A New Fitness
Approach

Steel Fitness is not just about getting “Fit”. We are a family owned and operated business where we use science and experience to help you gain mobility & strength as well as help you lose weight and feel your best at any age. Our class size is small in order utilize more complex movements that can’t be part of larger group settings. While cardio may be one small aspect of what we do, our main focus is to help you move your body, recover from injury or chronic pain and reach new strength goals, all while working with your body’s dynamic movements. Utilizing muscles that will help you improve your physical appearance as well as your overall quality of life and ability to move and keep up, that is what Steel Fitness is all about.
