As coaches, we tend to make movement more complex than we need to. Our body moves based on where we are today, how we've moved in the past, and what we do on a daily basis. We are born with appropriate ranges of motion, but it's what we do throughout our lives that allows us to hang on to it or lose it.

I have been working out at Opex for about a year. I never knew how important it was for women to lift weights. It has completely improved my health and fitness. All of the coaches are knowledgeable and friendly. Mischa is my coach, she keeps things fun and challenging. If you are ready to take your fitness to the next level, give Opex a try. Bonus, you support a local, woman-owned business!

Legendary. Look no further, folks, if you're looking to get fit this is your place. They have a long history of being on the bleeding edge of training methodology and while their specialty might be on the elite end of the spectrum they help with backgrounds of all types. I dropped in for two days and was very impressed with the layout of their gym and variety of equipment. This is a world class training environment lead by one of the best in the business. This isn't your average gym, this is lifestyle engineering. Grab a wallball, a kettlebell and a heavy rope and get ready for a highly

OPEX is more than just a gym, been following OPEX for more than 3 years and have jumped into their education path about 2 yrs now. The amount of knowledge the coaches have and share is impressive, definitely has helped me become a better coach when it comes to assessing client's movement patterns and prescribing a workout program. As well OPEX teaches about nutrition and lifestyle consulting, learning how to tie all the dots together on how nutrition and sleep affect the results at the gym.

Since working with my OPEX coach I am stronger and healthier and don't stress about my programming anymore. The whole team and philosophy at OPEX is amazing. Love how they take into account lifestyle, health, goals and my particular circumstances to create my program design. I would highly recommend OPEX to anyone looking to improve their fitness and quality of life!

Hands down the most valuable investment an individual can make in their fitness journey. I have never seen another organization with a bigger commitment to their athletes. My coach, Sean, has been an amazing resource for my fitness as well as other aspects of life. I tell people everyday to contact OPEX and I always will. If you aren't being trained by an OPEX coach you are wasting your time!

This place is awesome! Michael Bann and company helped me rebuild and reactivate my body after injury left me frustrated and at a dead end in my career. Thankful to have found these guys. They are complete pros and some of the most knowledgeable groups of trainers in the business. Highly recommend.

Met with Jim and I was able grasp how much this industry means to the Opex Fitness family. It is easy to see the passion to help people better themselves is something to be admired. Not only this, but they are experts at what they do. If there is anyone looking for a personal trainer, Opex is definitely a place to check out. Highly recommend their services!

Being a runner for 20 plus years without and being into any and every form of fitness including crossift, strength training, MMA circuit training my body was in need of something more specific to me and past injuries. My OPEX coach Michael Bann has given me the opportunity to feel healthy and strong with my own personalized programming. I wouldn't have it any other way as it relates to my personal fitness goals. Michael is an amazing coach as well as the knowledge of the rest of the OPEX coaching staff!

To be completely honest it has been extremely difficult to write this review (I've been wanting to do this for awhile). I feel like posting a review on Yelp is an inadequate way to truly express how much Michael Bann has helped me in my journey to be healthy and how truly amazing it has been having him as my trainer. I do want to share my experience though so hopefully others can gain the same benefits that I have.
First, I will start with the easiest part, which is how I feel about OPT. I was decently nervous when I first went to OPT, since I am not a Crossfit Athlete or extremely fit
