Energy Fitness is already a great health club. Excellent equipment, lovely staff, super cute trainers, tons of free group classes — what more could we need to slim down and healthy ourselves up, right?

Trainer Anisa Cox (right) inspires Tess Shelby to flex her biceps through weight training and boxing moves. Energy Fitness ensures its trainers are nationally certified and able to customize training programs to meet all workout levels.

More Plans in the Works
The club, says owner Jeff James, will continue to grow and expand. Plans are in the works to add yet more children's activities including an interactive gaming room that incorporates exercise.

"We're expanding to accommodate the growth and increased interest in family-oriented sports and fitness," he says. "Fitness and exercise can and should be part of everyone's life in some form or another. At Energy Fitness we are always striving to create the best and most inviting place possible to make that dream happen."
