Get a Grip

Grip Fitness

You give the word dumbbell a whole new meaning.

So pumping iron isn’t on your list of strengths.

Befriend Barbara Queen of Grip Fitness. With more than fifteen years’ experience, Queen’s no amateur. In her spanking new space, she’ll conduct structural assessments (target areas of pain on movement screens), discuss goals, and design a strength program just for you.

In the sessions that follow, she’ll help you build strength, flexibility, and the independence to manage the workouts on your own. Impossible! you say. Nope. Queen snaps pics and videotapes you while you lift, stretch, squat, and press, so you can see firsthand how your bod moves.

The facilities are top-of-the-line, from the machines to the locker rooms (you’ll never want to shower at home again).

What are you weighting for?
