In June if 2016 I was at the lowest point of my life and the highest weight I had ever been. I made the decision to make a major change to improve my health. In September, a good friend talked me into trying the gym with her. I was nervous and extremely intimidated. The women I encountered were wonderful and supportive despite my inability to even do one push-up. I committed to going a few times a week, and after just a month I saw an improvement in my strength and stamina. In November when Clarkys opened, I joined and have loved every day. Not only have I lost weight, I have gained strength, stamina, confidence and a second family that I am so grateful to be a part of.
SUCCESS STORIES

I’ve been a member of the Clarkys family for 2 years now! In August 2017, I turned 40, and was at the highest weight I had ever been at. I was tired, out of shape and generally just didn’t feel well. I knew I needed to do something to get back to being healthy. I had friends that raved about Clarkys and decided to take the plunge and join. I was so scared and intimidated; I couldn’t even do a single push-up! The coaches, Chad and Kim were so wonderful and made me feel super comfortable and welcomed. The changes that have happened to me in these last two years are incredible. I am fit, healthy, strong, confident and in the best shape of my life! I have made great friends here that hold me accountable, motivate me and inspire me every day! I have gained so much from joining Clarkys and I am so thankful I am part of this amazing family!

Super knowledgeable coaches, extremely well organized and efficient workouts – always in and out within the hour feeling like I worked hard. The programing is great and progressive so everyone sees really good results. 10/10 would recommend. Also, dogs.


I was searching for a program that would help me lose weight and maybe get a little bit stronger. I was also hoping for relief from continuing IT band soreness as a result of running half marathons. I was somewhat skeptical about a program that seemed to emphasize more weightlifting and less of the “boot camp” style I was used to for losing weight. But with the encouragement of many friends, I decided to give Chad’s program a chance. A year later, I can say that I am so happy with the changes in my body. Not only have I lost over 20 lbs. and 11 inches overall, but I am so much stronger than I ever thought I would be. Also, I am amazed at my recovery following my races, attributing it to my stronger core and overall fitness. I feel so confident and proud of my achievements and appreciate Chad and Kim’s constant words of encouragement to keep me going. I feel excited to join this shop family every morning to see how we can all grow together.

I have been going to Clarky’s for a little over a month and I love it. Knowing both Kim and Chad from a previous gym, I was confident the work outs would be stellar and they are. Every day is different and the focus is on being healthy. The competitive side of me loves that we get to really measure our progression and develop strength. But, the other part of this experience that is truly phenomenal is the sense of community that Kim and Chad have created; every person at every level is positive, working on individual goals and cheering one another on the entire time. It feels great to be getting back to healthy and fit. Thank you Kim and Chad for creating this space! I’m hooked.

This is an amazing place! I have never felt so sore and so good! The encouragement I have received here goes above and beyond anything I have experienced! Kim and Chad do an excellent job! If you have never done this type of workout or are looking for a change come on over! You will be amazed!!!
