"This is an amazing gym!"

The facility is spacious with plenty of room to not be on top of the next person. Great equipment with enough to accommodate the busy times of the day. Don and all of the staff here are very knowledgeable and always willing to help with whatever your goals may be. It is also very clean, there is never a day that I don’t see Don or his wife going around cleaning the facility and equipment. Also, very affordable!

"Don keeps the place immaculate."

I have been a member for more than 20 years. Can honestly say this is the best equipped and most pleasant and relaxing place to workout that I’ve ever experienced. It’s open 24/7 and is never too crowded. Don keeps the place immaculate. The members are all courteous and considerate. Have made many good friends through my time spent here. Love this gym.

"I feel very comfortable there."

I highly recommend this gym for newcomers, veterans and anyone in between. It is clean, spacious and has plenty of equipment. Conveniently located and good parking. I feel very comfortable there, as members are always respectful of space and time. The owner, Don, is not only a great coach/trainer but he is a nutritionist and has written several books on the subject. He is professional and easy to work with.

Harlene Russell

"Friendly and well equipped!"

Every time I travel and go to a different gym as a guest, I am bluntly reminded how awesome your gym is. It’s always clean, friendly and extremely well equipped!  Thanks so much for all you do, Don.

Ashley S: "I was at a point in my life that the thought of working out and getting good physical condition seemed impossible. I hadn't done any running for 15 years, my whole body felt physically weak and I was 20lbs overweight. I made the decision I wanted to change and I started working with Dwayne Perry, and that was when everything really did begin to change for me. I started losing fat and gaining strength. Two months after starting a program with Dwayne I ran a 4 mile race and placed 11th, and I hadn't run a step in 15 years. I lost the 20 lbs of fat and gained muscle and overall body strength, not just in certain areas of my body but a balanced strength involving my entire body. When I was traveling, Dwayne would line me out with realistic workouts for where I was so I could continue to work out. I avoided injury and learned to how work and move my body in a way I'd never known before. Training with Dwayne Perry was one of the best decisions I've ever made and I highly recommend him to anyone."

Melissa K.

“Throughout my life, my weight has fluctuated 30-40 pounds. Don’s revolutionary exercise and eating program enlightened me to a totally different way of thinking about both. I used to be extremely fatigued during the day, but as soon as I started this program, it literally gave me a new life, full of zest. I lost 40-pounds, gained muscle tone and downsized from a size 14 to a size 10. No kidding! I still eat ice cream, lattes, and red wine, just not everyday.”

Doug M.

“I lost 51 pounds in four months (265 to 214). I didn’t have a big loss all at once, but I consistently lost two-to-three pounds each week. It isn’t rocket science, just common sense eating and a few brief but strenuous workouts a week. Very doable for me! The biggest thing I’ve noticed is my energy coming back; I don’t feel so sluggish all the time. I drive my wife crazy with my new bee-keeping hobby! Wondering why I feel so much better, I realized it was like carrying a 50-pound bag of dog food on my shoulder every day.”

Brittney C.

“Going into this, the only thing I thought about was what I wanted to lose. I never thought about everything I would gain: the determination and discipline to lose 22 pounds and 2 pant sizes in two months! While losing that much weight feels incredible, the confidence I have gained has made my determination even stronger.

I never thought I would see that person in myself again, but when you have an amazing support group, anything is possible. I am so thankful to Don for his encouraging words and coaching.  It is exactly what I needed in order to find my motivation. I still have far to go, but I couldn’t be happier with this journey."

Christian D.

"When I started my fitness journey a little over 2 years ago I was in pretty bad shape. I was 235 lbs., I drank way too much, and was having pretty major health issues. I decided to make some changes. I went to my apartment's gym to workout and it was not pretty! I've always been a pretty good athlete, but I couldn't even do very simple things like run on the treadmill or do more than 5 pushups. When I discovered this, I decided no more of this nonsense.

I had been to Fit 24/7 in the past, and had a few discussions with Don, but this time I was serious. I scheduled a nutrition/workout session with him and away I went. Now, 2 years later, I'm 176 pounds and still going strong. Don has been there with me every step of the way.

He's always there with a quick word of advice or answer to a question. I got down to 164 and it came time for me to stop trying to lose fat and start gaining muscle, so Don and I came up with a quick game plan.  It's not magic, or quick and easy, it's flat out science, good guidance, self-determination and time (patience). You have to make a complete lifestyle change, and one that's not just for 30, or 60, or 90 days. You have to commit to it long term. Fitness is forever. And with a great teacher like Don I swear, ANYONE can do it!!!"

Diane Steinbacher: "You introduced the Ultimate Eating Plan and an exercise program to me. You told me the diet would help take away inflammation from my joints; what an understatement! It made a huge difference in my knees in just a few weeks! The swelling and pain has gone down immensely! I stayed committed to the exercise program as well, and I have gone from size 16 to 12 in just 2 months. I feel stronger and better every day. I did not think it would be possible to get this kind of improvement!"
