OUR CLIENTS LOVE THEIR GYM!

​

  Progressive Fitness unique custom fitness and therapy programs differ from other fitness programs and gyms. We offer the ability to heal and restore, the knowledge on how to get more out of your body, and the capacity

to lead a healthier life. At Progressive Fitness we are a close knit gym community and we invite you to visit our gym and see what makes us different.

..... 

Our bodies are such marvels of engineering and design that we often take them for granted. Pain, whether it’s from an injury, disease, overuse, or a sedentary lifestyle is usually a red flag that something is wrong. As trainers we teach and guide you through a custom program built around your needs. The ability to heal your own body is a lifetime benefit. We show you how the body can heal itself and we demonstrate ways to restore your body to a natural pain-free life outside of medical intervention.
