I’ve been coming to this gym for over 20 years, and it has truly been one of the most grounding constants in my life. Joey Rivera is an exceptional trainer, leader, and coach. His classes are fun, motivating, and disciplined. He holds you accountable while never compromising on proper form, fundamentals, and technique. He pushes you to be better in the best possible way. I’m not naturally self-motivated when it comes to working out, so having someone who challenges me, encourages me, and yes sometimes yells at me is exactly what I need. That’s why this place works for me. During one of the most difficult periods of my life, after the devastating loss of my son, this gym became a lifeline. On days when I didn’t want to get out of bed or didn’t know what to do with myself, I came here. It gave me peace, purpose, strength, and healing. It helped me rebuild my confidence and stay healthy both mentally and physically. I’m deeply grateful for this community and for Joey’s leadership. I truly can’t recommend this gym enough.
Apex and everyone there are always welcoming and encouraging. I recommend anyone, regardless of your fitness goals, to attend. The classes are fun and you’ll get a great workout always.
