The definition of "formative" has always helped serve us with a good reminder of who all of us at Formative Fitness are. Fitness is such a broad thing, and there is so much "information" out there. How do we chose the right path to reach our health and fitness goals based upon our own individual preferences, lifestyle and background?
Formative Fitness provides our clients with individualized personal training, as well as our F.I.T. program, from our premiere personal training studio, located in beautiful downtown Traverse City. Each of our experienced, nationally accredited, and hand-selected personal trainers and instructors work together to help each of our clients reach their unique goals in an enjoyable, lifestyle oriented way.

I was the kind of person who did the gym membership thing and it always fizzled out quickly because a.) I had no clue what to do on any of the machines and b.) felt pretty intimidated by all the people who did seem to know what the hell they were doing.
Finally, after years of not working out, a client of mine referred me to Formative Fitness. I was incredibly suspicious. But I began to train with Brenden, fully expecting it to be a wholly miserable experience of pain and soreness and more pain. But it turns out having a well rounded strength training routine can actually make your life better

Game changer!!! Brenden and Formative Fitness have changed the way I approach fitness. I actually look forward to working out. They work with you one-on-one to tailor a workout routine specific to your needs and make sure to mix it up constantly to keep it entertaining. I went from one 30 minute session a week to two 45 minute sessions per week and I could not be happier with the results. Take the first free class they offer and get hooked like me!
