At Hands On Fitness, we believe exercise should enhance your life — not hurt you. Your workouts should challenge you, build confidence, and help you move better for years to come. That’s why our mission is simple: to move you toward your goals while helping you move well, move often, and enjoy the process.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned athlete, our goal is to help you build strength, restore balance, and create healthy habits that last a lifetime.
What Makes HOF Different
Unlike big box gyms, Hands On Fitness is a private studio designed for comfort, focus, and personal attention. You’ll never feel lost in a crowd or rushed through a session. Instead, you’ll work one-on-one with an experienced trainer who listens to your goals, understands your limitations, and celebrates your progress every step of the way.
We offer:
Personal Training: Customized one-on-one, couples, or small-group sessions to improve strength, energy, mobility, and balance.
Nutrition Coaching: Realistic and sustainable strategies designed for your body type, lifestyle, and goals — no fad diets required.
Group Classes: Fun and small group classes for a more hands on fitness experiences
Between sessions, we provide homework, challenges, and nutrition tips to help you stay motivated and consistent — even when life gets busy.
Flexible & Accessible Training
We understand that your time is valuable. That’s why all sessions are by appointment, with flexible scheduling to fit your work and family life.
