Our Mission
Strength Training Made For You. Here at UP Strength Training Facility, we all have our different why’s that drive us to train. No matter the reason, we are committed to you and your goals and bringing them up to greatness.
At UP, you work either one on one or in small groups with a personal trainer. That way you are our prime focus without distractions of an open gym. Whether you are a beginner, just trying to get back into fitness, or very experienced in a weight room, there's a place for you at UP Strength Training Facility.
You will train in a fun and safe environment with many like minded individuals and see all of the greatness that comes with strength training. We're excited for you to join us!
