Strength Fitness & Wellness

The most clean gym I have been into for a very long while. The locker rooms are spotless and the trainers are very experienced

I have enjoyed using this gym and working with it's owner, Shari, for about the last two years. I second what other reviewers have said -- it is not crowded at all. Sometimes during the midday I am the only person there! It is exceptionally clean, much cleaner than other gyms I have used. I find Shari to be very pleasant and helpful.

I came to this gym after leaving a larger, more populated gym in St. Paul. Upon leaving that gym, I was confronted with the same problem as one of the other reviewers below -- the requirement that I give 30 days written notice of my intent to cancel my membership. I can not understand why that requirement exists, but it must be common in the industry. I didn't like it when I ran into it, but that does not detract from the quality of that St. Paul gym, which I rated very highly despite the 30-day rule.

There are some gyms that are pretty social places, where people talk to you whether you want it or not. I have heard from some young women that they find those places bordering on a "meat market." Strength in North Hudson is just the opposite -- nobody bothers you unless you initiate the conversation.

I really like Strength, and I have never encountered any problems with Shari or any of the other members.

A gym itself is a building, a structure a place to workout for whatever your goals are for you. What makes this gym far superior to other gyms is because of Shari. She not only is the gym owner but a personal trainer. She's been mine for over a year or more. When I am there training it's like a family is working out. It's not because it's in North Hudson and smaller vs the twin cities its because of how Shari cares for all her members. You just have a different feeling there which is one of community and support.

The cost of paying for training or a monthly membership doesn't even come close to what it costs if you have doctor visits. I also buy on a regular basis products from IDLIFE. The combination of training, better nutrition and supplements is something I will always invest in because it's for my health and better well being.

Shari is beyond instrumental in changing my life for the better. She is on this journey with me and I have never felt like just a paying customer. I have felt cared for, supported and above all blessed to call her my friend.

I am so thankful a mutual friend put us together for training; my life changed for the better since we met.

If you're not a member yet. Ask yourself why not. Then drive on over to North Hudson and start on your new journey; you won't regret it.

Take care and best wishes

Great place. Always clean and equipment is well maintained.

I'm glad to have been introduced to this gym. It really is like my own private home gym. It's not crowded, no one's screaming to show off their bench press, or hanging out talking on their phone at a station. There's a great selection of machines, free weights, TRX bands, pretty much anything you could need for a good workout. The rates are good too--very affordable. I don't want to say too much good because then people will want to join and it'll get crowded!
