I have been active in sports as long as I can remember, from Little League to marathons. Wild Workouts taught me how to maximize my workouts and move correctly. Helping others move better and feel better has been the most joyful experience I can imagine.
Wild has exceeded our expectations as a fitness facility. The coaching staff encourages you to be your best. Modifying when dealing with injuries, making everyone feel welcome, no matter what age you are, or your abilities, being a beginner or seasoned athlete. There are a wide variety of specialty classes to go along with bootcamps and one on one classes.
PAT & LORI G.
I joined Wild with a goal of getting fit. What I didn’t expect were incredible changes to my physical and mental health and confidence in my fitness abilities. With the coaching and support at Wild, I ran my first half marathon and then my first marathon. And now the coaches are helping me adapt to exercising through my first pregnancy. Joining Wild is one of the best investments I’ve made for myself.
ANNA E.
Wild has a real neighborhood feel; you walk in and it’s like everyone knows you. And it’s so convenient and flexible; I don’t have to schedule my life around my workout. The coaches make it fun and provide modifications to your workout—without judgement—whether you’re picking up the 4-pound weight or the 40-pound weight. Because of Wild I feel more comfortable in my skin; I hurt less and handle stress better.
