Amazing gym! Equipment is new and the best you can find. Lot of equipment you won’t find anywhere else. Staff and owner are the most friendly helpful people you will find. You really feel like you’re apart of a family and not just a member.

I have been working with Pam at Strand Fitness for about a year now. I have dealt with back issues for all of my adult life, and although I’ve explored a number of avenues to help it, I’ve never been satisfied. My physiatrist recommended I work with a personal trainer to build strength to support my back, so I started doing some research. I knew with my years of back issues that I needed to be really thoughtful about who I worked with. I wanted to work with someone who I felt confident would have the necessary knowledge and a balanced approach—to challenge me to build strength while also

I have been training with Monica twice a week for the last year and I could not be happier with my experience. Each week, Monica comes up with creative new workouts to meet my goals and always knows exactly the right level to push me to. She makes great use of the time we have and I’m always sore (in a good way) the day after I train. I appreciate her commitment and abundant knowledge as well as the individualized attention she gives my workouts.
Pam is also easy to communicate with and a pleasure to work with. Strand is a clean and friendly facility with all the right equipment for personal

Strand Fitness offers an excellent overall fitness experience. Their staff is very professional, affirming, and focused on creating individualized workout routines geared to the goals and abilities of each client. Their facility is up to date and immaculate, and the equipment lends itself to supporting a wide variety of workout routines. As a… participant in their online Precision Nutrition Program this year, I am learning how to revamp my approach to achieving a healthy and fit lifestyle as well as developing well balanced nutritional habits. Coach Pam has been personally involved each

We choose Strand Fitness for the personal attention and location. I have been so impressed with the communication from the team. They have worked with us to come up with a way to combine personal training and a fitness plan my daughter can take with her to the gym. I can tell such in difference in my daughters fitness level and confidence!

Love it. I was a little intimidated by the prospect of a trainer, but after meeting Pam I was certain it would be good fit. Bob has been terrific. I feel like the attitude and philosophy at Strand Fitness is ideal for there I am at and my goals for getting healthy.

I would highly recommend Strand Fitness Center in downtown Wheaton for any age. I am a retired senior citizen and could not have been more pleased with my progress. My personal trainer, Kecia is wonderful. She keeps me motivated and is very supportive throughout each session. She plans out each session, not only to keep it interesting, but also to target certain areas that I need to improve.

I just started working out with Strand Fitness two months ago. I do a small group once a week with Michele and a weekly 1-on-1 with Kecia. This is a great mix for me, as I enjoy socializing but also like the personal attention the 1-on-1 provides. The workouts are always fun because they are different every time, they are challenging and tailored to my fitness level. The trainers are accommodating of my "issues" and are always willing to help find work arounds to get the job done. I would highly recommend trying Strand Fitness whether you need help getting back on track or are just

I have been training with Strand Fitness for a full year as of yesterday! Over that year, I've had the chance to work with several personal trainers and they have all been awesome. I am consistently working with Bob now and he's great. I love the accountability that working with a personal trainer provides me. Bob's workouts are challenging but also make me feel strong and capable. I love how I feel after a great workout. Pam, the owner of Strand Fitness, has brought an incredible gem to downtown Wheaton. I encourage anyone who wants a great workout without the big gym commotion to seek out Strand

I've been trained by Pam and Michele and they are excellent! I never thought I'd look forward to these sessions...it's just never been "me" to love a gym membership. But this is different! The personal care they put to my fitness goals, the endless positive inspiration they provide, and after just a few short months, the results I am starting to see! Wow! Thanks for making me into a better version of myself. You ROCK!

I have been working with Strand Fitness for over a month now, and I couldn't be happier with the facility or the trainer. My trainer is Kecia, and she is very motivating, supportive, keeps me challenged, and is helping me see results quicker than I expected. I have some equilibrium issues, and she develops great work out routines that keeps things interesting without negatively affecting my balance. The environment of the gym is really comfortable, and the owner, Pam, is great as well. The whole experience has been nothing but positive, and I'm enjoying feeling stronger and leaner

I have had the best experience possible with Strand Fitness. I have been working with Bob since last October. He challenges me to push a little harder, encourages me when I'm tired or unsure, and offers adjustments to avoid injury. I have a physical limitations due to previous injuries. For me to see progress without injury is a first in my life. I've worked with personal trainers several times and my previous experience has been mediocre. Strand took the time to understand my limitations and Bob plans my sessions with my limitations and goals in mind. It's not a cookie cutter

I have been working out with Pam for almost two months now and am so impressed with the changes I see in myself! I am stronger, leaner, and losing weight. I couldn't be happier! Pam's encouraging and pleasant… attitude is exactly what I need in a personal trainer and her ability to come up with different workouts for each of our sessions is impressive. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Strand Fitness so far and am eager to keep making progress with Pam's expert help!

I train with Jeremy Bradley and he is outstanding. I have been an athlete for many years and worked with numerous personal trainers, Jeremy is one of the best. He understands the difficulties around rebuilding your body on account that he has done it himself. To often trainer's are simply athletes who have no understanding on the difficulties and frustrations associated with rebuilding, Jeremy is not like that at all.

Awesome gym, great team. I'm not into the country club gym setting, this is a professional gym where you can go and get straight without distractions. Jeremy Bradley is an outstanding trainer who is direct, prepared and highly gifted. He's going through conditioning himself so you can easily relate to him. He is one of the best I've worked with.
