APE Fitness and Performance

Hey y’all!

BEST athletic training facility I have ever been to! Not only is Chris and John and Max some of the best coaches I have ever had BUT on top of that they helped me lose a WHOLE 35 lbs! It was insane and I grew so much muscle with the transformation and leaned out. I was 235lbs when I started but now I am a steady and consistent 198lbs! Thank guys for always having your members backs and always helping us improve our mobility and mentally keeping us motivated by the awesome workouts. I can actually say I am definitely the happiest I have been in awhile! 💪🏻 keep it up! Go check them out! Amazing coaches and training plans!

Chris and his staff at APE take time teaching clients correct movements and exercises to enhance their life. The gym is clean, trainers are constantly watching and helping, and Chris knows his craft. Thank you APE for helping me reach my health goals.

Ape Fitness and Chris is the best place not work out. Chris and his staff provide a great workout experience and ensure your doing it right and ensure to provide a clean environment as well state of the art equipment.

My daughter enjoys the fitness program at APE because it is tailored to her sports and performance goals. All the trainers are knowledgeable, approachable and very supportive. What I like about APE is that she learns the proper form and how to handle equipments correctly. Thanks to Chris Brainard - the personalized "bridge program" has helped tremendously in my daughter's injury recovery progress.

I've been going twice a week to APE for many years now. Before I started training there myself, I spent a good bit of time there watching my sons' and daughter's workouts. The things they worked on seemed like so much fun; not just reps and reps of drudge work at all. What they do for kids is amazing. APE makes athletes.

Most days, I sit either at a keyboard or on an airplane for a living. One day, I realized: I'd just gained ten pounds for no apparent reason, and my neck hurt so badly that I could barely drive safely. My physical well-being had gotten out of control. So I had a good long talk with Paul Brainard (this was before his son Chris took over the business) and started a workout plan of my own.

Years later now, I'm still training hard at APE, twice a week. Workouts are *fun*, just like it looked when I was watching my kids. I'm fitter, stronger, happier, better conditioned, and more mobile. I've worked my way up to some workouts I could never have done just starting out, but I think it's important to note that I've *never* been injured as the result of an APE workout.

The people at APE—Chris, his employees, and the clients who train there—are good at what they do and fun to be around. Being with the people there, old and young—from parents like me, to students of all ages, all the way up through MLB and NFL pro athletes—is thoroughly inspiring.

I'm blessed to have found APE. I highly recommend it.
