’ve built Prescription Fitness.
We seek out the best trainers in the industry—professionals with national certifications, four-year degrees, and even master’s degrees. Together, our team has over 200 years of experience, setting us apart from other fitness companies where trainers often rely on nothing more than a weekend certification.
When you train with Prescription Fitness, you’re working with the best of the best—because that’s what it takes to help you succeed.”

Customized Programs
We do not offer cookie cutter programs. Everyone begins with a complete health assessment and goal setting session. The program is customized to fit your goals, time frame, and budget. We help you stay accountable by supplying you with a food journal to record your nutrition. We also keep you on track by staying in contact with you through texts, emails, and phone calls. Most of our friends come to us because they are not getting the results they want on their own. Come see the Prescription Fitness Difference for yourself!
