This is seriously an outstanding fitness experience. If you're tired of the gym scene and looking for a class with well laid out fitness programming; ample personal attention to scale your workout up or back (depending on your experience); and a vast variety of full body workouts in a community who enjoys to be outdoors and workout, look no further. I am thrilled that I found Kevin and ELMNTL Fitness.
Kevin is a great coach and a genuine dude. When you meet him it will become obvious why he has such a loyal fitfam.
GREAT COACH!
GREAT PEOPLE!

I've been working out at ELMNTL Fitness week in and week out for over 5 years now. I've never stuck with a gym, home workout or fitness class for this long or this consistently, ever. Not even close. Why has ELMNTL Fitness been different for me? Two main reasons. First, it's because Kevin Wimmer, founder and instructor, works you out in a way that is grounded so heavily in functional fitness. I feel so much more capable to handle the physical demands of real life. Lifting something heavy. Carrying something from here to there. This is embodied in no less than the actual surroundings of our "gym

Elmntl Fitness has changed my workouts forever! Kevin does a great job of providing variety with each workout. His attention to detail is unparalleled. I am stronger and more confident than ever, conquering new challenges all the time. The people who attend Elmntl are incredibly encouraging with each other and you don't find that many places. As an added bonus, I am spending more time in nature (rain or shine). There's no better way to start your day. I'll never go back to a sweaty gym again!

I look forward to my workouts at ELMNTL every single time. There's really nothing else like this in the city for a fitness environment - outdoors away from the city, natural equipment, functionally-based, FUN, no gimmicks(!). It's hard but well-tailored so that even coming in as a beginner, when I was out of shape and coming off a string of injuries, I still felt welcomed and able to find my personal achievement in the work. There's a LOT of great camaraderie so everyone can laugh when it's challenging. Now, more than 20lbs lighter and much, much stronger, Kevin progresses the workout with me and

As a bodyworker I know what needs to happen to reach your goals, however when it was my own body I had challenges. And I was challenged in finding a personal trainer that was educated enough to help me recover from some injuries, work with me to explain and get me back to my strong self (that I had let laps) with the awareness to que correctly, oh and they had to make things fun. I found ALL that at ELMNTL Fitness! Plus it is outside!!
The group is so supportive and fun with ELMNTL its about staying positive and reaching that goal!

ELMNTL is challenging and fun. Kevin is a fantastic leader and sets a positive tone from the start. Each workout is unique and you can push yourself as fast as you want to go. Adding in the scenic park and being outside makes every workout much better. I learn something new every time I go and make it a priority to attend every time I'm in Cincinnati.

ELMNTL Fitness has been the foundation of my workout for 3 years now and it has changed my whole attitude and level of confidence in what I can do. It has gotten me in good enough shape to complete a few obstacle course races, something I never imagined I'd do. You don't have to be that "hard core" to fully enjoy and feel comfortable at ELMNTL though. It's also very family friendly; I have been bringing my boys with me for the last couple years. The workouts NEVER get boring because Kevin always throws in new twists, you're always out in the elements which makes it a ton of fun (yes, even in January

ELMNTL has been my weekly fitness routine for over 3 years. I love that it combines a trip to the park, a challenging workout that is different every time, and a great group of people who love the outdoors and fitness.
I have never worked harder at anything in my life and I am so much stronger because of Kevin and ELMNTL fitness!
Amazing sunsets, Ohio River views and changing seasons are an added bonus!

One of my favorite workouts! The most fun you'll have working out. Period. Kevin is an awesome coach and trainer and has created an amazing community and experience through ELMNTL Fitness! The workouts are challenging and you will never hit a plateau...unless the plateau is at the top of a hill sprint! If you love the outdoors, fitness, people and surviving the inevitable zombie apocalypse, ELMNTL is the only place to be.

Elmntl Fitness has it all-- fun, personal challenge, friendly competition, camaraderie, encouragement, nutrition guidance, fresh air, and some really nice people. Also cool T-shirts. And very reasonably priced for personal attention. Kevin Wimmer, the owner, really knows his stuff and can safely apply his knowledge to any one regardless of fitness ability. My only bugaboo is that this awesomeness is a 30 minute drive away for me, otherwise I would be a lifetime member.

Was in Cincinnati for a week visiting family but didn't want to miss out on my fitness routine so I did a search and came across this unique fitness opportunity. I emailed Kevin about the logistics and he responded promptly and in a very welcoming way. I showed up at the park early and introduced myself to Kevin. Throughout the session he was very nice and welcoming as were the participants. The park had a number of exercise stations and we were given instructions on what to do. Dips on parallel bars, bear crawls on grass, plank position jumps over a log post, deadlifts and presses with

Neither snow nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these athletes from the swift completion of their appointed rounds...
Do you love sweaty, stinky, gyms? Read no further.
Love working out in nature, with a top notch trainer and a group of folks that quickly become your family? Get off the couch and get over to ELMNTL. This is the place. Some friends dragged me here on a frigid February morning over 2 years ago and it has changed my life. I figure that comes out to more than 500 workouts. Every workout is different. The weather is different and the workout is different. The only thing

This was a great experience! Kevin offered individualized attention even though there were several others there. The workout was tough but not impossible. I have done boot camps before but not outside. The weather ended up being great! Not sure id be quite as keen of the weather wasn't so agreeable!

See my full review on ELMNTL's Facebook page. I have been going to ELMNTL for just over a year now. I can't say enough about how much I enjoy these classes. There's something here for everyone, so don't question whether you'll "fit in" or whether an outdoor workout group sounds too crazy for you. If you try a class (or several!), you'll find that working out in the elements is FUN! Being outside is a great way to take normal gym movements and make them so much more engaging. Second, Kevin Wimmer and Jeni Houser are so enthusiastic and passionate about fitness

Most Favorite: Amazing, challenging + full body workouts!! Outdoor park environment is beautiful, instructor is friendly + helpful, workouts are continuously changed for variety + challenge, instructor tailors workouts to each person. Price is reasonable + given the great workouts + instruction, totally worth every penny.
Least Favorite: Inclement weather can be tougher to work out in.
Bonus Mention: It's dog friendly! :) Adorable pups are allowed to join in.
If you're looking for a seriously challenging workout and would love to get fit while surrounded by trees, grass, fresh air

I cannot express how much ELMNTL has changed my life. It has taken me from being someone who spent most evenings on the couch playing video games and surfing Reddit to someone who practices real self care in real ways--swinging on monkey bars and spending time in the sunshine.
ELMNTL has not only transformed my activity habits, but has taken my life in a completely new direction. For so long I wanted to be someone who was "healthy." I would dream of being a person who worked out and made good food choices, but until I found ELMNTL nothing seemed to come together.
