We offer different services that suit all fitness levels and goals.

Personal Training

Personal training is our flagship service and this is where we shine. Choose personal training as a way to get started with an exercise routine, to help you achieve ambitious fitness goals, to rehab after an injury, to take you to the next level, or simply because you work hard and you want the best!

Fit Cycle

Fit Cycle is a 50 minute indoor cycling class. For beginners and advanced alike, Fit Cycle is low impact and high energy. Individuals determine their own intensity as the instructor leads them on a challenging, efficient and energizing ride. Set to motivating music, you’ll work hills, sprints, jumps and flat roads. You’ll rapidly burn calories as you gain stamina and increase your fitness level!

Fit HIIT

H.I.I.T. stands for high-intensity interval training, and is a training technique in which you give all-out, one hundred percent effort through quick, intense bursts of exercise, followed by short, sometimes active, recovery periods. This type of training gets and keeps your heart rate up and burns more fat in less time.

Mat Pilates

Mat Pilates focuses on spinal stabilization and exercises to help improve posture and correct muscle imbalances. Strengthen your core and move your body with stability, control and precision. Progression and regression of exercises will be demonstrated making this class appropriate for new and continuing Pilates students.

Fit Circuit

FIT Circuit is a 45 minute functional fitness class that will help you succeed in sports and in life.
Each days exercise focus will be varied to ensure you receive a well rounded exercise program. The blend will include upper body strength, lower body strength, cardiovascular conditioning, full body strength, and core and balance strength. Some days will overlap and mesh together but each day will have a clear focus.

Reviews

I always look forward to the small group sessions at Fit Culture. I get to do a great workout in a friendly, comfortable place. I’m going again tomorrow!

I have been to several gyms in the past, but always felt like a number and not a person. Fit Culture Studio is the first gym where I felt a connection. The staff is knowledgeable and always willing to modify workouts to prevent injuries and work with each members ailments (e.g. arthritis, knee injuries). Kudos to Joey Bratton and Kristen Tomlinson for all your support.

Professional, knowledgeable, safe with good injury prevention. The best I’ve ever experienced and very different from most fitness businesses. Excellent with good help in goal attainment.

This is a great place for a great workout. I’ve been going here for about 3 months now and the staff is super helpful and always friendly. They show you ways to tailor the workout to your level (make it harder or easier). I love all the different class times they offer. I can always find a class that works into my busy schedule. Overall, this is a great place to get a good workout.

I enjoy working out at Fit Culture. It is challenging and the work outs are diversified enough so that I feel that I get a full body work out. The group programs are well planned and thought out. The scheduling is also very convenient for me. Joey offers a lot of incentive programs to keep you motivated and help be successful with my fitness goals. I like the whole program and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to better their health.

I love Fit Culture Studio! Amazing trainers who motivate, inspire and are so supportive. I love the classes which fit into my busy schedule and no two classes are ever the same. I have gained strength, stamina and have lost weight. I have been coming for almost two years and have never before found a fitness program that I enjoy more. You will not be disappointed once you try a class and I guarantee you will be hooked.

Awesome trainer directed small group work outs. Love the group atmosphere… everyone works as a team and supports one-another. 🙂 So much more than just physical fitness! Update: They are awesome at helping work through an injury…the staff really cares about your success and we’ll being! Highly recommended!

Nutrition

What won’t work.

First, let me share with you what will not work. A strategy that puts all of your eggs in one basket. For example, focusing solely on exercise and spending all of your time working out to achieve your goals.

What will work!

Taking a balanced approach! In addition to exercise and other lifestyle habits, we believe proper nutrition is key to optimal wellness, performance and body composition.

What do we offer for Nutrition?

For nutrition, we encourage people to plan and prepare their meals (sometimes in advance), drink a lot of water, reduce processed food, cut fast food and eat more colorful meals with whole food ingredients.
